Role Playing - GH Next Gen#12 *Somehow we stay in an empty place, We fall down* - Page 15

A little surprised by Chase's response, or more so the way he said, it Morgan smirked just slightly. "Is that jealousy I detect? My bad, I didn't realize you two were still having issues." He said without sympathy, referring to his (non) relationship with Jamie. Their relationship was similar to the one he's had with Michael over the years but at least in their case they've almost always managed to be civil and come to some sort of compromise if they weren't agreeing about something. They've had their issues in the past but he knows how much Michael cares about him and he's pretty sure Michael knows how much he means to him to. Unlike them, Jamie and Chase don't have that unspoken bond. They probably had it before but they don't anymore and haven't for a long time now. It'd been broken and once a bond like that is broken between two brothers or two close friends, its nearly impossible to repair. Luckily for him he's able to say things have never been that far gone for he and Michael and he truly hoped they never would. 'Why don't you stop ordering me around first?' As he answered his question with another question, Morgan let out a small groan resisting the urge to roll his eyes. Right now he'd give anything to be roaming the halls searching for his loved ones with Jamie..Or even Michael. Someone who wasn't determined to do things the hard way. At this point he'd take anyone over Chase.

Instead of calling his brother to see if Constance or Laura had found him yet like Morgan had asked, he started calling out their names. 'Jamie! Constance! Laura! Come out come out wherever you are.' Pulling out a gun in case they ran into any trouble, Morgan began shaking his head when their was no answers from anyone only silence. "For God sake’s just call him this place is huge they could be anywhere." He yelled, aggravated by his stubbornness. He's only really been around Chase a few times here and there but every time they do have an encounter, like they were now, it becomes more and more clear to him why his brother hates him so much..And why it's so hard for Jamie to get along with him too. It amazes him how long his sister has been able to stay married to him. But maybe it shouldn't. After all she gave up her family for this man. She didn't lose everyone but she lost enough. Morgan's never really judged her or punished her for the choices she made no matter how much he disliked them. Hope still adores her because she's too young to understand but since she lives in New York city with Jason and Sam they don't get to see ach other often.

Unfortuantely things would more than likely never be the same between Constance and Jason because of who she married and as for Michael..Well he was pretty certain his older brother would never be able to forgive their sister. Not for marrying his enemy but for staying with him after everything that happened with Natalie. Rounding another corner, Morgan let out a heavy sigh. Still they weren't finding anyone. If he wasn't worried before he certainly was now. He had to find Molly and his family. "If your not going to use it than give me the damn thing." Morgan finally snapped, frustrated. Who wouldn't be though? The man had one of the only working cell phones if not the only one and he couldn't even be bothered to use it? Constance and Laura could be in danger. And Molly and Kristina..He needed to find them and start evacuating them and everyone else off the island. If Chase didn't either use the phone soon or hand it over to him Morgan had no qualms about taking it from him.

Before he could do just that he was distracted by a noise. Morgan stopped dead in his tracks, grabbing Chase's arm in front of him to stop him too. "Wait..Did you hear that?" He asked as he looked around them while his brother in law had the good sense to stay silent. Morgan knew any second Chase would change that and start asking what the hell he was talking about so he had to use the silence to his advantage. Too bad everything around them within a 1 foot radius was pitch black. Wasn't helping matters. Thinking it must have been nothing he moved to continue on his way when he heard yet another noise. It was the very distinct sound of a gun behind cocked. He saw it wasn't Chase and knew it wasn't him which meant there was only one thing it could be. They were being watched. Morgan had a good idea who was watching the, whom meaning the people who were behind this, the only question was..How many? How many eyes were watching them? How many loaded guns were pointed at them ready to be unloaded?

Without having barely any time to react at all, Morgan looked over to Chase to nod that they needed to find cover when he saw a pin point sized red dot flashing across the back of Chase's black head of hair. He took a second to follow the laser and spotted the man (or more so the gun of the man) preparing to take Chase out. His eyes widened when he saw his finger on the trigger about ready to pull it.Everything happened really fast after that.Morgan sprung forward, "Watch out!" He managed to yell out just before tackling his sisters husband in an attempt to push him out of the line of fire. He might hate the man but that doesn’t change the fact that he's married to his sister or that he Jamie's brother. He could have easily let Chase get gunned down but he wouldn't be Morgan if he did that and he certainly wouldn't be a cop. It's the cop in him that makes him constantly wanna do the right thing even when doing the wrong thing was so much easier sometimes. Scurrying to his feet, Morgan quickly moved with Chase around the corner to use the other side of the wall for cover. Just in time to cause just as they did that a hail of bullets came firing at the exact spot they had just been in. After reloading his gun as fast as the speed of light, Morgan shared a look with Chase before peaking his head around the corner to try and get an idea of how many they were up against. One of them was going to have to go out there and the other was going to have to cover him, that was the only way either one of them stood a chance.

