Words don't communicate as well as they should when they're pressed against deaf ears that refuse to hear. They are only weak sounds that gag you when you sleep, cast stones against your skin, try and convict you when you don't even know what crime you've comitted. I don't think I will ever totally understand

I don't know what's going on here Ben, but I wish you luck. Don't fret. I'm sure Lindsay will forgive you, if that's what you're worried about.

I'm ready to listen...

You're home. Laying on Lee's and Karl's bed now, beside me where I'm sitting in the desk chair with my laptop. You are asleep, but it isn't a restful sleep. You're tossing and turning and saying things I can't understand. I can see the exhaustion on your face and though I don't know what caused it I know somehow or other, for some reason, I am part of it.

Mitch is in the kitchen talking to Brooke. Telling her what he knows, stuff I don't want to hear until I can hear it from you yourself. Hey Dog is laying next to you, guarding you, and I can tell he is as worried as I am.

Whatever has happened, I wouldn't care as long as he is alive and unharmed. Though my words meant nothing to these bastards that ripped me away from him, their's cut me like a razorblade, threats of things that could be. I hope I have paid enough of the price that they will do nothing more to any of us. What does this mean? This scares me, Ben. What price? What did you have to PAY? Are you talking about me? I'm safe, I'm okay, please tell me what you mean

No more hiding allowed...

We'll be home in a few days. Stay put until we get there. You leave again, this time I'll come after you myself.

You're my friend, Ben. And you've worried me, and Karl, more than you might realize. Talk to us. We can't help you if you won't.

And listen--give Linds some slack on his side, too. I know you may be upset about some of what he did while you were missing, but he was left hanging, Ben. And I gave him some advice that in retrospect possibly wasn't the smartest. I am sorry for that.

Take care, mate. We'll be home soon as we can.

Ben, I am so glad you are home, and safe. I don't know what happened--obviously, I haven't talked with Linds again since he called to tell us you were there.

Whatever happened, whatever took you away like this, I'm sure it can be worked out between you and Linds. Just promise me that you guys will talk to each other this time! I get so frustrated with you two-- Okay okay, Lee just told me to chill. Sorry. I just want to see you guys happy, and you okay, okay?

Looks like you'll be talking to the three of us mate. Probably four if I know Darren.
You need to explain this. If it's something that affects us, you need to let us know.
I was ready to kick your arse, but I'm willing to listen first.
