Something was very wrong with Teddy Grey. Before the new year he was an amazing kid who loved to play with his brother and sisters. On the football team and ran with his father every morning before school. Three months later he's stopped interacting with any of his family and keeping himself in his room most of the time. He quit the football team saying he wanted to concentrate on his school work yet that was still going down. After catching Ana crying in the kitchen holding Teddy's latest school report i decided to do some digging into what was going on with this boy. There were four Grey children in the house, Teddy Ray was the oldest at seventeen. Second was Phoebe Grace who was fifteen and enjoyed giving her father heart attacks every time she announces that she has a new boyfriend. He told her when she was thirteen she wasn't allowed to date until at least twenty but that girl is just as stubborn as her father. They decided not to have anymore children after Phoebe because Ana had a lot of problems with the pregnancy and birth however they were blessed again with twins Keira Skye and Kyle Carrick who were four and complete opposites. Kyle was the calmest child i had ever met even as a baby he hardly cried or fussed where as Keira was a handful. Always running off as soon as she could walk. If i could i would handcuff her to her CPO. She will make Phoebe look like an angel when she gets older.
After the family had gone to bed i sat down at my desk in the guest house on the property which was given to myself and Gail to live and make our own. I had emailed a friend of mine from my army days to look into Teddy's phone, emails and social media accounts.I could have used Barney and Walsh the guys who do that sort of thing for GEH but i wanted it under the radar until i knew what was going on. Hopefully tomorrow i will have some answers.

It was a rare beautiful sunny day in Seattle and to top it off it was my daughters sweet sixteen. Ana had asked her if she wanted a huge party like her friends had thrown but to my surprise she said she wanted a costume party in the back garden. The theme was Disney something she had been obsessed with a little girl. She was going to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast and to stop others coming as the same she set up a website for her party with loads of the characters on and when someone picked the one they wanted they had to buy that character for $20 then it was taken off. She had a hundred guests coming so that meant she had made $2,000. The Sunday before her party she gave my mother a envelope that when she opened Grace burst out crying. It turned out that the $2,000 she made she had wanted it to go to Coping together the charity my mother set up after she adopted me. I was so impressed with her i had bought her a car for her birthday. I told each of my children before the turned sixteen they wouldn't get a car just because it was their birthday they would have to earn it. Teddy saw a homeless girl on the way to football practise getting attacked and he called the police and went to help. He was in a car with his CPO but just jumped out to help. Before Ryan could get to Teddy he pulled the guy off the girl and protected himself and her from further attacks. When Ryan arrived the guy ran off and disappeared. For months after the incident Teddy kept in touch with the girl and helped her get on her feet. He managed to get Ryan to keep his mouth shut but as in most things i found out. I was so proud and i told him he could have a car for his sixteenth as a reward. I also arranged for the girl to get a job an GEH as an assistant and she is doing well. I see her sometimes in the lobby in a morning and she still keeps her head down like she thinks she doesn't belong. She was only sixteen the same age as Teddy and that's why i wanted her safe and close by. Her name was Kimberly and Teddy still talks to her every now and again. Well at least he did, now he won't talk to anyone. Maybe it's a normal teenage boy thing something i never went through because of Elena. I made a mental note to talk to him before the party.
"Morning Taylor." He was stood in our kitchen drinking coffee looking at his phone knowing him it would be emails.
"Morning sir. I won't be going with you this morning as i have an early meeting with a contact of mine regarding security. I will be back around noon to sort out the guys for the party tonight." Before i could say another word he was leaving after moving his coffee into a to go container.
Phoebe comes running down stairs and slides into the kitchen still in her sleep wear and fluffy pink socks.
"Morning Bee. Nice socks." She spins around and see me a beaming smile on her face.
"Morning daddy. My socks are not nice they are amazing." I laughed at her. She was so different from what i was like at that age. Teddy was so into sports and very driven. Kyle was so relaxed and Keira was so hyper and full of energy. I don't think she will be a girl girl like Phoebe is she enjoys playing soccer with her twin most afternoons. For the birthday party she picked to go as that curly red headed girl from that movie Brave. She said if she was wearing a dress she wanted to have a bow and arrows to go with it. Phoebe loves make up and boys. I hated that and when she told us she had a boyfriend for the first time i hit the roof. It took Ana over an hour to calm me down enough to come out an talk to her. That relationship only lasted a few weeks and since then she has had many boyfriends but none of them lasted more that six months. The boyfriend she has now she has been with for three months and he seems like a nice kid but i still don't like him.
