Miami, Florida

Key Biscayne Police Department

Roman stormed into the precinct "ayo who do I speak to about my fiance Skylar La Rocca and why is she here" he asked the desk Seregnant. Skylar was brought in the night before after he took her to work they were now pressing charges. Against her because she was the last person to see Lance, that's when he saw Sharod being brought in as well.

With a smug grin on his face until he realized he didn't see his sister "Where's Skylar Roman" Sharod questioned, "and now you wanna talk shut up" Henry says, shoving him forward. "L'hanno fatta arrestare, ho appena ricevuto la chiamata" (They had her arrested, I just got the call )"Roman responds.

"Per quello" Sharod says, "per perché la stanno usando per arrivare a me non sono stupido" Roman answers. "Well my lawyer is coming tell them to see about Skylar first and I guess they are just gathering up all the La Rocca's huh" he says. "She doesn't need a lawyer because she didn't do anything bro but I called JT anyway" he tells him. Shaking his head "We both know this Roman it's to scare her how long has she been here" Sharod said.

"I don't know I was at the hospital for Little Rey since we left here yesterday afternoon. I dropped her off at work and texted her no reply. I didn't think anything of it. I fell asleep. And when I woke up there was still no answer so I called her but as I'm calling her I get a collect call from her telling me. That she was arrested and they had that jerk off over there humiliate her at work like she was some criminal.

And when I get her out of her your bitch ass is gonna wish you didn't take it there I promise you bro. You will regret it period and I put that on my life" Rome said deadpanned "What happened to little Rey" Sharod asked sitting up. "Ha avuto un incidente ieri durante la sua partita di motocross" he answered, "How are they? Reya okay is Reign with her" he questioned.

"I don't know man, I didn't even get to check in with them because of this shit but sent Huedy a text" he says. As Sharod sighs knowing that it was driving Reign crazy because she and her sister were really close and she loved her nephew. Especially with what happened to Royal that's when they saw Ruggerio walking in with another officer. "Oh boy the gang's all here cosa sta succedendo" he says to his cousin who shook his head. "Skylar è qui, è stata arrestata ieri sera" Sharod answered as Ruggerio rolled his eyes. "Per quello" he questioned, "for nothing bro just to scare her or me for whatever reason" Roman said.

When Henry stopped "You know it would be easier if you just tell us where you are hiding Lance" Bruce says. Making all three guys look at him "Like I told ya clowns yesterday I didn't see him ohh JT thanks for coming down again. I'm sorry about everything but they on some bullshit for bringing Sky in here for nothing" Rome says.

Making JT look at the officers and shaking his head "I guess y'all just don't like when ya'll don't get your way. Stuckup colored folks I would like to see my client Ms. Skylar La Rocca for 12 or so hours. And I have the surveillance video to clear her of any wrongdoing" he says shaking his head. Just then they saw Lance's parents came in with two older men "Well how is that Mr. Sterling? We've been trying to get the station to send it over for hours now" Henry said.

JT smiled "I asked nicely and they adored Skylar and they hated that she was being railroaded for her stalking ex boyfriend" he replies. "EXCUSE ME MY BOY WAS NO STALKER HE LOVED THAT GIRL. AND SHE NEVER LOVED HIM ENOUGH" Patricia spat, he smirked "Yeah well that's not what her bosses call it. When I spoke to them they said that he had to ban your son from the building because.

He followed her there on several occasions telling her about Roman's past that she already knew about. And that she herself told him to leave her alone and to not come there and he didn't listen. So that is what we will tell the press at the press conference we have when we leave here.

I will say how she was harassed by her ex for months in the name of love and because he was the son and the grandson of two Georgia judges. And the district attorney of Clayton County Georgia and nobody did anything because he was well connected. Then I will say how he's faked his kidnapping to get back at her for not succumbing to his wishes" JT says.

