Sam pulled up to the mansion in Austin, Texas. She didn't know what she was going to say yet. All she knew was that she had to lead Audrey's step-father to her. That way she would be out of Jason's life and Sam would be the one to comfort him. She walked up to the door and knocked twice. She took a step away from the door and waited for someone to open it. The door finally opened and in front of her was, she assumed, James Woods.
"Can I help you?" Sam took a step forward. "Yes, hi. I'm looking for James Woods." The man studied her before speaking again. "I'm James Woods. What can I do for you?" Sam smiled. "My name is Sam McCall. I'm from Port Charles and I think I know something that you may be interested in." Intrigued, James moved aside and guided Sam into the house. They made their way to his study and sat down, the desk separating them.
"I'm listening, Ms. McCall." Sam paused a moment, contemplating if this was the right thing to do. She decided that she would do anything to get Jason back. "I'm aware that you were married at one time to a woman named Karen Wexler." James nodded wondering where Sam was going with this. "And Karen had a daughter, correct?" Again, James nodded. He hadn't seen Audrey in over a year. He had left after she had started defending herself. "Well, I know where your step-daughter is." James sat upright. He had been looking for her ever since Karen had died. "Where?" Sam made him wait a few moments before telling him.
"Port Charles, New York." James smiled. "Karen's hometown." Sam nodded. "She located her biological father there. My fiancé. Well at least he was my fiancé until Audrey showed up. Now he's back with his ex-wife. I want to work with you, Mr. Woods. I will lead you straight to Audrey if you get her out of Jason's life…for good. I know that Jason will come to his senses once that girl is out of town. So, will you help me?" James thought about what Sam was proposing. He had wanted Audrey to be his for so long and now was his chance. "I will help you Sam. You take me to Port Charles and I will make sure that Audrey never bothers you or her father again." Sam smiled. They stood up and shook hands before coming up with their plan.
Audrey woke up after staying the night at Noah's with a bad feeling. She couldn't quite place what was wrong but she knew that something bad was going to happen. She tried to shake it off as she got up and headed to the shower. Noah had all ready left for work. He left her a note telling her that he loved her and that he would see her later. She smiled as she read his words. She felt like the luckiest girl in the world. Finally. She got out of the shower and got dressed before heading back to her father's penthouse.
She decided to take the long way back to the penthouse. She headed towards the docks. She loved sitting on a bench and just staring out at the water. It made all of her problems feel so small. She walked down the stairs and stopped dead in her tracks. "Hello, Audrey. Long time, no see." Audrey's blood felt cold and if felt like her heart had stopped. "What are you doing here?" "I came to see you." "How did you find me?" "An informant. You're a hard girl to track down." "Go away James! You're making a big mistake by being here! I have a real father now who will do anything to protect me. And I have a boyfriend who is just as protective! Just go!" James took a step towards her and she backed away. "Now, now. That's no way to talk to the man who raised you." "You mean the man that raped me!" Audrey turned as fast as she could and ran towards the penthouse.
James let her go for now. Sam walked out from behind the fence. "That was quite the reunion." James smiled. "The first part of our plan is done. Audrey knows I can find her." James walked away and left Sam on the docks to bask in her reunion with Jason.
Audrey got to the penthouse in record time. She didn't want to wait for the elevator. If James had followed her she didn't want to be stuck in an elevator with him. She took the stairs two at a time. Her legs were burning by the time she got to her floor. She opened the door and ran straight into Marco's arms. Noah had told him that he could stay at the penthouse since Audrey was staying at his apartment. Now Audrey wished that Marco had been with her.
The guard apprehensively wrapped his arms around the distraught girl. "Miss Morgan, what happened?" "Where is my dad?" "He's out for the day. He has business with Mr. Calvin." That only made Audrey cry harder. The two men that she counted on weren't around the comfort her. "What about Sonny? Is he with them?" "No, he's letting them take care of it. He's at his house." Audrey finally let go of Marco and looked up at him. "Can you take me over there? Please?" Marco nodded and guided her out to his car.
Marco pulled up to Sonny's house and stopped the car. He still didn't know what happened to Audrey but he knew that it was bad. Audrey didn't break down often. She was a strong girl. He walked around to her door and let her out of the car. She thanked him before walking up the path to Sonny's door. She opened the door and was greeted by Max and Milo. They noticed her red eyes and tear stained cheeks and immediately informed Sonny that she was there. She walked into the living room and ran right into Sonny's arms, just as she had done with Marco. She needed to feel safe right now. Sonny didn't ask any questions. He just stroked her head and let her cry.
He knew that she would tell him when she was ready. She pulled back a few minutes later and sat down on the couch. Sonny followed her lead. She took a deep breath before telling him what happened. "My step-father is here." Sonny felt rage deep inside him. He hadn't known Audrey very long but she was part of his family now. Her bastard step-father wouldn't hurt her if he had anything to say about it. "Where did you see him?" "On the docks. I was walking home from Noah's, which I know I shouldn't have done alone, but I went to the docks to look out at the water and as soon as I walked down the steps I saw him. He was…he was smiling at me. And he told me that he came to see me. That an informant told him where I was. Sonny, I'm scared. You don't know what that man is capable of. If he took the time to come find me he won't leave unless I'm with him." Sonny soothed her. "It's okay. Nothing is going to happen to you. Jason and Noah and I are going to protect you."
Audrey nodded. "I'm going to call your father now. Do you want Marco to stay with you while I'm on the phone?" Audrey nodded again. Sonny called Marco in and told him to stay with her until he got back. Marco agreed and sat down next to Audrey. She looked so child-like. Her eyes looked lost and scared. Whatever this man had done to her it wasn't good at all. He just wondered how he found out where she was.
Sonny walked into the entrance way and dialed Jason's number. He picked up on the second ring. "Morgan." "It's me. We have a problem. Audrey's step-father paid her a little visit today." Jason tensed up at the mention of her step-father. "How did he find her?" "He said an informant told him. They were on the docks. She's terrified, man. You need to get over here right away." Sonny hung up and walked back into his living room. He dismissed Marco and wrapped his arms around Audrey. He rocked her back and forth as he waited for Jason to get there.
Jason just left his meeting without telling anyone, even Noah. He had never been so mad and scared in his entire life and he had faced a lot of situations. He jumped on his bike and sped off towards Sonny's. He had vowed to take care of James Woods as soon as Audrey as told Jason about him. And he was going to keep that vow no matter what he had to do.
