Nick sat down on the couch and started
playing video games when the doorbell rang. He paused the game and got up and opened the door and saw Leighanne standing there.
Hey Leighanne, what are you doing here? Nick asked.
I heard what happened to Brizee and I wanted to see how she was doing, Leighanne said.
Shes sleeping right now, Nick said.
Oh, Leighanne said. He heard Jason cry. He went upstairs and got Jason and came back downstairs.
Is that Jason, let me see him, Leighanne said. She looked at him.
Yeah, this is him, Nick said.
Hes so adorable, Leighanne said.
I know he is, Nick said.
He looks like you, but in a way, he looks like Brian, too, Leighanne said.
Briz is a Littrell, Nick said.
What, Leighanne said.
Shes Brians sister, its a long story, but Briz was taken from Jackie and Harold when she was a baby, by Laura, Nick
said.
I know something was funny, they didnt look anything alike, I saw Brizee and Jackie together and they look a lot alike,
Leighanne said.
And you didnt say anything? Nick asked.
I thought they wouldnt think that way, I thought they wouldnt believe me, Leighanne said.
They would have found out then, Leighanne, that was a year ago! Nick said.
I know, Im sorry, I should have, Leighanne said.
It would have been easier, Nick said.
I know, Im sorry, heres my number, just have Brizee call me, okay, I gotta go, bye, Leighanne said. She left. Nick
sat down. He looked at Jason.
Hey buddy, Nick said. Jason gurgled and smiled.
You know, I love your mommy very much, and I love you, you two are my life, Nick said cuddling him close. He went upstairs and saw Brizee asleep.
Theres Mommy, shes sleeping, shes our angel, Jas, she is the love of my life, and you are lucky to have her as your
mother, come on, Nick said. He went back downstairs. He put Jason in his playpen and sat down on the couch and played his
video game. He smiled at Jason and continued playing. The doorbell rang. He got up and opened the door and saw Adam. Nick
slammed the door and locked it and called the cops. Adam broke the door down
and came over to Nick and Nick knocked Adam out and got some rope and tied Adam up. He picked up Jason and cuddled him.
Itll be okay, little guy, Nick said. Dave and Mark came in.
We should handcuff him to the prison cell, he keeps getting out, Dave said.
Maybe you should do something, Dave, he wont leave us alone, Nick said.
I know, Dave said. Mark took Adam out.
Hows Brizee, did he hurt her? Dave asked.
No, he didnt get to her, he broke the door down and came over to me and I punched him and tied him up, Nick said.
I hope he gets the picture, Dave said.
He wont give up until he has Brizee, hes obsessed with her, Nick said.
I know, he wont stop talking about her, he tried to get guys who are getting out for parole to go after her but they
dont listen to him, everyone in prison thinks hes nuts, Dave said.
I just wish he would move on, he aint getting her back, shell fight if he gets her, she wont go peacefully, Nick said.
Take care of her, okay, dont leave her alone, in case he gets out again, Dave said.
I dont plan on it, she cant walk, she was hit by a car and is paralyzed from the waist down, Nick said.
Tell her to take it easy and that I hope she gets better, Dave said.
I will, bye Dave, Nick said.
Bye, Nick, Dave said. He left. Nick called someone to repair the door. Two hours later, they were working on the door.
Brian and AJ came in.
Hey man, what happened, Brian said.
Adam escaped from prison and broke down the door, I punched him out and hes back in jail, Nick said.
Did he get to Brizee? AJ asked.
No, he came after me, Nick said.
You okay, Frack, Brian said.
Yeah, he didnt hurt me, I hurt him, Nick said.
Thank god he didnt hurt you, Brian said.
Hes obsessed with her, Frick, he wont stop until he has her, Nick said.
Man, maybe you should move to Kentucky, Brian said.
I want to be by the ocean, man, Nick said.
Then get a place with a security gate, Brian said.
Can you stay here with Brizee and Jason, both of you, Ill go look, Nick said.
AJ, you stay, man, Ill go look for you, Brian said.
Thanks, Frick, Nick said. Brian left. Nick handed Jason to AJ and went upstairs and saw Brizee gone.
Oh no, Nick said. He searched the house. He ran downstairs.
AJ, Brizees gone! Nick said.
What, AJ said.
Shes gone, I searched the house, Nick said.
Oh man, Ill go out and look for her, AJ said. Nick took Jason and AJ left. Nick called Dave.
Dave, its Nick, Brizees missing, I know she didnt leave because she cant walk, I cant find her anywhere, Nick said.
I know, Nick, Adam just confessed that he had someone take Brizee while Adam was busy with you, I got everyone out
looking for her, Dave said.
AJ is looking, too, Nick said.
Well find her, Nick, every cop is looking for her, Dave said.
Please find her, Dave, Nick said.
We will, Nick, we wont give up, Dave said.
Thanks, Dave, Nick said. He hung up and sat down and held his head in his hands. He called Brian.
Two hours later, everyone was over
at Nicks house. Nick sat there holding Jason.
Nick, they will find her, they wont give up, Theresa said.
I could kill Adam, I could, and hes a fucking asshole who wont let go! Nick said angrily.
I know, man, but its not going to get Brizee back, Howie said.
I know! Nick said. He started to cry softly. Kevin
sat down and hugged his little bro. They all prayed that Brizee will be found
and brought home safely.