OOC: Natalie and Jack coming hopefully tomorrow..Ridley will com after Reese and Logan/Tommy will after Leigha

OOC: I hope to post tomorrow.

angel_wings05 · 05-19-2009, 09:28 PM

Natalie stayed focused on the man in front of her with her hands still firmly glued to the gun while Ridley scrambled away to get help. The sadistic stranger was no doubt unpredictable and the fact that he seemed like the type of person that didn't care about anything or anyone made him all the more scary..But Natalie wasn't scared of him. By all rights she probably should be but instead she was miraculously calm. She works with Elizabeth Spencer, Ridley's mother, and regardless of the fact they don't always get along..Natalie would never wish any kind of pain on her or her family and seeing him play with Ridley the way he was when she walked in made her downright furious. If Caroline was older and she had been the one being attacked Natalie wouldn't have hesitated to blow his head clean off. Nobody harms her family and gets away with it. Ridley might not be family but she was Michael's family and that man deserved to pay for what he tried to do to her..And most importantly he needed to be stopped before he caused harm to anyone else. 'Guilty as charged.' He answered with a smirk, clearly taking her accusations and insults as a compliment. He made her sick. "So you've been looking for me.." Natalie started, going back to what was said before the young brunette left.

“Should I be flattered?“ Because she wasn’t…Not in the least. Ridley was attacked because she was mistaken for her. This crazy nut job was never after Ridley. Natalie was the intended target. She knew this would happen..That eventually somebody would use her to try and hurt the man she loves. Michael was so convinced his leaving would ensure Caroline and hers safety. That with him gone and away from Port Charles they were out of harms way. The blood thirsty man before her proved otherwise and only furthered her beliefs that she was far safer with Michael than she ever could be without him…And one million times happier too. But he was gone so what did that matter anymore? She had to stop believing the one day he would magically realize he couldn’t be without her and would come back home. 'You do have a gun.' The man pointed out, bringing Natalie back to reality and the potentially bad situation at hand. "Wow you can see..What do you want a prize? Sorry I'm fresh out of handouts." Natalie sneered with a fake smile. Taunting him probably wasn't smart but her impulsive nature couldn't be controlled. She tried to keep her cool when he walked closer, whistling a haunting tune his dark soulless eyes stayed locked on her with a stare so deadly and cold she could almost swear she was looking at the devil himself. 'But guess what? So do I.' He said, pulling out a gun and firing before she had a chance to.

The bullet grazed passed her just barely missing her arm before landing somewhere in the wall behind her. Letting out a deep breath she hadn't realized she was holding, Natalie tightened her hold on her gun even more. 'Still want to play with the big boys Natalie? Last I heard…you make a habit of getting yourself shot. You sure you want that boyfriend of yours to see you bleeding again because of him.' He taunted, stopping no more than two or three free away from her. Natalie shrugged. The last thing she wanted was for him to see his words having an affect on her. She managed to keep her fear under wraps before even fooling herself into believing she wasn't scared but it was getting harder and harder to do that by second. She can't leave Caroline without her mother..She already lost her father. "Michael's gone, why would he care about what happens to me?" Deep down she does believe he still cares about her but this coward doesn't know a damn thing about what she believes and doesn't believe.

“So sorry to rain on your parade..I get that power-tripping animals such as yourself get off on striking fear into women..but I'm not afraid of you. Cause you know what, I’ve known men like you my whole life..I’ve survived far worse than you, you smug son of a bitch..The real question is will you survive me?” Without giving him a chance to respond the very second the words left her mouth she pulled down on the trigger, firing a shot off at him. The bullet hit his arm and wounded him but not enough to stop him. Natalie fired the gun again and again and soon discovered the gun was now shooting blanks. One bullet..Are you freaking kidding me? There was only one bullet in the chamber. Chucking the now worthless gun forcefully at his head, Natalie quickly turned on her heels and ran. The hallway was black as night and she could barely see a foot in front of her but she had to keep going. All she needed was to find a knife, some kind weapon to fend him off with…Or if she could somehow just get his gun away from him. When she spotted the door of some room open up ahead, Natalie dashed inside and quickly scrambled to find something to use to defend herself from the maniac hunting her.

'Okay.' Kristina whispered and from the way she said and even though he barely heard her from the way she said it he knew she'd come with. 'Okay I'll stay with you.' She told him and Jack smiled softly, relieved. Instead of taking his out stretched hand right away Kristina took him by surprise when she all of a sudden pulled a gun from her purse. With a small laugh Jack shook his head in amusement. "Where did that come from?" He asked with a teasing smile, unsure whether to be impressed or worried. 'Let's go.' Once she took his hand Jack began to lead the way down the corridor. He had a sinking suspicion by the time they reached the ballroom it would no longer be safe and decided he'd take her some place else..Whether she liked it or not. Right now what she wanted wasn't really important to him, taking her to safety was his top priority. After a few minutes as they passed the ballroom Jack looked back at Kristina to see her puzzled face. "We're not going there. It might not be safe anymore." He said while he walked with her through the main foyer leading to the entrance.

