HEY ALL! THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS. I HOPE YOU LIKE THE CHAP AS MUCH AS YOU DID THE LAST. SORRY FOR THE WAIT.

**~** 24 hrs after kidnapping **~**

"Hey babe, glad to see you finally woke up." Katie just moaned tremendously with excruciating pain. "Don't worry. Pretty soon you won't feel it, but first I wanna get you something to show my love for you. No one can take my spot."

He left her wrists and ankles tied and then stuck duck tape on her mouth. Two things registered in her mind immediately 'won't feel it and no one can take my spot'. She knew that no one could take his spot meant that he was going to hurt Jesse. Her ex was always giving payback to someone. She just didn't know how far he would go.

**~** An hour later in the CGH parking lot **~**

"Jesse please get some rest." Mark tried to plead with him. After the grim news of his girlfriend being kidnapped he hadn't eaten or slept. That was definitely strange for Jesse.

"You know I can't mark. Not until I find her." He was partly out of it. All that he could remember was the last time he saw her working her butt off in the emergency room. Their possible last good bye and kiss. He kept on having flashbacks of her.

"Please take it easy." Mark also wished for the best of the situation. He knew that she could be found alive or dead. He didn't what to do if the worse has come out of the situation. He may have only known her five months but it felt like she was his third daughter. Mark was always someone to love everyone around him.

"I will." Mark went to his car and Jesse to his. But before had a chance to get in his car a man grabbed him and threw him into his van.

Mark decided, before going to his car, would see if Jesse wanted to come over. Just then a blue van sped through the parking lot with no Jesse in sight. Mark got the license plate. '50 5678' he kept repeating in his head. Mark dug for his cellphone in his pocket. Mark pressed the phone number for his son's office. His hands were shaking with fear now that his two closest friends and non-blood-related family were captured by a delusional fiend.

"Sloan here." That was Steve's normal everyday greeting. He only hoped it would be his father with good news.

"Son, you have to do a license plate trace." Mark was as serious as could be expected.

"Why dad? Did someone cut you off again." Steve tried to make jokes in the worst time so he could try to overcome the thought of not seeing Katherine. He wasn't ready to hear about the latest news.

"No Jesse's been kidnapped. Probably by the same person who has Katie." Steve's heart sank with the tree worst words: "Jesse's been kidnapped." He could hardly get anything out. Jesse was his little brother. His pain in the butt little brother.

"All right dad I'll call you back in a few." He tried to concentrate on his duties but found it was a lot more challenging then he expected.

**~** The Hostage House **~**

"I'm glad to see me two love birds are awake." Both Katie and Jesse were tied up and had duck tape across their necks. Jesse was still groggy because of the effects of the partly worn off drugs. "Now to come up with the perfect murder."

The 6' 1" white 30's male paced the cabin. The three were in a stone living room with a fireplace. The large room had hardly any furnishing except for a sofa bed and a few pictures of nature on the walls.

"Ah ha. You two had quite an argument after you decide to leave him for another man. Your boyfriend smacks you so much you die of. What's that fancy term? Head trauma. Then he realizes he can't live with out you, so he commits suicide. And the police find two dead bodies. Got anything to say little whore?" He ripped the duck tape from her mouth. She let out a piercing scream.

"I can't believe your going to do this. HE DID ABSOLUTLY NOTHING TO YOU. Just let him go. He's so drugged up he won't remember a thing. Don't bring anyone else into this mess. It's between you and me. Don't drag him into it." Panic overfilled her words. She couldn't stand to see Jesse hurt. It almost tore her up seeing him just sitting there tied up.

"IT IS BETWEEN HIM AND ME! HE STOLE YOU AWAY FROM ME!" Rage ripped through his voice. He hated people telling him what to do and he made it very clear.

"No I left you because of how you treated me. He just happened to come along in my life and treated me wonderfully." She wasn't lying. She didn't say how much she loved him and how much she wanted to see her ex get payback.

"I'm tired of listening to you rant and rave." He punched her repeatedly. There she lay unconscious. That was all she remembered.

PLEASE REVIEW. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY. I EVEN LIKE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISM. I HOPE THIS LIVES UP TO MY FIRST CHAP. THANKS FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL REVIEWS SO FAR. I GREATLY APPRECIATE THEM ALL. I ALSO WANT TO SAY THANKS TO MY MOM AND DAVID WHO ENCOURAGES ME IN EVERYTHING I DO INCLUDING WRITING.
