CHAPTER ONE

No one but Monica and Alan knew that Robin was going to take part in the Auction. No one else knew that Robin was coming home for good. Robin had accepted a job at GH, with Robin's credentials any hospital would have loved to have her, yet GH is where she wanted to work and always had. She was glad she was coming home to stay and no one would be chasing her from her hometown again, not Sonny or Carly Corinthos or Jason Morgan or anyone else. She was home to stay.

She knew that Patrick Drake would find her eventually but she hoped he would leave her alone. The chances of that were slim she knew. He probably was already in Port Charles looking for her. He was not going to ruin tonight for her though. Alan and Monica told the rest of the Q's that they would pick up Robin from the gatehouse where Robin was staying so no one would see her and know she was in town she had hid out in the gatehouse on the Q's property. The three of them arrive for the event and Robin is dropped off in back going into the building so no one will see her until the auction starts. Ned hides her in one of the rooms and tells her Monica would call her when the ladies were ready to step out on stage.

Monica has coffee and wine or whatever you want to drink portion of the party in swing then she calls Robin and tells her five minutes, so Robin with Ned's assistance comes down to a little room off from the ballroom and waits for Monica to call her name. All the female names are called and they come out one by one so the gentleman can be told about them. Monica shocks everyone when she says "Almost all the ladies' have been called but one, Please come out Dr. Robin Scorpio." The whole room went quiet.

Robin Scorpio comes walking out in a designer dress and stuns everyone, she walks over to Monica as planned. "This here ladies and gentlemen is Dr. Robin Scorpio for those of you who don't know her, she is featured in the Medical Journal for this month on her new protocol that as of now has saved hundreds of lives and it has just been approved for distribution here in the United States which has been being used in Europe and tested there. The FDA approved it and GH was lucky to get Dr. Robin Scorpio to consent to come home and GH hired her so she will be working at GH. She starts in two weeks at GH. We are all lucky to have her coming home." Which makes a shocked Sonny and Jason happy along with Robin's family.

The audience claps and Robin smiles big until she sees Patrick Drake, Sonny, Jason and Mac knows now her smile is fake and a minute ago it wasn't. They three turn to look at what she is looking at and Mac cusses and Jason and Sonny who is sitting next to the Scorpio's hear Maxie say to Mac, "Daddy, Patrick Drake isn't going to hurt Robin again, is he?" Maxie is scared now for her sister as is Georgie, "Patrick can't bid on Robin, can he?"

Mac says "I will not let Robin be abused by him. He is in my town now. If he so much as steps out of line I will have him. As for tonight yes girls he could win her but let's hope he won't win."

Jason is confused about what is going on and decides to ask Alan so he gets up and walks over to Alan and asks to see him. Alan walks out of the ballroom and asks Alan who Patrick Drake is.

Alan asks Jason "Where did you hear that name?"

"I'm sitting next to Mac and he saw this Patrick Drake guy and said something about not letting Robin be abused by him. Please Alan tell me what and who Patrick Drake is?"

"Jason, I am bound by patient, doctor confidentiality but I will tell you this do not let Patrick anywhere near Robin. The results could be fatal for Robin. He is a very violent man and any woman that comes in contact with him is unfortunate and Robin came into contact with him and the consequences with that was horrific for Robin. Whatever you do, do not let him hurt Robin anymore." Alan than walks off.

Jason thinks for a minute and thinks of the last sentence and wonders what he did to Robin. He will help Robin if he can, he owed her that much at least. Robin helped him with Michael before she betrayed him by telling AJ the truth.

He walked back into the ballroom and took his seat between Carly and Courtney. He was distracted though and kept thinking of what Alan said violent, horrific, fatal and hurt Robin. What he is thinking that this man somehow abused Robin did not set well with him. He couldn't imagine anyone hurting Robin that way physically hurting her but as one lady and another came out on stage those words came to him again and again and he knew that he had to help Robin. She gave him his life. She taught him how to love. He didn't know how to help her but he would find a way to help her.

They finally called Robin and this is what angered Carly the most, her being home and everyone being happy that she was here in the city that Carly was in. A city Carly called home.

Patrick Drake finally spoke up when she was brought out and the bidding started, "I will give $500,000 for a date with her." He says shocking almost everyone.

Jason looks at Robin who looks scared and Alan's words comes back to him violent, horrific, fatal and hurt Robin and says to the shock of everyone "$750,000."

Courtney says "You can't bid on her."

"Yes, Courtney I can and am and I intend to win, Patrick Drake is not winning tonight."

"Jason?" Sonny asked.

"Reason yes. Now let me get back to bidding."

Patrick Drake knew who Jason Morgan was and he hated him for what he put Robin through. Jason had hurt her so much and Patrick had saved her and yes he had to punish her for thinking of him. Yes that part of Robin's life was over and he had to show her that by punishing her when she thought of him and now he was bidding on what was his, he would punish her for this too.

The two men went back and forth a few thousand at a time and Courtney and Carly was getting more and more upset. Sonny kept Carly and Courtney from saying anything with the threat of being taken back to the penthouse and not knowing what is going on. So they kept quiet.

Finally Jason had enough and bids "Two million."

Patrick was going to make him and her pay. He could not bid any higher he declined to go any further. The look he gave Robin and then Jason ran Jason's blood cold. There was something evil about the way he looked at them. Like you could see the evil in his eyes.

Courtney and Carly was very upset that Jason would bid that high on another woman and that it was Robin Scorpio, who Carly hates.
