A/N: Sorry for the late update. Been doing some other things online that's grabbed my attention lately. Hope you enjoy the update and please review!
Maura woke up moments later in a dark space. She then realized she was in the trunk of Joey's car and they were going down the road to somewhere Maura didn't know. Maura reached into her pants pocket to retrieve her cell phone. Thankfully, Joey didn't have the time to tie up her hands. But he probably would do it soon and she had to activate her GPS. It was the only way Jane and the others could find her. Her hope for survival.
She would also put the phone on Speaker turn it up and then press record. It would record all of her and Joey's conversation including where they would go if Joey lets out the info. Her phone came on and she was able to activate the GPS. She turned it on connecting to the BPD. Maura also texted Jane with a few short lines.
I'm alive, but in trouble. Joey has me. I have activated the GPS. She then sent it to Jane hoping her friend got it. Now the only thing she had to do was put the phone on speaker and hit record. Even if it was in her dress pant's pocket, it could still record everything.
Maura suddenly realized that the only way she could survive this was to play along with Joey's plan whatever it was. Pretend to be interested in him. She just hoped whatever Jane heard she hoped Jane knew would forgive her. That what she was about to do was just all an act to survive. She decided to text her again.
No matter what you hear from me and Joey, it's all just an act to survive. Know I love only you.
Moments later, Maura could feel the car come to a stop, the crunch of feet on gravel, and finally the trunk lid came open. Above her was Joey. Maura spoke up "Could I ride in the car now It's getting stuffy in here".
Joey looked at her "Your not going to run?" he eyed her skeptically.
Maura "I'm not going to run, I promise. I just want to enjoy our road trip together". She smiled. Please forgive me Jane, her heart began to sink. She'd rather be with Jane and not this creep. After stopping for some drinks and a snack, Maura and Joey went back to the car. Joey even let her ride with him in the front. "Maura, I'm so glad you agreed to this. To the road trip I mean. I'd never thought you'd agree to it". he drank his soda.
Maura smiled but it was a fake smile. If I didn't agree to it, you'd probably kill me she thought. But she didn't say it. "Well, people can change their minds can they? Besides there's a lot we need to catch up on " she said in a flirtatious tone. If she could get Joey on his good side, there would probably be a lot of things she could get him to talk about. Back in her mind, she still thought about Jane. How was Jane handling all of this? Maura hoped she would be strong because she needed her best friend, her lover, and her partner. If anyone could find her alive and save her, it would be Jane. They had something really special between them Maura thought. Jane couldn't let Joey take her away and just ruin it all. Maura was angry at Joey for returning and trying to mess up her love life.
Back at the Station:
Jane paced in the squad room, chewing on her thumbnail. She silently berated herself for letting this happen. She should have stayed with Maura. She should have protected her.
Korsak was watching her. "We'll get her back, Jane", he said, trying to reassure her. Jane looked at him, and Korsak saw terror in her eyes. He was shocked. He knew Jane and Maura were close….
"We're in luck!" Frost cried. "Maura's phone is on and I can pick up the GPS!" Jane ran over to the computer. "He's heading North! Let's go!" The whole department got up and ran to go get back their ME.
