Passions: Through the Television (chapter 6)
*Note: I found that some of the readers of this fic were a little worried that my last chapter (chapter 5) was, in fact, my last chapter. Don't worry. You'll know when the whole saga is over. In fact, to put your mind truly at ease, when this whole thing is over I'll write '~*End of Passions: Through the Television*~' Thanks!! :)
So, the Bennett house had been totaled. Down to the ground.
But to the relief of the Bennetts, Jacob offered to get some supplies from the 'his' family, the Cranes if they could pulled together a group to help bulid the house.
"Sam and his family has done so much for Harmony. When people hear what weird and crazy things happened that detroyed your house, people will be happy to help." TC said honestly.
Jacob and I stood up and I said, "Well, as fun as this has been, we really should be going."
Charity stood up and put her hand on my arm as she said, "You make sure you come and visit us now. I mean, when the house gets re-bulit, okay?"
I smiled and said, "You kidding Charity?! Me and Jacob will both be down at your house re-building!"
Charity smiled and Grace said, "Aw Christy, you just met us. You both really don't have to-"
"We insist Mrs. Bennett." Jacob said, "Now I know that my family isn't the town's pride and joy but unlike my father I know how but Cheif Bennett has done for our police force."
Sam stood up and shook Jacob's hand as he said, "I really appericate what you both have done for my family."
After we left we heard them talking about what could have caused all of it.
Jacob and I just ignored it. We both took deep breathes. Jacob and I held hands as we walked down the sidewalk. "So what now?" Jacob asked me.
"To tell you the truth," I said, "I'm not sure. How long do you think we should wait until we get into the Crane libarey and get the recording? I mean, we don't even know if they are going to say anything to revil the true killer of Martin Fitsgareld anytime soon."
"I know." Jacob said, "I figure, if we read the previews and try and keep tabs on were Julian is, we might be able to find out."
"Well then," I replied, "We should read the previews. What time is it?" I asked.
"It's..." Jacob looked at his watch and said, "8:23pm."
"Wow." I said, "I didn't know that it was that late already."
"Yeah," Jacob started, "You know what they say, time flies when you're having fun."
"Right." I said grinning. "Okay, I say we go and grab a coffee at the Bookcafe and look at the previews."
"Works for me." Jacob said.
So we got there and ordered our drinks. We sat in that same booth and I opened my laptop. I logged on and pulled up the preview screen:
"Sheridan and Luis arive in Spain. Theresa gets fitted for her dream wedding gown with Whitney who is also getting fitted, but for ther maid of honer gown. Ethan and Chad both get fitted for their tuxes. Spring has srung in Harmony and the Bennetts round up a group to re-build their house. Jacob and Christy are invited to the Theresa and Ethan wedding. Alistair and Julian talk in the libaray about what to do about Luis and Sheridan."
Jacob andI looked at each other and I said, "They'll proably talk about it tonight or tomorrow."
"And we only had enough recording tape on that cassette until about noon tomorrow." Jacob paused to think, "So when do you think we should get in and get the tape?"
"Well," I thought for a moment, "Tomorrow morning I'll come over to your house and we'll keep tabs on Julian. When Julian is not paying attiention you go in and get that tape. Sound good?"
"Yeah," Jacob said, "All but one thing. What about Alistair? He could see me get the tape back."
Just pretend like you're looking at books or something." I said, "He won't be looking for anything fishy. It won't be as risky as it was when you put it in there because it won't take as long."
"Okay," Jacob conceded, "Sounds good. And after that I give you the tape and you bring it back to your place and hid it because we won't have time to listen to it right away."
"Why not?" I asked.
"Because we said that we'd help the Bennetts." Jacob reminded me.
"Okay." I said, "But what I don't understand is how it is going to turn into spring over night. I mean, isn't it still January?"
"Well," Jacob answered, "You know how the days are in Harmony."
"Yeah," I agreed, "I guess you're right."
"Well," Jacob said looking up, "What should we do now?"
"I don't know." I said. I yawned and then said, "I'm actually very tired after today and plus, we should get up early tomorrow. And, you can snoop around the Crane Mansion."
"Alright. Lets go." Jacob replied.
So we got up and walked outside. We both had to go our separte ways and so he kissed me goodnight and then we both went home.
**The Next Mornibg**
I got up nice and early that morning. I had a lot of work to do.
So I opened my window and felt the beeze. It was unbelieveable how warm it was. All the snow had disapeared over night. It was turly amazing.
But I could not dwell on that because I had work to do.
So I slipped on a pair of jeans that had holes in the knees and a hot pink T-shirt. I figured that it might still be alittle chilly so I grabbed my blue jacket.
So then I made sure to grab my laptop too before I left. I quickly checked the previews to make sure that there was no change since last night. Nope, no change.
So then I headed out the door and to the Crane Mansion.
I knocked on the door and sure enough, Jacob answered the door. "Hey Christy!" He said, ushering me inside.
"How is everything?" I asked.
He leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Julian is in his room with Rebecca and Ethan is off somewhere so I am going to go and get the casstte now."
"Gotcha." I agreed, "I'll be look-out."
"Okay. Stand outside the door." Jacob went in and I reminded him to look like he was getting a book from the self in case Alistair was watching him more closely than we then. He nodded.
