"Not what I thought escape meant" Chapter 36 By this point all the men had gathered in the kitchen. "Baby please tell me whats wrong. What happened ?" Carl asked. "They have the boys." Max said. "Who has the boys ?" Carl asked. "My sorry ass brother went to the daycare today and got the boys. The lady told Brian that he gave them to a lady waiting outside. She was concerned because the boys were crying and screaming but Brian had listed his dad as one that could get the boys. Their mother took them and fled." Max said. Carl realized he still had Mary on the phone. "Got to go sis." Carl said. "I heard. Call me when you get to the house." Mary said. "Oh My God." Paul whispered. "Max we made sure that Brian has full parental custody." Bob said. "But she fucking took them." Max said. "Come on baby. We need to go. Thank you guys for everything but we need to run." Carl said. Lee looked at Keith and nodded. "On it." Keith said pulling his phone out of his pocket and walking away. Carl lost the battle of driving back to Brian's. Max drove almost daring anyone to get in his way or try to stop him. Pulling in the drive both men ran to the front door. There were a couple of officers at the house. Max was the first to Brian but was pushed away as Brian grabbed Carl and began to cry. The investigator pulled Max to the side. "She called about five minutes ago with her demands. " she said. "What were they ?" Max asked. "I am going to have to let Brian tell you that. I will say that as we speak we are issuing warrants for your brother. We will have him in custody tonight." she said. "Not before I get to him." Max said. One of Brian's cousins arrived and sat down on the opposite side of Brian from Carl. Max walked around and squatted down in front of Brian. Placing his hands on Brian's knees Brian quickly brushed his hands away. "What did I do Brian ?" Max asked. "Its all your fucking fault. I thought you loved me and the boys. How could you do this to us ?" Brian cried. "What are you talking about ?" Carl said. "She said she wanted a half a million dollars and she said you would gladly pay it. She also said that you had to finalize Granma's estate and give Dad what he wants. Its all your fault. Its all fucking about you. She has my babies." Brian cried. "I will be right back." Max said and headed for the door. Carl got up and ran after Max. "Where are you going ?" Carl shouted. "To take care of my mother fucking brother once and for all." Max said as he opened the truck door. Carl grabbed the passenger door and opened it before it could self lock. "Not alone you aren't." Carl said. You would have thought that Max left half of the rubber of the truck's new tires on the street as he pulled out headed to his brothers. A couple of really sharp and fast turns later Max drove across the front yard and even had the truck climbing his brother's steps. Jumping out of the truck Max made his way around the bushes and didn't knock. He ran into the door with his shoulder and burst it wide open. "WHERE ARE YOU, YOU SORRY MOTHER FUCKER." Max screamed. As his brother came into the room Max went to run at him but was passed by Carl. Carl picked him up by his collar and slammed him against the wall. "MOVE CARL. This is between him and me. It ends tonight." Max shouted. "I guess you got the message then." Max's brother laughed. Carl had him pinned against the wall. "Where are the boys ?" Carl growled. "Who the fuck are you ?" the man spat. "At this moment your worst fucking night mare." Carl said. "Oh so you are the guy fucking him then." he laughed. Carl took his knee and quickly punched the man in the groin. "Where are the kids you shit ?" Carl demanded. "Well you give her what she wants and give me what I want and you just may see them again." he laughed. Carl felt the breeze go by his face as Max's fist made contact with his brothers face. "Now I can have you arrested too. Trespassing and assault." he said. "OH no mother fucker. I OWN this land. Remember years ago when you thought if you built your house on my land instead of yours that I would just give it to you. Wrong mother fucker. I have paid the taxes on this land every year. This fucking house is mine." Max said. "You wouldn't do that ?" he said. "Oh you crossed the line this time. No mercy mother fucker." Max said. Max's sister in law sat there crying. "No need for you to cry. You are just as fucking guilty as he is." Max said. About that time a deputy knocked on the door frame seeing as the door was ripped off. The deputy walked over and placed his hand on Carl's shoulder. "He's mine now." the deputy said. Max stood and watched as his brother was arrested for