Ricky woke up to his phone ringing the next morning.

"Ugh...Hello?" Ricky asked sleepily.

"Good morning Ricky. This is your mother. When were you going to tell me that Ethan almost got a job selling crack?!" Margret asked seriously.

"Uh...I told him to tell you about that. Did he?" Ricky asked as he wiped his eyes.

"Yes he did and he almost told me that you almost got shot. Are you all right?" Margret said worried.

"Yeah...I'm fine...Joe Hampton was mugging Ethan and I helped him by paying Joe fifty bucks. If he didn't get the money, one of us probably would have gotten shot." Ricky answered sadly.

"Thank God you and Ethan are all right! And thank you for helping him too. I would have hated to see him get killed for making a stupid decision. Wasn't Joe Hampton the kid who made fake IDs in high school?" Margret asked intrigued.

"I'm glad we didn't get hurt...Ethan is like a brother to me and I don't want anything bad to him...Joe did make fake IDs and he has to do some kind of community service now since the cops caught him. George told me about it last night at Jeff's. He heard about it from Reuben." Ricky explained as he got out of bed.

"All right...Well I really appreciate you getting Ethan a job at the butcher shop too and keeping an eye on him. You never know when he's going to get into some kind of trouble." Margret smiled.

"That's true. You're welcome Mom. I need to get ready for school so I'll talk to you later." Ricky said happily.

"Ok...How are Amy and John doing?" Margret asked.

"They're doing fine. John misses me so...I'm excited to see him in December. I love you." Ricky said as he got clothes out of his closet to wear.

"Shaker and I miss John too. I'm glad he's doing fine with Amy. I love you too Ricky. Bye." Margret said as she took a sip of her coffee.

"Talk to you later." Ricky hung up and then changed his clothes.

Meanwhile in New York...

"Since it's your last day of your fall break...do you want to do something fun tonight?" Omar asked Adrian as they were finishing breakfast.

"Yes I would. Do you have to work late again?" Adrian asked as she wiped her mouth.

"No I don't. I should be home around five thirty. Thank you for breakfast. Everything is delicious." Omar smiled after he ate some eggs.

"All right...I hope you have a good day at work." Adrian said after she took a drink of orange juice.

"So do I...After working late last night I should get a promotion. Ha ha! What are you going to do today?" Omar asked as he put his dishes in the sink.

"Oh...I'll probably go to the park for a run or something after I check on Amy and Ben...I really hope he's ok." Adrian answered sadly.

"Gotcha...I feel so terrible for Ben. I bet he'll be fine. Most people recover pretty quickly from an overdose." Omar said as he gave Adrian a hug from behind her.

"And how do you know that? I thought you were just an education businessman..." Adrian said sarcastically as she stood up.

"What happened to sexy and sophisticated education businessman?" Omar said grinning.

"Heh...I love how you make me laugh every day Omar." Adrian said as she put her arms around Omar's neck.

"And I love how you make me laugh too...Ha ha...I love you Adrian." Omar said as he pulled Adrian closer to him.

"I love you too Omar." Adrian licked her lips and gave Omar a long kiss.

"Mmm...I'll see you later. Have a good day hun." Omar smiled as he let go of Adrian.

"Are you sure you have to leave right now?" Adrian said with a pouting face.

"Yes I do. I don't want to get stuck in traffic. Bye." Omar said as he grabbed his brief case and opened the door.

"All right. Have a good day!" Adrian said as Omar went out the door. She picked up her phone from the kitchen counter and called Amy.

"Hey Adrian...I'm at the hospital right now." Amy said seriously.

"Ok. Is Ben doing better?" Adrian asked sincerely.

"Yeah he is...They just need to do a few tests on him to make sure that his body is fully recovered. I really appreciate you driving John and I home last night." Amy answered smiling.

"It was no problem at all. I'm glad to hear that Ben is feeling better. So...have you gotten to talk to him?" Adrian asked nervously.

"Not yet. I should be able to in about thirty minutes. I really hope...he didn't the pills because of me..." Amy said in worried tone.

"I doubt that Amy. Maybe he did it because of Chloe? Have they found her yet?" Adrian said sincerely.

"I have no idea...Since she was kidnapped, it's probably going to be hard for them to find her. I wonder if that pimp took her..." Amy answered as she pushed her hair back.

"Probably...I hope he doesn't try to go after Jack again...That would just be awful especially since he went through hell after he recovered from his injuries..." Adrian said sadly.

"Yeah it would...I thought he was in prison still though...Ugh...Who knows where Chloe could be...Do you think Grace would know?" Amy said concerned.

"Probably not since she was with Ricky last night...Does she even know about Chloe missing?" Adrian said seriously.

"I would think so...I told Ricky to tell her about Chloe. You can call her about it if you want...I'm going to try and take a cat nap while I wait for Ben." Amy said as she yawned.

"All right...Before you do, there isn't someone at your apartment named...Max is there?" Adrian asked intrigued.

"Um...I honestly don't know Adrian. I'm sorry. Ben and I don't really know our neighbors." Amy said as she shook her head.

"It's fine. I'll figure it out later. Let me know if you or Ben need anything." Adrian smiled slowly.

"We will. Thanks and I hope you have a good day. Bye." Amy said happily.

"No problem. Later." Adrian hung up and called Grace.

"Come on Grace...Pick up..." Adrian said as she rolled her eyes and got her purse. After a few rings Adrian got Grace's voice mail.

"Hey Grace...It's me, Adrian. You must be in class...I just wanted to make sure that you know about Chloe missing...Call me back when you can. Bye." Adrian hung up and then left her house.

Meanwhile in California...

Grace slowly opened her eyes in a strange place.

Oh my...Where am I? Why am I in a prison cell? Is that...Chloe?

