Chapter 12: Doubt In A Spell
July 14th, 2019
Friday came quicker than Charles and FP thought it would've. Simone and Xander arrived at the station early that morning. Charles gave them a wire to wear under their clothes when they came into the office.
"So, how is this going to work?" Questioned Simone as she looked over the equipment suspiciously.
"You will wear these wires and since he told you where to meet him. We will know where to find Cheryl, okay?"
"Okay." Both of St. Clair's said with nodding heads. Mrs. St Clair seems more leery to the idea than her husband.
An hour later, Charles had his headphones on listening to every word when he heard something that made his stomach churn.
"Nicky, we have something we would like to ask you." He heard shuffling in the background and than the voice of the man that Charles hated with all his heart. "Mom, Dad, what do you want to know?"
FP looked over at his son with weary look. He knew Charles was hurting just like the rest of them. Cheryl helped him get sober again, encourage him to tell them about his relapse. FP will forever be grateful that Cheryl did that for Charles. He really wanted to console his son but that would just have to wait.
"We were wondering if you knew anything about this missing girl from that town you visited Veronica Lodge three years ago? It seems quite strange doesn't it that someone that accused you ended up missing?"
He heard Nick laugh," Lodge? I haven't spoken to her since she and her crazy redhead boyfriend attacked me."
He was going to play that game. Alright bastard, FP thought inwardly. "Oh, we are so sorry. She lied to us, saying that you tried to sleep with her, is that true?"
"No, it's not." FP clenched his jaw angrily, trying to keep his cool. He didn't need to snap right now. He was undercover. He couldn't blow their operation. It was too dangerous. "Veronica came onto him, both times. She held me for ransom, Mom."
"Nicky, we are so sorry, son. Now we want our revenge on those Lodge's and even the Blossom family. That redhead family have some deep money they owe." Xander's voice carried on into FP's ears. It was just like what he told them to say.
"Oh, I got that Blossom bitch, Sherry."
"Oh, really?" Simone fakes shock. "Where?"
"Greenfield, three hours away from Greendale. She has a mouth on her, so be careful." He turned around to see his son, taking off his headphones and walk out of the office. He continued to listen in. "In one of our abandoned warehouses." FP dotted down the name on his notepad.
"Oh, brilliant, Nicky." A smile appeared on Jones' face. He was one step closer to finding Cheryl. One step closer, he kept reminding himself over and over.

Greenfield, Warehouse
The door banged open as Cheryl flickered her tired eyes. Who could it be? Again, Nick left for unknown reasons, nor did she care that much where that scum would go off to.
"Cheryl?" She blinked. "Are you in here?" Was that Tee-Tee? She grimaced as she tried to stand on her heels. Nick had been nice enough and also dumb enough to take off the shackles.
"Mmmh!" She screamed through the tape that slathered her mouth from making noises.
"Boys, stay behind me." She heard another voice. She knew that voice. But where has she heard it before? She screamed again. "Sandro, check the main entrance, Jen, you check upstairs." The voice became more familiar to her.
She stood on her throbbing ankle, wobbling over to the heavy door. She started banging her hands furiously against the material.
"Help me! Someone help me!" She tried to yell through the tape. Her words were coming out muffled. "PLEASE!" She cried pleadingly.
