I really like Jon's plan to find Brie. Also I like how all his friends are helping. JJ is an asshole and he should see how unhappy and depressed Brie is, but he doesn't care. I hope when Brie is found, Jon kicks Bryan and JJ's ass.

Congrats and please keep on reviewing!

Chapter 36- Searching for Brie

The next day with their plan in motion, Jon, Renee, and the boys were sitting at their hotel room in Phoenix after a very long flight in. They would have gotten in sooner, but with the amount of people flying, they had gotten bumped to later flight and had to deal with two crying grump children at the airport. Needless to say Renee and Jon were both beat by the time they checked into their hotel, but it meant that Jon was just one step closer to finding Brie.

"Jon are you sure don't want to stay in tonight and just relax instead of going over to Brie's moms? If Brie is there don't you think you need to be well rested and level headed so that you guys can work this out?" Renee asked Jon as he got ready to leave. Renee was going to stay back with the boys and feed them dinner.

"Yes I'm very sure Renee. I just want to get there and not waste any more time because Brie might actually be there, but I also know that there's a chance that she won't be," Jon sighed.

Renee took pity on the man and walked up to him wrapping her arms around him, "Hey it's okay I know that you are nervous. The woman that you love is missing and you so desperately want her to be somewhere all safe and sound. You just need to keep thinking positive and know that I will be there every step of the way. You need to be strong for Brie and the boys."

Jon just hugged Brie back and thanked the stars that he had her there with him, "Thanks Renee I really needed that because you are right in saying that I need to keep thinking positively. I keep having these questions of doubt in my head like what if I pushed Brie too hard to move in with me and what if she doesn't want to be with me anymore, but I know that's just my fear at work and I can't keep thinking like that."

"That is true and you are never going to find out if Brie is okay if you don't go out and look for her. You guys have a life and two boys to think about and I know that a simple little move wouldn't cause Brie to jeopardize that. You just need to find her and talk to her." Renee told him.

"Exactly and that's just what I am going to do," Jon smiled. Just then they heard the bedroom door open and out walked James and Xavier who were just waking up from their nap. "Hey guys feeling all better?" Jon then asked the boys taking them into his arms.

The boys just nodded and James asked, "Dada we go see mommy?"

Jon cringed knowing that he couldn't tell his son the truth because he didn't know himself what the truth was. Unable to think of anything, Jon just kissed his son's head and said, "Later buddy but for now you guys are going to stay with Renee. She's going to take you two swimming while I go run errands for a bit."

"Yeah guys I promise you that we are going to have a great time while your daddy is out. Now how about we go put on bathing suits and go for a swim downstairs okay," Renee told the boys and took them to the bedroom but not before mouthing 'Good Luck' to Jon.

Knowing that the boys were in great hands, Jon grabbed his jacket and keys and headed out to Kathy's house. He knew that things were going to be a little iffy considering that he stormed out of her house the last time he was there, but Jon hoped that Kathy was going to be help and tell him where Brie was.

Pulling into her driveway, Jon let out a deep breath and got out of the car praying that Brie was just beyond the confides of Kathy's house. Walking up to the door and shaking off the butterflies that were in his stomach, Jon knocked on the door and waited for Brie to answer the phone. Unfortunately that wasn't the case because Kathy ended up opening the door and boy did she look pissed.

"You, what the hell are you doing here?" she said in disgust as she looked at Jon. After the way he brainwashed her daughter, Kathy wanted nothing to do with this man.

Taking a step back out of fear, Jon rubbed the bad of his head nervously and said, "Umm…hey Kathy it's nice to see you again. Is Brie here, because I really need to talk to her?"

"No why would she be here considering the huge fight that we had the other day. I can't believe you turned my daughter against me and you want to take her and the boys away from me," Kathy said angrily desperately wanting to kick the young man's ass.

"Whoa just wait right there, I didn't brainwash anyone okay. What Brie does and what she wants to do is all on her. Look can I just come inside and we can talk about this?" Jon asked wanting to get to the bottom of everything. Not wanting her neighbors to talk, Kathy quickly ushered Jon inside and they went into the kitchen to talk. "Alright now that we are alone, what's this about you and Brie fighting?" Jon then asked her.

Kathy just looked at Jon in disgust, "We got into a fight because she told me that she was moving to Vegas with you and didn't like it. Vegas isn't a place to raise a family Jon. Not only that, but how could you ask Brie to move in with you and not even ask my opinion on the matter? I have basically been her back bone for the past two years."

Jon sat there blown away by what he heard Kathy say and even though he sort of understood where she was coming from, he still didn't like it, "Okay first off you act like I practically life on the strip, but in reality I don't. I live in a wonderful family oriented neighborhood and the boys and Brie absolutely love it there. I wonder never move my family to a place where they didn't feel comfortable. Secondly, Brie is a grown ass woman and I don't need to ask her mother permission to have her move in with me. I love Brie and I want us to be a proper family that lives together. One day we are going to get married and have more kids, but for now this is our next step. You are either going to accept it or you are going to have to step aside. Brie and the boys come first and I will not be separated from them."

"You have some nerve coming in my home and talking to me like that after everything I have done for you. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been allowed to date my daughter in the first place and you would have never had you two precious sons!" Kathy yelled at him.

"I can't believe that you just said that. My two precious sons as you called them are your grandsons, the grandsons that you are fighting to keep her with you. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have them in your life right now. You wouldn't have been able to see them be born which was probably a beautiful thing, you wouldn't have seen them crawl, walk, or talk for the first time. How could you hate me so bad when I helped give you two amazing grandsons whose pictures cover you home?" Jon asked Kathy with a lot of raw emotion in his voice.

