Abby walked in the abandoned building with John walking behind her. John had his gun drawn.
"John my old friend, why the gun?" Victor asked laughing.
Abby turned to see Victor carrying Lucas in one hand and a gun in the other.
"I won't use it unless you try to back out on our deal." John said staring at the man with hatred.
"John shame on you, keeping this little treasure a secret from me, I thought all of Jason's little mice were dead." Victor said laughing.
John had to brace himself to keep from shooting the man on the spot.
"Abby where's my daddy?" Lucas called out.
"You'll be with him soon, Lucas, okay?" Abby said trying to calm him.
"I'm going to set the boy down, Abby you head my way, boy you take off for that old man over there and if any one tries any thing fishy remember I got my gun trained on that boy and I wont hesitate to use it as you both well know." Victor said.
"Lucas I want you to walk to John over there and he's going to take you to your daddy, understand?" Abby said.
Lucas nodded.
Abby started forward and so did Lucas.
"No tricks old man." Victor warned John. Abby came up to Lucas and she held up her hand to indicate she was going to stop.
Victor aimed his gun in warning.
"I just want to say goodbye." Abby said.
She bent down and hugged Lucas and he hugged her back.
"Don't go with him Abby, he's bad, he killed my mommy." Lucas said starting to cry.
Abby hugged him tight trying to soothe him.
"Tell your daddy, I love him and tell him sorry about his two way, it's in the bathroom." Abby whispered in his ear.
"I will." Lucas promised.
Abby let him go and got up and started for Victor again. Finally she was close enough and Victor grabbed her arm and pulled her against him holding the gun to her head.
"You got the boy, now get the hell out of here, and tell Callaway his ex is dead, I did him a favor." Victor said.
Abby seen John had Lucas in his arms but he was still standing there.
"Get the hell out of here John, now!" Abby shouted.
John looked at her one last time and turned and left.
"Now little one lets get out of here and find a quite place where we can get to know each other." Victor said.
Abby just prayed that things worked out as she planned.
Mark was pacing. Abby and John had been gone hours and they hadn't heard anything. He was starting to go nuts.
The door opened and John came in carrying Lucas.
"Daddy!" Lucas yelled and John set him down so he could go to his daddy.
Mark grabbed Lucas and held him tight.
"Thank God Lucas I was so scared son." Mark said tears running down his face.
The first thing Glen noticed was that Abby wasn't there and a cold chill went down his spine.
"Where's Abby?" Glen asked.
John didn't say anything and for the first time Mark looked up.
"Where the hell is she John?" Mark asked.
"You have to understand this was her decision… Victor figured out who she was and he wanted her, he called her and offered a trade her for Lucas." John said.
"AND YOU LET HER DO THAT!" Mark bellowed.
"You have your son, alive and healthy don't you, do you think I wanted this, I love that girl, she was doing her job, in her eyes, her duty, what choice did I have let Victor kill your son and never doubt he would have, he killed Jeanette like she was nothing!" John snapped.
"Mark she made the choice to do this, she chose to save your son." John said.
Mark sank to the floor still holding his son tears streaming down his face. She was as good as dead, he knew that. She had sacrificed her self to save his son. The bitter words he had yelled at her this morning came back bitterly in his head. God he loved her and he hadn't even told her.
"Daddy?" Lucas said.
"Yea son?" Mark asked.
"Abby said to tell you she loves you." Lucas said.
Mark lost it then clutching his son to him. He had lost her for good, without ever telling her how he felt.
