Salvador: [follows quickly behind]

[5 mins later, a doctor came in the room where Dieter, Thrax n Salvador waited]

Doc: Good morning. Wat can I do u for? Wat seems to be the problem?

Thrax; My brother's running a high fever

Doc: Let's see now... [chk his vitals, his temperature, his body, everything] His body seems to be alright. No indication of serious illness, just this fever. Has he been in a lot of stress lately?

Thrax; He has

Doc: Sometimes stress can cause illness to appear on a completely healthy person. I recommend he stays here for the nxt couple of days, just until his fever goes dwn to a normal rate

Thrax; Okay, thank you doctor

Doc: I'll ring up a ward room for u. Pls wait here [leaves to make the call]

Loki: Is Dieter gonna be OK?

Thrax; Stress induced sickness, he'll be fine after a few days rest

Vincent; 8didn't move8

Lavinia: [opens the door slightly to peek in] Of course ur in there [enters n gently tapped his shoulder] Hey, Vince. I come bearing good news

Vincent; 8looked up with blank, shrunken eyes8

Lavinia: [cringed a bit] Geez, wen is the last time u slept? U gotta take care of urself for the kids [shook her head] Nvm, I digress. Like I said, got good news: they found ur kid Salvador

Vincent; 8shot up but a bit too fast, he felt dizzy8

Lavinia: [quickly catches him before he falls] Woah woah, slow dwn before u hurt urself [sat him dwn bk on the couch] They're fine, bt Dieter got sick from stressing himself out over this search. He's at Dimples Heart General right now with Sal n the others

Vincent; 8hand tears in his eyes8

TOYLB: Growing Pains - Season 6-11

[The next morning, or afternoon, to be accurate, everyone woke up after sleeping in from a long day]

Loki: [was curled up in the covers, slowly stirring] Nnhh...

Rouge; 8had his arm wrapped round him8

Loki: Nnnhh... Wat time is it...? [looked ard trying to get his bearings]

Rouge; 8opened his eyes sowly8

Loki: [slowly sits up, yawning]

Rouge; 8sat up n stretched8

Loki: [tries to stretch but groaned as his back ached] Uugghhh~~ Tht was one real all-nighter

Rouge; 8was getting cricks out of his back9

Loki: Geez, how long were we at it...? [rubs the sleep off his eyes]

Rouge; All night probably

Loki: [looked at the time] Wow, it's almost coming to 3pm. We reli did it all night [chuckled as he leaned against Rouge]

Rouge; 8nuzzles him8

Loki: At the rate ur going, u might end up knocking me up [giggled teasingly]

Rouge; Some day but when Crissy is older

Loki: Maybe [leans in to peck Rouge's lips] We better wash up n get ready. Ur brothers might be wondering where we are, now that I bet yesterday's thing made the news

Rouge; 8got off the bed8

Loki: [got off the bed slowly too, n joined him in the bathroom to wash up]

Rouge; 8stepped into the shower8

Loki: Got room for one more?

Rouge; It'll be a tight fit

Loki: Not tht I'm complaining [enters n leaned close against Rouge, a cheeky grin on his face]

Rouge; 8licked his neck8

Loki: [giggled, then settled in as he n Rouge helped each other wash up]

[meanwhile, Ozzy was also awake frm his all-nighter with Thrax n was watching the news on TV]

Ozzy: [adjusted the volume so tht it didn't wake Thrax too hard]

Thrax; 8cracked open his eyes8

Ozzy: [didn't notice, his eyes glued to the TV]

Thrax; 8sat up8

Ozzy: [flinched a little at his movement] /Oh, sorry, did I wake u?/

Thrax; 8groans8 Haven't slept that long since I was a kid

Ozzy: [chuckled] /Nothing wrong with sleeping in once in a while. Tht means ur body needs the rest/

Thrax; 8stretched8

Ozzy: /I'm watching a news update on the Gangland Family. It looks like Devin's PD managed to get them to reveal the location of their other hideouts. More victims n kids r being rescued out as they speak/ [looking at Devin who is giving out the press conference, the scenes switching btwn him n footages of the immunity going in n wheeling or carrying out the victims n cuffing the Gangland Family's henchmen]

Thrax; 8smirked cruely8

Ozzy: [gestured at Devin at the press conference] /Looks like someone is enjoying the limelight a little/

Thrax; 8snorts8

Ozzy: /I wonder if the others are already awake/

Thrax; Probably

[there was a knock on the conjoining door frm Dieter's side]

Thrax; Yeah?

