"I HAVE JASMINE" the words echoed around Willows head, she blocked out the rest of the call. She didnt want to hear what Victor was saying, she just wanted to get her little girl back. As Matt hung up Willow said quietly "I hate that man. I FUCKING HATE HIM" "We all do Wills, right now we have got to focus on Jas and getting her back" Amy said as she held her daughter. Matt walked away angrily. He had felt his anger and rage building up throughout the phone call. Jeff followed him down to the gym where he watched as Matt punched the wall instead of the punchbag hanging from the ceiling. "Matt whats going on with you? Wills needs you" Jeff said as Matt replied "I know, i just couldnt have her see me like this. Victor just pisses me off so much but taking Jasmine? This time hes gone too far" "We'll get her back Matt. As for Wills, she knows you're angry but you two need each other" Jeff said as Phil joined them in the gym. "Shes a mess Matt. Elly and Amy are trying to comfort her but shes so angry and shes going to kill him" he said as Matt sighed and replied "She may have to dig him up and kill him again after im through with him" "I think all of us want to kill him after tonight Matt. Lets go see Wills" Jeff said as the three men left the gym.

As they reentered the living area, they saw Elly on the sofa with Willow asleep on her lap. Amy and Adam were in the kitchen, Brooke and Christian had started tidying. "Jeff why dont you go home? Go be with Trish and let her know whats happened" Matt said as Jeff nodded. "Call me in the morning though Matt" Jeff said as he left to go be with his pregnant wife. "How is she Elly?" Matt asked as he sat next to her on the sofa. "Shes not good Matt. Amy had to give her her medication for the pain in her ribs, and a sleeping tablet" Elly replied as Matt brushed Willows hair from her face as Amy and Adam walked into the room. "Cops are on their way" Adam said as Matt watched Willow sleep. "Im going to take her up to bed. She doesnt need to be around this right now" he said as the others nodded in agreement. As he carried her upstairs, there was a knock on the door. Amy opened it to let in the police. "Hey Officer Steninger, come on in. Matt is just upstairs with Willow" Amy said as their longtime friend and ally entered the house. Officer Steninger had been working on Willows case against Victor since the start. "How is Willow doing?" Officer Steninger asked as Amy shook her head. "Shes not good. Shes been through hell with Victor and now Jasmine has been taken by him" she replied as she heard Matt coming down the stairs. "She hasnt been sleeping so i gave her a tablet about 10 minutes ago, knocked her out straight away" "Hey Matt, this is going to be uncomfortable but i need you to tell me everything thats happened." Officer Steninger said , "Starting with Willows return"

Matt explained everything that had happened to Officer Steninger. From the first time Willow went off with Victor, to him kidnapping and blackmailing her. Stalking her, following her home, raping her. He hated having to relive the hurt and pain Victor had put Willow through. "Ten days ago she managed to escape from him and ran all the way from Wilmington just to get away from him and back to us. Now hes taken Jasmine as revenge. If he touches her..." Matt said, his voice breaking as Officer Steninger cut him off "Dont say it Matt. We will find her, then we can arrest him and put him away for life" "Its been hours, i need to be out there looking for her" Matt said suddenly standing up. "Matt i cant let you go out there looking for her. Not after everything you've just told me" Officer Steninger said "let us handle it" "Shes my daughter, i cant just sit here and do nothing" Matt said, trying to push past his ally, who stopped him. "Matt is you go out there, im going to have to arrest you. You're not in the right frame of mind. You want revenge on him for taking Jasmine and hurting Willow and thats no good to anybody" "Shes right Matt" Amy said as she came into the room "Let the cops handle the search. You need to focus on Wills and you can get your hands on him on Sunday in your match" "You have a match with Victor Dalimar on Sunday?" Officer Steninger asked as Matt nodded. "Yeah, its a new kind of match too, a House of Horrors match" he said as Officer Steningers cell started ringing. As she went off to answer it, Matt collapsed on the sofa frustrated he had been stopped from going to look for Jasmine. "Matt, she'll be ok. Jas is smart, she'll give Victor hell" Amy said as she sat next to him. "Ames, how did you do it when Eric took Wills? How did you stop yourself from not wanting to go hunt him down?" Matt asked as Amy replied "I didnt. I had just gotten her back and i couldnt lose her again. I wanted to hunt him down and kill him. But being around you guys and Adam, it made me realise that Willow is tough, shes a fighter and me going out there could have gotten her killed" "Jasmine is so like Wills in personality its scary. I swear Ames, if he touches her..." Matt said as Officer Steninger walked back into the room. "We are getting more officers in the morning to widen the search for Jasmine. Shes not the immediate area, can you think of anywhere he might have taken her?" she asked as Matt replied "Theres the warehouse where he kept Willow, but i dont think he'd risk taking her there" "What about Ravenhearst?" Amy said, "I mean he'll want to take her somewhere shes been before so shes not too scared and he can keep her in one place" "Ravenhearst is huge Ames. It'll take days to search the house and its many levels" Matt replied "But Jas did live there for a while with him so its probably the best place he'll keep her" "OK we'll have officers check that warehouse and Ravenhearst at first light" Officer Steninger said as she stood up and asked "Do you mind if i use your restroom?" "yeah go ahead, Im going to go check on Wills anyways" Matt said as Amy added "Anyone for more coffee?"

