"You're right . . . there is something going on between me and Jamie." Landon said, seeing the anger in Miller rise.

" Blair, can you give us a minute." Miller said with his eyes on Landon. He's disappointed, Landon knows how Miller felt but still went against his wishes.

" I always miss out on the good stuff." Blair said as she leaves.

Landon knows this isn't going to be good, he knows this look in Miller's eyes, he's seen it when Miller's at his last end.

" You know what you have to do before it's too late." Miller simply said.

Landon does know, he's been fearing this moment, but he couldn't take it anymore, he snapped.

" I can't." Landon said as he lowers his head.

" You can't? Is that a no? After everything I've done for you! This is how you repay me! Putting my little girl in danger! Risking her life, even more then it has to be!" Miller yelled. He feels betrayed and hurt, that the man he thought he could trust with his life has betrayed him like this.

" I can keep her safe, like I do you and Blair. You trusted me enough with Jamie's life to put me as her guard, trust that I'll keep her safe even if we're together." Landon pleaded. He can't lose Jamie, he just finally got her.

" Carter, you know it's different, enemies know she means the world to me and if they see that you care about her, her life will just be in more danger, she'll be the number one target. You have to end it." Miller explained.

" I know. I will." Landon said as he lowers his head again. He feels his heart tighten from the pain he feels, he didn't know how much Jamie means to him, till right now.

" Good. Now we have to see if Thomas calls and try and figure out where they might have taken her." Miller said.

" Where the hell am I?" Jamie asked her self as she looks around the dark room, with only one dim light.

" Enjoying your stay?" The man that grabbed asked.

" Fat fuck!" Jamie said, as she pretends she's happy to see him.

" Very funny, we'll see who's laughing the last laugh." The man said as he places a tray of food down.

" Your scale?" Jamie asked as he leaves. She's not going to let them see her sad or crying but that doesn't change the fact that she's scared out of her mind.

" Landon, please find me." Jamie said as she as sits back against the wall that her leg is chained to.

" Alright, I talked to Stan and he found out that Thomas has a place just right outside of town." Landon said as he hangs up his cell phone.

" That's where we check out first." Miller said as he and Landon grab their jackets and head out.

" Are you sure you wanna come?" Landon asked. Miller doesn't usually come on this kind of work.

" She's my little girl, I'm sure."

They meet up with some of Miller's other men and come up with a plan to search the place and if Jamie's there, to get her out.

" Here's the house." Landon points out.

" Let's go." Miller said, he's fed up with Thomas's bullshit, this ends now. " After we get Jamie back and she's safe. Thomas is next." Miller said before they head out.

" Search the rooms." Miller tells his men.

" Do you think she's here?" Landon asked as he takes a look around the small empty house.

" She might. This is Thomas's style."

" If she is here. Where are the guards?" Landon asked.

" I don't think Thomas had planed to keep Jamie, I think he set us up to find her and all of this is a warning saying, he can get to her." Miller explained.

He's right, Thomas only did this to show him who's boss, but nothing goes as planned.

" I'll check the basement." Landon said before he leaves Miller.

He walks slowly down the steps and a small figure on the ground catches his eyes. " Jamie." He said as he walks up to her. " She's down here!" He calls out to Miller.

" Landon, oh thank god. I was hoping you'd find me." Jamie said as she wraps her arms around his neck.

" Let's get you out of here."

" There's a set of keys hanging right over there." Jamie said as she points towards the other wall.

" Here we go." Landon said as he unlocks the chain around her leg.

" Oh Jamie." Miller said as he hugs her. " Are you ok?"

" Yes, I'm fine." Jamie said, feeling so glad to see her father and Landon.

" Let's go home." Miller said as he and Landon lead her out.

" How are you feeling?" Landon asked as he joins her on the sofa.

" Better now." Jamie said as she grabs his hand. Miller's upstairs.

" Jamie. There's something I have to tell you."
