Chapter 5 Escaped and Rescued

A few minutes after Lenny was able to escape. Clayton regained his consciousness and felt the pain in his temple from the attack done by the Omega. He can feel the blood flowing on the side of his face. He roared when he realized that the Omega had escaped. He called for his men to search for the Omega.

They tried to turn the house upside down searching for Lenny when one of his men mentioned the old couple leaving the house. He kicked the man for reporting it late. He told his men to follow the old couple and search for the Omega. He instructed them to bring him to his house as soon as they found him.

Alicia held her breath from nervousness as they were leaving the mansion. Afraid that they will be caught and she can't fathom what would happen to the boy if they were. She covered the boy with a blanket so the guard would not notice, they simply told them that her blood pressure was shooting up and needed to see the doctor.

She finally breathed when they were already outside the Simpson's property. They don't know where to go, but she told Hector to just drive to the town. They can just hop on any bus leaving the town and escape as far as here.

They just reached the town proper when they realized that a car is following behind them. The pick up is already old and cannot run as fast as it used to.

"Alicia, you need to take the young master on foot. I will try to distract them as much as I can. Go to my sister's place. I will meet you there." Hector said as he stopped at the intersection and tasked Alicia to join the crowd crossing to escape the eye of those chasing them.

Alicia quickly got out of the truck with Lenny and joined the crowd of people probably out for a late dinner or out to enjoy the night. Alicia is worried because the boy hasn't spoken a word, he was asking for his father and stepmother earlier. Innocently thinking that they would help him. When Alicia told him that his stepmother planned this and that they are disposing him and his father is aware of everything. The Omega's face went pale from shock, realizing how alone he was. He hasn't spoken after that.

Alicia ran as fast as she could but when she looked back, she could see some of Clayton's men scanning the crowd looking for them. She pulled Lenny at an alley. "Young master, look at me. You need to run. Run as fast as you could. Please be safe. I will try to buy you time as much as I could" Alicia looks at the boy not sure if he understands her, but she pushes him, the boy just stares at her but runs nonetheless. She prayed and hoped the boy would be okay. He deserves to be free from all this.

"How long do you plan to stay in town?" James asked his childhood friend Helena, who's sitting in front of him with her husband.

"We'll leave tomorrow morning before noon." George answered while holding his wife's hands. They were visiting Helena's hometown, well not exactly her hometown but it's where the orphanage that she and James grew up is located. They visit once in a while to see the nuns who raised his wife. Though this time they came to see the kids at the orphanage, he thought that if Helena saw the kids her mood might be lifted. He's okay if she even wants to adopt one of them, not that they don't have a kid of their own, it's just that they cannot have another one.

Helena is an Omega that he met while training at a restaurant. They fell in love and despite the difference in their status with Helena being an orphan and an Omega, his family didn't object and supported them instead. They were blessed with a son who's now fourteen years old, they were supposed to have another child a few months ago but sadly Helena had a miscarriage and was told she cannot bear anymore children which devastated the Omega.

"Matt don't go out far, we'll have dinner soon." Helena called out to her son who was sneaking at the back door of James' restaurant. Helena has become clingy to the boy, afraid that she'll lose him as well.

Matthew just shrugged off and promised his mom to be back soon. He likes cats and he knew that there would be stray cats in the back alley of the restaurant. He'll play with them while the adults talk.

As he opened the door and scanned the alley for a cat, he was disappointed when he couldn't find any. He was about to go back when he heard a noise just right beside the big mountain of trash. He slowly approached the location of the noise, expecting to find a small kitten but instead he found a small boy with a blank stare, ripped clothes and full of bruises on his face and arms. His pants have been scraped and his knees are bleeding.

Matt instinctively reached out to the boy and hugged him protectively. Surprisingly the boy did not fight back and allowed himself to be held by Matt.

Matt heard someone called his name and he protectively shielded the boy. Ready to fight whoever comes and attempt to take the boy from him.

Helena gasped when she saw what Matt was holding in his arms. She went out to follow her son to call him back for dinner. She didn't expect to see Matt holding an injured and battered child.

She tried to reach for the boy in Matt's arms but her son shielded the boy as if not recognizing her. "Matty, Matthew it's mom, I will not hurt him." Helena tried to get through her son and coax him to handover the boy. The boy badly needs medical attention. She

"Mom!" Matthew replied, finally realizing it was his mom in front him. "Mom we need to help, please.... please mom let's help him. Help my brother mom." Matthew cried as he reached his mom's hands.
