Chapter 1


Twenty five year old Georgie Quartermaine kneeled down by the sandbox in the old park and smiled at her three year old daughter Carmen. Carmen had short curly dirty blonde hair and deep brown eyes just like dillon and Georgie. She was very quiet and smart just like georgie and had the same priceless facial expressions as dillon. She was everything that they could have ever wished for in a child.

Dillon and Georgie had gotten married when they both were 19 years old and they were so incredibly happy with their lives. Dillon got a job at ELQ until he could get himself started as a film director. Georgie had started law school and had become a secretary for Justus and when she graduated law school she would be a lawyer at his firm. They seemed to have the perfect life and then Georgie got pregnant and everything was even more perfect. They went through the tough and good times together through those nine months and ended up having one of the best times of their lives. But tradgedy struck when Georgie gave birth on October 3. Everything seemed fine at first and they went to the hospital ready to get a beautiful baby girl but their hearts were broken into millions of pieces when the baby was still born. They had cried and cried for weeks afterwards. Together they had went thorough nine months of pain and happiness all for nothing. Their baby girl had died before she even had a chance to see the world. They named her Angel Gracie Quartermaine and she was buried at Port Charles cemetary. After dillon and georgie had gotten over their heartache a year later georgie got pregnant once again with another baby girl and gave birth to her nine months later. She was alive and healthy and weighed six pounds 5 ounces. They named her Carmen Kelly Quartermaine. Carmen was after the Opera that was georgies favorite and Kelly was after Grace Kelly Dillons favorite actress. Their lives had been so much more fun and exciting with Carmen and they had been more happy then every before.

" well honey we probably should get home soon daddys cooking dinner and its getting kind of dark." Georgie said to the little girl.

Carmen sat there and kept playing with the sand and Georgie smiled. She heard a twig snap behind her and she turned around to look. She scanned through the woods with her eyes and wondered what had made that sound.

" It was probably just an animal. " she thought to herself.

Georgie turned back around to the sandbox and Carmen was not there. Her heart skipped a beat.

" Carmen! where are you?" She asked walking around the park.

She checked behind bushes and the playground equipment but still could not find her.

" Carmen honey you scaring me! Please come out. Mommy doesnt want to play hide and go seek." She yelled her voice cracking with fear.

Suddenly something caught her eye on a twig of a branch and she walked over to see what it was. She picked it off and saw it was part of Carmens pink dress. Georgie also found to her horror a few trickles of blood on the ground and tree as the first few drops of rain fell from the sky.

Chapter 2


Georgie clutched the piece of her daughters dress that had been on the branch of the bush. She screamed at the top of her lungs and broke down into sobs.

" My baby!" She screamed.

With tears blurring her vision she got up and walked deliriously through the woods searching everywhere for her missing daughter. God how she wished that this was just some sick joke and her daughter was not gone forever; but she knew that no one could be this sick to play some kind of joke like this. making her think that her daughter had been kidnapped and killed. Suddenly she heard a twig snap behind her and she turned around and fell into the arms of Lucky. He was one of her best friends and had always been there for her.

" Oh my God Georgie whats wrong? I heard you scream from two blocks away." he said.

" Lucky, shes gone my daughter is gone! Someone took her from me and I found her torn dress and blood stains over there.' She said pointing behind them.

" Oh God." she heard him mutter. ' Georgie come with me I will get you in the police car then I will come back here and see if I can find anything.

' No! I dont want to leave I need to find my daughter now!" She screamed.

" Georgie listen to me the person who took her could be dangerous and if I find them then it could get bad and I will not risk letting you get hurt. Okay?" He stated.

Georgie knew that it was no use fighting with Lucky he would always be the one to get his way.

" Fine." she said crying.

