Gray came back to school. He called Cole so many times but could not reach him. So, he drove back as fast as he could. Even after reaching school he could not connect him. He went to the school administration office.
Gray could not see Cole anywhere, he began to panick a lot. He went to the staff member who keeps record of all the students.
"Excuse me, did Cole leave the office after the work?
"Cole? Why would Cole come to the office?"
"The school administration team called him for some form formalities or something. Why wouldn't he be here?", Gray asked again.
"We did not call him or anyone.", the staff replied.
"But he received a call from the office number.", Gray was really losing it now.
"Maybe someone prank called him when no one was around."
Gray dialed Cole's number again. The same message repeated, 'The number you have dialed is currently switched off, please try again after sometime.'
He wanted to crash his phone as he felt desperate to find Cole. His mind was filled with all the negative thoughts. It all made him lose his control over himself.
He went to the staff again.
"Ca..can I see the CCTV footage?", Gray's palms were sweating.
"No, students are not allowed..."
"I WANT TO SEE THE CCTV FOOTAGE. YOU EITHER SHOW ME EASY WAY OR I SHOULD TRY TO SEE IT MYSELF.", Gray grabs his collar.
The staff gets a bit scared.
"Okay, but do it fast. I do not want to risk my job.", the staff member said as he fixed his collar.
Gray looks over the CCTV footage. He worried expression changed to a dark one when he sees David's man making a phone call from the office around the time when Cole got the call from the school administration.
Gray had his fist clenched. He dialed Ava and took the friends in conference call.
"Guys. Cole...", Gray's voice was breaking up as he spoke.
"What happened?", Allen asked worried on listening to Gray's voice.
"Cole. Cole... he is gone.. David took him. I don't know what to do. How could I let him....", Gray breaks down.
Gray is a strong guy. He has one of the strongest personalities but, when it comes to Cole, he is weak, he could not hold in any longer.
"Gray, Gray calm down. Come to the base house. We will find him.", Allen tried to console Gray.
Ava was stunned. She started pacing back and forth in the hall waiting for Olivia and Gray to reach.
.
..
Gray and Olivia arrive at the base house. Gray was looking devastated. They all sat down in the center hall.
"Tell us, what happened and how did it happen from the starting?", Ava said calmly as she did not want others to get worried.
Gray and Olivia recite the whole event. Both had tears in their eyes.
"It is all my fault. I should not have left him alone.", Gray cried as he held his head. Allen hugs him to calm him down.
"It is not your fault alright. Calm down, we will get him back. We always do, don't we? We need you to stay strong."
Cole is the youngest in the gang, so he was loved the most by everyone. He is like an eye candy for all.

David's car stopped in front of his home. Before getting Cole out of the car, David instructs his men to blindfold Cole.
They brought him out of the car. He pushed away the guards holding him and tried to remove the blindfolds and duct tape.
David grabs his arms tightly which made Cole flinch in pain.
"Don't make me harm you. I am trying to be really patient with you. Don't try me", David warns in s firm voice.
His men drag Cole inside. Cole could not see where they were taking him. He wanted to run away but, he knows that he can't defeat them alone.
Finally they stopped somewhere. Cole was made to sit on the chair. They untied his hands, he was about to fight again when he felt a gun being pointed at his head. He did not move. The guards just untied his hands just to tie them securely on the chair.
David asked the others to leave. Now, he was alone with Cole. He removed the blindfolds from Cole's eyes.
"Cole, I told you to wait. I told you that I will get to you soon. Now, I found you.", David sniffs Cole which makes Cole feel disgusted. He moved his head back.
"Ah, you still are not accepting the situation. You are in my hands now, finally.", David said as he pulls a chair and sits in front of Cole.
"You know how long I had to wait to get back to you. You escaped last time but this time you won't be able to.", David puts his one arm of Cole's thigh, Cole starts resisting his touch as it made him feel sick inside, which makes David angry.
"Why? Why do you always do this? You already know how much I love you. How much I want you to be mine. STILL, YOU DON'T ACCEPT ME.", David shouts. He stood up and went near Cole.
"You really don't understand, do you?"
Cole muffles as he tries to talk.
"Oh, how forgetful of me. My baby wants to talk."
David lowers down his head to the level of Cole's face. Cole moved his head back.
Suddenly David grabs his head and kisses his lips over the duct tape before removing it. This brings tears to Cole's eyes which he had been holding all this time.
"LET ME GO. I HATE YOU. WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE.", Cole screamed at the top of his voice.
"Hush, Hush, Hush.. you don't have to shout. The room is sound proof, no one can hear you anyway.", David smiles.
"Just leave me alone or I will kill you. You fuc..."
David closes Cole's mouth with his hand.
" Shhshh, my baby seems to be too angry with me. You know, you should not use abusive words for your lover.", David went near Cole's ear as he said this.
Cole bites David's hand.
"SHUT UP. Lover? Who the fuck do you think you are? You are going to regret this."
David holds Cole's jaw tightly.
"I told you not to try me. You can't even get that right in your head. You think Gray is all that great, that Gray will be your saviour and rescue you. Well, you are wrong.", David slapped Cole's face. Tears start rolling down Cole's eyes.
"He can't save you. No one can. You are supposed to be mine. You were always supposed to be mine.", David goes near Cole's face and licks Cole's cheek.
Cole started crying.
"You really want to see what I can do? I did not get to finish last time but this time I will do it.", David said as he let go of Cole's face.
