"Yeah, i suppose. So, guess what?" Troy asked excitedely.
"What?" Gabriella replied with a question.
"Haylie's pregnant!" Troy clapped his hands together.
Gabriella spat the water that she was drinking right out," You're okay with this?" She asked, shocked to the core.
"Yeah. I was a little shocked at first, but she's a grown up and i'm really excited about being an uncle!" Troy smiled before skipping back into the lounge to check on the twins.
"How i put up with him, i do not know," Gabriella sang to no-one in particular before shaking her head softly and getting back to her food.
Gabriella walked into work the next day feeling both depressed and determined. She really wanted to solve this case, but couldn't see how she could, when everytime she got a lead, something went wrong. Today, Gabriella would be putting her original training to hand by going out on the beat with the ordinary police officer's in the afternoon. She would be doing a good old fashioned foot search and hopefully she would be able to get somewhere. The morning however would be filled with yet more footage searching as she still had more DVD's to go through. She had not yet found one with the kidnapper posting the letter but hopefully today she would.
Gabriella started her day with another briefing, explaining to her investigation team and the uniformed police, what was on the cards today, "Alright, we're not having much luck, but what will we not do?" Gabriella asked them.
"Give up," They chorused.
"And what will we achieve?" Gabriella said, much like a motivational speaker.
"Find Calum Jones!" They chorused again.
"Good, i'm glad we're all on the same page. Now, i want all hands on deck today. PC's Harman and Smith, you'll be starting and leading today's foot search while on the beat this morning. Allison and Gina, i want you two to go over all the evidence and interviews this morning to see if you can find something, that we missed. DI Manson and DS Gold, would you please get started on the Carragher case? Now, James and Hayley, you'll be with me searching the last of the tapes this morning and then this afternoon i will be going out on the beat with WPC Friedman, doing my own foot search. For those of you who i haven't mentioned, please see Superintendant Amanda Brown for details on your day. That's it, let's get to work," Gabriella walked away from the briefing with James and Hayley following close behind her.
"So, Gov', how long will this take?" James asked her, once they were in her office.
"Shouldn't take longer than an hour or two," Gabriella answered him as she set up her DVD player and tv.
"What have we got so far from yesterday's DVD's?" Hayley wanted to know.
"Not alot. We saw the car again from the side of the house, but nothing else," Gabriella replied before pressing play on the most recent DVD. Gabriella, James and Hayley all watched intently for nearly forty five minutes before finally noticing something,"That's the person, we saw take Calum. Why won't they take that damn hood down?" Gabriella cursed.
"The file said you thought it was a man from the way they were walking," Hayley commented.
"Well, yeah we did. But now we don't. That's a female, definitely. But i don't understand how a female could carry Calum. I mean, he's really heavy," Gabriella explained.
"Maybe she's freakily strong," James suggested.
"Yeah, maybe. I really wish we could figure out who's under that damned hood!" Gabriella got really stressed out.

"Caitlyn, eat your breakfast," Troy told his daughter, who was point blank refusing to eat it.
"I don't want it," She whined.
"Really? And why not?" Troy asked dramatically.
"Becuase it's yukky!" She told him, before pushing her breakfast away from her.
"It's not yukky. It's muesli, you love muesli," Troy attempted to tempt her.
"I HATE MUESLI! It's got nuts and rubbish in it and i don't want it!" Caitlyn yelled.
"Then what do you want?" Troy asked irritably.
"I want doughnuts," She replied simply.
"You can't eat doughnuts for breakfast," Troy told her, "It's bad for you,"
"Auntie Haylie said i could have doughnuts whenever i want them," Caitlyn argued.
"Oh did she now?" Troy walked towards the stairs, "HAYLIE! GET YOUR BUTT DOWN HERE!" He bellowed up the stairs.
A few minutes later, Haylie emerged sleepily in her pjyamas, "What'da want?" She asked groggily.
"Did you tell Caitlyn that she could eat doughnuts whenever she wanted to?" Troy asked her, with anger in his voice.
"Not in so many words," Haylie began to explain, before cutting herself off, "Okay, maybe i did, but i don't see anything wrong in being a cool aunt," Haylie protested.
"I'll tell you whats wrong with it, she won't eat her breakfast and i've got to go feed the twins!" Troy snapped.
"Alright, jeez. I'll tell her to eat some toast or something. You get the twins," Haylie attempted to fix her mess. Before she could, the doorbell rang and both she and Troy rushed to open it, "Can i help you?" Haylie said to the woman at the door.
"My name is Karen Jones. I'm looking for Troy Bolton," She answered, with her head held high.
"I'm Troy Bolton," Troy said from behind Haylie. He had picked up Alyssa on the way to the door and held her tightly in his arms,"You must be Calum's Mother,"
"Yes, that's correct. Is there somewhere that we could talk alone?" She asked in a really annoying posh voice.
"Umm, yeah sure. Haylie can you watch Noah and Caitlyn?" Troy asked Haylie. Haylie merely nodded before walking away from the front door. Troy motioned for Mrs.Jones to walk with him to the porch swing, "What can i help you with?"
"Actually, i've come to talk to you about my son and your sister," She replied with a digusted facial feature.
"What about them?" Troy asked suspiciously.
"They were seeing each other, were they not, before Calum went missing?" She asked quickly.
"Yes, why?" Troy asked, again, his eyes never leaving the suspicious woman sat on his porch swing.
"Well, i think that she's the reason my son was kidnapped," Mrs.Jones suggested.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Troy asked offended.
