Last Time:

"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.

"Sierra Oscar from 541, this is WPC Friedman. I request urgent back up to 175 West Street with EMT's on standby. I repeat, i need urgent back up to 175 West Street, with EMT's on standby. Do you copy? Over," Tanya Friedman requested into her radio.

"Sierra Oscar from 1, this is Manhattan Police Station.We copy, back up on the way, EMT's on standby, over." Came the reply seconds later.

Tanya watched closely as Gabriella moved towards the house, she didn't know what Gabriella saw about the house, except the car, but she trusted Gabriella's instincts. Hopefully, Gabriella could trust her head, and make sure she didn't screw this up.

"Troy! Troy!" Chad came running into the Bolton Mansion early in the afternoon, "I got it!" Chad added once he reached Troy's shocked body.

"Got what?" Troy asked, in a confused manner.

"I just came from the coach. Your physical therapist dropped off this and Coach asked me to give it to you," Chad attempted to explain, but his lack of breath didn't exactly allow this.

"Whoa, whoa. Calm down, mate. What is this?" Troy asked referring to the letter clutched in his left hand.

"It's the confirmation letter. In there, it says whether or not you are ready to start playing again in October, for the new season. Coach requested it, so that he could get you straight into training," Chad explained more thoroughly, "Well, don't keep me in suspense! Open it!" Chad said as he hopped up and down in excitement.

"Alright! Keep your knickers on, i'm getting to it!" Troy said huffily before opening the letter as slowly as he could. This was just to see Chad squirm.

"OH COME ON!" Chad snapped.

Troy just laughed and pulled out the letter, "Dear Mr Bolton, I am pleased to inform you, that after many tests and sessions, yada, yada, yada, i will be giving you the all clear to begin training at once in time for the beginning of the basketball season in October," Troy read out the important parts.

"YES!"Chad whooped.

"I'M GOING BACK!" Troy jumped up and down with his friend.

"I can't believe this, you're back!" Chad said in over-excitement.

"And better than ever, baby," Troy joked as he gave Chad another man hug.

"I'd hate to interrupt this lovely moment, girls. But, Sharpay is on the phone, Troy and she says it's important," Haylie said, stifling back giggles before handing him the phone and walking off in fits of laughter.

Troy took the phone and walked a few steps away from Chad, embarrassed at what Haylie had said, "Sharpay, what's up?"

"Don't what's up me! Chad rang me on the way to your house. I want to know, did you get back?" Sharpay asked in her stuck up tone.

"Yes, i did," Troy answered before pulling the reciever away from his ear. Sharpay squealed with delight and shouted at whoever was in her house that Troy was back in the NBA! Troy was glad, his ear was no where near Sharpay.

"Troy! We are all so proud of you!" Sharpay squeeked at him.

"Who's we?" Troy wondered.

"Oh the whole gang. Except for Jason, he's at work," Sharpay explained.

"Why aren't you all at work?" Troy scolded.

"Because we couldn't be bothered. Listen, Tay wants a word with Chad. Put him on," Sharpay ordered.

Troy gave Chad the phone and walked away back to his sleeping children. He watched them sleep peacefully before being interrupted by a screech coming from Chad in the next room, "Chad! Will you cut it out? The babies are sleeping," Troy scolded him, once he had gone back into the dining room.

"Troy, dude, turn on the news," Chad said softly. His face was pale.

"Why?" Troy asked quietly.

"Just turn it on," Chad demanded nicely.

Troy obeyed the instructions and pulled Chad into the lounge where he turned on the first local newstation he could find, "This one?"

"Yeah. Listen," Chad ordered.

