Brotherly Love - Chapter 84 Part 3/4

Once Adam left in the ambulance with Kris, Tommy drove back to Conway and the party.  "The party, shit", he said to himself.  He called Danielle.

"Tommy, where are you?  Where are Adam and Kris?"  She was yelling, because people had begun arriving and they had music playing loudly.

"Um babe, I'm on my way, ok?  I'll explain when I get there."

He hung up, not really knowing what to tell her.  Should they cancel the party?  He wasn't really in the mood any longer, although he could use a beer after the night he'd had so far.  Then he thought of Adam and Kris.  Would they want him to?

He texted Adam, not really expecting an answer, but a few minutes later, his phone buzzed.

'Kris is OK.  Have fun at the party.  I'm staying here. Sorry'

‘God Adam, don't be sorry, I should just cancel it.'

'No, don't.  Please.’

'K. Don't feel right about it though.'

'Thanks.'

Tommy drove back towards Conway and the storage until which was on the outskirts, about fifty minutes away.

When he pulled up, there were a lot of people and cars.  Danielle ran over to him.  "What's going on?"

"Come on, I'll tell you everything", and he led her outside, away from the growing crowd.

Tommy told her what he knew, which wasn't much other than Adam getting the text in the car and then finding Kris at Bryson’s apartment.

"Who's Des?"

"A friend of Kris's."

"Some friend."

"Yeah, this guy, Bryson; I don't know who he is, but apparently he had Des drug Kris and then he drove them to his house and was about to, uh, rape him?"

"Oh my God", Danielle had her hand over her mouth in shock.  "Poor Kris.  He's really lucky that you two found him."

"Yeah, I can't even think about what he would have done with Kris afterwards, you know?  I just can't imagine anyone wanting to hurt him like that."

Danielle knew who Bryson was.  Adam had told her everything about his past, and he told her about seeing him again at the wedding.  She had a pretty good idea what he was really after, but thought that was Adam's story to tell if he wanted to.

"I have so many questions", Tommy shook his head.

"Adam will tell us what he wants us to know, baby", Danielle reassured him.  "We should get back to the party."

"I don't really feel like it", he shrugged.  "We can't play without them."

"Leave it to me, alright?"

Tommy followed Danielle back to the party and watched her walk to the stage area and grab the mic. "Hey everyone!  Happy New Year", she shouted.

After a round of 'Happy New Year's', Danielle continued.  "Small change of plans.  Adam and Kris had a family emergency and will not be able to attend tonight."

She let the crowd quiet down before continuing.  "The party will go on, however.  We have lots of music and food, so you're welcome to stay.  Thanks."  She hopped down and found Tommy again.  "Well this way, people can go somewhere else if they want to.  I feel so bad for Adam.  I feel like going to the hospital."

Tommy agreed with her.  They found Isaac and told him a little more of the story, but not much.  He and Cam would stay and let the party continue.

Tommy and Danielle drove off back towards Little Rock Memorial.  There wasn't too much traffic, so they made fairly good time.  Danielle texted Adam that they were coming, 'No arguments'.

He wouldn't dare argue with her. 

'Thanks.'

They had finally moved Kris into a room and the family was gathered around Kris's bed.  The nurse had brought in a few chairs, but Adam sat on the bed with Kris and held his hand the entire time, kissing his cheek, talking to him.

The police had come by to ask Adam some questions.  He went out into the hallway and Pam followed. She wanted to know what had happened, too.

"When did you realize that Kris was missing?"  The officer asked.

"We were having a New Years Eve party tonight and Kris was going to pick up his friend, Desmond and meet me there.  I got a text from Des saying that they were with Bryson Jackson in his car and that he'd drugged Kris."

"Who drugged Kris?"

"I think it was Desmond, but I'm not sure."

"And then you found them at Mr. Jackson's apartment?"

"Yeah, Des only told me where they were going.  I had to call Amanda and get his address."

“How do you know Mr. Jackson?"  Adam looked at his mom and then back at the police officer.  He didn't want to dig any of this up, and he needed to tell them everything that he could to help Kris.

“I was in a foster group home with him when I was fifteen, before living with my family, the Martins."