"You will not speak those salacious lies about my son" the woman says, "I will and there isn't a damn thing about it that you can do. You guys wanted to play this game so game on so what are we doing huh" he replies. As Lawerence held his wife "Back If I was you I would watch it Mr. Sterling '' Roy Barr sr said glaring at the younger man who smiled.

"Yes, I would like to know that as well what my nephews are doing here as well," Salvatore La Rocca said from behind them. Making Lawrence turn around "well it's a fact that they may be mob affiliated because that's what your old man is right. Lance told me but Santino assured me that he was legitimate and he's clean your father not so much.

Because he's been arrested in connection with the death of Victor Le Marshal and his son Anderson because of what he did to Skylar as a child" he spat. As Salvatore chuckled "Counselor my father was proven innocent of those accusations. And last time I checked Anderson Le Marshal was killed in a prison riot trying to assault a nurse" he responds.

"I'm sure he had his way right" Lawrence says, shaking his head "Unless my father somehow gained superpowers and he can walk through walls. And get in without being noticed by anyone. How would that happen, I mean seriously" Salvatore said. "He could have paid someone to do it but it's a fact that Anderon Le Marshal was killed in prison. With his genitals cut off" he snaps back, "It wasn't a secret of what he was in there for any of those prisoners could have done that.

You are throwing around these asinine ideas about my family because Santino said so '' he replies to the man. "Oh please that was a hit and rumor has it that your nephew did it" Lawrence says, "And again do he has magic powers. That people can see this is bullshit and you know it" he said. "GENTLEMEN NONE OF THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHY WE ARE HERE. CAN WE FOCUS ON WHY WE ARE RIGHT NOW STARTING WITH AN INNOCENT YOUNG WOMAN SITTING IN A JAIL CELL" JT said over them.

As both men glared at each other " Fine let's get to it then" Lawrence says, "Oh he says he has the surveillance cameras of the day Lance disappeared. And that the radio station just gave it to him because he asked nicely" Bruce said with air quotes. "Well I hope it isn't tampered or edited to clear her because make no mistake this is her fault. My son wouldn't have been here if it hadn't been for her'' Patricia spat bitterly, "well then that's on you. Mrs. Barr you should have taught your son that no means no '' JT says then nodding to Roman and walking behind the deputies.

" I know she better not have a scratch on her because I will sue y'all for everything you are worth. So much so your grandchildren and great grandchildren will be paying us" Roman says looking straight at Lawrence and Patricia. Who looked at Roman smugly as he kept calm not even flinching "You did this to her nobody else. That's what happens when she lays down with trash" Patricia says coldly.

"You can think whatever you want about me Miss but it doesn't make it true" he replies. As they lead him to where Skylar was Lawrence follows JT and his father and grandfather going after Salvatore La Rocca. When they walked in she had her head on the table looking up in relief when saw JT standing there.

Trying to hold back the tears as the officers close the door "Hey Skylar are you okay" JT says, "Per favore, portami fuori di qui, non voglio essere qui, mi hanno umiliato e degradato (Please get me out of here I don't want to be here they humiliated me and degraded me) she says. "Sono mai stati aggressivi con te in qualsiasi momento"( Were they ever aggressive with you at any time)" he asked calmly knowing they were. Purposely trying to hurt her" Sì, è come se stessero facendo di tutto per mettermi molto a disagio (Yes, it is as if they are doing everything to make me very uncomfortable)" she says.

Taking a deep breath when Lawrence cleared his throat " English '' he said, "So we're gonna get straight to it what happened. The day Lance disappeared" Henry asked, as she rolled her eyes "he came to my job I asked him why he was still here. And that he should go home and he said that he couldn't give up on us once he goes on to tell me what he came to tell me that going home is the last thing. I was going to want him to do then I tell him and I quote him and I told him that I didn't care what he had to say.

And then I went to get into my car and then went on his usual tangent of Roman's lying to me and how. He had reasons for going after me along with his brother going after Josslyn and how it wasn't about us it was about getting closer to Trina. And I asked how he figured that because they didn't even know Trina and he said Yes they do because she's their sister and I know this because Mrs. Robinson ran his DNA Test.