two counts of kidnapping, two counts of interstate interference of custody, two counts of child cruelty and two counts of child endangerment. Max's brother spat at him and cursed him the whole time. As they were taking his brother out another deputy came in and collected computers, cell phones and also looked around for anything else needed. They also had a wrecker to impound his truck. "What am I suppose to do ?" his wife cried. "Pack your shit bitch. This place goes up for sale tomorrow." Max said. "But what about the bank ?" she asked. "I guess they will talk to you and him about it. Its on my land so not my problem." Max said as he walked out the door and back to the truck. When they arrived back at Brian's, Max went in and squatted in front of Brian. "They have arrested him baby. He is in jail." Max said. "And you are still here ?" Brian said. Max stood and headed towards the bedroom. Carl stopped him and wrapped his arms around him. "Its going to be fine baby. He is just scared." Carl said. Max never returned the hug and walked off to the bedroom. "Hello." Max said as his phone rang. "Uncle Max. What is going on ?" Ty asked. "Hey buddy. Have you talked to Brian ?" Max asked. "He called me all upset. He said the twins were kidnapped." Ty said. "My brother took them and gave them to their mother." Max said. "Well I am half way back." Ty said. "You just slow down and be careful. I don't think any of us especially Brian could handle you getting hurt right now." Max said. "Thank you Uncle Max. You know we love you." Ty said. "Well that's a matter of opinion at the moment. Hold on and let me give the phone to Brian." Max said. Returning to the living room he handed the phone to Brian. "Its Ty." Max said handing him the phone and going back to the bedroom. Mary had called Carl to inform him that she and Daryl were headed to the airport. She wanted him to text her directions from the airport and the address. "Sis you don't have to do that." Carl said. "Did you just speak ?" Mary said causing Carl to laugh. For most of his life Mary had said that to him when she heard what he said but let him know he just wasted his breath. Carl walked back to the bedroom to check on Max. Max had his computer out and was looking at the screen. "What are you doing babe ?" Carl asked. "Just checking a few things." Max said. "You are not giving her that money." Carl said. "I couldn't if I wanted to." Max said looking a the closed lap top in his lap. Carl sat down and put his arm around Max. "Baby. Brian is just upset. He will calm down." Carl said. "No he's right. He has every reason to hate me." Max said. "Stop talking like that. I love you baby." Carl said. "I love you too Carl." Max whispered. Max prepared supper and left the kitchen so that Brian could eat in peace. Mary and Carl arrived about an hour before Ty. Max had received a phone call from Lee and from Keith. They had wanted pictures and all information available on Brian's wife and her family. Max had no clue what they were up to but they had both asked him to trust them. Not wanting to upset Brian anymore Max kept those conversations to himself. Max sat on the patio with a cup of coffee. Carl had came out for a few minutes and Max smiled as though everything was fine. "Sis can you go try to talk to Max ? Brian more or less attacked him when we got here. The two have not spoken since then. Brian blamed it all on Max." Carl said. Mary took a jacket and walked out onto the patio. "Hey brother in law. Can I get you a refill ?" Mary asked. "Thanks Mary but I am fine. I hate that I caused you two to have to come out here. " Max said. "You did no such a thing. You didn't do this." Mary said. "From your mouth to God's ear." Max said. "Look Max. Brian is just upset. He is lashing out because he is scared." Mary said. "I know. I am scared too." Max said. The next morning Carl found a note on the coffee pot. "Gone to the grocery store. Be back soon... Max " the note read. Max walked through his parents old home. Pictures were still on the walls. It was almost like nothing had been touched. Both of his brothers had gotten some furniture and other personal items. Max picked up a picture of his mother and father and sat on the edge of their bed. Running his fingers lightly over the picture he then pulled it to his chest. "I hope that you two are happy with what I am about to do. If not I beg that you forgive me for it." Max whispered. He pulled out his phone and called Bob. He apologized for calling him on the weekend but asked if he could handle a few legal matters for him. "Are you sure you want to do this ?" Bob asked. "This is the last that I had to hold