The Flame of Franco
Helpless...
Five days passed since Sam had gone missing and there was still no sign of her or Josslyne's were bouts. Jason was slowly starting to crawl out of his skin. He didn't know what to do. He had never felt so helpless before like this. Spinelli had returned back to Port Charles on Jason's orders. He assumed that Franco would not be taking another hostage and besides Jason needed Spinelli more than ever now. And it was better that he was under his roof where he could discuss with him face to face instead of over email.
Dominic was also helping Jason out along with Lucky and Spinelli to found Sam and Josslyne. Jason was not too pleased at first to found out that Sonny had sent Dominic over to help out but soon realised that he needed all the help he could get.
A deep sigh escaped from Jason's lips as he leaned back in the chair, running his hands through his spiked hair, closing his eyes for a brief second. He was seated at Sam's desk in the office of McCall and Jackal P.I. Spinelli was seated across the room at his own desk; head bent, feverishly typing away on his laptop. He was analysing the photo that Franco had sent Jason of Sam and of Josslyne; which was sent just over a few days ago. It showed the infant in a white plastic hospital crib, staring out into the camera. Spinelli was trying to find any clue within the photo that would show where Franco was keeping his hostages. So far there was no success.
Reopening his eyes, Jason leaned forward in the chair and slowly got to his feet. He needed to get some fresh air. He needed to clear his head and think. He had been driving himself crazy over the past couple of days. He was waiting but he wasn't sure what for. It had been two days since that picture of Josslyne had been sent to him. He knew that Franco was laying out the ground work; testing him. He knew that he would want to meet up next. A face off. He was waiting.
"I'm just going to step out for a few, Spinelli," spoke Jason as he looked over at the young computer genius for a moment before walking out of the small office of the P.I. firm and made his way down the four flights of stairs before pushing open the front door of the building and emerging out into the chilled morning air. Turning immediately towards the left, he headed towards the docks.
Sam was immediately awoken by the humming of the lights as they came on above her. Appearing out through the fogginess of her sight, she lifted her head slowly up from the pillow and looked towards the door of the warehouse, where Franco had just appeared.
His wild smile appearing on his face as he met her eye and made his way towards the prison she was being kept in; turning on the microphone that was wired to the cage, he spoke into it. "Good morning Sam!"
Sam, who had no energy left within her to fight Franco; just simply sighed and rested her head back against the pillow of the small bed she was lying on. Her eyes darkening slightly. Every few days or so Franco would appearing bringing her either small bottles of water or a very small meal. Just simply little things to keep her alive but not enough to give her much strength or energy to move.
"I brought you an apple this morning and since you have been such a good girl over the past days, coffee," explained Franco his grin appearing wider at the excitement of his victim. He knew that Sam would be wanting coffee by now.
"Coffee?" whispered Sam in a horsed voice as she slowly sat up, her eyes falling on the small paper cup that Franco held in his hand. She knew she shouldn't be showing weakness but after what Franco had done to her, she found that she had no strength left in her.
Franco moved towards the structure, opening the door and stepping inside. Sam curled herself up into a ball as she watched Franco closely as he placed the food down on to the nightstand; making sure that he did not all the sudden come towards her.
She had never felt so helpless before.
Okay I know it's short but more will be coming soon. I promise! Thanks for reading and please review.
