"Infamous, convicted, mob boss Joseph Sorel was reported missing last night from his cell in a maximum security prison in upstate New York. Sorel was convicted on numerous crimes a year ago, murder and drug-trafficking among them, and sentenced to death. Sorel is known for his on going feud with suspecte rival mob boss, Michael "Sonny" Corinthos and is considered armed and extremely dangerous.
"Sorel was admitted to the prison infirmary late last week and thought to have a serious heart condition. Last night the power generators at the prison were mysteriously turned off and a prison riot developed, during this appearant confusion somehow Sorel managed to escape, the details of this case are still being collected but we will keep you updated as the investigation progresses."
Emily dropped the remote, how was this possible, how could he be free?
There was a knock at the door and she froze in fear.
"Emily, it's Jason, open up. Are you in there?"
Emily breathed a sigh of relief and ran a shaky hand through her hair, if Jason was home everything was going to be okay. She opened the door and gave him a hug, she hadn't seen him in months and he was horrible at writing to let her know he was okay. "Jase, I'm so glad that you're home. You're here because of Sorel, you have got to find him."
"That's what I plan on doing but first we have to get you out of here, grab some clothes and anything else you need."
"Jason, I'm not going anywhere, I have school, work, I have a life and I'll be damned if I'm going to pack up and leave because of him, he's taken enough away from me."
"Emily, this isn't the time to argue. I gaurantee that Sorel hasn't forgotten what you did to him, you humiliated him, first of all you're a woman and you're my sister, he holds grudges, you might not be on the top of his revenge list but you're still on it."
"I'm staying, I can handle myself."
"Emily, you aren't listening! Sonny's organization is in trouble, we believe one of our own helped Sorel escape, and even if that's not the case if Sorel comes back to power some of our people will turn on us and I can't handle that and worry about you at the same time. Please, I can't promise you this will be over anytime soon but do this for me."
Emily sighed, she knew if she stayed and something happened to her Jason would never forgive himself. "Okay, I'll go, give me half an hour to get all of my stuff in order."
Emily jumped in the shower and then got dressed. She e-mailed her proffesors, she knew that they couldn't e-mail her work because it could be traced to easily so she printed their itineraries for the next few weeksand then she packed all of her school books, at least she wouldn't be too far behind. She called Bobbie and told her that she wouldn't be into work and that she was really sorry and then she called her mother and left her a message saying that she was taking a vacation, she didn't want her to worry. With all of that taken care of she got her suitcases and headed downstairs where four men and Jason waited for her. She got in a car and wondered where she was going to be spending the next week, maybe more.
It seemed like they switched cars a million times but finally they got to an airport, one in Maine. Then they bordered a jet and took off, Emily sighed, it didn't look like she would be staying in the U.S. That wasn't a good sign, she had been hoping for a little apartment a few states away but it seemed that Jason had something else in mind. She opened up her backpack and pulled out a book she had begun to read in the car, "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen, this was the perfect book to keep her mind occupied for awhile, unfortunately it didn't. After an hour she looked out the window for a while, they were flying over the ocean and it looked beautiful, for a little while she just watched the sun dance on the waves. That got boring after a while so she looked over at Jason who was dozing, she had wanted to ask him about where he had been the last couple months, she loved hearing about exotic locations, and Jason had been everywhere, from Germany to South America. Emily laid her heard back and looked up at the ceiling, she hoped the whole trip wasn't going to be this boring or she would loose her mind. She wondered where exactly they were going anyway, it didn't really matter, hopefully she wouldn't be there very long. She began to twist the engagement ring on her finger, she did it whenever she was nervous or thinking. Three years ago today Zander had kidnapped her from the Rave and they'd gone speeding off together, she had been so scared but despite everything she had begun to trust Zander during that time, to care for him, he had been her friend, if they could all just go back to that time, it would have been so easy to fall into the past at that moment but Emily wouldn't let herself, she knew she'd get lost in the memories and she'd feel the gigantic hole in her heart even more if she thought about the past, what they had lost together. So she picked the book back up and concentrated on each word until the past was driven out of her head.
