I stood and started pacing around the room, thinking about how to go about getting my wife back. I wasn't going to spend another minute without her and Drew was most likely never going to see another day. He had gone too far this time.
Brooke was my best friend, my wife, my everything. And that stupid cocksucker had not only taken her but also my unborn children. I loved my friends and my band, but I had loved Brooke over half of my life and if I lost her now...I didn't know what I would do or what I would become. She was the best part of me. I had to get her back and I would get her back.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and I saw that it was Brian. "Come on, dude," he said. "We'll take you home."
Johnny agreed with him. "Yeah. Let the police handle this one."
I shook my head. "Over my dead body. Look, Officer Hicks has to wait for a warrant and that could take over two hours. I don't have that long. I need Brooke back NOW."
"They will find her, Jimmy," Matt said. "You can't just go and bust into Drew's house. That breaking and entering and then YOU would go to jail."
"I don't care," I said heading for the door but Matt stood in front of me, blocking my exit.
"Will you just fucking stop and think for a second," Matt nearly yelled. "We love her too, you know. And none of us want to see her or those babies hurt but you have to let the police do their jobs. You may just have to sit this one out, Jimmy."
Somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew that he was right but my heart was breaking and it hurt to much to just let somebody else take care of this for me. This was my family and they just wanted me to put it in the hands of somebody else? That's not who I was. I took care of those I loved and right now, Brooke needed me more than she needed the police.
All of the anger was finally near the boiling point and I yelled out and pushed Matt backwards, making him stumble. He may be a very muscular man, but I had caught him off guard and right now, I could bust through a wall.
"Brooke is my wife, Matthew Charles Sanders!," I screamed out. "I have to go get her! And if you don't want to come with me that's fine; I'll do it on my own. BUT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO STOP ME!"
I had yelled before, but never at any of my friends. This had all four of them shocked into silence. None of them moved for a moment but then Zack was the first to do anything. He came up beside Matt, who was staring at me with a shocked expression, and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Come on, man," Zack said. "Back down just this once. Jimmy's right. We have to go get her."
I looked at him with wide eyes. "We?" I asked.
Brian answered for him. "Of course. You didn't think we'd let you go by yourself did you?"
"Brooke is our family too," Johnny added. "We'll help."
We all turned to Matt, waiting for his input. He was staring down at his wedding band on his left hand and when he looked up at me again, there was great anger that nearly matched mine in his eyes.
"If somebody had touched Val, I wouldn't hesitate to kill them," he said. "And Brooke is my family. I don't know why I wanted to stop you, but you're right. She needs us and mostly you. So let's go kick some scrawny lawyer ass for messing with the Avenged Sevenfold family!"
I nodded once before moving around Matt and opening the door behind him. The waiting room we were in was at the end of a long hallway right off the front lobby of the police station. We all filed out of the room and mad our way down the hall and towards the front door when we were stopped by Officer Hicks.
We were almost at the door when I heard him call my name, making all of us turn to face him. He looked between each of us and finally his old eyes stopped on me.
"Going home?" he asked and I nodded. "Good. You go home and rest. I'm in the middle of getting a warrant to search Drew Carter's house but that's going to take a while. But don't worry. I'll get Brooke back to you soon. I promise."
He turned around and headed for the back. Me and the guys shared a look before we went out the door and went straight for Brian's car which we had all ridden in. Zack stood across from me on the other side of the car while we were waiting for the doors r=to be unlocked and he matched my gaze.
"You lied to an Officer, Jimmy," he said. "To his face. You said you were going home."
I shrugged. "It's not the first time I've lied to that man," i said getting in the car. "Now come on, let's go get my wife back."
We all piled into the car with me in the front seat and Brian driving. Usually, it would take thirty minutes or so to get to Drew's house, but Brian was driving and he was just as pissed as I was. So the trip only took ten minutes.
