Chapter Eight!

Last Time:

Gabriella and Allison watched for the next thirty minutes as nothing happened. Calum had entered the pool house and no-one else had been spotted until now, "There's someone there," Gabriella pointed out.

Allison paused it and looked closely at the screen and she saw the same shady figure as Gabriella did. They were entering the pool house throught the open window at the side, away from the view of the people in the tent. As much as Allison looked, she couldn't figure out the person,"I can't see who it is. They have their hood up," Allison exclaimed.

"Looks like a man, from the way they are walking," Gabriella noted.

"Yeah, i guess you're right," Allison agreed.

Gabriella gasped and pointed at the screen, "That person is dragging Calum out of the window," She pointed out.

"It looks like he's unconsious!" Allison noticed.

"Who is that?" Gabriella asked herself before rewinding it over and over again just to see if she missed anything. She didn't...

"Let's get this over with," Gabriella said to Allison who had travelled with her to the other side of Manhattan that afternoon to interview, Liam Jones. Gabriella, to say the least, was not looking forward to interviewing her rude, obnoxious and vile ex-Father in law. They walked into the Jail's interview rooms and Gabriella's stomach churned when she saw him. Liam Jones. Gabriella wanted to turn right round and leave, but she knew she couldn't. Gabriella sat down next to Allison and clicked record on the tape recorder, "Interview commencing, 1.00pm. Those present are Liam Jones and Lawyer. DS Allison Green and DCI Gabriella Bolton. Mr, Jones. Could you please confirm for the tape that you are in fact, Liam Jones?" Gabriella asked him professionally.

"What's the matter Gabriella? Don't recognise me?" He sneered at her, evilly.

"Answer the question, Jones," Allison hissed at him.

"Yeah, i'm Liam Jones," He replied with an evil smile.

"Mr Jones, how are you related to one Calum Jones?" Gabriella asked Liam.

"I'm his Dad, but surely you know that Gabriella," He smiled crookedly.

"Please answer the questions, and the questions only," Allison ordered him.

"Ahh, Gabriella, you always did have to have people talk for you. Even with you being a hot shot detective," He laughed in her face.

"Can it, Jones! Or i'll have you put in solitary confinement, understand me?" Gabriella snapped at him.

"Whoa, chill out Gabriella! I thought we were family! Oh yeah, that's right, we aren't anymore, not since you tried to divorce my son before he died," Liam grinned harshly. He never took his filfthy eyes of Gabriella and this made her uneasy.

"Do i have to ask you again? Answer the questions, no comments! Understand?" Gabriella said through gritted teeth.

"Fine, Mom!" He said sarcastically.

"Right, we understand that you made a telephone call to Calum Jones at 6.07pm five nights ago. What did you say to him?" Gabriella asked Liam.

"None of your buisness," He snapped at Gabriella.

"Really? So, you would say it's none of my buisness, if i told you i was investigating your son's disappearance?" Gabriella asked him, her voice slightly raised.

"What?" He asked her, genuinely shocked.

"You mean, you didn't know?" Allison wondered.

"No, i thought you were coming to interview me about bail or something. When did he disappear?" Liam asked sincerely.

"Come on Liam. You really expect us to believe that you didn't know? You hated him," Gabriella sneered.

"Did i really?" He asked Gabriella sarcastically.

"Yes, you did! You and your wife kicked him out because he told the truth! Why would we believe that you had nothing to do with his disappearance?" She practically yelled.

"Because i didn't! What happened to him?" Liam screamed.

"He was kidnapped not half an hour after your call five days ago," Allison informed Liam.

"And you don't think that's suspicous?" Gabriella asked him.

"I had nothing to do with it! I'm locked up, for God's sake!" Liam banged his hand, hard down on the table.

"We both know, that someone like you could have him kidnapped from inside here, with one phone call, Liam! Did you order someone to kidnap him?" Gabriella wondered.

"No!" He denied.

"Do you know who did kidnap him?"

"Not a clue!" He protested.

"Are you even bothered that he's missing?"

"Truthfully? No! He betrayed me, he betrayed his brother. He betrayed the entire family! Why should i care?" Liam spat.

"Because he's your son!" Gabriella yelled at him in frustration.

"What's that got to do with it? He betrayed us, by telling the police and getting me locked up! And if that wasn't bad enough, he hooked up with that Bolton girl! How dumb can he get?" Liam sneered.

"You're heartless," Allison snapped.

"Wait! How did you know that Calum was with Haylie?" Gabriella wondered.

"Because, his mother saw them kissing at a starbucks a few months back and she told me," Liam answered rudely.

"Cut the attitude, Jones! How did she even know who Haylie was?" Gabriella asked impatiently.

"Who doesn't know, little miss Bolton!?Everyone knows everything about the Bolton family, thanks to perfect Troy and his basketball career," Liam answered, with spite and anger recognisable in his voice, "Like we all know, that you had twins by the bastard! And your married! Honestly, how Calum could ever betray us and live with you is unknowable!"

"Maybe he wanted to be with people who ACTUALLY love and care for him, instead of a pair of washed up old hasbeens who think the world owes them a debt when it doesn't! And two horrible people who think the sun shines out of the ass of a now deceased elder son, when the real good child is actually missing and possibly injured!" Gabriella let out her built up steam and anger towards the Jones family. She was practically unrecognisable when she morphed into bad-Gabriella. She didn't like it, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

"I'd like to go back to my cell now," Liam said with a smirk as Gabriella had no choice but to finish the interview.

"Interview suspended at 1.55pm," Gabriella shut off the tape and called in the guard to take him back to his cell before leaving the jail with Allison following. Once they got in Gabriella's car, Gabriella screamed in frustration.

