***present day he's talking to Emile and Virgil***

"So wait..." Virgil looked at Remy in shock. "Linus, helped you escape? Linus of all people?" Remy shrugged.

"Yeah, I thought that was weird too. I honestly thought he was fucking faking the entire time." Remy looked at his hands. "He didn't actually want to hurt me but because he was still stuck with Ronald of fucking course he had to. He's still an absolute asshole though."

"Remy, you don't have to continue talking about this." Emile grabbed his hand. Remy squeezed it and smiled.

"You wanted to know what happened didn't you?" He asked.

"Yes, but I don't want you to think you absolutely have to talk about your trauma with me." Emile chuckled. "I'm not your therapist, I'm your boyfriend." Remy leaned forward and kissed Emile.

"You deserve to know." They both looked at Virgil who laughed a bit.

"Alright, so let's continue the story then shall we?"

***two months before his escape***

"I really don't trust you." Remy mumbled as he watched Linus playing on his phone.

"Dude, I haven't touched you. Doesn't that make you feel even slightly better that I won't?" Remy shook his head.

"I refuse to trust you right now after all you've done." Linus put the phone down and leaned forward looking at Remy.

"I'm going to slap you I swear to god." Linus threw his phone at Remy. "See you bitch." He walked out and Remy looked at the phone. He opened up the messages to see he was talking to Remus and his eyes widened, REMUS WAS IN ON THIS!?

"Fuck..." he looked through the messages and found out Remus was trying to find him. He smiled a bit. He looked at the door. Why did Linus...oh! Remy quickly called Remus as tears filled his eyes. "R-Remus?"

"Oh my god! Why do you have his phone!? How-Oh my god! Logan come here!" Remy heard rustling and then someone took the phone from Remus.

"Remus!? Why did you tell me you had his number we can catch this ass and bring Remy home!" Remy rolled his eyes.

"I'm fine cupcake." Remy laughed as he heard more yelling in the background. "Wouldn't want you to bring attention to yourself, I'm sure Remus didn't tell you for a reason."

"No, he clearly just wasn't fucking thinking." Logan sighed. "Are you injured? Where are you do you know?"

"I don't know that information I kind of pissed off a bunch of people and so I've been in isolation for a month now..." Remy sat on the bed looking at his feet. "Promise me you won't go to the police with this Logan? Let Remus get the help from Linus and find me that way. I don't want you to risk them finding virgil and taking him away. They may seem like empty threats but I'm sure they will find him..."

"Fine." Logan grumbled. "But I'm going to help find you and bring you home." Remy heard shuffling and Remus had snatched the phone back.

"We will find you. Linus has been sending me locations like fucking crazy I know soon we will have you back...Virgil's been comforting that therapist you knew? I don't know but we will find you and I promise when we do they will all go away for life Remy."

"Alright, better keep that promise." Remy looked at the door then wiped tears from his eyes. "Can you not tell Virgil you had contact with me? I-I think it'll break him if you two don't search for me after hearing my voice. He would have demanded you be tracking this call." Remy wiped even more tears from his eyes. "I don't know how you two put up with the kid he's a little demon."

"I wont tell him. Promise."

***present day***

"Yeahhhh you know he didn't hide his phone very well." Virgil smirked. "I knew Linus was kind of helping? But I still don't trust the dude."

"Yeah, neither do I." Emile grumbled.

"I never said I did either." Remy rolled his eyes. "I'm just glad he helped me escape, but I definitely do not trust him. Even after his stupid blubbering story about how he was kidnapped and forced into this."

"Well...did you notice any specific bonds between the two of them?" Emile asked. "Maybe Linus was emotionally connected to this man"

"Linus hated the dude." Remy looked at his hands. "So that's why I can't figure this out."

"Why don't you..." Virgil sighed. "I know you definitely don't want to...but why don't you go to prison and talk to him?" Remy looked up.

"That's a good idea actually. I'm going to go to the prison and ask myself." Remy stood. "Coming?" He asked the two. They nodded.

"Definitely, we aren't leaving you alone anymore."