Opening the door when they got there he peaked his head out and saw it was still pouring down rain. Oh well. A little rain wasn't going to kill them..Staying in the mansion on the other hand very well could. "Come on..Follow me." Jack instructed, taking her hand once again he ran with her outside and led the way to safer ground. The winds were harsh and the rain was cold but he didn't let the angry storm slow him down one bit. He was determined...Something he always is when it comes to Kristina. He wasn't going to let anybody hurt her. When they finally reached the stable doors, Jack let go of her hand to get a better hold on the latch. He struggled for a few seconds before soon getting the latch unstuck and opening the door. He nodded for her to in first. After securely closing the door behind them Jack looked around for another source of light. The little itty bitty flashlight really wasn't doing the job anymore and the light seemed to be dying in it anyways. "Score!" He exclaimed, smiling when he spotted a lantern on a hay stack close by.

Walking over to turn it on and luckily for their sakes the lantern worked. Keeping it on the haystack since it seemed to shine enough light for the part of the barn they were in, Jack ran his hands through his hair and glanced over at Kristina. She was soaking wet with her arms wrapped around herself and shivering like crazy. Removing his suit coat, Jack walked over to her and to put his coat around his shoulders. He made sure it was on good enough, giving her a small smile before soon allowing his arms to fall back to his side. “There..Better?” He asked softly unable to take his eyes off her. He knew they were standing close but he couldn’t bring himself to move away. Caressing her face gently, he used his thumb to wipe away any black make-up from when she was crying. He could kill Cameran for making her cry. “There’s something I’ve wanted to ask you all night..” Jack whispered taking a step back. He let out a deep breath, his eyes never leaving hers as he reached his hand out to her. “Kristina..May I have this dance?”

Shiri S · 05-20-2009, 12:13 AM

"Lainey!" He called out for the fifth time in a minute as he walked around in the dark. She was right there a moment ago then she was gone. What the hell happenened to her?! And why the hell weren't the lights coming back on? Something was going on and he didn't like it. As he continued down the hall way, he was suddenly stopped by a voice he hadn't heard in years.

'It’s been awhile Valmont. Remember me?' Before he could reply, he was head butted and punched in the gut. Letting out a groan, he doubled over and almost fell over when he was pushed away. It took him a few moment to recover and he began standing up, his eyes looking into the darkness at his rival. 'Long way from home aren't ya?..You really should have stayed in Pittsburgh boy'. "And just what the hell are you doing here?" He asked, not even waiting a second before he gave the man a right hook in the jaw.

He barely even him time to react as he slammed him into a near by wall and hitting him again so his head hit the wall hard. "Go back to where you came from. You're not welcome here"

OOC:Gavin coming...I just want to talk to you about something first,Ash.

Leigha followed Logan without saying a word as they met up with Paige and her boyfriend,Tommy.Leigha didn't know the guy very well but he remembered that he used to be friends with her older sister,Molly..though Leigha was only a kid back then.Logan wanted to take her to the stables and check on the boats but Paige made a good point.The boats were probably already gone.This didn't just seem like random accident.This was definitely planned.Leigha didn't know what to think or what to say.Paige told Leigha she was glad she was ok and Leigha smiled.It would probably good of her to say it back but honestly,Paige was like the strongest person she knew,maybe with only someone like Natalie coming behind.The idea of anything ever happening to Paige was kind of crazy.Paige and Tommy were following Leigha and Logan but Paige made it clear she wasn't staying in the stables.Leigha looked over to Logan as she said this.

"So what? I'm supposed to stay there on my own while you run after some crazy murderer and my sisters are nowhere to be found? I'm not the damsel in distress.Either I'm staying in there with someone else or I'm coming with you,"she told her,matter of factly.Leigha used to be a really strong girl.And somewhere down the line,with the rape and her HIV diagnosis,she kind of lost that but she was still that strong girl at heart.She loved Logan but sometimes she thought he forgot that...he thought she was like this beautiful delicate flower when that's not how she saw herself at all.She wasn't going to sit alone in the stables.Either she was coming with Logan to look for her sisters or she was going to have someone else in the stables to distract her.She knew Logan was just trying to protect her but Leigha was saying it like it was.She placed her hands on her hips as they stopped right at the doors to see the boats gone,waiting for Logan's response.

Alex

"Nice one," he replied to Kimber. Their kids would probably get a kick out of that story. Then again, they could be all like if they could find the love of their life by kissing a random stranger, then they could too. It's not really the sort of mindset that someone should have. "I can see that story getting them to sleep at night. It'd be boring to them." he added with a laugh.

TeamLaFox · 05-22-2009, 06:35 AM

Thomas smiled in the dark and tried to get up but collapsed in flase agony. He knew out there wouldn't be safe for Audrey so he had to play this off as best he could. He was pretty sure he was convincing, seeing as how he broke his leg when he was twelve so he knew real pain but he just needed to be sure. He grapsed his ankle and groaned as he laid against the pillows on the bed. "I don't think I can walk. My ankle really hurts." He compained, adding an edge of pain to his voice.

He was now thankful for his wonderful acting skills and the very serious situation they seemed to be in or else he would have started laughing by now. He couldn't imagine how sutpid he looked whining and moaning in agony. "Maybe you should go alone. Although, I'd prefer for you to have someone with you so that you wouldn't get hurt or anything." He said as he pretended to wave her away.