The cop was taking notes as Adam spoke.

"How did he know Kris?"

"I don't think he did.  Oh wait, he met Kris at our social worker's wedding last year, but that's all."

"And how does Kris know Desmond Holburn?"

Adam never knew the guys last name.  "Uh school."

"And they are friends?"

"Yeah, he was new this year and made friends with Kris."

He looked up at that.  "I'll have some questions for Kris when he wakes up.  Could you please call me tomorrow?"  He handed Pam his business card with his private number.

"Yes, of course, officer."

"Just a couple of more questions, Adam.  How did you get inside of Mr. Jackson’s apartment?"

Adam looked at his mom again, "Uh, I broke a window.  Am I in trouble?"

"No, of course not.  It's lucky for Kris that you did."

Adam nodded.

"We have Desmond and his social worker along with Ms. Hutchinson at the station getting their statements.  I would like both of you to come down to the station tomorrow as well."

"Did you find Bryson?"

"Yes."

Both Pam and Adam sighed in relief. 

The officer thanked them for their cooperation and Pam promised to call him in the morning when Kris was awake.  Then they went back to Kris's room.

“Adam”, Pam looked at his arms, “I didn’t notice this before, but you are cut.”

“Oh, right”, Adam remembered.  “I crawled through the window and got scraped.”

“Yeah, well that looks like more than just a scrape.  I’m calling in the nurse to look at you.”

“Mom, I don’t want to leave him.”

“And I don’t want you getting an infection.”

The nurse came in and took a look at Adam’s arms.

“I can bring in some antiseptic, unless you want to have him checked out.  In that case, you’d have to go to the emergency room”, she said, apologetically.

“No emergency room”, Adam was defiant.

“No, that’s fine.  Thank you”.

The nurse came back with some first aid supplies for Pam and she made Adam sit down so she could clean up his wounds.  “Thanks, mom.”

The detective came into the holding room and introduced himself to Desmond and the two social workers.  Leslie made a point of telling him that Des was her charge.  He nodded and directed his attention to Amanda first.

“Ma’am, I understand that you were the social worker for Mr. Jackson and that he works in your office.”

“Yes, sir; I am.”

“And how do you know Desmond?”

“Desmond is my charge”, Leslie interrupted.

“Yes, I’m aware of that.  Ms. Hutchingson?”

“I didn’t before tonight.  I know the victim and his foster family because I am also the social worker for Adam Lambert.”

“And he’s the one who called you?”

“Yes, Adam called me this evening saying that he needed Bryson Jackson’s address because he had drugged Kris and taken him to his apartment.”

“And how did he know that?”

“Desmond here”, she smiled down at the scared boy, “texted Adam from Kris’s cell phone while he was in the back seat without Bryson’s knowledge.”

“And you are the one who called the police?”

“Yes, I called them and drove to the apartment as well.  We all arrived minutes after Adam, I believe.”

“So, the door was opened when you arrived?”

“No, but the window had been broken and Adam was already inside.”

“Was Bryson there?”

“No sir, by the time we got upstairs and found Kris, Bryson had escaped though his bedroom window.”

“Alright.  I think that’s all the questions that I have for you, Ms. Hutchinson.”  Then he directed his attention to young man.  “Desmond?”

“Yesss ssir”, he was trembling.

“I have some questions for you.  Would you like Ms. Hutchinson to stay?”

He nodded, “Please”

“If that is alright with you, Ms. Peril.”

Leslie huffed, but agreed.  However she walked over to Des and took his hand, staking her claim on the child.

“Desmond, how do you know Mr. Jackson?”

Des took a deep breath, “I’m in a foster group home, sir.  He comes over to mentor some of the kids.”

“I see.  Were you friends?”

“No.  He made me do stuff.”

Both social workers looked in horror at each other.

“What do you mean, stuff?  Were you sexually abused by Mr. Jackson?”

“Oh shit, no.  I mean he made me become friends with Kris and then he made me give him the drugs.  He was always telling me what to do.”

“Has he ever given you drugs?”

“Uh…”

“Des, it’s ok.  You need to tell them everything.”