onto Bob. I need to do this." Max said. "Well I will handle it first thing Monday morning. Have you heard anything from the boys ?" Bob asked. "Not yet. I am not sure why but I heard from Lee and Keith." Max said. "Well trust me when I say this. Lee seems to have more resources available than the President. If anyone can find the boys he can." Bob said. "Well I will come by your office the first of the week and sign the papers and write you a check." Max said. Max sat in the quiet clutching the picture to his chest. "Baby. Where are you ?" Carl called out. Max sat the picture down and walked out into the hall. "How did you find me ?" Max asked. "Your cousin came by to check on Brian and said he saw your vehicle here so he dropped me off. Is this your parents house ?" Carl asked. "Yep. This was their house." Max said. "Whew. Damn its a big one alright." Carl said. The house was a huge plantation style, two story home. Max showed Carl around the house. "Damn baby. It looks like they could walk right back in here almost like they never left." Carl said. "I know. My brothers got a few things but all the rest was left." Max said. "Do you want to pack any of this up to carry with us ?" Carl asked. "No need. I wont be needing any of this. It will all be Brian's. He can decide what to do with it. I am taking this picture though." Max said. Max and Carl locked the house back up and got into the Expedition. "Alright. Point me to the grocery store." Carl said as he got in the driver's seat. Back at the house the groceries were put away and Brian and Ty sat in the living room when the phone rang. "You got what I want yet ?" she said. "Where the fuck are my boys ?" Brian said. "I asked first." she said. The investigator called to try to get the call traced. "I want to talk to my boys." Brian said. "Tell your daddy hey." she said. "DADDY" both boys screamed and cried in the background. "Don't you hurt my boys." Brian said. "They are my boys too remember. Besides if you get me what I want then you can have them. Has Max done what he was suppose to ?" she asked. "I don't know." Brian said. "Well you better find out and tell him to get my cash while he is at it before the price goes up. It costs to feed these little pests you know." she said. "Where are you ?" Brian asked and then the phone went dead. Brian through the phone across the room. "UNCLE FUCKING MAX........UNCLE FUCKING MAX...... I am so tired of hearing that fucking name." Brian shouted. "Have you done what you are suppose to ?" Brian said with his fist balled looking at Max. "It can't be done until Monday. The lawyers and judges wont be in until then." Max said. "HOLY FUCK...leave it to fucking you to not be able to do one simple little thing. Now its the weekend is your excuse." Brian shouted. Mary moved directly in Brian's face. "Now you just calm down young man." Mary said. "Its non of your business Mary. This is between me and that old bastard Max over there." Brian shouted. The whole room forze as the sound rang out as Mary slapped Brian across the face. "First of all young man it is not Max's fault and second of all don't you EVER talk to me that way again." Mary said. Brian turned and headed to the bedroom and slammed the door. "I need to go see my brother. It can't hurt." Max said heading for the door. Carl sat quietly in the waiting room at the jail. After going through security Max was seated in a chair at a table. "What the fuck do you want ?" his brother said as he walked in the room. "I wanted to talk." Max said. "We got nothing to talk about." his brother said. "I just came to let you know that as of Monday the estate will be settled. You need to get your lawyer to receive the papers and tell him what you want done with the money. Secondly I am keeping Mom and Dad's house. But for what you "claim" is your part of it I am deeding you the land that your house sets on." Max said. "Oh so they finally convinced you that you are the fuck up we all knew you were." his brother laughed. "Yeah I guess your right." Max said. "Why the fuck Mom and Dad left you anything is beyond me but I guess they felt sorry for you." he said. "Probably so but it will all be over with Monday." Max said. "About fucking time." he said. "Do you know where she took the kids ?" Max asked. "Don't know and don't fucking care. I got what I wanted." he laughed. "Well if she contacts you or your wife just let her know that you got what you wanted." Max said. "That's all good now get my ass out of here." he said. "Sorry. I didn't have you arrested. The state did that. Now you will have the money to hire you a good attorney." Max said. "Fuck if I am going to waist it on