'And just what the hell are you doing here.' His rival sniped back, taking Christian by surprise with a hard punch to his jaw. Before he had a chance to react he was forcefully slammed into the wall. A thud was heard when the back of his head hit the wall followed by an angry growl. Alright..Now he'd gone and done something stupid and pissed him the fuck off. He was a dead man. Deader than he would have been two minutes ago because now Christian was going to make him suffer. He had more than a few ideas of how to do that. "Stupid move junior." Both hands shot forward and tightly grabbed a hold of Valmont's throat. Christian raised him up so his feet was dangling off the ground, choking him until the color was nearly gone from his face. With extreme upper arm strength he roughly tossed the cocky mob prince against the wall making sure it was hard enough to make his bone ache. Spitting out the blood that had accumulated in his mouth, Christian reached into his pocket for his cell while he watched the weakling on the floor gasping for air.

"How ya doing down there? I couldn't help overhear before..You were calling for someone, a girl...Lily, Laura..No those aren't right. It's on the tip of my tongue just give me a second." Christian toyed with him. He remembered the girls name but making Sebastian sweat was too appealing to assist. Looking through the pictures on his cell he searched for the one named Lainey. While he was in the basement messing with the wiring Tiago sent out a text followed by some photos to him and the others involved in the mission. In the message were details and the pictures were off the main targets. One of them just happened to be named Lainey and Christian had a burning feeling that she was the same Lainey he had been calling for. "Lainey..That's it." Smirking, Christian grabbed him by his shirt and raised him up against the wall so they were at eye level. "Is this the Lainey your so desperate to find?" He taunted, holding the phone with her picture on it close to his face. “Damn..Now that’s what a call a fine piece of ass. Not bad Valmont. I don’t think you need to worry about her..”

Pausing for effect he licked his lips and shrugged his shoulders. “She’s only one of the primary targets.” Christian informed him, tightening his hold when he started to struggle. “I’m not going to lie she probably won’t make it through the night..Wouldn’t that be something? Her dying at the hands of your sister..” He marveled at the thought, amused by the irony. His sister was behind tonight’s murderous turn of events. Tiago might have hired him and the others but Kate was the one running the show. “Where is dear old sis? And daddy? Oh that’s right he croaked didn’t he?.” Christian sneered, reaching into his pants pocket trade his cell phone for the switchblade. “Guess your shit out of luck..There ain’t nobody here protect you this time jackass” Revealing the knife, before he had a chance to react Christian plunged the knife into his gut. Gritting his teeth he kept a firm on hold on him (to keep him in place) while he twisted the blade deeper to make things even more painful for him.

OOC: Others coming tomorrow

California_ here_ I _come · 05-24-2009, 06:46 PM

Michael was thankful Molly appeared unharmed. A tad shaken up, but all in one piece. With her driven and collected demeanor, it was unusual for his cousin to be on edge but he didn't question it. Hearing your party guests screaming would induce panic. "How were you seperated from the others?" Michael repeated. If her date had abandoned her Michael would be speaking to the poor son of a bitch later. You never left a woman alone. Michael knew Molly was a far cry from a damnsel in distress, but it was the principal. He listened when she informed him that a business call distracted her. The second she left the main ballroom to answer her phone the lights went out. It was difficult enough to maneuver through Wyndemere as it was, but all bets were off in the darkness. Hell, Michael still got turned around and he had played in this mansion endlessly as a young boy. "I'm just glad I found you Mol." He formed a protective stance around his cousin in case trouble found them, and shook his head when asked what exactly was going on. "I haven't figured that out yet. I don't think this is Alcazars doing...for once." Michael had a sinking feeling this was compliments of a much more dangerous enemey. Chase was an ass, but he would never plan an attack with people he cared for close by. Him and Michael knew better than to risk casualties. No, this had the Ruiz family's scent all over it. But Michael suspected they had an ally in all of this. Breaking his thought process apart, Molly asked why Michael was here tonight. She'd been under the impression he was no longer residing in New York. "It's complicated," he confessed. "I quit the business for Natalie, but I had to come back to see if she was really ok." Molly rolled her eyes at him slightly, just as Paige had, and he frowned. "What?" Her and Morgan were screwed up enough as it was so what judgement could she have on his love affairs?

DreamOn777 · 05-26-2009, 02:42 PM

OOC:I think all my other characters are waiting on posts

Gavin nodded as Cameran told him they had to find Audrey and the others.Normally,the two guys couldn't stand to really be in the same room as each other.Gavin knew Cameran didn't approve of him,not to mention the fact that he was technically the 'enemy'.But in this instance,they were both working towards the same thing,had the same goal,cared about the same person or people so Gavin didn't think twice before walking with Cameran.He held his flashlight out cautiously.If there was any safe place to be,ironically,it was probably with Cameran as Gavin knew he had a gun and Gavin didn't.Gavin knew his father always thought maybe he'd go into the family business.Michael had...and Morgan hadn't...so maybe Sonny thought Gavin would balance things out.Plus,Gavin had always had more of an extreme personality.But Gavin wouldn't dream of going into the business.He knew if he did it would break his mother's heart.Brenda was adamant from the start that Gavin wouldn't be in the mob.And Gavin had grown up trying to follow that way of thinking.

