Kim ran into the house. She called Faith and Bosco. She told them about the letter from George. She had to get Joey back. She had to. George has done some messed up things to her, but this was the worst. This was all her fault. If only she would've stayed with George even though she loved Bobby. She loved Bobby so much. Why did things have to be so messed up for her? Why did she have to involve Bobby. Bobby was a great guy. He deserved better. He deserved some one who wouldn't get him hurt or put his life in danger.

She sat on her couch waiting for Bobby to come. She told him what happened. He told he was coming over. That she probably shouldn't be alone. That he'd help her find Joey. That Joey would be safe soon. Kim was brought out of her thoughts when she heard some one knock on the door. It was Bobby. She just knew it was.

"I'm so glad you're here," Kim said smiling softly. It was a small smile, but she was trying. She opened the door more so Bobby could squeeze in. They both sat down on the couch.

"Everything will be fine baby. I promise you. We'll find Joey," Bobby said. He looked at Kim. She looked so pale. He could tell she had been crying. Her eyes were red and puffy. She looked tired and weak. He hated seeing her like this.

Kim leaned over and kissed Bobby. He welcomed the kiss. The kiss grew from soft and passionate to want and lust. Bobby pulled back. He looked at Kim. Now wasn't the right time for them to make love. Not when she was upset. Not when Joey was missing.

"I love you Bobby. Promise you'll never leave me. Promise," Kim said. She looked so sad. She looked like so lost and lonely.

"I'll never leave you. I promise. I love you more than anything in this world and nothing will ever break us apart," Bobby said. Kim relaxed a little after hearing Bobby say that. She leaned back against him and sighed deeply. Bonny looked down a few minutes later and realized that Kim was asleep. He carefully picked her up so he wouldn't wake her. He gently laid her down on the bed and pulled the covers over her. He pulled up a chair and sat down in it. He wasn't going to leave Kim when she was hurting. He could never do that. Right now she needed him. He had to be strong for the both of them.

George sat on his couch thinking about his next move. Kim loved Joey. She loved him more than Bobby. He would have Kim. Because he had Joey. And that's all Kim would be thinking about. She'd be thinking about having her son back and making sure he was safe. He would call Kim in a few days with the details. He'd let her hurt a little. She deserved it for leaving him. She betrayed him. She didn't even deserve happiness. But this time he would make her happy. He'd try hard not to hurt her. He would do anything to keep her. Even though most of the time she deserved the beatings. He knew that she would flirt with Jimmy at work. Well as soon as he had her back they would move. So then he wouldn't have to hurt her for flirting with Jimmy.

George walked upstairs and opened the bedroom door on the left. Joey had finally fallen asleep. The brat wouldn't stop crying for his mother. It got so annoying. But this brat was the only way for him to get Kim back.

Kim woke up and saw Bobby asleep on the chair. He must of pulled up the chair. He looked so peaceful. She slowly got out of bed. She needed coffee. If she didn't have some soon she'd totally lose it.

Kim looked up when she heard footsteps. She saw Bobby standing there looking at her. She gave him a small smile. He got himself some coffee and sat down across from her. He was worried about her. She could tell by the look in his eyes.

"When did you get up?" Bobby asked Kim. She looked down at her mug of coffee. She seemed distant. Why wouldn't she? Her son was missing. Of course she was distant. She was probably thinking about Joey. Bobby wished he could take this pain away from Kim. He hated seeing her in pain.

"Around six," Kim answered slowly. She missed Joey so much. She wasn't used to not having to wake him up and get him ready for school. She hated George even more for this.

"Why didn't you wake me?" Bobby asked. Kim looked at him. He couldn't tell what she was thinking.

"You looked so peaceful. I used to wake Joey up around that time. He would always ask to sleep a little later. I never let him. I should've. It would of never hurt him," Kim said. She sounded so far away. They needed to find Joey soon. He didn't know how long Kim would be able to last before going completely insane.

"I'm sorry," Bobby said. Kim got up and poured out the rest of her coffee. She went back into the bedroom. Bobby got up and followed. Maybe she was going to go back to sleep.

"What are you doing?" Bobby asked when he saw Kim frantically pulling out clothes. She looked up and sighed.

"We have to go into work soon. I don't want to be late," she replied quickly. She pulled off her shirt and replaced it with the clean one in her hand.

"Kim, you don't have to go in today. Doc will understand," Bobby said. Kim didn't listen. She finished getting changed. She turned around and looked at him.

"You coming?" Kim asked. She didn't wait for an answer. She just turned around and left. He stood there a minute the followed her. She was upset. She always acted like his when she was hurt. She tried to forget about it by doing things and keeping busy. Work always helped her keep her mind off her pain.

"When can I see mommy?" Joey asked softly. He hated this place and he hated George. George was the mean man that hurt his mom and made her cry. He was the mean guy that hurt Bobby and made mom cry again. He missed his mommy. He wanted to go back home and be with her.

"When you're mom and I are back together," George said. He turned around and left the room. Tomorrow and give her one choice..