I only had to wait a few moments until he came out with the tape. "Got it." He said.
"Good." I answered, "Give it to me and then I'll bring it to my place and we'll listen to it later. You have to get some stuff for the Bennetts."
"Yep." He agreed, "I just gotta get together a few more things and then I am going to go down there. I'll meet you there."
We walked to the door and he said, "See you in a few. And be careful with that tape."
"I will." I answered honestly.
So I went back to my apartment and hid the tape. I put it underneath the matress in my bed.
Then I thought that I would be working at the Bennetts so I shoudl change shirts so I don't ruin this one. I put on an older white T-shirt.
So then I left and started to the Bennetts. Half the town was there. The Bennetts, of course, were there. Along with all of the Russels, Chad, Reese, Tabby and Timmy, Miguel, and of course, Jacob.
"Look, Christy's here!" Charity said, giving me a small hug.
"Hi Charity." I said with a smile.
"Jacob has already been a big help." Charity said, "He said you'd be here and he was right."
"I wouldn't miss helping out here!" I answered.
Miguel came by Charity's side and said, "Charity hasn't had any bad premonitions or anything since you helped us out yesturday."
Then Jacob came up to me and grabed my hand. Sam then said, "Alright, let's get started!" Sam assigned us each something to do. And throughout the day as more and more people heard about what happened to the Bennett, more and more people came to help.
By the end of the day we had so many people helping we had the basic sturucture of the house done. It proably went faster because the writers couldn't have the Bennetts living with the Russels forever.
"Okay guys. I think we're done for today." Sam said around 6:00pm. "Anyone who's willing can come and help out same time tomorrow."
As people started walking away Jacob and I came up to Sam and Jacob said, "At this rate we will be done soon."
"You're right Jacob." Sam agreed, "And just so you know, you're not like the rest of your family."
Jacob grinned and said, "Sheridan, Ethan, and I seem to have minds of our own."
Sam nodded even though he didn't really agree about Ethan he just said, "Yeah, I guess you're right."
So Jacob and I started walking away and then Jacob said, "So now do you want to go to your place and listen to the tape?"
"Yes!" I exclaimed, "I can't take the suspence any longer!"
Jacob smiled and said, "I know what you mean."
So we walked to my place and I opened the door. We sat down and I got out the hidden tape. Jacob grabbed my casette player and handed it to me. We turned the volume down so that only we could hear it. We both leaned in to listen as I hit the play button.
It was silent for awhile because no one was talking in the libaray. So then we fast-fowarded it until we heard talking. While it fast-forwarded it we talked. "I hope this tape has the niformation we need to put away Alistair and Julian." I said.
Jacob nodded and agreed as he said, "Yeah. I hope it was worth the trouble."
When we heard talking on the tape, i pressed play again. We made sure we heard it all. This is what was said:
"Julian: Yes father?
Alistair: You're a disgrace to the Crane name Julian.
Julain: And what is the reason you say that this time father?
Alistair: Do you know where your sister and Luis Lopez-Fitsgareld are right now?"
Julian: They are proably at the cottage, aren't they father?
Alistair: They just arived in Spain. Together for a vacation.
Julian: What?!
Alistair: And you knew nothing about it. What a stupid son I have.
Julian: What do we do now father?
Alistair: Well, what we did for the father of Luis worked, so why not try that when they get back?
Julian: What? Kill Luis? Father that's insane.
Alistair: Is it really Julian, is it really? It worked the first time. The only problem we had with it the first time was nosey Sheridan seeing the body under a bloody sheet. But Sheridan thought that she killed Luis's father until Eve lied to her.
Julian: Aren't you forgetting something father? The body remember?
Alistair: So what? No one is going to take apart the gazebo. We're safe Julian. So now, I am leaving it to you to deicded how to dispose of Luis Lopez-Fitsgareld when he returns with your sister. Luis will never stop looking for answers to his questions about his father. It's better just to dispose of him all together. Unless, you want to spend a lifetime in prison.
Julian: Of course not father.
There was a breif pause
Julian: When Luis and my sister gets back I will see to it that he is taken care of.
Alistair: Good."
-End of tape.
I pressed stop. Jacob and i did not know what to say.
"We got it." We both suddenly said at the same time.
"What do we do now?" Jacob asked, "Do we mail the tape to Luis or what?"
I thought for a moment and then said, "No! I got it. This is what we do. We take this tape and have Cheif Bennett hear it. He can take care of it from there. We can help him out alot but there is no way we can do all of it on our own."
Jacob agreed and said, "I think you're right. This is too deep. Too dangerous."
"Okay," I said, taking a breathe. "We'll take him the tape tomorrow. Sound good?"
"Good." Jacob agreed. "You hide the tape for now."
"Okay." Jacob got up to leave and we said goodbye.
Then Jacob said, "I'll come over tomorrow morning and we'll go together."
"Okay." I agreed.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Jacob said as he left.
I got on my PJ's and laid down on my bed. I stared at the ceiling and thought.
Then I said aloud to myself, "Tomorrow, we save Harmony." Then I looked out my window and said, "Or what's left of it."
End of Chapter 6