Gavin and Cameran walked through the halls quietly,not saying a word.This place was like a maze.It's not like Gavin had grown up in a tiny residence.Greystone Manor was big as well but not like this.If Gavin had grown up in a place like this,it probably would've turned out crazier than he already was.Speaking of crazy,Gavin stopped as he heard a voice."Did you hear that?"he asked Cameran,as he searched around from where it came from.His steps grew faster as he got closer to the voice.As he and Cameran rounded the corner,he saw Meredith,Lainey's sister,doubled over.He rushed over to her and tried to help her up.She yelled that she was in labor and he looked to Cameran.What did they do now?
Tag Meredith (still Cameran)

Molly listened as Michael explained why he had to come back.She gave him a look and he right away jumped on her about it."I didn't say anything...it's probably hypocritical for me to judge your love life anyway since mine isn't exactly a fairy tale,"she replied with a sigh.She was happy Morgan was back in town but she hated knowing he couldn't forgive her and yet having to watch him go on with his life...bring a date to her event,for example...not that it had really been that successful anyway.This was the definition of an event gone wrong.But the point was that Molly wasn't one to judge Michael when she wasn't doing any better.She did however think that if he wanted to be with Natalie and she wanted to be with him,they should just do it.Molly knew the whole story...how mob violence ripped them apart.But love didn't come around too often,at least not in Molly's case.When you loved someone,you should be with them no matter what.But it wasn't Molly's place to say that...and definitely not now.

Molly changed the subject instead,to the real problem here.Michael said that he wasn't sure who was doing this,though he thought it was his enemy the Alcazars for once.Molly furrowed her brow.This was mob related? What the hell? "Wait...what exactly is happening out there? All I heard was someone screaming.How bad is it? Are you telling me this is mob related?"Molly jumped into a line of questioning.Everything at the Metro Court..that had been terrifying.But if this thing was like some sort of killer or group of killers on the loose targeting people then this was really bad.And then it also sent Molly's level of concern skyrocketing because pretty much everyone she loved and cared about was in Wyndemere tonight.God...this was a disaster.She had to find them.More importantly,she had to find Hal! Not just to make sure he was ok but he knew every bit of this house and he was the one with the most information here tonight.

angel_wings05 · 05-27-2009, 10:44 AM

Logan smirked slightly at Paige's comment. "Wouldn't dream of it." He needed her for back up in case anything went wrong on the boats. He wanted to keep Leigha out of harms way hence the reason he was taking her to the barn first..But he still wasn't crazy about her being there alone. Maybe Tommy would stay with her. Before he could ask, Tommy announced otherwise. "I'm coming with." He told Logan and Paige in a firm voice as he pulled out a gun from under his pant leg that was wedged between his leg and sock. 'Sorry kiddo, you're on your own.' Reaching for his back, Logan lifted up the back of his suit coat and pulled out the gun hidden there. First rule of being a hit man. Never leave the house without a gun. He looked over to Leigha to assure her everything was going to be okay but seeing her with her arms folded across her chest and the perplexed look on her face distracted him. Before he could ask what was wrong she told him exactly what was on her mind and she didn't hold back. 'So what? I'm supposed to stay there on my own while you run after some crazy murderer and my sisters are nowhere to be found? I'm not the damsel in distress.Either I'm staying in there with someone else or I'm coming with you.' Her attitude took him by surprise and made him stop. He's seen Leigha angry before, annoyed and being all stubborn too. Hell it was her feisty attitude and stubborn nature that made him fall in love with her in the first place. But that didn't change the fact that he didn't like either one of the options Leigha just laid out for him.

"Leigha...Nobody said your a damsel in distress I just..I can't focus on saving your sisters and everyone else if I'm worrying about you too." Logan tried to explain but his words didn't seem to be having an effect. Her face was the same as she stared at him expectantly.Sighing, Logan glanced at Paige and her boyfriend before looking back to Leigha. "Fine.." With an exasperated sigh Logan reached for his girlfriends hand. "Your coming with but only because I'm not crazy about leaving you alone." And he really wasn't.He didn't know for sure that the stables were safe and even if they were now that didn't mean they'd stay that way. Leigha was safer with him. Once outside the quad ignored the heavy rain and quickly made their way to the docks. He took off his suit coat and put it over Leigha's shoulders to keep her warm. While Tommy and Paige checked the boats on one side Logan took Leigha with him to check the boats on the other side. The boats that were left that is. There was about half as many as their was when they arrived leading Logan to believe whoever's responsible for tonight’s horror fest let loose more than half of the boats. And to make matters worse the engines weren't starting for any of the boats left..So far. "Damn it." Logan cursed under his breath, reaching for Leigha's hand once more. Walking over to the next boat he saw Paige and Tommy coming over to them just as they reached it. He didn't even have to ask to know they weren't having any luck. If their faces hadn't told him so the fact that he hadn't heard an engine yet certainly did. "Come on..Let's try this one." Despite the sinking feeling telling him this boat wouldn't work anymore than the others had, Logan had to try. As they all got on the boat Logan searched around for the keys and soon found them in a cup holder. He looked at the others once more before putting the keys in the ignition and turning. "Holy shit..It works." Logan laughed, both surprised and relieved, as he looked the others.

