Chapter 10

"Stephanie Anna Drake, you need to hurry up and get down here. We are all waiting on you." Patrick was anxious to get the kids out of Port Charles.

It had been three days since the attempted kidnapping and Robin's shooting. Yesterday they were notified that, due to a clerical error, Nikolas had been released instead of transferred and he had disappeared. Jason had his best people working on finding him but until then the kids were going into hiding. Robin would be released in two days and then she and Patrick would join them.

Mac and Felicia were already at the cabin. It was three hours from Port Charles and completely secluded. Sam and Danny were going with the kids today while Cam stayed behind to accompany Robin and Patrick after she was released. Meanwhile Jason was working with Robin's parents to try and track down Nikolas.

"I'm coming dad." She came down the stairs, pouting. "Why can't we wait for mom to get out of the hospital?"

"Stop pouting." Patrick was not in the mood for this.

"I don't pout." She put her hands on her hips and stood with her siblings.

"We've already explained this to you a dozen times – we have no idea where Nikolas is and our priority is keeping all of you safe. That means moving you as soon as possible." Patrick smiled at his youngest daughter. "I know you want your mom with you and believe me when I say she wants to be with you too but she can't be moved yet. We need you to understand and cooperate, please?"

Stephanie sighed but nodded her head in agreement. They all knew it was true but it didn't make it any easier. Robin had managed to get some one on one time with each of her children to reassure them that she was fine and would be with them soon.

Jason came down the stairs with Sam and Danny. "Ready to go?"

"I think so." Patrick was going with the kids to get them settled in and then headed back to Port Charles to stay with Robin. "Bags are in the cars and everyone has said their goodbyes, right?"

That last part was directed at Emma who was not happy to be leaving Cam behind. Cam had insisted Emma go with her siblings to the cabin for her own safety. "Yes Dad."

"Okay, let's go."

Robin was lying in her bed when the nurse came in to check her vitals. Patrick was getting the kids off to a safe house and she would be joining them in a few days. She had no idea where it was and she didn't care. All Robin cared about was that everyone was safe.

Two orderlies came into the room. "Ready for your x-ray Dr. Scorpio?"

Robin was a little confused. "What x-ray?"

The taller orderly looked at his chart. "It says here abdominal x-ray, lower left quadrant. It was ordered by Dr. Tom Hardy."

"Really?" Robin was so busy talking to the orderly that she didn't notice the nurse injecting a needle into her IV line.

The orderlies came over to the bed and unlocked the wheels. The taller one spoke again. "I am just the messenger Dr. Scorpio." They began pushing her out of the room but Robin's guard, Carl, stopped him.

"Where are you taking her?"

Robin smiled at him. "It's okay – there are orders from Tom to take me to x-ray. It shouldn't take more than an hour depending on how backed up they are."

Carl took the chart from the orderly and read it. "Hey man…"

Robin spoke up. "It's okay – he can look at it."

Carl smiled at Robin – he had always liked the doctor. "I will go with you."

"Wouldn't expect anything less but," Robin yawned, "I'm probably going to take a nap so I won't be great company."

"I don't care." Carl looked at the orderlies. "Let's go."

The group, including the nurse, headed to the elevator, taking it to the basement where the radiology department was located.

Robin fell asleep on the way down and the group headed off the elevator and down the hall. They were halfway down the hall when Carl felt a needle go into his arm. "What the hell?"

Before he could do anything, Carl passed out. The orderlies took the unconscious Robin off the cot and placed her in a wheelchair and then put Carl on the cot. They left him in the hallway and took Robin out the back of the hospital into the alley, where there was an ambulance waiting.

One of the orderlies moved Robin from the wheelchair to the back of the ambulance while the nurse and other orderly climbed into the front cab. After strapping Robin down to the cot in back, the group left GH.