[there was no reply, just more knocking]

Ozzy: /Wonder wat's up. It might be Sal knocking/

Thrax; 8got up n went to the door8

[as the door opened, it reli was Salvador standing there staring straight forward, not used to eye contact with ppl other than his own immediate family, bt his slightly deadpan expression looked like there was a hint of concern]

Thrax; Hey Sal, what's wrong?

Salvador: [takes Thrax by the pinkie only with his thumb n index finger n led him to Dieter's bed n pointed at Dieter] Vatti. Sick.

Thrax; 8sighs8 Looks like he hasn't gotten over his sickness yet

Salvador: [puts his hand on his own forehead, as if wanting him to feel his father's forehead]

Thrax; 8felt his brother's forehead8

Dieter: [groaned a little but doesn't wake up]

[His temperature was dangerously high]

Thrax; Dammit 8looked round  fr a first aid kit8

Ozzy: [pokes his head in] /Is everything OK? Loki n Rouge r awake, they're asking if we wanna hv brunch, or linner, whichever u want it to be/

Thrax; Dieter's got a high fever

Ozzy: /Oh no. How high?/ [went to feel it himself, then flinched his hand away] /Frank, tht's reli high/

Thrax; 8kept searching for a med kit8

Ozzy: /I think we better take him to a hospital. This heat is not gonna go away with meds frm a med kit/

Thrax; 8nods, helping Dieter up8

Ozzy: [turned to Loki n Rouge who were waiting at his room] /Meal postponed, guys. Di is not feeling good. We gotta bring him to the hospital/

Loki: [can't mindread him, turns to Rouge] Umm, wat's wrong?

Rouge; 8translated8

Loki: Oh no... Poor Dieter...

Ozzy: /I'll get the car ready. U help us chk out, bro/

Dieter: [groaned as Thrax manhandled him]

Sal: [reached up to hold Dieter's hand tht dangled ovr Thrax's side]

Thrax; C'mon Sal 8carried Dieter out8

Dieter: [groaned again]

Ozzy: [went to get the car]

Loki: Let's chk out then

Rouge; 8nods, heading fr the front desk8

Front Desk: Can I help u?

Rouge; 8handed her back the room keys8 We're all checking out

Front Desk: OK, sure [takes the keys n rings out a receipt] Here's ur bill, not yet deducted frm deposit

Rouge; 8looked at it8

[the price was reasonable for a low-rent motel, with a few small call charges n wifi charges deducted frm deposit, mostly on Ozzy's room since they had to conduct their detective business]

Rouge; 8paid the charge8

Front Desk: [takes the money, counted it, nodded n took out the rest of the deposit aftr deduction] Here ya go, sir. Thanks for staying at Sleeping Knights B&B. Pls come again

Rouge; Thank you 8rejoined the others8

Ozzy: [waited in the car as Dieter was being helped into the passenger seat] All good there, Rouge?

Rouge; Yep

Ozzy: Let's head off then [starts the car]

8everyone got in8

TOYLB: Growing Pains - Season 6-10

Ozzy: [meanwhile had Thrax's head on his lap, gently massaging his forehead as they watched the news update on the Gangland Family's arrest]

Thrax; 8purred8

Ozzy: [watches the news] Well, looks like the law has finally caught up with those lowlifes

Thrax; 'Bout time

Ozzy: /We did give them a hand/ [chuckled]

Thrax; 8smirks8

Ozzy: [rolled eyes] /Tho technically I'd call it more of a shove than a nudge of a hand/

Thrax; Hey we got em baby

Ozzy: /Yeah, we did, n we kicked ass doing it/ [smirked dwn at him]

