John was woke up the next morning by Natalie's scream of fright. As he sat up quickly, his hand reaching under his pillow for his gun, he looked over to Natalie. She was staring at the foot of the bed in terror. Looking down to where she was staring he saw that there were 3 men standing at the foot of the bed.

"What the hell?..." John said.

Natalie sat straighter, "What the hell is going on Cris?" She said speaking to the man in the middle.

"Did you think I would let you go that easily? I had hoped to find you before you whored your self out but.." Cris said with a evil grin and a shrug.

At that slur John pulled out his gun and pointed it at Cris. "Get out you bastard! How did you even get in here. I have an alarm!"

Cris nodded at his compainions and they inturn whipped out guns of their own, pointing them at Natalie instead of John. "Put your gun down McBain or I'll just shot Natalie and let you watch her die." Cris said with a smirk, "and to answer your guestion I bought the code. There isn't much you can't buy these days."

"You bastard! I can't believe I loved you!" Natalie spat at him clutching the sheet around her breasts.

Cris just looked at her coldly. "Get dressed," he said "Your coming with me."

Natalie shook her head, "No, I am not going anywhere with you!"

Cris's eyes narrowed in anger, "Fine you don't want to come with me," he said nodding to his goons, "I'll just have them shoot McBain and then I'll beat you to death." The 2 goons shifted their aim to John who had dropped his gun when Cris threatened to shoot Natalie.

"NO! Leave him alone. he didn't do anything to you. I'll go with you." Natalie said frantically. Looking over at John she said helplessly, " I have to go with him."

"Natalie," John whispered. He couldn't lose her. Not now not when he had just found her. "No, please don't." He said softly.

Cris walked over to the side of the bed and grabbed Natalie's arm. As he dragged Natalie out of the bed, "John... I love you."

John went to lunge at Cris and one of the goons hit him in the back of the head knocking him out.

"John!" Natalie yelled. Turning around she began pounding on Cris's chest "No, you bastard! I hate you! John! John!" she cried.

Cris pushed her away roughly and slapped her hard across the face. "Stop it you bitch. Put your clothes on! We are leaving." Picking up her clothes he threw them at her.

Natalie fell back on the bed and screamed when he hit her. Holding the side of her face Natalie looked at him in fear. His face was twisted into a vicious snarl and he looked prepared to hit her again. "Ok, I'll go just promise you won't hurt him! Please!" Natalie begged.

Cris laughed snidely, "I won't hurt him if you come quietly. You won't ever see this scum again anyway."

Natalie dressed quickly looking frequently at John hoping he would wake up and save her. She finished getting dressed and Cris dragged her out of the room and out of John's house. Crying softly Natalie begged Cris to let her go. "Please, Cris if you ever loved me just let me go."

Cris looked over at her and laughed, "Your my wife. You belong to me. I will never let you go. your mine!" Grabbing the back of her head he forced her head up and kissed her roughly. Forcing his tongue into her mouth.

Natalie gagged at his violent kiss. There was no love in it. Just lust and possession. Natalie felt sick to her stomach she tried to turn her head away but Cris wouldn't let her. When he finally let her go he was breathing heavily. "You're mine," he said again before shoving her into the car and speeding off.

Natalie looked out the back window watching as John got farther and farther away. When his apartment was out of sight she began to sob. She didn't know what she would do with out John he was her life now.

John woke up slowly. Holding the back of his head he couldn't remember what happened. Sitting up he suddenly remembered. "Natalie," he said in a tormented whisper. "I'll find you I promise!" he vowed.

Jumping out of bed John quickly dressed and then called the last person he would ever have thought he would.

"Hello?"

"Bo!" John said "Natalie has been taken!"

"John? John McBain? Is that you?" Bo said. "Natalie? what about Natalie. How do you know Natalie? Where is she?" Bo said

John sighed he had known this would be a problem."Bo...BO just listen! Yes this is John McBain. Cris took her, he took Natalie. He knocked me out and took her. We need to find her!"

"Cris? Just what the hell is going on? Where are you? You back in AC?" Bo asked, confused but extremely worried by John's frantic tone.

John sighed and began to explain the situation. He told Bo about Natalie and Cris's relationship and how he had come to met her. He didn't come right out and say it but Bo could tell that John was in love with his niece. "I'll put out an APB on them John. We will find her!" Bo promised before breaking the connection.

John was worried that Cris would beat up Natalie in retaliation for leaving him.Natalie was his life, his love and he didn't think he could survive if anything should happen to her. She was the best thing that had ever happened to him and he would be damned if he would let that woman beating psycho Cris take her from him. John needed her in his life and he would risk anything to save her.

John got his stuff together and headed for his car. He knew that Cris would probably bring her back to Llanview and that was where he was headed. John got into his car and sped off toward Llanview at 100 mph praying that he would reach Natalie in time.