"Moments ago, an Ambulance left this property after several shots were fired some thirty minutes ago. Detective Chief Inspector Gabriella Bolton, wife of Knicks star, Troy Bolton, has just followed the ambulance after refusing to comment on who had been shot. DCI Bolton refused to comment but we caught this statement from Superintendant Amanda Brown, who arrived on the scene, minutes after the last shot was fired,"

The screen switches to a uniformed, middle aged woman, "Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen. I can't say too much at this time, but as you all know, more than one shot has been fired. We cannot comment at this time on who has been shot, until the family have been notified. We can, however, confirm that the victim was shot multiple times and has suffered extreme blood loss at this time. DCI Gabriella Bolton, herself, was extremely lucky as she was cornered in the house behind us by the crazed attacker. She's a little shook up, but doing well, considered. The Gunshot victim's current situation is critical," Troy had enough, he turned off the tv.

"Wow, Gabriella has been in the middle of a serious shoot-out," Chad commented.

"Yeah. I need to see if she's okay," Troy picked up his cell phone and rang Gabriella's mobile, who answered it straight away.

"Troy..."

Thirty Minutes Previous:

Gabriella walked up to the side of the house and looked in. No-one was visible yet, so she ducked under the front window and made her way to the side gate. Gabriella pushed the gate handle and found it locked. Gabriella looked around, she spotted the bin, moved it under the door, climbed on top and climbed over the seven foot side gate. She let herself fall to the floor and fell into a crouched position on the floor. Gabriella began to walk slowly round to the back door which was slightly ajar. She took this moment to listen for movement, and when she found none, she popped her head around the back door. The coast was clear. Gabi slid silently through the back door and sidled along the nearest corridoor towards an open door in the kitchen. It looked like it led to a basement, so with courage, Gabriella silently walked through the door in the kitchen and down some steps. When Gabriella reached the bottom, she gasped in horror at the sight before her. There, bound and gagged to water pipes was none other than Calum Jones. He looked extremely underfed and had bruises all over his face, and was still in his suit from the wedding nearly one month ago. He looked to be unconcious. Gabriella made her way over to Calum and began un-tying the ropes that bound his hands over his head and his feet too. Then she un-gagged his mouth before shaking him, to see if he was going to come round. Calum began stirring, "Oh, Calum, what has happened to you?" Gabriella whispered.

Calum opened his eyes, "Gabriella?" He questioned, wearily.

"Yeah, Calum. It's me, you are safe now, okay?" Gabriella told him comfortingly, "What the hell has she done to you?" Gabriella attempted to lift him up. She managed after a few attempts to put her head under his arm and lift him, "Where are we going?" Calum asked weakly.

"To the hospital," Gabriella breathed heavily, from the weight she was carrying.

"Oh no you're not," Came an evil voice from behind them.

Gabriella spun around, with Calum still resting wearily on her, "How could you?" Gabriella asked the person standing in the doorway at the top of the cellar stairs.

The person began to walk slowly down the stairs, with their evil form going from shadow to person, "Easy, he deserved it," The person sneered.

"He's your son!" Gabriella spat at Karen Jones who just laughed in reply, "How could you do this to him? He doesn't deserve this!"

"Oh no? Well, how would you feel, if your Son got Troy locked up?" Karen shouted at Gabriella in reply.

"If Troy was guilty, i would feel bad, but he would deserve it! Liam deserved everything he got! Calum was just doing the right thing!" Gabriella yelled.

"Liam wasn't guilty! I was! I told him to report you! Liam was hesitant but he did it for me! Then Calum told the police about the lie and then his Father got put away!" Karen began to rant.

"Well, then that makes it your fault that Liam got put away! Not Calum's!" Gabriella screamed.

"Don't you tell me whose fault it is! Calum is just as bad as you! How could he betray us and hook up with a Bolton for crying out loud?! How could you betray Daniel and leave him for Troy Bolton?"

"I didn't leave Daniel for Troy! I left Daniel because he beat me and cheated on me! Troy was there for me when i needed him! It's not a crime to fall in love with someone Karen! I didn't leave Daniel because i was in love with Troy! I left him because i hated him! I left because he made my life miserable, he was a petty loser and i'm glad that he's out of my life! And as for Calum, he's nineteen! You can't control who he falls in love with! Haylie and Calum are very much in love and you took him away from her! She's pregnant for Gods' sake! With your Grandchild!" Gabriella ranted mercilessly, but strained slightly at the weight of Calum.