Unfortunately the relief was cut short as a hail of gunshots were fired their way. "Get down!" Reacting with pure instinct, Logan grabbed Leigha and pushed her down to the floorboards. He used his body to shield her from the shattering glass and incoming bullets. "Stay down..Don't get up for anything." He whispered to Leigha as he got up to help Paige and Tommy. Right away he saw were the shots were coming from and started firing back. They were surrounded. This wasn’t no psycho on the loose like they were initially led to believe. This was a mob retaliation. Whoever responsible was definitely involved in the mob. These weren’t no amateures. They were trained professionals. “Paige incoming!” Logan yelled, giving her the heads up on a shooter who had her in his sights. She took care of him like he knew she would and Logan carried on with what he was doing, taking out two men within seconds, until he needed to reload. Leaning down next to Leigha he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. “Hey…You doing okay?” When she raised her head ever so slightly Logan’s hand reached forward to brush her hair out of her eyes. After giving her a kiss on her forehead he quickly finished reloading his gun. He certainly wished he would have taken her to the stables now. “Down.” He told her once again while he rose for round two. 'Paige we'll cover you..Just get us out of here!' He heard Tommy yell as he nodded towards the drivers seat. The boat works but its kinda hard to drive it with all the bullets flying their way. Still if anybody can do it, it was Paige, nobody knows how to handle a boat like she does other than maybe him but he needed to stay close to Leigha and keep her safe. He's already lost one girl he loved he refused to lose the other.

OOC: Others coming later tonight!

Ridley slowly loosened her tight hold on him but didn't let go as Jamie promised she was safe now. She closed her eyes as he ran his hand softly along her hair in a comforting way. Her heart was still racing like crazy but being in his arms was exactly the medicine she needed. He made her feel safe. Like nothing and nobody could hurt her now. "Jamie..I'm so sorry for everything." Ridley apologized. When she was being attacked by that monster all she could think about was everything she hasn't said and done. All the things she still needed to say and do. She thought about Jamie and everything she wanted to tell him. Pulling back, Ridley was about to go on when she noticed they weren't alone. There was a woman standing there about a foot away from them. Unable to recognize her she looked from the woman back to Jamie. 'Ridley...this is my mother,Reese Marshall.' Right away her eyes widened with obvious surprise. His mother? But how was that possible..She thought his mother was..Dead. "Wow I...It's a honor to meet you Reese." Ridley told his mother genuinely, managing a small smile.

Reese's being there was a complete shock and though she was curious about the details she knew now wasn't the right time to ask. Jamie would tell her later if he wanted to...First they needed to make it off the island alive. She just wishes she could be meeting his mother under better circumstances. She's an absolute mess right now. Her dress torn and ripped, her body bloody and bruised..How did her sisters ball turn into such a nightmare? "I just wish it were under better circumstances." Ridley added, looking to Jamie when he started talking. 'Look...what did that guy do to you? Do you remember how far he was from here? What he looked like?' Her eyes widened. Natalie. "Oh no Natalie...Jamie you have to help her..She saved my life." She told him worriedly. The man who attacked her was scary and unpredictable. He was insane and there was no telling what he would do to her. Ridley knew…When he grabbed her he thought she was Natalie and if the bold mob moll hadn’t show up and come to her rescue..Ridley would probably be dead right now. Forcing such thoughts out of her head, she blinked her tears back and focused on what was at hand. Before she could say anything more the sound of gunshots filled the air. She jumped, scared for the woman who saved her life..And scared for Jamie because she knew him well enough to know he was going to go see if she was okay.

Reaching forward she grabbed his arm to stop him before he could go anywhere. “Jamie wait..” She gulped slightly when he turned back to look at her. “I just want you to know that…I do trust you.” Ridley whispered, nodding softly. “More than I’ve ever trusted anyone. I’m sorry for everything that happened that day at the studio.” Every since they had that fight in her mothers art studio she hasn’t been able stop replaying everything he said in her head and she just needs him to know that she believes him. She knows Eric isn’t telling her everything and she’s ready to face whatever that may be. There’s something about a near death experience that really makes you see things more clearly. If they get out of this terrifying disaster she would no longer be with Eric with her eyes closed. They were wide open now and if he was keeping something from her like Jamie and Molly have claimed over and over…She was going to find out what it was. But none of that means she isn't worried about him because she is. The last time she saw him was over an hour ago..Hopefully he was in the ballroom with the rest of the crowd and not wandering the hallways somewhere like she had done. Managing a small half smile, Ridley leaned forward and gave Jamie a light kiss on his cheek. “Be careful..” There was nothing else she could say that her eyes weren’t already telling him.

