Chapter 9:
Together again/The plan in action:
Earlier that day. The police station.
"Ok let me get this straight. You want us, to watch you disquise your self to be a gangster and then your going to get Jed Tangerman to confess of the crimes he's pulled without him knowing?" Sheriff Ron asked me.'
"Yes. For the 7th time yes. That is what I want you guys to do. I mean this guy almost killed me. He raped me. And he killed my friend's baby and father by running into them with his car. He belongs in jail." I explained getting parannoyed, since he kept asking me about the plan even though I explained it to him already.
"Ok. He raped you and he didn't go to jail? What's with them?" Ron asked.
"Sheriff. It was you who didn't think he belonged in jail. I'm sorry but you're wrong. He does belong in jail." I explained.
"Well we'll just have to see about that. We'll go along with your plan, but I really do not think we'll convince him." Ron said. Yeah well I'm the type of girl who likes to take chances. Unlike you chubbs.
"Yeah, well he belongs in jail. And we will convince you that he does." I said.
"Ok. Let's do this thing then." Ron finally said.
Back at the house.
"Ok. Great. So we'll meet you at Jen's house in an hour." Sharpay said talking to me on the phone.
"Ok. The police are already there. So I have to call Jen before she like starts freaking out. Cause she doesn't know about this yet." I explained.
"What? Gabi, Jen doesn't know about this?" Sharpay asked schocked. Yeah. That's what I said isn't it?
"Yeah. So bye." I said.
"K. bye." Sharpay said then we hung up.
I called Jen.
"Hey Gabriella, what's up?" Jen asked answering with caller id.
"Ok. Jen have police showed up at your house yet?" I asked sitting in the back of a police car. Which was a little odd.
"No...Wait. What? Police?" Jen asked confused.
"Ok. You know how we totally want Jed in jail where he belongs?" I asked.
"Yeah." Jen said still confused.
"Well we're setting him up. We are going to dress Troy up like a gangster. Then you are going to call Jed over to your house. And then Troy is going to walk up to him and ask him to be his partner in crime. So he asks him what crimes hes pulled in the past, and we are going to be taping it, and right once he confesses, the police that will be hiding around them will come and take him away. And plus we will be putting it live on tv for everyone to see. And at the police station so other officers can see too." I explained almost out of breath from saying all of that.
"Ah huh." Jen said as her she heard a knock on her door. "Oh well I guess that's the police. Are you coming?"
"Yep. I'm on my way with the sheriff. In fact were just about at your house. So I'll see you in just a minute." I said.
"Ok. Let's do this." Jen said then hung up.
"Is she ready for us?" Ron asked.
"Well I guess. I mean she had no idea of what we were doing but she's gonna go along with it." I explained.
"Ok. Were here." Ron said driving up to Jen's house, where like everyone already was.
"Wait a minute. You guys! Get all of the police cars in the backyard now! Before Jed sees. He lives right across the street! Get them back there!" I yelled rushing out of the car.
"Oh yeah! Everyone move it! Move it!" Sharpay yelled. Bye the time everyone got the police cars in the backyard, Troy was all dressed up in his disquise. But I was so cluleless I didn't even recognize him when he got out.
"Tay? Who is that?" I asked looking at him.
"Gabi, that's Troy." Taylor said laughing.
"What? Oh my. He doesn't look at all like him." I said giving him a hug.
"That's kind of the point." Taylor said.
"You look...different." I said checking him out.
"I feel different." Troy said. "But I'm ready...To get this over with."
"Ok. Well Jen, all you have to do is call Jed over." I said handing her my cell.
"Ok. Well everyone, positions!" Sharpay yelled. Everyone got in their spots. The police hood in the bushes, while me, Sharpay, Jen, Taylor, Chad, Zeke, and Kelsi hood in the garage.
"Hello Jed. Ya, well I have someone you would like to meet over at my house." I explained.
"Who is he?" Jed asked stuffing his mouth with like 3 doughuts at a time.
"Who is he? He's my...cousin. He's my cousin." Jen explained to him. "I'm going shopping and my cousin is looking for someone to hang out with. You two have a lot in common."
Me, Sharpay, Kelsi, and Taylor laughed a little.
"Well I'm in the middle of my 3rd breakfast, but I'll come over. What's his name?" Jed asked.
"His name?" Jen looked at us for an idea. I thought about it. I mouthed 'Ted'. "Ted."
"Ted?" Jed asked. Jed and Ted.
"Yep. Now I'm leaving now, and Ted is afraid to be home by himself so I suggest you hurry unless you want things to get ugly. Bye." Jen explained. We all looked at her with a face that said 'Ok then'
"Yeah, now I"m leaving and Ted is afraid to home by himself so I suggest you hurry unless you want things to get ugly." I said imitating her.
"Ok it wasn't the best excuse but just go with it." Jen said.