They match and that is why he didn't post that story about her in his newspaper; he was protecting his sister. That man doesn't love you Skylar you're just a consolation prize for him I'm at the Four Seasons Hotel when you need me. Then hand me a paper and I told him that I didn't want it and I crumbled it up. And got inside my car and drove away and I went to meet Roman and that was the last time I saw him" Skylar says.

"Hmm did you tell your fiance what he told you? '' the detective asked, but before she could answer Lance's father interjected. "Where did you go with your fiance or did you two set my boy up to be snatched up by your family? Lawrence questioned. As JT sighs then presses play on his computer showing the surveillance footage from that day.

Showing exactly what Skylar said happened, that's when they noticed someone tapping him then punching him. Then placing him in the van"See this was never about clearing Skylar this was about humiliating. Her because she didn't choose your son and you couldn't get Roman to cower so you go after her.

Looking to exploit her for the sake of your son to pry into her life to see what she and Roman have going on. So that you can use it against Roman so nice try uncuff her so we can go" JT says getting up and fixing his suit. Leaving Lawrence angry but he couldn't deny that she was innocent "That boy could have paid some thugs to take my boy especially if she told him what he told you.

Did you tell your fiance what Lance told you '' Lawrence questioned slamming his hand against the table. While Henry uncuffed her "This conversation is over DA Barr Miss La Rocca let's go" Jt says escort her out of the interrogation room. Meanwhile back in the squad room Roman waited with Samira and Skylar's mother Sabrina.

As Patricia and her brother Bruce stood to the side when Lila Rae rushed in "Roman what happened, what's going on why was Skylar arrested" she asked. Making him shake his head "Because they say she was the last person to see him before he disappeared" Roman said. With air quotes "Oh come on you know that's bullshit we all know pencil dick did this to make you look guilty.

His stalking ass is probably somewhere watching his handy work manipulative ass" Lila Rae spat. Making Patricia's head flung her direction "You watch how you talk about my son you silly little girl just like the other one. Just remember when you lie down in the trash that is where you belong" Patricia spat.

"Bitch who are you calling trash you stuck up cunt you don't know a damn thing about me. I come from two of the wealthiest families in this country between the Chandler's and the Quartermaines. Your family aren't worth half as much as they do and let's not forget my fucking name I am a ALCAZAR play if you want to" she responds.

As Roman pulls her back " Lila Rae chill out hon" he says as she pulls away "No Roman she never thought Skylar was good enough for her son. Like the sun shines out of his ass or something and guess what bitch he isn't that smart either because what would it take for him to buy a fucking clue. That she doesn't want him anymore but he can't seem to get that shit does he or here's one how about this one for you.

How about the fact that you're just a miserable old cunt who isn't even happy in her own life so judges everyone else" she spat. When Roman covers her mouth"Stop Skylar is good and you're pregnant so just chill" he says moving his hand"watch how you talk to me little girl" Patricia says. Making Lila Rae give her the finger, that's when they saw Skylar being followed by her brother Sharod and her cousin Ruggerio then her Uncle Salvatore.

Making her stop"what are you two doing here" Skylar asked looking at them before walking directly into Roman's arms as he hugs her then looking her over when he cups her face"are you okay did they hurt you" Rome questions. Caressing her face and gazing into her eyes in that moment, that's when her mother saw his genuine love for her"Fisicamente sto bene mentalmente non lo sono voglio questo su Roman" Skylar says.

As he shook his head"I know princess" he said kissing her lips when her sister and Lila Rae both embraced her with her mother nodding to her taking her by surprise. Before turning her attention back to her brother and cousin "it's fine Sky Sky they thought we conspired together about Lancelot's disappearance.

But me and Ruggerio were both in New York while you and Roman weren't even here"Sharod answered as his mother hugged him and Ruggerio as Patricia approached her husband. "So what happened, why are they letting her go? She knows where Lance is" the woman says as the other group leaves. "Pat sweetheart, I saw the surveillance footage.

