Chapter 10: Answers Unearthed
As Sam and Danny drove down the empty street, there was silence between them. Even the radio was off, leaving only the humming that came from the engine. Sam pulled over to the side walk two houses and from Jack Fenton's house.
"Danny are you sure you're ready?" Sam asked, turning off the car.
"Well, I don't really have a choice. So yeah, I'm ready," Danny said and opened the car door. Sam sighed and got out of the car as well.
"How do you want to do this?" Sam asked.
"We already talked this over. We go to the door, knock, ask him the question, he denies it, we put the bag over his head, trip him, and then put him in the back seat before driving away," Danny said.
"Sam, are you nervous?" he then asked and Sam turned to face him.
"Of course not. What makes you think I am?" Sam asked, her voice speeding.
"Well, you're talking really fast and you're shaking," Danny said, watching as Sam crossed her arms; still shaking.
"Alright, so I am a little nervous since it's not every day you kidnap a grown man. I mean, what if it doesn't work out? What if he attacks us and ends up killings us?" Sam exclaimed, looking over at Danny with worried eyes.
"Sam, everything is going to be fine. Worst outcome is that he didn't really do it and ends up hating me for the rest of his life because I thought he slaughtered three little girls," Danny said and they walked to the house. Sam knocked and lights in the living room soon turned on following by someone mumbling they were coming.
"Danny? What are you doing here?" Jack asked, yawning.
"Dad, we need to ask you some questions," Danny said.
"Can't it wait until the morning? It's kinda late," Jack asked, muffling a large yawn.
"It's about the three girls that were killed years ago," Sam butted in and Jack seemed wide awake after she spoke. He stepped outside and then closed the door behind him.
"Why do you want to ask me questions about something that happened a long time ago?" Jack asked.
"Where were you the night they were killed? And don't lie, we'll know," Sam said.
"What the hell are you talking about?! Do you think I killed those girls?!" Jack yelled.
"Dad, please just come with us," Danny said.
"I will not come with you! You're accusing me of killing three little girls!" Jake yelled. Sam sighed before using all her strength to push him forward, causing him to fall on the cement sidewalk which knocked him out. They then tied his hands together and his feet together before dragging him to the car.
"It's a good thing you brought your Toyota. He wouldn't have fit in the back of your other car," Danny said, lightly laughing.
"Come on, let's just get this over with," Sam said before shutting the door and starting the car. It was about twenty minutes into the ride when Jack finally woke up.
"Where the hell am I?" he asked, his voice muffled by the gag. Danny and Sam ignored him and kept their eyes on the road.
"Daniel answer me Damnit!" Jack yelled through the gag. Danny turned to face him and only glared. He then turned to Sam and whispered something to her before Sam pulled off the highway and headed down a side street.
"Alright, now we're going to answer your questions. But they must be yes or no questions," Sam told Jack, taking the gag out of his mouth.
"Where the hell are you taking me?!" Jack yelled.
"Yes or no questions," Danny repeated.
"Are we at the final stop yet?" Jack asked.
"No," Sam said.
"Am I here to be questions?" Jack then asked.
"Yes," Danny said.
"Am I going to die?" Jack finally asked. Sam and Danny didn't respond but instead put the gag back into his mouth. They then continued driving, ignoring every muffled cry Jack made. When they finally did reach their destination, Sam stopped the car and got out. Danny soon followed her and they left Jack in the car. From inside the car, Jack could only hear the sound of their voices. He couldn't make out the words, but he did manage to catch,
"Might have to kill him," from Sam. After hearing this, Jack tried to make his way to the door. He was about to pry it open when Danny opened it for him.
"Leaving so soon Dad," he asked bitterly. Danny took Jack and brought him outside only to put him against the wall of an abandoned warehouse.
"We need to ask you some questions," Sam said, getting rid of the gag.
"Do you remember the killing of three young girls from a few years ago?" Danny asked.
"You should since you killed them," Sam added, disgust tinting her voice.
"Why on earth would I want to kill those girls?" Jack asked, trying to stay calm while being questioned and held against a wall.
"You didn't want to at first, but once you hit on of them; you thought you had no choice. Things weren't going well at work at the time so you wouldn't be able to pay for the charges that would be pressed. Thinking it was your only way out, you killed all three of them," Sam said.
"Do you have any proof I did this?" Jack asked.
"Actually, we do," Danny said before Sam pulled out the pictures they printed off the computer.
"We know the photos are blurry, but we compared our information to your alibi and things didn't match up. Danny even said that you never came home that night," Sam stated. Jack glanced around. He was sweating like a pig and was beginning to shake.
"Jack, you had two choices. One, what you did and two; take the girl you hit to the hospital, face the charges, and pray she lives," Danny said.
"Why didn't you take her to the hospital? Was it because your insurance wouldn't cover it or was it because you were too lazy and were already in enough trouble. Turns out it was both because of your insurance and you were late. But tell me Jack, might you have been in trouble because you were late to get home and you knew Maddie was starting to get suspicious as to why you were always late at 'meetings' but pay check was never raised?" Danny asked.
"Might it be the fact that you were cheating on your wife and wanted to get home to her soon so she wouldn't ask questions?" Sam asked.
"Either way, you were still late to getting home," Danny then added.
"Did you or did you not cheat on Maddie and kill the three girls?!" Sam yelled.
"Yes! I cheated on her and killed the girls!" Jack yelled and Danny let go of him, unable to be near him.
"I'll take that as a confession," Sam said with a smirk.
"The police have to hear it for themselves and what makes you think they'll take your word over mine?" Jack asked, smirking smugly.
"Oh but Dad, you did just confess in front of them. We've tape recorded and video taped this whole little meeting. I'm sure the police will be pleased to finally put this case to rest," Danny said. Jack's eyes widened in shock.
"Now get in the back of the car and come quietly. No matter what you lost and if you run, you'll be wanted for the rest of your life," Sam said. After silence and much thinking, Jack got in the car.
"Next stop, the police station," Sam said before driving off.

I'm just glad this story is finally over! I don't care if anybody reads or even reviews this chapter; you don't have to if you don't want to. All I know is that I'm never writing another Danny Phantom story because I just got so bored with this story! Sorry for such a horrible ending.
Forever laughing,
I Laugh at ur Pain
