Chapter Three-Hundred-Fourteen



Later on in that afternoon, Brian and Riley walked out of the courthouse the both of them wearing smiles on their faces and Riley feeling freer then she’s felt in a long time. The judge had sided with them just as Brian promised he would. He told Chase that it is ridiculous that they even had to go this far just to get him to sign divorce papers for a woman he so obviously doesn’t love anymore. He made Chase sign the papers right there in front of them along with a restraining order and he was told that if he comes anywhere near Riley at all he will be arrested immediately. They walked hand in hand to the car and when they got there he brought her around to her side, gently pressed her back up against the door and he cupped her cheek in his hand before leaning forward and brushing his lips lightly over hers.


“How are you feeling now baby?”


“Free – so free that I could skip the whole wedding deal and elope with you right now if it wouldn’t break your mother’s heart.” Brian chuckled.


“Your mother’s heart as well and I know for a fact that you are looking forward to a big wedding yourself and would regret it when this high you are on settles down.”


“Good thing you know me well and wouldn’t let me do it then huh?” Riley smiled as she slid her arms around his neck and looked up into his eyes.


“Mhm” he told her while sliding his hands down and placing them on her bottom and he lifted her up so she is straddling his hips as her back is still pressed up against the car. He leaned down and placed light kisses on her neck and shoulders and Riley giggled.


“Sex on the beach was nice but I don’t think people would like it very much if we did it here in the parking lot baby.”


“We could tell them all to close their eyes. What they can’t see can’t hurt them” Brian suggested while wriggling his eyebrows and Riley laughed.


“Brian Thomas if your mother heard you saying these things!”


“My mother isn’t here,” he reminded her as he gently pressed her hands to the car window and rested his forehead against hers.


“Okay who are you and what have you done with my fiancée? Did you and AJ wake up in the wrong bodies this morning?”

“Hey I can be just as naughty as he can when I want to be. Just because everybody makes me out to be a male nun or something it doesn’t mean I am.” Riley laughed again and tilted her head back as he had attacked her neck and shoulders with nips and kisses.


“Clearly.” Brian smirked and continued on as if she hadn’t said anything.


“Baby we have to meet the others at the restaurant.”


“They can wait.”


“We’re going to get in trouble – incase you haven’t noticed we’re in the parking lot of a courthouse. Police. Think…” she moaned as he gently nibbled on a sensitive spot in her neck. “About it…” Brian deciding that she is right gently pulled her away from the door – which happens to be the door to the backseat and he opened it up gently lay her on the floor before getting in as well. He shut the door and gently covered her body with his own as he resumed his assault on her neck. Riley tilted her head back and whimpered.


“Brian…we…I…” she stuttered in one more attempt at resisting before sliding her arms around his neck and giving in.

“Where is Scott at Kor?” Ashley asked curiously as she helped Dakota into her Bucs hoodie, tied her shoes for her, and put her hair up in pigtails.


“The moron took off by himself to go shopping” Kori answered while rolling her eyes but it is plain to see that she is worried.


“Why would he do a stupid thing like that? Why didn’t he take a security guard with him?” Ashley wanted to know while looking over at security who just happened to be around as they were all getting ready to go meet Brian and Riley at Texas Roadhouse – Riley’s favorite restaurant.


“Because he is a guy and didn’t want to admit he needed help” Kori answered.


“I tried to insist I go with him but he told me no” Q spoke up.


“And you took no for an answer?”


“He is a grown man sweetie I can’t force him to do anything.” Ashley scowled and she looked at Kori and held her hand out.


“Cell phone please.” Kori handed her phone over to her amusedly and Ashley turned it on and dialed Scott’s number before placing the phone to her ear and waiting for him to answer. After a couple of rings he picked up.


“I’m fine Kor”


“Are you out of your flipping mind???”


“What’s the matter with you?” Scott asked in bewilderment as he knows it’s pretty serious when one is being yelled at by Ashley.


“Your stupidity is what’s the matter with me! What in the world are you thinking going out by yourself? Do you want to get yourself killed?!”


“I’m fine Ash, I know how to take care of myself. I know how to handle these people.”


“You better hope you are fine! Because if anything happens to you and you survive I am going to kick your ass Scott Matthews!” Scott chuckled.


