A/N Hey everyone! Thanks for all the great reviews! Hope you enjoy this chapter, It is dedicated to chicken boy. Don't forget to review! By the way we will not be updating on Tuesday because it's my Birthday!
John POV
"Carly, I'm going to say this as kindly as possible, SHUTUP!" I yelled, tired of Carly's nervous rambling. It was the day after we had gotten our calls. "Well that was rude!" Carly said acting hurt. "Listen, I'm waiting for a call from Nate." I said calmly. "Nate?" Carly started "I've been with almost every guy in this town, and I don't remember anyone named Nate." "Nate is my old friend from FBI training. He works down in California. I gave him the address, and he's gonna check it out." I explained. "BLAH ,Blah, Blah! What I want to know is, is this Nate friend of yours hot." She said with a devilish smile. "Carly, Todd" I said reminding her that she had a boyfriend. "Oh my god, I was just joking." Carly defended rolling her eyes.
I was about to tell Carly to just calm down and take a seat, but my phone rang. "That must be Nate." Carly nodded in agreement. "Hello" I said answering the phone. "Yeah John, its me Dante we're gonna need you down here at Cluck barn. There's been calls of a shooting and we have an idea that it has something to do with the kidnappings." I looked over at Carly who was examining my Fridge for food. "Okay we'll be right there." I said hanging up. "Are you hungry, Cause we're going to the Cluck barn." I said walking over to her. "Okay, I know you're on a budget, working at the police station, but The Cluck Barn, really?" She asked in disgust. "One, I make pretty good money, which you can tell by looking at this house. And Two, We are not eating there, there's some information involving the kidnapping." I explained. Me and Sam brought a nice house pretty close to Carly's (that's the down side). It took a lot of saving up, but it was worth it. There's 4 rooms, so we all have are own. It even has a backyard with a pool. "Well John, I think we both know that Sam's job paid for this house. And, dibs on driving." She said running out the door.
"John over here!" Dante yelled. Carly and I walked over. I showed my badge to the officer keeping the crowd away. There was blood all over the counter. "EWWWWW!" Carly yelled backing away from the counter. She tripped and luckily I caught her. We stared at each other for a second. I had never noticed that Carly had really pretty eyes. "Eh hem, detective if you could follow me." Anna said, causing Carly to jump out of my arms. "Sorry commissioner" I replied as Carly and I followed her to a small room in the back. There was a scrawny guy with a tag that said manager who was shaking in his sheet. I looked over at Anna. "Witness." She whispered.
"Alright so what's going on here?" I asked. "Yesterday afternoon there was an order placed here from California by Connie Falconeri" Anna explained. I nodded as she continued "Edward Moon received this call and placed an order to be delivered to Connie at the address Sam gave you for where they were being held" Anna continued. "What does this have to do with Todd?" Carly asked anxiously. "I was getting to that, anyway a few hours after the call was received and the order was placed a man arrived at this restaurant and shot Edward, who is now in the hospital in critical condition. Around the same time the young man who was sent to deliver the order to Connie in California was found shot and dead at the place the order was to be sent, the building he was in was empty, although DNA from both Sam, Todd, and Connie was found" Anna finished. "Great" I muttered running a hand through my hair. "Was there any of Jax's DNA." I asked pacing back and forward. "NO, so that lead is obviously gone. Maybe when Sam said Tom and Jerry, she meant the actual JERRY." I stopped pacing and looked at Anna, and then Carly. "This is bad. Do you know what Jerry Jax is capable of?" Carly yelled. "I learned that when bomb control put me on hold." I Yelled frustrated. "So what your telling me is our one lead is gone, and now we find out Jerry has them. The worst part is this all happened yesterday. Jerry and them could be out of the country by now!" I complained.
"John you have to calm down, where doing everything we can to find them" Anna said trying to calm me down. I managed to get my anger under control, but Carly on the other hand did the opposite "Well your best isn't enough! Todd's out there somewhere being held by some cico, his life is on the line, and you managed to ruin the one chance we had of finding him! He could be dead for all we know, so let me tell you what ever your doing isn't working you have to try harder, search harder and you have to find him!" she yelled. "Mrs. Jax I~" Anna started but was cut off when Carly said "No don't say that just find him, you have to find him!" she yelled. At this point I decided I should step in, "Hey Carly you need to calm down alright" I said to her calmly. "No John I wont calm down, you don't understand!" She yelled. I shook my head "Yah I do Carly, I do understand, but we're find them alright, Sam and Todd" I replied. "You don't understand" she repeated quietly. I was about to reply when I received a phone call. "Excuse me" I said stepping aside and answering my phone "John McBain".
