Audrey collapsed against the bathroom door and cried. Noah was different than any other guy that she had ever met. She wanted to get to know him. Even if nothing romantic ever happened between them she at least wanted his friendship. But her biological father stood in her way, just like her step-father once had. He would never let her date anyone because he would get jealous. She wasn't sure how long she cried but she eventually pulled herself together and got into the shower.
Noah and Jason stood downstairs taking in everything that had just happened. Instead of talking about it though they got right to business. There was a new threat lurking around and Jason wanted to take care of them before they found out about Audrey. Besides he had more important matters to get to; like her stepfather. He was going to take care of him and make sure he never hurt anyone again. Noah left to get to work on where the threat was coming from. Jason composed himself before walking upstairs to try and talk to Audrey.
He got to the bathroom and heard the shower running. He decided to wait until later before they talked. He instead decided to run to Kelly's and get them something to eat. Sam agreed to let them have dinner alone tonight to try and work some stuff out and he wanted it to be ready by the time she got out of the shower. He went downstairs and wrote her a note before heading to the diner.
She got out of the shower and walked downstairs. She walked into the kitchen and found no one. She walked to the desk and found Jason's note. She let out a cynical laugh about them having a family dinner before she threw the note away. Just as she's about to go back upstairs someone knocks on the door. "I wonder where Marco is." She shrugged it off and went to open the door. She didn't recognize the man standing on the other side and he gave her an uneasy feeling. "Who are you?" The man didn't answer so she shut the door. She walked to the desk, forgetting to lock the door, and picked up her cell phone. Just as she was getting ready to call Jason the man burst through the door and grabbed her from behind. She struggled as he put a drugged cloth over her mouth. She dropped her cell phone as the drug overtook her and the man dragged her out of the building unnoticed.
She woke up a while later in a dark, cold room. "Hello? Is anywhere here? Where the hell am I?" A man walked in a moment later with a sick grin on his face. He wasn't the same man that grabbed her. She had never seen this man before. "Ah Miss Morgan, how nice of you to wake up. I've been waiting to talk to you." "Who are you? What do you want from me?" "I needed to get your father's attention. You were the fastest way to get it." "Why do you people kidnap families to get what you want? Can't you be original for a change?" "Don't worry, I'll be original. Because you see this time, Jason won't see his daughter alive again. Is that original enough for you?" He let out an evil laugh before walking out of the room. Audrey, for the first time in her life, was truly scared.
Jason walked into the elevator after going to Kelly's. He didn't know what she wanted to dinner so he ordered one of everything. She could pick whatever she wanted and then he could give the rest to the guards. The elevator dinged at his floor as he stepped out. He turned to go into his penthouse when he noticed his door ajar. There was also no guard at the door. He took out his gun and pushed the door open. He looked around and realized it was empty. That's when he looked down and saw Audrey's cell phone on the ground. He picked it up and looked at it and saw that she was getting ready to call him.
"Damn it! Marco!" It took a few minutes before the guard finally strolled through the door. "Yeah, boss?" "Did you see Audrey leave?" "No, sir." "Then why isn't she here and why is her cell phone on the floor?" "Find her. Check her dorm, the campus, anywhere she might be. There's a new threat in town and I don't want him to get Audrey." "I'm on it." Marco left and Jason threw the first glass thing that he touched. He knew something like this was going to happen.
Audrey was trying desperately to get out of the ropes that were around her wrists. She was so busy she didn't even notice the door open. She heard it close and looked up. "My dad is gonna find me and then he's going to kill you." The man laughed. "I heard you were feisty but no one told me you were naïve. Jason won't get to you in time." "Well, I heard that Jason has never failed when he was looking for someone he loved. He won't give up on me until I'm home." "That's cute. It's good to be positive. It'll be more enjoyable for me to watch you slowly lose hope." "You're a sick bastard!" "Now, now there's no need for name calling Audrey. You should be nice to me. I am the one in charge of your fate." He smiled at her before leaving her alone again. Audrey screamed. "Let me out of here! Jason please hurry."
