Captured Hearts 14
"Please don't go. I need you tonight," Tea pleaded.
Blair thought about leaving to spare herself any further heartbreak, but she couldn't leave not when Tea needed her. She climbed into bed and wrapped Tea into her arms. "I'm not going anywhere, not as long as you want me to stay," Blair said as she kissed Tea's forehead.
"I love you Blair, more then I ever thought possible. What am I going to do if Victor is still alive. How can I choose?"
"Shhhh, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Right now just close your eyes," Blair stated and then she begun to sing the song that she used to sing to Starr when she was little. It didn't take long for Tea to fall asleep in the comfort of Blair's arms.

John had finally gotten comfortable enough to fall asleep when he heard pounding at his door.
"Manning? What the hell? Do you know what time it is?" John grumpily asked as he opened the door.
"Victor's still alive and Marty needs our help."
"What?"
"I'll tell you all about it while you make me a sandwich. I'm starving."
"Fine, but don't get used to it Manning. Come on in."
Todd sat at the stool at the counter and told John all about Marty's phone call while he watched John.
"I'm going to call Fish and see if he can set up a trace, but it might take until morning for the software to return any results, John said as he handed Todd his sandwich.
"I thought it only took a couple of minutes to trace a phonecall?"Todd asked skeptically. Maybe he should have hired his own private detectives.
"Since you're not on the phone with Marty, we can't do an exact trace and it may take longer for Fish to pinpoint the location."
"That's okay. I can wait," Todd said as he made himself comfortable on the couch.

The next morning, John woke up in his bed. His phone was going off. John looked over and saw Todd lying next to him snoring. Todd must have climbed into bed next to him while he slept.
"What the hell Manning? What are you doing in my bed."
"Your couch is lumpy and I thought that I would be more comfortable here," Todd explained.
"Whatever," John grumbled as he checked his voicemail.
"Fish left me a message, the phone call from Marty came from an Island off of the Pacific Ocean," John explained as he grabbed a map and pointed at the Island.
"I know that Island. Tea and I were trapped there once. You have to let me come with you, Todd offered.
