Chapter 4

Six months. It had been six long months since Jason had come back. Six months since he or Emma had heard a single word from Robin.

They had been too late – the clinic was cleared out before they could get to Robin. It was torturing him, not knowing if she was ok. Was she getting her medication? Was she healthy? Were they treating her well?

Did she know he was looking for her? This isn't like before – he knew she was alive and would stop at nothing to get her back. He wasn't alone either. Jason, Sam, Mac and Anna had been with him every step of the way. Jason was taking off following any little lead that came up. Sam was doing research with Spinelli and Mac helped protect Emma. Anna was constantly in contact with former and current WSB agents and brought them one of the most important leads they had.

Victor was no longer head of the WSB. He had a brief tenure but once he got Robin he resigned and went into hiding.

Patrick's phone suddenly rang. "Jason?"

"It's Sam. I think we found her." Sam had gone with Jason on this trip to the tropics, following up on a lead Sonny had received.

Patrick took down the information and called Nikolas to get his jet ready to go. From the moment Nikolas heard what Victor had done he had offered Patrick anything he needed to find Robin. Next he called Anna and told her he would meet her at the plane in an hour. Finally, he called Mac and asked him to take Emma for a few days. He knew Mac would keep her safe.

An hour later, after dropping off his little girl, he and Anna sat on the tarmac ready to take off. He kissed his wedding ring and looked at a picture of Robin and Emma. "You're coming home. You are coming home and I will never lose you again."

Jason and Sam were waiting at the airport when they arrived.

"It's a small island about 2 miles off the coast." Jason explained. "We have a boat ready to go but we need to wait for sunset. We try to go out there during the day and we will get shot."

Patrick hated waiting but he knew deep down that Jason was right. The important thing was to get her home, safe and sound. Just knowing that he was so close to her was painful. He prayed that this wasn't another false lead, there had already been too many. He didn't know if he could take it.

"We are going to get her back. I know it." Anna was hopeful this time. Jason had never asked her and Patrick to join them. She knew how scared her son-in-law was and she wanted to reassure him. "Our girl is strong. Once she knows the truth, that she is in no way responsible for Gabriel's death, she will be so relieved. Patrick, we are going to bring her home tonight. End of story."

Patrick smiled but he just couldn't be as sure. Between Robin's first kidnapping and the mind games Jerry had been playing with her, Patrick knew that she had a long recovery ahead of her. But he would be there every step of the way. One way or another they would get through it and come out as a family, stronger than ever.

It was almost pitch black by the time they arrived at the island. Climbing out of the boat, Jason and Anna quickly lead the way to the complex where Robin was being held. It was two stories and looked like it was office building. They all had weapons, even Patrick. For the past six months he had been training with Anna to be prepared when the time came to rescue Robin. He would not hesitate to use his gun if necessary. He had sworn to save lives but this was different. Robin was all that mattered. She deserved to go home and be with her daughter. She deserved to have more than 5 minutes of happiness.

The group split up once they reached the front door. Patrick and Sam took the front while Anna and Jason split off to cover each side and to meet up in the back. Security was seemingly almost nonexistent. Sam took the first floor and Patrick took the stairs to the second floor.

Walking down the corridor, Patrick realized it was a hospital. It was empty of patients, but still full of medical equipment that Patrick knew well and could use to defend himself, if necessary. It was strange but this helped Patrick relax. Sure, he had a gun but he preferred to not use it. He walked down the hall, looking in every room. He was near the end of the hall when he came across a room with someone in it. He could hear the beep, beep, beep of a machine monitoring a heartbeat. He opened the door and was shocked by what he saw.

"Robin?"

He ran to his wife's bedside. "Oh my God, what have they done to you?" Tears filled his eyes.

"I didn't do this to her, Patty boy. You did." Patrick turned to see Jerry Jacks and several armed guards standing in the doorway. He lunged at Jerry but was held back by the guards.

"Tsk, tsk. Do you really want to risk hurting my little bird? I would hate for a gun to go off and hurt her."

The guards let him go. Patrick turned around and looked at Robin. She looked so frail and tiny. She was pale, he skin a stark contrast to her dark hair. He walked over and sat down by her, taking her tiny hand in his. Still a perfect fit. He stroked her hair and kissed her forehead. He heard a commotion behind him.

"Let me go!" Sam was screaming at another guard with Jason and Anna close behind.

"Quite a little reunion we have going on here, right Patty boy."

Anna rushed over to her daughter with tears in her eyes. "What is wrong with her?"

"I can explain. Just give me one moment." Jerry picked up his phone, "Please bring him in."

A moment later a nurse came in carrying a three-month old little boy. "Let me introduce you to Baby Boy Scorpio-Drake."
