*Caleb POV*
We go back over to the others and Dusty faces us.
"Ok Dustin we have a proposition to make" Chad says
"What" Dustin asks
"Well Chad isn't able to adopt another because of his cancer but what if I adopt you? We all live in a house together so you'd be with Lilly" I say
"Really you'd do that" Dustin asks
"Of course. I don't want you two to get split up again" I say
"Thanks. What time is it" Dustin asks
"About midnight" I say
"Crap miss Hillary is going to kill me for being late" he says
"She can't kill you if you're getting adopted" I say
"Yeah but adoptions are in the morning" Dustin says
"How about we take you there and I'll go in with you to talk to her" I say
"It's actually right down the road so we could walk" Dustin says
"Chad you okay if I take about a half hour to go do this" I ask
"Go ahead Caleb. We'll be in the van" Chad says
Chad takes Lilly from Dustin and we go outside. We head down the road to the orphanage. We get there and go inside. As soon as we get in we hear footsteps.
"Dustin Brody Smith where the heck were you? I told you no leaving the orphanage after 7" the lady says
"And miss Hillary I always told you I leave at 6:59" Dustin says
"And who are you" miss Hillary asks
"I'm Caleb Grimm from anthem lights. I would like to adopt Dustin please ma'am" I say
"Oh good take him. Just a warning he sneaks out. Every night." Miss Hillary says
"I will deal with it ma'am" I say
We go to her office and I sign papers. Once done Dustin goes upstairs then comes down a little later with a small backpack and a guitar case. We head outside and start walking back.
"Ok let me hear it. Why would you sneak out at night" I ask
"At age 16 in one of the oldest here. I mean there might be two or three 18 year olds but whatever. I leave every night and go down to this little diner where I play my guitar and sing. I leave my guitar case open and people drop money in. Then I help the owners clean up and they give me a free meal because I usually don't get to eat at the orphanage because I was always forgotten by miss Hillary. But the money I got I would use for the kids if they needed stuff." He says
"Ok and what about the 18 year olds" I ask
"They might've been in there since four months but they thought it was cool to use me as a punching bag." He says
We get back to the venue and we put his guitar in the back then we get in. Joey starts the van and drives home. We get home and go inside.
"Ok so Dustin there isn't a room you can sleep in yet so for tonight you have to sleep on the couch" I say
"That's fine. It's probably comfier than the bed at the orphanage" Dustin says
"Dusty can sleep with me" Lilly says
"You sure" Dustin asks
"Yeah. I get lonely" Lilly says
"Ok Dustin says
Joey, Spencer, Dustin, Lilly, and the other two kids go upstairs. A little bit later Joey and Spencer come back down.
"What have we gotten ourselves into" Spencer asks
"We start with one little girl and end up with four kids" Joey says
"Hey we're making a big difference in their lives though" I say
"Caleb's right. God is using us in an awesome way" Chad says
"We should get together with Alan soon" Joey says
"He's filming a movie at the moment he gets back next month" I say
"aren't Lilly and Presley both four" Spencer asks
"Yeah. They're four. AJ is six Rowe is three the two little boys are one and Dustin is 16" Chad says
We continue talking then there's a knock at the door. Joey answers it and comes back with Donny and Yuna walk in.
"Hey what's up" I ask
"Well first of all we got engaged" Donny says
"Congrats bro" Joey says
"Second of all Spence I got a text from Destiny. All it said was help did you get a text from her" Yuna asks
Spencer checks his phones and puts it away and stands up.
"What" I ask
"She sent me help I'm stuck." Spencer says
"I'll stay here with the kids. Joe you can either stay or go. The rest of you go" Chad says
"You sure you can handle them" Joey asks
"I'll be fine" he says
We all put shoes on and get in a van. I start driving.
"Spence are you able to track her" I ask
"No her phone was turned off" he says
"Can you get her last location" I ask
He finds it and gives it to me. I put it in the gps and start following directions. We get to the place and it's a hotel. We go inside and up to the front desk.
"Have you seen this woman at all" Spencer asks showing a picture of destiny.