Lucky quickly took her hand and walked her to the car letting her in the passenger side and making her lock the door before he went back to the woods.
-------------------------------------------------------

Lucky pulled out his gun and made his way slowly back into the woods. He prayed silently that the little girl Carmen would be okay. He remembered when Georgie had given birth to the still born baby how heart breaking it had been for Dillon and Georgie. When they had had Carmen they had been so happy and thankful for the baby and her health. Carmen was the sweetest little girl and reminded him a lot of Lulu when she was a little baby. How could someone do this to a child, take them away from their families and hurt them. How could someone be cold enough to do that to something so innocent? He didnt know but he knew that no matter what he would find this child.

He turned a corner and stared at the ground noticing something shiny. He bent down and found it was more blood. Not that much but enough that if you kept losing blood like that you could possibly die.

" Oh God." He whispered and walked forward his hand on the trigger ready to pull it at any moment.

He looked behind the bushes where the blood seemed to be leading and found nothing. He sighed thankful he didnt find a dead child. Lucky kept walking and eventually the blood stopped and there was no trace of anyone left. After about a half an hour went by he turned around and headed back to the car.

" Did you see anything?" Georgie asked frantically when he got in the car.

" No just some blood but not a lot and it stopped." He replied

" Well what are you going to do?" she asked.

" We are going to go to the police station and file a report and then send search teams out to look for Carmen." Lucky said and turned the car on and started to drive.
-------------------------------------------------------

They walked into the police station together and Lucky started talking to all these different cops telling them to get forensics and search teams out to the park at once.


Mac walked out of his office and instantly ran over to Georgie.

" Oh my God. Honey what happened?" Mac asked.

" Someone took Carmen at the park shes gone I dont know what to do." She cried into Macs arms.

" Oh." He barely whispered. " Lucky are you doing something about this?" Mac asked.

' Yes sir Ive got forensics and our search teams heading out there at once." Lucky replied.

' Good, I want the media out here to. I want to make a statement as soon as possible. We will get her back as fast as we can." Mac said.

Lucky nodded.

'Georgie I think you need to call Dillon as soon as you can he needs to come out here too."

" He'll hate me though. Its my fault our babys gone. She said crying.

" Georgie its not your fault and dillon would never hate you. He really needs to know Georgie." Mac said reassuringly.

He took her into the backroom and handed her the phone.

" Hello." Dillon said.

" Dillon I- I"
-------------------------------------------------------

Lucky started on paperwork so many thoughts running through his head he could barely think straight. Then she walked in.

She was his soon to be ex-wife. he didnt know where they had gone wrong. He loved her more than anything and he always would. She had brought up the subject of divorce and it had tooken him by suprise and broke his heart. He had later agreed because whatever she wanted he would give her. He figured it was because he worked so many hours and wasnt home enough for her. It would be much better for her but he couldnt help but hate the divorce and he had planned to do whatever he could to win her back but he doubted it would ever happen.

" Hi lucky." she said.

" hi Maxie."

Chapter 3


" Lucky is something wrong?" Maxie asked sensing something was wrong.

He shook his head yes.

" What is it?" She asked him.

" Maxie you are going to need to sit down. I have to tell you something really bad."
------------------------------------------------------------

" Hello." Dillon said at the end of the reciever.

" Dillon I- I need to tell you something."

" Okay honey what is it?" He asked.

Georgie hesitated for a moment and almost broke down into tears.

" please dont hate me." She whispered.

" Georgie I would never hate you." He said softly.

" When me and Carmen were at the park she was playing in the sandbox and I heard something behind me so I looked for like 5 seconds and when I turned around she was just gone. I started to get scared and started looking around and there was blood on the ground and Lucky found me in the woods and looked for her but he couldnt find her and now they have search teams out for her and everything. I'm so sorry Dillon Im so sorry." She said all in one breath.

Dillon was silent on the other line. He didnt fully understand what his wife was saying to him or better yet it hadnt fully hit him yet. There daughter was gone? Could that be true? How could someone take her from them so viciously. Blood on the ground? Was it their babys blood? Was she dead? Suddenly it hit him full force and everything started to spin.

" Are you there Dillon?" She asked crying.

" yes Im here. So are you saying that someone kidnapped our child?"

"Yes. Im so sorry Dillon this is all my fault and now our baby is gone and I dont know where she could be I mean what if shes gone forever Dillon? What are we gonna do?" She asked as calmly as she could.

