Chapter 1

Sam and Jason are trying frantically to track down Michael and Kristina, who are on the run after Claudia's car accident. Michael is convinced that he caused his stepmother to run off the road which in turn made her miscarry. After his dad, Sonny Corinthos, yelled at him he did just as he had done before when he had accidentally shot his father's girlfriend at the time Kate Howard and nearly killed her. Kristina believed that she was the one who really caused the accident but Michael convinced her otherwise. The clues led to the fact that the two teenagers were on their way across the border into Mexico. Sam and Jason knew they had to bring Michael and Kristina back home to Port Charles so they took off in Jason's black SUV in pursuit of the wayward pair. Sam didn't know what she would do if something happened to her sister Kristina. She promised Alexis that she would find Kristina and her home safely.

Jason and Sam arrived in Mexico. "Jason, it says their bus arrived at 11:00 p.m. last night," Sam tells Jason. " Okay, let's see if we can figure out at which hotel they may be staying," Jason replied to Sam. They had several choices so Sam and Jason split up to check the hotels, whoever found them first would let the other know. Sam walked into the lobby of the first hotel and asked the desk clerk if he had seen these two teenagers, as she showed him a picture if Michael and Kristina. He said that he had not seen them so Sam walked down the street to a small rundown hotel and stepped inside. Everyone turned and stared as she walked toward the front desk. "Hello, I am looking for these two teenagers have you seen them ?" Sam asked politely. "I am not certain," the women behind the desk replied in broken English. "Are they in trouble?" she asked curiously. "No, they have just run away from home the girl is my younger sister and I want to bring her home safely," Sam explained. "They were here but they were not alone there was a man with them," the clerk volunteered somewhat reluctantly. Sam asked the clerk for a description of the man. The clerk told Sam that he had light colored hair and spoke with an accent, not American. He had told the pair that he would help them so they went with him instead of getting a room at the hotel. Sam froze, could it be, Jerry Jacks she thought to herself. Why would he be in Mexico with Michael and Kristina. She pulled out her cell phone and called Jason.

"Hey, where are you now?" she asked. "Meet me in front of the Los Amigos Hotel in five minutes," she said then hung up the phone. Jason arrived and she began to tell him her suspicions about Jerry Jacks. "We have to find them before Jerry does something to them you know he is a sociopath," Sam said with concern in her voice.

It was not long before Jason and Sam had a lead on Jerry. He had been spotted earlier that day in the outdoor market. After nearly an hour Sam decided that they were going to have to split up so they could cover more ground before dark. About a half an hour later Sam rounded the corner on a busy street downtown. She thought she caught a glimpse of Michael and Kristina so she began to walk toward them. Suddenly someone was behind her and covered her mouth. "Sweet Sam, it is a pleasant surprise to see your lovely face again," Jerry leered. Sam struggled and managed to get free from Jerry's grasp. "Where are Michael and Kristina, what have you done to them?" Sam asked angrily. "Why Samantha, is that any way to speak to an old friend?" Jerry laughed. "I believe the last time I saw you is when you left me to be blown to bits on Karpov's ship," he continued enjoying the game of cat and mouse with Sam. Sam tried to remain calm but she was both angry and scared at the same time, both for Michael and Kristina and for herself. She had indeed crossed Jerry and she was quite sure that would not bode well for her. "Well your plan was to kill me with that bomb and let everyone believe that you died as well," Sam said trying to remain calm and wishing that Jason was there. "Sweet Sam" he said as he touched Sam's hair and she flinched. She repeated her earlier question, "what have you done with Michael and Kristina?" "I know you have them," Sam accused him. "You are correct in your assumption Samantha, I do indeed have the two youngsters and they are fine," Jerry told Sam. "I want to see them now," Sam demanded. Jerry motioned to a car parked on the side of the street. Sam hesitantly got in the back as Jerry slid into the passenger's seat. She knew that she should call Jason but she did not want to spook Jerry. She prayed that everything would work out alright. They drove for what seemed like an hour. Sam had a sinking feeling in her stomach. " Ah, here we are Sweet Sam," Jerry announced as the driver pulled into what looked like an abandoned auto mechanic's garage. He opened the door and Sam stepped inside in front of Jerry. He turned on the light in the front room. Sam did not see any signs of Michael or Kristina. She began to think of her next move.
