Disclaimer I don't own them JE does, I am just having fun with them.

This is not going to be Joe friendly so if that bothers you, you might want to read this story.

Sometimes it is so nice to have friends in high places, Joe thought to himself as he looked at Steph's unconscious body in the seat next to him. It's even better to have a friend who is an enemy of your enemy.

Joe knew that Ranger was nothing but a thug and was sure he was going to get Steph killed one of these days. When she got her arm broken on her last distraction job that was the last straw, he had to do something.

This is when he came up with "the plan" He hired a punk to spike Steph's drink while she was waiting for Ranger at a bar. In a disguise so good, he could have looked straight into a surveillance camera and no one would have known it was him, he carried her out of the bar.

The best part was he had boarded a plane two days ago and no one knew he was back in town. His alibi was airtight. All he had to do now was drop Steph off at the safe house with her guard, wait for the phone call to tell him she was missing and make the trip home to start his "search for her".

Oh yes, this plan was perfect. When it was all over Steph would be his and she would never have anything to do with Ranger again. Life couldn't get any better than this.

Steph's POV

What the hell is happening? It's so dark and I can't open my eyes. They're so heavy and my head is pounding. Who fucking put the little hammer guy in there? Why can't I remember what happened? How did I get here, where the fuck ever here is. Come on Steph get it together. Open your eyes. Someone's coming open your eyes, come on open your eyes. "Here Babe take a drink for me, its ok I have you." Oh thank God, Ranger is here. I'll be ok. Oh, I feel so tired, I really need to sleep, I don't want to but I can't keep myself awake.

Joe's POV

What an ingenious device, I can say anything I fucking want and I sound just like Ranger. She'll only remember bits and pieces of this. I am sure. She won't remember me until she's saved. This plan is so well set out; even I am impressed with myself.

With the rufies keeping Steph from being cognizant and this device making my voice sound like Rangers, there is no way she will be able to finger me as her abductor.

I hate having to shower with that nasty ass green shower gel, but I know that Steph loves it and it will help keep Ranger on her mind while she is here.

We have been here for a day and things are going great, Steph has already relaxed because she thinks that stupid spic is here. All I have to do now is sit back and wait for the missing person's phone call to come in and then I am home free.

Oh, I can't wait to see that thugs face. He is not going to know what hit him when Steph looks at him with pure hatred in her eyes.

I guess it is time to start torturing her so she will have plenty of reason to hate that bastard. This is the only part of my plan I don't like, but as Machiavelli said, the ends justify the means.

Back to Steph

Oh God my head is pounding, wait where am I? Think, Ranger was here, I'm safe. It's ok. Wait a minute, if Ranger is here why am I blindfolded and why am I handcuffed face down. Something is wrong here, seriously wrong. Get it together, Steph, someone is coming.

"How are you doing Babe? Are you comfortable? I suppose you are wondering why you are here. I told you I don't do relationships but I decided I was going to have you any way. I know this is not what you had in mind but you have given enough partial consent. I can't have you the normal way. You see, you're a fuck up and I can't have you ruining my reputation, but I am going to keep you just the same. We are going to do this now Babe, and we are going to do it the way I like it. You are going to love this."

What is going on, why is Ranger being so cruel? All he had to do was tell me he wanted me and he could have had me. OMG did he just call me a fuck up and what are we going to do.

I can feel the tears start sliding down my face as my panties are ripped from my body. I can feel him grab me by my hips and bring me to my knees, Oh My God! This can't be happening to me. Ranger isn't doing this. But he is he just slammed hard inside me. With one hand, he's pulling my hair and with the other, he's pressing down on my back. He's saying the most vial things to me. How could he call me these things? How could I have loved him and not seen any of this?

"How do you like it Steph, it's time you learned your place. I am the strong one and you are nothing but a weak, pathetic piece of ass. That's right slut, cry show me you're weak. You can fight it all you want, but we both know you love it this way. You love it doggie style just like every other bitch I know." He words were dripping with sarcasm. His words were so cruel.

Ranger was pounding into me so hard and it hurt more than you could imagine. The physical pain wasn't the worst part, though. The worst part was what he was doing to my heart. I hope he kills me because I don't think I want to live anymore. He is finally finished, thank God. Ouch, what was that prick, oh a shot, sooo sleepy.

Meanwhile back in Trenton...

Where the hell is she? It's as if Steph just disappeared off the face of the earth, but how? It just wasn't possible.

It's been 24 hours and no one has seen her. The last time she was seen was at the bar she was supposed to be meeting me at, to do a distraction.

The bartender said she left hanging all over a 6 foot 6 bald black man. That just doesn't add up to me. Why would Steph leave when she knew I was on my way? The guy's face was caught on a security camera, but it hasn't registered anywhere and he left no prints at the bar.

She can't have disappeared without a trace. I am going to go crazy if we don't get a lead soon. At this point, I would take a lead from that Spencer kid on criminal minds.

"Tank get your ass in here! Do you have anything yet?"

"Sorry boss we're covering every part of Trenton and nothing has come up yet. Has anyone called the cop yet? I think it's time he cuts his vacation short. Besides, he will be pissed if we wait any longer to tell him. Do you want me to call him boss?"

"No I will make the call. Keep digging. We need a lead and we need it now."

Ring, ring, ring...voice mail

"Morelli its Ranger Steph's been missing for twenty seven hours. We don't have any leads. Thought you would like to know.

Tbc…
