Chapter 3.

Is any one there? Getting worried now lol

Leo Jack and Nikki were discussing the best way to handle the case. Jack had done all he was allowed to do as he knew Hannah, but the rest of the team could carry on. Jack decided to take some leave and see if he could help Hannah in anyway.

Hannah was sitting in the family room at the police station with DCI Morgan. Lydia was sitting drawing, the 5 year old completely unfazed by the evenings events. Lydia had told them how there was a knock on the door and that Gramps had put her and Grace in the cupboard and told her to keep quiet. She didn't understand though because when she heard the front door open she was sure she had heard her Daddy asking were Mummy was. She said Gramps said "she's out and won't be back for ages". Gramps said "the girls are here" and asked did Daddy want a drink. "Then there was banging and smashing but then it went quiet". She didn't speak anymore, just carried on colouring and drinking her juice.
Hannah and Matthews went to another room to talk about Simon.

When Hannah and Simon met 7 years ago things moved fast they met in the November moved in together in the January. Life was full of work, partying at the weekend, holidays abroad and expensive clothes. Then a year had past and Hannah discovered she was pregnant. Simon wasn't happy but they decided to make a go of things. Simon worked more hours to make sure he could spoil his princess when she was born. He worked away alot, but Hannah insisted that everything was good when he was home witch was rare... untill last June she had discovered that she was pregnant again. The same morning she had a text message from Simon saying he couldn't wait to see her later and he had a surprise for her. Hannah explained to Matthews how her dad took Lydia and she'd cleaned all through, been shopping and got his favourite wine and food in. Only by 10 pm that night she realised something was horribly wrong.
Hannah told him how she had rang him mobile and a woman picked up. When Hannah asked were he was she replied he was in bed asleep, "do you want me to wake him up it must be important for work to be ringing him this late!" She had said.

Hannah had moved out and changed her number within a month and hadn't heard from him since. Simon knew where her dad lived and hadn't even bothered trying to find her before now.

Hannah was exhausted and the girls were grumpy too, it was 6 am and Hannah wanted to leave and sleep. Hannahs dad's house was under investigation and Hannah realised she had nowhere to go. Tears slipt down her cheeks she heard the door open but didn't look up, she was surprised to see Nikki standing there, Nikki asked for samples from Hannah and the girls for testing. Hannah agreed, asking when she would be allowed home. "I'm not sure" Nikki said "but Jack wants to talk to you! What do you want to do?" Hannah wasn't sure she felt such a mess and was used to dealing with things alone.. only the more she thought about it the more she wanted Jack to hold her, but what about the girls? By now she was to tiered to care. Lydia raised her head when Hannah got up to walk out, she smiled. She was a bright girl. Nikki sat with Lydia and they drew and talked mainly about school and Grace.

As Hannah walked into the corridor Jack stood up from the chair and walked towards her. Hannah didn't know what to do first hug him kiss him be angry, not at him but at the situation. Jack made the decision for her he strided towards her and wrapped his arms around her. Jack felt Hannah braking and crumbling in his arms as he hugged her hoping to keep the pieces glued together long enough for her to hear him speak.
After a while Hannah had stopped sobbing and had looked up to Jack asking "What am I going to do now?"
Jack decided to take control "We are going to get the girls and take them to my place. You're all going to eat and get some sleep and then we will figure the rest out later!" Hannah nodded and stood up linking hands with Jack. Time to sleep..