"Hey John, it's Alexis I'm just calling for an update on the situation with Sam" Alexis answered. "And Todd" I heard Maxie shout in the background. I rolled my eyes at the memory of last night...
(Yesterday Night at Alexis' house)
After receiving the call and doing my best to locate Sam I decided to go to Alexis' house and tell everyone the news. Sam and I had been invited to go to dinner at their house that night for a small get together."John, nice to see you please come in" Alexis greeted me. "Thank you" I replied entering the house and making my way to the dining room, where I found everyone seated. "Where's Sam" Maxie asked immediately. I sighed, "I'm sorry but the reason I'm here is to tell you all that Sam and Todd Manning have been kidnapped" I said. Everyone gasped and burst into question mode. "Wait a second so is that why Carly didn't come because I was really hoping it was because she finally realized no one likes her here" Patrick said. "Carly's staying with the boys right now" I answered. "Wait John are you serious Todd's gone!" Maxie said. I nodded "Yes and so is Sam" I repeated. "This can not be happening!" Maxie complained. "Since when do you care so much about Todd" Kristina questioned. "Are you kidding he's the reason I now live in my own apartment with out a real job at Crimson!" Maxie replied. "How?" Robin questioned. "He pays me not to annoy him" Maxie replied. "Oh my god you too!" Patrick said in return. "This is horrible Todd was going to get me a free subscription to the Sun" Mac complained. "And he was going to give me and Rafe internships" Molly added. "He was going to get me a puppy!" Kristina yelled. "I want a puppy!" Maxie complained. "Me too" Molly added. "I have been wanting a dog" Patrick said. "But we can't get puppies because Todd's gone" Kristina said. "No it can't be, you have to find him John I don't want to be poor, I just can't!" Maxie complained. "Yah, what are you doing to find Todd?" asked Molly. "Yah WE WANT TODD! WE WANT TODD!" Maxie chanted, and pretty soon the majority of the people at the table chanted it as well. "DO NONE OF YOU CARE SAM WAS KIDNAPPED TO I THOUGHT YOU WERE HER FAMILY!" I yelled after 10 more seconds of "we want Todd". The room went silent "Sam's missing" Maxie said as if it was the first she'd heard of this. I nodded. "Why didn't you tell us John" Kristina asked. I was speechless. "Oh my god when did this happen?" Molly asked. "How much do you know?" Patrick asked. "Do you know where she is?" Kristina asked. "WHERE'S TODD!" Maxie yelled. And after that I spent the rest of my night answering questions and explaining over and over again that Sam was gone.
(Present time)
"Listen Alexis I got some bad news, the police went to the address Sam gave me in California, and they were gone, but Sam was definitely there" I informed her. "What about Todd!" I heard Kristina yell in the background. "Todd was there too, but like I said, there gone" I answered. "Oh that's horrible." She said obviously upset. "And to make it worst, Connie and Jerry kidnapped them, not Connie and Jax." I said. "About that, I don't think Connie was the kidnapper. I think she was one of the kid nappies. I mean lately she has been acting kinder. And she even agreed to get, and got, integrated. It turned out Kate was the alter. Ever since then, I don't know I just don't see her kidnapping them." Alexis said sounding sure. I thought about what she had said. I guess I just wanted to point fingers, not thinking about the facts. "You're right, thanks Alexis. And don't worry we will get Sam back." I said with hope. "What about Todd?" I heard Kristina, Molly, and Maxie holler in the back. "Todd too"I turned the phone off. "Come on Carly." I said walking towards the door. "Call me if you find anything about the shooting or kidnapping." I instructed Anna. I then turned around and walked out of the room Carly trailing behind me. When we got to the car, I looked around. I had a strange feeling. Just then I got another phone call. "Hello." I answered. Carly who was next to me started saying "I'm John and I'm answering the phone for the millionth time." I whispered cut it. "John its Nate. Got nothing but a body, but I found a brochure for some resort. I think that's where you can find your girl." He said. "Thanks send me the address to the resort." I hung up and turned to Carly "I got a plan".
