So this is Chapter 6. In this chapter, we learn who was behind Finn's capture. Who was it? Read on to find out. Also there is something in this chapter, that you must remember for the future.
Chapter 6: A Bloody Bill.
Sam's POV.
So Rachel came storming out of Finn's hospital room in floods of tears. I guess it didn't go well when she had to tell Finn the truth about what had happened. I mean we all think that she had made a mistake when she married Jesse because none of us thought and we still think that Jesse only likes her for her talent and that if she wasn't talented at all, he would have completely ignored her. That is what it is like in New York, you aren't a person there you are just a potential talent merchant. If you don't have talent, you are never going to make it in New York and it is a cut-throat world. I never felt comfortable there.
I took over the Glee Club after Mr Schue went to Carmel when Sue cut the funding for the Glee Club and so Mr Schue took over Vocal Adrenaline. He was doing it for the upkeep of his young son Daniel. It was a personal decision; the Camel job offered more money and better resources. It was too tough to turn down. Although when the Principal Job at Mickingly became vacant, he went for that and got the job. So I revived it and got Rachel in to help with the new recruitment. It worked out well and the new New Directions won the Nationals title.
There were a few reasons for wanting to revive the Glee Club. One was because it got me some money whilst I tried to help my fledging music career. Two and the reason of drafting in Rachel was because I did have a crush on her and I wanted to try and be a good man for her. She had fallen on tough times and so I tried to give her a way out. I also did love her and I tried to love her in the way that Finn did which was my third reason because I wanted to make him proud. He was one of my closest friends in Glee particularly in his Senior Year when he and Rachel got me back for that year and then when they passed the lead onto me for my final year. Finn would have made an excellent teacher and leader of Glee and I tried to do my best to preserve his legacy. I am also starting to have ideas about starting a new band up in order to take my career forward.
I decide to go into Finn's hospital room with Mike. As the only two single guys here, we decide to go and talk to Finn. He might need some help.
We get in and Finn is lying on his side, clearly in tears. He looks like someone who has given up on life. He is facing away but Mike leans over and tries to begin talking to him. He needs us now as we can see, he is clearly in physical and emotional discomfort.
Mike: "Hey there Finn."
Finn: "Sam, Mike. Why are you in here?"
Mike: "We wanted to come and say hello. We know what happened Finn."
Finn: "With Rachel? I know I should have known that this would happen. I've never been good enough for her."
Sam: "Just stop putting yourself down Finn. I can't imagine what you went through but you are stronger than any person that I know. I tried to get with her whilst you were gone though."
Finn: "The thing is though that I know that you would have been perfect for Rachel. You are very similar to me and would have been the calming influence that she would have needed. Not that Jackass."
Sam: "(Smiling) Thanks Finn. Everyone did warn her that Jesse isn't the person that she thinks he is but she didn't listen. You were my inspiration when I was Captain of Glee. I wanted to do you and Rachel justice. We did our entire Nationals set list to your favourite songs. We came 2nd though."
Finn: "I appreciate the tribute. I would have loved to hear it in person."
Sam: "Your mother who helped with the costumes did tell me about how lucky I am that I get to live my life. It was the most important lesson that I was taught and I do it every day when I teach the Glee kids."
Finn: "You're the teacher now."
Sam: "Mr Schue is now the Principal after briefly coaching Vocal Adrenaline after Sue cut the club after we lost Nationals. I restarted it after New York didn't work out. Mike is the choreographer and runs his own dance company."
Finn: "Congratulations Mike."
Mike: "Thanks Finn. It was always my passion to dance and being a professional dancer is what my dream is all about. My Mom is always helping out as well with dancing when she can."
Finn: "Your Mom?"
Mike: "She told me that she wanted to be a dancer as well but her parents wouldn't allow it and so she pushed me with my dream because she didn't achieve her dream."
Finn: "That is great guys. (Looks down.)"
Sam: "(Starts to get concerned.) Is something wrong Finn?"
Finn: "It is just hearing everyone's dreams and that everyone else has achieved or is on their way to achieving theirs. And then there is me who has no direction, no future, no hope. I feel like I'm destined to be a Lima Loser."
