A/N I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!

"Who is Hunter Lake?"

"He is a criminal. He's taken advantage of several women already. This would be the first time it was a minor though."

"Oh dear."

Lucille walked over and sat on the table again. She placed her hand on Gabriella's leg. Gabriella whimpered and pulled her leg away.

"Listen sweetie it is very important you answer John's questions. Hunter Lake is a very bad man and if you tell us everything you may help the police catch him."

John came back over as well.

"Gabriella can you tell me what Hunter looked like?"

"Snake."

"He had a tattoo of a snake?"

Gabriella nodded.

"Where?"

Gabriella pointed to Troy's right arm.

"On his right arm?"

Gabriella nodded.

"Good Gabriella, ok what else can you tell me?"

"Skull and cross bones."

"He had more tattoos of a skull and cross bone?"

Gabriella nodded and pointed to Troy's left arm.

"On his left arm ok. You're doing really well Gabriella. Keep going was he heavy?"

Gabriella nodded. "And tall…he wore a lot of black and…a spiky dog collar around his neck and chains hanging from his belt loop."

"Good Gabriella. Very, very good. Is there anything else you want to tell us?"

"His voice was really gruff. It scared me."

"All right Gabriella. I'm very proud of you. You did a good thing. Can you do me one more favor."

Gabriella shrugged. "I just need you to take a look at my notes and make sure I got all the facts right?"

Gabriella took the paper but stayed close to Troy. She looked over the pad and nodded before handing it back.

"Everything is correct. I'm sorry I was shy."

"Don't be sorry. You answered the questions and did what you had to do. You should be very proud of yourself."

"Ok."

"Ok last question. This one is very, very important and you need to answer honestly ok?"

"Ok."

"Did Hunter ever rape you or did he just touch you?"

"He just touched me. I got away before he could do worse."

"All right. One more thing and I promise this will be the last. I have a photo I want you to look at. If you don't want to speak that is all right but I need to know if the man in this photo is the same one who has been hurting you ok?"

Gabriella nodded and looked at John. He handed her a photo. Gabriella took one look at the picture and gasped. She turned her head and buried her face in Troy's neck again.

"That's him that's the man who touched me."

"All right Gabriella I'm very proud of you. You just helped a lot of people. "Do you have any idea where Hunter might be."

Gabriella shrugged. "He has been going to my house to wait for my mom to come home."

"All right. Thanks you Gabriella you are very brave."

"She get's that from her father." A voice said.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Jack. He had the will in his hands. John took the paper and read them over.

"All right Gabriella is good. I do have a question for both of you. Because Gabriella is a minor I will ask you. There might be a trial for Hunter if there is will you allow Gabriella to testify?"

"That would be up to Gabriella. If she ok with it then so are we."

"No, no I don't want to testify." Gabriella cried.

"Ok well thank you for all your help today. Enjoy the rest of your evening."

John left. Lucille and Jack went into the living room and hugged the teens.

"See everything is going to be ok now."

"Thank you Uncle Jack and Auntie Lucille."

"You're welcome sweetie."

"Mom can I call Ryan over? He was worried about Gabriella when we left."

"Sure. I'll start some dinner."

Lucille and Jack went into the kitchen. Kelsi ran to the phone and called Ryan. He was there within five minutes. The four of them decided to cuddle on the couch and watch a movie. When the movie was over they all just looked at each other with no idea what to do.

"We could play basketball." Troy suggested.

"Do you think of anything other than basketball?" Gabriella teased.

"Yes. You."

"Aww how sweet yet so cheesy."

"Oh so you think that's cheesy? Do you think this is cheesy?"

Troy started to tickle Gabriella on her sides. She squealed and burst into giggles.

"N-no Tr-Troy! Kel-Kelsi he-help!"

"You got yourself into this mess. You can get yourself out."

"You're just scared because you know Troy will tickle you next." Ryan teased.

"Oh shut up big head."

"Ok now you're in for it."

Ryan started to tickle her too. Ever since the day she gave him a bloody nose he never tickled her feet she attacked her next most ticklish spot her sides.

"Ry-Ryan sto-stop"

"Nope."

Both girls giggled and squirmed as their boyfriends tickled them.

"What do you think Ryan should we give them a break?" Troy asked.

"I don't know. Are you girls sorry?"

"N-no!" Gabriella giggled.

"Ye-yes…yes sto-stop!" Kelsi laughed.

Ryan laughed and stopped. Troy continued. He looked at Ryan. "Hey Ryan hold her arms for me?" Troy stopped letting Gabriella catch her breath. Ryan went over and held Gabriella's arms over head.

"NO! RYAN DON'T! KELSI STOP HIM!"

"I'm staying out of it Gabi."

Troy smirked and attacked Gabriella's waist. She shrieked and burst into laughter.

"N-NO! STO-STOP!"

"Say you're sorry for calling me cheesy and that I'm the sweetest guy in the world."

Gabriella was laughing so hard she couldn't get any air into her lungs.

"STO-STO- STOP I'LL…I'LL SA-SAY I-IT!"

Troy finally stopped and Gabriella panted. For air.

"I…hate…you"

Troy laughed. "I love you too."

When she finally got her breath back she said "Troy Bolton you are sweetest man in the world and I love you soo much."

"Wow Brie."

"I'm serious Troy. I wouldn't have made it through any of this if it wasn't for you and Kelsi. You guys were there for me even when I pulled away and I'm very thankful to have such great friends like you."

"We love you too Gabriella."

They shared a group hug.

"The Terrible Three Forever!"
