"Come here you." Brenda said hugging Jason as he hugged her back, pulling away from him she looked at him, he looked tired and ragged and lifeless. "We're going to find her Jason."

"Jason." Lorenzo said as Jason turned around and looked at him. He had never been a fan of his but right now, with him being Sam's family he was so thankful for him, "I am sorry that I have been abroad, I had no idea about Sam, it just seemed as though she stopped calling me one day and then a few months went by without anything."

"When was the last time she called?"

"A while ago. You were already in Port Charles by then with Courtney and your daughter. She had asked if I had seen you and I told her what I knew."

"And you didn't think of calling me?" Jason said angered by the lack of ignorance on his part.

"Sam told me not to Jason, she said you were where you were supposed to be."

"That's bull and you know it." He yelled at him.

"Jason she was devastated for pushing you away, and the last thing she needed was more heartache."

"That is the lamest excuse I have ever heard. You should have known I would do anything for her, Anything. I would never have let her sit and wonder about me."

"No, you might not have but since your damn ex wife was running interference when Sam would call she would get Courtney telling her that you hated her, you didn't want to have anything to do with her and it came to a point Jason where Courtney told Sam that if she didn't stop calling and sending the letters that Sam would have no one to blame but her self when they found you dead somewhere, that was the last thing she needed Jason and so in order to have you safe and sound she just stopped calling altogether and gave up, because she loves you Jason with all her heart she didn't want or didn't need another death on her conscience."

"So Courtney told Sam she would have me taken out if she didn't leave me alone, I would like to know how she thought she would pull that off."

"Sam wouldn't tell me, she said the less I knew, the better off I was."

"Does Sonny know about this?"

"I have no idea Jason, but from what I could get from Sam is that she was dead serious, no pun intended."

"So how'd you end up here looking for Sam?"

"I haven't heard from her in weeks, Her cell number is changed, come to find out she has only been gone from Florence for a little over a month, Gemma and Anthony are worried sick about it as you know. And so when we were talking yesterday Anthony remembered something that Sam told him the day she quit."

"What?"

"That she was probably going to go to Hawaii."

"Yeah, we talked about going there quite a bit."

"And that is where I come in." Brenda said standing next to Lorenzo. "She called me earlier this afternoon and when she was on the phone with her, I could hear someone in the background saying 'Hotel Pacifica Waikiki'.

"Did she ask about me?"

"No Jason, I just think more than anything, she wanted to hear a familiar voice, she sounded depressed."

"She called me just a few hours ago, she said she loved me and missed me and that she was sorry for the pain she caused me."

"Did you talk to her?"

"No, she hung up before I had a chance to say anything to her and I have had the worst feeling since yesterday, first she called Gemma, then me, then you Brenda. It's like she is reaching out to all of us to find her like she just can't go on… And if that's the case, I will never forgive myself." Jason said

"Well, we won't think about that okay?" Brenda said reaching out and touching his hand.

"I need to call Stan see if he has come up with anything." He said grabbing for his phone he made the call and Stan hadn't found anything out yet. He was on the computer searching everywhere."

"Do me a favor and see if you can find her registered as a guest at Hotel Pacifica in Waikiki, HI."

"I will get right on it." Stan said and I will be calling you. "By the way, where are you?"

"In mid flight to Hawaii as we speak, just give me a call back, and Stan not a word of this to Courtney, Carly or Sonny."

"I wouldn't dream of it."

"Thanks." Jason said hanging up and rubbing his eyes.

"You look tired Jason, why don't you rest for a bit?" Brenda said to him.

"No, I have to stay awake."

"Jason, lay down, relax, take a load off." Brenda said to him seeing he needed rest badly.

"Fine." He said looking at her, knowing she was right. He hadn't slept for what seemed like forever.

"It will be a few hours before we get there anyway, and if Stan calls back, then I will talk with him and get the information for you."

"I never thought I would be saying this to you and sincerely meaning it. Thank you." He said then turned over and fell asleep.
