There was a whistle in the wind that made Alexis snuggle deeper into the mattress and down comforter, but as she did so she slowly began to realize that there was something wrong with the feel of it. The mattress wasn't right, the comforter wasn't right, the smell in the room wasn't right, and that odd whistle in the wind wasn't right. As she came too a little more Alexis suddenly remembered what happened. She'd been attacked in the elevator at General Hospital. There'd been a man, he'd injected her with something, and then everything went dark. Alexis sat bolt upright and her hand went right to her stomach. She closed her eyes tightly as fear washed over her. "Kick Mommy little one. Come on, let me know you're alright." The baby complied and gave her a good strong kick. "Oh thank god."

With that off her mind Alexis finally took a moment to look around and figure out where she was. The room was huge. There was a stone fireplace across from the four-poster bed she was in. Heavy drapes over the widows to her left. The décor, to her surprise, was exactly her taste. She carefully turned to drop her legs over the side of the bed. She had a slight headache but other then that she felt all right. Putting her hand to her head she closed her eyes for a moment.

"Oh thank god your awake."

Alexis' head snapped up at the voice and tears quickly welled in her eyes. "Kristina!"

The redhead rushed over to her sister and threw her arms around her. "I was starting to worry. I didn't know if what they gave you was something that would harmed the baby or not."

"We're fine." Alexis said as she held her sister as close as she could get her. As if to confirm what Alexis said the baby kicked. "You're the one we were worrying about. Kristina, what the hell is going on? Where are we? How long have you been here?"

Kristina pulled away a little. "I don't know what's going on or where we are. All I know is that some man snuck into my hotel room in Memphis, put something over my nose and mouth, and when I woke up I was in a bedroom here." Then she pulled something out of her shirt. "And I was wearing my medallion."

Alexis' hand went up to her own chest and sure enough there was her medallion under her shirt. "What the hell?"

"The kids aren't wearing one." Kristina told her sister.

Before what Kristina said really clicked Alexis said, "They don't have theirs yet. They'll get them on their eighteenth birthdays. Stefan got overly excited and gave you yours early. Cassadine tradition says that the medallion is presented on…" She finally stopped rambling when it finally sunk in. "Sam and Nikolas are here?"

Kristina nodded. "The bedrooms on either side of this one. I'm across the hall. Alexis, they're all decorated like they were meant for us."

Alexis rushed out of the room and to the room to the left of hers. Nikolas was asleep on a large bed, and just as Kristina said it fit his taste. The next room was Sam's and it to was set up as if she'd decorated it herself. Alexis rushed over to her sleeping daughter and gathered her up in her arms. As she cradled Sam in her arms she looked up at her sister. "You've been here for days, Kristina, have you seen or talk to anyone?"

"The servants." Kristina answered. "They won't tell me what's going on, but they have been treating me like I was the lady of the house or something" The redhead sat beside her sister as she added, "They keep calling me princess."

"Now that I think about it the man who snatched me called me by title too." Alexis said with a frown. She thought about it for a few minutes and then said, "Well, at least we know it's not Helena. Her people would never address us that way and she wouldn't go out of her way to retrieve our medallions." She shivered. "They where in our home, they went through our things." Then she sighed as she asked, "Have you had a chance to look around? Where are we?"

Kristina shook her head. "I haven't been out of this wing, but I have looked outside, we're not in Port Charles any more Toto."

Alexis continued to hold Sam and caress her baby's hair. "What have you heard? What are the servants speaking?"

"Russian, Greek, and English." Kristina answered. "One or two spoke something I haven't heard before."

"Well that doesn't tell us much." Alexis said with a sigh. Her thoughts were going to fast to focus on, her emotions were on a roller coaster, but she was trying like hell to sort this all out. "Whatever this is it's all Cassadine." Then she had a thought. "Stefan? Is Stefan here?"

Kristina shook her head. "Just us and the kids."

Alexis grew quiet as she thought this all through. Finally after what seemed like forever she told her sister, "Go wake up Nikolas. I want to have a look around and I don't want any of you out of my sight."

Kristina nodded and left the room.