Thrax; 8leaned up n kissed him8

Ozzy: [giggled n kissed him bk, hugging him close]

Thrax; 8purred8

Ozzy: /U know, it's been a while since we... u know.../ [blushed a little]

Thrax; Think ya up fr it

Ozzy: /Only if ur in the mood for it, babe/

Thrax; 8nipped his ear8

Ozzy: [giggled at the nip, then held him close to kiss him deeply, running his hands along the virus' lithe body]

Thrax; 8pinned him n slowly started removing his clothes8

Ozzy: [giggled n returned the favour, taking off Thrax's clothes, still kissing him]

Thrax; 8licked his neck8

Ozzy: [moaned at the lick, reaching his hand dwn to stroke Thrax's groin, grinding his own against his]

Thrax; 8moaned8

Ozzy: /I love u, babe/ [kept on stroking]

Thrax; 8pants8 Love ya to

Ozzy: [raised his hips, guiding Thrax's rod to his rear pucker]

Thrax; 8shuddered8

Ozzy: [wrapped his legs ard Thrax's waist, pushing Thrax into him as he opened his mouth, letting out a voiceless moan, his face winced in pleasure]

Thrax; 8thrusted deep8

Ozzy: [moaned soundlessly as he gripped onto Thrax tight, savouring the pleasure]

Thrax; 8became harder8

Ozzy: [hugged Thrax tight, grinding his hips n thrusts upwards to match with Thrax, bringing him deeper]

Thrax; 8picked up speed8

Ozzy: [gasped at the momentum, his ass clenched ard Thrax's cock] /Babe...!! Babe...!! I'm close...!! M-More...!!/

Thrax; 8became harder n picked up speed8

Ozzy: /Oh my Frank... Ah, fuck, fuck, fuck...!!/ [arched up as he came hard btwn them]

Thrax; 8roared as he realised8

Ozzy: [pulls Thrax dwn for a deep kiss as his body twitched from the aftershocks of his orgasm]

Thrax; 8collapsed beside him8

Ozzy: [nuzzled him as he held him close] /Mmhh.../

Thrax; 8purred8

Ozzy: /U definitely still got it, Big Daddy Thrax/ [giggled]

Thrax; 8nuzzles him8 Try to slow me down baby

Ozzy: [giggled again as he went on top of him, straddling him] /Ooh, is tht a challenge?/

Thrax; 8smirked8

Ozzy: [leans in to kiss him again as he repositioned himself onto Thrax's cock, pushing himself dwn n into his hole again] /Let's see how much of the Germinator u can take, babe/

Thrax; 8grabbed his hips n thrusted up8

Ozzy: [threw his head bk, moaning wordlessly as they went at it till the wee hours of the morning]

TOYLB: Growing Pains - Season 6-9


Loki: [nodded as he followed behind Rouge to the newly booked room]

Rouge; 8nuzzles him gently8

Loki: [flinched n looked away] No, don't... I don't deserve this... I abandoned u n our baby, I don't even deserve ur forgiveness... [tries to bk away from his hold]

Rouge; Loki please

Loki: [sobbed as he shook his head, trying to escape his grasp, his heart guilt-ridden abt wat he had done]


Rouge; 8reached out8

Loki: [flinched, was ready for Rouge to punish him]

Rouge; 8caressed his face8

Loki: [sobbed, tears running dwn his cheeks] Pls... I don't deserve it... Maybe it would've been better if u hated me...

Rouge; Angry yes but I could never hate you

Loki: Then be angry at me. Punish me. I deserve it. I deserve a lot worse than wat ur doing right now

Rouge; You've gone through enough

Loki: [shook his head, not convinced that he was]

Rouge; 8kissed him deeply8

Loki: [his breath hitched a little at the kiss, then slowly kissed him bk thru his tears]

Rouge; 8held him close8

Loki: [gasped a little as he felt Rouge's hands roaming ard his body sensually]

Rouge; 8lightly traced him8

Loki: [whimpered a little in pleasure at the touch, gripping onto Rouge's shirt against his chest]

Rouge; 8purred8

Loki: [panted a little as he broke the kiss] Do u...reli want me...? Aftr all I've done...?