Audrey tried to help him up off the bed but failed. He collapsed back on the bed, holding his ankle in agony. Alarmed, Audrey drew her hands forward to stop him from trying again. "Okay maybe you shouldn't move.." She told him, worried his leg or ankle might be broken. 'I don't think I can walk. My ankle really hurts.' He told her and Audrey nodded in understanding. Using the candle she had for light she looked around the dim room her eyes soon going to door. Looks like she'll be going out there alone. It was no biggy she just hates the dark. 'Maybe you should go alone. Although, I'd prefer for you to have someone with you so that you wouldn't get hurt or anything.' She nodded in agreement. "Yeah I think I'm going to..You need help Thomas." Audrey sighed. "I'll be back soon...Just stay put." She told half jokingly, giving him a small reassuring smile before turning and walking away.

Just as she reached the door she stopped in her tracks. It was something he had said...Not just what he said but the way he said it. She wasn't sure why she hadn't questioned it right when he said but it was almost like she didn't realize it to just that moment.Like it was just now registering with her. "Wait..What do did you mean by that?" She asked as she turned back around to look at him. She saw his puzzled face and went on as she took a couple steps back towards the bed. "You said you'd prefer me to go with someone because you don't want me to get hurt. Why would you say that? I mean...Why would I be in danger of getting hurt? What did you mean by that?" Audrey questioned him clearly confused. "It's just bad storm..This is just a blackout..Why do you think if I go out there I might hurt?..I don't.." She trailed off. Come to think of it he'd been acting kind of odd since the first moment they met but she had just brushed it off. She couldn't now when every instinct she had was screaming that he knew more than he let on. "What aren't you telling me Thomas?" Audrey asked with confusion evident in her features.

OOC: More coming.

'I don't have time to fight with you about this but if I tell you to run you run, you got it'. "You got it" She nodded, happy that Constance was allowing her to go with her. She would have gone with her no matter what she said but it was nice for her not to put up much of a fight. It made things alot easier on the both of them. Inward, she knew that Constance had a point about not getting in trouble because of the baby but she didn't want to listen. All she wanted to do was find Jamie. Together they would for sure be able to find him. Two heads were always better than one.

'Hold this'. "What are you doing?" She wondered as she took the flash light from her. Shining it on Constance, she titled her head abit when she saw her messing with her dress. She couldn't help but get a bit of an amused look on her face. "I told you you should have worn something shorter" She commented with a laugh. She was glad she didn't have to worry about doing anything with her dress, as it was perfect for this kind of activity. She was really glad she went with this dress now or she would be in the same position as Constance.

Handing the flashlight back to her, she stayed close with Constance told her to. It wouldn't do them any good to get seperated. Just as that thought came to her mind, a hand came over her mouth and she was pulled backwards into the nothingingless.

She tried to scream to get her cousin's attention and the sound was muffled under the hand over her mouth. Hearing a door slam, she knew she had been taken into one of the secret passages. Which one, she didn't know, but she knew the castle well enough there were several that the stranger who had a hold of her could have taken. This was no doubt a planned attack, she now knew that.

;Don't scream or I'll shoot'. She was immedately silenced by the threating tone in the male's voice and the gun pointed at her stomach. Now she regreted following Constance. Really, what had she been thinking? It was a pretty stupid move. Not wanting anything to happen to her baby, she stopped fighting and gave into the man holding her. She couldn't fight. She wanted to, but she couldn't. She wouldn't not what to do if something happened to her baby.

'Where did that come from?' "I always keep a gun on me. I have since I got attacked a few years ago" She explained with a bit of a shrug. She felt like that was enough reason to give him because she certainly didn't have the time to go into detail of why she really carried a gun and what happened when she had been attacked. Retelling the trail of how she lost her daughter really wasn't something she wanted to do at that moment. What she said about carrying the gun was good enough for right now. It was all he really needed to know.

'We're not going there. It might not be safe anymore'. "It's probably not safe anywhere" She pointed out as she cocked her gun so she was ready incase anyone struck. With all that happened so far, it was in her best inerest to be prepared. She began to argue that they should stay inside so she could look for her family and make sure they were okay but he woudln't hear it as he took her outside. She didn't see how being outside would help them save her family or the innocent people inside that are probably getting attacked right now. It just didn't make sense.

Yet, she followed him anyway, and into the porning rain at that. What she was thinking, she didn't know. They somehow made it to the stables without getting shot at and she was impressed. Maybe it wasn't as dangerous out there as she thought it was. That didn't help her worry about her family, though. If anything, it increased her worry because it meant that the danger was in the house that they were just in. She wrapped her arms around her as he watched him set up the lantern, her skin cold from the rain they were in. He must have sensed that because he came over and wrapped his jacket around her.

'Better?' "I guess" She mumbled, really wanting to just shrug it off and leave at that moment. The last place she wanted to be was in a barely lite barn with the man that helped destroy her marriage. Hopefully the rain would stop soon so she could get out of there and look for her family. All of them were there it seemed and that scared her.

