Tom: What the hell do you mean she has been kidnapped?
Jack: I am sorry, Tom, but she went to Barbara Ryan's place to check
out a break in that Barbara reported and by the time the uniforms and
I got there she was gone. We are sure she was taken because her car
was still there and these were found on the scene.
Jack shows Tom Margo's coat, gun, and badge. All the color drains
from Tom's face. He and Jack both know that no cop, especially
Margo, would take off their badge and their gun during duty. They
were both thinking the same thing. Somebody must have taken them off
of her and then taken her against her will. Just then, Tom has
another horrifying thought.
Tom: OMG
Jack: what?
Tom: Let me see her coat.
Jack hands Tom the coat and Tom reaches into the pocket and confirms
his fear. He pulls out her cell phone and a prescription bottle with
her name on it.
Jack: What is that?
Tom: This is the medication she has been taking for her medical
problems.
Jack: I thought she was better.
Tom: She is much better and well enough to work but she had
Hepatitis C and a liver transplant. She'll need anti-rejection drugs
and probably antibiotics for the rest of her life.
Jack: What are you saying?
Tom: I am saying that she has very special medical needs that this
creep that took her probably doesn't know anything about and
probably wouldn't care if he did. I am saying that she could
possibly die of rejection or something else if we don't find her
within the next 48 hrs.
Jack: got it. Shanks, I want you and several others to go to
Barbara Ryan's house and look at every inch of the place for evidence
as to where they might be and track down Barbara, she is probably at
Lisa's. I bet she knows something about this. Tom, I promise you, we
will do everything in our power to find her. Don't worry, she is
smart, she is one of the best cops I have ever known and she rescued
Hal and me more than once. We will find her.
Tom: I hope your right Jack, I hope your right, but I got a bad
feeling about this.
Location: somewhere just outside Oakdale
1:00 PM Monday
Margo has just discovered that James was the one who kidnapped her.
She just regained consciousness and is disoriented.
Margo: James, what are you doing here, I thought you were in jail.
I arrested you myself.
James: Margo, you underestimate me. How many times have I escaped
before.
Margo winces at the sharp pain in her head.
Margo: What do you want?
James: (taunting) What do I want? I want revenge. You betrayed me.
We could have been something together but you had to go and become a
cop just so you could put me in jail. You've spent the last 15 years
or more chasing me. I am just plain sick of you trying to make my
life miserable.
Margo: (Yelling) You deserve it, especially after what you did to
Carly, Emily, and Rose.
James: You know I didn't bring you here to ramble on. I brought you
here to kill you. I could do that right now. but I think it would be
more worthwhile if I just left you here and you die slowly.
Margo: You sick ---
James: good bye Margo. It was nice knowing you.
Margo: (Yelling) James, James don't leave me here!
James leaves. Margo tries to get up but she discovers that her feet
and hands are tied. She looks around and discovers there is no food
or water around and even worse, she didn't have the medications that
she needed to avoid liver rejection or more complications from the
Hepatitis C. She doesn't have a phone and she can't even figure out
where she is. She did the only thing she could do in a situation like
this. She thought about Tom and prayed that he would find her before
it was too late. Somehow she knew he would. That was the last
comforting thought she had before everything went black from
exhaustion and pain.
