It was a quiet night and Lindsey had finally settled JJ and gotten him to go to bed. She came back down stairs and sat with Mercedes as they watched a horror film before going to bed.
"Mercy can you come to the toilet with me", Lindsey asked.
"You weren't seriously scared were you", Mercedes replied.
"No", Lindsey replied lying.
They both went upstairs and Mercedes sat outside of the bathroom waiting for Lindsey. They hugged each other land then went to bed.
"Night", Mercedes said.
Lindsey smiled as she checked on JJ who has Ziggy's old room, she went to her room and fell asleep. The next morning she woke up and went downstairs for breakfast. Joe came down amd looked at Lindsey.
"Where's JJ", Joe asked.
"Asleep", Lindsey replied.
"His usually up first", Joe replied.
"I'll go check on him", Lindsey replied.
She went upstairs into his bedroom and saw his cot was empty with Mercedes holding a note while crying. Lindsey walked over to her to read the note which said.
I've got Joseph Roscoe junior 3k or never see him again.
Lindsey screamed causing Joe, Robbie and Jason to come in. The first thing Joe noticed was JJ was missing. Joe looked across the room at Lindsey and demanded to know where his son is.
"Where is JJ", Joe asked.
"I don't know", Lindsey replied crying.
"I've already lost one son, I'm not loosing another", Joe replied.
"Finger prints", Robbie said.
"I can try but with the panic you've all touched it", Jason replied.
Lindsey hugged Joe as Mercedes watched. Robbie went and hugged Mercedes trying to comfort her as JJ missing was reminding her of Gabriel. The Roscoe's didn't know what to do.
