The Wedding
Chapter 38: The Shock
While Jeff was talking to Virgil, John had decided to take Robyn out and away from the hospital, after all she'd had a long day travelling with Jeff.
"So Miss Robyn, where would you like to go for something to eat?" said John as he and Robyn made their way down to the car park.
"Can we go to McDonald's Uncle John? I haven't been there in ages." said Robyn as she got into the back seat of the car. As John went to get into the car three masked men came out of nowhere. The last thing John was aware of was a sharp pain to the back of his head. The three masked men jumped into the car and drove off at speed. It took a while for John to come round. As he lay there in the car park what happened flew back into his brain. In a panic he pulled out his phone and called Scott.
"John, what's wrong?" His older brother asked.
"I went to take Robyn out for a bite to eat and I got knocked out by three guys wearing masks and worst of all they took the car with Robyn in it!"
"Ok John first of all calm down. You're not helping anybody getting worked up here. Did Robyn have her teddy bear with her? I know that Brains was working on a tracker to put into her bear. You know how she takes that thing everywhere with her and after the kidnapping before. If she had it with her and Brains has placed a tracker then we won't be long in getting Robyn back." Said Scott, somehow keeping his head.
"She had her teddy bear with her Scott. Jo says that Robyn doesn't go anywhere without it. I can't believe that I let Robyn slip like that Scott. Virgil and Jo are both going to be devastated." He dropped his head into his hands for a moment, shame and fear flowing through him.
"Wow John if we track Robyn then I can go after her in TB1. In the mean time call the police and get a search started. I will give Dad a call let him know what has happened. John we will get Robyn back don't panic!" explained Scott before he hung up.

Meanwhile back on Tracy Island Scott had called a meeting to tell everyone what happened to Robyn. Just then Gordon and Alan wandered in with everyone else.
"You wanted to see us Scott?" asked Gordon.
"John called to let us know that he was taking Robyn out for dinner when he got jumped and they took off with Dad's car. Worst of all Robyn was in the back of the car."
"How is John doing with all of this?" asked Alan.
"Not good. John called me in a panic and as you know John never panic's. I told him to call the police from his end." Their worry was torn right now, partly worried about Robyn, partly worried about John.
"What about Dad does he know anything about this?" Gordon's question brought the situation back to the centre.
"No Gordon but I am going to call him now, tell him what is going on over there."
"What about Virgil and Jo. Do we tell them or not?" Asked Grandma.
"I think that we should leave it for now. Virgil is still in the hospital we don't know when he is getting out. Jo has too much on her plate already to be worrying about this. If we can manage to get Robyn back without Virgil or Jo knowing about it the better." Grandma had to worry here, surely the police would want to speak to Jo and Virgil?
"Did Brains manage to put a tracker into Robyn's teddy bear?" He'd overheard Brains mentioning it.
"Ok Alan I want you to go and check that out with Brains. If the tracker is in Robyn's teddy then there is a good chance that we could get her back quickly."
"Anything else Scott?"
"Not at the minute Alan, Gordon I would like you to stay here and keep an eye on things. I am going to go and get TB1 ready in case I have to go after her." Scott sighed heavily as he made to leave.
"That is fine Scott, but don't you think that it would be an idea to give Dad a call fill him in on what has happened?" Gordon pointed out, reminding his older brother.
"Yeah thanks Gordy. I better do that first."
"You know Scott we all love Robyn, there is nothing that we would do for her. She means the world to us." Honestly Gordon wasn't sure whether he was reassuring himself or Scott.
"I know Gordon just let me call Dad now."

Over on the mainland Jeff had taken Jo over to the old family home.
"You know Jo, Virgil is going to be fine. He is a great Dad to Robyn, who is such an amazing little girl. She makes everyone smile. Just like her parents do." He still couldn't believe he was a grandfather sometimes.
"Thanks Jeff, I still can't believe that I am about to marry the love of my life or that Robyn has her Father now. The fact that Virgil is going to be there for me with these little ones...its just hard to take it all in." She had to admit that her wildest dreams hadn't thought of this.
"Things seem to be looking up for you two so far."
"That is what gets me Jeff, when things start looking up for us. There is always something there to pull us down again." Jo couldn't possibly stop thinking about it. It would just be fate for something bad to step in now.
"I know Jo, you and Virgil are still here. Whoever it is that is doing this will not stand in the way of getting you two married. Virgil told me that you found out that Penny was your Mom. Is that true?" Jeff had forgotten about it for a moment but now he needed to know.
"I found out a couple of days ago. Virgil was great with me, he managed to get me down stairs to talk to Penny. We are talking now like nothing happened between us. If I am honest here I am still trying to get used to the idea."
"That is good Jo, not many people have the will to forgive something like this. If I had of known about you and Penny then I am sure that I would have made you an agent too." said Jeff with a smile.
"I know that Jeff. I just can't wait to get Robyn back and settled for bed. She has had such a busy day today."
"Yeah she has Jo. John took her to get something to eat about an hour ago. Speaking of which he should have been back here by now." Said Jeff as he looked at his watch, he was beginning to get worried now but was interrupted as his phone rang.
"Excuse me a sec Jo, yes Scott is something wrong?" Jeff said as he wandered into the next room.
"Yeah Dad John called me in a panic. He got jumped, your car got took and worst of all Robyn was in the car."
"Ok Scott, did you tell John to call the police?"
"I did Dad but Brains managed to put a tracker into Robyn's teddy bear before she left the island with you so we are able to track her at least." said Scott in a rush.
"Right Scott what do want me to tell Jo? I can't keep this sort of news from her."
"Well we are hoping that we could get Robyn back before Virgil or Jo know that Robyn is gone."
"Scott that is going to be hard. Robyn's bed time is two hours from now." Jeff sighed heavily as Jo's words came back to his mind.
Something always happens to pull us back down
He was starting to think she was right.
