Chapter #3-
"But, if Emily was kidnapped, again, who did it this time?" Elizabeth asked. "It wasn't Zander, he's still in lock-up, at least to my knowledge."
"That's a good question Liz." Lucky admitted.
"There are so many suspects." Nikolas replied and silence fell.
"Let's go through the list then. There's Sorel, with Em testifying for Zander, he goes free and that means nothing good for him." Lucky added.
"Or it could be more of Jason and Sonny's enemies." Elizabeth put in.
"Or there's the obvious suspect." Nikolas said, making Elizabeth and Lucky confused.
Then it hit them. "Juan!" All three said at once. All wondered where he was, because they doubted he stuck around after the beating he received from the brothers.
"Okay guys. Here's the plan…" Lucky started.
"Liz, you take Kelly's (no alleyways) and GH. Nikolas (whispers in ear to not worry Liz – you take the park.) and I'll take the raves. We meet back here in a half an hour."
Half an Hour Later-
Liz, Lucky, Nikolas, have now met up, no one has found Juan. Surprisingly enough, Elizabeth wasn't alone when she came, following close behind was Alan junior.
They looked strongly at AJ, because from what they knew, he didn't care too much for Emily nor knew what was happening.
"I ran into AJ on my way here." Elizabeth explained.
"I pestered her into telling me what's going on." AJ said, finishing Elizabeth's explanation.
Nikolas and Lucky left it at that, because AJ was Emily's big brother, though you wouldn't know it, and they needed to find Emily, fast.
Everyone reported what they found, or what they didn't find.
"I didn't find anything. Nothing that would tell Juan was there, at sometime or another." Nikolas said.
"I didn't find him either. I asked around to see if anyone saw him recently, but they told me he hadn't been around much, and not tonight or even earlier today." Elizabeth responded.
"Juan was no where around the raves, when I was there anyway. I heard from some people that he was there, but left with a female before I got there." Lucky reported, though seething with that information."
"Excuse me?" AJ interrupted. "Another female? Not Emily?" Lucky nodded. "So you mean that he's cheating on Emily now?" AJ turned his hands into fists. Nikolas and Lucky were also angry but kept quiet about it. It was different for big brothers. They felt they had a right to scare or intimidate their baby sister's boyfriend. And hurt them if they were doing wrong in the relationship. Juan was doing just that.
Elizabeth cut in. "Did anyone know who she was?" Though a little angry as well. Figures, he couldn't use her to cheat, so he used another.
"No, but there is word on the street that he and Allison Barrington is an item…" Lucky cut off, figuring he got his meaning across.
At that statement from Lucky everyone eyes narrowed in the middle of their square burning a hole into the floor with fury.
"So you think he's with her now? And that she was the female he left with?" Nikolas asked, thinking they were getting somewhere.
"I bet my money on it. Allison was the one that Juan was kissing during the rave the night that Emily took off." Lucky answered, far from denying his suspicions.
"So where would he take Allison Barrington?" Nikolas wondered out loud.
"That leaves one last place you guys haven't checked." AJ said, speaking up, though a little too calm. Probably thinking of ways how to kill Juan, Lucky figured.
"The motels." Everyone chorused – all in disgust hidden in their voices and the way they said the word. There was no way that Juan could afford a hotel, they figured, so he'd go for a cheap crappy motel.
A Motel Complex-
The group of 4 drove into the complex. They quietly got out of the car, and stood around, leaning against the vehicle they took, figuring out what to do next.
"How do we figure out which hotel room they are in, if they are here at all? We can't just go up to the desk. They'll never tell us due to privacy issues." Liz logically said.
"Does anyone know what Juan's car looks like?" AJ asked, helping out a bit.
"A candy apple red Ford Focus." Nikolas answered, knowing because he paid attention to it for future plans to slash the tires, or do some kind of damage.
