Chapter six- Rescues and Tricks.

It was eleven o'clock when Samantha decided to put her plan into action. She knew everyone would be downstairs dicussing a plan to rescue Jonathan from the men who have him, so they'll be too busy to find her missing. Getting out of her bed, she went over to her wardrobe and picked out suitable rescue clothing, which was black trousers, a dark blue shirt and a dark brown jacket. After getting dressed, Sam walked over to the door to listen out for any noises coming from upstairs. There was nothing but silence, which pleased her.

Trying not to make much noise, Sam walked back over to her bed and reached under her pillow, until she felt a lump of metal attached to a small chain. Sam pulled it out and looked at it in the light, the fake golden pendent in her hand was prefect, gleaming and looking powerful. Putting it in her pockets, she pulled the real one out of the other pocket and lay it on the bed. Finding a piece of paper and a pen on a desk in her room, she write down a quick note, folded it up and placed it next to the real pendent.

She quickly found her dagger and put that in an empty pocket, knowing she would need it later. Sam then walked over to the window with the oak tree branch sticking out to it. Taking one last look at her room, Sam started out the window, remember to shut it when she was safely on the thick branch. She then climbed down slowly and got on the ground safely, then started off down the driveway. Getting to the gate, she turned around and gave the manor one last look. 'Sorry guys, but I can't just sit here while my dad is in trouble. I know you'll come to help us though after you've read that note' and with that thought, she took of to the Tower of London, hoping that her plan will buy her family time for a plan.

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

Rick, Evy, Ardeth (Just arrived back from his fellow Mad-Jai) and even Alex (He was allowed to stay up in this state of emergency, in case he had a good idea) was sitting in the living room, planning on how to get Jon back. So far, they had nothing except Rick's plan of going to the exchange point with guns blazing, grabbing Jonathan and getting the hell out of there, but that plan came up short by the counter argument by Evy of "Jonathan or anyone from the family might get hurt from the crossfire".

Alex's head started drooping and his eyelids were heavy, then he was out like a light, lying down on one of the empty couchs. Rick and Ardeth were deep in conversation, so they didn't hear Evy say she was going upstairs to check on her niece. Upon entering the door, Evy remembered her manners and knocked first "Sam, it's Evy. I'm sorry for before for not letting you go to that exchange spot on your own, I hope we're forgiven?" No answer "Samantha? I know you're upset and angry, but we're thinking up a great plan to get Jon back, so why don't you come downstairs and listen to what we've come up with?" Still no answer "Sam?"

Evy opened the door and saw nothing. The bed was empty, with what looked like the pendent on it with a piece of paper next to it. The window, though closed, was still a little bit open and a slight breeze was flowing in the room. The ever present dagger that usually resides on the bedside table was missing as well as it's owner. Her hand trembling, Evy reached over to the note by the pendent and started reading it:

Dear Everyone,

I can't just sit around in my room waiting, while my dad is out there in trouble, or even wrose hurt. I am going to the exchange point by the Tower of London. If you guys want to help, then meet us near the tower at five minutes past midnight, because the exchange is at midnight. But, I have taken precautions, the pendent next to this note is real. I went into town a couple of hours ago to see a very good jewellery-fakers and had a fake pendent done for the exchange. I just hope that they don't know it's fake until I get my father out safely. If anything happens to me, do all you can to get dad out of there and don't let them get the real thing.

Love Samantha.

"RICK" Evy shouted racing down the stairs towards the living room "RICK" This made Rick, Ardeth and Alex, who was currently asleep, jump out their skins. "Evy, what's wrong? Where's Sam?" His wife just handed him the note she found and when he finish, he handed it to Ardeth with a look of anger on his face "How dare she just go like that without telling us, I mean she could get hurt and if her plan dosen't work, she could get herself and Jonathan killed. Come on, we better go after her"

He was stopped by Evy "What about Alex? Should he come with us in the circumstances?" Looking over at his son, he sighed and said plainly "Well, we can't leave him here by himself, can we? Come on son, get in the car with Ardeth and wait for us there" Alex nodded and followed the Med- Jai leader out of the room and the manor. Turning back to his wife, Rick down into her blue eyes and gave her a long slow kiss. When they parted, Evy looked him in the eyes and started leading him out to the car "Now let's go save Jon and Sam".

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

Inside the bedroom, Jonathan was still lying on the bed next to Sarah, stroking her hair. He couldn't belive it, he finally found a woman who he loved, and who loved him in return. What was a childhood crush turned into a proper romance now, but he remembered what Samantha said:

Flashback+

"If you do love her, I'm all for you loving her. But, make sure she knows that if she loves you, she loves your daughter too because we are a package deal, never to leave each other. Am I right?"

Jon looked down at Sam, taken by surprise. Her words filled him with happiness.

'Could this mean Sam might be ready to accept another female authority figure in his life?'

Jon could not stop the big grin spreading across his handsome face.

Stepping into Sam's personal space, no longer as hesitant to show her affection, Jon beamed.

"Right, Samantha. I would never leave you alone. Not even for a woman." He grinned boyishly, a sparkle in his eyes Sam realized she seldom ever saw.