" Georgie, it isnt your fault and dont worry everything will probably turn out okay. Mac will do everything he can to get our baby back." He said trying to clear his voice of all the doubt." You are at the police station right?"

" Yes."

" Okay Georgie I will be down there in 5 minutes okay?"

"Okay." She whispered." I love you.

" I love you too."
------------------------------------------------------------

Maxie sat down and lucky sat down in the chair right across from her. Lucky took her hand and she almost pulled away but relutantly kept her hand in his.

" Maxie, I have some bad news." Lucky said quietly.

" Got any good news?" She asked.

He shook his head slightly.

" Maxie, Carmen was kidnapped." He said quietly.

A look of shock fell over Maxies face and tears started to blur her eyes.

" Wait, Georgie and Dillons Carmen? She was kidnapped? How could that happen Lucky? How could that even be possible?"

" Georgie and Carmen were at the park and she looked away for a split second and she was just gone. I found some blood in the woods Maxie, and it doesnt look so good."

Tears fell down maxies face and she reached for Lucky crying into his shoulder.

" Why did this happen?" She cried.

" I dont know Maxie I really dont know."

Lucky held Maxie as she cried and saw Dillon walk in frantically looking around. Dillon spotted Lucky comforting a crying Maxie and Lucky nodded his head in the direction of the interrogation room.
------------------------------------------------------------

Dillon walked into the room and stood in front of his wife,
father in law, and two other police officers ready to face the horror his life was about to become.

Chapter 4


Georgie ran into Dillons arms and he hugged her tightly and rubbed her back as she sobbed into him.

" Shh baby its okay. Everything is gonna be alright." He whispered into her ear.

' Dillon we are gonna need you and Georgie to file a missing person report for Carmen." Mac said.

Dillon nodded.

" Are there people out there looking for her?" He asked.

" Yes I have as many people as I can out there. Hopefully forensics will come back with results very soon and we will find her as soon as possible." Mac replied.

" Good."

" Well I am going to go get the report and I will give you and Georgie some time to talk." He said motioning for the two other officers to follow him.

" Okay." Dillon replied as Mac and the other two officers walked out of the room.
------------------------------------------------------------

Lucky handed Maxie some tissues for her to wipe her eyes.It was just like Lucky to take care of her, he was always there for her when she needed him. It was a shame that they had to get a divorce because she still loved him very much. It was just that he was never home and she rarely had a chance to speak to him one on one. There was no romance or communication in her relationship anymore and she knew no matter how hard she tried their love was nothing but a dead end road. All her and Lucky were now were to people who lived in the same house and loved each other a lot but barely ever showed it.

" Is Georgie here?" Maxie asked.

" Yes she is in the other room with Dillon but I think we need to give them some time alone. But you can talk to her in a few minutes." Lucky replied." Hey did you walk over here?"

" Yes."

" Okay well if you wait here for a while I will drive you home. Its not really safe out there."

" Okay." She nodded.
------------------------------------------------------------

Mac walked into his office and put his head in his hands. Why did this have to happen? Everything seemed to go wrong in his daughters lives and now this was the worst thing. Sometimes he wondered why God did this to his children. More obstacles to cross and more heartaches than good things but maybe it would all turn out good in the end.

He looked over at the phone one his desk and knew he had to call Felicia. Ever since Mariah had died she had stayed over in Texas and worked as a private investagator. She had found a new boyfriend and was helping him raise his two daughters. It wasnt right in his opinion. She had two beautiful girls over here who she barely ever saw and had missed so much of their lives so she could be in Texas with her deadbeat boyfriend.

Mac picked up the phone and dialed her number.

" Hello." Felicia said.

" Hi Felicia, something has happened.
------------------------------------------------------------

" Dillon I am so sorry." Georgie said sobbing.

" Its okay baby its not your fault." He said kissing the top of her head." Your dad will find Carmen and then we will all be back together again."

" But what if shes de-" Dillon cut her off.

" Baby dont even think like that she will not die. You just have to have faith." He said cupping her face.