Kathy sighed in defeat and sat down in the chair in front him, "I don't actually hate you Jon. The reason that I treat you like this is because I actually love you. From the first moment that you showed up on our doorstep all those years go asking for Brie, I knew that you were going to have a huge impact on our family. Even though Nikki and JJ did have a little bit of trouble with you, I loved you because you brought another side of my daughter that I hadn't seen before. When you two broke up it hurt me because I knew that we would lose a big part of our family and when Brie found Bryan, it just wasn't the same. I knew that he could never be you and fill the hole that you left. No matter what Jon you will always be my favorite son in law and no one will take that away from you."

Jon was taken back by what Kathy had told him and honestly he felt like crying. Growing up he had wanted to feel like he was a part of something and now here he was years later apart of a family that actually loved him. Even though he and his mom were cool now, Kathy and her family had made him feel loved and cherished. "Wow Kathy thanks that means lot to me. I have never heard anyone say those types of things to me. You and your family have helped me so much through the years and I could never repay you for it. However I do need to you ask you something and I hope that you can help me," he told Kathy as he reached out and took her hand in his.

"Yeah sure you can ask me anything. What's going on Jon?" Kathy asked slightly worried that something was wrong.

"It might not be anything really, but I need you to tell me where Brie is. She hasn't answered any of my phone calls since we parted ways and I am starting to get real worried," Jon said feeling that nervousness return to his stomach.

Kathy shook her head and said, "I can't tell you where she is Jon, because I don't know where she is myself. I tried calling her to apologize, but I got her voicemail every time. Let me call Nikki and see if she has seen her."

Pulling out her phone, Kathy quickly dialed her eldest daughter's number. "Hey mom how's it going?" Nikki said answering the phone a few seconds later.

"It's going alright for now, but listen have you heard from your sister at all? Jon just showed up looking for her and she isn't answering any of phone calls," Kathy told her daughter.

"No mom I haven't heard from her at all. I didn't even know that she was in town. Have you tried calling JJ and asking him?" Nikki said thinking of people who Brie could have contacted.

Kathy sighed and said, "No but he wouldn't know where he is either considering that he is out of town visiting a friend. This isn't like your sister Nikki and I'm afraid that something might be wrong. Do you have any other ideas of where she could be?"

Nikki thought about it for a second and came up with one possible answer, "How about her house? I mean I know that she and Bryan broke up, but they do still own the house right? Maybe Brie is there doing who knows what."

"Yeah they do and she might actually be there packing. Listen Jon and I are going to head there now, do you think you can meet us there?" Kathy asked knowing that if Brie wasn't there they would Nikki's help to find her.

"Sure I'll meet you guys there in a few minutes," Nikki told her mother before hanging up the phone.

Once Kathy hung up her line, Jon turned to her and asked, "What did Nikki say?"

Kathy shook her head sadly and said, "Nikki hasn't seen her either, but she did suggest that we go check out her and Bryan's old house. She is going to meet us there to help look for Brie."

"But what if we don't find her there Kathy? What are we going to do?" Jon asked in fear as they gathered up their things to leave.

"Then we call the police, it's that simple," Kathy told him hoping that didn't have to happen.

Sighing, Jon just followed Kathy out the door and to her car. As they drove Jon made sure to text Renee and fill her in on the situation. Bring her ever positive self, Renee texted Jon back telling him to remain positive and hope for the best. Jon was so lucky to have a friend like her in his life.

By the time they pulled into the driveway of Brie's old house, Nikki was already there waiting for them. "Hey mom, Jon, I just got here a few minutes before you did. Are you ready to do this?" she asked them once they got out of the car.

"Yes let's just hope that she's here packing or something and forgot to charge her phone," Kathy said as they walked up to the door and knocked.

"Why would she be packing? She is selling the house and moving somewhere else?" Nikki asked in confusion.

Jon shook his head and said, "Yeah she is moving in with me in Vegas. We want to try to be a normal family."

Nikki just looked at Jon in disbelief, "You have got to be kidding me right? You seriously want to rip my sister and nephews from the only home that they have ever known. Where are James and Xavier anyways?"

"They are staying at my hotel with a good friend of mine for the time being and I am not trying to rip them from anyone or anywhere. This was a decision that Brie and I made together and I don't give a damn about what everyone else thinks. Now if you'll excuse me I have a missing girlfriend to find," Jon said already fed up with the situation and walked to the back of the house when no one answered the door.

Kathy who was smirking at Jon's behavior and a stunned Nikki just followed him and watched as Jon forcibly kicked open the back door. Now gaining access to the house, Jon, Kathy, and Nikki began searching for their loved one. Room by room they checked for Brie, but they couldn't find her. As they were doing this, Kathy couldn't help but notice a smell of bleach like someone had just cleaned and it worried her a little bit.

Suddenly Jon and Kathy heard Nikki shouting for them and they both quickly too off towards her direction. They finally found Nikki in the master bedroom staring at some blood drop and a smeared red stain that was on floor by the door.

"Oh my god is that blood," Kathy gasped bringing her hands to her mouth.

"Yeah it is and I also found a small bottle of bleach in the bathroom with some blood stains on it too. "Mom I think something bad happened here," Nikki then said with tears in her eyes.

Knowing her daughter was right, Kathy looked up at Jon and saw all the color drain from his face, because he too had believed Nikki. Something bad had happened to Brie and now it was time to inform the police.

Oh man I can't believe that Jon and Kathy got into a fight, but they made up in the end and that's all that matters. I'm glad that Kathy doesn't hate Jon and feels like he is just like another son to her. They are going to need each other because now that they know that something has happened Brie, they are going to need all of the support that they can get.
