RING RING

Jake turned over and picked up the phone in the hotel room.

"Hello," He said into the receiver.

"Is this Jacob Bailey," The person on the other line asked.

"Yes it is, what can I do for you," Jake asked. They were staying in a hotel in a nearby town.

"Jacob, would you please come to the receptionists desk, the police are here to see you," The person on the other line said.

"Yes, I'll be right there," Jake said getting up out of the bed.

"Honey, where are you going," Manny said putting her hand on his arm.

"The cops are here to see me at the front desk," Jake said.

"I'm coming," Manny said getting up and putting her robe on.

"No, you have to stay here with the girls," Jake said standing up.

"Please Jake, I have to know what happened," Manny pleaded.

"Fine, just lock the door. Luckily its late so the girls won't be awake," Jake said grabbing the keys to the room.

He and Manny then walked down the hall and to the front desk where they saw two cops standing and also a man in a suit.

"Jacob Bailey," The man asked.

"Yes. And this is my wife Manuela," Jake said putting his arm around Manny.

"Hello, I'm Detective Johnson, I need to talk to you two about Gavin Mason and Craig Manning," Detective Johnson said.

"Okay," Manny said shaking his hand.

"If you'd just come over with me into this room, both of you and take a seat," Detective Johnson said pointing to an office.

Manny and Jake followed him into the office and sat down in the chairs across from the desk.

"Okay, how do you know Craig Manning and Gavin Mason," Detective Johnson asked.

"They are the fathers of my children and I have dated them both," Manny said honestly.

"And where are these children," Detective Johnson asked.

"They're sleeping in our hotel room, we didn't want to wake them up," Jake said nervously.

"Okay. How did this whole situation start," Detective Johnson asked.

"I dated Craig for a little while, but then I decided I didn't want to share him with another girl, so I dated Spinner, and while we were together, we had a child, her name is Alexis, and then Craig kidnapped her and took her to L.A., I went to get her and while I was there was raped and became pregnant with my second child, Emily," Manny said.

"Go on," Detective Johnson said.

"Well, Spinner came and physically hurt me and told me he wanted his daughter back, but he abandoned me so I didn't want to let him see her, I was scared he would take her away from me. So Jake and I got restraining orders against the two and also temporary sole custody of the girls," Manny said finishing what she was saying.

"Okay, and how did you know they were coming to get the girls and kill Manny," Detective Johnson asked.

"Spinner called and warned us," Jake said.

"Okay. How old are the children," Detective Johnson asked taking notes.

"Alexis is two and a half, and Emily is 8 months," Manny said.

"And you two," Detective Johnson asked.

"I'm seventeen, and Jake is eighteen," Manny said.

"Okay. I also have some bad news before I go," Detective Johnson said.

"Yes," Manny asked curiously.

"Gavin Mason was shot during the break in trying to protect the decoy of you, Manuela," Detective Johnson said.

"Is he okay," Manny asked.

"He's gone Manuela. I'm sorry," Detective Johnson said as they walked out of the office.

Upon hearing this Manny crumpled to the ground and Jake bent down next to her and she sobbed into his shoulder.
