Alexis paced the small area in her bedroom holding a phone to her ear. "No you don't understand I need to 10 million in cash within the next 12 hours."

The bank was giving her a hard a time with taking that much cash out. She had to contact the Cassadine's to lend her the money. It killed her to ask them for anything, but she was willing to do anything she had to, to get her daughter back.

"I understand Ms. Davis, but it is against periodical to allow one person to take out that amount of money at one time. I'm going to have to contact my manger," The banker tried to explain.

"How long is that going to take?"

"I'm not sure Ms. Davis. We will give you a call."

Alexis screamed in frustration. She swung her arm back to throw her phone at the wall, but Mac grabbed it before it could leave her hand.

"Hey there, that would not be a good idea," Mac placed his arm's on his Fiancée's shoulders.

"The bank won't let me get the money out of the Cassadine account." Alexis turned to the man, and he wrapped his arms around her.

"I'll give the station a call and they will talk to the manger of the bank. Don't worry we have 12 hours, to get the money. We are going to get her back Lexi."

She took a deep breath taking in his scent. She loved Mac with everything she had. She knew Mac was being calm and strong for her, but she could tell that he was just as scared as she was about Sam being missing. Sam was only 2 years old when they got started dating, but Mac acted as if she was his own daughter.

"Mac, I don't know what I'm going to do if I lose Sam," Alexis Said letting the tears fall onto her cheeks.

"Lexi, we aren't going to lose her." He led her to the bed and he sat down with her in his arms.

"Have you talked to Monica and Alan? Have they been able to get the money?" Alexis asked.

"I talked to her earlier. She got the money approved but it is going to take a few hours to actually get the cash." He kissed her on the forehead. "I'm going to call the station and see if they can talk to the bank." He gave her another kiss and walked out of the bedroom. Alexis wrapped a blanket around her body and laid back onto the.

"I'm going to get you back Sammy, I promise."

…

Sam rolled over in the bed and looked over at a sleeping Jason. She had tried to clean up the cuts on his body, but being trapped in the little room made it kind of hard. She watched as he blinked his eyes opened and stared into her deep brown eyes.

"Hey how long have we been locked in this room?" Jason asked as he rolled over to face her.

"I have no idea. Do you think they are coming for us?" Sam asked.

"Of course they are coming for you. My grandfather probably paid the whole police station triple their salary to find us, and your mom and Mac are probably threatening to throw them in jail if they don't find us soon." He said trying to make the girl smile.

"Do you think my dad knows?"

"If you dad knows then we are defiantly going to get saved. Your dad run's this city Sammy; there is no way that he doesn't have everyone looking for you."

"Your right, we are going to be found." Jason opened his arms and allowed the tiny girl to crawl into his arms. Jason always had a crush on Sam ever since she helped his sneak out of the Quartermaine Mansion and they spent the whole night telling ghost stories around a camp fire they built in the woods near the house. She was his best friend and he planned to do everything it took to get her out safe.

…

Mac and Alexis sat in the living room along with Alan and Monica waiting for the man to call them with more information on their kids. They were able to get the money, so now they were waiting for the phone call to tell them when they could get their kids back. The cops didn't have a lead on where the kids were being held, so they hoped that the man would give up the kids willingly.

"What is taking so long?" Alan said in frustration.

"He still has a few minutes before the 24 hour deadline." Mac said trying not to scare the room.

"I hope he didn't hurt the kids," Monica sighed as they waited for the call.

Alexis watched in silence as the other people in the room waited for the phone call. She didn't even know how to react anymore. She just wanted her little girl home safe. The ringing of the phone caused Alexis to jump. The police officer nodded his head and allowed Mac to put the phone on speaker.

Alexis leaned toward the speaker. "This is Alexis Davis. We have your money."

"Yes, I am actually very proud that you were able to get my money. However, I called to inform you that you have been outbid."

"What?" Alexis asked through a shaky voice.

"I'm sorry, but another person wanted those kids also, and they offered me almost 5 times what you were going to pay."

"We can get you more money," Alan said trying to reason with the man.

"I'm sorry, but the transaction has already been complete. I am sorry." With that he hung up the phone leaving everyone in the room speechless. Monica burst into tears and Alan wrapped his arms around his wife. Alexis just stared at the phone, not really comprehending what had just happened.

"Lexi, we are going to find another way to get the kids back." Mac said, but Alexis just sat on the couch in silence. The police informed them that they wouldn't stop looking for the kids. The officer offered to drive the Quartermaines home, and they left Mac and Alexis once again alone in the house.

"We aren't going to stop until we find her," Mac said wrapping his arms around her.

"That was our only chance of getting her back Mac. The cops have no leads; they have no idea where they are. We just lost Sam forever." Alexis yelled at Mac. She was angry they everyone was so calm about this. The chance of finding Sam was pretty much nonexistent t now, and they were acting like nothing was wrong. Alexis jumped of the couch and headed to the door.

"Lexi. Where are you going?" Mac asked with concern.

"I just need to be alone right now." She walked out of the house leaving Mac to worry about her.

…

Alexis drove around for hours. She didn't pay attention to where she was driving; she just drove trying to forget that she might never see her daughter again. She drove past all Sam's favorite places. The park that she and Jason would spend every day during the summer at, her favorite ice cream stand, everything in the town just reminded her of her daughter.

Alexis drove until she parked in front of his house. She didn't know why she was there, but she knew she needed to see him. Alexis knocked and his guards let her in and she followed the guard into the living room.

"Any word on Sam?" he asked as soon as she walked into the room. She waited until the guards closed the door before she broke down in tears.

He lead her to the couch and wrapped his arms around her. "Someone else offered him more money. He sold our daughter, Sonny."

"What? Who?" Sonny pulled away from Alexis in shock.

"I don't know. He just said that someone else offered him more money. Alan was willing to out pay the person, but the man said that the transaction was complete." She said between sobs.

"We are going to find her Alexis. I'm going to put all my men on this until we bring Sam home."

Alexis looked at Sonny, but she saw Sam's eyes. She ran her hands through his hair, and brought his face to her. She kissed him with all the passion she had inside her. He let his arms travel down her back, and he pulled her closer to him. She started unbuttoning his shirt, as the kisses got more intense. She knew she shouldn't be doing it, but she wasn't really thinking straight. All she could think about was how she had lost her daughter forever.
