-------------------------------------------------

Nancy and Joe looked everywhere they couldn't find Jamie. They asked people by the pool, by the restaurant, by the gym, and people on deck.

"Joe where else can we look?" Nancy asked.

"I don't know we've looked everywhere..."

"Wait we didn't look in the restaurant."

"Nancy why would she be in the restaurant."

"No, no. She wouldn't be in the restaurant, but someone might have seen something."

"I guess we could look although we might not find anything."

"I know, but.... I just want to find her, she was my responsibility!"

"What do you mean your responsibility?"

"Do you know how old Jamie is?"

"18" "No, she's 17, she's not a legal adult until next week... this was her birthday present."

"Well I'm 17 too."

"Yeah, but it's a little different, you know how to handle being kidnapped and dangerous situations she doesn't."

"Nancy we will find her don't worry."

"Oh, Joe I really hope so."

"Me too." Nancy and Joe walked into the restaurant. They began questioning people and waitresses. They were about to give up when Valerie (you know that chick Joe asked to the ball then broke the date) was leaving because her shift was over.

"Valerie have you seen Jamie?"

"Jamie? That one girl who hangs out with her all the time." Valerie said pointing at Nancy.

"Yeah her."

"Oh, I saw her a couple of hours ago she met some and they went over by the storage area where they keep the machinery and all that. Joe looked at Nancy.

"Let's go! Oh, yeah thanks Valerie."

"No problem." Nancy and Joe found it and groaned in dismay. There were several doors on both sides. "How fun." Nancy said sarcastically. Door after door. Open close, open close, open close. 'Thump, thump, thump!'

"What's that?" Joe ran towards the door that the noise was coming from. The thumping stopped. Joe tried the knob...locked.

"Joe the lock is old maybe you can kick the door in."

"Maybe." He tested the door. "I can do it."

'Pound bang' Joe kicked in the door, it was dark and musty inside. Joe looked around "There's nothing here, but boxes and machines...."

"Alright.... then I guess she isn't here." "What's that?"

"What's what?" "That on the floor."

"I don't know I can't see it."

"Do you have a flashlight?" Nancy pulled out her mini flashlight and handed it to Joe. He turned it on and shined it onto the liquid, it was red and smeared onto the concrete as if something had been dragged. "Nancy." "Yeah?"

"Do you think that's blood?" "Joe..."

"Jamie! Jamie are you in here!!" Silence. Joe followed the blood smeared trail...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Thump, thump, thump' She stopped. Footsteps!! 'I have to hide Bryan might be coming back. Perhaps to get rid of her for good! No, she wasn't going to let him. She got on her elbows and quickly dragged herself away from the door and slid softly behind the crates and tapped against them, it was enough to knock off a pair of pliers off the top of the crate pile. The pliers fell and hit her on the head. Jamie felt blackness surround her and there was a crash then silence.

--------------------------------------------------.

He followed it until it ended by a crate. "Nancy! It's Jamie"

"I'll go get the doctor!"

"Ok, I'll stay with Jamie." "I'll be back as soon as possible." Nancy said running out the door.

Joe looked at Jamie's dirty face and scraped legs. He could've stopped this! If he had only asked her instead, none of this would've happened. He carefully examined the wire, which had cut her. He picked up the pair of pliers and he clipped the wire and removed it from her wrist and ankles. He found a cloth and soaked up water nearby at a rusty sink. He went back over to her and gently dabbed her forehead. He checked her ankle to make sure it was no longer bleeding. He softly cleaned her face. She stirred and opened her eyes. She looked up at him, but said nothing. "Are you okay?"

"I am now."

The silence was unbearable he kissed her. She didn't hold back, nor pull away. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer.

He slowly pulled away and smiled "Well my my my aren't we feisty this morning. For a damsel in distress you sure aren't distressed."

