THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS I REALLY ENJOY THEM AND IM GLAD YOU LIKE THIS STORY!!     

            Courtney opened her eyes ever so slightly as the morning proceeded to wake her. She wrapped her arms tighter around Jason's body trying to savor the moment. He could feel her do the same so she guessed he was awake. She turned her head up towards him so she could look into his pretty blue eyes.

            "Hey," she said quietly as Jason's gaze connected with hers.

            "Hey" he whispered back.

            "How long have you been awake?" she asked him.

            "Not that long…. I've been watching you sleep," Jason responded as he began to stroke her hair. She proceeded to rest her head back against his shoulder as she traced lines across his chest. She prayed this moment would last forever, just her and Jason together, but of course it was short lived. Jason quickly pulled away from her and jumped off the bed as he began to pace the room once again. After a few minutes he stopped to face her.

            "I've got it…" Jason said trying to devise a plan in his mind.

            "You've got it?" Courtney questioned as she began to sit up.

            "Yeah… I can get us out of here. God, how did I not think of this quicker?" Jason stated as he questioned himself.

            "Really… will it get us killed?" Courtney asked.

            "Killed? Of course it won't get you killed," Jason stated.

            "Okay… then what is it?" Courtney asked him hoping he would get to the point.

            "Alright… that guy he always comes in here to give us food so we don't starve cause if we starve then we die, then Ric is totally screwed. So when he comes in here you distract him and I'll just kinda come up from behind and knock him out. Then we can just get out of this room and go from there," Jason explained as he began to pace again.

            "So…. What happens when the other guard rushes inside?" Courtney asked.
            "I'll just beat the living hell out of him," Jason pointed out.

            "And then when Ric busts out with a gun and uses us for target practice?" she added.

            "He wouldn't kill us," Jason said, "He's not man enough and he knows Sonny would kill him."

            "Are you sure about that… him not killing us?" she asked.

            "Well…. Then I'll take the guards gun with me to defend us," Jason said stopping to sit down.

            "So what happens when your plan fails?" Courtney asked Jason.

            "God, could you be any less supportive?" Jason asked as he turned to face her.

            "Well sorry… I'm just trying to make sure we don't get killed," Courtney pointed out.

            "You know I won't let anything happen to you," Jason said.

            "I know you've told me numerous times," she responded.

            "Alright… so that's what we'll do then?" Jason said to Courtney.

            "Yeah… I guess. What happens after we get out of here though," she asked.

            "Well… we'll I'll make sure your safe and that nothing will happen to you and then Sonny and me will deal with the rest," Jason replied.

            "So you're gonna go kill Ric?" Courtney asked.

            "I don't know," Jason replied, "Look all I wanna do right now is get you out of here and make sure your safe and everything is okay."

            "I know Jason… but what if something happens to you?" she questioned.

            "Nothing will happen to me," Jason assured her.

            "I couldn't stand it if something happened to you because of me," Courtney stated as she began to stoke the side of his face.

            "Nothing will… I promise," Jason responded as he grasped her hand and interlocked it with his. He pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her as she did the same. She once again rested her head against his shoulder. He held her close, not wanting to let her go. He needed to do everything in his power to get her out of here and to a safe place and he vowed to himself he would do just that, even if it cost him his life.

            Sonny ran his hand against the rim of his wine glass as he leaned against his couch. He was waiting for his men to find out what happened to Jason and Courtney and there wasn't much else he could do. It had now been over a week since they had been kidnapped and he was starting to get quite nervous. Finally, after which seemed like decades, the door to the penthouse flew open and Max walked inside.

            "Max," Sonny stated as he quickly stood up and walked towards the familiar guard.

            "Hey Sonny, we have a pretty good lead on who the kidnapper is," Max stated getting straight to the point.

            "Who is it?" Sonny quickly asked.

            "Well I had some guys follow all of the possible suspects and we came up with Ric Lansing," Max responded.

            "Ric," Sonny said to himself getting more pissed off as minutes ticked by.

            "We had someone follow him because he's been acting pretty suspicious and we were right," Max continued, "I guess he has some house out in some remote area. I'm guessing that's where he's keeping Courtney and Jason. Here's a paper with the address on it and where to find this place."

            "Thanks, you've done good work," Sonny said as he grabbed the paper and scanned it over. Max then left the penthouse closing the door behind him and proceeding to guard it.
 
            Back inside the penthouse Sonny began to pace. All he wanted to do was kill Ric and he was planning on doing just that. But first he had to save his best friend and his sister. Just as he began to get lost in his thoughts Carly emerged from the stairs.

            "Hey, have you found anything out about Jase and Courtney?" Carly asked as she began to run her hands together because of her nervousness. Sonny slammed his drink down against the table and quickly turned to face Carly.

            "It's Ric!" he stated as all his anger began to come to the surface.