"What was that, Gov'?" Allison asked almost immediately.

"What was what?" Gabriella asked dumbly.

"How come you just flipped out in there? That's not going to help!" Allison scolded her.

"Don't you think i know that, Allie?! I just can't help but lose my temper around Liam Jones. I've always hated him," Gabriella admitted.

"Maybe you'll do better later," Allison suggested before allowing Gabriella to drive off, back towards the Police Station.

"Well that was a complete waste of time," Gabriella said as she and Allison left the interview rooms at Manhattan Police Department at 3pm that day.

"Tell me about it. Why is she all prim and proper?" Allison asked referring to Mrs. Karen Jones, Calum's Mother.

"She's always been the same. As posh as Jimmy Choo shoes, and no emotion's whatsoever. It was damn near impossible to figure out whether she was lying or not," Gabriella whined as they made their way up to the C.I.D department.

"Yeah, i know. Is it me, or does this seem like we are getting nowhere fast?" Allison asked with a groan.

"We are getting nowhere fast! Hopefully, the press conference later will help somewhere. Hey, and look on the brightside, at least we have managed to clear one suspect!" Gabriella encouraged.

"That's a bright side for you, not me!" Allison corrected her.

"Allie, can you at least try to like Troy?" Gabriella whined.

"How can i like someone i don't know? Besides, all i know about him, is that he's some rich basketball player, and you know my opinions on sports stars," Allison told her sternly.

"Troy is different. He's not an arrogant S.O.B, like you think about all other athletes," Gabriella laughed slightly, "Neither is Chad,"

"Give it up, Gov'!" Allie said before heading for her own office.

"I'll never surrender!" Gabriella yelled back before heading to her office, but not without having a ten minute chat with Jason.

"Haylie! Get out of my face!" Troy yelled at his sister.

"Can't you just ask Gabriella how everythings going?" She whined at Troy.

"Hayls, i'm trying to feed the children here. Can't you shut up for five minutes?" He snapped again, when she wouldn't take the hint to shut up.

"I want to know how far along they are!" Haylie yelled like a brat.

"So did i, but i asked Gabriella myself instead of asking other people to do my dirty work for me! Gabriella should be back soon, so you can ask her then! Until then, clear off!" Troy sniped, before Haylie stomped off upstairs to her room. Alyssa giggled slightly,"Don't ask me! She's your auntie," Troy told his two month old daughter.

"I'm home!" Came Gabriella's voice from the hallway.

"We're in here, Mommy!" Troy called on behalf of their three children. Caitlyn was sat at the table eating a sandwich. Troy had Haylie in his arms, whilst feeding her a bottle and Noah was asleep in his bassinette.

"Hi guys, how are my favourite babies?" Gabriella coo-ed as she kissed Caitlyn on the head and looked down lovingly at Noah who was still asleep.

"They're doing fine," Troy replied for them.

"But Daddy's not! He keeps yelling at Auntie Haylie, because she's annoying," Caitlyn informed Gabriella.

"Really? Why's Auntie Haylie being annoying, Caitlyn?" Gabriella wondered.

"Dunno, Mommy. She always is. Can i go play?" She asked sweetly once she had finished her sandwich.

"Go ahead honey," Gabriella told her before turning her attentions back to Troy, "So, what's Haylie done now?"

"She keeps annoying me with questions about the case," Troy told her with an angry face, "Questions, i don't have answers to!" He added for good measure.

"But i do," Gabriella said sadly.

"Yeah. So, what's the matter with your face?" He asked when he realised she was sulking.

"I had the worst day. I had a huge blow up with Liam Jones at the prison when i attempted to interview him, and i got absolutely nothing out of Little Prissy Miss Jones either!" Gabriella huffed to show her angst, "Then, i was this close to hitting a reporter," She added, and also showing her point by putting her thumb and forefinger inches apart right in front of Troy.

"Why?" He asked, trying to supress a laugh.

"First off, it's not funny! Secondly, he said i was too stupid of a copper to not realise that someone had gone missing right under my own nose, so i was ready to lunge for him," Gabriella explained.

"Well, surely something must have gone good, today," Troy told her, making her try to see the bright side in everything.

"Yeah, actually. I officially exhonerated you, even though the t-shirt matched," Gabriella said smiling.

"Cool, it's about time!" Troy said, "Wait! It matched?"

"Yes, it matched. But don't worry, we saw on the CCTV that it ripped on a tree you were hiding behind whilst you spyed on Zeke and Calum. By the way, why were you hiding behind a tree, spying on Zeke and Calum?" Gabriella wondered.

"IT'S RIPPED?! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" Troy exploded before handing Gabriella a now sleeping Alyssa.

Gabriella got up and placed Alyssa in her bassinette and laughed at Troy, "It's just a shirt, Troy"

"It's not JUST a shirt! It's my LUCKY shirt! How could you be so insensitive?" He asked like a child.

"Jeez, Troy! Maybe you'll wear big boy pants soon!" Gabriella laughed sarcastically.

"Cut the sarcasm, Gabs. That's not funny. It was my favourite shirt!" Troy said again.

"I heard you the first time, Troy!" Gabriella yelled at him.

"Well hear me again! THAT WAS MY FAVOURITE SHIRT!" He shouted, enunciating perfectly.

"Urgh! MEN!" Gabriella huffed before walking away...

Please tell me what you think! It's been five days here since Calum went missing! The next chapter will be three weeks later. So Calum will have been missing for near enough a month! It's not looking good is it?

Please review and give me your thoughts! I'll try to update later on tonight! If not, it's because i'm still asleep!