Grace's eyes widened as she saw Chloe crying in a cell across from her.

"Chloe! Hey! It's me!" Grace said seriously as she raised her voice.

"I'm so sorry Grace...This is all my fault..." Chloe said through her sobbing.

"What do you mean? Why are we here?" Grace asked confused.

"Damn Mickey...My old pimp got out of jail somehow and he put us here...Well...I'm not exactly sure if he caught you last night..." Chloe answered sadly.

"What? Mickey's the same guy who beat Jack up too right?" Grace asked scared.

"Yes he is...And you're lucky that he hasn't beaten us up yet...I have no idea where we are...He's never put me in a stupid cage before..." Chloe said seriously.

"Oh my Lord...I can't believe this is happening! Maybe I'm dreaming again..." Grace said as her eyes got watery.

"I hate to tell ya Grace...but this is reality...You're not dreaming...And we'll be lucky to get out of here..." Chloe said said frowning.

"I sure hope we do get out of here...I don't want to miss school!" Grace said as tears ran down her face.

"School?! That's the first thing that comes to your mind after what I just told you?! What about the fact that we could get killed?!" Chloe said as she started to raise her voice.

Grace kept crying as she sat on the small bed behind her.

"I didn't mean to yell at you...Hopefully someone will find us..." Chloe said sadly.

"You better shut up Ginger!" Mickey said as he walked into the room.

"I'm sorry Mick...Why did you bring Grace her? She didn't do anything to you, you sick bastard!" Chloe said angrily.

"Yes she did...She's the girlfriend of that idiot who saved your ass...And now it's payback time. If you two don't make me some good money tonight...you're both gonna regret it." Mickey said with an evil grin on his face.

Grace wiped her eyes as she looked at Mickey with a frightened look on her face.

A young man walked into the room that Grace recognized.

"Gri...gri...Griffin?" Grace said through her tears.

"What did you just say?" Mickey asked stubbornly as he looked at Grace.

"It's all right Mickey. I'll handle it...You can go get some lunch." The other man said seriously.

"Thanks Griff." Mickey said as he left the room.

"Yeah...It's me Griffin...I'm sorry Grace but I had to do this...I know it's wrong but...I need some extra money so that I can go to college..." Griffin told her sadly.

"So you...became a pimp?!" Grace said shocked.

"I'm not the pimp...Mickey is...I just capture girls for him...And I'm sorry for calling you a slut but...you kind of are..." Griffin said as he rolled his eyes.

"What the hell?! You two know each other?!" Chloe asked as she raised her voice.

"Yes we do...And if you say a word to Mickey about it...he'll probably beat the crap out of you...So I would keep your mouth shut Chloe! And your mouth too Grace...That is if you want to make it out of here alive." Griffin said coldly as he looked at Chloe and then Grace.

"Yes sir..." Grace said sadly as she looked at the floor.

"Thank you...I gotta go..." Griffin said as he left the room.

"I can't believe this...Maybe you can manipulate him to get us out of here..." Chloe said seriously.

"No...He's not the same guy that he was when I knew him...He's become a terrible person Chloe...I feel so awful..." Grace said sadly.

"I'm sorry...He went to your high school didn't he?" Chloe asked sincerely.

"Yeah..." Grace said as she wiped her make up off her face with her blanket.

Meanwhile in New York...

Adrian was at Amy's apartment and she knocked on the door of the guy that she thought was Max. The door opened.

"Uh...Can I help you?" The man asked as he opened the door.

"Don't you recognize me? Max?" Adrian asked seriously.

"Um...Wait a second...you're not Adrian are you?" Max said confused.

"Yes I am! I don't mean to stalk you or anything but I thought I recognized you when I saw you go in here last night after I dropped my friend Amy off." Adrian explained happily.

"Oh...It's totally cool. You want to come in and have a drink or something?" Max asked as he smiled.

"Sure! I would love to!" Adrian grinned as she walked into Max's apartment.

"So...What are you doing in New York?" Adrian asked as she sat on Max's couch.

"I...got a job here making cars. It's not the best job but it pays all right...My Dad didn't send me to military school so...after high school I just decided to move here." Max explained as he got a couple cans of soda from the fridge.

"Oh...gotcha...That's pretty exciting I guess...Thanks for the soda. You don't drink alcohol though?" Adrian asked intrigued.

"No I quit...I almost got a girl pregnant from getting drunk at a party..." Max said sadly.

"Wow...I'm sorry to here that...I don't drink alcohol that much...I just turned twenty one a few months ago anyway...Before my wedding..." Adrian said awkwardly.

"Yeah...I'm lucky that didn't happen...Wait your wedding? Aren't you a little young for that?" Max said surprised.

"Excuse me? Most people tell me congratulations when I tell them I just got married. Besides, I'm an adult so it's not like I can't be married." Adrian said defensively.

"That's very true...Congrats...I'm sure your husband is a lucky guy." Max said as he smiled slowly.

"He sure is...We've been through a lot together...So do you have a girlfriend or something?" Adrian asked intrigued.

"No I don't. I'm free as a bird. It's kind of nice for now anyway. However...I did enjoy spending time with you when we were in California..." Max said after he took a drink from his soda.

"Heh...Yeah...I enjoyed that too...A lot actually...But we can't do anything like that ever again..." Adrian said seriously.

"Are you sure about that?" Max asked seductively as he looked into Adrian's eyes.

Wow...So this one was a shocker! Is Adrian going to cheat on Omar with Max? Will Griffin try to help Grace and Chloe? Ben and Jack will be back in the next chapter so stay tuned for that! What's everyone going to do when they find out that Grace is missing? Also will Ricky have to deal with Ethan getting into more trouble? Let me know what you think! Thank you! :)