"Yes she was here with a man." The lady says
"Do you happen to know what room they are in" I ask
"They just checked out and left like an hour ago" she says
"What room were they staying in" Spencer asks
"Why do you need to know" the lady asks
"That woman is my girlfriend and that guy kidnapped her" Spencer snaps
"Ok ok here's the key. The room is 504" the lady says
We thank her and run up the stairs we get to the fifth floor and go to 504. Spencer opens the door and we go inside. We look around and I find her phone.
"Spencer her phones right here" I say
He runs over to me and takes her phone. He unlocks it and looks at her last texts and calls.
"Is there anything" Donald asks
"Nothing in the texts but there's a call from a number I don't recognize" Spencer says
Yuna takes the phone and looks at it.
"I don't recognize that number either. And all the numbers that call her have an ID with them." Yuna says
"What do we do now?" Spencer yells
"First off Spencer you need to calm down. Second off we just need to go home and sleep. We will figure this all out tomorrow after we have all slept and not tired" I say
"Caleb we can't stop searching." Spencer says
"Spence its 2:30 am. You've been up since 8:30 am. Caleb is right. We all need sleep to be fully functional to look for Destiny. We'll stop at the police station on the way home and tell them about this" Joey says
Spencer grumbles in frustration but follows us downstairs. We get in the van and start driving. We get to the house and Donald and Yuna leave. We go inside and Chad is asleep on the couch.
"I'm headed to bed" I say
"Me too" Joey says
*Joey POV*
I follow Caleb upstairs and go to my room. Once I hear his door close I climb out my window and sit on the roof. Five minutes later Spencer walks out of the house and gets in his car. He then drives away. I take my phone out and pull up my tracking app that is hooked up to his car. I climb down a tree near the roof and get in my car. I follow where he's going till we get to an abandoned hotel.
"What the heck is he doing here" I whisper to myself
I look around and see another vehicle besides mine and Spencer's. I get out of the car and go up to the main doors. I open them and walk in. As I start walking around I hear noises and footsteps. I grab my pocket knife from my pocket and open it. I listen closely.
"There's someone in the building beside the girl and the guy" someone says
"We better tell the boss" another voice says
"No. We got it. The boss is busy anyway" the first voice says
I step out from where I'm hiding and see them walking towards me.
"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" The first guys yells
He pulls out and gun and aims at me. He pulls the trigger but I dodge the bullet. I pull out my hand gun and load it quickly. I aim it at them and hover my finger by the trigger.
"One wrong move and I will shoot you both" I say
"Yeah right" the second guy says
He pulls out a gun as well and aims it at me.
"Where are my friends" I ask
"Oh the big man is taking car of them" the first guy laughs they keep walking towards me. They finally stop walking and we're about 50 yards apart. They both move their fingers to the trigger and I quickly shoot them. I go over to them and check for a pulse and there isn't one. I shake it off and keep walking. I find the office and go in. I look and see a security camera on. In the room I see destiny and Spencer chained to a wall and a guy hurting them. I look to see what camera it is then look at the map on the wall. I find the room and start heading towards it. Once I get there I quietly go in. I'm just about safe when another person sees me I take my knife and throw it at him. It lands perfectly and he falls to the ground. The big man turns around and reaches for his back pocket.
"DON'T YOU DARE. I ALREADY CALLED THE COPS AND THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY. JUST LET MY FRIENDS GO AND YOU'LL NOT DIE" I say
He keeps reaching back and I pull my gun out. He quickly pulls his gun out and we both shoot. I see him fall to the ground and then a shooting pain in my shoulder and I fall to the ground. With all my energy I go over to Destiny and Spencer and unchain them.
"Call 911" I say
"Didn't you call them" Spencer asks
"No" I say
He quickly calls them while Destiny  applies pressure to my wound.
"Thanks Joey for saving us" Destiny  says
I go to respond but I feel myself fading.
"Come on Joey stay with us." Destiny says
"Come on Joey. Keep your eyes open. The paramedics are on their way. Do it for Jenae and Asher" Spencer says
Just as the paramedics run in my eyes close.