"Sammie." Alexis said gently as she ran her fingertips down her daughter's cheeks. "Sammie, baby, you need to wake up for Mommy. Come on my love it's time to wake up." Alexis continued to caress Sam's face, placing kisses on her face, and patting her thighs and bottom. Slowly Sam began to come around. "That's it Sammie. Wakey wakey."

"gowayfivemoremintuesiwannasl eepyousuck." Sam mumbled as she tried to get out of her mother's arms and snuggle back into the bed.

Alexis couldn't help but chuckle. "I know you want to sleep baby but you need to wake up, Sammie. Mommy really needs you to wake up."

Sam's big brown eyes fluttered open and she frowned at her mom. At first the frown was because she'd been woken up, but then it all started to come back to Sam and the frown was from her confusion. Then the panic and fear set in. "Mommy?"

"It's alright baby." Alexis said as she cuddled Sam.

Sam sat up and rubbed her face as she remembered what happened. "Someone grabbed me coming out of my bedroom." She gasped and looked up wide eyes. "Ingrid! Did they hurt Ingrid?"

"I don't know baby." Alexis replied as she cuddled her little girl a little more tightly.

"Aunt Alexis!" Nikolas said as he came into the room and straight over to his aunt and cousin.

Alexis put her arm around her nephew and hugged him. "Are you alright?"

"Yes, a little groggy but other wise fine." Nikolas answered.

Then she looked down at Sam. "What about you baby? How do you feel?"

Sam took a moment to think it over before saying, "I'm ok."

"Good." Alexis said with a nod. "Now lets see if we can figure out where we are."

Back in Port Charles Jax was waiting on the docks. Stefan had gone into a kind of single-minded obsessive mode that wouldn't allow Jax in to help him look for their family. Which was probably for the best because the two men had such different styles, and because they knew so little about what was going on that coming at it from two different angles might be more helpful.

"Hey little brother." Jerry said as he came up to Jax and embraced him.

"I'm glad you came so quickly, Jerry." Jax replied. "I need to find my girls."

"Of course I came." Jerry said as he and Jax stood face to face. "And we will find them."

Jax nodded and then quickly filled Jerry in on what they knew though it wasn't much. He explained that Kristina was the first one taken, that Alexis was taken from the hospital, Sam from their home, and Nikolas from the stables on Spoon Island. He gave him as many details as they had, and then said, "It was professional all the way. I think it was Helena."

Jerry shook his head. "No. It wasn't Helena."

"How do you know that?" Jax asked, his voice raising. "You can't know that for sure, Jerry, and she'd be sick and twisted enough to do it! She tried taking Sam once before!"

"I know for certain it wasn't Helena." Jerry reassured his brother as he put his hand on the younger man's shoulder.

Jax glared at him. "How do you know that for sure?"

Jerry smirked. "Because for the last two years Helena has been in a nursing home in Papua New Guinea suffering from stroke like symptoms."

"What?" Jax asked as he blinked. "Wait, stroke like… Jerry what did you do?"

Jerry shrugged. "Mum called me. She was concerned about Alexis and Sam. I took care of it."

"Are you sure she's still there?" Jax asked after several minutes of processing what his brother had just told him.

Jerry nodded. "I checked on my way here. She's still in her private room over looking the best view, unable to speak, and drooling happily while clenching and unclenching the fist on her right side, since her left doesn't work so well."

"Jerry!" Jax chastised.

"What?" Jerry said innocently. "She's fine, Jax, there shouldn't be any lasting effects."

"How?" Jax said with a shake of his head.

Jerry smirked again. "That's for me to know little brother and you not to worry about. I'm not going to let the old cow threaten our family."

Jax sighed as he ran his hand through his hair. "Then I'm completely at a loss. I have no idea who has them. We need to find them Jerry. Alexis only has a few weeks left on her pregnancy."

"We will find them. Now, come on." Jerry said with a jerk of his head. "Lets go have a look at the lakehouse. It's a place to start."

Meanwhile Stefan was at Windermere barking orders at his men while speaking to someone on the phone. He had recourses that the police did not and he planned on using every single one. He would find his family and he would punish whoever dared to take them. He was so caught up in doing what he was doing he didn't notice that one of his men was watching him carefully, and also being mindful of just how much information he was getting. Stefan just had to wait and Boris was going to make sure he did.