Rouge; Always

Loki: [sobbed as he kissed him bk again, slowly lowering the both of them onto the bed]

Rouge; 8traced the inside of his mouth8

Loki: [was breathless as he kept kissing him, slowly undressing Rouge]

Rouge; 8slowly removed his clothes8

Loki: [looked up at him n whispered] I... I may not be a virgin bt... This... This is the first time we're doing this... R u sure ur OK with me...?

Rouge; 8nipped his ear gently8 I'm sure

Loki: [blushed at the nip] I love u, Rouge... I love u so much...

Rouge; Love you to

Loki: [wrapped his limbs ard him, kissing him some more]

Rouge; 8traced his spine8

Loki: [gasped in pleasure at the touch. It had been so, so long since he had sex, even since he was pregnant, n it made his body feel quite sensitive]

Rouge; I can stop if ya don't wish to

Loki: N-No, pls... Carry on... I'm just a little sensitive, its been so long since I did it... I want u... [blushed]

Rouge; 8gently saddled him8

Loki: [breath hitched, holding onto Rouge a little tighter, bracing himself for it]

Rouge; 8gently eased in8

Loki: [gasped as he felt Rouge entering him, tries to relax tho his body instinctively squeeze tight ard him]

Rouge; 8gently thrusted8

Loki: [whined, gripping onto Rouge's arms as he panted]

Rouge; 8picked up speed8

Loki: [lets out moans n groans of pleasure as he moved to match Rouge's thrusts]

Rouge; 8became harder8

Loki: [pulls Rouge dwn to kiss him deeply as he clenched ard him, bringing him deeper inside him]

Loki: [whimpered] I'm... I'm close... H-Harder...

Rouge; 8picked up speed8

Loki: Yes... Yes... Yes...!! I'm gonna...!! [screamed out his orgasm as he came hard, staining his essence btwn them]

Rouge; 8roared as he realised8

Loki: [gasped in pleasure, feeling Rouge's warm essence inside him as he pulled him dwn again for another kiss]

Rouge; 8purred8

Loki: [nuzzled him] I love u... So much... Will u ever forgive me for being so dumb... [tears welling up again]

Rouge; 8kissed him gently8 Always

Loki: [hugged him tight as they continued their love-making all thru the night]

TOYLB: Growing Pains - Season 6-8

Rouge; 8was pacing in the room8

Dieter: [sees him pacing n groaned, bt too weak to complain abt it]

Thrax; 8stepped into the room with Sal8

Ozzy: [helped Loki in, following right behind Thrax]

Dieter: [caught Sal's scent n shot up, then sat there staring at Thrax in disbelief, mostly at Sal who was in his arms]

Sal: [sees Dieter n almost quickly held out his arms to Dieter] Vatti...

Thrax; 8brought him over8

Rouge; 8stared, his hands twitching8 Loki

Dieter: [shot out of bed n quickly took Sal in his arms, whispering sweet nothings in German as he hugged n kissed Sal lovingly, tears of joy streaming frm his eyes]

Loki: [his breath hitched a little, then looked dwn guiltily, moving a little behind Oz, feeling ashamed to face him]

Rouge; 8ran to him, scooping him n held him tight8

Loki: [gasped at the sudden hug, was at a daze for a moment before he finally burst into tears n hugged Rouge bk, sobbing in his arms] I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...

Rouge; You're here, you're safe that's all that matters to me

Loki: [continued sobbing in Rouge's arms, letting it all out as he held him tight, as if he was afraid Rouge would disappear if he let go]

Sal: [was silent for a moment as he was showered with hugs n kisses, then finally burst into tears as well as he was overwhelmed by emotions, crying out loud]

Dieter: Zere, zere... Eets okay... Vatti eez here... Vatti vill nvr let jou go ever again... [rubbed his bk to soothe him]

Thrax; 8flopped onto the seat8

Ozzy: [sat next to him, leaning his head against his shoulder] /We did good, didn't we?/

Thrax; 8purred8

Ozzy: [leans in to kiss Thrax's cheek]

Thrax; 8nuzzles him8

Ozzy: [sat quietly with Thrax as he watched the lovely reunion for a moment, then whispered into Thrax's mind] /Maybe we should go book another room so that Loki n Rouge can hv their privacy/

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzy: /U should make the booking, since I can't exactly speak. I'll help them get settled/

Thrax; Right baby 8headed fr the front desk8

Ozzy: [went to the gang to help them get settled]

Front desk: [was giggling at a comedy show on her portable TV on her desk]

Thrax; Excuse me

Front desk: Oh yes, sorry, can I help u?

