I walk a lonely road The only one that I have ever known Don't know where it goes But it's home to me and I walk alone
"Mum im fine. No, there's been no news on her. Ok mum, say hi to grandad for me. Love you mum."
Jack placed the phone down on the table and turned the volume up on the cd player. It was right, he did feel alone.
I walk this empty street On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams Where the city sleeps and I'm the onl......
Jack turned the cd player off as a knock on the door sounded through the hall.
"Daniel. I told you im fine."
Jack opened the door.
"What are you doing here?"
Anise stepped through the door and walked to the livingroom.
"Sams disappearance is all over the news. Everyone is talking about it."
Jack closed the front door and went back to where he was sitting.
"I wanted to see how you are? I mean this is terrible news about Sam."
"You didn't even like her, so why are you really here?"
"I may not have been her best friend or even any type of friend but that doesn't mean i stop caring about you. Im worried about you."
"Well, there's no need to worry about me because i will be fine once Sam is found."
Jack stood up and headed
"Jack."
Anise stood.
"You've heard what the police have been saying. She could be dead, there was blood at the scene."
Jack turned around and hammered his fist on the desk.
"I was at the god damn scene. I saw the blood and she is not dead. Sam would not let herself die. Her strength will not allow it."
Anise walked over to him.
"Even if Sam is still alive when police find her, at the end of the day you will not be the one she wraps her arms around. Graham will be that one person you long to be the most."
Jack stared blankly as Anise closed the gap between them.
"Face it Jack. You will not get her back even if she is safe and alive at the end of the days she is Graham."
Anise brushed her lips against Jacks.
"But i do not belong to anyone."
Jack pulled back.
"And it will stay that way."
Jack walked back to front door.
"Just go Anise. Go and leave me the god damn alone."
Anise walked over to the front door.
"Just be careful Jack. The psycho she's with might snap at any moment."
Anise smirked and walked out. Jack slammed the door shut and went back into the livingroom, turning the stereo on full blast.
I walk alone I walk alone
(Janet's Room)
"She's been gone a week Daniel. Part of me doesn't want to believe what the other half of me is saying."
Daniel looked up.
"and what's that?"
Janet looked at him. Her eye's glazed over with tears.
"That Sam is already dead."
Daniel jumped off the bed and quickly wrapped his arms around Janet.
"Then listen to the half of you that's denying it."
Janet placed her head on his chest but backed away from his warm embracing body.
"My mum will kill me if i do not tidy my room."
Daniel smiled and fell back on the bed.
"Then i will stay and watch."
Janet smiled warmly as she picked up pieces off the floor but fell to pieces when she picked up a top.
"Janet. What's wrong?"
Janet held up the blood red top.
"Sams top."
Daniel took the top and placed it on the bed. He used his right hand to wipe away the tears.
"They'll find her. We'll find her."
Daniel went to kiss Janet but the tone of his mobile began to sound.
"It's Jack."
Daniel pressed the answer button.
"Hi."
"Its Jonas!"
"What?"
"Jonas has got Sam. I think Anise is in some sort of arrangement with him. She said something that ticked me off and it finally clicked. Hansen has Sam."
Daniel rubbed his head.
"What makes you so sure?"
"I don't know. Meet me at the police station in 20 minutes."
"Im with Janet."
"Bring her."
Daniel placed his mobile down as Jack hung up.
"We've got to meet Jack."
(Somewhere Unknown)
"I was watching the news earlier. The photo your brother gave to them is stunning. You look so beautiful. It was of you in your cheerleading outfit."
Sam didn't say anything, she just sat there.
"They showed a couple more after that. You with your father, with Janet and Graham."
Sam's eyes didn't lift at the sound of her loved ones names.
"The final picture was of you, Janet, Daniel and Jack. I must say you and Jack looked pretty cosy. His arms were draped across your shoulder and you were leaning into him."
A small smile crept onto Sam's lips.
"When was it taken?"
"Two weeks ago."
"Where?"
"Up in Jacks grandfathers cabin."
Jonas leaned into Sam and took her chin in his hand.
"If i didn't know any better i'd say you were soft for this O'neill kid."
Sam looked Jonas dead in the eye.
"It's more than softness. It's love"
"Love."
"Yes. It's a feeling Jonas. Not that you would know anything about feelings."
Jonas roughly let go of Sams chin.
"Feelings. I went through hell with you. I loved you and you just chucked it back in my face."
"Jonas you couldn't love. Your way of showing you loved me was to rape me and hit me."
Jonas stood up gripping his head.
"You left me no choice. You never came around the flat. You were always with your friends who were mostly guys. I got jealous and when you refused to have sex, then that made me think you were seeing someone else. I had to show you that you were mine."
"By raping me."
"It was the only way you'd learn your lesson."
Sam's voice dropped back to it's normal self control.
"Well, your lesson didn't work very well then."
"What do you mean?"
"Im in love with Jack now and there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it."
Jonas laughed and walked over to Sam. He slowly bent down to be eye to eye with her. He placed his body weight on her.
