Chapter 10: A Door Under The House.
FRED'S POV:
It was a dark cloudy day. My head felt like it was in another world. I was angry & upset. No one should have to go through what I'm going through. It just isn't right. The halls here were so dark it was so cold. This jail is exactly where a person like "The Freak" needs to be, to pay for what he's done to me & my parents. A place where he doesn't ever get to see the sun shine. A place that is dark, dirty & cold! Where people treat him like he treated me! No one cares about him now! That's what he gets!
"Who are you here to see?" One of the officers asked.
"Fredrick Jones Sr." I said, It was weird I was named after him. I wondered what my real name was. Ugh! My whole life is a wondering lie!
"Here he is sir" He said.
"Thanks." I said.
I looked over at a messy man inside the the cage looking room. It was dirty & cold. He was sitting on the floor with his head down on his knees.
"Jones! You got a vistor!" The officer shouted. The man that use to call my father, looked up. Then stood up & started walking towards me. The officer stood back.
"I'll leave you two alone for a little bit" the officer said.
"Fred! Fred! You came back for me! You're here to get me out of here, right!" The dirty older Jones said.
"Wrong! I didn't come here to get you out! Thats never going to happen!" I said coldly.
"But, Fred...I've changed. Really I have." The Freak said.
"No your still the same selfish man you were almost three years ago!" I said to him.
"Then why are you here, for heaven sakes!" He shouted at me.
"Because, your the only one that has an idea of where my real parents might have gone, now tell me everything you know." I said in a angry tone.
"Ha! You're still looking for them? Oh please Fred, they'll be so disapointed to see how you turned out, no wife, no children, not even a house to live in!" He said.
"For your information Mr. Freak, I have a beautiful wonderful wife & she gave birth to our amazing son, & we live in a nice house togther! I'm a lawyer & Daphne's a part time news reporter." I told him.
"Daphne Blake? You married A Blake! Ha ha! Wow Fred! And you have a son! What's his name? Nutty? Ha ha ha!" The old mayor Jones laughed. He didn't believe me. I was making up everything! But, I wasn't. It didn't matter, he didn't need to know anything anyways.
"Yeah it's true. I never needed you, Daphne was all I ever need & all I ever will need! Along with my son, who's name is Brad." I said.
"Brad?...After your real father?" He asked puzzled.
"Yes, after my father. We're going to find my parents. I need you to tell me everything you know, or else!"
"Or else what? You can't hurt me pretty boy." He said.
"Just tell me what you know, the day you took me away from them, where were they?" I asked. He'd better not give me another smarty pants answer.
"They were at they're newly purchased house here in Crystal Cove."
"Where did they live?" I asked.
"Umm if I'm correct the address was 2424 Charming St. Crystal Cove. " He said.
"Hu, & anything else?"
"They're was new baby's room, that was yours. I broke through the window in your bedroom. & grabbed you out of your crib. Brad caught me right before I was going to jump, but, he couldn't hold on to me for a minute before I kicked his hand off. I then took you away. & that's all I really know."
"For some reason I've got a feeling you know more than your saying." I said.
"Honestly Fred, I don't"
"Honest? There isn't an honest bone in your body! Officer I'm ready to leave." I said calmly.
"Okay Sir." He took my out I jumped in the car & went down to the Town Hall. I went and got all the old maps of Crystal Cove I could find. Then I went back home.
"Freddie, you're back!" Daphne said before giving me a hug & a kiss.
"Yeah." I said
"Did you find out anything new?" She asked.
"He gave me tha address of where they were going to live before he took me & they left again." I said.
"What good is a house address, Freddie?"
"I can go there & look for clues."
"Oh, but, it's been over twenty five years Fred. I doubt there will be any."
"It's all we've got to work with right now Daph. It'll have to do." I opened the maps & laid them out on the kitchen table.
"Hmm, aha! Here it is! The address to the house is right here, in this old map." I said,
"I don't see any address like that here in the newer maps."
"That's because they changed the street address! Instead of charming st. It's Easy st.!" I said.
"Easy St.? That's where we live, Fred."
"You're right! & if these maps are correct, it was in this very spot the house was at!" I said
"Oh wow! Your right Freddie! I wonder if this is the same house." Daphne said.
"I know how we can find out, come on!" I went upstairs into Brad's bedroom. He was asleep in is crib. I ran over to the window to see if it matched the others.
"Aha! This is it! Daphne! This is the house my parents bought & lived in for a short period of time!" I shouted.
"How do you know?"
"See this window? It was made the year after I was kiddnaped. All the others were made & put in three whole years before that! The old mayor Jones told me he broke through the window in my room, this must have been the window he broke!"
"That means this must have been you bedroom Freddie!"
"Yeah! Oh my gosh this is really happening!"
"I almost don't believe it!" She said.
"Freddie, I think I know where we might be able to find some clues. I took Brad outside with me today. He was in his little cart & I was working on some of the flowers in front of our deck, I noticed there was a hole where they had it blocked off at, under the deck. I climbed under & saw a little door. Because you were gone & was alone with Brad I didn't try to get it. But, I bet you anything theres a basement no one ever told us about under this house." Daphne said.
"Okay let's go see. Brad should be fine as long as he's asleep." I said. We went outside to the spot where Daphne had seen the hole.
"You were right Daphne, there IS a basement down here after all!" I said.
"There must be something in there that no one wants us to find out about." She said,
"Or maybe it's because the door won't open," I said.
"Oh no. Really? I'm sorry Fred That's too bad." Suddenly Daphne tripped
"Daph! Are you alright?" I asked.
"Ow...yeah I think so...what'd I trip over?"
"Just a rock Dangerprone Daphne!" I winked.
"Hey! That's not very nice, Freddie!"
"Hey check it out Daphne. It's a key." I said, She gasped.
"It was under that rock I tripped over!"
"Right! Looks like you did it again Dangerprone!" I said joking.
"Let's see if it works!" I put the key in and what do ya know, it worked! We both started coughing, the door was dirty & very dusty.
"Do you see anything Fred?"
"Not yet." I said while searching for things with our flashlights.
"Freddie look! I found something! It's a box! " She said.
"And a pretty one at that!" I rubbed off some of the dust & dirt.
"Fred it's the Mystery Incorporated sign! It looks just like that locket that was your mothers." She said, Then opened the box.
"It's a book!" I said.
"Not just any book, Fred. This is a journal!"
"Who does it belong to Daph?"
"Oh my gosh! This is Judy Reeves Journal!" She said.
"My mothers!" I asked.
"The only Judy Reeves it could have been?"
Daphne turned it to the very first page of the journal then started to read aloud,
" It says,
Dear Journal, Hi! This is me Judy, Judy Reeves, I'm starting a journal for me & Brad Chiles! So that we can keep us with every single little thing we will ever do in life! & Yes journal it took him years & years but, he finally purposed to me! On the beach! It was like a dream come true! We're so excited to get married & hopefully some day have children together! Well I'd better go, don't wanna be late for our date!
-Judy Reeves - soon-to-be CHILES 3 "
"Dad just purposed? Wow! On the beach, just like I did to you!"
"Fred this journal raps up everything, she might even say where they were moving to!" Daphne said.
"This is awesome! Now we'll just read the rest of it & hopefully find out where the might have gone!" I said
OKAY that is chapter ten! I hope I get more reviews on this chapter than I did the last one. :'( We're getting closer to solving this mystery & finding Fred's real parents! R&R PRETTY PLEASE!
