Chapter 29

"Daddy!" Emma jumped into her dad's arms as soon as Patrick ran into the police station with Jason. Sam had called Jason on their way to let them know what had happened.

Patrick hugged her tight while Mal ran up and hugged his leg. "I am so proud of you. You did a great job protecting your brother." He sat down in a chair and picked up Mal to sit him on his left leg while Emma sat on his right. He held both children close while they waited for Anna.

"Patrick." Anna, Nathan and Dante came into the room. Anna walked over and the children jumped down off Patrick's lap and ran over to their Grandma. "Emma. Mal." She bent down to hug them. She gently brushed a lock of hair behind Emma's ear. "My big girl, protecting your baby brother."

Mal took offense. "I'm not a baby!"

Anna smiled at him. "Of course you're not. You are a big boy. Why don't you kids go in my office with Nathan while I talk to Daddy, Uncle Jason and Aunt Sam for a minute? I think there might be some crayons and coloring books in there for you." The children happily nodded yes and followed Nathan out of the room.

As soon as the children left, Anna turned to the adults. "Mac and Felicia are on their way over to pick up the kids. Jason, is it okay if they take them back to the mansion?"

"Yes, I assume there will be a police escort there?" Anna nodded. "Good, my security team will be waiting for them at the front gate."

"My understanding is that she hasn't said much since she was brought in." Anna explained. "In fact the only thing she has said is that she wants to talk to Patrick."

Patrick shook his head. He hadn't even seen Sabrina in over 4 years and he wasn't sure what he would say to her. She was involved in this whole crazy plot. "Why?"

"Because she is in love with you. This is our best shot at getting information about Robin's kidnapping."

"What about Nikolas?" Patrick asked.

"There is nothing linking him to Robin's kidnapping. Hours before Sabrina approached Mal, Nikolas relinquished custody of Sabrina back to the sanitarium. He told her doctor that she had another breakdown and was stalking Mal. So while I can link him to Sabrina, it looks like he was trying to protect Mal."

"Anna, you can't seriously believe…"

"I said it looks like it, not that I believe it. The point is that right now Sabrina is our only lead."

Patrick sighed. "Then what are we waiting for." He stood up and followed Anna to the interrogation room. He looked through the window at Sabrina. She was sitting in a chair, gently rocking back and forth.

He took a deep breath and entered the room.

"Patrick!" Sabrina rushed over and threw herself in Patrick's arms. He gently pushed her away from him and walked her over to the table to sit down. "I knew you'd come for me." She smiled and took his hands in hers.

It took everything he had not to pull away from her. "Of course I did."

"You can tell them that this is all a big mistake and we can go home. I can't wait to see the kids." She was smiling at him lovingly.

Patrick considered what he wanted to say. She was completely delusional, another victim of Nikolas. "Sabrina, I have a couple of questions that need answered before we can do that. Why were you staying with Nikolas?"

Sabrina's face darkened. "Why do you want to know that?"

Patrick thought quickly. "Because if he hurt you, I want to know so I can make him pay for it."

She laughed. "Of course you do." She got serious again. "He lied to me. He told me that you didn't want to see me anymore, that you were keeping our kids from me but it wasn't your fault, I know you wouldn't do that to me. It was her."

"Her?"

"Robin. She stole you and our kids. Emma didn't even know me today." Sabrina was becoming more and more upset as she spoke. "She did that! She took Emma from me and our little boy."

Patrick stared at her in disbelief. She was convinced that Robin had taken her life from her. "Sabrina, it isn't like that."

"I know it isn't because you are here with me now. We are going to go get Emma and Gabriel and go home." She got up and headed to the door. He stopped her.

"Sabrina, Gabriel is gone. He has been gone for over 5 years." He was trying to be as gentle as he could, she was obviously very ill.

"No, Robin stole him."

"No, Sabrina, Robin and I have a son named Mal. He's who you talked to today."

"No, no, no." She suddenly collapsed against him. "No, he gets Robin and their kids and I get you and our kids – that is how is supposed to go."

"Who gets Robin?" Patrick held her and talked to her as softly as possible. "Sabrina, we need to know who took her."

Sabrina stiffened in his arms and backed away from him. "You don't care about me, you just want Robin. It's always about Robin." She looked at him coldly. "I'm not going to help you get her back."

"Sabrina, please…" Patrick took a step towards her but she backed away.

She glared at him. "You'll never find her. This time Robin is gone for good."

She sat back down and didn't speak another word.

One hour later she was taken back to the institution and they were no closer to finding Robin.