Desmond told the officer how Bryson used to come over and get him high and then gave him some stash.  Then he started threatening to turn him in if he didn’t help him.

“So, he wanted you to get close to Kris, just so he could do this to him?”  The officer knew that wouldn’t hold up in any court, but he really wanted to know.

“He never told me why, but he wanted me to get Kris alone and high.”

“And you didn’t think that was strange?”

“Yeah, but every time I asked him questions, he’d tell me it was none of my business. “

“Ok, tell me about tonight.”

Des told him everything.  How Bryson told him to convince Kris to come to his house for dinner, and then putting the Rufi in his soda.  And then Bryson showing up and dragging Kris out to his car and driving them both to his house.

“How did you get the victims cell phone?”

Des winced, “His name is Kris.”

“Kris, how did you get his phone?”

“After Kris started to pass out, I realized just what I had done.  I quickly grabbed his phone when Bryson wasn’t looking.  He had no idea that I had it. I knew that I had to tell Adam.”

“What happened when you got to his apartment?”

“He made me help him get Kris upstairs and we laid him on his bed.  Then Bryson grabbed my arm and took my cell phone and locked me in his bathroom.”

“So he was alone with the vic… I mean Kris.”

“Yeah, I tried breaking the door down and he yelled and threatened me again. “

“Uh huh, and when did Mr. Lambert arrive?” 

“He texted me when he got here, asking how to get inside.  It was locked.”

“And what did you tell him.”

“Well, I didn’t know what Bryson was doing, but whatever it was, it couldn’t be good.  So, I told Adam to start making noise to distract him.”

“That was good advice.  And then?”

“Then I finally busted the door down and I ran into the room and saw Kris lying on the bed, naked.  Adam crashed through the window and came in right after me.  Bryson must have heard all of the noise and stuff and took off.”

“Ok, I think that’s all I need for now.  But, I may need to bring you back.  If Mr. Jackson was giving you drugs that could be a whole other charge.”

“You mean, he could go to jail?”

“Yes, I hope so.  We have to make sure that your story collaborates with the other witnesses, and also Bryson Jackson’s, but I have high hopes that we can bring him to justice.”

“You found him?”  Amanda asked.

“Yes, he had gone back to his apartment and was coming out the front door when the police caught up to him.”

“Well that’s good.  I’ll tell Adam.”

“We’ll need Adam and the other kid who was with him to come in for questioning also.  And Kris, of course.”

“Of course.”

“Well, I’ll take Desmond back to his group home now”, Leslie said smugly.

“Actually, I promised Des that I’d bring him to the hospital to check on Kris and talk to Adam.”

“I don’t know if that’s a good idea.”

“Please?”  Des looked pleadingly at Amanda.

Leslie pursed her lips together. 

“I was hoping that you would join us, Leslie.  Stay outside with Desmond until I have a chance to talk to Adam.”

“Oh, I see...  Well, alright.”

The three of them got into Amanda’s car and drove to the hospital.

Tommy drove as fast as he could, towards the hospital in Little Rock.  They parked and ran inside, asking for directions to the room that Adam had texted Danielle.

They found them a few minutes later.  “Adam”, Danielle ran over to him and gave him a big hug.  “I’m so sorry, baby.”

“Thanks for coming, guys.”

“We’ll leave you alone for while”, Pam addressed the group.  “I need some coffee.”

“How is he?”

“Sleeping.  They said that he’ll be out of it for at least eight hours after taking it.  It’s been about five or six so far, so…”

“How does Bryson know Desmond?”  Danielle asked.

“I don’t know.  I have so many questions.  I was hoping that Amanda would come, but she’s probably still with the police.”

The three friends talked about the events of the evening.  Adam told Danielle what he knew, which wasn’t much more than Tommy.  Tommy did ask about Bryson and Adam told him, without all of the gory details.  Then Adam asked about the Party.  “Did you cancel it?”

“No, it’s still going on.  But we wanted to be with you.”

“Thanks, I really mean that.”

Pam and the rest of the family came back a little while later and then there was a knock on the door.  They all turned their heads to see who it was.

Adam jumped up, “Amanda!”  He ran over and hugged his friend. 

“We need to talk, Adam.”
