Jason jiggled the lock so that it opened with ease. He entered slowly, his gun raised. He had no idea what might await him there. Gia had sounded frantic and crazed on the phone but most importantly, scared. Gia never called him and especially from Ric's house. Something definitely was wrong.
He closed the door behind him and stared in awe at what was in front of
him. There was a door in the wall and it was open. He slowly approached and looked in but the room was empty. He gasped softly as he looked around. There was a cot and some half eaten food on the floor. There was the baby carousel that Carly and Sonny had bought but mysteriously went missing. A cord that was attached to the wall. But the freakiest thing was the monitors. Monitors that showed various rooms of the house.
"She was watching me while I was here." Jason muttered to himself.
He had suspected Ric of taking Carly but all of this was just monstrous.
He went back into the living room and searched every inch of all the rooms of the house but there was no one there. Ric must have found Gia and left with Carly. But that left the questions, did he hurt Gia? Or Carly? And where did he take them?
He pulled out his cell phone and dialed Sonny's number. He had to tell him what he had discovered.
"Wha..." Carly mumbled as she began to wake up. She was somewhere new, she could tell that much. Somewhere uncomfortable as well.
She opened her eyes slowly and let them adjust to her new surroundings. She was in some type of building. It was dark and musty. She was on the cold hard ground. She tried to move her arms but they were handcuffed to a pipe.
Ric came into focus as he walked closer to her. He crouched down in
front of her. "Good morning sleepy head."
"Where are we?" She asked.
"Somewhere where no one will find us."
"Why did we leave?"
"Oh do you miss your old room?" He asked her with fake concern.
"At least I had a cot and a cord instead of handcuffs."
"Just thank your friend." He said, standing back up.
"What?" She asked, not willing to admit to anything.
"The person who broke in and called Jason. I couldn't afford him finding you so we had to leave." He pulled up a nearby chair so he could watch her.
"So what, you're just going to keep me here from now on?"
Ric stared at her silently.
"You're insane!" She screamed at him but he remained silent.
