AN: Thanks fore the reviews guys keep them coming! Here is the next chapter enjoy! :)
Chapter Six.
"… She will be safe." Troy said looking down at Gabriella.
"Yeah but will you?" Chad asked…
"Do not disappoint me Scotty." And with that the car sped off leaving Scott to come up with a plan that would out smart a bodyguard.
'He's only a bodyguard who hard can this be." He turned to go back inside to collect the guys he would take with him on the search for one Gabriella Montez.
Gabriella stirred in her sleep. She felt a kink in her neck and sharp pain in her lower back. It was the result of a restless sleep in the back of a fast moving car. When she opened her eyes all she saw was the seat in front of her and parts of the car floor beneath her. Her neck was sore and she was laying on something that was digging into her back as if someone had stabbed her and left the knife in her. She however was not laying completely flat. She was perched so her body was at an obtuse angle.
The upper part of her body did not lay on the cold leather seats like the lower half did. Her upper body lay on a warm and solid chest.A warm and solid chest which belonged to none other than her bodyguard. As far as she could feel the car was still in motion and was moving rather fast. She moved her head so she could look up at the roof inside the car. It was a cream colour. After she noticed this she also noticed it was rather dark in the car for it to be daylight outside. Looking over at the windows she noticed they were all blacked out. 'No wonder there is no light.' She thought to herself as she slowly raised her upper body of the body which she lay on.
Troy was asleep. Well as far as she could tell he was asleep. And the man from last night was still driving the car.
'So I didn't dream this?' She suddenly found herself asking herself.
"No you didn't." Gabriella jumped at the surprise of the new voice.
"Did I just…"
"Think that out loud?" Chad finished for her.
"Yeah." She looked at Troy. And the sighed. She moved herself off him and over the other side of the car.
"Where…"
"Are we?"
"You like to finish people sentences for them all the time?" Gabriella asked looking at Chad through the rear-view mirror.
"Pretty much. I'm impatient person. Can't help it." Chad's eyes never left the road.
"You don't say." Gabriella looked around the car and then back at Troy.
"He's asleep. Has been for the last hour." Chad answered her question before she even asked it.
"Impatient." Chad said and Gabriella cracked a smile. Slowly she gathered her dress up and climbed over the middle section of the car. Just the way Troy had done at the end of last night to comfort her. She took her place in the passenger seat and looked out at her surroundings.
"Where in Arizona." Chad answered.
"But I thought…"
"We're still going to Mexico. Just the best place to cross is Douglas, Arizona." Chad finished for her.
"You really are impatient." Gabriella said looking at him.
"Comes with the job." Chad looked at her for he first time up close. He had only ever seen picture's and of course on the dance floor in that club a few months back.
"Job?" She asked querulously.
"Yeah Secret Service." Chad answered for her.
"As in like… government stuff."
"Not always but yes government stuff." Gabriella looked back at Troy.
"He's not just a bodyguard is he?" For the first time he let her finish his question.
"No mam. He's not." Chad confessed.
"It's Gabriella."
"Well then it's Chad." Gabriella laughed a little.
"Chad. I would like to say nice to meet you but…"
"Under the circumstances." Chad said and she looked at him.
"You really need to control your urge to finish other people's sentences."
"And you really need to give a guy a break." Chad said looking at her.
"That would never happen Chad." Gabriella got a bit of a shock but Chad remained focused and calm. He didn't even flinch. Unlike Gabriella.
"Don't do that!" Gabriella exclaimed will holding her hand over her chest where her heart lived inside her body.
"Sorry." Troy apologised and leaned on the middle section dividing the driver's seat and the passenger's seat.
"You two met." Troy said looking between the two.
"Yeah. Stubborn." Chad said referring to Gabriella.
"Impatient." Gabriella said referring to Chad.
"And I'm just Troy." Troy said hanging his head down and then bring it back up.
"Time is half six…" Troy said looking at the clock on the car's stereo-system.
"We are twenty or so minutes outside of Douglas. Motel is in on the other side." Chad said.
"So what about…"
"half an hour."
"Impatient much" Gabriella said looking out the passenger window at the fields and odd tree's they where passing.
"You plan the motel?" Troy asked.
"Yeah The Doug Inn. Old English Pub."
"What's a pub?" Gabriella asked both Troy and Chad hoping one would answer her.
"It's kind of another version of a bar. Except..."
"Not much music, they tend to serve meals, and have old men in them all day long." Chad finished. Gabriella just looked at him.
"What I did eight months undercover in Yorkshire. A lot of pubs." Chad said as they drove past a sign that said.
