Elizabeth and Alexis were sitting in Carly's room together watching her in silence. "I never thought I would say this but what I wouldn't give to hear her voice" Alexis said.
Elizabeth chuckled, "I know me too"
"Sonny told me they still haven't found him," Alexis said.
"They will" Elizabeth assured her. "They will and he will pay for all he has done"
"I don't know why I married him," Alexis said. "I knew he wasn't stable"
"We all have made the mistake of marrying someone we shouldn't. I married Ric and Lucky" Elizabeth told her.
"Lucky was a nice stable guy" Alexis reminded her.
"And now he is an addict" Elizabeth told her.
"Your marriage is over?" Alexis asked.
"Oh yes" Elizabeth answered. "Yeah, way over"
"What about you and Jason?" Alexis asked. "Are you in love with him?"
Elizabeth chuckled, "Who isn't in love with Jason Morgan?" she asked.
"Me" Alexis answered.
"Yes, you. But you are in love with Sonny" Elizabeth said.
"No, that is just absurd" Alexis scoffed.
"I thought we were being honest?" Elizabeth asked softly.
Alexis didn't respond she just looked away. Her eyes searching for something to focus on. Her eyes rested on Carly for a moment and she saw her hand twitch. "Elizabeth, she moved,"
Elizabeth went over to the bed and looked at the machines. "Call for a doctor, I thinks he is coming to"
Alexis ran out in the hall and called for a doctor.

"Are we going to run forever?" Sam asked once they settled in.
"No, just long enough to get Sonny and Jason off my back" Ric said. "Is molly ok?"
"She is scared" Sam told him.
"She will adjust" Ric commented. He motioned for Sam to have a seat. "I filled for divorce today"
"Good for you" Sam commented. She turned and saw the gleam in Ric's eyes. "Don't tell me you are proposing?"
"If we are going to raise Molly together we should be married." Ric explained.
"No" Sam said.
"I can give you a good life," Ric advised her. "We will get married and get a home. You can go to school, or work or stay home." He paused, "Have your own baby"
Sam stopped and then looked at Ric, "This seems twisted" she said. "I feel like a bad person for agreeing"
"You agree?" he asked and Sam nodded, "Good" he said.

"Stan hasn't found anything" Jason replied.
"Well, tell him to look harder" Sonny bellowed.
Jason opened his mouth to say something but the door opened and Jax walked in. "Carly is awake" he said.
Sonny smiled and Jason looked relieved. "Good" Sonny said. "Why aren't you with her?"
"Because I want to make Ric pay," Jax replied.
"We can't find him," Jason said.
"Why don't you send someone to Ric's office. He has to come to work sometime and then he has to go home," Jax suggested.
"Candyboy has a point" Sonny mused.
"I thought we were past that: Jax scowled.
Sonny just laughed.

"Ok, her name is Elizabeth Webber" Ric said into the phone. "Yes, she is at General Hospital. Once you have her bring her to me- unharmed"
"What are you up to?" Sam asked.
"Giving you what belongs to you" Ric said.
"What?" Sam asked.
"I know you want you own baby and I will give you that too but I am going to take Elizabeth's baby," he said.
"You did that to Carly too, well, you tried to" Sam said. "Ric, this is going too far"
"Don't try and stand in my way Sam" Ric warned.
Sam waited for Rick to leave the house and then she left too. She went into town and pulled out her cell phone making sure she couldn't be seen or heard she dialed Jason's number. For a moment she wondered if he would answer. Then she heard it pickup but no voice.
"Jason?" she asked tearfully but he didn't respond. "Ok, don't talk just listen" she said. "Elizabeth is in danger"

Elizabeth and Alexis filled Carly in on everything that was going on. "Ok, well, you miss a lot when you are in a coma" Carly said. She looked at Alexis, "Don't worry they will find Ric"
"Hopefully" Alexis replied.
Elizabeth was about to make a reassuring comment when her cell phone rang. She looked down and saw Jason's number. She blushed. "I better take this"
"Give Jason my best" Carly teased. Alexis chuckled and Elizabeth playfully glared.
Elizabeth walked out into the hallway, "hello?" she said. All she could hear was static in the background. "Hello" she said again. "Jason?"
"Liz" she heard and then more static, "Danger" was the only other word she could make out.
"Who is in danger?" she cried and started down one of the darker corridors. "Jason?"
The she felt someone put their arms around her and she struggled. Elizabeth tried to scream but she was gagged. She fought and she fought until she was exhausted.

"Damn" Jason cried when the phone went dead. He looked over at Sam. "The phone went dead. Where would he take her?"
Sam thought for a moment. "I guess the house we have been staying in" Sam replied.
"Can you take me there?" Jason asked.
Sam nodded, "Jason, can you forgive me?" she asked.
Jason shook his head, "No, I am sorry" he said.
"Ok" Sam said and she prepared to sell Ric out anyway but felt tears in her eyes.

"So, Lexy. Can I call you Lexy?" Carly asked.
"Sure, you are going to anyway" Alexis said.
"Are you sleeping with Sonny?" Carly asked.
"I, I" Alexis stuttered. "No"
"Oh, but you want to?" Carly asked. "Can't say I blame you there"
Alexis felt sick. "Carly, I am really uncomfortable here"
"I am not," Carly snorted.
Alexis sighed, "Yeah, that is one thing I always admired about you," she said.
Carly looked up at that, "Admire? Me?"
"Don't tell anyone but yes," she said.
Both were quiet for a moment finally Carly broke the silence. "I admire you too," she said quietly. "Your career and professionalism. I always wanted that"
"You have a career," Alexis said.
"Not like you. My fiancé lets me help him with the hotel" Carly said.
"Jax appreciates your business sense" Alexis said.
Carly smiled, "Really?" she asked.
Alexis nodded.

When Sonny arrived at the house with Jax he saw Jason standing with Sam on the curb. "Ric isn't here," Jason said.
"Is Molly?" Sonny asked.
"Yes" Sam nodded.
"Ok" Sonny said. "Is Elizabeth?"
"We don't know" Sam told him.
Sonny nodded to Jason, "Go check the house" he ordered and then he looked at Sam. "Go in after him and get Molly"
Sam nodded and followed Jason up the driveway.
A moment later Sam came out carrying Molly and Jason followed looking angry. "She isn't here," Jason said.
"We will find her," Sonny said. He looked at Jax, "Take Sam and Molly back to the house." Jax hesitated. "We wont confront Ric until you are back"
Jax nodded and led Sam back to his car. Sonny looked at Jason, "Where in the hell could he have taken her?"
Jason shrugged, "I don't know but we need to find her now"