"I don't see it...but, hey look! There it is." Lucky said, while the 4 went up near the doors of the rooms closest to Juan's car. They studied the car, making sure it was the one. They didn't want to interrupt anyone that wasn't them. It was too disgusting and too embarrassing.
"So, usually people who get a room tend to park near it." Elizabeth said.
"So, it should be around here in this proximity." Lucky assumed, looking at the doors closest to the car. It was hard to tell which one it was, so they went up to check on the sounds coming from the rooms. It was disgusting, but they hoped Juan or Allison wasn't quiet when it came to lovemaking. It was the only way they would know which room they were in.
Suddenly, they heard noise from the room closest to them. They ended up hearing the names "Juan" and "Allison" moaned quite loudly, and therefore having a damn good idea what was going on in there.
"And where you hear their names being called out, likelihood is you have found their room." Nikolas finished for Lucky.
Lucky took his lock pick and just as he had picked Em's door to find her crying and frightened like a small child, he broke into Juan and Allison's room, waiting to flip the light as he went. Juan and Allison didn't notice, too busy concentrating on other things, things the 4 really didn't want know.
Lucky grinned, he had a plan before he made his presence known. He motioned for liz to give up her cell. She gave a silent look, curious to know why, but did it anyway. Lucky would explain later.
With the phone already on silent, Lucky pushed some buttons, and started the function of her color camera. He flicked on the light.
Juan and Allison froze in an intimate position, and with a small sound, evidence of Juan's two-timing was there. Lucky handed the phone back to Liz, who put it back in her purse, now realizing why Lucky wanted her phone in the first place. Good one too, Emily would like proof when it came to Juan's cheating, then no more relationship. Juan would be out of their lives. And he believed Allison's boyfriend would like to know about this.
"Eww…Very gross." Lucky said, head turned to the side.
"My eyes, they're disintegrating!!! Make it stop!" Nikolas joked, shielding his eyes.
Elizabeth stayed silent as AJ covered her eyes for her.
"Juan, get dressed NOW and I won't kill you." AJ said furiously, staring only at Juan. He was use to catching people in compromising positions, but his sister's friends still had virgin eyes.
Juan jumped out of bed and did as he said, and AJ let everyone else know when Juan was covered. (Obviously looking away a bit himself.) They saw too much as it was.
Allison took the opportunity as the boys' eyes were not directed at her or her lover to run into the bathroom, sheet clutched around her.
After Juan got dressed, AJ and Lucky immediately pin him against the wall.
"You have a lot of explaining to do Santiago." AJ growled.
"For starters, where is she?" Lucky growled just as angrily.
"Who Emily?" Juan asked, lost.
"No my sister's Barbie doll. Yes Emily!" Lucky yelled as his fist made contact with Juan's stomach.
"I don't know where she is. Why don't you ask your brother over there. I left her with him." Juan struggled against AJ and Lucky, but between the two of them, they weren't letting him go.
"Yeah, then you hit on me causing Nikolas and Lucky to come over and leave Emily by herself." Elizabeth spoke up.
"Does one of your rave friends have her stored somewhere for you?" Nikolas asked, getting worried.
"No. Look I don't know where Emily is!" Juan yelled.
"Give us one reason to believe you!"
"I was with you when she was supposedly kidnapped!" Juan said.
Nikolas and Lucky realized that was the truth, but tried one last question before checking him off the list of suspects.
"And no rave friends were paid to take her?"
"If I wanted to kidnap her, I'd do it by myself. They tend to touch what's not theirs." Juan snarled.
This earned him multiple punches to his stomach and face.
No one says that about Emily in front of her brother and friends and gets away with it…
Unknown-
Somewhere else in a dark, but comfortable room, someone slept in the bed in which they had been laid. Someone else stood in the doorway, there watching over them, waiting for them to get over the sharp drugs they inhaled earlier.
(Author's Notes- So who's taken Emily? Is she ok? Who is in the bed and who's watching over them? You'll find out!! More to come!! Please Review!! --Cleopatra1 & E.B.F.R.)
