*Ashley's POV*

I woke up in a condo. It seemed to hot to go back to sleep, but if I went outside to go home, I would probably die. I looked at the window and new that I wasn't in Missouri anymore. I looked and saw the trees, the beach, the sunshine and the people in swimsuits. I knew I was in Bret Dibiase's condo. Which means when he put me to sleep, he probably made it harder for the cops to find me so….. he dumped me here? Suddenly, I hear the phone ring.

I look at the caller ID to see one person's name: Bret Dibiase. I sigh while rolling my eyes to answer the phone.

*Phone Convo*

B- "Hello, Ashley."

A- "You put me to sleep, kidnap me, put me in your Florida condo, stay in Missouri where you know you can still get caught, and you have the nerve to call?"

B- "Bingo baby. But, there's one flow to your thinking: That's not my condo." My blood ran cold. "It was Ted's. Now it's assigned to both of you."

A- "You do realize that even though Ted's annoying as hell, he's not stupid. If he comes home and see's me, he'll immediately report it to the police."

B- "When Ted gets home, I don't think he'll live to see another cop." Bret laughed menacingly. "Chao, babe. See you later." Bret hung up as I cursed under my breath.

*End of Phone Convo*

Suddenly, the phone rang again. I sighed of relief for the first time to see that name: Ted Dibiase.

*Phone*

T- "Listen, Bret, you may be smart and cocky but if I don't find Ashley in a week's notice, I swear you'll wish you never laid your hands on her! Now, dammit, where is she?!!!?" I was actually touched to see Ted's concern.

A- "She's on the other line."

*Ted's POV*

T- "Dammit, where is she??!!!?""

A- "She's on the other line." My eyes grew wide as I did something I haven't done ever since Ashley was missing, I smiled. My heart melted at hearing the beautiful diva's voice again.

T- "Ashley, oh god, are you okay?"

A- "I'm fine. How about you?"

T- "Better now. Hey, is Bret there?"

A- "No, Bret's in Missouri." I was bombarded at what Ashley thought.

T- "Ash, the police and me just searched all of Missouri. He's not there. And I just left Missouri to come home."

A- "Well, he's not in Florida. Ted, just hurry up and save me before anything else happens."

T- "Umm, to late."

A- "Wait, what? Why?" I sighed. I knew that telling Ashley the bad news, that it would mean breaking her poor heart. But, what else was I supposed to do? "Umm, when Cody was in the hospital, a nurse poisoned him. It turns out that the nurse was Bret's girl. I'm, SO sorry." I heard sobs on the other end.

A- "Me, too. Ted, promise me something."

T- "Sure, anything."

A- "Your all I have right now. So please, don't die without me." I was ready to tell her I love her right then and there. But, something stopped me.

T- "I promise." Ashley made an okay noise and hung up. I could still hear her heartbreaking and crying, as I started to do the same.
