AN: Thanks for the reviews everyone!! I hope you guys like this chapter.

Dri was standing next to the door in her small prison. The chair was held tight in her hands. She was hoping that Jason had been stupid enough to leave the door unlocked thinking that she couldn't get out of the ropes. Unfortunately that didn't happen.

She didn't know how much time had passed since Jason had been in there. If she were still tied up she wouldn't be complaining, but she wasn't, so she was. Dri wanted out of there and she hoped she knew how to do it.

At the same time she was wondering where Mac was. She knew she had to be there for a while by now. Why hadn't he come yet? Of course he hadn't come when she ran into the park. He had sent Connor. If he didn't care enough to come then, would he come now?

Dri's heart sank at the thought of it. She was so confused. On one hand she believed that Duncan truly cared about her. He was always there when she had nightmares and always tried to get her to confide in him. But if he would send someone else after her when she was missing, how much could he really care?

She shook her head trying to throw the thoughts away.

'No! Duncan cares, so does Richie!' She thought to herself. 'They'll come for me. He wouldn't let Jason hurt me. Would he?'

Everything that Dri had gone through affected her thoughts. She was completely petrified to trust anyone totally.

'Maybe I'm cursed. Maybe everyone I care about is either supposed to leave me somehow or hurt me. I don't know what I did to deserve this..Wait, yes I do. It's because of what I let happen to Adrian. If I had protected him I wouldn't be here. Maybe he'd still be alive. If this is my punishment, than I willingly take it.Just not from Jason. I don't care about him so he has no right to hurt me.'

Dri's thoughts came to a screeching halt when she heard the door knob start to turn. She gripped the chair tightly in both hands. Her thumb still had a dull ache from being dislocated but the adrenaline that began to pump through her was quickly taking the pain away.

Her timing had to be perfect. She had to do it at just the precise moment or her plan wouldn't work. Jason walked in the room carrying a tray of food or something. She didn't really care to look.

"Good after noon beaut."

His words were cut off as Dri swung the chair full force into Jasons face. The tray and its contents scattered everywhere. Dri was shocked to see that it wasn't food. It was a syringe and some kind of bottle. The bastard was going to drug her again! She looked at the unconscious heap on the floor. He probably was immortal so she wouldn't have much time. She turned on her heel and ran out of the room. She spotted stairs at the end of the hall and ran towards them as fast as her legs would carry her.

Dri ran down three flights of stairs before she finally hit the ground floor. The door wasn't far from the stair case. She bolted out the door and stopped in her tracks. Dri had no idea where she was and she'd been all over Seacouver and back before.

It was a residential area. A rich residential area with lots of fancy houses and cars that matched. Alec had been loaded but he preferred the house boat. She was completely lost as to her where abouts.

Oh well it didn't matter. The only thing that she cared about was getting rid of Jason. She ran down the block and turned left. More houses. It wasn't like the city. She could find someplace to hide for a while and then contact Mac. This was different. There was no place to hide.

Her only hope was that someone was home in one of these many houses. She ran up to the first one she came too and pounded on the door.

"Come on," She said. "Open up."

She wrapped on the door even harder. Finally the door flung open. A middle aged man wearing a maroon bathrobe that made him look overly large was standing in the doorway. To be quite frank he took up most of the space between the frame.

"Do you know what time it is?" He exclaimed. "It's 2:30 in the morning! What the hell do you want!"

"I'm sorry to bother you but I need to use your phone!"

"There's a gas station three blocks away go there." He started to shut the door in her face, but she put her foot in the door way.

"You don't understand it's an emergency! Please! It's life or death we're talking about here!"

"Go Away!" He yelled.

He started to shut the door again but Dri quickly kicked him in the gut causing him to fall backwards onto his butt. He sat there gasping for breath and Dri ran past him into the living room. She circled for a moment until she saw the phone and then she ran to it.

She quickly dialed the number and let it ring.

"Macleod," The voice said.

"Mac, it's me!"

"Dri!" Duncan exclaimed from the other end. "Are you all right? Where are you?"

"I'm fine for now and I'm..SHIT!"

"What?"

"I don't know where the hell I am, hold on."

"DRI WAIT!"

But she had already put the phone down next to the receiver. She walked over and leaned down to the man who was quickly gaining composure.

"Look, I'm sorry, but I really really need to know where the hell I am."

The man looked up at her and then past her. Dri didn't like the look. She turned around just in time to get slapped so hard across that face that it threw her half way across the room. She crashed into a table knocking the wind out of her.

The man on the floor just stared.

"I'm sorry sir," Jason said leaning next to him. He wrapped his arm around the mans shoulder.

"Now you're going to pretend that none of this ever happened my friend." Jason shrugged and smiled. "Think of it as a dream, but if you tell the cops it will become a nightmare. Do you understand?"

The man who had a petrified look on his face nodded quickly. Jason slapped him on the back.

"Good."

Dri saw what was happening and quickly got up and tried to run past Jason, but it didn't work.

"Hold on beautiful," He said grabbing her around the waist.

Dri screamed. "Let go of me you bastard!"

"Now, now beautiful, such hostility."

Dri elbowed an unexpecting Jason in the head. The blow connected directly with his nose causing blood to pour out and McDaniels to drop her. She ran past him out the door, but Jason was quick on her heels. He tackled her in the grass.

Dri let out a blood curling scream. Attention was a good thing right now. Jason slapped her across the face. It stunned her, but it wasn't enough to shut her up. She screamed again and Jason pulled a syringe out of his pocket.

"I didn't want to have to use this but you leave me no choice."

Dri grabbed his hand before he could inject it into her skin. She needed to bide her time. Someone had to have heard her and called the police by now. They struggled back and forth for the needle. Jason finally threw the syringe down. He was becoming tired of these games.

He stood up, yanking Dri up by the wrists as he did so. She broke his hold and went to punch him, but he quickly blocked. She in turn produced a round house kick, but he grabbed her leg. She smiled, jumped and kicked him square across the face with the other one, knocking him to the ground.

Running wasn't an option anymore. She had to stay where she was. Someone had to have called the cops by now. Dri started kicking him in the side. Jason grunted and rolled out of the way, standing up as he did so.

"I underestimated you beautiful," He said wiping blood from his face. "Connor has taught you well."

She tilted her head in confusion. This wasn't lost on Jason.

"Connor didn't teach you? I thought you and MacLeod were close."

Then she realized that Jason had only seen her with Connor. He hadn't realized that she lived with Duncan, not the other Highlander. If he knew that he might not want her around much longer. That wouldn't be good.

"Connor taught me some, but I already knew most of it," She lied.

Jason smirked. "I may have underestimated you once, but I will not make that mistake again."

Sirens started wailing in the distance.

"Damn mortals," Jason muttered. "They're always getting in the way."

He took a step towards Dri, she held her ground.

"If you try and take me you'll never get away Jason. The cops will take you to jail."

Jason partially bowed. "You have won this round beautiful, but this isn't over. I will have you."

With that said he took off into the night. Dri watched until he was out of sight. Then she fell to her knees just as the police cars pulled into the drive.
