How Taking Down Legacy Failed

Cody's P.O.V

"I told you not to bother.." Ted yelled opening the door, thinking it was Melina, once again it wasn't. "Come in" Ted said sighing to the detective, he nodded and took a seat opposite me.

"Any news?" I asked him. Ted sat down beside me.

"We are searching John's hotel room; he has been using that for the past week if I'm correct?" I nodded. "The news of this must not spread; we have a warrant which also says that John doesn't have to know"

"You can do that?" Ted asked him.

"In cases like these yes, John must not know he is being investigated, he could get rid of evidence or…"

"Hurt Mickie" I cut him off, he starred at both me and Ted before nodding. "So you really think John took her?"

"After the statement Melina Perez gave us, we believe so" He replied, Ted winced at hearing her name, I put a hand on his shoulder to comfort him.

"When are you searching the room?" Ted asked.

"We are hoping they on today or tomorrow, we have to wait for him to leave and the time has to be when we know he won't return" This was just too real, Mickie is great and all but why is John so obsessed? If he really loved her he wouldn't have cheated on her and he certainly wouldn't have hit her.

"Why don't you just follow him and it will lead you to Mickie?" It seemed like the most obvious thing to do, why weren't they doing that?

"Because if John catches us at this stage and he is the one who took Mickie, it will make things too difficult and put Mickie health at risk" I leaned back, I looked over at Ted, he was looking away, poor guy, had a lot to deal with right now, girl he loves used him and his best friend is missing than again I don't have it any easier. My best friend is too missing and my girlfriend who is not speaking to me may be pregnant.

"What exactly will you be looking for at John's?" Ted muttered, he still wasn't focused and he still wouldn't look the detective in the eye, I was tempted to just drag Melina over here.

"I should go with you, in case I see something of Mickie's there" I suggested standing up.

"I will go too" Ted said as well standing up, we went to follow the detective out of the room when we saw Melina waiting at the door, so she decided to show her face after all, Ted stopped as soon as he saw her.

"I'll go man, you stay" I told Ted sighing, he looked at me gratefully, I nodded at him before leaving with the detective, I sure as hell hope he knows what he is doing. She better not mess with his head again, I swear WHEN we find Mickie she is not going to be happy about them too.

Melina's P.O.V

Me and Ted stood there awkwardly, I knew I had to come and see him, try to explain, but my mind had gone blank, I had no idea what to say. He wouldn't look at me; he was just looking down at his shoes. "Ted" I said softly, he lifted his head up a little. "I'm sorry"

"Your sorry?" He scoffed, I stayed quiet. "For what? Making me believe that you actually cared for me?"

"I do care about you" I argued, stepping closer towards him.

"You used me Melina and what else? You're the reason by best friend is in danger" He hissed at me walking over to the window.

"I had no idea what he was planning" I told him, he shook his head and refused to turn around, I walked further to him and touch his arm. "The moment he wanted me to be with you, I took it because that's what I wanted, to be with you"

"It's too late" He mumbled to me, he didn't remove me from his arm.

"Too late? I want to be with you Ted" He looked down, I grabbed his chin and forced him to face me. "And I know you want to be with me too"

"You left me for Drew" He finally looked at me in the eye, but coldly. "For Drew, you didn't want me Melina you wanted him"

"I thought I wanted him Ted, but I found myself comparing him" I kissed him gently on the lips, he didn't move away, he didn't reject me, he just closed his eyes. "to you"

"Is this another trick John taunt you?" He scoffed at me, I shook my head and took a step away from him.

"I love you Ted, whether you believe that or not, it's true" I turned around to walk out, but I felt his hand tug on my elbow. I stepped closer towards him, he leaned down and kissed me. I wrapped my arms instantly around his neck and pulled him closer towards me.

Sam's P.O.V

I started to button up my shirt, I stood up which made the arm wrapped around my waist drop. John rubbed his eyes and looked towards the clock by the bed. "Ah shit, I should go check on Mickie, she is probably hungry"

"And I should go feed Alana" I replied slipping on my shoes.

"Send Randy my regards" John grinned at me, I rolled my eyes and walked out. I promised I wouldn't sleep with him again, not now that I was married, but I was just so angry at Randy for how he had reacted, I couldn't help myself. I ran my fingers through my hair, I turned my head to see John leave his hotel room to go see that mutt of his.

Randy stood up when I walked into our hotel room. "Where have you been? I've been calling you"

"I just needed some space" I replied. It was awkward for a moment, I decided to speak up. "So have you thought more about what I said?"

