CHAPTER 23
Patrick: Did you say jail?
Sabrina: Yea...I did...
Patrick: What was he in jail for?
Sabrina: Murder...
Patrick: Murder?! He says shocked...Oh my god!
Sabrina: Yea...Patrick, I didn't tell you this because I thought he was gone for good...but my parents just informed me that he's been released and he's looking for me.
Patrick: He doesn't know where you are does he? He asks with worry.
Sabrina: Unfortunately, he does...baby, sit...she takes his hand. He starts pacing which means he's worried. I want to explain why he was in jail to begin with and why he's looking for me.
Patrick: Ok, I'm sorry, he says sitting next to her...I just worry about you...if anything happened to you, I would not know what to do with myself...I couldn't go through that again. I wouldn't want to live.
Sabrina: Patrick, listen to me...we have nothing to worry about...yet...After we broke up, he went on a rampage.
Patrick: Did he hurt you? He asks looking at her beautiful face.
Sabrina: Remember when I told you it wasn't pretty after he said woman are to stay home with children.
Patrick: Yea?
Sabrina: It really wasn't...I started arguing with him...we had a huge fight. The next day I thought he was calm and wanted to discuss the day before but I was wrong. I went to his was drunk, and waiting for me. He had a baseball bat and....she started to cry, remembering what happened.
Patrick: Oh, Sabrina...he says with teary eyes. That bastard.
Sabrina: I wasn't able to defend myself and wound up in the hospital.
Patrick: I, why didn't you tell me before?
Sabrina: Because like I said...I thought he was in prison for life...but he got out somehow on a technicality.
Patrick: Son of a bitch, he says loudly but quietly at the same time as to not wake up the children.
Sabrina: Hey, I'm okay, she says taking his hands again....I'm here...happy with you, my husband and children! She kisses him to calm him down.
Patrick hugs her.
Sabrina: I want you to do me a favor...
Patrick: Anything.
Sabrina: If for some reason he comes here, you call the cops right away! I don't want him anywhere near our kids...he was desperate to have kids with me when we were together. I never understood the desperate need for children, but he wanted to give his own children the love he never got as a child I guess and when I refused, he just broke...
Patrick:Yea, that much I gather, he shakes his head. How can one man become so possessive over a woman? I mean, you are gorgeous, he finally smiles but that's just a messed up man right there.
Sabrina: Yea, you got that right. I'm not scared for me, Patrick, she says standing up walking around the room, I am petrified for you and the kids. I don't think he knows who you are, but he knows I'm here in Port Charles and I'm going to bet that one way or the other he is going to try and find me...us...
Patrick: Hey, we will get through this...if anything comes of it, like you said. Right?
Sabrina shakes her head with a tear falling down.
Sabrina: I'm so sorry sweetie...
Patrick: Hey, it's not your fault the jerk was let out of prison...but I'll make sure he's brought back there as soon as I see his sorry face.
Sabrina: So will I! She smiles, trying to calm her husband down...she can tell he's freaked out by the look on his face.
Patrick: I can't believe I'm saying this...
Sabrina: What?
Patrick: I think I should maybe go to Sonny and get bodyguards for you and the kids...he shakes his head.
Sabrina: No...that's not necessary...Patrick...For one, I hardly know the guy and two, you hate the guy, and three I don't think we need bodyguards...you and my dad must share the same thought process she laughs.
Patrick: Hey! He laughs back...I gather he wanted the same thing?
Sabrina: Yea...and he was insistent on it.
Patrick: Well, I'll have to go to the MetroCourt and tell him I agree with him. That should get me on his good side for sure.
Sabrina: Great minds think a like, she winks...you could try but they are leaving tomorrow morning to go back to Puerto Rico.
Patrick: I thought they were staying?
Sabrina: So did I but my dad said he had some unexpected business that came up and can't wait, so they have to leave early.
Patrick: Well, maybe nothing will come of it, he says trying to think positive...what do you say we hit the sheets!?
Sabrina: You don't have to ask me twice she laughs and chases her husband to their bedroom where the make love and relieve the stress of the day.
Sabrina was folding laundry, Patrick was at work and the kids were napping...she was enjoying the day off until there was a knock at her door.
Sabrina: I'll be right there.
Miguel: Well, well, well...if it isn't Ms. Sabrina Santiago...or I should say Mrs. Sabrina Drake? He said clapping his hands as to be intimidating.
Sabrina: You shouldn't be here, she says trying to not sound fearful...
Miguel walks into the house making himself at home by sitting on the couch.
Sabrina: What the hell do you think your doing?
Miguel: Just admiring your new life style here Brina...very nice...very nice indeed...and I hear congratulations are in order as you are now a mother he says staring blankly at her scaring her even more. I would just love to meet those children of yours.
Sabrina: Like hell, she shouts...I'm calling the cops....she takes out her cell...
Miguel: I'd put that phone down if I were you, he says taking out a gun...
Sabrina: NO! She starts to dial the phone when he fires a threatening shot.
Miguel: The next shot will be at your head...if you don't put that gun down, so help me...
Emma runs out scared of what she just heard.
Emma: Mommy? What was that? She runs to Sabrina scared.
Sabrina: Mija...you need to go back to your room...
Emma runs back to her room, but Sabrina slips her cell in Emma's hand...
Emma does the only thing she can think of and calls Patrick...she finds his name on the phone and hits call.
Patrick: Hey, you...he says without hestiating knowing who was on the line...
Emma: DADDY! HELP!
Patrick: Emma? What's wrong baby?
Emma: There is a scary man here with a gun...
Patrick is blindsided and drops his phone...he realizes he dropped the phone and picked it back up to talk to Emma.
Patrick: Baby, listen to me...you did the right thing by calling me...is mommy okay?
Emma: I think so, just scared...and so am I...
Patrick: I'm on my way home.
Elizabeth: Hey, what's wrong?
Patrick: I have to leave...Sabrina is being held hostage in our own home.
Elizabeth: Oh my GOD! GO!
Patrick rushes home to handle the situation. While on his way, he calls Anna.
Anna: Commissioner Devane.
Patrick: Anna, it's me...I need backup at my house...
Anna: Backup? For what?
Patrick: There is a madman holding my wife and children hostage...I'll explain later, just get back up there NOW! He hangs up the phone and pulls into his driveway afraid of what he might walk into.
Miguel: Just for giving that little girl your phone, I have no choice but to tie you up, he says tying her to a chair and taping her mouth shut.
Patrick flings the front door open to find his wife tied to his chair wondering if the kids were okay.
Patrick: LET HER GO this instant! he shouts.
Miguel: Over my dead body.
Patrick: Oh, that can be arranged.
Miguel tries to get Patrick in a headlock...Sabrina screams, while Miguel and Patrick battle it out...moments later Sabrina hears a gun shot!
