Shocking news

Babe was made to put a cloth over her eyes so she couldn't see where they were going. It was a long drive, over two hours. It had turned dark by then. No one talked, and no sound was made in the car except for breathing. That left Babe alone in her own thoughts.

Was she gonna die? Would she ever see her son again? What about JR, did he get her message? If Paul killed her, would he go back after her son? Would JR be able to protect Little A? Would she be able to escape to help him?

All these thoughts swirled around in her head, getting louder and louder until they finally gave her a pounding headache. She massaged her temples, and then she heard what Paul said, and it made her blood run cold.

"We're here." He told her.

She started shaking as she heard the doors open and Amanda and Paul get out. Paul opened Babe's door and yanked the cloth of her head, making her cry out in pain. He pulled her out of the car, and she saw she was in the middle of no where. Paul had pulled the truck into the back, so it would be hidden.

In front of her was a small, run down building. It was an old gray color, and the paint was chipping off in some places. Graffiti lined the outside walls, and all the windows that were in the building had been boarded over. Surrounding the building were really high trees.

Babe strained to see into the trees, but it was too dark. Babe hated woods at night, but that might be her only way to escape.

Just as she was formulating a plan, Paul grabbed her arm and Amanda walked around the other side of her, "You're not getting away that way, Babe."

Babe felt her hope deflate a little, but she knew if she could hold them off she could probably escape another way. She was dragged into the old building.

As soon as she entered, she looked around. The inside was a whole lot bigger than it looked. As she stood on the cement floor, she noticed there wasn't much in there. There was a kitchen like area on one side of the room, with an old stove and a crappy refrigerator, and next to that there was a couch and a small TV. A crib stood next to the couch.

Oh my god, they were planning on bringing my son here, Babe thought.

Then on the other side of the room there was a chair, with straps on it.

Oh God, somebody help me, Babe thought as she was dragged to the chair and thrown onto it. She started struggling, making it hard for Paul and Amanda to strap her down.

"Get off, LET ME GO!" She screamed.

"Scream all you want, Babe, no one can hear you." Amanda laughed cruelly.

That shut Babe up, and it also seemed to take all of her energy. She stopped struggling, and just let them tie her to the chair. After they wrapped the leather cuffs around her arms, they started duck-taping her legs together.

"Now see, that wasn't so bad." Paul laughed.

Babe rewarded him with an evil looked, and then looked up. Above her wasa balcony, and it went the whole way around the building. It was metal, and it only had asmall barto stop someone from falling. Babe then looked down and realized that Amanda hadn't tightened one of her straps all the way. That was her way out.

Babe tried not to make what she was doing too obvious.

"What's are you gonna do to me?" Babe asked.

"You really want to know?" Paul questioned.

Babe didn't say anything; she wasn't sure if she really wanted to know.

"Fine, I'll tell you. We are gonna keep you here for nine months."

Babe furrowed her brows, thinking, "Why nine months?" She asked.

"You really are a slow one, aren't you?" Paul laughed and continued, "You remember when you went and saw Dr. Winters because you thought you were pregnant? Well guess what, you are." Paul told her.

Babe's jaw dropped open in shock, and so did Amanda's.

"W-what?" Babe stuttered.

"I changed the test results; I'm good at stuff like that." He laughed evilly.

"What do you want with me and my baby?" Babe asked, and looked over at Amanda.

Babe was surprised to see the shocked and horrified look on Amanda's face. Babe guessed Amanda hadn't known about that.

"We are going to take that baby, and then kill you." Paul said.

JR was back at the mansion, holding Little A and talking to the cops.

"Mr. Chandler, do you know what Paul Cramer wants with Babe?" Derek Frye asked.

"I have no idea!" JR said, answering that question for the 50th time today.

Winifred came into the room; about to take Little A to bed. JR didn't want to hand him over; just in case Paul had something planned. But he knew he wouldn't be able to get through questioning with him in his arms, she he gave Little A to Winifred and she took him upstairs.

"Why didn't you call us in the first place, JR?"

"I wonder why I didn't call the PVPD... hmm maybe it has something the do with that fact that you can't do anything and that you didn't even know that the mob boss terrorizing Pine Valley was married to your ex wife!" JR said, letting the anger get to him.

Derek didn't respond, and just gave him an evil glare. "When did Babe send you this text message?" He asked, indicating JR's cell phone.

"It was a while ago, probably about 2-3 hours, maybe more. I got it while I was in the car."

"Did you see anything unusual? Maybe a certain car or truck?"

JR thought about it, and then shook his head. "No," he said weakly.

"JR, I know this is hard but it's going to be OK. I'm going to go back upstairs and look around."

JR nodded and Derek went upstairs. JR sat back down on the couch and then Tad and Jamie walked into the living room.

"JR, we just heard." Jamie told him.

JR stood up and looked at both Tad and Jamie.

"If we can do anything, just let us know. We'll find her, JR, I promise." Tad said.

"God, this is like Déjà vu. Except last time it was Bianca and Babe being lost during a storm. Now its Babe being held by two psychos!" JR yelled, and then kicked the table in front of him sending its contents flying.

"JR, its gonna be OK. Babe is smart and can take car of herself. Just like the last time, she made it through. She will get through it this time, too." Tad assured JR, and Jamie nodded.

JR sat back down on the couch and Jamie sat next to him.

"Listen, Babe came to see me yesterday, and I think I have some info that might help us find her." Tad said.
