Ryan had been in his room for 3 more days after his new master had transformed him into the image, he believed a houseboy should look like. He got to see his master a few times each day where he would listen as the master spoke about everything. Ryan had lost track of time that he had been missing and wondered if anyone had even noticed. On the master’s last visit, he heard a knock at the cabin door where he wanted to scream but when the master did not act surprised, he knew who ever it was, it was someone he had been expecting. The master then yelled out for them to come in, and Ryan heard the front door open and shut and a guy’s voice call out for the master “Paul, where are you at?” The master yelled out “I am in the back room”.
As he stood there this tall, muscular older gentleman walked in and took notice of Ryan. The first thing he did is look at Paul and said, “You didn’t do what I think you did, did you?”. Paul said the craving got the best of me and I could not help it, however that is why or he is why I called you back into service. The gentleman had been the bodyguard who had taken Paul for his master. His name was Ezra, Ezra shook his head and said okay let’s start from the beginning. Paul proceeded to tell him the whole story of his loneliness and then spotted Ryan at the college and got to know him better. Ezra then asked, “do you know if anyone will miss him that could cause you problems”. Ezra then said let me do some research and I will get back to you on this.
A week later Ezra returned to the cabin and faced Paul and Ryan and told Paul his new houseboy was a hot commodity, and by hot he told Paul he has a brother who is looking for him and he is an FBI Agent not to mention his father, who was a retired state trooper. He looked at Paul and said when you pick them you pick them harder than anyone else. Paul looked at Ezra and said I can not let him go and I can not bring myself to do anything that would hurt him, so I need another solution. Ezra shook his head and said he understood and he had an idea, but it was going to cost. Paul looked at him and said no problem, Ryan was listening intently and looking on with fear as Ezra walked up to him. Ezra reached up and undid the gag from Ryan’s mouth. Ryan stood there scared to say anything until he felt a small surge of wanting to know. Ryan looked at Ezra and asked how long he had been here, looking over at Paul, all the days are all blurring together and I can not keep track of it anymore. Ezra looked at Ryan and said, “you have been missing for almost 3 weeks”.
Ryan looked at Ezra and said just let me go and I promise I will not tell anyone, I can just say I got lost or something. Ezra looked at him and said that it was not going to happen. Ezra took Ryan over to the bed and set him down on it, he said I am going to tell you a story and then we will talk about your future afterwards. Ryan listened to the story of how Paul became who he was and how he had been taken as a companion to his master. After Ezra had finished the story Paul approached Ryan and told him he would never be able to let him leave. Ryan said that I am his prisoner then until something happens to one of us. Ezra looked at Ryan then and said you could have a good life here but that would be by your choosing. Ryan was head strong and said no, this life was not his choice, and he wanted to go home. Ezra then leaned back in and forced the gag back into Ryan’s mouth and told him that he would have to accept eventually. He then told Paul to meet him out front and they both left to the front of the cabin where Ezra said that he would need to disappear with Ryan for awhile where no one would be looking for him, so Ezra recommended the house in Denmark. Paul looked at Ezra and say how am I to get him to Denmark. Ezra said leave that to me I will take care of everything.
A week later Ezra arrived at the cabin and was wearing a cargo company uniform and told Paul to give this shot to Ryan. He looked at it and asked what it was and Ezra told him it is a very fast acting and long-lasting knockout agent and would render Ryan out of commission for at least 24 to 36 hours. Paul took the syringe into Ryans room where Ezra could here Ryan trying to get away from Paul, when Paul had him on the bed giving the shot into Ryan neck. Ryan was crying not knowing what was happening but within 15 minutes he was feeling dizzy and feel down against the bed and eventually collapsing on the floor completely.
Once Ryan was out, Ezra walked in and then unchained him and took him outside to a cargo truck he had been waiting for and crawled up in the back with Paul and Ryan. In the back was a large crate and inside the crate was a casket that had been retro fitted with oxygen tanks and sound proof walls and fabric. Ezra laid Ryan into the casket leaving his hands attached to the harness but proceeded to take some cable ties and tied his ankles and knees together. Paul looked down on the unconscious Ryan and asked Ezra if he was going to be okay. Ezra said that he would be fine and depending on how fast they could get him to Denmark he might never know about the casket but in the event he does he proceeded to tell Paul the casket was retro fitted to be sound proof and had a portable breathing system put into it. Paul took one last look and said I know he is the one, it will just take time. Ezra then took and closed the casket and locked the lid in place and got in the cab of the truck and drove off.
Meanwhile, Ryan’s brother Cody had been looking into his brothers disappearance and was not having an easy go of it but he promised his mother and father he would find Ryan or at least know what happened to him.
