Chapter Text
Steve stared at the man in pure disbelief, who had finally come through the room door. This man was all too familiar. He was supposed to still be locked up but it appeared that his money was longer than his jail sentence. That, or he broke out with help. And deep down Steve knew it was the latter because he was definitely still supposed to be locked up. Mr. M stood there for a second seemingly contemplating what he would say to the young alpha who had attacked him before. A strong young alpha that if knew the extent of his own abilities, would no longer be locked up behind those bars.
Danny had started to come to and then sat up. He held his head and looked at Steve who was now pulling him closer to him. "Steve, what happened? My head is killing me." The alpha didn't say anything, he just looked in the direction of where Charles Montgomery was standing behind the cage door. That made Danny look over too. The Omega frowned and held closer to Steve. "Isn't he supposed to be in jail?" He whispered to Steve.
Charles laughed. "That I am little Omega, but you couldn't have thought I'd be caged up for that long. I slipped away when I faked a panic attack and they took me to the medical wing of the holding facility. You know, cops are kind of dumb, aren't they?" He laughed. Steve growled. "Don't talk to him, talk to me." Steve then stood and walked towards the cage door which in turn made Charles back away as he had a flash of last time when Steve got close to him. "Ah ah ah, young Alpha, you might not want to touch the bars." He said.
"You see, I had to prepare for your arrival." He then opened the bottle of water that he had in his hand and splashed it on the bars. The bars crackled and popped. "I had it electrified just for you." Danny grabbed Steve's hand and pulled him back. The omega knew Steve all too well. He knew that the alpha was not beneath trying the electrified cage bars. "I need you conscious." Danny said.
Steve then looked back at Charles. "Why are we here?" He asked, annoyed. Charles stepped closer to the bars again. "You'll find out soon enough young alpha. You two should eat. Tomorrow's going to be a heck of a day for you both." He laughed and motioned someone from outside of the room door to come in. In came to beautiful female Omegas who both had pink collars around their necks. They gave no eye contact. They had bought two plates of food and two bottles of water in and placed them by the bars, and quickly left.
"When this door closes and locks the door to the cell will unlock and open. You will only have 1 minute before the gas comes in if your not back in the cell by then. Trust me, you don't want a nose of this gas. You'll smell it for a month. I promise you that." He said, and then left out the room.
Sure enough, when the room door locked, the cage door unlocked and opened. "Steve can you break through the door? "Danny asked. Steve lay both of his hands flat on the door. "I don't know, but we don't have that long to find out." He said. Steve knew that they only had seconds before he and Danny would get gassed if they weren't back in the cage when it locked back.
He didn't care if he himself got gassed but he did care if Danny did. Steve knew that if tried to break the door down and failed, that he would hate himself for it. So with only seconds to spare, he pushed Danny back in the cage and picked up the food and water. And as soon as he stepped back in, the cage door closed and locked.
They both sat back down and just stared at each other, anticipating the gas to be let loose anyway but it wasn't. Steve sighed and leaned back against the wall. Danny looked down at the sandwich and chips that they were served and then looked back at Steve. "You didn't even try to break the door down." Danny said, picking up the sandwich. Steve leaned his head back and closed his eyes. "Don't eat that food Danny." He said, making the Omega put the sandwich back down. "Great." Danny said and lay down beside Steve.

The next day, Eddie and Joes plan to break Eddie out of jail was set into motion. They had learned that Eddie had a target on his back, put there by non other than Charles Montgomery himself. So if Eddie stayed any longer, he'd be a dead man, in plus they needed him when they went to rescue Steve and Danny. Clara went in to visit Eddie by herself this time, while Joe and Doris waited in the car.
Joe had called in a favor to a good friend of his and in turn changed the two guards that were on duty in the visiting room that day. When One of the guards cued Eddie to let him know he was in play, He then faked a heart attack right there in the visiting center. Of course Clara played along, alerting the guard. He then radioed an ambulance, aka the one Chin and Wo Fat had previously "borrowed" the night before.
when the boys arrived, they wheeled in the gurney to get Eddie. He was then quickly strapped in and rushed back to the ambulance with one the guard getting into a police car to follow, while Clara road in the back of the ambulance with Eddie and Wo fat. Chin closed the back door and sped off, sirens and all. When they were clear of the prison, Chin turned off the sirens and parked off of a dirt road.
The guard waved at Joe and sped off. Needless to say, he wouldn't be going back to work. Everyone quickly exited the ambulance, and Chin and Wo fat took off the paramedic's uniforms and threw them in the ambulance. They then quickly went over to the Joes' car and got in. Eddie hugged Clara. "You did great honey." He said. "Well, so did you." She said, hugging him back.