Matt headed upstairs to the bedroom he had shared with Willow for the last seven and a half years. He loved her more than anything and couldnt bear to see her in this much pain, yet he felt so helpless right now. He wanted to comfort and protect Willow but at the same time he wanted to be out there, finding Jasmine. As he opened the door he smiled as he saw Willow sleeping peacefully for the first time in a long time. He sat on the bed next to her and put his arms around her, when she turned and fluttered open her eyes. "Hey Wills, go back to sleep" Matt said noticing her eyes were red from all the tears she'd shed hours earlier. "I cant sleep Matt. Not with Jas out there with him" she replied quietly, tears rolling silently down her face as she crawled closer to him. "Where is she Matt? Why arent you out looking?" "The cops have got a good idea of where she could be. They'll find her and im not out looking because they threatened to arrest me if i did" he replied "I also had a good talk with Amy. She made me realise that if i went out there looking, i'd be going out with revenge on my mind, which could get Jas hurt or worse. Believe me Wills, theres nothing more i'd rather be doing than out there looking for Jas" he added as he kissed her forehead. "I hate the thought of her being out there with him" Willow whispered quietly adding "with him doing fuck knows what to her. Matty she must be so scared" "Hey, Jasmine will be fine. If i know her then, Shes just like you and she'll be giving him hell" Matt replied which made Willow laugh and smile. "Thats better. I love it when you smile" he added as Willow sighed and lay her head on his chest "stay with me Matt. I cant be alone right now" she whispered as she leaned in and kissed him.

Willow awoke a few hours later. She watched Matt sleeping next to her for a few minutes before sliding out of bed. She got dressed quietly, knowing that the police were still in the house, as were Amy and Adam, she scribbled a note for Matt, kissed him and snuck out of the house. Willow knew that Matt wouldnt understand what she was doing. It wasnt until Matt awoke 2 hours later than anyone even knew Willow had gone. As he headed downstairs, he heard Amy, Jeff and Trish in the kitchen and went there first. "Hey Matt, Wills still sleeping?" Jeff asked as Matt shook his head. "You mean you guys havent seen her at all this morning?" he asked as they looked at him "She wasnt in bed when i woke up" "She might have just gone for a walk to clear her head Matt. You know how she gets when shes upset and angry" Amy said as Adam and Nevaeh walked in and asked "Has anyone heard anything about Jasmine?" "Not yet but now Willow is missing. Have you seen her this morning?" Amy replied as Adam shook his head. "Trish, Ames you stay here and search the house. We'll go search the grounds" Jeff suggested as the three men headed outside.

"I cant lose her too" Matt said as they searched the old barn for what felt like the millionth time that morning. "Matt relax. Wills wont have gone far" Jeff said as Amy came running towards the barn. "Guys, we've found something" she yelled "Ames, what is it?" Matt asked as she stopped for breath before replying "We found a note. You wont like what it says Matt" "Amy, what does it say? Where is she?" Matt replied frustrated, as Amy said the words he didnt want to hear "Willow has gone after Victor"