She nodded and wiped the tears that fell down her cheeks.

" Im sure Mac and Lucky and everyone will do everything that they can to find her."

"Your right but I still, I cant live without her." Georgie said crying once more.

" I know I can either." He said quietly as he wrapped his arms around his sobbing wife and held her wondering where in the world his daughter was.
------------------------------------------------------------

The three year old girl sat on a chair in an old cabin the woods. She played with some toys that lay scattered on the floor around her. She looked up at the man sitting on the bed across the room.

" I want my mommy and daddy." She said calmly.

He laughed as he watched television.

" Dont worry kid you wont be alone for very long, not very long at all."

Chapter 5

Maxie sat at Luckys desk and played around with her hair and hands thinking about everything that was happening. She looked up at Lucky who was busy talking to other officers and giving orders. She smiled slightly remembering the day her and Lucky had really met, the day he saved her life.


Maxie screamed at the top of her lungs trying to push the man off of her. He had broken into her house and was attacking her. She would not let him rape her though she would never allow that to happen at least not today, not right now. She had picked up the phone and dialed 911 but hadnt said anything because he had instantly jumped on her. She prayed to God that 911 would track her address and get the police over to her house.

" No!" She screamed." Get the hell off of me!"

Suddenly she heard footsteps running up the stairs and into her bedroom. There were 3 cops in her room and one of them held a gun towards the man.

" Get off of her right now or I will shoot." The officer said.

The man lifted his hands and stood up off the bed.

" Okay, okay." He said surrenduring.

Another officer cuffed him and started to read him his rights as 2 of the officers took him out of the room.

Lucky who was the officer that held the gun came over to her.

" Are you okay Maxie?" He asked.

She shook her head no and started to cry.

" Shh its okay now." He said soothingly.

He wrapped his jacket around her body and picked her up off of the bed and carried her out to his car to take her to the hospital.
-------------------------------------------------------

Dillon and Georgie sat in a small room in the police station and looked down at the missing persons report sitting in front of them.


" Its so weird filling this out. I never thought that this would ever happen to us." Dillon said quietly.

" It shouldnt have, it shouldnt happen to anybody. How can someone be so heartless that they can take a baby from their parents?" She said angerly.

" I know Georgie I know."

" I hate having to fill this out saying all these things about her and trying to help get her back when half the time it wont even happen."

" Georgie, you have to listen to me. We are going to do everything to get our daughter back and no matter how long it takes I will never stop looking for her."

" I wont either." Georgie replied sadly.

He put an arm around her shoulder and kissed her cheek.

" We will find her no matter what happens. I promise you this." He said.

She nodded and blinked away all the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes.
-------------------------------------------------------

Lucky looked over at Maxie who was looked lost in thought. He wanted more than anything to go up to her and comfort her, to promise her that he was going to do everything to find Carmen even if it took a lifetime. She looked up at him and smiled with sadness in her eyes. He smiled back and mouthes to her " It will be okay"

He knew there may still be hope for their marriage to work and he would do everything that he could to make them get back together. He remebered the first time he told her he loved her he had been so scared she wouldnt say she loved him too but she did and that was one of the happiest days of his life.

Maxie and Lucky walked through the park holding hands. It was late at night and the only thing that showed them where they were walking was the moon. Maxie stopped for a moment and looked up at the moon and smiled.

" Its so beautiful." She said softly.

" So are you."

She blushed and rested her head back against his chest.

" Maxie?"

" Yeah."

" I love you." Lucky said praying to God she would say the same.

She paused for a moment and a smile spread across her face.

" I love you too Lucky."------------------------------------------------------
Dillon and Georgie walked out of the room and Maxie ran
up to her sister and hugged her tightly.They both cried in each others shoulders.

" Georgie Im so so sorry."Maxie cried.

" Thankyou." Georgie said in between sobs.

" Its gonna be okay though Lucky and Mac will find her."
Maxie said trying to be strong.

Georgie nodded. Maxie pulled back and pulled Dillon into a hug.

