"Is there any way you can wait outside?" Josh asked, walking out of his
bedroom.
"I'm sorry Mr. Lyman, but I need to stay close," Frank said, trying to hide a grin.
"My girlfriend is having this problem," Josh mentioned. "She can't.you know, when there's someone right outside the door."
"I'm sorry," Frank pretended to care.
"You're not going to leave, are you?" Josh moaned.
"No sir."
"Great," Josh moaned and went back into the bedroom. "He's not leaving."
"Then you're not getting any," Amy smiled and turned over to go to sleep.
"Oh, come on," Josh pouted, just then, his phone started ringing. "What the hell?" He snapped and picked it up. "Hello!"
SAM'S HOUSE
"Now, I'm warning you. Toby taught me very well," Sam smiled as he set up the chessboard.
"I've been known to play pretty good," Harry smiled.
"How good?" Sam asked.
"Well, I beat Toby the other day."
"Why don't we play scrabble," Sam quickly mentioned.
"I'm not really good at that," Harry shrugged.
"Scrabble it is," Sam smiled and went to the closet to get it out. The phone started ringing as soon as he got the game out. "Start putting it up," He told Harry and walked over to the phone, "Hello?"
OVAL OFFICE
"We're setting up road blocks on ever major roadway in DC. All planes are ordered to stay put," Nancy explained to a fuming President.
"Do you think they're still in DC? They probably already have him heading overseas!" Jed snapped. "I want every plane landed, I don't care where they are!"
"Mr. President."
"I want every road in the state blocked. I want."
"Sir, we need to be careful. We can't have a National scare. If we land all aircraft, and block all roads, people are going to start worrying and wondering what's going on," Nancy mentioned. "We also need to think of Toby. If Omar Batten is indeed the one who has him, and he sees us threatening and coming after him, he's probably not going to think twice about killing him."
"He has a member of my family," Jed warned. "I'm not just going to sit on this while everything unfolds!"
"What's going on?" Josh and Sam barged in.
"They got Toby," Jed screamed. "Damn! Why did he have to play hero?"
"Because they would have left with CJ," Nancy mentioned.
"Where's CJ?" Josh asked.
"Leo's trying to calm her down in her office," Nancy answered. "Mr. President. Give me some time. They just might contact us with what they want."
"So you honestly think we'll get Toby back from these people?" Jed asked, weakly.
"We need to think that we will," Nancy nodded. "Excuse me sir," She said and walked out.
"What happened sir?" Sam asked.
"Toby was making sure CJ got home okay. Simon and Rachel got out to check everything out. They were waiting for them," Jed wondered. "They killed Simon and Rachel is still in surgery. They went there for CJ, but Toby said something and made them take him."
"He sacrificed his life for CJ?" Josh asked, not really shocked.
"She's blaming herself," Jed sat down. "I just hope he has an idea."
~Chicago, Illinois~
"Mr. Ziegler," A new voice appeared in the distance. Toby lifted his head up and looked around, unable to see anything. "You should be proud of yourself."
"Who are you?" Toby asked. He was sitting in a chair, tied up.
"My name is Omar Batten," The man answered as the lights flickered on.
