The Strattnapping of the Grace Brothers

by RylandGraceLover124

Summary:

He shoved the heels of his palms against his eyes until little stars danced behind his eyelids.

His chest heaved with every breath.

Stop.
Please just stop.
His thoughts were multiplying faster than he could catch them.

Colt wasn’t here to talk him through it. Colt wasn’t here to remind him to breathe. Colt wasn’t here to make his mac and cheese the only way he would eat it. Colt must be wondering where he was. What if Colt thought he’d left? What if he thought-

☆彡☆OR彡☆彡

What if Grace can't function and keep up with self-care without Colt there to help and remind him?

Stratt had instructed Carl to kidnap yet another one of the Grace brothers, Colton Grace Seavers, and bring him onto Stratts' Vatt 3 days ago.

Colt had fought to not get onto the fighter jet, according to Carl, until he heard Rylands name, who had been communicating to Colt through his permitted ten minute phone call a week as of the last 3 months. In which he then practically jumped onto the fighter jet if it meant seeing Ryland.

Stratt did not like to bring unneccasary people onto the Vatt, due to the entire crew already being targetted by doomsday cults, protesters, and billionaires wanting to claim they solved the problem of Astrophage themselves. As well as the potential assasination side of it, Project Hail Mary is a top secret mission, higher than any government, and a random civilan such as Colton Grace Seavers getting clearance for it, is dangerous and just overall unnecassary.

 

The incident that led Stratt to this reluctant decision was one involving Twizzlers, an autsitic meltdown, and a very important scientist.
