Stuart and Tyrone walk in to the police station the following Monday. After Emmett and Bartholomew were kidnapped; it was more important to try and find what out what the police chief knew. Reaching the front counter; “Police Chief O’Neill is expecting me” Stuart says calmly. Inside he was nervous but he didn’t want to show it. “It’s Stuart Johnson.”Picking up the phone behind the counter; the police officer says Stuart’s name before hanging up; “Right this way” he says, escorting the two of them through the doorway.“Mr Johnson” Alan says as Stuart walks through his office door. “Tyrone, you can wait in the hallway.”“If it is all same to you, Sir; I would like Tyrone to stay” Stuart says, taking a seat in front of the Police Chief. “I have asked him here for his help.”“If you insist, please call me Alan” Alan answers a glint of frustration crossing his eyes. “I was told you went to see Seamus O’Connor. Is that true?”“Yes” Stuart answers bluntly. “I was doing a follow up story on
Emmett was waiting in Richard’s office for Tyrone to return. He wanted to get his point of view before he spoke with Stuart. “Are you meant to be back at work?” Richard asks him, concern etched on his face. “You went through a pretty big ordeal with Bart. You need time to heal.”“It’s no different to what I’ve been through with Paul” Emmett states, shrugging his shoulders.“Touché” Richard laughs, taking out some files from his draw. “I’ve employed another two work crews for the additional load we received; we may need to employ more, depending on how things go. Here is a list of new employees along with their qualifications.”Glancing over the files; “I trust your judgement” Emmett says as Tyrone walks through the door. “You’re back” he exclaims, turning his focus onto Tyrone. “And?”“I don’t know if he is being paid by Dr Springfield or he only looks the other way” Tyrone begins, taking a seat next to Emmett. “I have to give it to Stuart; he knows what questions to ask, to find out
Seamus knew what Alan was planning to do. He was going to come clean to Stuart, Drake and whoever else were involved. He was still safe in jail and hoped it was Alan who would get the ramifications from what he was about to do and Siobhan, Patrick and Maddison would not be hurt in the meantime.“Siobhan, I’m worried. If Pappa does what I think he is going to do; Jeremy will retaliate. You and the kids will be in danger” Seamus says to his wife over his daily phone call.“Dad’s a good cop” Siobhan answers him. “He may not have been in my life as much as I wanted; he loves me and the kids. He won’t let Jeremy or anyone else hurt me.”“Why are you always defending him?” Seamus huffs down the phone. “He’s the reason I’m in here.” ‘Even if it was the only way to keep the three of you safe’ he adds in his mind.“We have to trust Dad knows what he is doing” Siobhan answers her husband. “Besides, if this plan works, we can be rid of Jeremy for good. He won’t be able to hurt anyone again.”“Ok
It wasn’t long before everyone involved were led into a large interview room “You were summons too?” Emmett remarks seeing Tyrone and Richard sitting on two chairs in front of a desk. “Trevor will be here shortly.”“He’s already here” Richard replies, coming over to Emmett, Simone and Lester. “Chief O’Neill is talking to him in another room.”“Sorry to keep you all waiting. I’ve explained to Mr Hunter there is no need for his services” Alan states, coming into the room and taking a seat behind the desk. “It’s not often I get to pretend I’m arresting two CEO’s and their entourage” he adds with a chuckle.“What was supposed to be our crime?” Emmett questions, taking a seat next to Simone. His eyes growing dark with anger.“There is no crime. I told Bracks to tell you there was a warrant for your arrest” Alan states glancing at all the eyes in the room. “Before your four bodyguards decide to beat the life out of me. Let me explain.”“Explain quickly” Jason snarls at Alan.“I had you come
The following morning in Simone’s office; Emmett puts his arms around Simone’s growing tummy as she sits on his lap. “How are we supposed to expose two people when all we have is hearsay?” Stuart says, taking a seat next to Lester on the sofa. “We need strong evidence.”“We use what solid facts we have” Emmett replies, giving him a smile. “5 men arrested on the day of the takeover and the car accident was reinvestigated because of Paul’s statement to police. Sylvia was found guilty of luring mum and aunty Lest to Bay’s Bridge.”“Do another article” Lester remarks, glancing to his right. “If Max or Jeremy have eyes and ears within the police. You can guarantee they know we were taken down to the station yesterday. The public saw us getting into the back of the police vehicles. Use your interview with Seamus and state they thought we were colluding with him.”Stuart sits there and ponders for a moment; “I’ll do up a rough draft and bring it to your office for approval. If I can, I’ll le

The next morning; Stuart was meeting Lester, Simone and Emmett in Emmett’s office. “It was a good move to install the dash cam” Emmett states, glancing up at Stuart as he comes into the room, wearing sunglasses for the headache he got from the pain medication. His broken arm was set the night before and was in a cast and sling.“I figured, given their past with causing car accidents. It was best to install one” Stuart responds, taking a sip of water. “I told Janine she had to get the memory card from my phone to give to the police if anything happened to me in a car accident. I got it specifically for the dash cam footage.”“How are we going to play this out?” Simone asks, glancing between the men from the sofa.“Police Chief O’Neill is having Doctor Springfield escorted to the station for questioning. A little help from the media won’t go astray” Lester chuckles taking a seat next to Simone as her phone starts to ring.“Caitie, what’s up?” She answers, looking at Lester who sits up a
