Nick's missing. Check Oliver's network post, he's not out with his friends. Near as anyone can tell, he's not in any of the places he works or on a bender, or with Ragnor or Logan and I know he hasn't been with us in two days.
[ Even that isn't the real clincher, though. Nick could disappear if he wanted. But even when he does, he's never uncontactable. Not ever. ]
With Oliver at that crappy burger place. Stop, I'm not finished yet.
[ An audible breath. ]
Oliver's afraid that he's with a guy called William Bennet. Oliver's
contracted to him and it seems like they discovered he's a bad guy. Really
bad, abusive. And powerful. So it seems like they've been playing chicken
trying to keep each other away from the guy. Oliver left him, and Nick went
back, knowing the guy threatened Oliver that he'd hurt him. He says he
doesn't have Nick now, but Oliver doesn't trust him.
Even if he's telling the truth, it means Nick has two problems instead of
one.
Problems he hasn't admitted to me or you. A dominant that he's risking himself and Oliver over. Fucking great.
[he hates the bitter, jealous thought that goes through him wondering how much of this Logan and Ragnor know and are protecting him and isnt giving Kyle a chance yo be there. Thoughts he hates himself for but he feels he's failing nick.]
Why do I think one of us talking to this William isn't going to help?

He's not answering his phone.

[ He's determined. If this asshole has Nick, they're going to get him back. ]
The way I see it, if I can't get into his head, you can compel the truth out of him. Or you can go first and I'll spot you. I'm good either way.

Sounds like a plan to me.
And you can be there to stop me in case I find out he did something to him.

How soon can you meet us?

That burger place. What is it, McDongalds?
[ You can likely hear the roll of his eyes in his voice. ]
In the parking lot, I have the truck.
