Chapter 38

The door opened and Shawn, Phil, and Jason came running in the door. Shawn saw Kyle's bandaged arm and asked what happened. Then he saw Belle's face and ran over there. Belle asked him what he is doing there.

He said mom called and said that you girls needed us here to hurry and get here. Phil and Jason were standing back cause Chloe and Mimi weren't in the room. Then Mimi walked through the door and Jason saw her eye and

ran over there. He asked if she was okay. She just started crying and telling him how scared he was.

Hope then walked in with Chloe and Philip ran to her. Jason and Shawn's mouth dropped when they saw Chloe's face. Both sides of her face were bruised but the one was really swollen and it was completely black and

blue. The boys sat there and held the girls while they heard what happened in class. They said they were staying for Court the next day. They wanted to go after Chris but Abe told them it would make matters worse. The pizza got there and JT came back with the movie only to give them more bad news.

Someone had broken into the girls apartment cause there are cops over there. They drove over there and the place was ransacked but in each of the girls rooms there was a letter.

Everyone packed into the cars and headed to Grandma Horton's house to stay so they would be safe. They awoke the next morning and headed to court. Gran and Jen wished them luck because they were staying with the babies.

COURT

John and Marlena, the Lockharts, and Craig and Nancy were all waiting for their children to arrive. Court was scheduled to start at 1. The girls walked and their parents were horrified to see their little girls. It was 5 to 1 and still no Chris. His father and lawyer were sitting there but no Chris. So the Judge sent out a Bench Warrant for him. And he rescheduled Court for tomorrow at 1.

Meanwhile at the Horton's

The babies were down for their naps and Gran and Jen were holding Nathan who wouldn't sleep and drinking tea. They didn't hear someone sneak in the front door. Chris walked upstairs and grabbed Rianna.

Marlena and Belle walked in the Horton house to hear a baby crying so Belle went upstairs to find only 4 babies. She yelled down to Mrs. Horton to see where the other babies were. Mrs. Horton says 5 of them are up there sleeping I have Nathan down here. Belle started screaming

SOMEONE HAS RIANNA. MOM SHE IS GONE.