"Alright. Let's get Clara dropped off to a the safe house where Matthew is, so we can get to Peekaboo forest on time to meet Thomas. "Joe said. They had originally planned to meet the day before, but they needed a day to break Eddie out of prison. "Okay, am I the only one in this car who doesn't know what Peekaboo forest is?" Wo fat asked.
Joe chuckled. "You know where the old nursery school is on Old Alani road in the North Quarter? Joe asked him. Chin thought for a moment. "Yeah?" He said, still unable to put two and two together. "Well, Peekaboo forest refers to the woods behind the playground area because children used to play there."
Chin laughed and hit Wo Fat on the back. "Cute." Wo Fat said, unamused. "But how does Thomas know about it and he's not even from here?" Joe Looked over to the passengers seat at Doris who was just getting off a phone call. "Thomas knows a lot of things you think he shouldn't know." She said, taking a gun out of the glove compartment, and loaded it.
About thirty minutes after, they dropped Clara off, they were stopping to Let Eddie out. "See you guys in a bit." Eddie said, Jogging off in the opposite direction. Chin Frowned. "Where is he going?" He asked. "Going to get reinforcements." Joe said. "How will he know where to find us?" Wo fat asked as Joe started driving again. "We have a tracker." Doris said.
Minutes later, they were pulling up on another dirt road at the entrance of the wooded area. Thomas waved them over as he emerged from the darkness. "Let's go guys, we have a two mile walk to get to the facility." He then opened a gym bag that he had with him and handed Joe three grenades. Joe chuckled. "So that's why Danny fell for Steve."
They followed Thomas into the dense woods, half expecting to be ambushed. "Joe, when's Eddie coming?" Chin whispered to Joe, knowing that Joe probably didn't want Thomas to know extra help was coming just in case this was a trap. "Oh, he's probably already here somewhere." Joe said, as they continued their walk through the darkness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Danny had wished that Steve had tried to break the door down the night before because if he had succeeded, Steve wouldn't be being tortured like he was now. With every scream of the alpha's, Danny's Omega heart broke. They were trying to break Steve. Charles wanted Steve to work for him but he had to break the strong minded alpha first.
They had Steve shackled and closed inside of a glass sweat box, sending electric currents through it. Each current stronger then the last. Danny was shackled right in front of the glass box that Steve was in. "Stop it! Stop it!" Danny screamed, but they didn't stop. "Hit the alpha again and crank it up." Charles said. So again Steve was hit with a bolt of electricity.
The anguished screams of the alpha radiated through the room and Danny sobbed then. He bent over, wishing that Steve could break himself out of that box. Steve's breath was ragged but he was stronger than anyone really knew. "Don't worry about me Danno. I'll be okay." Steve said to the distraught boy, managing a small smile.
"Boss, we're getting nowhere. He might be just a kid but he's a strong one. I don't think he'll give in." One of his men said. Maybe that was true, Charles thought. They had been at it for hours but the alpha refused to pledge his allegiance to him. And that's when he had a thought. He just might be hurting the wrong person. To get to Steve, he should probably hurt Danny.
And that's when he turned and walked up to Danny and punched him in the back, "Ahh!" Danny exclaimed, falling forward in pain. "No!" Steve screamed. "Don't hurt My omega!" He then stood up, pulling with all his might on the shackles that were bolted into the floor. Charles chuckled. "You're strong alpha, but you got some growing to do before you can break those chains."
He said, turning his attention back to Danny. He was just about to punch the omega again when he heard the snap of chains breaking and turned around. Steve had indeed broken the chains and was now standing at the glass breathing heavily with fangs and claws out. Charles's men all had their guns pointed to Steve. Montgomery just stood there staring, more in awe than in fear because even though Steve broke out the chains. He could definitely not break the box, right?
Steve then rammed right into the glass over and over. And that's when Montgomery and his men started backing up and out of the room because the glass box was starting to crack. It finally shattered and Steve jumped out the box like an angry lion landing right in front of Danny. By that time, Charles and his men had vacated the room. That was the third time grown men had run from the now 18 year old. With everything that was going on, Steve and Danny both forgot that it was their Birthday.
Instead of going after Charles, Steve kneeled in front to Danny. "I'm sorry I didn't try to knock that door down Danny." Steve said, breaking Danny's shackles and hugging him. Danny hugged him back. "It's okay Steve, lets get out of here. I'm hungry." Steve helped Danny up and raised the back of his shirt. "I can't believe he punched you." Danny looked at Steve after turning back around. "What are going to do?" Danny asked Steve, after he sensed the rage building back up in the alpha. "I'm going to make him pay for it." He said as they left the room.