'Welcome to Douglas'
"Mr Montez I can assure you we are doing everything we can to contact Troy. But we are coming up with nothing." Leon explained to his boss for the tenth time since they had woken up in Spain.
"No Leon that is not good enough. My baby girl is out there somewhere and we have no clue where she is!" Maria exclaimed to the head of security.
"Mrs Montez please. We are doing everything."
"Leon go." Carlos said dismissing the bodyguard.
"Sir, Mam." He said before leaving them at the table beside the pool at the back of the Spanish Villa.
"Carlos she could be anywhere." Maria said resting her head in her hands.
"I know. But you are the one that said she was with Troy." Carlos said taking a hold of his wives hand in his.
"I know but that was when we where in the same place. Now we are worlds apart!" Maria shook her husbands hand off hers.
"Maria. Don't do this." Carlos watched his wife walk back into the Villa as a man stepped out.
"Ahh Samuel." Carlos said with a sigh of relief.
"Carlos. Everything okay?" He asked sitting in the seat Maria had just left.
"No. We have no idea where Gabriella is." He said resting his head on his hands just as his wife had done.
"I am sure she is fine Carlos. I mean she is a Montez. Plus she has that bodyguard with her. What his name … Tony."
"Troy." Carlos corrected his friend.
"Yes Troy. I am sure she is perfectly safe." Samuel said resting a hand on his friends shoulder.
"I hope so Samuel. I really do hope so."
"You are fucking joking me right?" Gabriella said looking around the room.
"He is joking right?" She asked Chad who was on her left.
"Oh no. He never jokes." Chad said moving further into the room.
"You want me to sleep in this?" She looked to Troy on her right.
"Is there a problem Princess?" He asked also moving further into the room.
"Yes! Yes there is a fucking problem!" Gabriella exclaimed looking around the room for the twentieth time.
As of right now the three of them where stood in a room over an Old English pub with loads of horny, drunken old men in it. They got the one room. With one bed. It did not even look like a bed. It was a metal frame with a dirty old worn mattress - if you could call it that. The sheets looked as though they had not been washed in years. There was cracks in the walls and wallpaper peeling off the walls. The window was so dirty you could't even see out of it. There was an old brown couch under the window.
"I'll be sleeping here." Chad said throwing his bags down on what looked like to be a recliner chair and it was in the far corner out the way beside another door. Which the three had assumed was the bathroom. Gabriella was dreading looking in there.
"You want me to sleep here?"
"Yes." The both said in unison.
"On that?"
"Yes" Again in unison. Gabriella crossed her arms over her chest and pouted.
"There is no way in hell my father would ever allow me to sleep like this, or even step foot in a place…" She caught her self. It was the first time she had mentioned her parents since before Troy had calmed her down.
"Emm…I think I will be downstairs. Drinking." Chad said walking out the door and shutting it behind him.
"Gabriella…" She has turned away from him so he wouldn't see the tears that feel for her eyes.
"Princess." He reached for her and turned her around. He looked her in the eyes and he felt nothing but pain. He felt for her. In one night she had been ripped from her family and life just because he father was a successful business man.
'What is wrong with the world?' Troy asked himself but his brain did not answer him back.
"It's okay." He placed his hands on the sides of her face and held it so she could not turn away from him.
"It's all going to be okay." He rubbed his thumbs over her check-bones.
"How do you know that? How do you know it's all going to be okay Troy?" Gabriella asked as more tears fell down her face.
"I just do." He said. She placed her hand over his wrists and looked up into his eyes. This was as close bar when she feel asleep on him the car, that they had every been. The look he gave her was one which showed he cared. He really cared and that he was not going to let anything happen to her.
'He is payed to think that Gabriella' She told herself but her brain never answered her back.
"I promise you Gabriella I will not let anything happen to you." Gabriella nodded her and she moved closer to him, as did he. They where brought back down the reality when there was a loud bang on the door.
"Everything alright for you Mr Smith?" Came the voice through the door. Gabriella and Troy pulled apart. Troy turned to look at the door and Gabriella backed away from Troy.
"Yeah fine thanks." And there person who had checked them in continued on down the hallway their room was on.
"Gabriella…" Troy turned back to her.
"I…I should shower…and get out of this dress. Yeah that is what I should do." Gabriella said grabbing the bag which held her clothes and walking to the bathroom. After she closed to the door, Troy sat down on the bed and rested his head his hands and let out a sigh. The door re-opened.