"Looking forward to this afternoon?"
"Yeah i am super excited. Mum's arranged for Ava to come round at lunch time so we can have our hair nails and make up done. Ava is going as Cinderella not a huge surprise there with her blond hair." Ava was Kate and Elliot's daughter who was only three months younger than Phoebe. She was a good kid but very shy and her parents were always trying to get her to join in family things but she just sat on the outside. I tried talking to her but she just said she was fine and just preferred to be on her own.
"Alright well I'm off to wake Teddy up enjoy your breakfast Bee." I kissed her on the forehead and went to wake my oldest child. I knocked on his door and waited a few minutes but when he didn't answer i opened the door and looked around. His bed had not been slept in and his room was spotless. We got our children to clean their own room and they wouldn't get their allowance if it was a mess. Teddy always struggled with keeping it clean it was always a sore point between us. Panic rose inside of me realising he wasn't in here at all. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and rang his phone. I heard his ring tone coming from his bedside table. He had left his phone and gone out something was not right. I text Taylor to track his watch that i gave to him on his thirteenth birthday. We have changed the band over time but the face was still the same and in the back was a tiny tracking chip. I trusted my children but i needed to know if ever they were in danger or taken it would give us a huge head start. Phoebe had a necklace with a tracker inside the pendent. Keira and Kyle are never without an adult at the moment but when they are slightly older they will have the same. When i didn't receive a phone call or text after five minutes i rang him only to find his phone off. Taylor never turned his phone off because of his daughter. He once told me if something happened to her and his ex couldn't get hold of him it would destroy him.

After seven very angry voice mails and seven texts i finally walked back into Grey house. Mr Grey was sat inside his office shouting down the phone and judging by the voice coming back at him on speaker phone it was Sawyer. I knocked on the door and before i could put my hand back down by my side the door was wrenched open and i was staring into his pale grey eyes filled with anger.
"Come in and close the door. Sawyer I've found him." Without another word he ended the call. "Teddy is missing, you were missing and your phone was off. What the hell is going on and where is my son?" I placed the folder i had spent the last three hours putting together on the desk and sat in the spare chair.
"Sir i think you need to read this before we speak anymore. I came to you alone because i think it's best Mrs Grey hears this from you alone." He frowned sat down at his desk and began looking at the reports and reading them. Once he had finished he had turned a very pale colour and leaned back closing his eyes.
"Sir it seems Mrs Lincoln has been in touch with Teddy and Mr Lincoln has been seen with him on many occasions. There are a few pictures of them together over the last three months. There is also a request that Mr and Mrs Lincoln made for a DNA test between himself and Teddy. My information is that Teddy was approached by Mrs Lincoln after school one day and they have emailed and texted every day since then on a different phone that was bought on Mr Lincoln's card."
"DNA test? i don't understand why they would need that. Teddy is a mini me and Ana had never been with another man in her life. I swear if that woman touches my son i will kill her myself. I can't understand why Lincoln would be in touch with Elena he hates her."
"Sir with all due respect i think tomorrow afternoon you should leave on a holiday that had already been planned as part of Phoebe's birthday. Maybe to the ranch in Texas? That will give Teddy distance from her and give us a chance to sort out what the DNA was about."
"Great idea. Arrange everything and i will tell the family nothing until tomorrow morning. Get Gail to pack for the family without alerting them when the party starts. As soon as Teddy comes home alert me."
"Yes sir." I made my way back to the office to start tracking Mr and Mrs Lincolns phones. I then began to make arrangements to go to the Grey Ranch in Texas which the boss bought when Phoebe was a baby because she loved horses and still does. He has a horse breeder and facility take over most of the ranch except the main house and some land around it with it's own stables for Phoebe's horse Star."
A.N- I re-wrote this chapter and started again because I really wasn't happy with it.