Thrax; I wish to book an extra room

Front desk: OK, wat is ur original room number, so I can put it in ur tab?

Thrax; 8handed the extra key to Rouge8

Rouge; Thanks man

Dieter: Guess I got ze room all to myself zen. Come, mein chiddler, jou must be hungry. Vee vill order room service [carried Sal to the room he n Rouge originally shared thru the connecting door]

Ozzy: /U guys take care now. Cya in the morning/ [waved good night at them]

Thrax; Night guys

Dieter: [waved the guys goodnight n shut the door]

TOYLB: Growing Pains - Season 6-7

[the hall the virus was walking thru led him to a sub-basement underneath the basement they were in]

Thrax; 8looked round, trying to detect anything8

[there was a faint sound of wat sounded like a heart monitor machine]

Thrax; 8twitched his ears, following the sound8

[the sound led him to some kind of open room, with a plastic drape acting like a curtain to separate the room n the rest of the entrance]

Thrax; 8pulled it back8

[behind the drapes revealed something of a makeshift hospital wards, with rows n rows of beds occupied by unconscious ppl; cell, virus, germ, bacteria alike, all hooked to their own life support machine n IV drips tht probably keeps them unconscious, n further dwn the room looked like there were a bunch of cold storage fridges n thermoses, n a few trolleys filled with surgical tools]

Thrax; 8looked round8

[at the far end of the row of beds lay Loki, unconscious with the IV drips n heartbeat monitor machine hooked onto him]

Thrax; 8ran to him n loked him over8

Loki: [was definitely unconscious, n has a tag on his wrist labeled: MULTIPLE ORGANS VIABLE. SURGERY COMPATIBLE]

Thrax; 8snarled, stroking Loki's hair8

[sounds of footsteps coming in]

Thrax; 8hissed, merging into the shadows really to strike8

[it was a couple of cells dressed in hospital garments]

Cell#1: So who's next to be harvested?

Cell#2: I think the boss said to do the ones that are labeled MULTIPLE ORGANS VIABLE

Thrax; 8growled8

Cell#1: Who shall we start with?

Cell#2: [looked at his charts] Let's start with tht hybrid there [pointed at Loki's direction]

Thrax; 8felt himself transform8

Cell#1: Right, prep the tools n bring the thermos cases. Need to keep them in cool storage as soon as possible once extracted

Cell#2: Yeah, yeah, I know the drill [made his way to get the equipment ready]

Thrax; 8moved quickly n tore them to shreds8

[the slight commotion alerted the other ppl outside who were coming in to assist the first two cells]

Cell#3: Intruder alert! Report to the bosses! Hurry!

Thrax; 8didn't leave a single one standing8

[one of them managed to trigger an alarm before dying]

Ozzy: [was in the middle of escorting the kids out via hugging the walls n avoiding detection wen the alarm sounded] Oh crap...

Thrax; 8hissed in anger, trying to remove the IVs without hurting the prisoners8

Ozzy: [using the telepathic link] /Babe, where are u?/

Thrax; /Sub-basement below ya/

Ozzy: /On my way to ya. Did u trip the alarm or something?/

Thrax; /Partly, I've found Loki/

Ozzy: /Oh Frank, is he OK?/

Thrax; /Good thing we got here when we did/ 8shutters8

Ozzy: /I got the kids hidden in a safe spot. I managed to find some sort of exit for them. I'm coming dwn for ya/ [almost ran into some patrolmen n hid out of sight before continuing downwards] /Bogeys coming ur way. Hide, babe/