one of them." he said. "That's your choice. As of right now we are done. I mean done forever." Max said. "About fucking time. Now go let your little boyfriend to fuck you silly and stay out of my life." he said. "I hope one day you find some peace brother." Max said. "Who needs fucking peace. I got the money and the land now." he said. "That you do." Max said as he got up and walked to the door to wait on the jailer. "How did it go ?" Carl asked. "He was no help but at least I had to try." Max said. Sunday came and went fast. Max still avoided Brian at all cost. "Sis take this to Max and see if he will eat it. I have tried since Friday night and he wont eat a thing." Carl said. Daryl followed Mary out to the garage. Max sat in a chair facing the street. "Here Bro. We brought you some food." Daryl said. "Thanks. Maybe later." Max said. "You have to eat something." Mary said. "I don't think I could hold it down even if I tried but thanks." Max said. "You know this is not your fault." Daryl said. "Well it seems my name is all over it." Max said. "Buddy you know that Brian is scared and he feels like he has to blame somebody." Mary said. "Thanks Mary but this is not the first time and he is not the only one to ever blame me for things." Max said and got up and walked down the driveway and started up the street. Carl came out into the carport. "Did he eat ?" Carl asked. "No but we tried." Daryl said. "Where is he going ?" Carl asked. "Just give him some space. He is just walking." Mary said. "I am about ready to ring Brian's fucking neck." Carl said. "Me too little brother but lets get the babies back first and then deal with Brian." Mary said. It was well after dark when Max returned. Carl and Ty were setting in the carport waiting on him. "You alright baby ?" Carl asked. "I am fine. I just had to clear my head. Sorry if I worried you." Max said. "Why don't you come inside. Its getting a little chilly out here." Ty said. "Thanks Ty but I am fine for now. Besides you don't need to get caught associating with the enemy." Max said. "I don't understand Uncle Max. I don't like the Brian that I see." Ty said. "Don't hold that against him Ty. He has had a rough life and he is scared." Max said. "Yeah but he blames you." Ty said. "I am use to that. He got that trait from his Dad. Everything that has gone wrong in either of their lives has always been my fault." Max said. "Its not right." Ty said. "May not be buddy but that's my life." Max said. "Well I will put a stop to that." Ty said. "Don't say anything to him. This too will pass and he will need you even more than he does now." Max said. "Not if his attitude doesn't change." Ty said. "Please don't say that. Promise me you will stand beside Brian." Max said. "Well we will deal with this new Brian when the boys are back." Ty said. Getting up to go inside Ty walked over and hugged Max. "I love you Uncle Max." Ty said. "I love you too buddy." Max said. Carl pulled the chair next to his and patted the seat for Max to set down. Max sat down and Carl took his hand. Max lay his head over on Carl's shoulder and watched the empty street. Monday morning was a quiet morning around the house. Brian carried the phone hoping that she would call back. By mid afternoon the tension in the house was very high. Mary was preparing supper with Max's help when Max's cell phone rang. "Hello." Max said. "Hey Max this is Keith. I have two little ones here that want to speak to you." Keith said. "Hey Unca Max." both boys screamed. "BABIES... Are you alright ?" Max shouted. Everyone in the house ran to the kitchen. Seeing Brian out of the corner of his eye. "I will see you when you get here. Your Daddy wants to talk to you." Max said. He pulled the phone away and held it out towards Brian. Brian snatched the phone from his hand with a look that could kill. "Hey babies. Where are you ? " Brian said. "We are in the car with Unca Keif. He is bringin us home." Shane said. "Oh baby I missed you so much." Brian said. Placing his hand over the mouth piece. "Who is Uncle Keith ?" Brian asked. "A friend of your Uncle Max's." Carl said. Brian just growled before going back to his sons on the phone. Keith finally got back on the phone and told them that he had stopped in Valdosta at the Sheriff's office to notify them that the boys were back in the state and to let them check them over. They were on the interstate and should be there in about two hours. The house was full of joy. Brian and Ty stood on the front porch waiting for the boys to arrive. Chris and Lee arrived first and Brian seemed disappointed. They were introduced to everyone in the house. "Carl baby. Lee is the reason