"You will live with me as long as you wish, no matter who I'm with or where I go."

End flashback+

He was so caught up in his thoughts, that he didn't hear the door open and saw Steve hovering over him. Startled, Jon gave a surprized yelp which woke up his new love, who looked up at her brother with new fear in her eyes "Time to go, Jonny boy. Let's get that pendent from your daughter, if you want to see her alive again that is" He got Jonathan shirt front and pulled him up, so forcefully Jon fell forwards on to the wooden floor hard, causing pain in his already hurt ribs. Steve then picked him up by the back of his jacket, pulled him up once more and pushed him towards two large thugs waiting at the door "Hang on to him outside the house and don't let him go, unless you don't treasure your lives anymore" They nodded and dragged the stuggling Carnahan downstairs. The sound of a fist making contact with flesh was heard and there was no more sounds of struggling.

Grinning, Steve turned to his sister and grabbed her arm, hard "You see, my plan is coming together prefectly and you can't even stop me" He let go of her arm, which had a bruise showing on it "Lock her in and make sure she dosen't escape. So long, sister. If this exchange goes well, you might see Jon and his daughter at the same time and then the fun begins" He walked out the door, leaving his sister on the bed, sobbing hard. She heard the lock click in the door and sobbed harder.

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

Samantha waited by a lamp-post at the corner near the Tower of London. It was midnight now and there was no show of the kidnappers or her father. She was about to give up and go home to get the others to help, when a noise coming from the driveway of a house startled her. She watched as Jonathan was being dragged by two of the kidnappers, putting up a good struggle.

"Dad, you're alright" Sam then heard a laughter coming frombehind the two thugs and out walked Steve, with a gun trained on Jonathan. "Give me the pendent and no-one gets hurt. Bring it forwards and place it on the ground when I say" Jon stopped struggling and yelled at his daughter "Don't do it Sam. Run, get help-" He was silenced once more by a gun being struck across his face. Sam felt pure rage flow though her body at this sight, but decided to do what he says. Slowly, she walked forwards, her eyes never leaving her dad's face, which was now starting to bleed from a nasty gash across his cheek in the middle of a nasty bruise "Put it down there and wait for Carnahan"

She did as she was told, not wanting Jonathan to be hurt anymore. Steve motioned one of the thugs to take Jon over to her, which he did. When Sam finally got a hold of her father, she hugged him feriously and wouldn't let him go in case they changed their minds. The guard then picked up the pendent and took it over to his boss "Very nice. Now if you don't mind, my boys here will take you and your father inside"

Sam gathered Jonathan around her arms and pulled him up without taking her gaze from Steve, wincing when she heard a gasp of pain coming from him. She put one of his arms around his shoulders and started backing up from the forwarding thugs "Dad, you strong enough to run?" She heard a moan then "I think so, why?" Still watching Steve and his gang walking slowly towards them, Sam just plainly said "Because when I give the word, we run like hell. Ready, Run" And with that they let go of each other, but keep close as they ran past the tower. Steve was livid "Get them, don't let them get away, unless you want to be in their places"

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

Everyone inside Rick's car was nearing the exchange point when they saw a gang of three large men take off behind a man and a young lady "Rick, that must be them. Quick, before they catch them" Evy shouted, worry and relief in her voice, both at seeing her brother and niece safe, but in trouble again. Rick slammed his foot down on the accelerator and speed of after them.

Sma and Jon ran until they found themselves at a dead end. Turning round, they saw the three gang members closing in on them and held each other. Just when hope seemed lost, they heard the screeching of tyres and saw the thugs move out the way as a car came streaming though them. The car screeched more when the brakes were put on and it skidded to the side in front of the two Carnahans. The back door opened to reveal people that Sam and Jonathan were glad to see.

"Get in you two. Quick" Evy shouted. They didn't have to be told twice as they stormed in the now cramped back and made seats for themselves. Alex hugged Jon and Samantha hugged Evy, telling Rick to quickly drive off, which he didn't need telling twice to do. The car started revving up again and was off before any of the thugs got a chance to realised what happened. Steve stormed up to them in a fit of rage and whacked each of them in turn with his gun.

"Idiots. We needed them for the rictual, but at least we got the pendent" As he said this, his gun rubbed againest the gold surface of the pendent and left a huge scratch on it. He looked at it in disbelief and felt even more rage though his body "It's a fake. We've been tricked" He started stomping his feet hard on the floor, which actually scared the thugs that were still there. He calmed down after a moment and told them of the new plan he just thought of.

"Listen, that Carnahan fellow has fallen in love with my sister. We can use that to our advantage by forcing him to come to us. His daughter will follow him now she fears for his safety and we will make sure that the pendent will be ours by paying them a home visit. Get my sister ready, we're going to O'Connell manor. I know where it is, no problem"

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

Jonathan's safe... for now that is (grins evilly). What will happen to Sarah now? What about the rest of the family, will they be alright when they're given an home visit? When will we know about when Jon met Sam's mother for the first time and what happened that night? And maybe how he first met Sarah? All this and more answered when I get more reviews. So please, read and review (On knees pleading with puppy-dog pout on face) From chugirl2526.
