Chapter 2

"She arrived safely then?" Robert said, on his cell at the hospital. "Good, let me know if there are any complications." He hung up the phone and headed towards the elevators, when his phone rang.

"Robert Scorpio."

"Robert, its Patrick. Something's happened to Robin and you need to get to her apartment right away," Patrick said, urgently.

"I'll be right there," Robert pounded on the down button, hoping the elevator would magically sense his urgency. Just as I'm making an effort to become close to her, something happens, he thought. Maybe coming back from the dead wasn't the right decision after all.

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

Patrick paced her apartment looking for something, anything that would give him a clue. Judging by the ransacked state of the room, she definitely put up a fight against whoever did this. Who would take her? Who would want to hurt her? Could this be related to Robert and Anna's enemies? Or Sonny and Jason's? Or what if….

A quick knock at the door made Patrick jump. He ran to answer it. It was Robert.

"What happened? Where's Robin?" he demanded.

"I don't know where she is, some one took her," Patrick said with a sigh.

"What do you mean someone took her? What happened to my daughter?"

"When I showed up here about an hour ago, her apartment door was open. I walked in and found her room trashed, splattered with blood. She was gone," he said. "Gone."

Robert stormed into her room and looked around. He shuddered at the sight of the blood on the lamp, knowing it was probably used to knock her out.

"Well by the looks of the room, a pretty serious fight occurred here. And unfortunately Robin was on the losing side," Robert said.

"Who would do this, Robert? Who would take her? Who have you pissed off lately?" Patrick paced the room.

"I don't know, Patrick. I've been out of the spy business for a while. I can't imagine who…wait a minute. I better call Anna. She might know what's going on."

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

"Keep her here," a man ordered. "I'll be back later to check on her and to make arrangements for contact. You better get those cuts cleaned up. Did you get any of her blood on you?"

"No boss, I was careful."

"Good, once she wakes up, you might need to restrain her, but try not to hurt her anymore. She's HIV positive and you don't want to get yourself infected."

"Yes sir."

Robin faintly heard the men speaking. She opened her eyes and became acutely aware of the pain pulsating in her head. There was blood running down her cheek. She tried to focus on the men standing in front of her but the world turned black again.