the boys are coming home. Brian needs to thank him but if I say something it will only get worse." Max said. "I'll handle it." Carl said. Carl took Lee and Chris to the porch. He explained that it was Lee's connections that found the boys and were bringing them home. Brian hugged both men so tight and was almost afraid to let them go. "I told your Uncle Max that we would turn over every leaf until we found them." Lee said. "Oh him." Brian said and released Lee and turned to look at the street. Lee looked at Carl with a puzzled look. Carl motioned for them to follow him. He explained to them that Brian had blamed Max the whole time for the boys being taken. "That bullshit." Chris said. "I know that but I can't convince Brian. Since I have been here I realize more and more why Max just left everything and ran." Carl said. "Yeah we only know part from what Bob has been able to tell us but if it had been me I would have run many years before Max did." Lee said. "Well I am really worried. I haven't been able to get him to eat a single bite since we left your house Friday night." Carl said. "Well hopefully he is drinking plenty then." Chris said. "Usually he at least has a cup of coffee in his hand from sun up until bedtime. If he drinks one a day now he is doing good." Carl said. "Has it been that bad ?" Lee asked. "Buddy you would not believe. It has taken every ounce of strength I have to keep from beating Brian's ass." Carl said. "Bob said he was afraid this would happen." Chris said. "Afraid what would happen ?" Carl said. "That Brian would turn on Max. He said they all do that because they know that Max will work even harder to fix things and then they can just act like nothing happens until they need him again." Lee said. "Well that bullshit is about to stop. Just as soon as I see those two boys faces." Carl said. Max stood alone in the corner of the carport and watched the reunion as Keith took the two boys from the SUV. Going back into the kitchen the boys had hugged everyone as they made it in the house. Brian was down on his knees hugging both boys when they spotted Max. Breaking loose they ran to the kitchen. "UNCA MAX " they screamed. Max got on his knees as the boys got there. Hugging them both he finally had tears falling down his cheeks. Carl stood behind Brian smiling. Looking at Brian's face he could see the sheer anger in his face. "Hey babies. I am so glad to see you but your daddy needs more little boy hugs." Max said. Brian walked up and roughly pulled the two boys from Max. "Why the fuck are you still here ? Haven't you done enough already ?" Brian said picking the boys up and going back to the living room. Max turned and walked back to the garage door and opened it to go back outside. Carl lunged towards Brian but Keith stopped him. "We got this one" Keith said. Brian had set the boys down before Keith grabbed his arm. "LET ME GO." Brian growled. "You listen to me you little spoiled ass brat. You are coming with me and you are going to listen or your two sons will see what it is for a man to get a true ass whooping. You got it. I am not the mother fucker to mess with." Keith whispered pulling Brian to the back of the house. Carl started their way. "I think Keith and Lee can handle this one just fine." Chris said. Lee and Keith had Brian in the bedroom that Carl and Max had slept in. "I know you don't know me Brian and I don't know you but let me set one thing straight. You need to have your sorry little spoiled ass out there on your knees thanking Max. I know him and I know Carl. I don't exactly operate within all the parameters of the law. If they had not been friends of mine it could be months before you saw those precious boys again. So you had better rethink this little prima donna attitude you have." Lee said. "Well he always causes pain." Brian said. "From what I understand you have him to thank for standing here today. If it had not been for him you may have been dead in a ditch somewhere." Lee said. "It wasn't that bad." Brian said with a huff. "Well I want you to take a minute and think of all the shit your Uncle did for you during your life and what would have happened if he hadn't." Lee said. "He's my Uncle. That's his job." Brian said. "So its his job to take shit from you anytime you feel like dishing it ?" Lee asked. "He will get over it. He always does. I got my boys back didn't I ?" Brian said. "Yes you did. But let me warn you. If you don't straighten your act up you wont have them long." Lee said. "And who will take them." Brian said. "Me. And never, ever under estimate just what I am capable of and how deep and wide I can reach. You got me ?" Lee