Chapter Fourteen

Scott was a bit nervous about Nick meeting Bobby and Lexi. He wanted his friend to like them. While he knew he had just met them, he could see himself easily falling in love with them, maybe even building a bigger family with all of them together with another child or two. He wondered how Lexi would feel being a big sister.

Shortly before one, the doorbell rang. Bobby had asked if he could be the one to answer the door, saying it was more for Scott’s safety. He didn’t trust Scott’s family, and he couldn’t argue with Bobby’s logic.

“Hi, how can I help you?”

“Hello, sorry to bother you, sir, but can we come in?” The deep male voice wasn’t one that Scott recognized, so he turned to Lexi, and before he could say anything, she ran over to him.

“Certainly, but may I ask who you are, and why you’re here?” Bobby demanded to know before he would let them in the house. “I have my daughter in here, so I would like to know who you are before I let you in.”

“Of course.” Scott could hear some rustling. “My name is Detective Charles Klyne, and this is my partner, Detective Frank Murdock. We’re here about the reported kidnapping of a Mr. Scott Hamilton.”

“What?” Scott cried out. “I haven’t been kidnapped. I’m here as an invited guest.”

“Please, give me a moment to unlock the door, and you’re welcome to come in,” Bobby said, closing the door and opening the chain, letting the police officers in.

Scott pulled Lexi closer when she let out a small whimper, then he whispered to her, “Don’t worry, honey, your dad and I will get this sorted out. It’s going to be okay, promise.”

“Okay,” she whispered back, staring at the officers.

“How can we help you?” Bobby asked as he led the officers into the living room, where he turned off the TV from the movie they had been watching.

“Well, this is awkward.” The detective who had the lighter hair color, turned and introduced himself to Scott. “I’m Detective Charles Klyne. The reason my partner and I are here is one Thomas Hamilton reported that his brother had been kidnapped and was being held here against his will.”

“Oh.” Scott sagged back into the chair he was sitting in. “Why would he do that? When I refused to go with him last night?”

“Sir.” The dark-haired detective, who Scott assumed was Frank Murdock, spoke up. “What do you mean ‘refused to go with him last night’?”

“The meanie came here and tried to take Scott away.” Lexi crossed her arms over her chest, giving the police officers a sour look. “He was swearing at us and even looked like he was going to hit me. I called the police to come here because he was loud and swore at me.”

“The police were called here last night?” The officers looked at one another, sharing a look that only officers did.

“Yes, sir,” Bobby said. “As the homeowner, I asked that he be escorted off the property and not be allowed back, him or anyone else in his family.