“I’ll be okay sweetie I promise.” Ashley rolled her eyes.


“You are so stupid Scott. I can’t believe you. You and Kori really need to get over this I’m invincible and nothing can touch me attitude because the truth is neither of you are!” She informed him and she hit the off button on the phone tossed it at her sister and she got up and stormed into the Orphanage.


“Oh boy…” Kori sighed. “That can’t all be because he ran off on his own.”


“Ashley has a hard time dealing with the fact that everybody she loves is in just as much danger as she is just because they’re trying to protect her” Nick explained. “And Scott the idiot just jeopardized his life so of course she is having a meltdown.”


“Who’s going to go put her back together again? Should we flip coins?” AJ questioned Nick.


“I’ll do it” Nick insisted. “You finish braiding Sarah’s hair for me” he told him and he handed over his eldest daughter before getting up and going off to find his girlfriend.

“Sean” Trevor spoke as he went underground in the warehouse in search of his lover who had disappeared hours ago and hasn’t returned. He found him sitting on the ground in front of the lake. He has his legs hugged to his chest and he is just staring into it.


“Seanie we’ve been here for hours shouldn’t we head back home now?” Sean shrugged.


“It’s kind of peaceful sitting down here staring into the lake.”


“Well we have a lake at home you know…”


“Yeah I know” Sean replied in a distant far away voice and Trevor went over and placed himself behind him and gently pulled him back so he is leaning against him.


“Why are you so fascinated with water Sean?” he asked after a long while.


“I’ve told you why before.”


“Not really.”


“Sure I have don’t you remember? When we were kids?”


“You described to me how you feel about it but you never told me why.” Sean shrugged.


“We all have our little obsessions.”


“Hmm…” Trevor replied.


“Why don’t we go home and you can cook us lunch?” Sean suggested. “I could really go for your spaghetti right about now.” Trevor rolled his eyes. Swiftly changing the subject with flattery…Sean always did have a knack for that.


“You are lucky I love you and am going to take the bait. One of these days I’ll get a straight answer out of you though, you’ll see.”


“I love you too” Sean replied while resting the back of his head against Trevor’s shoulder and he cupped his cheek in his hand and brushed his lips lightly over his.


“Aww…how sweet” a voice spoke from behind them. Trevor and Sean whipped their heads around then to see two guys standing there with guns in their hands and pointing it at them. “But you are trespassing in our Warehouse so I am going to have to ask you to get lost before we get rid of you ourselves, our way – which we would love to do by the way.”


“It would certainly take care of a lot of people’s problems” the second guy added.


Your Warehouse Clyde? You know damn straight that Sean owns this place” Trevor replied while swiftly moving in front of his lover.


“Yes but he has long since abandoned it hasn’t he?”


“Does it look like he’s abandoned it? Looks to me like he is standing here inside it now claiming it.”


“So this is what the dangerous Sean has come to huh? Having his bitch fight all of his battles for him?”


“Do not press your luck Clyde. I release him and you will be dead in two seconds flat. Think of it as a blessing that I am holding him back.” Trevor threatened and he gently pressed his bottom against Sean’s hand. Sean suddenly felt a lump in Trevor’s back pocket and having the advantage of being blocked by Trevor he was able to look down without being noticed and he spotted two guns – one in each back pocket covered by his shirt. Sean grinning and silently thanking the fact that Trevor is always prepared, he pulled one gun out and managed to place it unseen into Trevor’s hand as it was behind his back. He then got out the other and placed it safely in is own pocket but he kept his hand rested on the handle of it ready to pull it out when he needs it.

Meanwhile when Nick had managed to calm his emotional girlfriend down it was time for them to go meet Brian and Riley at the Restaurant. When they got there they spotted them just pulling into the parking lot too. They all got out of the car and Howie was the first to ask.


“So what’s the verdict? Are we celebrating?”


“Yes we’re celebrating” Riley grinned and AJ chuckled as he looked the couple over and noticed how big Brian is grinning and he remembers that smile from when he found out they did the dirty on the beach.


“Looks like they had a little celebration of their own before they got here.” Brian gave AJ a shut up now before I hit you kind of look as Kori, Ashley, Brooke, and Peyton all hugged Riley and told her congratulations and such. When the girls were finished hogging Riley the four boys started hugging her and such and then when everybody was finished they all went inside, put their names down and were surprisingly seated right away.


