Title: Trouble in Paradise

Summary: PJ and Jo have been married for three years now. Some things start going wrong a week before their third anniversary and it looks as thought they are going to split up. And what's worse their four-year-old daughter Noel is being held hostage at her kindergarten. Will they be able to save Noel and their relationship at the same time?

Disclaimer: I own Noel, Saskia, Dylan and Sarah. Everyone else belongs to you know who. If I did own anyone or anything else I'd be a lot happier! Songs are listed at end of fic!

Right well I can't actually remember how many reviews I got…but I'll continue anyways!

Previously…

"Jo…" PJ looked up, tears in his eyes.

"What is it?" Jo was starting to panic.

"It's Noel…the kindy…." He started but the tears stopped him from saying any more.

"Amy what's happened?" Jo asked.

"I'm so sorry Jo." Amy lowered her head.

"Would you just tell me what the fuck is going on?" Jo screamed. PJ looked up. Jo never swore unless she was really pissed off. Even then it was very rarely.

"There is something you should see." Amy motioned towards the computer screen sitting in front of PJ.

"What is it?" Jo's face turned white when she saw what was on the screen.

There was a man in a balaclava holding onto Noel and Saskia. He had a gun pointed to their heads and the girls were crying.

"Mummy!" Noel screamed.

"No…this can't be happening." Jo turned to PJ. "This is all your fault. If you hadn't have left it so late to leave…then she would have been safe here with me!" Jo screamed. She started hitting him. PJ grabbed Jo and wrapped her in his arms.

"It's going to be okay Joey. We'll get her back. Tom's called in every favour possible to get the best team of officers down here. They are going to get Noel and those other kids out safely." PJ re assured Jo. She was white and her whole body was shaking. PJ pulled her onto his lap and held her tight. "We'll get her back. You'll see."

"PJ!" Amy cried. "You'd better come here."

"What is it?" Both PJ and Jo rushed to Amy's side.

"We just got a call from Sarah, one of the carers at the Kindy."

"And?"

"Well there's been a change. It seems that whoever this guy is has left the kindy…"

"That's good right. That means we can get Noel back?" Jo looked at PJ with tears in her eyes.

"Well unfortunately, he's taken two of the children with him."

"What? Who's he taken?" Jo panicked.

"He's taken Noel." Amy lowered her head. "Sarah said that he grabbed Noel and the girl she was with, Saskia Owens, wouldn't let go of Noel so he took them both.

"Oh God!" Jo cried. She rushed away from them and into the bathroom where she threw up. She curled up in a ball against the wall and burst into tears.

"Jo?" Susie said quietly as she knocked on the door. When Jo didn't respond Susie pushed the door open. "Oh Jo." She rushed over and sat beside her friend.

"Why is this happening Susie? What did I do to deserve this?"

"It's alright Jo. We'll get her back."

"What if he hurts her...or worse…kills her. I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to her." Jo cried. "And what about that other little girl…Saskia…what would her parents think when they find out their little girl was killed because of me!"

"Jo this isn't your fault. Nobody knew this was going to happen."

"It is my fault Susie…he knows…he knows and it's all my fault…if I didn't leave then none of this would ever have happened…"

"Jo Shh…it's ok." Susie kissed Jo's forehead. "Hey how about I get you some tea?" Susie offered.

Jo nodded.

"Ok I'll let you clean yourself up. I'll be back in a minute." Susie helped Jo up then left the room. She walked out to the main office.

"How is she?" PJ asked.

"She's a mess PJ. She's not even talking sense anymore."

"What do you mean?" Amy asked. "What did she say?"

"I don't know…she was saying something about how it's her fault and that she shouldn't have left. And she kept saying 'he knows' whatever that means."

"'He knows'" PJ repeated. "He who?"

"I don't know."

"Do you think maybe Jo recognises the man who's taken the girls?" Amy suggested.

"That's ridiculous." PJ cried. "How could you accuse her of that?"

"I'm not accusing her of anything PJ calm down."

"Guys…I think we just got another email!" Jonesy cried.

Everyone rushed towards the computer that Jonesy was sitting at.

"Open it up." PJ demanded. The group crowded around and they were too busy watching the screen to notice Jo come up behind them.

"It's another video." Jonesy explained and he clicked the play button.

"Why hello there…pigs." The man smirked. "I think I've got something that belongs to you." He stepped away from the screen and PJ gasped when he saw the screen. Noel and Saskia were tied up together and were blindfolded and gagged. They could hear muffled cries coming from the two little girls.

"Now…I'm not into hurting little kids so I'm willing to make a deal. I've got something you want." He pointed to the kids. "And you've got something I want."

"What could he possibly want that we've got?" PJ asked.

"Me!" Jo said suddenly.

"What?" They all looked at her.

"He wants me." Jo repeated. PJ stepped towards her

"Jo don't be ridiculous. Why would he want you? He doesn't even know you." He grabbed her hands but she pulled them back.

"Unfortunately he does." Jo replied.

"What? Who is he and how do you know him?" PJ asked.

"His name is Jeremiah Heath. And…he's my ex-husband."

Dun dun dun! Well there you go…ah I love cliffhangers…I know this is really short chappie…but I'm in a hurry. I'm about to head off the the show…Yey cant wait…all those sideshows…soo much fun.

Well anyways…please tell me what you think…

Luv Jess! (The Freak)
