Ridge and Taylor returned home. Ridge was down. He could hardly believe that Stephanie was behing Brooke´s kidnapping. She would go to jail. Taylor tried her best to comfort him. They sat down on the sofa. Ridge buried his face in his hands. Taylor put her arm around his shoulders.
”We don´t know that it was Stephanie”, Taylor told him hopefully. Ridge looked up at her.
”Then who was it?”
”I don´t know. But we shouldn´t lose faith now. We have to support her as a family.”
”Family? This family is no more. We are so torn apart that I don´t see us as a family anymore.”
”You still have me, and our wonderful children”.
”I know. And I am so grateful for that.” Taylor kissed Ridge and looked him deep into his eyes. ”Come on, Sweetie. Let´s go upstairs and finnish what we left off last night”, she told him.
”Doc, I don´t know... I don´t think I can concentrate on that right now.”
”Just try.” Taylor took his hand and led him to their bedroom. She reached to him and touched his chest gently. He closed his eyes. Taylor lifted her dress and dragged it off of her, giving Ridge the pleasure to see some bare skin. He put his hands on her, sensually caressing her. They kissed passionately. Wanting, needing more. Taylor undressed him withing a few seconds and they fell to the bed. Things heated up fast. They fu(ked hard and hungrily. They were wet of sweat. Ridge went faster and faster on Taylor´s command until they came. It was heaven for them both.
”Oh, Logan!”, Ridge groaned. He realized soon his mistake and opened his eyes, looking into Taylor´s furious eyes.
”I can´t believe that you shouted out HER name!”, Taylor screamed at him, getting out of bed in a hurry.
”Doc, I´m sorry!”. Ridge hurried up out of bed after Taylor.
”Let me explain!”
”There is nothing to explain! It´s pathetic really. You´re pathetic. And Brooke! I´m glad that tramp is gone!”, Taylor screamed.
”That´s it! Brooke seduced me! She wanted me. But I turned her down.”
”Good for you... Wait. When was this?”
”Yesterday”
”That´s why you were so passionate about me?! You had just been seduced by Brooke?”, Taylor was furious. She put on her dress again in a hurry and was on her way out of the bedroom when Ridge grabbed her.
”Please, listen to me...” Taylor slapped him across his face.
”Let go of me. Don´t ever touch me again!” She ran out and left the mansion.
Stephanie was sitting in a cold interrigationroom at the policedepartment. Lt. Burke had left her over to Detective Valez. He had been grilling Stephanie for a couple of hours now. He had only found out that Stephanie and Brooke had gotten into a fistfight that turned bloody because of a familyissue. He knew that Brooke had married three Forrestermen and knew about the hostile relation between Brooke and Stephanie. According to Stephanie, she had taken a drive to cool off after the fight. She had no alibi. The drive had taken about an hour and she had gotten back to the mansion before the familygathering. She had told the detective over and over again that she had no idea where Brooke were. The detective gave up. Eighter Stephanie was telling the truth or she was a good lier.
”Finally! Can I go now?”, Stephanie asked.
”Not yet. I´m still waiting for a word from Lt. Burke about the latest labresults.”, he answered.
”I can make a phonecall, can´t I? Isn´t that the routine?”, Stephanie asked very little amused. The detective pointed at a payphone on the wall behind her.
”I have to pay? Do you think I brought my purse? I was handcuffed, remember? I have no change on me.”
”Fine, use this phone then”, the detective pointed to the phone on his desk.
At the Forrester mansion, Eric was sitting on the sofa with a picture of him and Stephanie in his hands. Beth Logan walked in on him.
”Eric, stop beating yourself up. You couldn´t possibly have known that Stephanie was such a monster.”
”I don´t know that”
”What do you mean? Are you having doubts?”
”I´m just saying that I should have given her a chance to explain. I´m her husband for God´s sake!”
”No, Eric. No... She doesn´t deserve a chance to explain. Not after what she did to Brooke. I just pray that she´ll be back with us soon. That Stephanie haven´t hurt her...”
”Brooke is OK.”
”How do you know that? We don´t even know if she is still alive!” Beth started crying over the thought that she may have lost her daughter. Eric put his arms around her to comfort her. It helped. She calmed down.
”Where is your husband? Still in Paris?”, Eric asked.
”Yes. He didn´t care to come along.” Beth looked sad.
”What is it? Did you have a fight?”
”A fight? You can say that... But that would be putting it mildly. Were having big problems.”
”I´m sorry to hear that”, Eric told her.
”Are you?”
”What do you mean?”
”Our history isn´t exactly a secret. I know that you never approved of our marriage. Just like I never did with you and Stephanie”, Beth got closer to Eric.
”That was in the past, Beth. We´ve both moved on.” Beth realized that this wasn´t the moment to make her move.
”You´re right. I don´t know what got into me”, she said with shame.
”It´s okay. It´s probably because of this situation”, Eric told her understandingly.
”What are you going to do now?”, Beth asked curious.
”I´m gonna go get her home”, Eric told her.
”Are you serious? She kidnapped the mother of your children! Why on earth would you like to help her?”, Beth was stunned.
”I feel bad for her. Didn´t you see the expression on her face when everyone turned agains her?”
”I think she deserved it.”
”Well, I don´t. The least I can do is go get her. She has no where to go.”
”You are too kind for your own good, Eric. That´s probably why I fell in love with you.” They smiled at each other. Eric went to the phone to call the policestation, to ask when they were ready with Stephanie.
”We´re finnished here”, Valez told Eric.
”Where is Brooke?”, Beth asked Eric.
”Have you found Brooke Logan Forrester yet?”, Eric asked.
”No, your wife couldn´t say”, Valez answered.
”I´ll be right there”, Eric told Valez and hung up the phone.
