To say that everyone was working hard was a huge understatement. It was as if the holidays didn't even exist, and if it hadn't been for the merry decorations and the Christmas music all over the radio, Jude was sure that he'd never know that Christmas was on it's way. Everyone was on edge and running on empty. They had all expected to have not only Reagan back by now, but all of the missing boys. It was hard for just about everyone to even look at Liam, and even though the man was putting up a wall, Jude knew better.

He hadn't had much time to process what had happened between he and Beckett. They'd been spending as much free time as they could together, but free time was scarce because everyone was pushing themselves so hard. And by the way that Micah and Wyatt were looking at one another, something had happened between them as well. It boggled Jude's mind because not only was there something going on with he and Beckett, Wyatt and Micah, but something was up with Clark and Ally too because Ally had told him. Jude was just waiting for Mick to come up and say that she was hooking up with Emma, and he smiled tiredly as he thought about it. He was staring blankly at his computer screen, waiting for some information to come up about the man that the van was registered to, the man that Vegas had spotted.

Parker had been silent through all of this, sitting on the edge of his bed because he was too scared to stand up. He knew his knees wouldn't be able to hold him up right now. Staring at Murphy, he wanted to reach out to him and tell him not to leave the cage; the world was a scary place. He was also afraid that the boy's asthma would act up with all of the excitement. Tearing his eyes away from the boy, he looked over at Reagan and Liam, the way they were clutching for each other on either side of the fence.

Chancellor's voice had a way of snapping Liam back into reality. It gave him an anchor and he looked in at Reagan. "What if you're not safe until we find him? I should have been home with you. I should have known. I'm sorry."

Chancellor moved to Elijah's cage and he knelt down to start with his lock. "Tell me when." he spun the lock and then slowly started moving it around to the right to click the cylindar in the padlock.

Murphy was pressed against the cage but his chest started to feel so heavy. He moved back to the bed and he looked around for his inhalers. He grabbed one and shook it out but it was empty so he tossed it down and looked for another one. He gave up after a minute and sat down on the bed. The stress of being forced to leave Adam was overwhelming. Leaving Parker. But he wanted to see Vegas and he wanted to see Seth.

Elijah sniffed a little bit and held his breath so that he could concentrate. "Stop," he said softly, waiting for the next click. "Stop," he added after a moment, and when Chancellor got to the next one he mumbled, "Stop. We need to let Murphy out first, his breathing is getting worse, I can tell," he told Chancellor as the man worked the cage open.

"Don't, it wasn't your fault," Reagan assured Liam. "You're here now, that's what matters, and I'm fine. God, you're a wreck, you haven't eaten or slept much, I can tell."

It was all Liam could do not to demand that Reagan be let out first. But of course, he knew the others had been there longer and were probably in worse shape. He stared at his lover, taking a mental inventory of every injury he could see.

Wyatt disappeared upstairs for a few minutes and then came back down. "The paramedics are on their way. I found some chili peppers." He moved to Murphy's cell and passed one through. "Eat this. The spice stimulates fluids and dilutes the mucus. Also, capsaicin in the peppers is an anti-inflammatory. Crunch it up really well. Don't rub your eyes afterward."

"I can't." Murphy shook his head as he pulled his knees up. "I can't. If I eat it he'll know. He'll get mad. Just leave me here. Don't make me go." If he left he'd lose Adam and he'd lose Parker, but he knew with a chance to escape that Parker would never stay. In the real world they would be nothing to each other and he was starting to panic.

Chancellor moved with Elijah to the cage door and he spun the lock and then listened for the boy to tell him when to stop. They were going to have to get him out quick.

"He's not gonna know, Murphy, you're safe now. You all are," Mick told the boy as she went to look at the boy through the cage. "Vegas really wants to see you, he's never given up on you. He's been waiting this whole time. Seth, too. They both really want to see you, they miss you, all right? Just eat the pepper, it'll help, and we'll get you back to your family safe and sound. All of you, and you're not going to be alone."

Elijah told Chancellor when to stop, and when the cage opened up he went inside blindly to reach out for Murphy. He could tell that the boy was panicking, and a part of him understood why. Unlike Murphy, he had no family he wanted to see or missed. These boys were his family, even Adam in a sick way.

"Murphy, you have to come," he said softly once he grasped a hold of the boy's shirt. "I don't have anyone else out there but you guys."

When Parker saw a trait in another person that he didn't like in himself, he was prone to be angry with it. It was a lot safer to rage against someone else than it was to evaluate his own issues. "Murphy. Stop it." He said sharply. "Adam's not coming back--not now. We're on our own now and we have to leave. We have to go back to our lives." He started to pace, getting agitated. Shay didn't like the feel of the moment. Everything was supposed to be fixed once they were rescued. This was supposed to be joyous. He rubbed his hands over his face and leaned against the chain link.

"Come on, get these fucking cages open, please? Please just get us out of here." Shay's voice trembled once with the sudden fear that something would go wrong and Elijah would be set free and he would remain in here. "Please."

Being snapped at by Parker just kicked something off inside of Murphy. His face went slack and he tried to nudge Elijah back away from him. He took the pepper from Wyatt and started to eat it, just really taking his time chewing it because he said it needed to be crushed up. He was still in panic mode inside but on the exterior he was calming down.

Chancellor waited just a moment before taking Elijah by the hand to lead him out of the cage. He went to Reagan's cage next. Then Parker's, then Shay's. He got them each open and moved straight to the next so no one was stuck longer than they had to be. "Let's get everyone upstairs and out of here." So they were ready when he paramedic came.

Elijah let go of Murphy when the boy quieted down, and he let Chancellor lead him down the line. Once everyone was out, he relaxed and he reached out to try and find where Shay was standing.

"Shay," he called out nervously.

Reagan launched himself at Liam and pressed his face against the older man's shoulder as he held onto him. He blinked rapidly, and though he wanted to cry he somehow kept himself together. He closed his eyes and swallowed hard.

"I really missed you," he said softly.

Elijah didn't have to wait long until Shay was hugging him. He was foolish enough to believe that everything would be perfect now. He was too overjoyed to think that the aftermath might be difficult to get through too. For now, at least, he was on cloud nine and as long as he had Elijah, he was pretty sure things would stay good. He hugged him so tightly he nearly squeezed the life out of him.

Even though Parker had snapped at Murphy, he went right over to him and took his hand. "Come on," he said softly. "It'll be all right." He didn't plan on just abandoning him, knowing that he would have a hard time. Something about Murphy had attached itself to Adam and Parker could see it. He feared for the boy more than he feared for the others.

Liam couldn't hold himself together as well as Reagan had. He tried, but failed. It was terrifying to think that his team would see him cry, even a little, but as soon as he made contact with Reagan, he let out the smallest of whimpers and hid his face in the man's neck, the heat of tears falling against Reagan's skin. He managed to collect himself to get back upstairs.