This was the first time that Dillon had allowed himself to cry. He had held it in and tryed to be strong for Georgie but he couldnt do it anymore. He broke down and after Maxie let go Georgie wrapped her arms around him and they cried together.

Maxie walked over to Lucky.

" Lucky you know how you always keep your promises to me?" She asked.

" Yes."

" Well will you promise me one thing?"

" Anything."

" Will you promise me you will find their baby?"

" I promise you Maxie I will find her if its the last thing I do." He said looking into her eyes and hugging her.

chapter 6


Dillon and Georgie were in their car driving home from the police station. Both of them were mentally and phiscally exhausted. Everything seemed to be going wrong and it seemed like it was getting worse by the minute. Dillon stared over at Georgie whos eyes seemed to be searching through the woods they drived by to see if there was any trace of their daughter. Neither of them spoke a word each of them afraid to break the silence. They were afraid that maybe if they said something or talked about it that it would become real, that it would really be happening instead of being just one horrible nightmare. Dillon pulled into the driveway and turned the car off, gripping the steering wheel.

" Are you ready to go in?" He asked.

" I guess." She said softly. " Im afraid if I go in that house and shes not there than this will be real and we might never see our baby again."

" Me too." He whispered.

" Who could do this? Who could be so cruel and heartless to do this to a child?" She asked.

" Im not sure baby." He said tears forming once again at his eyes.

She leaned her head against the window and wanted to scream but instead she rested her head in her hands.

" I guess we should go in now." She said quietly.

He nodded and slowly opened the door and walked around the car to open hers. She took his hand and together they walked inside of the empty house.

Baby toys lay scattered on the floor at there feet. The house was dark and lonely as if it knew what was happening, as if it to was also missing something. Out the back french doors the sun had already set and night was falling. Georgie and Dillon stood in the doorway not sure exactly what they should do or how they would make it through the night.
-------------------------------------------------------

Maxie stood in the bathroom in her pajamas. Her body shook slightly as she stared down at the sink. She felt like she could throw up. Georgie and Dillon's baby had been kidnapped and she was in the middle of a divorce that was breaking her heart into peices and now this. A tear fell from her eye and she held onto the sink for fear of collapsing. All of this was to much pressure for her and she wasnt sure if she could take it anymore. She picked up the object laying on the sink and looked at it again making sure it was right. Sure, she had always wanted this but now was not the time, now was the worst time this ever could have happened. A soft sob escaped her throat and then the tears rushed down like rain. Lucky walked into the bathroom and a look of fear rushed onto her face. He stared at her and at what she was holding and shock fell over him.

" Oh my god Maxie, your pregnant."

[JRK Archiver]

chapter 7


" Maxie your-your pregnant?" Lucky asked shakily.

She nodded slightly tears forming in her eyes.

" Well am I um the father?" He asked not sure what to believe.

She nodded again.

" Remeber that night when we were both kind of drunk and we slept together?"

" Yes." He whispered now realizing how this could be his child.

" Well that was when I got pregnant and now i dont know what to do because we are getting a divorce." She said now with tears falling down her cheeks.

" We always wanted a baby." He said softly.

" That was when we were still in love with each other." She said crying.

" Im still in love with you Maxie."
-------------------------------------------------------

Dillon walked up the stairs looking around for Georgie. Every room was dark except the babys room where he could see dim light under the door. He was afraid of what he would see when he opened the door. She would probably be in their sobbing with her dead eyes that longed for their child. He wasnt sure how to comfort her, what words he should say to assure her that everything would be alright when he wasnt sure if it would ever be alright again. He slowly opened the door to find her rocking slowly back and forth in the rocking chair holding a teddy bear to her chest. Her cheeks were stained with tears and her eyes were bloodshot. She lifted her eyes and stared directly into his.

" Usually at this time we would be tucking her into bed." She whispered.

Dillon nodded knowingly.

" And now we will probably never get to do it again." She said her voice cracking.

" No, no Georgie please dont say that." He said feeling the tears rush to his eyes.