"Ok. You guys be quiet. Jed's here." Sharpay said hiding in the garage.
"Hey...Jed." Troy (Ted) said walking up to Jed.
"Hello...Ted (Troy)." Jed said.
"You know I'm looking for a guy to like be my partner in crime. I mean don't let my cousin know. I mean she thinks I'm just a goodie, goodie. And I was just wondering if you were interested. I do some pretty serious stuff." Troy explained.
"Well so do I." Jed said.
"And I was wondering what kind of stuff you do commit." Troy said. "What do you do?"
"Well I just a few months ago raped a girl, and tried to kill her. Her name was Gabriella Montez. And then I killed this baby boy, and his grandfather by running into them with my car, and I also killed some other people with my car. The boy's name was Jake, and the father's was...Uh...I don't know. But I also kidnapped 2 girls a a few days ago from some old people's house, and nobody still knows about it. I have them stashed in my cellar. Their names were Caitlyn and Jackie." Jed explained.
"What?" I tried not to yell. "He kidnapped Caitlyn!"
"Shh. Don't let him hear you." Sharpay and Taylro said.
"No! We have this on tape. I'm done. Everybody out!" I yelled running up to Jed.
Everyone came out of their hiding spots. Jed tried to run but they caught him.
"I can't believe you Jed! Give me Caitlyn back!" I yelled hitting him. "Give me my sister!"
"Whoa. She's your sister?" Jed asked trying to break free.
"YES! Now let her and that other girl go!" I yelled at him.
"I didn't know you had a sister." Jed said trying to break free some more.
"I didn't either until a little while ago. Now let her go!" I yelled kicking him in the shin.
"Ow!" Jed yelled in pain.
"Ok. Gabi. Calm down. Let's just go get her out of that house." Troy said pulling me to his house.
"Wait here's the key!" Jed said throwing us the key. Then I caught it.
"Thanks." I said but then kicked him again. Me and Troy ran into Jed's house.
"Ok. Where's the cellar?" I asked looking around. "Caitlyn?"
"Who's that?" Caitlyn whispered to Jackie in the cellar.
"Caitlyn? It's me Caitlyn! Gabriella!" I yelled.
"And Troy!" Troy yelled.
"Gabi!" Caitlyn yelled recognizing me.
"Caitlyn! Where are you!" I yelled looking around.
"In the cellar! It's in the kitchen. Just go through the green door that says 'FREE COOKIES RIGHT THROUGH THIS DOOR!'." Caitlyn explained.
"The kitchen." Troy said running into it.
"There it is." I said spotting the green door with the words 'FREE COOKIES RIGHT THROUGH THIS DOOR!'.
"Caitlyn. Were coming!" I yelled unlocking the door.
"Hurry! He has snakes crawling all over here." Caitlyn yelled crying. But then we got the door open and saw them surrounded by snakes. Poisenis snakes.
"Oh my god." I said stopping.
"They're posines. There's cobra's everywhere. And rattle snakes. Are you guys ok?" Troy yelled to them.
"Yes. But we're scared." Jackie cried.
"Yeah. Hurry!" Caitlyn yelled and started to cry.
"It's ok girls. Were gonna get you out of here." I said. "JED!"
I left the house. Outside.
"Jed! Why did you surround those girls with snakes?" I yelled kicking him even harder now. "They could of died. And they still could!"
I kicked him again.
"Relax. I can get rid of the snakes for you." Jed said.
"How?" I asked.
"Easy. Throw a body in there and while they're attacking them we can get the girls out." Jed suggested.
"You're crazy!" I yelled kicking him again.
"I'm sorry! I guess I don't know how to get the snakes out of there." Jed said. I kicked him again.
"Well too bad cause I know what we can do. Instead of throwing an innocent body in with the snakes. Why don't we just throw you in there and cancel the idea of putting you in jail." I said.
"What?" Jed yelled. "NO! No! NO! Just put me in jail. Not with the snakes."
"Well why? I mean you put the girls in the snakes. And any ways. At least you'll be free from all of this when you go to hell after wards." I said.
"Relax! Relax! We have something that will get rid of those snakes." Ron said pulling a big tube filled with some chemical out.
"What's that?" I asked.
"It's a very deadly chemical. It will kill those snakes in the blink of a wink." Ron explained heading to the house. Blink of a wink? Is that what he says these days.
"Well you know I say we go with my idea of throwing him in with the snakes." I said then kicked him again.
"Ah! Would you stop!" Jed whined.
"No!" I yelled then kicked him again. Hey I'm really getting a 'kick' out of this. lol...ok not funny.
"Please don't throw me in with those snakes." Jed pleaded.
"I know. I think we're just gonna spray them." Ron suggested.
"But the girls are in there. My sister's in there. What if they inhale the stuff?" I asked worried.
"They'll hold their breath." Ron said.
