"When was the last time you saw her?" Gabriel asked Jack.
"This afternoon, the doctor gave her something to sleep. I found her walking around outside…brought her back in…and she went to sleep so I left her…I shouldn't have left her…" Jack said as he put his head in his hands.
"That means she's been missing for six hours." It was very early the following morning. Gabriel went upstairs and saw Eve wasn't there, and he panicked and started searching each room…and found nothing.
"I have interviewed everyone…" Damien ran in out of breath.
"And?" Gabriel asked.
"No one saw her. I have them searching the estate…Gabriel…unless they turn up something we have nothing to go on…"
"When they get back we are going to Paris…whoever this is…he is a pirate…he is going to take her back to the sea." Gabriel then sat down and looked out the window. "It's like she just disappeared…no sign of struggle…nothing…" Gabriel then racked his mind. "Have you seen Doctor Lange?"
"No." Jack said. Gabriel then got up and ran to the doctor's room and stepped inside.
"He's not here." Gabriel said out of breath.
"Maybe whoever took Eve took him too…" Jack said.
"No…he had to be in on it. His bag isn't here." Gabriel then took a small table and flipped it over. "The bastard was in this house…examining my wife…we trusted him…"
"Gabriel you couldn't have known." Damien said.
"I should have been more careful." Gabriel said. Someone then was running up the stairs.
"I found something!" A young man shouted as he ran up the stairs. The four then ran downstairs and out of the house towards the fields. "Look at this…" He picked up a small clip.
"This is from her hair…" Gabriel said as he picked it up. "He must have thrown it out the window…as he…" Gabriel then glanced around. "Get the carriages ready!" Gabriel shouted. The fields bustled with activity…they would be leaving for Paris shortly.

Three days later…
Eve woke up. She was cold…she was wet…and she was in pain. Opening her eyes slightly she saw she was in a cell…sleeping on a small bed. She sat up…she noted she was on a ship…she could feel the sway of the ship. Then her memory hit her at once. She got up from bed and felt a drag at her ankle. Her ankle had a chain on it…she was chained to the bed.
"I'm glad to see your awake." A voice, a voice she recognized woke her.
"Doctor Lange…is that you? What's going on?" Her voice became frantic.
"Nothing child…" The doctor then stepped closer to the cell.
"What are you doing?" Eve's head still spun.
"I am here to take care of you until you deliver."
"What? I don't…" Eve suddenly realized what he was saying. "You slimy bastard."
"Now that isn't very nice. Now I am going to tell you everything you need to know…now are you going to keep quiet." Eve didn't say anything, she just sat back down on the bed. "Good."
"Do you remember the Mediterranean?" Doctor Lange leaned against the bars. "The tirade you and your then husband caused."
"Yes." Eve wasn't sure what he was getting at, the Mediterranean was indeed violent, but they had been careful.
"Well then you remember a ship, The Forgotten?" Eve's memory racked, she tried to remember.
"No, I don't." She could see him anger.
"You have too…remember the young girl…the young mother…" Eve's mind went back.
"Jon their ship is sinking!" Eve shouted.
"Eve, we can't do anything about it! Their pirates they know the consequences!" Jon grabbed Eve's arm and directed her towards the ship. "They would not help us if it were the other way around." He whispered in her ear.
"Jon, she's having a baby…and she has a small boy…" Eve said as she watched the ship go under.
"No one gave you mercy."
"Jon, we can't just…"
"Yes we can, now order the crew to pull away." Jon turned her around and looked at her in the eyes. "Eve, this is what it's all about, no mercy, you above all people should know that."
"Her name was Beatrice. She was my daughter. I knew her husband was a pirate, but they loved each other none the less. I was on the ship with her…and her husband and I both survived." The doctor continued. "I saw you looking at her…watching her…I knew you were watching her…you saw her struggle…you saw her try and save herself and her son…"
"My wife died…my children died…because your nothing but a cold hearted bitch!" Another man walked in and stood right next to Doctor Lange…she remembered him… "Don't you remember me Eve?"
Eve was so scared she couldn't answer. "Captain Anthony Raymond. You destroyed my family."
Eve had no idea what to say. "I didn't mean…I'm sorry…"
"Sorry isn't good enough." He opened the cell. Anthony Raymond was a huge man, he had to duck to get in the cell, and he looked powerful. Eve scooted back in the bed, afraid he was going to strike her. "I'm not going to hit you…I have other plans for you…" He pulled her arms away from her face, and stared straight through her. "You are going to die the way my wife and children died. Did you know she was nine months into her pregnancy? She was ready to have our child any day, she was so happy…and you killed her."
"You know the consequences of life on the sea. I have felt pain, and loss…it comes with it, you knew that when you let your pregnant wife on your ship, and your son…" Eve took her hands back. "How could you let your son out of your sight? You knew the ship was sinking, and yet you did nothing!" Eve shouted back.
"And now your remarried. To Gabriel Johnson, shipping and trading tycoon, having twins…" It seemed as though everything she had said made no difference.
"What does this have to do with Gabriel? It's me you want revenge for…"
"Gabriel has almost single-handedly wiped out pirating. If you think that I am all alone on wanting him dead, your wrong. I have the support of many. Even your own parents are pulling out…and so are your brother and sister."
"There will be those that will continue to sail."
"Of course, but Gabriel has made it difficult. His ships are powerful…and he can live with the fact that with all the power he has he could not protect his family. He is going to live out the rest of his life knowing that you and his children died because of the foolish mistakes he made." He then got up and the Doctor walked in, holding a needle.
"No!" Eve shouted and started to squirm. Anthony held her arms down. "Get away!"
"Eve, it would go easier if you just lie still…" The doctor said. Eve still kicked her legs and hit the doctor in the face, causing him to stagger back. "Hold her legs Anthony!" Anthony then painfully grabbed both her hands and legs and held her firmly to the bed.
"Don't start being a menace!" The doctor said. He then took the needle and stuck it in her thigh. "Now, sleep child…" Eve looked up…whatever he was giving her was potent…she couldn't function right, her thoughts scrambled…she reached her hand up and grabbed Anthony's shirt…
"What is she doing?" Anthony asked the doctor.
"She doesn't know what she's doing…she'll fall asleep again…don't worry Anthony…"