said. "Whatever." Brian said. "The best thing for you to do is to thank your Uncle Max for reaching out to his friends for help." Keith said. As they came back to the living room Lee was staring at Brian. Brian walked to the carport door and opened it. "Thank you Max." and slammed the door. "Satisfuckingfied." Brian said and walked back to the boys. Brian's words felt like a cold steel knife going through Max's body as he stood in the dark of the carport. About an hour later Chris, Lee and Keith walked out to the carport where Max was setting. Max stood and held each one tight and thanked them with all his heart for finding the boys and bringing them back. "You know if you need anything all you have to do is ask." Lee said. "I look forward to designing your new house plus Me, Lee and the boys are going to have to come and inspect the final product." Chris said. "Well you have to talk to Carl about the house. Just don't let him go over board." Max said. All three men gave both Carl and Max one of their cards. Another round of hugs and thank you's were in order before they left. Mary, Daryl and Ty met them in the front yard to give even more hugs and thank you's. Keith met the detective at the end of the driveway and told them that the boys were returned and where the mother was. "Its been a few hours. I need to get a move on before she leaves." the detective said. "Well I personally never met her but from my understanding she wont be going anywhere, anytime soon so you have some time." Keith said. The boys were bathed and put to bed. Brian, Ty, Mary and Daryl had all retired to their bedrooms. The boys demanded that they sleep with their Uncle Carl and Uncle Max and Brian could not win that battle. Carl leaned over and kissed Max. "I love you baby. Everything will be alright." Carl said. "I love you too babe. I know. Everything will be just fine." Max said. The next morning Carl woke to two little boys playing with his face. "Morning munchkins." Carl whispered. "We got to potty Unca Carl " Shawn said. "Alright hurry up and we will get breakfast." Carl said. Carl could smell bacon and biscuits Carl joined the boys and relieved his full bladder. Making his way to the kitchen he found a stove top full of bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes and homemade biscuits with a fresh pot of coffee. "Max ?" Carl called out. Stepping out the carport door he looked and saw no Max. "He may have went for a walk." Carl thought. The smell apparently woke the rest of the house. Mary and Ty got everything ready to put on the table. Once seated everyone prepared their plates. "Where is Max this morning. This looks like a feast." Daryl said. "Not sure. I guess he went for a walk." Carl said. "No Unca Carl. He weft." Shane said. "He did what ?" Mary asked. "He told us this morning." Shawn said. "Baby think real hard. What exactly did Uncle Max say ?" Carl asked. "He said for us to member that he woved us and always would." Shawn said. "Yeah he kissed us bof and said he would see us one day. He had his cwothes." Shane said. "About fucking time." Brian said. Carl got up from the table and walked around behind Brian's chair. "Enough already." Carl said as he grabbed Brian by the back of his collar and dragged him from his chair backwards and down the hall. Brian struggled but never made it to his feet. The boys started to look upset. "Baby Uncle Carl and Daddy are just playing." Mary said so the boys went back to their breakfast. Daryl looked out the window and saw all the vehicles there. "How did he leave ?" Daryl asked. "Fiwip" Shane said. "Phillip ?" Mary asked. "That's the cousin that has been coming to check on Brian." Ty said. Inside the bedroom Carl picked Brian up and pinned him to the wall. "What is your fucking problem ?" Carl said. "Don't have one now. My boys are safe and he is gone. " Brian said. "You ungrateful little bastard. I see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Carl said. "What do you mean by that ?" Brian asked. "Your fucking daddy. That's what." Carl said. "Your Uncle has done nothing but devote his life to you and then you act like this." Carl said. "Big fucking Woo." Brian said. "You better hope to God that no harm comes to your Uncle. I will spend every penny I have to ruin you for the rest of your life and I will take those precious boys from you. Don't fucking try me." Carl said. Two envelopes caught his eye on the dresser. Dropping Brian he picked up the first envelope. "Brian" was on the outside. The envelope below it said. "Carl. The love of my life." "Set your ass down." Carl said as he lay Brian's envelope down and picked up the one with his name on it.