Sam: "You won't be Finn. One of Stacey's favourite songs is The Climb by Miley Cyrus and she played it recently and the lyric that says 'ain't about how fast I get there, ain't about what's waiting on the other side. It's the Climb.' Your climb might be more difficult, a steeper journey, a longer travel but you will get there in the end."
Mike: "We are all behind you Finn. We are your friends. Friends are there, not for when times are grand but friends are there for when you need a shoulder to cry on."
Finn: "Thank you both. Can I have a hug please?"
We give him a hug and then leave.
Puck's POV.
After Sam and Mike go in to see Finn, Quinn and I go in afterwards.
Finn: "Hey isn't it Quinn and Puck? How are you guys?"
Quinn: "We are doing well."
Puck: "Doing as well as we can anyway? I'm sorry Finn."
Finn: "For what Puckerman?"
Puck: "For letting you go unaided that day when you headed out."
Finn: "Puck. Don't hold it against you. You didn't know what was going to happen that day. No-one did. I hear you are in the Air Force now."
Puck: "Well was. Retired this year after full service. I was able to get a law degree at the same time as my service and looking to become a lawyer."
Quinn: "I'm working in the real-estate business after Yale and now we are back together."
Finn: "I'm happy for you guys. How is Beth?"
Puck: "Doing well. She is 10 so in school but we do see her regularly. Shelby has agreed to let us see Beth regularly. But we've also got more news."
Finn: "What is it?"
Quinn: "(Shows him her ring.) We're engaged."
Finn: "Found the balls within you now Puckerman. Congratulations to you both. How did he do it?"
Quinn: "He took me on holiday to Hawaii for my birthday this year and on my birthday itself, he proposed."
Finn: "When is the wedding?"
Puck: "July 17th next year. I want you to be my best man."
Finn: "I'm so happy for you both. If I'm fit and healthy, I will be your best man. (Gives each of them a hug and then they leave.)"
Once we leave, we go and see Sam and Mike in the parking lot, they are suspecting over a piece of paper which looks like a bill.
Puck: "What does it say?"
Sam: "It says to call Jordan Colman on this number. It says to discuss an important matter."
Puck: "Where did you find it?"
Mike: "It had been dropped where we were all sitting and it wasn't there before?"
Um this is suspicious.
Puck: "How about we go home and dial this number?"
Sam: "I agree."
Quinn: "Me too."
Mike: "Me three."
We all get into my car and head back to our place to discover what is going on with the mystery number. As the trainee lawyer, I take the call and then have a pen and piece of paper with me for notes.
The phone rings once, twice. On the third ring, a response is heard.
Jordan: "Hello, is this Jesse St James calling?"
So this is Jesse's piece of paper and friend? Interesting.
Puck: "No, this is his friend Noah Puckerman. He needed to go to the hospital and asked me to call you. This is Jordan Colman speaking right?"
Sounds believable doesn't it? It isn't a complete lie. Though he falls for it.
Jordan: "Yes it is. Okay, I needed to know if he knew the whereabouts of a certain Finn Hudson."
Got him!
Puck: (Keeps a poker face.) Finn Hudson? I know the name. Why are you asking?"
Jordan: "(Doesn't suspect a thing.) He was here yesterday and has been here for a long time. Jesse knew him as did a couple of other people but I am living with my three roommates and he was staying with us throughout our college and then Masters Degrees. We then found jobs in the area that we live in."
Puck: "Who are your roomates?"
Jordan: "Stephanie Jones, Oliver Wells and Jasmine Harper. Jesse said that the people that were in close contact with him were Brody Weston and Cassandra July."
Thanks mate. You have just incriminated yourself. See you in court.
Puck: "Well if I get news on him, I will call you back. See you later."
Jordan: "Thank you. (Hangs up.)"
Mike: "Well?"
Puck: "We found out who was holding Finn a hostage. It was the person who was on the piece of paper. Jesse was behind it all."
Sam: "Never trusted that man at all."
Quinn: "You are sneaky when you have to be Puck."
"Anything for my bro. The road to Finn's recovery has begun."
And it is all thanks to one bloody bill. Okay not covered in blood literally, but metaphorically. But Jesse is going to pay for what he has done.
So Jesse and Brody were both behind it. Also a Quick engagement in the chapter, some happiness. In the next chapter, the police learn what Puck has just discovered.