“Well that was fast,” Denise commented after they were seated and left alone to look in their menus – the adults at one table and the kids in a booth behind them.


“I called in and put our names down on our way here” Brian informed.


“So what’s the deal with Chase Ri? Was he forced to sign the papers right there in front of you or what?” Brooke questioned as she sat between her and AJ.


“Yeah and not only that but we also had a restraining order put on him too so that he isn’t even allowed to be anywhere near me or call me anymore.”


“That’s great sweetie I’m happy for you” Brooke replied as she draped an arm over her shoulder and Riley smiled happily.


“She is so happy I almost had to stop her from dragging me off to Vegas and eloping the moment we stepped out of the courthouse” Brian teased. Denise laughed.


“No eloping, I need all of my Backstreet Boys here.”


“Why what’s going on Denise?” Kevin asked curiously.


“That’s what I want to talk to you all about. I’m sorry it’s kind of last moment, but I just now got the information myself.”


“It’s okay momma just tell us what it is” AJ told her.


“You’ve been invited to go to Time Square for New Years Eve,” She informed. “You don’t have to go if you don’t want to because it’s last minute but if you do you have to be ready in three days.”


“We’ll go on one condition” Kevin replied and Denise looked at him curiously. “We get our own private airplane – I don’t think I can handle another plane ride with our kids on a public plane.”


“I have to agree with that, sorry Denise. I don’t think we can handle another plane ride with Kevin not being able to handle the kids on a public plane” Nick replied. Denise laughed as Kevin gave Nick a look.


“I’ll see what I can do.”


“Can we leave the puppies here with a caregiver? Please? I think it would be a whole lot easier” Howie spoke up.


“No way hosee” Elenore spoke up from behind them. “Lil’ Rok comes.” Jerald chuckled as Kevin shook his head trying to be serious but he is only amused.


“Hush you, you’re not supposed to be listening in on the grownup’s conversation” Jerald told her gently. Elenore stuck her tongue out at him as his back was turned and she picked up a crayon and started to throw it at the back of his head but reconsidered as she really does not want to go through phase two of earlier that morning.


“Wise decision” Jerald told her while not even looking back at her and she looked at him curiously – surely he isn’t talking about her he cant even see her. Can he?


“And stick your tongue out at me again Ellie and I just might come back there and grab hold of it.” Elenore gaped at him in surprise.


“How is he doing that?” she whispered to Josh and Josh shrugged. Jerald turned around in his booth and looked at her.


“Didn’t anybody ever tell you that all daddies and uncles have eyes in the back of their head?”


“They do not your lyin’” Elenore insisted stubbornly, still refusing to forgive him.


“They do so,” Nick spoke up. “I have five – two in the front and three in the back. I see everything.” Elenore scowled and wanting to prove that her Uncle is lying to her she crawled under the table and over to the other side of the booth where Spencer and Chris are sitting and she crawled up between them so she is behind Jerald. As Jerald was now facing the grownups again she gently moved his hair around in the back searching for a pair of extra eyes. When she didn’t see them she smirked.


“I don’t see any. You were so lyin’!”


“They’re hidden so children can’t see them.”


“Kevy you should puts your mean brother in time out for lyin’.”


“Mean brother? Since when did Jerry become the mean brother?” Brian questioned.


“Since he ignored her during her tantrum,” Kevin answered. “She still hasn’t forgiven him for it.” Elenore scowled at the memory and she flicked Jerald upside the head with her finger.


“OW!”


“If you had eyes in the back of your head you would have seen that’s!” Everybody at the table couldn’t help but laugh and Jerald reached back and gently grabbed her and he playfully pulled her over his shoulder causing her to yelp in surprise. He cradled her in his arms, pulled her shirt up just far enough to see her stomach and he leaned down and began to blow raspberries on her causing her to shriek with laughter.


“Where is Scott at Kori?” Riley asked after watching Uncle and Niece in amusement.


“Out shopping” Kori sighed. “So when are you and Bri going to set a wedding date?” She changed the subject after glancing at her sister and noticing her rest her head against Nick’s shoulder. She knows she is going to worry about him down to the very moment she sees him.