"She's having my baby?" Calum croaked weakly.

"Yes," Gabriella confirmed.

"What?!" Karen Jones screeched. She was now metres away from Gabriella and Calum.

"You heard me, you witch! She's pregnant with Calum's baby!" Gabriella yelled.

"This can't be happening," Karen shook her head in disbelief before turning to go back up the stairs.

"STOP!" Gabriella screamed.

"NO! I'm going to put an end to this!" Karen cried before pulling a gun from her jacket,"And no-one's going to stop me!"

As Karen once again turned to leave, Calum mustered up all his strength and tackled her to the floor. Gabriella watched on in horror as he struggled with the gun to remove it from his Mother's grip. Gabriella began to reach into the inside of her jacket for one of her own guns but was too late. A gunshot went off and Calum doubled over onto the floor, clutching his shoulder in pain as blood poured. Karen climbed to her feet and shot again, this time at Calum's abdomen. Gabriella charged at Karen's back and once again tackled her to the floor as she let off one more shot, this time to one of the beams above them which came tumbling on top of Calum. Gabriella, with all her strength pinned Karen Jones down and cuffed her wrists tightly, "Karen Jones, i'm arresting you for the abduction and attempted murder of Calum Jones. You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something that you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence. If you cannot afford a Lawyer, one will be appointed to you by cost of the state. Do you understand?" Gabriella recited the rights a person recieves when arrested. She pushed harder on Karen's head to make her answer.

"Yes," Karen replied reluctantly.

Just as Gabriella finished the arrest, more officer's entered the house,"This is the Police!"

"Down here!" Gabriella yelled, whilst still having a firm grip on Karen, "We need medical attention too!" She added, before looking at Calum who hadn't moved since the second shot.

"Gov', we got here as soon as we could," Allison said as she emerged at the top of the stairs with PC Smith and WPC Friedman right behind her.

"Never mind that now! Someone get an EMT, Calum has been shot twice, and can someone take her away?" Gabriella ordered. PC Smith grabbed Karen from Gabriella's clutches and led her away. Gabriella immediately ran to Calum who was still lying still. She checked his airways and pulse,"He's still breathing, and there's a pulse, but barely," Gabriella told Tanya, who was crouched down beside him too, "Calum! Can you hear me? It's Gabriella! Hold on Cal, we're going to get you to a hospital and you're going to be fine, okay? Just try and stay with us," Calum's eyes kept switching open, then closed as the EMT's arrived.

"What do we have?" The EMT asked Gabriella.

"Nineteen year old Male, two gunshot wounds. One to his right shoulder, the other to his abdomen. He's been like this approximately five minutes and keeps drifting in and out of consciousness," Gabriella informed them professionally.

"Name?" The EMT asked as he applied pressure to Calum's wounds. The other EMT got the gurney ready.

"Calum Jones," Gabriella replied.

"Thank you, Detective," They said politely before loading him onto the gurney (A/N: A stretcher) and carrying him from the cellar and up to the Ambulance. Gabriella walked behind them and jumped in the ambulance with him.

"You're going to be okay, Calum," Gabriella assured him as he took her hand,"I know it,"

"Gabs, take care of Hayls and the baby," Calum croaked out.

"You'll be able to do that for me, Calum. Just stay strong," Gabriella told him sternly, before wiping tears from her eyes.

"I can do that," He replied softly before falling to sleep again.

Okay, guys so there you have it! Calum is rescued and you know who took him. For those wondering whether or not Calum is going to die still, you will find out in the next chapter! Around 35 percent of you guessed correctly. 10 percent were close and the others...not so close! LOL. So thanks you guys for all your guesses, please review!!!
