Chapter 17

Location-Greystone

"Michael was with Milo!" Carly said, her voice frantic

"Someone busted in your house and kidnapped them?" Jason asked

Sonny broke in " I let Milo take Michael to the mall."

Mac said, "Let's stay calm for now. There was no evidence Michael had ever been in that alley. We are searching all surrounding buildings and structures."

Jason knew that meant dumpsters and abandoned cars where a body could be discarded.

Every second of the last time Michael was kidnaped hit Jason like a freight train.

He walked over to Carly, Morgan was holding her hand, Jason took the other hand, softly he said "I'll find him. You take Morgan and go where I told you."

"I have questions for both of you!" Mac said

The cops had never been able to go into the places in Jason's world that Jason could. They couldn't bring Michael home the last time. Neither Jason or Carly would count on them now.

"Daddy, where's Michael?" Morgan said, looking at Sonny.

"He'll be home soon, son." Sonny said, in a strained voice. He finally tucked in his shirt, then ran his hand threw his hair.

Carly was falling apart inside, Jason saw it on her face, she said "I'll come with you. I have to be doing something, Jase! I can't sit around while my son is missing! And Milo... oh god, poor Max is out in the car waiting for me with Leticia."

Jason shook his head. He gave her an unyielding glare. "Go now, Carly. I will come and tell Max myself when I can. He needs to keep his head about him right now."

"Jason, you aren't running things here." Mac said

"This has gone beyond what you can control."

"You think we're going to wait on you to find Michael? I'll find him myself before you find your way out of this house." Sonny said, angrily.

"Corinthos, I have two dead bodies and one missing child and it's not even sunset yet." Mac said "Will this town even be standing tomorrow morning? I'm taking you both in to avoid any more bloodshed."

Jason blocked him out, his eyes stayed on Carly. She was freaking out, trying to form a plan, he could see it in her eyes.

"Carly, trust me to find Michael." Jason whispered.

She fell into his arms, clutching Jason tightly.

Morgan started to cry when he saw tears on his mothers face, "I want my brother!"

"Bring him back to us." Carly said into Jason's ear.

Then, gathering her strength, she let go and bent down and said, "Morgan, remember I told you we are playing the game called hiding from the world?

Well, it's our turn to hide and Uncle Jason's turn to seek. He is going to find Michael and then find us. Okay, kid?"

Morgan nodded and allowed Carly to lead him out to the car.

Mac said, " We need to establish what time the child went missing."

Jason said to Sonny, "You handle that." Then Jason was out the door and onto his bike.

Anger mixed with the fear raced through him. Michael was supposed to stay inside surrounded by guards. This wasn't supposed to happen.

Not again! We we're so close to being free of this, Jason thought Hold on, Michael. I'm coming.

One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul

from harm...

like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm...

As long as one heart

still holds on.


Then hope is never really gone.