~*~*~*~*~*~



Meanwhile when Scott finished looking around in the mall and having lunch in the food court he left the mall and headed for his car. When he got there he unlocked the door with his key and he got in, closed the door, and started the car before driving off. As he was headed in the direction of the Orphanage he decided he needed some tunes. He reached over and turned the stereo on to see that Fall Out Boy is playing and he chuckled slightly as he suddenly thought of Ashley. He hates it when she is upset or worried and he feels really bad for scaring her but he can’t help but find it funny that she had threatened to kick his ass. It just sounds adorable coming from her because everybody knows that she wouldn’t hurt a fly. Deep into thought of the girl he loves almost as much as Kori he didn’t notice the figure behind him in the rear view mirror. He didn’t notice until the figure placed a gun to his forehead and he heard a click and his entire body froze.


“Drive,” the figure ordered. “Act like everything is normal or I’ll blow your brains out. Got it?” Scott nodded and a single tear rolled down his cheek as he suddenly thought of Kori and Spencer. God please don’t take me away from Spencer he silently prayed. And Kori…the love of his life, Kori. The only woman he swore to himself he would ever love. He was going to win her back. He was going to make sure she knows he loves her. He can’t go now, he just can’t. Scott glanced through the rear view mirror and just as he suspected, his captor is someone he knows. Someone he betrayed to Detective Stabler. If by some miracle he makes it out of this alive he is definitely going to be in a lot of pain.


“Where am I going Bobby?” He managed to choke out.


“Shut up! Just drive I will tell you when to stop.” Scott drove for ten minutes before Bobby finally spoke up again and when he did he pressed the gun into Scott’s head.


“Turn into that ally there.” Scott did as he was told and when he turned into it he realized it was a dead end and that it isn’t just the two of them. There are three other guys standing there waiting on them. Ben, Cody, and Eli…he recognizes them all. Eli walked over to the car and opened Scott’s door.


“Hello Scott long time no see. How is the child and girlfriend doing?”


“None of your damn business” Scott told him through clenched teeth.


“No need to get bitchy with me. If you want to make it home to them alive you’ll behave” Eli informed as he grabbed hold of Scott, yanked him out of the car and placed his gun to his head while Bobby got out. Scott kneed Eli where it counts then and took off for the exit to the ally but Cody who had seen that coming came out of nowhere from on the other side of the car and Scott ran right into him. Cody shoved him hard so he flew back into a few garbage cans and they were all on him in a second beating him, punching him, and kicking him and Scott tried his hardest to fight back, but there is just too many of them.

“TREVOR NO!!!!!!!! LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!” Sean roared when he heard the gunfire go off and noticed it was Clyde’s and he was aiming it toward his lover. The four of them had been fighting with one another and Clyde was down and Sean thought for good but he managed one last attempt at fighting and it was toward his baby. Reacting on impulse and the need to save him Sean dove across the room as fast as he could. Trevor who was in the middle of fighting with Derek the other guy (with his gun clear across the room where it got knocked to) had his back turned but he turned around and noticed the bullet coming and Sean coming as well. Before he even had the time to react Sean slammed into him sending them both flying onto the floor, the bullet just grazing Trevor’s arm as it went past. When Sean realized they were safe he turned around and pointed his gun at Derek, shot him in the chest sending him flying into the water and he turned around and shot Clyde three times. One for accusing him of letting Trevor fight his battles, the second one for trying to steal his warehouse, and the third one – right in the heart for trying to shoot his Trevor. Trevor is his whole heart and anyone who tries to take that away deserves to have their heart taken away. That’s the way Sean sees it. He dropped the gun then and looked at Trevor and he gently cradled his face in his hands.


“Are you okay baby? You are bleeding…”


“I’m fine thanks to you…it was just grazed the bullet just tore some skin that’s all. I’m going to live. Take me home and I will walk you through fixing me up okay?” Sean nodded and he stood up before helping Trevor up as well and Trevor slid his arms around Sean and rested his head against his shoulder.


“What about the bodies?” Sean wanted to know. “We can’t just leave them lying there.”


“Push them in the water for now. No one will miss them they don’t have families. We’ll take care of them later.” Sean did just that and when both bodies were lying at the bottom of the lake he resumed his position next to Trevor. Trevor once again wrapped his arms around Sean and rested his head against his shoulder and Sean took him upstairs to their car.
