Chapter 14

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Jerry couldn't believe it. How could they have gotten the road blocks up so quickly? Fortunately he had spotted the on the road ahead and quickly took a side road, driving until he found a little cabin to break into. Bringing his little bird in, he laid her down on the bed and tied her to it. He had left the chloroform behind in the laundry cart that he had used to smuggle Robin out of the hospital. He had been certain he would be at his safe house before she woke up but the plan had changed due to the damn road block.

Looking at the beautiful woman tied to the bed, Jerry sighed. He really didn't want to do it but Robin was a fighter and he needed to be in complete control while he explained his plans for their future together.

Robin woke up slowly. She was bound to a bed and there was a gag in her mouth. Her head hurt and her mouth was dry. She started to focus in on her surroundings and quickly figured out that she was in a cabin in the woods. She took in the room. There was a stove, refrigerator, and kitchen table. It appeared to be a one room cabin from what she could see. But where was she? Was she still in Port Charles?

One thing she knew for certain was who had brought her here. It was Jerry; there was no doubt in her mind.

"Hello little bird." Robin's stomach turned. "Still as beautiful as ever. Sorry for the crude surroundings but the police were a little more on top of things than I would have hoped." Jerry sat down on the bed and stroked Robin's face as she struggled to pull away from him.

"I have such plans for us. Let me explain. Right now, your children and Patty boy are safe. I have no intentions of separating Emma and Robbie from Patrick. They are safe and healthy and will remain so, on one condition. See, I want what you and Patrick have." He continued stroking her face as he spoke. "You have two beautiful pieces of immortality, Emma and Robbie. That's what I want, for you and me to create another wonderful child. And we will or I will take your children. And since they only need one father…"

Tears streamed down Robin's face. Jerry's obsession had reached another level. Unfortunately, he knew how to get to her to agree to his plans, knew that she would do anything to protect Patrick and their children.

"So do we have a deal?"

Robin nodded her head in agreement, praying she could stall him at the cabin until her parents and Patrick found her.

"We found her. She is on Route 78, about 30 miles east from the hospital. He must have seen the road block and pulled off the road. " Mac relayed the news to Anna as she and Patrick headed down that very road.

"Mac, we are about 10 minutes from there. Has the signal stopped moving?"

"Yes. Robert and I are headed out – we'll meet you there. I think there are some cabins out there and he may be holed up in one with her."

"Alright, we'll see you shortly." Patrick and Anna concentrated on the road in front of them looking for any place, down every driveway, anywhere that Jerry might be hiding. Time was of the essence. They had not told Mac or Robert about Jerry's plans for Robin. They had to stop Jerry before it was too late.

Jerry removed the gag from Robin's mouth, smiling. He was ecstatic. The woman he loved had agreed to have a child with him. He lay down on the bed next to her and gazed lovingly into her eyes. "This child will be the best of both of us." He began stroking her stomach, already imaging their child growing inside her. "He will be smart, beautiful, and strong." Robin had never been so repulsed by anyone in her life.

"Shall we get started? I'd really hoped to make things more, shall we say, romantic for us." Robin's repulsion turned to fear as she began to understand the meaning behind Jerry's words. Surely, he couldn't expect her to…

"What? Jerry, you'll expose yourself to HIV – you don't want that."

"I am well aware of the risks but I think it's worth it. I have the PEP protocol waiting at our final destination. Your viral load is virtually undetectable. You see my dear, I have thought of everything. Let's get started." Jerry said as he began unbuttoning her blouse.

Dear God, this was really happening. Robin struggled to get free and began screaming for help as loud as she could. Please, let someone find me soon.

Patrick saw the car in the driveway before Anna did. "There! That's them, I know it!"

Anna didn't even question her son-in-law. Robin and Patrick had a connection that few people could ever conceive of, let alone know. If her son-in-law said that's where Jerry was holding Robin, it was.

Anna handed Patrick a gun from her glove box. Armed, they both got out of the car and walked towards the cabin. They were halfway up the drive when they heard Robin scream.

Five seconds later they were through the front door of the cabin.

Jerry was so focused on Robin that he didn't notice the door to the cabin fly open but Robin did. Seeing her husband and mother standing in the doorway Robin did the only thing she could think of – she head butted Jerry. Stunned, he fell off the bed. He started to get up only to hear Anna tell him to stop. Jerry made a move towards Robin but a bullet to his right shoulder stopped him.

Patrick jumped over Jerry and to the bed. In no time he had Robin untied. He picked her up and took her across the room, out of the cabin and put her in Anna's car to check her out.

"I'm fine. Patrick, look at me, he didn't get the chance to do anything. You stopped him. I'm fine."

Patrick really looked at Robin, smiled and kissed her – hard. Tears filled both their eyes as they looked at each other. "You need gloves before you look at my wrists or feet." Patrick pulled a pair out of his pocket.

"Have I ever told you how incredibly sexy it is that you are always prepared?"

"Well, I was a Boy Scout." Robin laughed.

"No, you weren't. But I knew you would find me and save me. He's insane, the things he was saying…" All of a sudden a shot rang out from the cabin.

Robin and Patrick raced to the door and found Jerry lying on the floor dead – one bullet to the head.

"He jumped at me to try and escape. I was aiming for his other shoulder but he moved at the last second." Anna did not look at all sorry that she had killed him.
