Wednesday:
Teddy take me home, I spent the evening at Grey Manor for dinner, study and extracurricular activates. It's late near 10pm, pulling up to Bill house, something is wrong, the police are here. We get out and approach a plainclothes policeman. "What going on?" I ask
"What it's to you" cop says annoyed
"I live here" I says
"Where have you been for the last 4 hours?" cop ask
"At my house with my parents." Says Teddy.
"I'll need your names and have to check your alibis before you can go." Cop demands
"I'm calling my dad, Sam not another word till he gets here." Teddy calls evading the cops attempt to stop him. He's in handcuff, but Carrick is on the way.
We wait in silence, despite the constant harassment by the cops. The cops are pissed off, and trying hard to pin what ever happened on us. The juggernaut of Christian Grey, Carrick Grey, Jason Taylor, and a deputy chief of police land at Bills house. The cops are scattered; the obnoxious plainclothesman is sent packing. A senior detective arrives and takes over. Teddy's released. We sit in the car while the adults conference. Christian is in full temper mode and Taylor goes off as well, Christian and Carrick have to restrain him, I start to worry "Debra, Teddy, Debra."
Taylor comes a sits in the car. I lean forward "Please Taylor, what happen, where's Debra. Please tell me?"
He turns looking me in the eye; softens "she was taken to the Hospital shot twice. They're three dead people in the house. Two suitcases full of drugs and a dead undercover cop, which nobody knows anything about. They're think you have something to do with this. Found your room scattered like you left in a hurry."
He takes a deep breath "I know you have been in school and at Anna till an hour ago when Teddy drove you home. Debra thinks the world of you. None of this makes any sense."
"If I could see inside I could tell what's missing." I volunteer
Carrick and Christian come to the car. "The Detective wants you to do a walk thru the house to see if you know anything."
"Ok" I say, leaving Teddy in the car unhappy. But I need to do this for Debra
Carrick, Detective Warmsley, and I walk the house. My room is a mess, cloths aren't just scattered there ripped, shredded and paint is spread all over. On the way-out, I check Bills study, the oil painting of his late wife is slashed and a silver frame is missing. The photo is ripped in half, Bill's picture is left. His Daughter? I point out the frame and picture to Detective. "I think her name is Tabitha, maybe?"
Outside we talk, Taylor "Tabitha Deyoung is a known druggie, and estranged from her father. She could easily get into this kind of trouble and have access to the house. Debra wouldn't have though anything was wrong till the end." The police put a APB for her out.
At the Hospital, Grace meets us. Mary is by her side. "Jason, Gail is in with her. She regained conscience, vitals are stable. She is making a statement to the police. She's scheduled for surgery in about three hours."
"Why wait, she should be in surgery right now!" Taylor explodes close to losing it. Christian throws an arm around him, to calm him down. I get the feeling their really close friends, not just employer and employee.
"Jason, the bullets are the least of the problems. They didn't hit anything vital. She's had two unit of blood, three units of plasma and is stable. Her head wound is the danger. There is indication of swelling; she's on medication to reduce it. A specialist is flying back in Charlie Tango from Portland. She been beaten severally, she took a lot of damage, but she strong, and determined to survive."
Christian hugs Taylor, Jason weeps silently. I see a lot of broken bodies in the near future. Sawyer arrives, Jason starts to get anger, but Sawyer raises his hands. "Your family is on the way." O'boy this as really gotten serious.

I'm at my brother's, after a hard dinner of Fred and Freddy, I need a stiff tall drink of high octane alcohol. They are both super stubborn, ill-mannered spoil brats. The phone rings. It's Sam? What now? "Yes, Sam what's… no! How is she? Can we help? Oh, I'll notify the girls." Fred and Fredrick are at my elbow concern on their faces. "Debra Westford is in the hospital she's been beat and shot. The Grey and her cousin Jason a family are there. Sam concerned the band may be targeted." Fred turns ashen and starts to cry. Fredrick abandoned his aloof patrician attitude and comforts her. "Abby what can I do?" he begs me. I see the father desperate to protect his daughter, all the strife between them is gone in this instant of harsh reality.
"Freddy I'm calling Saul, Fredrick's head of security." I call, get his input and we make a plan. I call the band members putting them on high alert. Saul calls Grey man Sawyer. The wagons are circling.

The first of the Taylor clan to arrive is oldest brother, recently retired US army Sergeant Major(SgtM) who was visiting friends at FT. Lewis, Donald. Jason mother, Gwen and his sister Senior Detective Lisa Anna Bennett, Kansas City PD arrive from Kansas at dawn. His cousin, Debra brother, Lt.

Col. and SgtM quickly organize a command structure combining the various corporation security assets.