"Oh so u want distressed eh? I'll give you distressed" she teased. "Really now?" "Yes really." "Ah help me he's hurting me, someone help!" She said playfully. He grinned and kissed her again. The door opened and they quickly pulled away. Nancy, and the doctor entered. The doctor checked Jamie and said that she needed some rest and to relax the next few days. Jamie nodded. The doctor left.

"Can you stand?" Nancy asked. "Yes." "No!" Jamie looked at Joe.

"Fine let's see it." Jamie carefully shifted her weight onto her feet and stood. She fell. "

Told u she couldn't." Joe picked her up off the floor and cradled her against him. Jamie didn't object it's what she had planned. Nancy said, "I'm going to go find Frank and see what's going on."

"Alright, I'll take Jamie back to her room, so she can rest." Joe carried Jamie to her room. On the way Jamie saw the chick that broke up with Frank and some guy that seemed vaguely familiar, like she's seen him somewhere before...They seemed to be in love though.

'No,' she thought, 'I don't even know where I could possibly know him from.' They entered the room and Joe set her on the bed. He went into the bathroom and got the first aid kit to clean her cuts. At his touch she shivered. He didn't notice. "OW!" Jamie quickly withdrew her ankle from his grasp. "Sorry." He stuck out is hand. "What?" "I'm not done." "Oh." He cleaned her cut ankle, while Jamie looked around the room bored.

She was looking at Nancy's pictures on her nightstand. There was one of her father and Hannah, one of her, Jamie, Frank and Joe, then the other one was with her boy friend...Jamie stopped. That guy in the picture was the one smooching on Frank's ex-girlfriend! Jamie gasped. "OMFG." She whispered. Joe looked up confused.

"That guy in the picture that's Nancy's boy friend? "Yes." "Seriously?" "YES"

"Didn't she say he was back at college doing exams and stuff?" "I think so why?" Because he's on THIS cruise. I saw him with that that CHICK!!" "What chick?" "Franks ex-girl friend!!!"

"You can't be serious." "I am!" She got up and limped out of the room toward the stairs, carefully she limped up the stairs. "Jamie! I think your crazy! Ned would never..."

He trailed off as he saw whom Jamie pointed at. There they were Callie Shaw and Ned Nickerson holding hands giving little kisses to each other at a time, and Ned whispering in her ear. He couldn't believe it! Nancy was still with Ned!

"That lying SON OF A B-" Jamie pulled Joe back down the stairs before he could finish his sentence.

"We have to tell Nancy and Frank!"

"Joe I think that Frank already knows." "WHAT?"

"Well you said it yourself he never told you why he and Callie broke up. Maybe he found out or something and dumped her."

"Let's find Frank and confront him about it."

"Yes, but we have to make sure that Nancy does not find out."

"The ball is tonight." "Yeah, so." "I have to get ready!"

"But...but the doctor said you had to take it easy." Joe Hardy if you think I'm going to miss a night out with you your crazy!" Jamie stopped suddenly realizing what she had just said. She blushed and turned away. He turned her to face him and kissed her. She didn't object.

"I want you to go, but I want you to take it easy ok?" Jamie smiled. "Ok." She kissed him this time more affectionate than the last. The kisses became deep and longing. Joe gently pushed her on the bed, not breaking the lip lock. And got on top of her. The door opened and Nancy and Frank walked in. Nancy stopped mid-giggle. Joe had jumped up and Jamie sat up quickly. "Joe!" Frank said shocked. "What?"

"Well um...anyways Nancy could you get me something to eat please I'm not really up to it." Jamie gave a weak smile. "Seems like you are." "Please Nancy."

"Sure ok."

"Actually," Frank said. "I can go with y-"

"Actually I need Frank to help figure out what suit I should wear to the dance." "What?"

I'm sure you can do that yourself Joe."

"No, I need your opinion on one."

"It's ok Frank I can go by myself." Nancy left the room. Joe checked the door to make sure she was gone. "Ok, she's gone?"

"What's going on?"

"Frank maybe you should take a seat. We need to ask you some questions."
