Is there an AMC fan out there who can tell me what became of the Harts (Kendall's adoptive parents)? Remember this story takes place in the year 2001 (I just brought Kendall back to PV earlier than the show. Were the Harts still alive in 2001? I'm not going to make them a big part of this, just wondering how I should have Erica and Kendall address them in this, since Erica has become a major supporting character in this and Kendall is going to have a bigger role too (But Myrtle, Rae, and Skye are still the main characters). Please let me know, or I'll just make it up lol. Thanks in advance!
Chapter 50- Kidnapped
"Don't you have a car?" JR asked as he and Skye started to walk past the parking lot.
"Not here… well my mom's car is here."
"Can we take it?" he asked.
Skye stared at him appalled. "My grandmother would ground me until my hair goes grey if I took it! And red heads go grey later than everyone else!"
"So, you have a key?"
Skye groaned. "She gave me a copy in case of emergency."
"And this is an emergency!" JR said.
Skye paused in thought. "I suppose that's true."
He took her hand. "Come on…"
"Fine…"
She led him to Rae's Honda Accord and got into the driver's seat.
"Where are we going?" Skye asked.
"It's an abandoned police station between Port Charles and Pine Valley. Out in the boondocks. Apparently, it hasn't been used since early 1900s."
Skye started the car and took off.

After searching the Yacht Club, Rae and John made their way back to the hall, where most of the guests had left. Only Erica, Jack, and Bianca were left cleaning up.
"I just don't know where she could've taken off to," Rae said. "I know she didn't like us kissing but I didn't think she'd just run off like that."
"Any sign of her?" Myrtle came up behind them with Stuart.
Rae shook her head. "No. I guess no kissing in front of her anymore…"
"Rae, that's ridiculous," John said.
"If she really ran off because of that then that girl has even deeper issues than I thought," Myrtle said. "You can't just let her control your life."
Rae's heart sank when Derek Frye walked in.
"Derek?" John said. "Are you here to investigate the food poisoning?"
He shook his head. "Erica, can I talk to you for a moment?"
Erica looked sheepishly at Myrtle but came over to Derek. Jack and Bianca looked over.
"What is it?" Erica asked.
"It's Kendall," he said. "We received a call at the station. The owner of the Yacht Club saw a man in a ski mask throw her into the back of an unidentified car."
Erica's face went very pale. Jack came up beside her and wrapped an arm around her.
"What do you mean by unidentified?" John asked.
"There were no license plates," Derek said. "But it was a black Chevrolet. And Kendall tried very hard to fight him off."
"Derek!" Dixie ran into the room followed by Opal. "You have to help me. I can't find JR. And with Jamie missing…"
"When did you last see him?" Derek asked.
"He followed after his new girlfriend while we were eating dinner," Dixie said.
"We gist talked to thah owner," Opal said. "He saw JR and Skye git into a beige Honda Accord bout twenty minutes ago."
Rae sighed heavily. "That's my car."
"That woman has taken my little boy after all the kindness I showed her when I was married to Adam," Dixie said.
"She did not kidnap Adam Junior," Rae said. "She didn't do it the first two times and she didn't do it this time. They were probably receiving more threats. Especially if Kendall was taken."
"But she's obviously gotten into a car with him and taken off with him without my permission!" Dixie pointed out. "There was a witness! That is kidnapping."
Rae shook her head. "You don't know Skye. She has this terrible habit of making herself look guilty for things. But she cares about her brother deeply—"
Dixie scoffed. "She despised him the moment he was born!"
"Like I said, they probably received more threats or she's trying to protect him!"
"What are you doing to find Kendall!?" Erica blurted out. "She's the one we know for certain is in danger right now! All we know about JR is that he's with his older sister!"
Jack rubbed Erica's shaking arms.
"Mom, I'm sure she'll be okay," Bianca said.
"The Yacht Club has been taped off and I have men searching the grounds for clues," Derek said. "I've already spoken to the owner and I have a patrol car looking for the un-licensed car."
"That's it!?" Erica said with bulging eyes. "There has to be more you can be doing right now!"
John pulled Rae aside. "I'll let Derek continue here, I'm going to search for your car. I have a hunch that if I find Skye and JR, I will find Kendall."
"John, wait…" Rae said. "I'm going with you."
"No, stay with Myrtle," John said. "I have to get back up and put your license number into the system. Go home with Myrtle and your guards in case Skye goes home." He kissed her, then headed out.
"Right now, our priorities are to bring Kendall and JR home," Derek said.
Rae furrowed her eyebrows. "And what about my daughter?"
"Kendall is in obvious danger as Erica stated, and JR is a minor that Skye has taken off with without his parents' permission."
"He's her brother!" Rae said.
"And last I heard Adam and Skye are estranged," Dixie said.
Rae groaned. "But she's not estranged from Adam Junior. She's in just as much danger as he is!"
Myrtle wrapped an arm around her. "Rae, dear. Let Derek do his job whether he thinks Skye is the villain or the victim, it doesn't matter right now. If he finds JR, he finds Skye. We'll deal with the rest later."

As Skye pulled up in front of the abandoned police station, she sighed heavily. "This was a stupid idea. We don't have a weapon or anything. I knew we should've gone to the cops."
"No cops!" JR reiterated. "Can't we make a weapon out of something?"
"Oh sure, I'll just get my gun-making kit from the trunk."
But Skye's heart sped up, when suddenly someone pulled JR's door open, and a gun pointed at his head.
"Step out of the car," it was a teenaged boy with short dark hair whose voice had started to change.
"You too."
Skye slowly turned her head to find Sage pointing a gun at her own head.
"Hand me the keys," Sage said. "Or JR dies."
Skye pulled the keys from the ignition and handed them to her.
Skye and JR obeyed and exited the vehicle. Kicking them along the way, the teenagers took Skye and JR into the abandoned station. It was really quite small—only one room and one cell with large pipes on the ceiling. As they entered, they heard a woman singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. As they walked in, they found the owner of the voice—a very disheveled Lila Quartermaine sitting in the cell in her wheelchair with Colby Chandler sleeping in her lap, and Jamie Martin on the single bed, rocking his knees back and forth. All of them looked unkempt and dirty.
"Jamie!" JR cried out, but the teenaged boy kicked him in response.
Jamie slowly looked up as Sage unlocked the door and shoved Skye inside. JR was pushed in behind her.
"JR!" Jamie jumped up and hugged him tightly. "You came to rescue me."
"Guess again, loser," Sage said. "They are prisoners now along with you. Daddy wasn't pleased that they kept tattling on our threats, so he'll be pleased we brought them in. Right, Diego?"
Skye grabbed onto the bars and looked out at them. "Let us out of here, you little creeps!"
"We're not letting you out," Diego said. "The party has just started, and we have one more guest on the way, so you better get comfortable."
"Let me go… let me go!" they heard from outside.
Next thing they knew, Kendall was dragged inside by a tall, dark-haired man with a crooked mouth. JR clutched onto Skye tightly.
Skye gasped. "Lorenzo?"
He smirked at her. "It's Luis. And I've had enough of you dragging more and more people into this." He unlocked the cell and shoved Kendall hard to the floor.
AN: I know Diego didn't come until later and wasn't raised an Alcazar, but I'm changing his backstory a bit.
