Zane was sitting on his bed in his and Syrus' hotel room in New York City reading a book (there are two beds in their room). Then Zane looked at the clock and it was nearing 11:00 pm. 'Man, where are they?' Zane asked. 'Knowing Jaden he probably dragged Bastion and Syrus to a bar or something.' Then the rooms bell rang and he got up to answer it. He opened the door to see Jaden and Bastion standing there with Syrus in Jaden's arms, unconscious.
"What happened?" Zane asked, concerned as his eyes widened at the site of his unconscious brother.
"We don't know. Bastion and I were just walking around and talking. We thought Syrus was right behind us, but when we turned around he was gone. We searched everywhere for him before we finally found him like this in an ally." Jaden explained.
"I'll take him." Zane said then Jaden passed Syrus to Zane, gently. "I'll watch over him. Thanks."
"No problem. Good night." Bastion said.
"Yeah, see you in the morning."
"Good night." Zane said then closed the door and brought Syrus over to his bed. He placed him down gently onto the mattress and covered him with the blankets. 'Syrus, what happened to you?' Zane thought then saw Syrus' eyes open a little bit. "Syrus?" He whispered then Syrus looked at him.
"Zane? What happened?"
"I don't know. Jaden and Bastion said that they found you like this in an ally." Zane said then some memories started to come back to Syrus.
"Zane?"
"Yeah?"
"I-I think... I think I w-was r-r-raped." Syrus studdered and Zane's eyes almost flew out of his head.
"R-raped?"
"Yes. I mean... I was walking down the sidewalk, right behind Jaden and Bastion, when someone grabbed me and covered my mouth so I couldn't make any noise. I tried to scream, but Jaden and Bastion couldn't hear me." Syrus said. "Then the next thing I know... I'm waking up here."
"That's it? You don't remember how they knocked you out?"
"Actually... I felt a sharp pain in my arm... almost like a needle. After that I don't remember what happened."
"Syrus, I think they drugged you or something."
"They must have." Syrus said then Zane got up, went over to the desk, picked up the phone, and dialed 911 (after dialing 9 to get out). "What are you doing?"
"I'm calling the cops."
"Zane... I don't want this all over the media."
"I'm going to make sure that the police don't put it in the media. Besides... we live in Japan anyway. So it doesn't really matter." He said then a girl answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hi. Can you get me in touch with the SVU squad?"
"Sure... hold on a minute." The girl said then a minute later another girl picked up the phone.
"Hello? This is the SVU squad."
"Hi. I'd like to report a rape."
"Where?"
"Right now the victim is at the Hilton Garden Inn."
"What room?"
"Floor 14 and room 227." Zane said. (a.n. That's the same exact room number I had when I went to Washington DC for the forth of July weekend!)
"Okay, we'll be right there." She said then they both hung up the phone and Zane turned to Syrus.
"Something wrong?" Zane asked as he sat on the bed next to his little brother.
"I'm so scared. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before." Syrus said as tears started to form in his eyes and one slid down his face.
"It will be alright, Syrus. You'll see." Zane said as he had Syrus sit on his lap and cry onto his shoulder. "I'm here, Syrus. Nothing or no one will hurt you again... I promise." He said as he softly started to stroke Syrus' back. "Please... don't cry. It hurts me to see you so upset." He whispered and Syrus started to calm down. "Feel better?"
"A little."
"Well what can I do so you can start feeling better a lot?"
"Just hold me." Syrus said and Zane did what he was told and held Syrus closely.
-- 45 minutes later --
The doors bell rang and Zane got up to answer it, after setting Syrus down on the bed carefully. He had fallen asleep. Zane answered the door and a girl was there.
"Hi. I'm detective Olivia Benson, SVU squad." She said as she showed Zane her badge. "I have the right room, right?" (a.n. OLIVIA RULEZ! ...sorry... and excuse the way i wrote 'rulez'! ...i did it again, didn't I?)
"Yes. Come on in." He said as he stood out of the way to let her in. Then after she was in he closed the door and walked back over to the bed. He sat on the bed and saw her just standing there. "You can take a seat."
"Oh... okay. Thank you." She said then sat in the desk chair then she saw Syrus laying on the bed, still fast asleep. "Is this the rape victim?"
"Yes... sadly. This is my little brother, Syrus."
"Well you may have to wake him up because I have to ask him a few questions."
"Okay." Zane said then placed a hand on Syrus' shoulder and gently shook him awake. "Syrus? Syrus? Come on, little bro... time to wake up." He said then Syrus stirred before opening his eyes and looking at Zane.
"Morning already?"
"No. It's near midnight, but we have a visitor." Zane said and turned all the way around and sat up when he saw Olivia.
"Hi. I'm Olivia." She said as she extended her hand out.
"Hi." He said then took her hand and shook it lightly. "I'm Syrus."
"Yes, I know. Your brother told me. If you don't mind... I have to ask you some questions."
"Um... okay."
"Okay... do you remember anything?"
"The only thing I can remember is that a man grabbed me when I was going for a walk with my two friends Jaden and Bastion and he put his hand over my mouth so I couldn't scream then he drugged me."
"Using what?"
"A needle."
"Huh? Did you catch even a glimpse of the man?"
"I caught a glimpse... right before he drugged me. He had a ski mask on, but his eyes were black... or atleast dark and he had pale skin."
"Did he say anything?"
"All he said was 'you are mine'. Then he put the needle in my arm." Syrus said then Olivia faced Zane.
