"Oh my goodness!" Sam said as her mind raced in a million different directions and she felt her eyes start to well up, "This is definitely not from the cops outside and how the hell did it get in here if they're supposed to be watching us?"

The PI in Sam knew what she had to do to solve the case, but the motherly instinct inside made her want to rip someone's head off and kill anyone who threatened her little girl.

"Mommy!" she heard Danni yell from her room.

Sam ran in to find her little girl waking up from some sort of nightmare. She sat down on the side of the bed, held her little girl in her arms and stroked her back.

"Don't worry princess, Mommy is right here and I'm not going anywhere," Sam reassured her as she fought back the tears and tried not to show her daughter how terrified she really was. Sam needed Jason and he wasn't there.

"Promise you'll stay?" the little girl asked as she trembled with fear. Sam wanted to know what the nightmare had been about and what was on that DVD, but she knew she needed to comfort her daughter first. She was hoping Chuck was taking care of the DVD.

"I promise, now let's get you up and dressed," Sam said with a smile to help her little girl feel better.

Danni sat up and Sam started brushing her long brown hair. "Honey did you have a bad dream?" Sam asked her.

"Uh Huh, I was in the garage like the other night but I couldn't find you. The man took me to a dark and scary place. Then I woke up."

"Baby I know you are scared and sometimes Mommy gets scared too. It's ok to feel scared but we're gonna get through this and keep you safe. The police are looking for clues because Mommy and Daddy love you very much and the day you were born we knew we would take care of you forever. Danni, we love you so much." Sam kissed her daughter all over her face and then started to tickle her to lighten the mood.

"Stop. I want Daddy here," the little girl yelled.

Sam brushed her bangs out of her face. "I know you do baby and so do I. He'll be home soon."

"Ms. McCall?" Chuck asked standing in the doorway. He had been watching Sam and Danni for a few minutes.

"Yes Chuck?"

"I'm going to leave you two with the police and check into that package."

"I want to look into that too and get Spinelli in on it."

"Sam I think Danni needs you right now and we will take care of it. Spinelli's services will be most useful and we will keep you updated. I think I speak for Mr. Morgan when I say he would want you to stay here with her."

"Oh no, Jason…I told him I'd go see him today."

"I'm sure he'll understand." Chuck said as he watched Danni climb onto her mom's lap indicating she didn't want Sam to go anywhere.

"We'll be fine. I'll talk to Sonny. Maybe Max and Milo could come over here plus the police officers. We can't be too careful. Thank you, Chuck."

Even with all the protection, Sam had never felt more alone. As she helped her little girl get dressed, she remembered how protected she felt with Jason and how she'd missed that. She missed his touch, his hugs, and his protection. As Danni ate her cereal, she looked at Sam with her beautiful blue eyes and smiled. Sam knew that their daughter needed her, but she also knew that she needed Jason.

Just then, there was a knock on the door and Sam went to open it. The tall blonde came walking in. "Sam when were you going to tell me you were in trouble and that the psycho is back?" Carly asked.

"Shh! Carly. Danni can hear you and she's already scared enough.

"Didn't you think to call me and tell me about what happened? After all, Franco was obsessed with Josslyn originally."

"Carly, Franco's obsessed with anyone connected to Jason it's not all about you. It's all happened so fast. I just need to focus on keeping Danni safe."

"I know how bad that sounded Sam. It's just when Jax told me about Danni being taken I thought about Josslyn's crib and I know he never hurt Josslyn, but—

"Carly I get it. Let's just see -"

"Hi Aunt Carly," a little voice called out.

"Hey Danni, I stopped by to talk to your mommy for a while."

"Where's Josslyn?"

"She's at home with the nanny today. You two should schedule a play date soon."

"Maybe today."

"You know I am actually headed home, you could come with me."

"Actually I need to go see Jason today. If the guards can follow, maybe the girls could play together." Sam didn't want to let Danni out of her sight but she trusted Carly, Max and Milo and without Jason she knew she needed to trust others.

"Sounds like a plan," Carly said.

Sam knew that she needed Danni to be safe so she could try and get to the bottom of this and go see Jason. Carly may be crazy, but she knew how to protect kids.

Jason looked at his watch. He knew after he talked to Sam that she needed to talk to him and he's expected he to be there early in the morning, but it was already afternoon. What could possibly be taking her so long? Was everything ok? He really needed to know.

"Morgan, you have a visitor," the guard said.

As Jason walked down the hall, he thought about what he could do to reassure Sam. He just wanted to hold her in his arms and walk out the door with her, but that just wasn't possible. The door opened and Jason saw Sam sitting at the table, she was more beautiful than ever. Sam stood up and as Jason stood across from her, he grabbed her hands and placed a gentle kiss on them. He wanted to do so much more for her. "Hey gorgeous, I've been wondering about you and Danni."

"Jase I wanted to get here sooner, but it's been…well…an eventful morning."

"Is everything ok? Where is Danni?"

"Jason it's not ok. You're here and I can't do this alone. I need to be there for our daughter and some psycho wants her to get to you. It's not fair. This is not what it's supposed to be like! Danni needs me Jason and I need you!"

Jason rubbed her arm and looked into her eyes. He knew Sam was reacting to the situation. "I'm so sorry babe. I want to be there so bad and I've been trying to wrap my brain around Franco. I just can't. I tried to get Claire Walsh to release me and all I got was a phone call. Who knew that me protecting Michael would mean I wouldn't be able to protect our daughter." Tears filled Jason's eyes and he and Sam sat there and cried together for a moment.

"Well isn't this great," Sam laughed nervously as Jason grabbed her hands even tighter, "Someone's trying to take our daughter and we're both a complete mess. I'm sorry Jase, I didn't mean anything it's just so, so frustrating."

"Sam I don't know how much time we have. What is your theory?"

"Ok Jason the day someone took Danni, and I think that someone was Franco, I received a strange phone call. The voice on the other end sounded familiar and was trying to get me to buy some hot tub chemicals, so I went outside to check and see what I had. That eliminated me from the apartment and gave someone else access to Danni. Jason that voice was Ronnie's."

"That son of a bitch has probably been working with Franco all along!"

"Jason this morning we received a DVD." Sam continued to tell Jason everything Spinelli had discovered about the DVD. The DVD included a lot of video footage of past weeks. "Jason someone's been watching us and Spinelli believes from surveillance footage that a police officer slipped it under the door. I'm a PI, how did I not know we were being followed and video- taped?"

"Sam, don't beat yourself up. I should have been there, but we can't change that."

"Lucky knows Ronnie is involved, but he needs proof. I trust Lucky, but Jason I don't know who else to trust. I really should get back to Danni."

Just then the door opened and Claire Walsh walked in.

"Ms. McCall, Mr. Morgan we are doing everything we can to keep your daughter safe. Please know that we appreciate your good behavior and your willingness to help us out in the past-"

Was this what Sam and Jason had been waiting for, was he going to get released? As they looked into one another's eyes, each knew what the other was thinking. Maybe Claire was going to release Jason.
