"Start talking," Kellie said, as she used her free hand to unhook the IV she was attached to.
"Shouldn't you check with the doctor's before you do that?" Michael asked.
"If I tell you to stay in the hospital," Lorenzo said, "and that I'll keep you posted, will you…"
"My daughter has been kidnapped by a sex trafficker who isn't above sampling the merchandise," Kellie said, "Hell no. How did Garrett get his hands on my daughter?"
"He phoned in a fake threat to the school during recess," Lorenzo said, "causing chaos as they went to get the kids inside. Francis was shot trying to stop him."
"Will Francis make it?" Kellie asked.
"He's on his way to GH now," Lorenzo said, "We don't know. He lost quite a bit of blood."
"I'll head to the police station, call NCIS, " Kellie said, "And ask Spinelli to see what he can find. Will you utilize our resources at the foundation?"
"Already done," Lorenzo said, "I'll meet you at the station."
"How are Jared and Jamie?" Kellie asked.
"Scared for Alyssa," Lorenzo said, "Charles is picking them up. Is Jason coming to the station with you?"
"No," Kellie said, "He's out looking for Carly and Ryan Chamberlain."
"Carly and Ryan Chamberlain?" Lorenzo asked.
"Carly's missing and her last known location was in the garage at General Hospital with Ryan Chamberlain," Kellie said as Monica came in the room hearing the commotion of Kellie getting ready to leave.
"Could this day get any…." Lorenzo started to say, "Never mind I don't want to tempt fate."
"I'm checking myself out," Kellie said, "I'll let you know when I'm headed to the station."
Kellie hung up the phone.
"I'd advise against leaving until you can have that ultrasound," Monica said.
"My daughter's been kidnapped," Kellie said, "Unless you give me an exact time I can have that ultrasound, I'm leaving. You can have some one call me to schedule an appointment."
"We need to do this as soon as we can," Monica said, "Ovarian Cancer isn't something to wait around to treat."
"We both know it's likely late stage at this point," Kellie said, "Right now I can't do anything about it. But I can go try to keep my daughter from becoming a sexual assault victim."
"Can you stop her?" Monica asked Michael.
"No," Michael said, "You can't tell me if it wasn't one of your kids that you wouldn't do the same thing."
"Point taken," Monica said, "You need to stay hydrated and before you go, let me put in a refill for the anti-nausea medication."
"Thank you," Kellie said as Monica left.
"You can change your mind," Michael said.
"Would you?" Kellie asked.
"No," Michael said, "If my son was out there, I do everything I could to find him."
While Kellie waited for the anti-nausea prescription to be filled, she called Jason, The phone went to voice mail. So she left a message.
As Jason was driving with Laura to Niagara Falls to find Carly, Ryan, and Ava, he realized he'd missed Kellie's call. He listened to the voice mail.
"Jason, Garrett kidnapped Alyssa," Jason heard Kellie's voice say, "I told Monica to have the hospital call me with an appointment for the ultrasound. I can't sit around indefinitely with Alyssa missing. I'm meeting Uncle Lo at the police station. We'll talk when you and Carly get home."
Jason could hear Kellie's voice trying not crack.
"Any word on Kellie?" Laura asked.
"No," Jason said, "Alyssa was kidnapped and Kellie checked herself out of the hospital to go the station."
"I want to say I can't believe Valentine had Garrett," Laura said, "but sadly, I can't say I'm surprised looking back. Now your family is paying the price for that. Do you want to go back?"
"Want to yes," Jason said, "Kellie would also read me the riot act."
"She would tell you she could handle herself," Laura said, "That's hard for you isn't it. That she doesn't seem to want or ask for your help."
"Sometimes," Jason said, "I know Kellie's capable. I just don't want her to feel like she has to handle it all herself. She's strong and has the ability to make doing whatever she has to do or endure seem like no big deal. But what most people don't realize is how much things affect her even when she tries not to admit it to herself."
"So you just show up even when she tells you not to," Laura said, "I'm sure she appreciates that more you know."
"Except I'm not there for her right now," Jason said, "But Carly is…."
"Is Kellie really handling this whole situation with her daughter by herself?" Laura asked.
"No," Jason said, "Her uncle is in town, she has her guards. Michael was with her when I left."
"She's not really alone," Laura said.
"No, she's not," Jason said.
"What did Kellie tell you about going after Carly?" Laura asked.
"To go after her," Jason said, "The message she just left assumes I'm bringing Carly back."
"I think your wife has this figured out," Laura said, "And maybe you might want to trust her judgment here. I know it's hard with Kellie not being well, but it seems to me that."
"I can find Carly," Jason said, "Because I'll be able to do whatever it is I need to do for Kellie later. But Carly needs help now."
General Hospital Parking Garage
By the time Kellie got her prescription and she, Michael, and Johnny made it to the garage, Lorenzo was waiting for them.
"I thought you were going to the station," Kellie said.
"I figured I could head over to the station with you," Lorenzo said, "Are you sure you want to?"
"I feel a lot better," Kellie said, "As long I stay hydrated and take the anti-nausea, I should be okay."
"Do the doctors have any ideas?" Lorenzo asked.
Kellie didn't answer and opened the back door to the car, "Let's go."
She climbed in and shut the door.
Lorenzo looked at Michael. Michael looked down as if to say it wasn't good.
"I should head back to work if you've got it from here," Michael said.
"I've got it," Lorenzo said.
Kellie rolled down the window, "Are you two done discussing whatever it is you were discussing?"
"Keep me posted on everything," Michael said, "If you need anything, let me know."
"Thanks, Michael," Kellie said.
Once Lorenzo got in the backseat, he motioned to Johnny to shut the car off.
"What are you doing?" Kellie asked.
'You didn't answer me when I asked if the Doctors had any idea about why you've been sick," Lorenzo said, "I take it they have one."
"Do we really have to do this right now, Uncle Lo?" Kellie said.
"You look like you need to let off steam with a punching bag or cry," Lorenzo said, "Neither of which will go ever well when working with the cops."
"It's bad, Uncle Lo," Kellie said, "They're talking….ovarian cancer. It's usually only ever caught late stage."
"What about other causes," Lorenzo asked.
"Ruled out," Kellie said, "There's nothing I can do at the moment other than find Alyssa."
"You'll beat this," Lorenzo said, "If that is what it is.
They were interrupted by Kellie's phone dinging. Kellie looked at her phone.
"Johnny, we're going to the docks," Kellie said, "I'll tell the police to meet us there."
Kellie showed Lorenzo her phone with a message to find Alyssa at the harbor, "Garrett apparently can't resist gloating."
"We could let the cops handle it," Lorenzo said.
"Only if they get there first," Kellie said, checking to make sure her guns were loaded, "Are you coming with me."
"Let's bring Alyssa home," Lorenzo said.