" Why not? Someone took her from us and now we will probably never see her again. Havent you seen all of those pictures of missing children? It seems like they never find them years later so why should we be any different?" She said now tears running full force down her cheeks.

" I dont know but you cant give up now Georgie. She needs us. Carmen needs us. And I need you." He said sobbing.

" I need you too." She said sobbing running into his arms.

She buried her head in his chest and his arms wrapped around her holding her tightly both of them sobbing. They slid slowly to the floor crying both of them staying that way the entire night trying to find some comfort in each others arms.

[JRK Archiver]

Georgie sat alone in the park on the edge of the sandbox, the place where she had last seen her daughter. She wondered where Carmen was and if she was okay. Lately she had tried to stop thinking about where her daughter was because usually she ended up thinking that she could be lying in a ditch or a creek somewhere like in all the movies. She knew she shouldn't keep having these horrible thoughts about what had happened and she should be hopeful. How could she have hope though when her daughter was in the hands of a physco? Suddenly a mother and daughter walked hand and hand into the park. Georgie smiled slightly remembering all the times she had with Carmen and how much she loved and missed her. Her eyes teared up and she quickly walked to her car before she burst into sobs.
------------------------------------------------------

Dillon sat in the computer chair waiting for the internet to load. He hated the computer and how long it took took to do things. Usually he wasn't as frustrated but now every little thing that went wrong mad him mad. He knew he should stay patient and keep a level head but it was hard when his life had spun out of control. His daughter had been kidnapped and Georgie was distant and hardly spoke to him anymore. it had been two weeks since Carmen went missing and everyday that went by he lost more and more hope. Lucky had tried to reassure him that they would find her but it wasnt working at all.
A car suddenly pulled in his driveway and he stood up and walked outside wondering who it could be. As the car stopped in front of the house and the door opened he was shocked at who he saw get out of the car.
-------------------------------------------------------

Maxie rested on her knees in the tiny garden she was growing. She had recently taken up gardening to take her mind off of things and keep herseelf calm and stress free. The stress wasnt good for the baby and the last thing she could deal with right now was having anything wrong with the baby. She had so many desicions to make about her life that it overwhelmed her. she didn't know wether or not to stay with Lucky and try to make everything work out. She knew she still loved Lucky but his life was to much for her to take. then she also had Dillon, Georgie, and Carmen to worry about. All of their lives were falling apart and she wondered why it was all happening to them. They were good people and things like this shouldnt happen to good people. She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply when a hand grabbed her around the mouth and held a knife to her throat.

" Scream and I'll kill you."
-------------------------------------------------------

"Maxie are you home?" Lucky called out through the silence.

No one answered back and he figured she must have been shopping or something. He sat the mail down on the table and found a small note folded up beside it.

Mr. Spencer,

Would you like to play a little game? I have your wife and you niece. Both are alive for now and you can save them but you will have to wait for my next note or phone call to get the first clue where to find them. You will have two weeks to find them and if not they will both die.

Chp 9


" Felicia?" Dillon said with his mouth hanging wide open.

" Hi Dillon." She said with a sad smile on her face.

He was dumbfounded he hadnt seen this woman since him and Georgie were married 6 years ago. She hadnt even been there to see the birth of either of their children so he was shocked that she had come back now.

" I cant believe your here."

" Well this is the worst thing that has happened to my daughter and I think I need to be here for her now." She said stepping onto the porch.

Suddenly he was filled with anger and resentment. Yes, this was the worst thing that had happened so far but it could all turn out to be okay. And where was she when their baby was born dead? Where was she when they had the funeral for their daughter and both of their hearts were broken?

" well I just wasn't expecting to see you thats all." He said doing his best to hide his anger.

" Georgie's my daughter and I need to be here for her, plus I am a private detective so i will be able to help the police department find this bastard who took my grandchild."

He almost started laughing. How could she call herself a grandmother when she hadnt even seen Carmen. He found over the years that Felicia was almost as bad as his own mother. She was never there even when her daughters needed her the most and she had sort have disowned them in her own way. She only came back when there was a terrible crisis that could be helped by a private investigator. If there was some work for her then she would come running.

