Once they arrived home from the memorial service for Hattie. Dixie went up stairs and stayed there the whole day crying know this was really goodbye to Hattie. Mean while down stairs Jeff was forming a plan in his head on how to bring his brother down and how to get the proof that he had Hattie and the only thing that he could think of was to follow him were ever he goes. Jeff grabbed his jacket and mobile and headed to the front door only to hear Jack and Brooke say that they were coming too.

"Were coming with your dad, we know you're going after uncle Steve and we want to help and get our sister back" Jeff nodded and opened the front door and let the kids go first in front of him and then shutting the door. They climbed into their car and headed to Steve's house only to find out that he wasn't there after all.

"Where the hell could he be?" Jeff said resting his head on the steering wheel in frustration.

"I think I know where he might be" jack suddenly pipes up.

Jack gave Jeff the address and once they arrived their Jeff knew where they were and they were right because Steve's had spent all his savings into this place developing it and considering it was after work hours which sent alarm bells ringing in his head. Jack, Brooke and Jeff got out the car and quietly entered the building looking round the empty rooms which echoed with emptiness.

"Dad are you sure he's got Hattie? I mean where he would keep her?" jack whispered to Jeff who put his finger on his lips asking Jack to be quiet.

"this place is so creepy" Brooke whispered to jack who nodded looking round feeling himself shiver .they looked round the whole building feeling defeated after not finding Hattie .

There was rug in the middle of one of the floors which really stood out to Brooke so she decided to find out what or who was trying to hide something down there that no one would discover.

Brooke pulled back the rug and opened a door which lead to some stairs and then another door which had been used recently. Brooke walked back up the steps only to stop half way when she heard a noise that came from behind the locked door and Images of Hattie came rushing through her mind telling her it was Hattie down there but she needed help so Brooke rushed up the stairs and told Jeff what she found and then heard down there and at first he was hesitant but in the end he believed Brooke so he grabbed some tools that builders had left behind and they headed down to the cellar and began to prise the door open.

"Hello, who's there?" they heard muffled behind the door

"Who are you, we are here to help you" Jeff called out

"I have a key but, I have been waiting for the right moment "Jeff stood back protecting his children just in case it was a trap.

The door began to open slowly to reveal a girl covered in dirt trying to adjust to the light. Brooke moves close to look at the girl knowing that she recognised her and the more she looked she knew that this girl was Hattie Collier her twin sister.

"Hatt...ie?" Brooke asked feeling her voice quiver as tears slipped down her cheeks.

"Brooke is that you?" Hattie said moving closer to her sister throwing her arms round her and hugging her tight.

"Dad, Jack. Wait how did know I was here?"

"We had a feeling that Steve had you all this time" Hattie hugged her dad and her brother tight.

"Wait where's mum?" Hattie asked looking round the room in hope.

"She's at home" Brooke said hugging her sister again.

"What has he been doing to you? Are you hurt?" Jeff asked hoping that he hadn't done anything to his girl.

"He hurt me a few times and he really was more mental abuse dad don't worry I am fine now"

"Dad, I think we should call the police" Jeff nodded taking his mobile out of his pocket dialing 999 and asking for the police service.

A few minutes' later police came bursting through the building ordering the Collier's to leave the building where they will be taken for questioning and Steve had been arrested and was taken to the station for questioning.

Hattie was taken to a room where she told the police what had happened to her from the beginning and how her father, sister and brother found her and saved her.

Back in Steve's questioning room he finally admitted to kidnapping Hattie and he told them the events of May Day.

"Why did you take Hattie Mr Collier?"

"I took her because I wanted to get back at my brother and I knew this was the only way to make him pay. I wanted Hattie because her stupid little protests ruined my development and I have not been able to sell any of the apartments and I thought if Hattie was out of the way my brother would have lost something that meant so much to him and I would be able to finally sell my properties with her out of the way" Steve laughed

"Mr Collier I am arresting you for kidnapping Hattie Sutton " the police man read out Steve's rights and then hand cuffed him and took him to his cell were he awaits his trial.

Hattie was aloud home after being assessed by the mental health team who agreed Hattie was well enough to come back home and be with her family. Dixie had her daughter back and she was never letting her out of her sight again but the main thing was they had Hattie back and they were a family again and nothing or no one was ever coming between them again.