"I don't know Sheriff." I said.
"Don't worry. As long as they hold their breath until we say so. They'll be fine." Ron explained to me.
"Yes. Yes. They will be perfectly fine." Jed said.
"Fine." I said after thinking about it for a few seconds.
Back in the house.
"Ok girls, you hold on." Troy said trying to calm them down.
"Where's Gabriella?" Caitlyn asked.
"I don't know. But trust me she probably is trying her best to find a way to get you out of here." Troy said then I came running in.
"Gabi!" Caitlyn yelled.
"Hey! Are you guys alright?" I asked.
"Yes." Caitlyn said.
"How about you?" I asked Jackie, but I didn't know her name.
"Fine." Jackie said scared stiff.
"Ok well were gonna kill the snakes but right now I need you guys to hold your breath when I say so." I explained. "OK?"
"Ok." They said then they held their breath.
"Not yet!" I yelled stopping them. They breathed again.
"Oh." Jackie said.
Then Jed came running in and he ended up pushing me into the snakes. But Troy caught my hand. I was hanging over the edge of the stairs.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I screamed.
"Gabi!" Troy and Caitlyn yelled.
"Troy!" I yelled.
"Jed help me!" Troy yelled. Then they pulled me up after a lot of tugging. When I got up I kicked Jed again.
"I guess I deserved that." Jed said rubbing his shin.
"Ok. You guys step back!" Ron said pulling the tube into the room.
"You guys, hold your breath now!" I yelled to them. So they held their breath. And Ron started spraying the snakes. And we left the room.
15 seconds later.
"Ok I'm done!" Ron said then we went back in and they breathed again.
"Are you guys ok still? You didn't inhale any did you?" Troy asked.
"No!" They both said.
"Good. Ok I'm coming over." I said. Then Troy spotted a snake that was still alive.
"Wait Gabi! One of the snakes is still alive." Troy said stopping me.
"Ok. Then Jed's going." I said as I pushed him towards the stairs.
"Fine. I guess that's fair." So Jed went over to the girls. Then he brought them back. And I grabbed Caitlyn right away.
"Oh Caitlyn are you ok?" I asked hugging her really tight. Then I kissed her.
"Yes. I'm ok." Caitlyn said returning my hug.
"Don't worry. The guy who put you down here is going to jail right away." I said giving him a dirty look.
"I said I was sorry." Jed said.
"No you didn't." Troy said.
"Ok maybe I didn't." Jed said. "But I am sorry."
"Well too bad. Sorry isn't enough." I said then Taylor, Sharpay, Kelsi, Zeke and Chad came running into the room.
"Oh my god. Are you ok?" Sharpay said hugging Caitlyn.
"Yeah." Caitlyn said as I gave her to Sharpay.
"Are you ok...?" I asked not knowing her name.
"Jackie. And yes. I'm ok. I'm Caitlyn's friend." Jackie said.
"Hi. I'm Caitlyn's sister. Gabriella." I said.
"Hi." Jackie said.
"We're so glad you're ok." Taylor said hugging Caitlyn.
"So are we." Jackie added. Ok have to do it. I kicked Jed in the shin again.
"Ow! Stop!" Jed said.
"No." I returned.
"But I can stop seeing your face. You're going to jail." I said.
"Argh." Jed whined.
"Jed Tangerman. You're under arrest for the attempt of murder of Gabriella Montez. And the rape of Gabriella Montez. And for killing Jake McKessie, and Drew McKessie. And 3 other people. ANd for the kidnap of Caitlyn Montez, and Jackie Frazer." Ron explained handcuffing him.
"Listen Gabriella. Before you take me away, I just want you guys to know that I am so sorry." Jed said. "Please forgive me?"
"No." I said. Then I kicked him, Caitlyn kicked him, and Jackie kicked him. Always in the shin. I picked up Caitlyn and we all went outside and watched them take him away.
Back at my parents house. (Where me, Troy, and Anna are staying).
"Hey Anna." I said when we got home. Anna was staying at Troy's parents house.
"Ah. What a night." I said sitting down. Everyone came over to celebrate Jed being behind bars and the sucess of Sharpay's plan.
"Yeah. I'm tired." Troy said. We had like a 10 second silence.
"Pool Time!" I yelled and got up.
In the backyard. We're having a splash attack while Anna's sleeping. And Caitlyn and Jackie went to the bathroom. It was girls vs. Boys. Sadly the boys won. But then we had a re-match and the girls won! Then Josh's parents came out where we were. And I guess you could say they broke in.
"You guys! Out of the pool now!" Josh's mom Sandy demanded.
"No. You're not the boss of us." Chad said. Ok that sounded a little kidish.
"Yes. But we are your grandparents and this is an emergancy!" Sandy said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Caitlyn and Jackie are missing! They disapeared from our house yesterday! What are we gonna do?" Sandy panicked.