" She's not here right now she went grocery shopping or something."

" Well I will wait then if it's okay."

" Yeah it's fine, just please when she gets back dont do anything to upset her she's hurting bad enough as it is." He said.

" I would never do anything to hurt my daughter." She said as she walked past him into the house.

Dillon rolled his eyes wondering if she knew how much she already had hurt her.


Suddenly the world started spinning and Lucky quickly sat down. He read the note over again twice making sure he had understood correctly. Tears fell from his eyes and he started to shake.

" Please God no!" He whispered.

He had two weeks to find his wife, niece, and unborn child or all 3 would die. It seemed impossible that he could do that but he knew even though his world was quicky falling apart that he would have to do it. He quickly stood up and rushed to the door so he could get down to the police station but as he opened the door he saw a small figure standing in front of him their face hidden by the darkness.


Maxie was thrown into the darkness of a small cabin. She was tied up all the way down and her mouth was covered with tape. Tears were rolling down her cheeks and she was terrified the man was going to kill her.

" Alright now listen, you are gonna be here for a while unless I decide it's time to leave. If you try to get out be sure I will kill you. Your husband will probably be trying to find you soon. I have given him two weeks to find you and if he doesnt find you, you die." He said. " Okay now I am going out for a while I will see you later but dont think your gonna be able to get out I've locked all the doors and windows. So you just need to sit tight for a while till I get back."

He walked out the door and she heard him lock it behind him from the outside. When he closed the door she broke down into sobs. She knew they were pretty far out in the woods somewhere and Lucky would probably never find her. She cried for what seemed like hours and was almost asleep on the floor when she heard a soft cry from the other side of the room.

Chapter 10


Lucky strained his eyes through the darkness trying to see who was there.

" Hi Lucky is Maxie here?" A small voice he recognized as Georgies squeaked.

" Oh god." He thought. What was he going to say to her, how could he tell her that Maxie was also kidnapped. How could he break that news to Georgie when he couldnt even bare to believe it himself.

" Um Georgie why dont you come to the police station with me okay? It's dark and you shouldnt be out here alone.

" Okay..." She said with a slight questioning in her voice.

He took her hand and they quickly walked to the car. As he climbed in he stuck the folded up note on a tissue hoping there might be some fingerprints on it. Georgie stared at intently at him as they drove. He wondered if she knew something was wrong. Suddenly she screamed at the top of her lungs and he swerved the car and slammed into a tree.
-------------------------------------------------------
Dillon sat at the computer with felicia behind him on the couch.

" So how are your step daughters doing?" He asked hoping to make her angry.

" They are fine and their names are Mandy and Sandy." She said sounding slightly annoyed.

" How clever."

Suddenly the phone rang and he quickly picked it up.

" Hello."

" Hello is this Dillon Quartermaine?" A female voice asked.

" Yes who is this?"

" This is nurse Jenkins and I am calling from General Hospital, there has been an accident with your brother in law and your wife."

" Oh my god are they okay?" He asked frantically.

" Yes it was a small car accident and they have some bumps and bruises and Mrs. Quartermaine has a concussion so we are going to keep her over night."

" Okay thank you."

" Sure." The woman said and hung up.

" dammit." Dillon whispered as he hung up the phone.

" Whats wrong?" Felicia asked.

" Georgie and Lucky were in an accident and their at the hospital."

" Oh my God. Well lets go." She said grabbing her coat.

Dillon quickly followed her out the door and slammed it shut behind him.
-------------------------------------------------------
Maxie suddenly sat up and listened to the soft crying across the room. She quickly bent her head down to her legs and tried to tear off the tape. It took a few minutes for her to finally rip it off but she finally did.

" whos there?" She asked.

" Mommy?" The small voice called out.

" Oh my God Carmen!" She practically screamed. " Carmen is that you?"

" Is that you mommy?" She asked.

" Carmen its your aunt Maxie." She said with tears falling down her face, nowshe felt a glimmer of hope knowing that Carmen was alive.