"You're Plan really sucked." Carly said as we sat in Todd's overcrowded Private Jet. The Davis/Scorpio family, Starr, Michael, TJ, Rafe, A.J,Spinelli and Dante were all squished on a plane with us. Lets just say, its a long story
FLASH BACK (JOHN POV)
"Hey John, and ugh Carly" Maxie said Opening the door to the Davis/Scropio house. (ALexis kept her last name.) "Hey Maxie, what are you doing here?" I asked as we stepped inside. "The whole family is here. Even Michael and Starr. Sadly those two brought A.j." With the mention of AJ Carly turned around and started walking towards the door, but I grabbed her arm. "Come on." I said pulling her along. "I don't want to see AJ!" Carly yelled trying to escape my grasp. "What is everyone doing here anyway?" I asked as we followed Maxie to the kitchen, where everyone was. " We're having a 'save Todd' meeting. We meet and talk about ways to save todd. Micheal and Aj are using some ELQ funds, to supply T-shirts, mugs, and snacks, including Lilas relish." She said with a smile. "Its great that you guys are supporting Sam and Todd, maybe one one of your ideas will help save them". "Anyway about plans I have one, that's why I'm here." I said with a smile. "Wait!" She yelled stopping. "Whats wrong?" I asked. "Sam's kidnapped?" She said surprised. I sighed and found my way into the kitchen leaving Maxie standing there confused. "HI JOHN!" They all chorused. "Hey guys I have great news, I have a plan , me an-" I was cut off. "You got a plan?" Maxie who had just came in said. "I noticed Carly was still in the living room not wanting to see A.J. "He's got a plan!" Kristina yelled. "TO SAVE TODD! HE'S GOT A PLAN! HE'S GOT A PLAN!" Patrick yelled jumping up and down. "Guys calm down!" Robin yelled, hitting Patrick on the arm. "I know I have a plan to save Sam and Todd and Connie." I said smiling proud. "Wait! Sams kidnapped!" Everyone except Alexis yelled. "Its gonna be a long day." I muttered.
After explaining once again, the kidnapping situation, I shared my plan. "Okay,me, Carly, and Dante are going to fly to California, and pull a surprise on Jerry. I'll handle Jerry while Dante and Carly get Sam, Todd, and Connie. Fom there we'll have to take a car and drive back, because we can't afford the tickets for so many people." I once again smiled proudly, but my smile faded when Maxie yelled, "Your plan Sucks with a capital sucks!" Everyone nodded in agreement. "John, you cant just have three people, especially when one is Carly. You need way more backup." "Jerry probably has a ton of goons lined up waiting for you to show." Alexis started. "That's why me and Mac are coming." She demanded. "Ale-" I started but she cut me off "John, you are nothing but a boyfriend to Sam. I'm her mother and Mac's her step-father. WE ARE COMING! She once again demanded. knowing I wouldn't win this fight, I said fine. " Okay we will go pack our bags." everyone else in the room said. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, no. I'm not letting anyone else come. This is dangerous, its not like one of your little meetings." I said. "John, save it. Me, Molly, Kristina, and Robin are Sam's sisters, whether by blood or not, we love her. And we are going to be there to save her and Todd. We are not kids anymore. I mean come on, I have gone through a ton, and survived it all. Molly already saved Sam once, when she let you, Lucy and , Rafe out of jail. You seemed to think she was old enough then. Robin got out of Sweeten prison. Kristina was ready to kill Crazy Connie. John we are ready. Plus, Starr is Todds daughter, micheal is Starrs boyfriend, and A.j is his dad, who is by the way crazy enough to shoot his dad in the back, so he can kill some goons. Oh an T.J. has to come cause he is Mollys boyfriend who knows how to steal a car or two. And Rafe is cute so he has to come. Did I get everyone? Oh wait Patrick. He can stay. Everyone besides him is going though." Maxie ordered ,Everyone nodded in agreement. "I obviously couldn't win so I said the stupidest thing ever. "Lets do this! And Patrick you can come!"
End Of Flashbacks
So as I sat on Todds crowded jet, I thought of all the things I could of said instead of those stupid three words, like "NO!NO!NO!" But now it was too late.
