(Mother FUCK this took longer to post than it did to write it xD)

How could this have happened..?

Something that repeated itself in Laff's mind, over, and over, and over again...

How?

How?

How..?

...and why?

Why Nadwe..?

Why?...

...

Laff remained on his knees on the floor, frozen as what was on that damn piece of paper replayed itself in memory.

This isn't like any of the ransom notes Laff had inspected before on his line of duty. There was no indication that this "Beef Team Six" wanted any money for Nadwe's return. No number to contact to demand his return either, there was nothing; no way to find out where Nadwe went like any other ransom note would indicate.

It wasn't a ransom note; It was a calling card.

That was one connecting point between this kidnapping and all the murders Laff had reviewed. B.T.S was always written in blood on the floor or wall beside the corpses in the same area where they would be found, only this time the bastards had the sense of mind to actually sign their full name.

A team dedicated to the eradication of 'monsters', but they have used that term to cover up the fact they are actually slaughtering humans....

Right..?

...But what if the people who died...really were monsters..?

Then that would mean that Nadwe-

"Laff?"

Laff gasped softly as he turned and looked at who was speaking to him, almost frightened. It was only Shroobz; he looked worried. He slowly moved closer and knelt beside Laff, looking at him as he said nothing. Laff then looked back ahead, unmoving as he panted softly; he was unstable at this point. So many emotions were running through his mind that he had no way to process it. Shroobz only sat there on his knees, providing company as Laff struggled to find a way to compose himself.

"...hey," Shroobz started after a few minutes of uncomfortable silence. "Mark and Jennings are here...if you want to talk to them."

Mark and Jennings; two of the first-line patrol officers. Of course, Woolfster called the police thinking the place had been robbed, seeing that both Tbh and Wictoria were unconscious.

After a few seconds, Laff nodded softly and replied quietly "yes...I need to...t-those bastards, Shroobz..." He turned and looked at Shroobz with uncertainty in his eyes "t-they took Nadwe..." Shroobz nodded softly and took one of Laff's shaking hands, holding it tightly as to reassure him. "Don't worry; we'll find him." Laff took in a small breath and nodded, allowing Shroobz to stand up and for him to pull him onto his feet. Not letting go of Laff's hand; Shroobz led him out of the room.

Both Tbh and Wictoria were awake at this point; Tbh talking to officer Jennings and Wictoria talking to officer Mark. The two had the same story; they were watching a movie when someone came up and knocked them both unconscious, Tbh first and then Wictoria.

The second Laff caught sight of Tbh, one emotion surfaced above all the others.

Laff started going straight to Tbh, with every intent on beating him. Shroobz instantly caught on and looped both of his arms under Laff's, pulling him back a few seconds before Laff could lay a hand on Tbh. "YOU FUCKING BASTARD HOW COULD FUCKING LET THIS HAPPEN!?!" Laff screamed at Tbh as the crab man quickly backed away to keep the distance, shaking softly "H-Hey what did I do-!?"

Laff glared at him as Shroobz kept him restrained "IF YOU HADN'T FUCKING SENT WOOLFSTER OFF, NADWE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN TAKEN!! HE HAS A GOOD FUCKING SENSE OF HEARING- HE WOULD HAVE HEARD SOMEONE APPROACHING!!"

Tbh kept himself behind officer Jennings, who stood ready in case her higher rank officer who was extremely angry and emotionally unstable got loose. "What did I do!? Look, Laff, It's not my fucking fault Nadwe got taken!"

Laff stared at him "Why are yous saying it like tha- DID YOU FUCKING CALL THAT BULLSHIT AD ON NADWE-!?!" His struggling against Shroobz increased as Tbh backed up more; afraid "No I didn- WHAT AD!?!" Shroobz tightened his hold on Laff, looking at him "Laff, calm down. It ain't worth the energy." Laff growled and tried to get free "BUT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP MY SON SAFE AND LOOK WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED!"

"I know, but getting mad at Tbh isn't worth your energy." Shroobz calmly stated as he removed one of his hands to pet Laff's head gently. He felt Laff slowly start to calm down as he kept his hold "It's going to be okay; we're gonna find Nadwe. Just take a deep breath and calm down.." Laff closed his eyes and slowly steadied himself, panting softly as he felt the exhaustion that came with being riled up with anger. "...do you promise..?" Laff asked in a quiet voice as Shroobz nodded "of course, I wouldn't lie to you Laff."

Laff stood there in Shroobz's arm, unmoving as he focused on calming himself down. He couldn't really do anything to help with him mentally unbalanced. Tbh looked past officer Jennings to Laff "...are you okay now?" He slowly started to move closer as Laff instantly opened his eyes and glared at him "Come near me mate, I'll knock your teeth out so fast and so far down your throat they will come out of YOU FUCKING ARSE"

Tbh was quick to back up again, his hands up as quick footsteps were heard from the hall. Soon; Joocie, Dino, and Blaza came into the doorway as Joocie ran to Tbh "Honest!" Joocie sounded really worried as he pulled Tbh into a tight hug; shaking "I-I got a call from the P.D. that you were attacked..! Are you okay???"

Tbh seemed to have smirked slyly as he quickly smiled, pulling him in close to return the hug with a soft chuckle "I'm better that you're here babe." He kissed his head as he rubbed his back "Jeez babe, you're shaking like a leaf."

Joocie pulled away to look at him "I-I was scared when I got that call-! S-Shut up!" Tbh chuckled and pulled Joocie close again, having him bury his face in Tbh's chest as he smiled "Shh, it's okay now Joocie~ Your crab man is alive and right here to protect you." He rubbed Joocie's head gently as he kept him close.

Laff growled softly at the sight -Disgusting...-

Dino ran over "Laff, what happened-!? Where's Nadwe!?" Blaza let out a scream as he ran out of Laff's bedroom, having gone there to check on Nadwe in the first place without knowing what happened. "NADWE'S GONE!!" Dino's eyes widened as he looked over "W-What!? W-Who would have taken him-!?!"

Almost automatically and without control; Laff quietly stated,
