Chapter 1

How could her little boy be gone? What was happening? Sami couldn't think staight. Everything was falling apart, how could this monster involve Will? Why? This was about her, not her son. Why couldn't they have taken me? Sami had too much time to think as she sat in her apartment, in the dark, on her couch. She was alone and through her mind ran every possible senario of what they were doing to him or what they were going to do. Her vision was blurred as went drops fell from her eyes to the floor. What if they're beating him, starving him? No I have to get him away from them. Who would do this, what kind of maniac would harm an innocent child? They will pay if it is the last thing I do!

Sami was hysterical. Her thoughts were travelling a mile a minute. She couldn't stop herself from imagining the worst and if there were one person on the face of the earth capable of letting her mind run loose in the wrong direction it was Sami Brady. Okay I got the call yesterday. No, no it was the day before that. Right. What if it was yesterday. Ahhh. I can't think straight. Why so fast? How did they even know my decision? How did they know I wouldn't give costody to Lucas? They must be watching me, ya so if I talk to them they'll hear me and do what I say! Sami calmed herself down and took a couple deep breaths and stood up, "Do you hear me, whoever you are. When I find my son, and believe me I will. I will make you pay, I will make you feel like feel right now and I won't stop until you fall and fall hard. I want you to hurt so badly you don't want to live anymore. And that's pain. Oh, believe me that feeling is horrible and I should know right?" And with that Sami sat down, back on the couch. She felt better but not much only a little bit.

Lucas, EJ, Austin and Carrie had been gone a little over an hour. Where are they, they should be back with news by now. Lucas had gone with her Dad to the police station to anwser questions and fill out a police report, Austin and Carrie had gone to Lucas' to call everyone they knew and EJ said he had a plan and Sami wasn't sure where he had gone. Sami had wanted to do something but her Dad had told her he wanted her to stay at home and think of something to help them find Will. Sami did have something, but she wasn't sure she could tell them. Yet, anyway. She knew she had to it was the only was they would find her son and she would not be selfish anymore. She would be person her son believed she know was. She was going to tell them. It was just a matter of how and when. Sami knew she would loose everyone as soon as she told them but she had to do it. Lucas, her sister and Austin would all despise her and would never trust her again and when they did find Will he would hate her too.

Sami stood with a start, she wasn't going to put this off any longer she was just going to march into the next apartment and tell them. Slowly Sami walked over to the door and went into the hall and to Lucas' door. She opened it and was caught off guard at what was in front off her. No this isn't what it looks like, they wouldn't do this, not when Will's missing. He's their nephew they wouln't. But it was them kissing passionately on the the couch, in each other's arms, with no intent on stopping.

"How is it that no matter what is going on you two can't stay away from each other for more than 5 minutes!"

Austin and Carrie immediately seperated, startled by the sound of Sami's voice. "Sami we can explain, it's not..."

"... what it looks like Carrie? Is that what you were going to say. How can it not be? You and Austin were going at it moments after we find out your nephew is missing. You couldn't keep your hands off one another long enough to help find my son!" And with that Sami burst into tiers again. Oh God why am I crying again?

"Sami," Austin started, "it is just tha-" "What, you and Carrie are so in love that you can't hide it anymore. That Carrie can't stand being married to Lucas and she needs you to go on. What that you two can't stand to wait another second until Will is found. Will may have only been your stepson for a couple weeks but he has been you nephew for his whole life. And Austin. I don't even know what to say, how many times have you told me you thought of Will as a son?"

"We're so sorry Sami! We didn't mean- for all of this. I'm your sister and I love you so much and I want to help find Will and bring him home. It was a mistake . What you saw, that won't happen again. I promise." It was then that Sami realized how Carrie was able to keep the perfect person act up. Her lies were told with so much senserity that you forgot everything and believed her. She seemed like she really was sorry and that she really did love her. But Sami had know Carrie long enough to see right through her prefection act.

Sami calmed down and looked her dear sister sraight in the eye. "Don't make promises you can't keep Carrie, I know that if not today, tommorrow or next weeks, it will be a month from now. You will leave Lucas and be with Austin again. I'm not blind. I know that before or after we find Will you two will be reunited. and you know what? I'm not upset by that. Aside from the fact that Lucas will be hurt, I really don't give a damn!" And with that Sami walked out of the apartment.

I can't believe them. They are so hypocrrtical Sami started toward her door when Lucas came through the elevator door. Sami ran over to him, "Lucas, please tell me you found out something. Please."

Lucas could see the pain in Sami's eyes. How could he tell her he didn't know anything. how could he break her heart? "Sami. No. I don't know anything. But I promise we will find him!" And with that Sami fell into Lucas' arms silently crying. He stood there and held her for what seemed like an eternity.