Thrax; 8merged into the shadows8

Ozzy: [also hugged the walls as he neared where Thrax was, waiting for the patrolmen to search ard the area]

Patrolman#1: Better alert the boss, just in case. We better evacuate n clear out

Patrolman#2: Roger

Ozzy: [waited till one of them made close towards his hiding spot before reaching ovr n headlock him, knocking him out quietly]

Thrax; 8looked round8

[the other patrolman was making last min chks, heading Thrax's way]

Thrax; 8bared his fangs n striked when he was close enough8

[the patrolman struggled in his vice before he slumped lifelessly in the virus's arms]

Thrax; 8threw him into a store room8

Ozzy: [peeked in] /Babe? U in there?/

Thrax; Over here

Ozzy: [comes in n sees the setting] /Wat the...? This... This is an underground organ harvest operation! They're doing black market organ dealing? Shit, is tht wat they did to all those missing ppl?/

Thrax; And worse things probably but I can't removed the wires in case it shocks their systems

Ozzy: /Let's just hope Devin got my msg n come here with backup. I'll go bk n get the kids to safety. U try to figure out how to remove Loki's wires at least/

Thrax; Right

Ozzy: [was abt to leave wen two bulky cells tht looked like the guys who came with "Vihto" to collect Salvador blocked him] /Ah crap.../

Thrax; 8snarled8

Voice: Well well, look wat the cat dragged in

[The Gangland Family showed up, with more goons in tow]

Thrax; 8cracked his knuckles8

Ozzy: [glared at them, knowing tht any witty remarks he might hv, they're not gonna hear it coz of the lack of link]

Vihto: I knew targeting a family who is related to the fuzz is a bad idea. This is all ur fault, Pa!

Peter: MY fault? YOU were the one who screwed up n didn't get the kid before he was found by those book nerds. U were eyeing him since the day u saw him lurking ard their neighbourhood

Neil: We'll argue abt tht later. Our hideout has been compromised. We need to deal with these two first before they bring in more fuzz

Thrax; 8smirked8 Bring it

Ozzy: [got into fight stance]

Vihto: Wait! U guys wanna fight here?? There's a bunch of merchandizes right here! Millions of carbs dwn the drain!!

Peter: Bah, it's already dwn the drain the moment these two contaminated the area. We're not taking any chances. We can find another plc to settle n find better victims

Thrax; Over my dead body 8lunged at them8

Ozzy: [followed suite as well, pretty much fighting as he did bk in Frank, just like in The Zit]

[an all-out brawl ensued, with gunshots in btwn]

Thrax; 8shredded as many as he could8

Ozzy: [gave a good whoop-ass to everybody he could, occasionally swiping their guns to fire at them n using his bio-weapon powers on them, careful not to hurt the ppl on the hospital beds]

Thrax; 8backed them away from the beds8

[soon loud footsteps could be heard n a huge crowd of immunity surrounded them]

Immunity: FREEZE! IMMUNITY! Ur completely surrounded! Put ur hands up!!

Thrax; Hope ya brought a medical team to

[the thugs put up a fight, bt ultimately aftr gunning dwn some, everyone was subdued]

Devin: Well, well, looks like we've finally got u guys, Gangland Family

Peter: Hah, u'll nvr hold us. We'll get out. We've got connections

Devin: We'll see abt tht [turns to Oz n Thrax] Hey, u guys OK there?

Thrax; We're not the ones ya should be concerned fr

Devin: I knw, bt still, I hv to knw. It's part of my job [looked abt] Oh boy, the medic team got their job cut out for them

Ozzy: [types on his phone] Can they at least help wake our friend Loki up first? He's mainly why we took this case

Thrax; And we need someone to look over Sal our nephew

Devin: U got it [turned to the medical team] Alright, let's start reviving them all slowly, start with him [points towards Loki's direction] N send some of them to where the kids are

Ozzy: [turns to Thrax] /I'll go with the medic team to the kids. Sal might freak out if he sees a bunch of strangers try to manhandle him/

Thrax; I'll take Loki

Ozzy: [nodded n followed the medic team to where he hid the kids]

Thrax; 8stood by Loki8

Medic team: [came to unhook all the patients on the beds, starting with Loki]

Thrax; 8waited8

[minutes later, Loki slowly stirred]

Loki: Nnhh...? What...? Where...? [tries to sit up]

Thrax; Easy Loki

Loki: [blinked his eyes, trying to focus] W...Where am I...? W...Why am I naked...?