'There’s something I’ve wanted to ask you all night. Kristina..May I have this dance?'. Hearing that, she looked at him like he had three heads. "Are you insane? There's some pyscho out there running around and you want to dance? I don't see how any of this is going to help save people" She commented, giving him one more look before she headed towards the window by the door to look out. The rain was coming full force now, she might never get out of here.

"I need to get back in there and find everyone I care about. I don't know what I'll do if something happens to them" She told him with her back to him and her voice full of fear and worry for her loved ones. Surprsingly, that included Cameran, desite what just happened inside an hour before this. She wanted to make sure he was okay too. He was at the top of her list right after Molly. They were the most important people in her life, that was no question about that.

He was amused as she tried to fight while he dragged her into a bedroom. He just picked a room at random really, and it just happened to be a bedroom. He was having really good luck tonight. All seemed to be going accoding to plan and then some. He loved it. He loved it even more because she was fighitng. It was always more fun when they put up a right. He got no thrill out of women who just let him do whatever he wanted. There was no excitment when that happened.

Just as he shut the door behind them, she managed to get away. To that, he just laughed. "You're a fast one. Very impressive, bonita" He commented as he advanced towards her. When he saw her grab a letter opener and threaten him with it, he just shook his head in amusement. This girl was something else. Did she actually think that that would do anything do him? She was surely mistaken if she thought that. A letter opener was child's play.

'If you have any idea who my brother is you will turn around and walk away'. "I know exactly who your brother is and he doesn't scare me. Neither does your father for that matter" Oh he knew all about this girl and her connections and it didn't phase him in the least. The Alcazar clan wasn't as scary as they thought they were, especially not to the Ruiz family. 'Because trust me he will kill you If you touch me..That’s a promise'. "He won't be able to touch me if you're dead" He commented with a smirk, as he lunged forward, his one arm going around her waist and the other grabbing the letter opener from her hand. He slipped it in his pocket for later then he wrapped his other arm around her waist, pulling her close to him.

"You're so beautiful" He whispered in a husky voice that was both deep and dangerous at the same time. He smiled and evil smile on her as he forced his lips onto hers. As they all did, she struggled and he gripped her forcefully as he shoved her up against a near by wall. It was dark but he could see with the moonlight just fine. "It only makes it more fun if you struggle" He commented with an evil laugh as he grabbed her arms once more to drag her to the bed. She fought so much that he had to pick her up and carry her over. He handled her so roughly as he carried her and threw her on the bed, that there would no doubt be bruises later.

"I wonder if you'll be as good as tu madre" He commented with a smirk on his face. Of course he had never thoughed her mother, he didn't even know her. It was just who he was to mess with his victims before he had his way with them and did them in. He just loved torturing women. It was a thrill for him. He contemplated tieing her arms up but then he decided that would take too long. Getting right down to business, his hands began roaming her body roughly as he forced himself upon her. He wasn't a big fan of wasting time.

Reese tore her eyes away from Jamie to mask the disappointment. She thought him staying by her side was a mistake. What about the people who were a part of his daily life? Reese realized her son loved her and wanted to keep her close, but at what cost? His wife and child needed him more than she ever could. “Jamie,” Reese began in an authoritative tone. She was prepared to tell him to leave and not look back, but the terrified sobs of a woman broke her thought process. Concern consumed her son’s features as a bruised and beaten girl ran into his outstretched arms. Reese found herself examining the left hand of the startled stranger, but no wedding ring presented itself. Constance hadn’t told her what Jamie’s wife looked like or how far along she was in her pregnancy, but no ring confirmed her son’s wife was still somewhere in this mansion fearing for the man she loved. Standing off to the side, Reese watched the pair interact before her. Ridley had been attacked, clearly, and she was still shaking from the fear. Jamie spoke soothing words over and over and held onto the woman as if both their lives depended on it. Her gut instinct said there was more than friendship between these two souls, but now was not the time or place for a couple examination. After her son managed to calm Ridley down somewhat, he introduced her to Reese. She smiled when he spoke the word mother with raw affection. It was nice to hear after so many years spent alone, hidden from the family she so desperately wanted to keep safe.

Confusion surrounded Ridley, she must have thought Reese was dead all these years as well. She got over the shock in a few seconds and offered a warm smile in response. “It’s nice to meet you too, Ridley.” She wished the circumstances were better as well, but in Port Charles you learned to equate yourself with unconventional meetings. Jamie broke the silence by asking Ridley a series of questions. What had the man done to her? Where was she attacked? Reese listened as the questions every trained cop knew by heart spilled forth. The girl’s eyes widened as she told Jamie he had to go help Natalie. She was the person who’d saved her, and now she’d been left alone with that psychopath. Jamie patted himself down for a gun, frowning, before Reese drew forth her own from underneath her dress. “Here,” She handed her son the weapon and prayed he’d stay safe as he set forth to right the wrong being done. As he neared the exit gunshots rang out and Jamie listened to a soft warning from Ridley before sprinting around the corner. Reese reached out and took the stranger’s hand, squeezing it tightly. “Don’t worry…he’ll be fine sweetheart.” He had to be.
