Part II
It was just after seven and Luka was still sleeping. Alex crept in, looking for Sam, and then woke up Luka in a hurry when he saw she wasn't in the bed with him.

"Luka, where's my mom?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? She's right- Sam?"

"Alex, where is your mother?"

"Would I be standing here if I knew the answer to that question Luka?"

"Uhh, okay. I'll call the ER, maybe they got slammed and she's on OT." He picked up the phone and dial, and then looked at Alex. "Hey! As soon as I hang up were going to school, so I think you should put some clothes on."

"Okay." Alex turned and sulked out of the room.

"Hey Frank, is Sam working still?" … "No? Okay, thanks." Luka got out of bed in a flash.

"Alex!" Alex was struggling to pull a shirt over his head, and running to see what Luka wanted the same time.

"Yeah? Did you find my mom?"

"No, do you have any idea where she might be?"

"No, she always comes home after work."

Luka acknowledged that with a nod. "I'll meet you in the car in five minutes."

Luka dropped Alex off, and then went straight to County. He pulled into the ambulance, and was relived to see Carter out there, waiting on an ambulance.

"Carter! Have you seen Sam? She didn't come home last night!"

"No, she left around eight or nine last night. When did you last talk to her?"

"Yesterday morning, she was gonna be home around nine and the two of us were going to share a pizza and a movie with Alex. Do you know where she might be?"

"No, sorry. Ask around, and if no one knows, you should call the police."

"Yeah, thanks." Luka basically ran through the ER looking for Sam in every room and corner.

"Susan, have you seen or heard from Sam since she left last night?"

"No, why?"

"I can't find her! She never came home and I'm going crazy. Alex is worried too."

They had reason to be worried. Sam was in a motel bathroom, alone. She was still blindfolded and her kidnapper wrapped her arms around the base of the toilet and handcuffed her wrists. "This can't be happening!" She sighed heavily.

"But it is. Why couldn't he just kill me? That would be less traumatic for everyone. Yeah, Luka and Alex would be devastated but they'd get past it." Sam was silent, as the doorknob slowly turned. He walked in, taking light footsteps.

"Hey, beautiful."

"What do you want, haven't you hurt me enough?"

"You shouldn't be hurting. I love you baby." She couldn't see his smug grin.

"I am not your baby. Don't call me that."

"Why, didn't you have fun last night?"

"No, rape isn't something you enjoy!"

"I'm sorry. Maybe you'll enjoy this!" He started kicking her, punching her, smacking her face. Sam was crying and bleeding with in seconds. He was hurting her in every way possible.

"Please stop, I'm begging you!"

He kicked her in the stomach and chest and then stopped cold. "See, I'm sure you think me having my way with you is more fun then that?"

"No!"

He crouched down and kissed her cheek.

"Well, if you aren't having a good time then you can leave." He pulled the handcuff keys out of his pocket and freed her. The he picked Sam up and put her outside the motel room door. "I hope you enjoy being alone."

And that she was. Sam was all alone, wearing only a big t-shirt and some underwear. Sam didn't know what to do or where to turn. So she just lay on the ground, crying.

"I can't believe he raped me."

Luka was frantic back in the city. He still didn't know where Sam was. In fact no one knew. She has just disappeared. The police had come and reminded the ER staff that they cared for a woman who was attacked on the same route Sam walked to get from the El to her apartment. This enraged Luka. "We have to find her. I need her, Alex needs her. If he did anything to her, then he better be ready to die. Because that's what's gonna happen to him the second I get my hands on him!"

He stormed out of the hospital, leaving everyone present shaking, Abby especially. "I think we all want this guy dead." Carter looked to Abby and then out to Luka. He was outside pacing and cursing.

"Don't worry Abby; he is officially ER Enemy Number 1."