Thrax; 8helped him up n placed his jacket round him8

Loki: [wrapped the jacket tight ard him] Wat happened...? W-Where... Where's Neil, and Mom, and...? [was confused, his memories still stuck on the day he was still being courted by Neil]

Thrax; 8bit his lip8 Don't go into a panic attack on me when I tell ya 8explained what had happened n where he was8

Loki: [the more he listened, the more his face morphed into disbelief, n by the end of it, he was sobbing hard]

Thrax; 8held him tight8

Loki: Oh Goliath... Wat hv I done...? Wat hv I done...? [sobbed hard in Thrax's arms]

Thrax; Hey hey none of this is ya fault Lok

Loki: I... I abandoned Rouge n my baby girl... My mom n my uncle committed suicide bcoz of me... All bcoz I thought... I thought I was doing the right thing...

Thrax; No to disrespect the dead but it's their own fault with their selfish desires, they should've known it was too good to be true n unless ya uncle recently moved he should've known his neighbour

Loki: [sniffles] I know... I know wat u mean... But I should've seen the signs too... I was too blinded by wanting to help my family tht... Oh gosh, Rouge is so gonna hate me... I wouldn't blame him if he nvr takes me bk...

Thrax; Like Tartardis he would, he's been worried sick afraid he would never see ya again

Loki: [bit his lip, unconvinced]

Thrax; Loki ya needed, he needs ya n so does ya little one

Loki: [leaned against Thrax's chest, still sniffling a little] Take me home... I wanna go home...

Thrax; 8helped him up8

Ozzy: [meanwhile was done with the medical team n helping to usher the kids into a bus tht is tasked to send them home, then carries Salvador in his arms] Time to go home, OK? U wanna go home to ur mommy n daddy?

Salvador: [doesn't reply, bt leans his head onto Ozzy's shoulder n hugged him tight]

Thrax; 8was waiting fr them with Loki8

Ozzy: [sees them waiting at the entrance of the building] /Oh hey guys, sorry for the wait/

Thrax; No worries baby

Ozzy: [smiled sympathetically at Loki, glad that he's OK, before taking out his phone] /Better text Rouge n Di abt this, give them a heads-up/

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzy: [text] Hey, Rouge. Is Di alright? Is he still feverish?

Rouge; /texted/ It's broken but he's still worn out

Ozzy: [text] Good to know. Listen, we're on our way bk now. Can't tell u much on the phone. We'll be there in abt 30mins. U good to wait?

Rouge: [texted] Yep

Ozzy: [text] Cool, cya then [holds Salvador close n made his way to find Thrax] /Hey, babe. Ready to go?/

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzy: /Cool, u hold onto Sal for a while. I'll get the car/ [passes Salvador to Thrax]

Thrax; 8gently cradled him8

Ozzy: [walked to where they parked their car, started it n drove it to where Thrax n Loki were waiting] Hop in

Loki: [nodded quietly n entered the back seat]

Thrax; 8followed with Sal into the back8

Ozzy: [double chk to see evryone in the car, nodded n drove off bk to the hotel where they stayed n where they left Dieter n Rouge at]

TOYLB: Growing Pains - Season 6-6

[the duo made it bk to their car, then following the map Oz printed out from Hero's search, made their way to the South side]

Thrax; 8scanned the area8

Ozzy: /See any warehouse looking buildings, babe?/ [did a slow drive by]

Thrax; Nothing yet baby

Ozzy: /Lemme knw if ya spot something/ [kept the slow drive by, looking at his end]

Thrax; Over there 8pointed at a large boarded up building8

Ozzy: [looked out] /Tht seems like the plc. I'll park this car somewhere further dwn the block, then we'll sneak our way in/

