Call of the Unknown

Trapped and not Talking

Martin was over the back and no forth with Richard and Howard, he was ready to get some real answers about what was going on and why Howard was being so cryptic about everything. Tonight was going to be the night he forced some answers out of the man whether he liked it or not; the plan was simple he would be locked up in a room alone and Jae would be chained up just outside. When the two men realized what was going on they would be forced to give up the answers, leave their bodies, or continue like this every night. He knew they wanted to be together but he also knew they didn't want anyone to see them together for whatever reason so they had to give the illusion of being alone.

"What if we chained them both up in the same room?", Sam suggested.

"We can't they won't come out if we do that, remember last time?"

"No, I mean what if they are just out of reach from each other but still in the same room"

"So they can see each other they just can't get to each other", Colton said.

"I think we are missing something here, every time they have been locked in a room they have either not talked or not shown, we need to let them think they are in control and trap them in the woods", Jae suggested.

"That's a great idea, we can see what they do in the woods at night, we will need to build a big cage to lure them in", Sam was excited.

The guys got to work setting everything up so they could be ready that night, they took down most of the cameras around the woods and set up a spring cage in the center of the woods figuring they would head towards the center. Based on where Martin and Jae have woken up in the past they were able to find the sweet spot of where to build everything. Before nightfall they would have to go over the plan once again, there would be a speaker set up on top of the cage for them to play the audio recording of Martin and Jae. That same speaker would used as a recording device to record the answers given back; there would be no more running, and they would have to come clean. Martin was feeling a bit nervous about everything, as much as he wanted to know everything he was afraid that something would go wrong and they would be right back to where they started.

Jae could sense his worry and tried to comfort him a bit, "Hey sweets, I practically feel the worry coming off you right now"

"What if something goes wrong out there, what if the trap doesn't work and we don't get the answers we need?"

"Whoa there, calm down, I just had to take on my very evil father, I think this is easy work compared to that, it's going to be ok; if the trap fails them we will come up with something else"

"I know I can be a bit neurotic sometimes but I just really need to find out some things about myself"

"We will find out what we need to find out, don't worry, you look way cuter when you are relaxed", Jae kissed the man on the forehead.

Joining the others they finished getting ready for the night, it was going to be a long one and he wouldn't even be awake for any of it; the trap was an electrical cage that once turned on was impossible to get out of. He had to hope that Richard and Howard weren't willing to risk hurting their bodies to try to escape; the speaker would be in a metal tree inside the electrical field. By nightfall, everything was set up and it was time to get into place, Jae headed back to his house while Martin headed to his, and Sam and Colton headed to the trailer. Martin was the first one to wake up and start heading to the spot; Sam had to find a way to stall him until Jae was up and moving. They knew if Howard got there first and realized it was a trap he could warn Richard and they would be right back where they started, and nobody wanted that.

"Stop, we need to talk about this", Sam was out of the trailer and at the front door trying to stop Howard from leaving.

"Get out of my way, I need to get to him", Howard began to shove Sam away.

"No, I can't let you do this anymore", Sam grabbed the man from behind.

"Let me go, I need to get to him now", Howard tried to pull the other man's hands away.

After a few more minutes of stalling Richard was finally awake and heading towards the spot, Sam let go and watched as the other man started walking into the woods and toward the trap. He headed back to the trailer to wait for the right moment to activate the electric field, it had to be at the right moment or he risk hurting one of them if not both of them. The voltage would be low to start, but once they realized what it was he would turn up the voltage and give a warning; he knew he didn't want to hurt his friends.

When Both men were in the right spot he turned on the lights and the electricity before announcing what was going on and how things would go; as predicted both men put their hands out to check. Sam watched as both men quickly pulled their hands back in shock, this is when he turned up the voltage and explained what he had done and why they should try to cooperate.

"All we want is answers, give them to us and we will let you go"

"The answers are not ours to give", Howard said.

"Dad, I know you don't want to keep doing this, just tell us what we need to know and you can be done with all this", Colton tried to reason with his father.

"Your father has spoken, now turn off the electricity and leave us alone", Richard was stern in his words.

"Not until we find out what is going Pops, you have to tell us something"

"We can't tell you anything, now release us", Howard started walking towards the edge of the trap.

Sam was starting to get afraid of what might happen, he didn't think Howard would want to hurt Martin but he didn't know for sure; he really started to panic when Richard did the same in the opposite direction.

"Stop, all we want is to know the truth", Sam was full-on panicking when both men didn't slow down their pace.

"Dad, Pops, don't do this, we just want to find out what is going on, I know you wouldn't hurt these two men, you raised me to be kind and respect others, so I know this isn't who you are", Colton tried, and something he said must have worked because the two men stopped.

Walking back to the center of the trap both men just sat down not saying a word, eventually they began to take off the clothes Martin and Jae were wearing and that is when Sam turned off the camera. They could hear everything going on, which is how they knew the two men were done doing their thing; Sam felt bad for Colton having to listen to his parents going at it in the woods, even if they were in other people's bodies.

"That must have been gross to have to hear", Sam sounded sympathetic.

"You have no idea, Dad sure can scream"

"Well at least we know what they do in the woods at night, we should check to see what they are doing", Sam turned back on the cameras.

Richard and Howard were sitting in the middle of the trap naked, Howard was in Richard's lap and they were just staring at each other not saying anything; after what seemed like forever they began to go at it again. The two men did this two more times before the night was over, each time Sam shut off the camera but they could still be heard from the trailer. By the time the sun was coming up the men in the trailer were exhausted and just wanted to make it stop; after the last time, he could see the men in the trap were going to sleep.

"I think they are finally done for the night, maybe we can get some sleep"

"Thank goodness, I don't think I can listen to my Dads having s*x again"

"Me either", Sam replied.

Sam turned off the electricity and shut down the computers and cameras, he and Colton left the trailer and headed to the spot where Martin and Jae were, they would help the men find their clothes and head back to the houses. Armed with the new information, the men could try to figure out what is going on and why the two men keep having their s****l rendezvous in the woods. The next step would be to force the men to talk, Colton thought it might be a good idea to try and talk to his fathers himself, he might be able to reason with them. The plan this time would be for Colton to be waiting in the spot when his dads arrived, he knew once they were there they couldn't leave and they would not want to have s*x while their kid was with them so he could try to get them to talk.
