Siobhan sat on the couch flipping through one of the books she had found on the shelf. Lucky had left a few hours ago telling her to stay put. She hated being told what to do but she reluctantly agreed to do as he said. He had been gone a long time and she was beginning to get a little stir crazy, despite the fact that she was in a mansion with tons of servants at her beck and call. She still felt all alone and in a strange place at that. She had never been outside her hometown of Galway and in the short time she had known Lucky she had already been to Rome and now America.
Just then she heard the creek of a floorboard coming from down the hall, "Lucky?" she called out thinking maybe he had returned from wherever it was he had gone. "Is someone there?" she called dropping the book on the table as she stood from her spot. Making her way down the hall towards the sound, just then she heard the sound of glass shattering causing her to jump. Tip toeing down the hallway she looked around for the source of the sound and her eyes landed on a table down near the end of the hall. There was a picture on the floor with the glass all shattered, kneeling down she picked up the frame leaving the broken glass on the floor. Crack! Someone had hit her from behind, the pain shooting through her head as she crumpled to the floor before everything went black.
Lucky stepped into the living room at Windermere, "Siobhan I'm back," he called out not seeing her anywhere. 'Maybe she had gone upstairs to lay down,' he thought as he traced his steps back out to the hallway before making his way down the hall to the staircase and that's when he saw it. Glass was all over the floor along with a broken picture frame but that wasn't what worried him, there was also blood nearby which sent him into a panic. "Siobhan, Siobhan." he yelled as he raced up the stairs to see that she was alright. 'She had to be alright.' he thought to himself. But as he pushed open the door seeing the empty room he knew she wasn't. Racing back down the stairs he made his way through the foyer, outside he found a trail of blood which he followed down to the dock. The scarf she had been wearing that morning was laying on the ground, bending down he picked it up and held it close. He had to find her.
Taking the launch back to Port Charles he raced down the dock, he wasn't sure how long ago they had taken her. They could have her anywhere by now but he wouldn't stop until she was safe and sound. He had only known her a short time but he was already protective of her, he just wanted her to be alright. Pulling out his cell phone he dialled his brothers number he wouldn't normally think of asking him for help. Not with what had happened between them lately but he needed all the help he could get at the moment. "Nikolas, I need your help. Siobhan's missing I think one of the Balkans men might have taken her."
"What what are you talking about?"
"I came home and she was gone. Where the hell are you, why weren't you home?"
"I had to run out for a little while, she said she would be fine by herself. I didn't think anyone would take her. Where are you?" he asked.
"On the docks."
"I'll be right there."
While he was waiting for Nikolas to show up his cell phone vibrated in his pocket, glancing at the caller ID he noticed it was one of the Balkans men. Clearing his throat he answer using the fake Irish accent, "Hello."
"Ronan we have your girl here."
"What girl would that be?" he asked pretending not to know what they were talking about.
"Don't play dumb with us Ronan or should I say Lucky."
"What do you want?" he asked losing the accent.
"We want a trade your girl for Brenda Barrett."
Just then Nikolas walked up and Lucky signalled for him to be quiet while he finished up the call, "Let me talk to her, I want to know that she's alright."
"Fine but we call the shots you do as we say or the girl dies."
"Lucky don't do it it's a trap," he heard her yell.
"Siobhan!" he yelled before the guy came back on the line.
"You have until 5 o'clock to bring Brenda to the Elm street pier, no cops and no tricks or else."
"Was that them?" Nikolas asked as Lucky placed the phone back in his pocket.
"Yeah they want to trade Siobhan for Brenda Barrett they said I have to have her at the Elm Street Pier by 5o'clock."
"Shit, this is all my fault if I hadn't left her alone none of this would have happened."
"Don't blame yourself it's not like you knew this was going to happen all that matters now is finding her. We need to call Jason and Dante."
"Dante, the Balkans men have Siobhan they want us to trade Brenda for her or they'll kill her."
"Siobhan's here?"
"Yeah I brought her back with me to protect her then this happened. Is Jason there with you?"
"Yeah he's here. We'll be right over."
Dante and Jason showed up a few minutes later, "Brenda and Sam are at Jakes until we figure out what were gonna do," Jason told them.
"Ok tell me exactly how did this happen. Tell me piece by piece, you said when you got there she was gone?" Dante asked.
"Yeah she was all alone."
"I had to step out for a few minutes and she said she would be alright. If I had known something like this would happen, I never would have left her alone." Nikolas told them.
"Thats when I followed a trail of blood from the house out to the docks so I crossed on the launch and called Nikolas. I just got a phone call from one of the Balkans men and there's something else you need to know, my cover was blown."
"What how?"
"I don't know someone must have been spying on me."
"Ok the most important thing now is to find her and not put Brenda in danger in the process."
"Alright they said they want us to bring Brenda to the Elm Street pier by 5o'clock, no cops." Lucky said frustrated that they were wasting time standing there talking when they should be looking for her.
"Alright what if we have Lucky bring Brenda to the pier and the three of us position ourselves around the area, out of view," Dante suggested.
"Alright well we better get going if we want this to work," Jason told them glancing at his watch. "I'll call Sam and tell her the plan. We better pray this works out."
"You ready?" Lucky asked Brenda as he pulled out his gun.
"As I'll ever be," she said with a sigh. Dante, Jason and Nikolas were already in place around the perimeter of the area planned as the spot they would meet and each of them were also armed. At exactly 5o'clock two armed men stepped out of one of the warehouses alone, "Where is she?" Lucky yelled pointing the gun at them.
"We'll tell you once you hand over Brenda Barrett."
"Tell me where she is first, I wanna know that she's safe."
"You little girlfriend is in the warehouse strapped to a bomb so if you don't hand her over we'll blow this place sky high," the man said holding up the remote. "Now give us Brenda Barrett."
"Here just give me Siobhan." Lucky said about to hand her over when shots were fired. Brenda raced over to Jason as Lucky ran to catch the remote before it hit the ground.
