Willow woke up slowly. Looking around groggily she tried to remember what had happened. "OW!" She gasped. Reaching up to touch her neck gingerly she winced. A pair of handcuffs stopped her movement. Slowly realizing that whoever had done this knew she was dangerous she sighed. She was hand cuffed to a uncomfortable metal chair. Looking at her feet she saw that they too were bound. Shaking the fog out of her mind she took in the fact that who ever had hit her with that dart meant business. Still feeling the effects of that dart Willow passed out again trying to figure out where she was and why.

RJ paced the floor waiting for Willow. She was supposed to be here an hour ago! It was so unlike her to be late. Especially since she had called him to set up the meeting. She usually just stopped by so the fact that she called to meet him meant that she really needed to see him.

He waited another 10 minutes and then worried he went to see John. He didn't like John McBain but John cared about Willow as much as he did. As he was leaving the club RJ noticed a young man hanging around. Yelling, "Hey no loitering," at the man RJ got in his car and headed to see John McBain.

John was reading a file when RJ slammed into his office.

"Willow is missing!" RJ stated bluntly. When John just stared at him in shock he bit back an expletive. "Well, go look for her! That's your job isn't it?" He demanded.

"What do you mean Willow is missing?" John asked finally. Thinking RJ was over reacting he was shocked when Rex rushed into the office.

"John, Willow is gone! She didn't come home last night and she still hasn't checked in this morning! I tried to call her but it goes right to voice mail!" Rex said frantically. Willow never stayed away this long with out at least calling him. Looking at RJ he asked, " What are you doing here?"

"Same thing as you. Willow called me last night to meet her. When she didn't show up I came here. You know Willow always shows up when she says she will." RJ stated looking at John, expecting him to call out the troops.

"What did she want to talk to you about?" John asked. "Where was she when she called you?"

"She didn't tell me where she was but she used her cell phone. As to what she wanted to talk about she didn't say but I suspect it had to do with the Manning case." RJ said.

"Why would you think that?" Both John and Rex asked.

"Like I just said she didn't tell me why she wanted to talk to me. Because she knows I don't like Todd and would need convincing to help her." RJ replied.

John called her phone to make sure she wasn't answering and sure enough it went straight to voice mail. He called all the places she generally hung out. The firing range, Rodi's, the gym, he even called her office in New York to see if anyone had seen her. No one had. John was getting increasingly worried. Calling Natalie on her cell, she had the day off and was going to visit her mother, he was even more worried when she didn't pick her phone either.

John looked at Rex, "Have you seen Natalie this morning?"

Rex looked shocked, "No, we are supposed to have lunch later. Why?"

"She isn't answering her phone either and Vicki said she never showed up at Llanfair." John said. It was just too much of a coincidence for both women to turn up missing. Something was definitely wrong here. He called Bo and told him what was going on.

Willow woke up again, her head throbbing, when the door of the room she was in swung open and someone was thrust into the room. Looking over at the person who was shoved into the room Willow was shocked to see that it was Natalie.

"Natalie!" Willow said loudly.

Natalie looked up from the floor where she had been thrown and gasped in shock. "Willow? What's going on?" The door slammed shut and both women could hear arguing from the room beyond the door.

"I don't know what's going on. I was at Llantano Lake last night and I got shot with a tranquilizer dart. Then next thing I know I'm waking up here. I haven't seen anyone since you got here. What happened to you?" Willow said not understanding why they had been taken.

"Well I was going over to Llanfair. When I got out of my car someone grabbed me and put something over my mouth. I bit them on the hand but I got a mouth full of something. Well anyway the guy pulled his hand back but it was too late and I passed out. The next thing I know I'm here. With you." Natalie explained. "I didn't see who it was or anything though."

"Where are we?" Willow asked. Tugging on the cuffs that held her to the chair she had been placed in. "Who ever did this knows I'm dangerous. But I guess they don't know about you." She said with a slight smile. Natalie had been learning martial arts for months now. She was pretty good though she only wanted to learn defensive and disarming moves. Natalie had said she wanted to know how to defend her self not learn to kill people.

Natalie laughed a little at that. "Has anyone come in since you have been here?"

"Not that I am aware of but I have been out a while because of the dart." Willow said starting to feel nauseous. "I don't feel so good right now."

"What's the matter?" Natalie said getting to her feet quickly and running to her.

"I think that I'm having a reaction to what ever was on that dart!" She said fighting the urge to vomit. "I have had the flu all week and this isn't helping."

"You too?" Natalie said. "I thought I had the flu too. But the Dr said that it wasn't."

"What did you have?" Willow asked becoming distracted from her queasy stomach.

"Well I don't know that I should tell you yet since I haven't even told John yet but.."

"Come on tell me! I'm handcuffed to a chair and have been kidnapped I need some good news right about now." Willow begged good-naturedly. Desperately trying to keep her mind off her stomach she was willing to try anything.

"I'm pregnant!" Natalie said happily. She was also trying to find a way to not feel so down and depressed. Besides she was so excited about the baby. "Oh my god! What if whatever they gave me hurts my baby?" Natalie suddenly exclaimed touching her stomach in a protective gesture.

"I don't think it will. It was probably ether that they used to knock you out with. That's pretty much harmless to babies." Willow said trying to reassure her. "Do you think you could unlock these cuffs?" She asked trying to distract Natalie now that her nausea had passed.

"Sure if I had a key or something to pick the lock with." Natalie said momentarily distracted from her fears. She was glad to have something to focus on, plus they really needed to get out of here. John couldn't always come to rescue them.

"In my left boot." Willow said. Glad that Natalie had her hands free she moved her foot slightly.

"What?" Natalie asked confused.

"A key. It's in my left boot." Willow grinned at her. "I always carry one with me."

"It figures," Natalie said. Willow was nothing if not resourceful and prepared. Getting the key she unlocked the cuffs holding her wrists and legs.

As Natalie helped Willow to stand the door opened and a young good-looking man stepped in holding a gun. His dark hair was matted to his head as if he had just woken up. Holding the gun in a trembling hand he motioned for them to back away to the far wall.

"You!" Natalie said recognizing the man.