”She hasn´t been found yet”, Eric told the worried Beth.
”No! Why don´t that which just give up?”
”Maybe because it wasn´t her”, Eric speculated.
”Give me a break! Look at her past records... And she had strong movies and opportunity. Didn´t you see her? She had been in a fight. Probably after fighting to drag my daughter to some horrible place in some bad neighbourhood”, Beth imagined the sight of Brooke struggeling to get free. Eric didn´t see the point in discussing this with Beth.
”I have to get going now”, Eric told her.
”Wait, Eric. There is something I´d like to ask”, Beth started. Eric listened.
”I have no where to live. I would have stayed at Brooke´s. But I don´t think I´d want to... It wouldn´t feel good to be there alone when Brooke is God knows where...”
”Are you asking if you can stay here?”, Eric asked.
”Well, yes... I would have stayed with Bridget or Rick, but they don´t have room for me. And Stephanie won´t be here...”
”OK, you can stay for the time being”, Eric told a relieved Beth who hugged him to say thank you. She smiled at him as he left to pick up Stephanie.
Morgan packed up her clothes and put them into the closet in her new house. She heard a car pull up.
”Just the man I wanted to see...”, Morgan told herself and looked herself into the mirror she had put up. She looked great in her leatherpants and short top. Her hair was down, but styled with mousse. She checked her make-up and went outside to the neighbour´s frontdoor. She rang the doorbell and waited to be let inside.
”Morgan?”, Thorne asked.
”Howdy neighbour”, Morgan greeted him.
”Neighbour?”, Thorne was stunned.
”I just moved in next door. Macy´s old house. Sally put it out on the market. I always loved the ocean, so when I saw the ad for it, I didn´t hesitate, I hope you don´t mind...”, Morgan said.
”No, No I don´t”, Thorne told her with his mind thinking of other things.
”What is is?”, Morgan asked.
”Familystuff”, Thorne answered.
”That didn´t sound good. What have your mother done this time?”, Morgan asked.
”How did you know that it´s about mother?”, Thorne wondered.
”Isn´t it always?”, Morgan said as she put her hand on her stomach, reminding Thorne of her baby.
”Now, tell me, what´s so wrong?”, Morgan asked and went inside.
”Brooke is kidnapped and we think that mother is behind it”, Thorne told her.
”Stephanie kidnapped Brooke?”, Morgan asked surprised.
”We don´t know. But all the evidence points that way”
”I hope Brooke gets free soon. I´d like Stephanie to pay for everything she ever did... I´m sorry, I know she is your mother. But she shouldn´t get away with something like that.”
”I agree. IF she did it, she deserves to be put in jail”, Thorne told her.
”Would you excuse me, I´d like to be alone right now”, he continued.
”Of course, I understand”, Morgan told him. Before she left, she gave Throrne a pat on the back and a friendly look. She went back to her place. ”Good... I´m rid of Brooke and Stephanie... Things are working out better then I could have hoped for”, she told herself.
Sally went up the elevator to Spectra. She had a blank look in her eyes. She didn´t move a muscle at first. Sally lifted her hand and looked at the scar on her hand. The doors to the elevator opened and Sally went out. There was Darla, who looked excited about something.
”What is it Darla? You look like you just found out that the world is going under”, Sally said.
”No... I just heard the news. It seems like Brooke is kidnapped. They brought in Stephanie for questioning”, Darla informed her chocked boss.
”What?! Queen Stephanie kidnapped Brooke Logan?”, Sally asked stunned.
”According to the news...”
”I wonder what happened in that looney family for her to go so far as kidnapping”, Sally asked.
”Darla, keep me updated as soon as you hear anything about this”, Sally told her and went into her office. She couldn´t believe it. But was glad about it. Stephanie had finally put Brooke on her place... She had gotten revenge, and didn´t have to move a finger to it. Sally thought on how close she came last night to end it all. She thought back on how she drove out to Macy´s grave and almost ended her life by slicing up her wrist. Sally had been so depressed ever since Macy died that life without her precious daughter didn´t seemed worth living anymore. But Sally had stopped in time. She had the knife ready to end her life, made a scar, but then realized that she couldn´t do it to C.J. She was ashamed that she almost left her other child, who had been through hell with the deaths of Becky and Macy. Sally returned to presence. She couldn´t believe how close she was to throw in the towel the nigth before. Now, she had other things on her mind. She was going to start seing a psychiatrist. She needed someone to help her get over this dark depression. She couldn´t go on feeling like she couldn´t breathe everytime she though of Macy. She had to leave Macy behind. Leave her in her memories.
Eric entered the policestation. He asked around for where he should go, he ended up by Det. Valez´ desk.
”I´m looking for my wife, Stephanie Forrester”, he asked Valez.
”You´re too late, she left about 15 minutes ago”, Valez told a surprised Eric.
”Alone?”, he asked.
”No, with some guy. I didn´t catch his name”
”Thank you”, Eric said and left. He had been too late. He wondered where she was. Eric came to the conclution that Ridge or Thorne probably had gotten her. He left.
Brooke woke up with a start. At first she thought she had had a bad dream, but then she realized that she was still there in that dark room with no way out. She was hungry and thirsty. There was nothing left there for her. She realized that she couldn´t spill her time with sleep. She had to get out. She stumbled into the darkness and looked for a tool of some kind to break up the door. She found a screwdriver on a shelf after dragging down some other stuff, she didn´t know what it was. She took the screwdriver, kissed it happily, and moved to the door. She put the screwdriver in the chink of the door and started pulling with everything within her. After a few pulls and alot of strenght, Brooke finally got the door opened. She almost jumped of joy and ran out, but she didn´t get far. She was in a livingroom, heading towards the frontdoor. Brooke opened the door and came face to face to her kidnapper.
