"Anna, Anna," David shook his ex-wife. "She's gone! Greenlee, she's gone!"

Anna had fallen asleep in one of the chairs outside of Greenlee's room. Recent events had left her exhausted so a minute of lying back was more than enough time to put her fast asleep.

"Anna! Did you see her? Do you know where she went?"

"Calm down, David. I'm sure there is no reason to be so alarmed. So just take a deep breath for me – good. Maybe she is in the bathroom, or… Are you sure she is gone?"

David nodded. He was on his way to tell Greenlee that she was being released from the hospital when he found her room empty. "Leo's jacket, it's gone too. We need to find her, Anna, before she does something to hurt herself."

"Okay, okay. We'll find her. A woman in a hospital gown and a jacket twice her size can't be too hard to find. I'll have somebody check by her penthouse."

Anna walked off to make the call. David rubbed his hands over his face. He had to find her. He remembered what it was like when his father killed himself – how he thought about taking his own life. If Greenlee was thinking like that… The thought made David shudder. He had to find her and protect her from herself. He had to help her for his brother. All Leo ever wanted was to make her happy. He would hate Greenlee being in this pain.

"Someone will be there in a minute," Anna told him. She saw that the worry on David's face wasn't going away. "Oh, David. It's great of you to care about Greenlee, but you need to take care of yourself too," she pleaded. "Has anyone checked you out yet?"

"I'm fine," he answered strongly. "It's just – I told you what it was like for me when my father died. I need to protect Greenlee from that. I can't let her go through what I went through. I can't let anything happen to her. She is all of Leo I have left."

Anna wasn't sure what to do. David was dead set on thinking the worst, and when David's mind was set on something there wasn't much that anyone could do about it. David began pacing back and forth in panicked thought as they waited for some news.

"Chief," a voice came out from Anna's walkie-talkie.

"It's the chief. Did you find her?"

"No. No one was at the loft. Is there somewhere else you want checked?"

Anna cursed under her breath. What made it worse was that David was listening to every word with his fears growing by the second. "Uh, alright then. Get a patrol car out and have someone check the boathouse. Also, try any place that serves alcohol."

"This can't be happening," David panicked. "If she gets hurt I'll never forgive myself. It's bad enough Leo is dead because of me, we can't lose Greenlee too!"

Anna grabbed his hands and gave him a stern look. "I told you, David. This is not your fault. You can't keep blaming yourself for Vanessa."

David lowered his head and breathed deeply. "You're right. It doesn't matter anymore. Leo's gone. But Greenlee is still here. I can help her."

"Well, I have men checking everywhere, David. She's probably at the boathouse anyway. If she wanted to feel close to Leo that's where she would be, right?"

"I guess so," he answered. "But, I mean, when my father died and Vanessa moved us out of that house, I just, you know, I needed so badly to feel close to him again. But nothing worked. Greenlee must be so desperate to feel close to Leo and I'm just scared she might do something stupid."

"I know, David. But it's going to be alright. We'll find her, I promise."

David still wasn't so sure. "I keep thinking how I used to miss my father. And how I used to ride my bike by that house all the time. That's where I lost him so… oh my God! That's it! I know where she is!" he cried, racing past Anna.

"You going to fill me in?" she screamed after him. Typical David. He was never one to tell her everything. If he had been, maybe their marriage wouldn't have gone up in flames.

Greenlee was sitting on the edge of the falls. There was a rail on each side of her but not where she was sitting. This was the spot where he fell – where she saw him fall. This is where a rail used to be. It was the one that gave way as Leo was struggling with Vanessa for the gun. Now she was in that same spot, just 100 feet up from joining her soul mate again. She had been sitting there for hours with her feet dangling over the edge… thinking about it. This was the second time that Leo had driven her to a ledge. Granted, the first time it was because she dumped him, but still. All that time they had wasted. Greenlee wished they had used it better. If she had known what was to come, nothing would have stopped her from taking advantage of every second she could have been with him.

"Okay, Leo. Can you tell me what to do? Have you really left me or are you still out there somewhere? You know, when we said we would fight to the death for each other, I didn't think you would take it so literally."

She tried to laugh at herself, but tears came out instead.

"Damn it, Leo! I need you to come back to me! How do I do this without you? I mean, I was dead before you came into my life. You made my life worth living – made me happy to be alive for the first time. You were the only one who ever cared enough to find out who I was and somehow you loved me anyway."

She looked down again. She could barely even see her feet because Leo's jacket was so big on her. The thought of joining him was getting more temping by the minute. What was the point of it all without him?

"Greenlee!" she heard in the distance. "Greenlee! Are you here?"

"Leo," she hoped. She brushed off her tears as best she could to try and look presentable as she frantically looked around to find out where the shouting was coming from and saw David rushing up to her. "Oh, thank God," he sighed in relief as he saw her.

Bubba smiled at a coughing Leo. It took pouring two buckets of water over his head to wake him up, but now he was conscious again. It was time to get the plan started.

"Bout time you got up. I was getting anxious over here. Millions of dollars has that effect, ya know."

"Where? Who are you?" Leo weakly got the words out. He tried to focus on the figure in front of him as his eyes, seeing double, were working to adjust.

"Just a man on a mission," Bubba told him. "But enough about me. Let's talk about you. Or better yet, where your mothers' money is."

The mention of Vanessa was like a jump start to Leo's brain. He remembered coming to save Greenlee and he and his mother going over the falls. "I don't know what you're talking about, buddy," Leo innocently told him, "I just want to get back to my wife. She sent me out to go shopping for milk and everything after that is a blank. Maybe a car ran me off the road or something."

"Don't play dumb with me, duPres! I know exactly who you are. I'm the one that got you out of those rapids. You should be thanking me for saving you instead of letting you end up a corpse like your mother!"

"Alright, I see you're smarter than you look then."

Crack!

"I don't appreciate wise guys, duPres. I want that money."

"Okay, fine. I was there. But I don't know anything about any money. My mother's stash was just a bunch of worthless stocks. Now if you'll let me go, I need to get my wife. You can appreciate that can't you?"

"Ah yes. The wife. Greenlee Smythe. Pretty little thing, aint' she? It would be a shame if something would happen to her."

"You touch her and…"

"You'll what, duPres? You couldn't take me even if I let you out of those cuffs. You want to make sure the misses doesn't get hurt, you tell me where the money is, understand?"

Leo couldn't take any chances. He knew how these things worked. Once he was no longer needed, that didn't mean this guy was going to let him go. But if he was threatening Greenlee, Leo couldn't do anything to risk her life.

"It was diamonds. A bunch of diamonds in a brown bag."

"That's better. And where are they now?"

"I threw them off the ledge of the falls. They landed on the footpath at the bottom."

That's all Bubba needed for now. "Good. You're a man who knows what's good for you. Just sit tight. I'll be back as soon as I find the diamonds."

"Like I have a choice," Leo muttered as he tested the strength of his handcuffs. They were strong alright, and the table they had him attached to was nailed into the floor. Escaping wouldn't be easy, but he had to get out of there. Somehow he had to get back to Greenlee and let her know that he was okay. She must be worried sick, or worse, probably thinking he is dead. There had to be a way out before he ended up like Vanessa. Hearing that Vanessa was dead was the lone bright spot to this day. One less problem for later. He looked around the room for something he could use. It looked like he was going to need to put some of his old con man skills to good use. His eyes lit up when under the table he saw a pin. Con 101 – you've got to know how to pick a lock. With some struggling, he managed to reach the pin and started working on the lock. He knew he had to work quickly too, before the big guy came back. His life probably depended on it.