It was almost eleven at night when we pulled up to Drew's two story town house and I was out of the car before it came to a complete stop. I hadn't even waited for the others while I was running for the front door. I could see a van in the driveway that I immediatley recognized from the surveillance camera as the one that had stolen Brooke.
Once at the door, I heard talking coming from the other side so I pressed my ear against the wood and listened to them talking. I instantly recognized Drew's voice and another man's. It seemed like they were right on the other side because I could hear them so clearly.
"Why are you so late, you giant dumbass?" I heard Drew say.
"I forgot you needed me," the other man said.
Drew scoffed. "Forgot?! Only my brother could forget something this important!"
By now, the other guys had joined me and I had motioned for them to be quiet as I was listening in on the two brothers.
"It's not important to me," Drew's brother said. "Why should I care if that stupid bitch gets moved. I just want the money."
I heard Drew sigh. "Will you just go get her please? And be gentle. She is pregnant with my children after all."
At that, I straightened up and was about to kick the door down when it opened and I was face to face with my wife's kidnapper. The other man wasn't in the room so he must already be gone to get Brooke.
Drew stared at me in shock. "J-Jimmy? What are y-you d-d-doing here?" he stammered.
I stepped into the house followed by my friends and we surrounded Drew. "You know exactly why I'm here, you fucking son of a nasty bitch." I turned to Zack and Johnny. "You two, go look for Brooke. I think she's
upstairs but be careful, Drew's brother is taking her."
They both nodded and ran for the stairs. I brought my attention back to Drew, who's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of his head.
"Brooke? Here?" he said trying to back away. "Why would she be here?"
I rolled my eyes then brought my arm back and punched him as hard as I could which sent him almost flying back into the wall. I lost it. "You stole my wife!" I yelled as I knelt over him And started throwing punches. "You took..her...away...from me!" I was now yelling in between punches and I heard bones crunching but I didn't care. Rage was powering my arms and I was nowhere near done.
Suddenly, I was being pulled off of him. "Noo!" I cried out, trying to break free. I was gong to kill him. Drew was not going to live through this."
"Stop!" Brian yelled in my ear. "That's enough, Jimmy! He's unconscious and if you go anymore you're going to kill him."
I shook my head, but I had stopped struggling. "That's what I want. He doesn't deserve to live!"
Matt stood in front of me with sad eyes. "Listen to yourself, James. Are you really the kind of person to kill? Brooke needs you and how do you think it's going to be if you go to prison?"
"He's right you know," we heard from behind us and all three of us turned to the person in the doorway.
"Officer Hicks?" I said in disbelief.
He nodded as he came around me to the now unconscious Drew and checked his pulse. "He's still alive. Good for you."
"Wait, how did you know we'd be here?" Brian asked.
Officer Hicks looked up at us. "Oh come on. I've known you boys almost your whole lives. I know when I'm being lied to and I know that none of you would leave Brooke behind. So I followed you."
Before we could answer, Johnny came running down the stairs with a cut on his forehead and holding his arm. "Jimmy!" he called which made us all look up. "We got the big guy. It took us a little bit but Zack knocked him out with a baseball bat he found and we then tied him up. He's in one of the bedrooms"
"Did you find Brooke?" I asked.
Johnny nodded. "Yeah. And she's awake and wants you really badly."
I looked down at Officer Hicks who smiled at me. "Well, go on then. Go get her. I've got this here and I've already called an ambulance."
Just as we were headed up the stairs, I heard a loud and shrill "JIMMYYYYY!!!" come from upstairs and I didn't hesitate to bust into that room. I found Brooke on a queen-sized bed and judging by the ropes laying beside her, Zack had untied her. I ran to her and pulled her to my chest.
"Brooke! Oh my God, Brookie. My Duckie, you're safe now," I said with tears running down my face. I was so happy I couldn't contain it. My brooke was in my arms again.
We were both crying as I held her and then all of a sudden she groaned out in pain and i looked down at her.
Brooke gave me a half-smile. "Jimmy, it's time. The babies are coming."