"Do you know anybody that would do this?"
"No. We're just here during spring break. We live in Tokyo."
"That's a long way to go."
"I know. If I had known that Syrus would get hurt I never would of let him come."
"Well... that's all I have to ask for now. I'll leave and let you guys rest." She said the got up and left.
"She's right, Syrus. Time for bed." Zane said then kissed Syrus' forehead and went over to his bed.
"Hey Zane?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for taking care of me and making me feel better. You're the best big brother in the whole world." Syrus said and Zane smiled at him.
"Thanks." Zane replied. "Good night, Syrus."
"Good night." Syrus said then Zane turned out the light and they both fell asleep.
-- The next morning at around 7:30 --
Zane wolk up to see Syrus sitting on his bed with a piece of paper, pencil, and some colored pencils. Zane sat up and yawned then went over to Syrus' bed. He kneeled down beside the bed and saw Syrus writing on the back of the drawing paper.
"What are you doing there, Syrus?"
"Making a card."
"For who?"
"You." Syrus said happily after he finished and showed Zane the now completed card. Zane took it and started to look at it. At the top of the card it said 'Thank you, big brother! You deserve an award!' Then below that it had a picture of an award that was colored gold and it said 'Best Big Brother In The History Of Forever!' Zane looked up at Syrus and smiled.
"Thank you, Syrus. I love it." He said then pulled Syrus into a hug. After they broke away Syrus told him to look on the back of the card. He did and it said. 'Thank you for comforting me last night! I love you!' "I love you too, Sy." He said sweetly then kissed Syrus' forehead before pulling him into another hug. Then there was a knock on the door. "Who is it?"
"Room service." Someone said from the other side of the door.
"What?" Zane asked then sat up and went to answer the door. When he did, Jaden and Bastion yelled 'surprise' and he jumped back. "What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack?" Zane gasped.
"Well... Bastion and I just feel really bad about the whole thing. Everything Syrus went through and us not being able to do anything. So we ordered you guys some food from room service." Jaden said.
"Don't worry... we'll pay for it." Bastion added.
"Well... that was really nice of you guys." He said then Jaden brought the cart into the room and over to Syrus' bed. After both Jaden and Bastion were in the room, Zane closed the door. He went back over to the bed and sat beside Syrus.
"You guys didn't?" Syrus asked.
"Yeah, they did."
"You guys didn't have to do this."
"But we wanted to."
"Atleast share the food with us." Syrus offered.
"Well..." Jaden said then looked at Bastion.
"Why not?" Bastion finished for him then they all sat down and ate breakfast while talking.
-- Later that day --
"Why don't we go and catch a movie or something?" Zane suggested, everyone agreed and headed for the movie theater. When they got there they went up to the ticket counter and started to try to agree on a movie, but they all had diffrent ideas. "Why don't we just let Syrus decide?"
"Good idea." Jaden said.
"I agree." Bastion replied.
"Well... I really want to see Ratatouille."
"Then Ratatouille it is." Zane said then they got their tickets and went in to see the movie.
-- After the movie --
Jaden and Bastion went to go see another movie together while Zane and Syrus went for a walk around the city. Syrus wouldn't get more than two feet away from Zane the whole time. Zane didn't mind though. In fact, he was enjoying it.
"Zane, I'm scared. I don't want something to happen again."
"It won't. I promise. I love you too much to see you get hurt." He said then Zane saw that they were at the SVU place (whatever it's called). "We should go in. See what they've found." He said then took Syrus' hand and brought him inside and soon found Olivia, who was in the office room along with Elliot, Munch, and Fin. Zane came in the room, still holding Syrus' hand and Olivia looked up and smiled at them.
"Hi you two." She greeted. "Something wrong?"
"No. I mean... not really." Zane said. "We just want to know if you've found anything yet."
"Not yet." She said. "We're working on it. We're looking for past rapists with that discription and we'll work our way from there."
"But how will you know who did it?" Syrus asked.
"That's where you come in."
"What?" Syrus asked. "Please don't make me do this. You have the information I gave you. What more do you need?"
"I'm sorry to put you through more pain, but we will need more of your help if we want to find the person who raped you." Olivia explained.
"Please. Syrus has already been through hell. Don't make him relive the tragedy." Zane pleaded.
"Who are you?" Elliot asked as he walked up to them.
"I'm Syrus' older brother, Zane." Zane said then walked out. Syrus looked back at them before following Zane out.
"There's something about that boy." Elliot said after Syrus had left.
"Which one?" Olivia asked.
"Zane."
"What about him?"
"He's just like you said Syrus described." Elliot said. "He's white, he's got dark eyes, and he deffinately looks strong enough to be able to hold Syrus down."
"But what would be the purpose for Zane to rape Syrus?"
"Think about it, Olivia. Why does anyone rape someone else?"
"Either because they're living some sort of fantasy or to show them who's in charge."
"Right."
"So you think that Zane really did rape his brother?"
"Yes. You should bring him in for questioning." He said then went back over to Munch and Fin. Then Olivia left to go to the hotel.
GX - GX
Ha! A cliffhanger! Mahahahahahahahahaha! Sorry... I'm being very evil today!
Anywho... this is an uh oh, Elliot thinks that Zane is the one who raped Syrus. Did he or not? You'll have to find out in the next chapter! Also in the next chapter... maybe something will spark between Zane and Syrus, but then again you never know when it's gonna happen. Who was the mystery man who raped Syrus... find out later!
