Chapter 2
Johnny slept for a few days while he was recuperating from what had happened to him. Kiki took care of him daily, she still didn't know what this man was doing here in Port Charles.
Today he was sitting up in the bed as Kiki brought in some breakfast on a tray, she couldn't cook so it was just some milk and cereal, toast with jam.
"Im sorry Im not much of a cook," she apologized setting the tray on the bed carefully.
"Thank you," he said as he put the tray on his lap carefully and picked up his spoon to begin eating.
"Let me get you some juice," Kiki said disappearing towards the kitchen.
Johnny watched as the young woman disappeared into the kitchen. He picked up a slice of toast and began to eat. It tasted heavenly. He didn't realize how hungry he was until he started to devour the food. He couldn't get enough to eat as he was nibbling away at everything she had placed on his breakfast tray.
He was munching on a spoonful of cereal when she walked back into the room, carrying a tall glass of juice.
"Freshly squeezed?" he asked as she handed it to him.
She smiled,"Yes it is," she said. " I like to use the juicer and make my own juice in the mornings."
Johnny took a sip of the juice,"Mmm tastes great," he said. He set the glass down carefully and went back to eating his cereal.
"If you want more let me know. There is plenty," Kiki said.
"How did you get the name Kiki?' he asked curiously.
"I got the nickname when I was a little girl," she stated. "My mom called me Kiki and it just stuck."
"What's your real name?"
"Lauren," she replied. "But everyone calls me Kiki."
He finished eating breakfast and she took his tray. It was now time for her to change his bandages. Thankfully, now that he had been resting, he wasn't bleeding as heavily. Hopefully, now his wound would have a chance to heal.
Very gently, she washed his wound and placed a clean bandage on what appeared to be a gunshot. She looked into his eyes, asking questions, but she was certain he wouldn't answer them, so she did not say a word. She hoped that he would eventually trust her enough to tell her what had happened to him.
Once he was all bandaged up she sat on the edge of the bed.
"where is your family? do you have any in Port Charles?" she asked him. Surely someone was missing this man from their life. Parents, sibling, wife and kids? Someone.
"I don't have any family anymore," Johnny replied," they are all dead," he said.
"Ohhh gosh," said Kiki. "I am sorry to hear that. I don't have any family to speak of either, except my little sister."
She let out a heavy sigh. "I don't claim my mom anymore," she said, rolling her eyes. "And my dad... well, sadly he's dead."
Johnny saw the pain and sorrow glowing in her eyes. Perhaps she was sad and lonely just like him. Maybe...
Nah, he wouldn't go down that road. He wasn't interested... or was he?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Kiki asked.
"Like what?"
"I dunno... well, you just had this look in your eyes... as if... as if you were looking inside my soul."
Johnny changed his expression, quickly disguising the attraction he was feeling for her. "I was just... thinking about what you said. It seems we have a lot in common, you and I. We both lost our family."
"I have Avery, my baby sister. I adore her. I really wish I could see her more."
"Tell me more about Avery, where does she live?" Johnny asked.
"She's still a baby, she lives with the dreadful woman who calls herself my mother. I tried to get custody of her once, it didn't work," Kiki said.
"You want to raise her?" he asked.
"Of course, it would be better than my mother doing it."
"What if I told you I had a way to get you more time with your sister?" he asked.
"What kind of way?" Kiki questioned. She gave him an odd look, wondering what in the world he might have in mind.
Seeing the questions in her eyes, Johnny backed off. He didn't want Kiki to know what he was planning. It would be much better if it was a surprise.
As soon as he was out of this, bed he would get Avery for Kiki. He didn't want Kiki's little sister to be raised by Kiki's so-called mother. Avery should be with Kiki... and Johnny was determined to bring Kiki and Avery together.
He'd wait until Kiki fell asleep, then he would set his plan into action.
XoxoXo
Later that day when she was sure that Johnny would be alright, Kiki went to take a nap. She had to work tomorrow.
"I'll be taking a nap if you need me," she said to him," don't hesitate to wake me if its important."
"Alright thanks," he said.
She walked into her bedroom leaving him in the spare room.
Johnny waited until he was sure that Kiki was fast asleep, then he ventured out into the living room. He sat down at Kiki's desk and began typing at the computer. He was using his connections to look up information on Kiki's mother. It wasn't long at all until he found out everything he needed to know about Ava Jerome, including her address.
He was going to pay a personal visit to Ms. Jerome. Soon, Kiki's little sister would be exactly needed to be - with Kiki. A little girl deserved a good home and he was certain that Kiki would provide a loving environment for Avery. Kiki had said that Ava was an awful mother. The courts wouldn't give Kiki custody, so Johnny had to take matters into his own hands. Kiki had helped him - now he would help her.
Johnny walked more than several blocks to where Ava Jerome lived. He went into her apartment building and took the elevator up to the fifth floor. When he got off the elevator, he saw her leaving her apartment. "Hi there," she said. "My name is Ava. I haven't seen you around. I know, because I would remember someone as hot as you."
She was making eyes at him while pushing a baby stroller. Johnny got a glimpse of the baby. She was really cute with dark hair and a pacifier in her mouth.
"What's your name?" Ava asked. She was totally ignoring her baby while she ran her eyes up and down Johnny's body. She was checking him out!
"I'm Jack," he lied as he looked at Ava. She looked so desperate and needy. She was in serious need of getting laid.
"Want to come into my apartment?" she asked while wiggling her eyebrows at him. "I was going to take Avery for a walk, but now that you're here... well, I thought you might like to come in for a drink."
"Sure," said Johnny as he wanted to get into Ava's apartment. Once he got her occupied, he'd make off with the baby. Soon little Avery would be reunited with Kiki and Johnny was going to make it happen.
"Make yourself comfortable, I'll be back," Ava said disappearing into the bedroom. She stood in front of her lingerie assortment trying to decide.
Outside Johnny picked up little Avery wrapped in the blanket and took off sneaking out of the apartment with the baby in his arms.
As Johnny was leaving the apartment, he grabbed the already packed diaper bag which was hanging on the baby's stroller. He held Avery in his arms as he got on the elevator.
"I am taking you to see your sister. Kiki misses you," Johnny said to Avery as she looked up at him with big brown eyes.
Avery cooed. She seemed to be a very happy baby. Johnny hoped he could get off the elevator and out of the building quickly before being spotted. He wanted to get Avery to Kiki right away.
He made it off the elevator at the ground floor and left he walked as quickly as he could holding the baby in his arms.
He made it down the street and far away from Ava's apartment.
A few minutes later, Johnny arrived back at Kiki's apartment building holding a squirming little girl. It would appear that the baby was getting hungry. He walked into Kiki's apartment just as Avery started to cry.
Meanwhile, back at Ava's, she walked out of her bedroom wearing a tight-fitting red and black negligee. She had a huge smile on her face, because she was thinking about seducing the hot-looking guy in her living room.
"I'm ready!" she called out.
But as she entered her living room, she discovered that the man that she hoped to seduce had disappeared. Then to her extreme shock and horror, she discovered that little Avery was also missing!
"Ohhh my God!" Ava cried out as she ran over to her phone. "My baby girl has been kidnapped!"