"Troy…" He looked up and saw her in that dress. The long purple dress that still after running and sleeping in a car looked perfect on her. She was stood in the bathroom doorway.
"You aren't going any where are you?" She asked.
"No Princess. I am staying right here." Gabriella nodded at him and turned around. But she stopped. She looked over her shoulder at him.
"Thanks Troy." And she closed the bathroom door. Troy sighed even more.
'Not again.' Was the first thought that came to his head before he lay back on the bed.
"Joe! Joe!" A little girl screamed at the top of her lungs. Joseph was pulled from his bed by two men. As the little girl continued to scream and cry out for him.
"Joe!"
"Someone shut her up!" A man screamed will Joseph was pulled from his bed and dragged out the room he had been staying in for the last two years. His feet where dragged along behind him as the reached the end of a narrow dark hallway. He could hear people shouting and talking in Spanish. His mind was in such a daze to comprehend what was going on. The next thing he knew he was being thrown into the back of a van while the young girl kept screaming and screaming his name.
That was until the door of the van closed and he saw her. She was only five years old. Barely reaching over four foot. Her long black hair was in curls due to the church visit she had made with her mother earlier that day. She was clutching on to a white bunny-rabbit soft toy. While another man was holding her back by one arm and she was screaming for him to let go. Her little purple dress was all wrangled up due to her attempts to get free. She still looked perfect though.
"Daddy No! Joe!" The door closed with a bang and Joseph was thrown backwards as the van pulled off at a speed.
"Tell me right now!" Scott yelled, holding a metal black crow-bar in his hand.
"Tell me!" He screamed.
The two bodies which hung before him remained mute as the hung by their wrists in an old empty warehouse.
"Fine then." He swung his crow-bar and the body to his right. the metal hit the ribs. And you heard the ribs crack and the body screamed.
"Ah now he talks boys." Scott said turing around to the five guys who where spread out on chairs looking at the two bodies.
"Where the hell is Troy fucking Bolton!" Scott was right in his face now."Tell me and you can live. Tell me nothing…" He slammed the head of the crow-bar into the bodies side. And it winced in pain and swung from side to side due the impact.
"Devon look at this." Scott said looking at his crow-bad.
"He got his filthy blood all over it." Scott said showing his crow-bar to one of his companions.
"You know…" Scott used the bodies shirt to wipe the blood off.
"If you told me…This could be Bolton getting this beating. Instead of you and him." He said referring to the other body which hanging limp. No life to it. The pool of blood at it's feet. It was dripping from it's legs and feet. The bodies face was barley recognisable to the other. It was so badly burned and bruised. It was an unbearable sight.
"I told you…" Crocked out of Zeke Baylor's mouth.
"I don't know." He gasped for breath.
"Wrong answer." Scott said and whacked him around the back of his knee's. Zeke screamed out in pain as he felt his knee caps dislocate from the bottom half of his legs. The bottom half of his legs just dangled and he felt searing pain.
"I..swear I have not seen Troy Bolton in months." Zeke said. Scott turned and walked away from the bodies.
"Scott they know nothing." Kyle another guy said standing up from his chair.
"It seems so boys. But we can't have lose ends." Scott said walking towards the exit."Finish them both. Make sure no one finds the bodies." And with that Scott left only hearing the screams of pain from inside the warehouse. He pulled out his phone.
"They where no use…Yeah…We are disposing of them right now. What next uncle? Chad Danforth." He spoke into the phone as his group of five men finished off the job he started in the warehouse.
"Troy…Troy…" Gabriella repeated his name while she shook him lightly.
"Sophia. No Sophia!" Troy said in his sleep.
'Sophia?' Gabriella asked herself.
"Troy…Wake up." He opened his eyes and saw her looking down at him.
"You okay?" She asked and he rubbed his face with his hand and sat up.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Troy said looking around the room.
'How long had he been out? Was Chad still down the stairs?'
"Chad hasn't come back yet." Gabriella said moving off the bed. She was now in a pair of ripped washed-out blue jeans, and a white tank-top with a pair of white converses on. Her hair was in some sort of pony tail. And she barley had any make-up on.
"Okay. I need to go and find him. Just stay here. Okay. I will be back in five minutes." Troy said getting off the bed and going to reach the door.
"Troy…who is Sophia?" Gabriella asked him.
"Sophia. Sophia is no one." He opened the door and was about to step out.
"Troy."
"Look Gabriella right now I can't be in the same room as you alone. Okay. Just stay here and I will be back in a minute. I just need a minute." And he left her in the disgusting motel room all by herself.
Not long after he left Chad wandered back into the room.