She may have been the last one to see him alive but she left after their last conversation. And when she drove off he was attacked from behind and tossed into some truck like a rag doll" Lawrence says, making her cover her mouth. As the tears filled her eyes making her husband hug her"Bruce I need you to look into this partial license plate number that is the van who took him and we need to find out what happened and if she told her fiancé what Lance told her.

About Trina Robinson being related to that boy he had to pay someone to take Lance because my boy must have gotten too close to uncovering something. I think I'm going to pay the elder Mr. Ashford a visit" Lawrence says, " do you think he is involved somehow" his brother in law questioned.

"Well her brother and cousins alibi is air tight with video and pictures placing them in New York but this feels to clean someone had to take Lance but who" Roy Barr jr said. "What was he working on do you know" Senior asked, "he was instrumental in helping her father buyout Le Marshal production.

And the family was really reluctant to do so with Mrs. Le Marshal made several threats but he said he could handle it and that she was harmless" Patrica whispered. " Look I still think this kid is involved especially if he knows that Lance us on to him so I'm gonna have my people stay on him"Bruce says. "Bruce, you said that the only place your guys couldn't get in was his gym," Senior asked.

"Because it's a private gym I mean really private, meaning Retina and handprints kind of private," he replied, "we can't put all our eggs in one bag, we have to get into that gym"the older man said. " And we need to find out where they went because They could have taken Lance anywhere, possibly killing him and dumping the body now Pat. I know you don't wanna hear that. But we have to consider everything because Lance has been gone for almost three weeks and nothing" her husband said, hugging her.

" I hope you find your son but I hope you realize that if you humiliate or come after my clients again you will regret it" JT says before walking away. " Yeah I agree with Mr. Sterling, I'm really sorry for what is going on in your family. I hope you find him soon" Salvatore says before leaving meeting JT at the elevator. With both of them getting in with the door closing"you do good work JT so what is the plan " he questioned. JT smirks" this is about getting to Roman to get their son what he wants they are used to getting their way. But they're gonna learn really quickly rather quickly that this isn't Georgia and they are barking up the wrong tree" he replies.


Somewhere of the coast of Florida

"SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE" he screamed until his lungs could't take it anymore before dropping to the ground. As the man stood in front of him laughing "Fool you done how many times do I have to tell you that nobody can hear you asshole. Anyway But guess what I saw your momma she's pretty I wonder how she does on my market.

Umm that's some high price tail" he said, as Lance tried to get up"stay away from my mother. You're gonna be sorry when I find out who you are and who you work for because I'm gonna make sure you're prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. So much so that you're gonna wish you had taken my deal and let me go" he said, spitting at the man as she tried to get out of the restraints.

With the man chuckling"say you do get out of here trust me when I say this you will never remember me" he said this time Lance laughed "I'm gonna remember everything that's why you hide behind a mask right. Think that it's gonna help you it's not I know your what 6 '1 about 190 or 200 and your not very bright" Lance said rushing forward.

When he was kicked to the ground as he struggled to breathe "you stupid motherfucker you think I didn't know it wasn't attached dumb ass I did that to see what your bitch ass was made off" he said. Punching Lance continuously and adding kicks to his chest and stomach as well. As Lance tried to fight back when he felt more hits coming from all over until he blacked out and when he woke up his eyes widened when he saw who was standing there.

Struggling to sit up"You son of a bitch!" Was all he got when someone put their arm around his neck then sticking him in the arm "NOOOOOooo what are you doing" he screams trying to fight with everything in him. As they both smiled"Marìcon you got everything you deserve" Ramalo said as Robbie smiled at his cousin "let's get rid of this motherfucker" Robbie said standing up when Raiden dragged him by his legs. "Oye I know just where to toss this fool" Raiden says with a grin as they leave dragging an unconscious Lance behind them.
