A/N: takes place in early 2002 before Jason and Courtney and Liz and Jason are more friends than romantic
CHAPTER ONE
Robin was tired of being locked up in her room. She hadn't been allowed outside in months. She figured she had been there for at least six months. The door to her room opened and Carly Corinthos was tossed in. Robin ran over to her to see if she was hurt, she had some bruises. Robin saw the bruises and wondered why Carly was here. Robin went to help her up and saw bruises elsewhere too and wondered if beating her was all they did to Carly. Robin helps Carly up and Carly says to Robin, "What are you doing here?"
"I still have no idea even after being here for about six months. Do you know why you are here?" Robin asked.
"Sonny and Jason have this new enemy who is trying to take over Sonny's organization. They have been fighting them for a few months. He has tried to use Sonny's shipping lines to bring in drugs. Jason took care of the drugs from what I have heard. That is all I know about it."
"So these people are drug runners among other things. I don't know what they want with me though. I haven't been in Jason and Sonny's lives for three years so why am I here. Carly if we want out of here we need to work together. Forget the past and let's find a way out. I know the door is locked with a code and I haven't figured it out yet. They change the number of the lock every other day and that is why I haven't cracked the code yet."
"You said you've been here about six months. You've must have learned something about them."
"Yes, I know quite a bit about these people. I know the names of the guards and I have tried flirting with them to get information but only certain guards will give out any information. I know they want something from me and they haven't found out anything from me and they use torture techniques to get what they want, they beat you, they use rubber hoses with water and electricity and shock you, they take whips and chains to your back, they have used chains where you are hung from them spread out naked but luckily the guards do not touch you, one tried and he was killed right in front of me with a knife across his throat, they don't come on to me not after that happened."
"Oh God is that what will happen to me."
"I don't know Carly, they want some information from me and I know by their questions that it has to do with my step-father Duke Lavery who ran the mob in Port Charles years ago. They keep asking questions and I refuse to answer them, so they beat me some more or torture me in other ways, but I refuse to give them what they want. There is no way I am going to do that."
"If you give them what they want maybe they will release you or us."
"No, Carly, if I give them what they want they will kill me. Think about that when they ask questions of you. You would never get to see your children again. They will kill you after they get the information that they want. No going home ever because you will be dead." Robin tells her.
"What do we do then?"
"We wait for an opportunity to get out of here or hope that Sonny and Jason finds out who has you and when they come for you they will find me too. I can hope that they can get us out of here. Until then there is nothing we can do about it, hope that Sonny and Jason finds us or I crack the code and if I can do that then we will get out of here on our own. I know the way out of here we just need out of this room on our own terms. If we can do that then we have a fighting chance, if we don't then we will be stuck here until they decide to kill us."
"Those are our only options?"
"Yes. Those are our only options, unless you can come up with something."
"No, I don't know what to do I have never been kidnapped before."
"It's no fun. This isn't the first time I have been kidnapped. Remember my parents were spies. My father, Uncle Sean and Uncle Mac has all been Commissioners along with my Mother. So I know what to do in this kind of situation and they probably know that which is why they change the numbers for this room every other day. The code they change which is why I am still here, I can't figure it out they seem to randomly pick the numbers for the lock on the door."
"And you could get us out of here if you could figure out the numbers for the door."
"Yes, Carly I could. Now we need to work as a team to get out of here. Put the past behind us and work together it's our only option. If we stick together I think we can get out of here."
"Alright, I can do that. I want out of here as fast as I can get, my children won't understand that I am not there. Michael and Morgan, I already miss them and Sonny and Jason."
"I know and hopefully we won't be here much longer. Hopefully either we will find a way out or Sonny and Jason figure out where you are and they come to get you and find me too."
"What about your family? Surely they will be looking for you."
"No I was supposed to go to Africa and every few weeks they send a message to Mac and my Mom so they don't know I am missing. These monsters make me leave messages on their email and if I don't than the punishment was severe to say the least, torture at the finest, they put me in a sweat box until I will email them. Those sweat boxes are not fun. Try never to anger them enough to get put in there. I lost ten pounds in the three days I was in there."
"You were in there for three days?"
"Yes, not fun at all, horrible in fact I think I would rather be beat than be in there. Now let's lay down and get some sleep while they will allow it. They won't let you sleep for days hoping to loosen your tongue that's another form of torture. They have injected me with drugs and I still wouldn't tell them what they want to know."
"What do they want to know?"
"Carly, I know it's about Duke not sure what they want I have an idea though but I am not going to say because they could be listening. Go to sleep Carly while they let you sleep."
Carly and Robin lay down and go to sleep not knowing when they would be rescued.
