EmyKate68 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Great cliffhanger - I'm so glad that Tony now knows. Really clever idea about the CCTV, I never thought of that at all. Can't wait for the next chapter
vale4eva Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Thanks peeps! Warning: Content maybe unsuitable for younger readers! Enjoy Chapter 45: “This … this isn’t …” he rambled in an incoherent babble. “No” he shook his head adamantly “… this can’t be …” he frowned, his vision still fixed on the image that had been paused on the screen. The very image of his son and adopted daughter kissing. “Tony” Jack spoke up warily, slightly worried for his father’s mental state. Turning his head to face Jack, his face and eyes were bitter through pain, sadness and betrayal. “How could you?” he added bitterly. “What?” Jack asked in a whisper, his voice and expression so hurt by his father’s reaction. “She’s my girl, my daughter, and you come in here and try and take her away from me” he accused him through large and ferocious eyes, “NO” he shook his head. “Not anymore”. “It’s not like that!” cried Jack in defence, “If you’ll just let me explain” he urged him, watching as his father hurried in packing up his stuff; clearly in a state of distress. “Tony! Please!” he pleaded, but Tony merely ignored him, mumbling something under his breath as he went. Unable to take much more, Jack rushed forward in a blaze, “Look will you just stop for a second!” yelled Jack, as he snatched the bag from his father’s hands; that and the sheer loudness of his voice finally causing him to stop. “Let me explain” he softly begged his father; hoping he’d give him a chance. Slowly releasing the bag, he let it fall gently to the ground. “No” he looked at him vacantly, “I think you’ve done enough” he added, his tone a little softer and less bitter than before. Re-taking his bag and grabbing his keys, he made his way towards the door. “So this is it then, is it?” Jacks voice once again brought him to a halt. “You’re going to just walk away” his voice questioned him, but Tony was in no mood to answer back. “You’re going to solve this by just ignoring me, brushing it aside, and pretending it never happened … well, that’s mighty big of you Tony”. Although on the outside Jack appeared relatively strong, inside he felt like crying. Crumbling up into a blubbering mess; scared and hurt by his father’s reaction. And what made it worse, he wouldn’t even give him the chance to explain. “Don’t push me boy” he answered in a low voice; keeping his back towards him. “Why?” Jack called out, “Because you might say something you’ll regret?” he paused for a moment, but he was fully aware he wouldn’t get a response “…or maybe you’ll just hit me instead. Is that it? … Well come on then, lets make this situation even worse shall well” he spat back. “I doubt it’ll do much good but it might make you feel better”, his eyebrows rose as he spoke. “After all, you’re all that matters in this aren’t you,” he mocked him with a forceful grin, before his eyes narrowed into a glare; slowly turning glassy through his anguish. “Well come on then” Jack kept on, “don’t you want to make your daughter proud?” he egged him on, tilting his face to one side, before he watched as his father slowly turned around to face him, his expression now not bitter, but drawn down in a sad and confused frown. Immediately feeling bad at his father’s saddened face, he sighed, “Tony, it doesn’t have to be like this” he began, “We honestly didn’t mean to hurt you”. He soon found himself frowning through bewilderment as he heard a gentle chuckle from his father’s lips. “Oh god” laughed Tony, as he shook his head, “he was right” he rambled, “I can’t believe he was right all along” he continued to shake his head. “That sergeant, the one from before, he thought you and Martha were together” he said as he looked across at Jack, “clearly he’s more observant than I am. But then again, they are trained inspectors!” he said as he pointed to Jack, giving him a wink, as his face grinned unnervingly wildly. “Tony, what are you talking about?” asked Jack; a little discomforted by his fathers strange behaviour. Silence now filled the room. His wide and sarcastic grin from before had now died down, and the blank vacant expression had returned. Following a brief silence, Tony spoke up, “You’ve made a mockery of this family” he concluded in a low tone of voice. “A mockery?” he repeated in disbelief at his fathers statement. Shaking his head he bit his lip hard, “this isn’t all my fault you know” Jack replied helplessly. “No, but this wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t pursued it” he began, “Martha’s a very vulnerable young woman, and you took advantage of that.” he went on with his accusations, as Jack merely stood there in bafflement, “I welcomed you with open arms Jack, no questions asked, and this is how you repay me”. “I didn’t take her away from you Tony; I just … fell in love with her … I didn’t realize that was such a crime”. Tony’s eyes met with his sons, a distinct look of dejection spread between the two men. A sigh passed by as silence filled the air. “Look Tony, can you honestly look me in the eye, and tell me that you didn’t see this coming? That you’re so unbelievably ignorant, that it didn’t even cross your mind?” Tony remained silent as he stood at the door, his head lowered downwards as he stared into space, “I think you should stay away from us for a while” he told him softly; almost in a trance. “What?” he replied in a disbelieving whisper, “What good is that going to do?” “I just think it’s for the best” added Tony, as he grabbed his coat off the hanger. “But … what about Eli? I … I can’t not see her.” “Actually, I’d prefer it if you stayed away from her as well” his father informed him. “No” he hushed in sheer devastation, tears suddenly glistening in his eyes; his head shaking at the words he was hearing, “you can’t make me, she’s my sister”. “Yeah, and so was Martha, and look how that turned out”. He scrunched up his face as the tears almost brimmed over, “Oh don’t be ridiculous” he retaliated, “It’s hardly the same!” “Look Jack, this isn’t a discussion, just accept it”. With that final order and one last glance, Tony left down the hallway… Standing alone and completely confounded, the tears slid down his cheeks; his face remained frozen however, his mind still processing his father’s last words. Everything he had ever loved, his father and mother, his baby sister and his beloved girl friend, had been taken away from him. Less than 24 hours ago, he had a family. Granted, life wasn’t that peachy, but at least he had a home to go back too, but now, it was as if he had nothing. It was like the past had returned to haunt him ... Following his mothers demise, he had found himself alone and severely vulnerable, with no friends and no family. He couldn’t bear to go through that again; all that pain and fear of the unknown. No, he wouldn’t allow himself to lose everything, not again. Not after he’d been given a second chance. Pulling himself together and wiping away his tears, he grabbed his jacket. Storming out of the club in sheer determination he headed for home… Jack wasn’t about to give up without a fight! Preview: Things go from bad to worse.