"Chad?" Gabriella asked supersede to see him.
"The one and only. I may have just a tad too much. So if you don't mind I am going to go and shower and sober up." He said swaying past her and heading into the bathroom. Half an hour had gone past and he was not back.
'Five minutes my ass.' Gabriella said to herself.
'Well screw this. I am not sitting in here all day.' Gabriella pulled her hair out and shook her curls and and checked herself in the mirror out of habit. Before leaving the room.
Once she was in the hallway she had no idea where to look for him. But she saw a door that was wedged open at the other end and decided that, that was her best bet. She slowly made her way over to the door and looked out it. The door lead to a balcony which overlooked the back garden to the pub. She saw table and chairs and some people sat drinking, talking and laughing. Little kids playing in the play-ground at the very bottom. She saw the edge of the car park and the car they had driven here in. And she saw Troy. He was leaning against the railings look out at the kids, with a beer in his hand. She walked out and stood behind him.
"What do you want Gabriella?" He asked her as if he knew she would come looking for him.
"You said five minutes that was half an hour ago." Why was he being so hot and cold with her.
"Yeah well you know people just need some space sometimes." he snapped at her.
"I didn't…" She looked down at her feet and Troy turned around to look at her. He leaned back against the railings.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap." Troy said sipping his beer.
"I guess we all have our moments. I know I have with you." Gabriella said fiddling with her hands.
'Why is this so hard. It's only Troy. He has spent every waking minute with me for like months now.' She thought to herself.
"Yeah. I guess." Troy said.
"Who is Sophia Troy?"
"She is no one Gabriella just let it go. Please just let it go." Troy begged her.
"But…"
"Can you just fucking let it go." He said glaring at her. She saw him glaring and she pushed a piece of hair behind her ear and looked back at her feet.
"Do you know it my mum and dad are okay?" She changed the subject and Troy was glad. He sighed and shook his head at her.
"Oh okay. I guess I should get back to the room then." She turned around and walked back towards the door.
"Gabriella…" She stopped and turned around and the next thing she knew his lips where on hers.
"Your sure?" Scott asked into the phone. He hung it up and looked at his group of men.
"Pack you bags boys we are going to Mexico."
AN: Two chapters in one day guys. Thanks for the reviews on last chapter I really would like some more though. I am putting this up as it's like nearly 3 in the morning and I couldn't sleep so i wrote this instead. Hope it's good enough for you all! :)
I really liked this chapter it is just kind of a filler. But you have no idea how much I wanted Troy and Gabriella to hook up as she was heading for the bathroom to get cleaned up. So I have left you with a cliff hanger of him kissing her. And Scott knows they are heading to Mexico and Samuel is playing the caring 'best friend'. So much going on. If you hadn't guessed Zeke and Jason are no more. This story will have no lose ends as Scott said. So they had to go. Although they died for nothing. Tried to keep the whole torture thing to a minimum, not sure it's good but you get the idea that they where both in a lot of pain.
Oh and can you figure out who Joseph is?
So read and review this guys please. And keep the reviews coming I am loving the feed back I am getting for this story and the amount of people who are reading it! :D
P.S this is the last chapter until 2012 so please enjoy it!
Daddy's little girl.
So as it's christmas I am going to give you a sneak peak at the next chapter enjoy:
Chapter preview….
"You what? What the fuck are you playing at Troy?" Chad shouted at his best friend.
"I have no idea Chad. She just…"
"She is your case. The case that you where put onto because of your last one. Remember Sophia!" Chad passed the motel parking lot.
"Gabriella is not Sophia!" Troy shouted back.
"Yeah she is Troy. The only difference is she is not a little girl!"
"Uncle good news." Scott said into the phone.
"You've found them?" Samuel asked his nephew.
"Bingo." And Scott hung up the phone.
"What do you really know about this Troy boy Carlos?" Samuel asked.
"I know that he is a bodyguard and is good at his job." Carlos answered.
"Did you know he was a Navy Seal?" Samuel asked.
"A what?" Leon appeared at the door.
"Troy you can't avoid me forever." Gabriella said to him as he walked back into the motel room.
"Yeah I can. Once you are safe that it my job is done." Troy said to her turning around to face her.
"You don't mean that." Gabriella snapped back at him.
"Yes I do Gabriella! I really mean that." Troy said leaing against the table on the far side of the room.
"Look me in the eye and tell me you don't mean that!" She shouted at him. Troy turned around and looked at her. The next thing she knew he had he slammed against the motel door.
Until 2012 guys...
HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS! :)