"No" He replied simply, I suppressed myself from letting out a growl.

"Can't we at least discuss this?"

"No Sam, I'm not giving up my career" He said it as calmly as possible, but I could see in his eyes that he was frustrated, he walked into the bedroom. I felt pissed off all over again, too bad John's already gone to see Mickie.

Cody's P.O.V

We got the warrant! The detective was letting me come on their way to search John's room, but I had to wait outside. Ted hadn't shown up or called so I take it either he has murdered Melina and has escaped to Canada or they have made up. I hope it's the second one. Good on Ted, he needs a woman in his life, I just don't know if Melina is the right one. She gives me bad vibes and I know Mickie will not be happy about them too. Ah, I keep forgetting we have no clue where she is. I keep thinking at the back of my head, what if she is safe? What if she really just went to go get away and is lying by a beach somewhere?

I waited outside John's room, I was the look out, I felt like a ninja, ok well a spy then! I kept an eye out, especially for John, if he came instead of telling the detective, I could distract him, ah I'm a genius. Only, it wasn't John that came past, it was Randy. I tried to keep my head low, but he spotted me.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Just, you know, hanging out" I replied smoothly, he raised a brow, what did I look that suspicious? We heard a rumble in John's room. I coughed to cover it, maybe this wasn't my future career.

"What was that?" He asked suspiciously.

"Nothing" I shrugged. "Just have a bad coughs that all"

"Cody quit with the act, I saw John leave for his signing already, that can't be him, is it Ted?"

"No of course not, Ted is back at the hotel room with Melina, maybe John came back for something" How did me and this guy ever get along?

"Ted I'm not stupid"

"I'm not Ted" I grinned at him. He shook his head.

"What is going on? Is it to do with Mickie?" He questioned, did this guy not understand the meaning of nothing?

"I'm sorry, is it illegal to stand next to John's hotel room?" I knew I was being childish, but what the hey, he is an asshole and I don't really want him involved in this.

"If it's about Mickie I have a right to know" He told me sternly, I rolled my eyes.

"What right do you have? You lost that right a long time ago buddy" I was scared the detective and his team would come out and blow the cover, but I was speaking loudly so hopefully they could hear and was on alert.

"I still care about her Cody" He gritted his teeth.

"Oh yes, that's why you lead her on when you were still in a relationship, had sex with her anyway, got your other girlfriend knocked up, told her you used her and that she was pathetic and married the knocked up girlfriend because that Randy is what caring for someone really, sticking by them no matter what.." As soon as I had said those words, I felt hypocritical. I had been such an idiot with Ashley, oh man, I need to call her.

"I didn't want things to turn out this way" He muttered.

"Yeah, well neither did she and now she is missing and it's possibly all your fault" Maybe I was being a bit too harsh on him because if it is John that has kidnapped her, there is no reason to blame him. He just walked away after I said that, no way was I going to feel guilty, no way… ah man.

John's P.O.V

I walked in the room to see Mickie just laying their, faces the wall. She was getting weaker, any minute now she would give in. I shut the door loudly so she knew I was there. She turned to face me. "John, it's so hot" She moaned softly.

"You could always…take your clothes off" I grinned suggestively. I looked at her again, she had been crying, women. Why did they have to get so emotional? It's not like I'm torturing her or anything, I could be doing a lot worse! She should be grateful that I'm such a good guy!

"Let me go John" She sniffed; I sat on the bed next to her and stroked her hip softly with my thumb.

"I'm afraid I can't do that" I mumbled, she looked at me, tears started to build up in her eyes.

"I won't tell anyone, I swear, I won't, no one has to know, just please let me go" She started to cry, the room had finally gotten to her, I couldn't help but smile.

"Shh" I whispered into her ear. "It's ok"

"No, it's not ok, it's never going to be ok, so stop telling me it's ok to be ok!" First she was crying, now she is getting pissy, time of the month? JEEZ.

"Don't get pissy with me" I snarled at her, she scoffed at me, she wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

"Please John, please" She crawled towards me.

"You know what you have to do" I grinned at her and laid back on the bed. She bit her lip, she looked so cute. I put my arm around her waist and pulled her into my chest. She looked up at me; I leaned down and gently kissed her on the lips, waiting for acceptance. At first she just stayed their, her lips against mine, she didn't return the kiss, but she didn't move away either, it wasn't until I forcefully pushed her head more into me that she started to kiss me back.

She gave in…and I am going to enjoy every moment of it.