"She's a well known teenager, what with her being your sister and all. I'm merely suggesting that maybe someone wanted a payoff," She told him with a non-committal jerk of the head.
"Why would you care? It's not like you even care what's going on in your son's life or you wouldn't have thrown him out," Troy said bitterly.
"I do care about my son! You have no idea how my family works, young man," Karen Jones scolded Troy.
"Oh really? Well i do know, that your eldest son abused Gabriella whilst they were married," Troy snapped.
"That is a lie! Daniel did no such thing," Karen Jones screamed.
"Really? And what makes you think that i would lie about something like that?" Troy demanded to know.
"To protect your lying wife, maybe!" Karen yelled.
"She's not a liar, and if you knew anything about your family, you wouldn't be sat here judging mine," Troy told her sternly.
"Well, at least my family isn't a skank of a sister and lying wife," Karen shot back.
"How many times do i have to tell you? Gabriella is not a liar! And don't call my sister a skank!" Troy yelled.
"She must be, if she's with Calum," Karen told him huffily.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Troy asked angrily.
"I know my son. He only picks the skanks, and now he's gone and gotten himself kidnapped for it. I hope your sister is very happy with herself for putting my son in direct danger!"
"This is not Haylie's fault and Calum is a great guy! You obviously have a screwed up idea of family because you alienate the only good one and worship the loser," Troy replied bitterly.
"You don't know anything about Gabriella and Daniel's relationship!" Karen told him.
"Oh really? Like what?"
"You obviously don't know that Gabriella once told me, she's never loved anyone like she loves Daniel," Karen said triumphantly.
"I don't believe you," Troy said shakily.
"Ask her then. Right before she married Daniel she said that, and i told her that she didn't know what she had, and i was right. She didn't appreciate everything that my Son gave her,"
"Your Son only gave Gabriella bruises and heartache. She's well shot of him! I'm glad the useless prat is dead!" Troy shot at Karen.
"You'll get your commupance for saying that, Troy Bolton! You mark my words!" Karen Jones snapped before getting up and walking straight to her car and driving away. Troy simply shook his head in anger and stomped inside with Alyssa still in his arms.

"Gov', are you ready?" WPC Tanya Friedman asked Gabriella that afternoon. They were both due to patrol in a cruiser for the afternoon and start their own footsearch for Calum Jones.
"Ready as i'll ever be," Gabriella informed Tanya before getting into the police cruiser, "Wow, it's been a long time since i was in the front seat of one of these,"
"I know yeah. You sure you don't want to drive?" Tanya wondered.
"I'm cool thanks!" Gabriella laughed off the suggestion before allowing Tanya to drive on.
"So, what's up?" Tanya asked as they began the long drive.
"Nothing much, i'm just really stressed out. I can't believe how long this is taking," Gabriella moaned.
"I know what you mean. It is taking a long time, but you are the best in the buisness, so you will find him," Tanya encouraged.
"Thanks, Tan. That really helped," Gabriella smiled sweetly at her.
"So, what are we looking for anyway?" Tanya wanted to know.
"We're on the lookout for three things. Anything suspicious, Calum Jones and that damned car," Gabriella informed Tanya.
"Right. So, how are you and Troy?" Tanya asked as she turned left.
"Great. We are doing great," Gabriella replied with a dreamy smile.
"And what about those wonderful children of yours?" Tanya smiled at her.
"Perfect. Noah and Alyssa are growing so much at the moment, and Caitlyn is just so precious. She acts like she's fifteen not five though," Gabriella laughed.
"Yeah, she is pretty perfect," Tanya agreed, "She getting over her ordeal, okay then?"
"Yeah, she's been brilliant. She's really grown up from this. Troy and I just don't want to ever have to remind her of that. However, with everything that's happening with Calum, it's hard to shield her from it," Gabriella admitted.
"Yeah, speaking of Calum. How's Haylie doing?" Tanya asked genuinely.
"She's not doing so well. She's just found out that she's pregnant, with Calum's baby," Gabriella answered her.
"Oh gosh. Poor kid," Tanya sympathised.
"Tanya! Slow down a second!" Gabriella ordered. Tanya obeyed.
"What's wrong?" Tanya wondered.
"You see that car driving into that garage over the road?" Gabriella asked her pointing it out.
"Yeah, what about it?" Tanya asked as she squinted a look at the car.
"It's THE car. The one we've been looking for!" Gabriella squealed with excitement, "Tanya, do you have a bulletproof vest in this car?" Gabriella added. Tanya pulled over.
"Yeah, hang on," She reached into the back seat and grabbed a bag,"It's in there," She handed Gabriella the bag.
"Thanks," Gabriella opened the bag, took off her jacket and shirt, pulled the vest over her head and redressed, before adding her gun holster to the suit. Then she finally put her jacket over the top and turned to Tanya,"I want you to call for back-up, Tanya," Gabriella grabbed her radio, before exiting the car.
"Wait! Gov', what are you going to do?" Tanya called from the cruiser.
"I'm paying that house a visit," Gabriella said before looking sharply at the house. She couldn't believe that she hadn't seen it before. She knew that house, she had been to that house, "I don't believe it!" Gabriella said aloud.
"What?" Tanya yelled to her.
"Just call for back-up officer!" Gabriella shouted back to her before sprinting towards the house, 'This is it,' Gabriella thought excitedly to herself as she approached the house.
Whooo! She's going to get the Abductor! YAY! Next Chapter reveals everything, and i am just about to flip my coin to see whether or not, Calum lives or dies! So, don't kill me, if he does die!
Please review! And i'm sorry about the cliffy!