Thrax; 8nods8

Ozzy: [drove the car dwn three blocks for good measure, parking the car in a secluded alley]

Thrax; 8got out, tightening his coat8

Ozzy: [followed suite, chking out the area, making sure they weren't spotted]

Thrax; 8rubbed his chin8

[the duo slowly made their way to the building, keeping a cautious eye along the way]

Ozzy: [looked abt n saw a window high up tht doesn't seemed latched or locked] /Gimme a boost, babe/

Thrax; 8hoisted him up8

Ozzy: [did a small jump from Thrax's hands n grabbed the window sill, then quickly but quietly climbs up n thru the window, glad for the immunity training tht he still got in him]

Thrax; 8scaled the wall, following him8

Ozzy: [hugged the walls, keeping it dwn as he made his way dwn the halls n corridors, testing doors along the way, which r either empty or locked]

Thrax; 8looked round8

[there was some hushed conversation going on]

Ozzy: [held a finger to his lips n quietly followed the sounds]

Thrax; 8kept to the shadows8

[the duo soon found themselves above a group of ppl, led by the familiar faces of the Gangland Family]

Ozzy: [telepathically to Thrax] /That looks like our "Burkes"/ [jerking his head at the two men]

Thrax; 8silently growled8

Ozzy: [strained his neck a bit to see that "Vihto" was there too] (telepathically) N there's our so called "Ms Vihto" there [gesturing at her counting a few stacks of carb bills]

Thrax; 8cracked his knuckles8

Ozzy: [telepathically] /Better leave them first. We hv to find Loki n Sal before we deal with them/

Thrax; 8nods8

[the duo continued to hug the walls as they searched the area, careful to avoid passerbys n any booby traps laid out, until they found themselves at the building's basement, dwn the hallway a few rusty bulky doors could be seen]

Ozzy: /This looks like it. U chk the right side of the hallway, I'll take the left/

Thrax; Got it

Ozzy: [made his way to the left side of the hallway, testing the doors]

Thrax; 8tried the ones on the right8

[all the rooms were filled with random contraband junk except one, which seemed to be locked, n there were scuffling noises inside]

Thrax; 8slashed the locks8

[scurrying of tiny feet was heard as small figures made their way to the back of the dimly lit room, all except one sitting on the lower bunk bed staring at the door at Thrax]

Ozzy: /U found something, babe?/

Thrax; 8motioned with his head8

Ozzy: [enters to see it was Salvador sitting at the bunk bed] /Sal!/ [comes to him n chk him for injuries, which there were only a few cuts n bruises, looking slightly malnourished but otherwise fine] /Thank goodness ur fine, sweetie/

Salvador: [doesn't hv the link like Thrax does with him, bt he seemed to understand from his facial expressions n gestures tht he was worried abt him n reached over to hug him]

Thrax; 8scooped him up, holding him close8

Ozzy: /There, there.../ [stroke his head] /We'll get u bk to ur parents in no time/ [knows he can't hear his link, but he felt like comforting him just the same, then turns to look ard the room] /Holy mother of Frank, babe. There's more of them... [staring in horror as his eyes adjusted to the dim lighting to see a couple dozens of kids huddled away in the corner, visibly afraid of them]

Thrax; 8a low growl escaped his throat8

Ozzy: /Fuck, how many families hv they swindled... Or PLAN to swindle?/

Thrax; /And how many have they destroyed/

Ozzy: /Well, we can't bring them all together with us, n we still need to find Loki. It's time to call for backup/ [took photos of the kids with his phone n texted Devin, telling him their location n to send backup] /Hand me Sal. I'll stay here with the kids n find a way to escort them out. U go find Loki, babe/

Thrax; 8nods, gently passing him Sal8

Ozzy: [takes Sal in his arms, giving him comforting strokes on his bk] /It's gonna be OK. I'm gonna get u outta here with ur new friends/

Sal: [just lays his head on Oz's shoulder, trusting him with his safety]

Thrax; Be on guard baby 8slipped out of the room8

Ozzy: [nodded n started looking ard to see if there was a way out]

Thrax; 8slinked along the wall8