"Jonas, what are you doing?"
"Teaching you another lesson."
Jonas slid his hand up her skirt and rubbed it over her firm skin. Sam closed her eyes so she couldn't see or cry.
'I will not let him break me.'
Jonas free hand unbuttoned Sams shirt and ran over Sams breasts.
"Your body get's more beautiful everyday."
His hand slid to her back and she winced as she felt his hand fiddling with the bra clasp.
'Please don't let him get it.'
Sam tried to move as she heard the clasp come undone.
"Ah-Ah. Just relax Sammie. It will be like old times."
As he started to slide her skirt down Sam broke.
"Jonas please."
Jonas looked at her and took his hand away.
"Are you begging Sam?"
"I'll do anything."
Jonas brought their faces nose to nose.
"Tell me you love me."
"No."
"Then you can't do anything."
Jonas brought his face back and carried on bringing Sams skirt down.
"No."
Sams anger managed to help her have the force to push him off her.
"Sam!"
Sam got up and ran into the bathroom. Locking it behind her and moving anything heavy infront of the doors path.
"You can't stay in there forever."
"I can try."
"and i can wait."
Sam listened as his heavy footsteps began to walk and vanish as the door slammed shut. Sam looked at the bath and turned the taps, wanting to get rid of the vile stench that clouded her.
(Police Station)
"What's this about Jack?"
"Jonas has Sam."
Janet sighed.
"We don't know that."
"Janet, we have to try this. I know Sam would want us to try and this is much better than sitting on our asses feeling completely useless."
Daniel and Janet nodded in agreement and went with Jack into the police station. Jack walked up to the reception desk.
"Im looking for Pete Shannahan."
"Who's asking?"
"Just tell him that i have information about missing person Samantha Carter."
The receptionist rolled her eyes and picked up the phone. Jack leaned on the desk and listened to the conversation.
"He said he has information on Samantha Carter. He looks at most eighteen. Ok sir."
The receptionist put the phone down and looked at Jack.
"You and your friends better take a seat. he'll be down in ten minutes."
Jack nodded and sat next to a already seated Janet.
(10 minutes)
Pete came jogging down the steps.
"What are you doing here?"
"Giving you information on Sams disappearance."
Pete looked at Janet and Daniel.
"They don't know anything. They're just here cause i called them and asked them to meet me here."
Pete swiped a card in some sort of device and opened the door.
"If you'd like to come this way. You two are going to have to wait here though."
"Ok."
Jack got up and placed a hand on Janets shoulder.
"Take me to your leader Shannahan."
Pete lightly pushed him through the door.
(Interview Room)
"So what is this information you have for me?"
Jack sat down.
"Jonas Hansen has Sam."
"That name sounds familiar."
"Jonas is Sams ex-fiance. He's been stalking her lately. He was most likely the one who hurt Graham Simmons and is the one who has Sam."
Pete sat down opposite Jack.
"What makes you so sure?"
"The guy is a psycho and something this girl Anise said made me think that Jonas had her."
"Who's Anise?"
"Anise Freya. She followed me here. Like Jonas is obsessed with Sam, Anise is obsessed with me."
Pete smiled.
"She's obsessed with you?"
"She left where i used to live to be closer to me down here. We only dated on and off for 3 months."
"What makes you think she's in co-operation with this Hansen?"
"She said to me the psycho she's with might snap at any moment."
"Doesn't necessarily mean it's Hansen."
Jack laughed a emotionless laugh.
"You just don't get it do you? This guy used to hit her. He came back around the same time Anise came back and he's been stalking her ever since."
"Say this is the guy.."
"It is!"
"We'd be putting Sam in danger."
"We're putting Sam in danger if we don't do anything."
Pete leaned back in his chair, collecting his thoughts. Jack leaned forward.
"Are you going to follow the rulebook and only note down this information or are you going to chuck the rulebook and check it out?"
Pete looked at him.
"This is the only lead you have. Just check it out. If im wrong i'll admit to wasting police time or whatever you want me to do but check it out."
Pete stood up.
"Give me thirty minutes to look this Hansen up and get a small team together."
"Im coming."
"You're not a cop."
Jack stood up.
"My father has been training me the air force way ever since i was eight years old. Either take me with you or i'll find my own way."
"Go wait at reception."
(Reception)
Daniel stood as Jack walked through the doors.
"What's happening?"
"Im going with them to check this lead out. Another team is going to pick Anise up and question her."
Janet looked puzzled.
"Anise? What has she got to do with all this?"
"It's a long story. Daniel will explain later."
Pete speeded through the doors.
"We've got an address."
"Yes!"
"You're riding with me."
"You"
"Yeah. Look, if you want to come along you're going to have to follow my rules."
Jack looked at the floor.
"You persuaded me to follow this, now don't you dare pull out."
Jack grabbed his jacket.
"Lets go."
Jack walked behind Pete and turned and looked at Daniel and Janet by the double door entrance.
"I'll find her."