Noah ran into Harborview Towers as quickly as he could. His heart stopped as soon as he heard about Audrey. He wanted to help in any way he could to bring her home. He opted for the stairs instead of the elevator and ran up the flights of stairs until he got to Jason's floor. "Jason, I came as quickly as I could. What's going on?" "Audrey was taken out of the penthouse. We need to find her now!" "How did they get her out of here without a guard noticing?" "They created a distraction and when the guards were gone they grabbed her. She dropped her phone. Do you see now why I don't want her involved with you?" "We can't think about that now. Who's the new guy in town? What do we know about him?" "He came from Miami, wants territory, the usual. Although I've heard he doesn't keep his victims alive very long so we have to find her soon. I just found her, Noah; I'm not ready to lose her yet." "We'll find her."
Audrey looked around the room she was in. There were no lights, no windows, and only one door. She didn't know what she was going to do but she needed to get untied first. "Okay, Audrey, you can do it. Just calm down and untie the ropes." "That wouldn't be a very good idea." "I can't escape just because my hands aren't tied behind my back. This is inhumane!" "Exactly, see that's the beauty…" Audrey lost her cool. "Just untie my freaking hands! You are keeping me locked in a room with I'm guessing a guard on the other side of the door, I just want to be able to walk around!" "Well since you put it that way, I guess I could let you walk around for a while. This isn't permanent though so don't try coming up with any escape plan." "You need more faith in your plans and staff Mr.…" "Vargas." "Mr. Vargas. You should give yourself a little more credit and me a little less." "You're Jason Morgan's daughter. I'm being careful." "What do you want from Jason anyway…territory, do you want to run drugs, what?" "You're not as naïve to the business as I thought. I want to be in charge of Port Charles." "Then run for mayor, don't kidnap nineteen year old girls." "You really should watch the sarcasm princess. Daddy's not here to save you." "Yet."
Jason paced around the penthouse as Noah called everyone one of their contacts looking for information. Jason had called Sonny but hadn't been able to get a hold of him. He was in a therapy session. "What have we found out?" Noah had barely closed his phone before Jason asked. "Vargas just got in town last week. Word is he wants to run Port Charles. We don't know where he's hiding yet." "Keep looking. I want her found by nightfall tomorrow or everyone is fired."
Carly walked in on that last statement and knew something bad happened. "Jase, what's going on?" "We have a new threat. He kidnapped Audrey." "What! Oh Jase, I'm so sorry. What can I do to help?" "Just keep an eye out for anyone or anything suspicious. And keep trying to get a hold of Sonny. I haven't talked to him yet. Call me as soon as you talk to him." "I will. I love you, Jase. You'll get her back." "Yeah, you too."
Audrey scoffed at the man in front of her. "You don't want trouble with Jason. And if he brings Sonny into this, you're done." "Well, that's why you're here…to keep things trouble-free. So, I'm going to tell you what to do, and you're going to do it." "What do you want me to do?" "Call Jason." "Are you actually gonna untie my hands for this or no?" He walked over and untied her hands. "I need a phone. I dropped mine when your thugs grabbed me." He handed her a phone. "Here you go, princess. But let me warn you, screw up once and you're done." She dialed Jason's number and waited for it to ring.
Jason was still pacing around his penthouse when his cell phone started ringing. "Yeah?" "Dad?" "Oh, Audrey, are you okay? Are you hurt?" "No, no I'm fine." "Where are you?" "I can't…I can't tell you. Dad…" Vargas grabbed the phone from Audrey before she could finish her sentence. "Audrey? Audrey!" "We'll call again…if she's good. Next time follow instructions…be alone…and maybe, maybe she'll live." "Just tell me what you want." Before he could get an answer he heard the phone click. The line was dead.
