Adam stood around looking at everyone. He was getting more and more annoyed with what he had to do. He knew that it would hurt everyone he had come to care about. But he had to do what he had to do. His cell phone rang right on cue and he excused himself stepping out into the garage to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hey, I will be there in about fifteen minutes. You ready?" Jay said.

"Yeah. We will be ready. "

John and Eve pulled into the driveway and walked up the walk to the door. He grabbed her hand and gave it a quick squeeze before knocking on the door. Jerry answered and let them in. They spotted Keleigh and Randy standing by the Christmas tree with Ted and the girl that they'd rescued from the warehouse. Josie was her name if he remembered right. Ted and Josie walked away and he looked at K standing there holding their son. She had always made a beautiful bride. He looked over at his own wife and smiled. It seemed that they had both moved on with their lives. But he still didn't like the fact that Randy would be spending so much time with his son. He hated that.

"Hey K." he said. She smiled at him.

"Hey John. I just have to finish getting his bag packed and he will be all ready to go." She said. She looked over at Eve. She had decided that she would at least try and make an effort to be nice to her. She was after all her son's step mother. "Eve would you mind helping me?" Eve nodded and kissed John's cheek. Keleigh leaned in and gave Randy a kiss on the lips.

"Don't be gone too long." He watched as she walked up the stairs toward Aiden's room. He looked over at John and noticed that he was watching Eve. Maybe he should try and be nicer to him. Make an effort to at least be civil toward him. It would make things easier on Keleigh and Aiden if he did. "Thanks for taking him for a couple of days."

"Orton if you're trying to make nice, you're wasting your breath. I don't like you. I will never like you. But as long as you're good to Keleigh and Aiden, we won't have any problems."

"Well at least we know where we stand. Because I don't like you either. " he said walking away.

Ted and Josie walked out into the garage where the extra fridge was to get some more drinks. Adam looked over at them and knew it would be easier to get her if she was alone but he was running out of time. He walked over and pulled the gun out of his pocket hitting Ted in the back of the head. Ted fell to the ground dropping the tray he was holding. He came forward and grabbed Josie by the arm.

"If you scream, I will have to shoot you." He said putting the gun in her ribs. She looked at him, panic running through her.

The door to the garage opened and Keleigh walked out. Adam pointed the gun at Josie's head. She'd been walking back down the stairs with Aiden when she heard the crash in the garage. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Adam was standing there with a gun on Josie. She had to try and defuse the situation before Randy found out. He would be hurt and really pissed off.

"Adam, what…are you doing?"

"Don't ask anymore questions K. Just…..you have to come with me. Both of you. He's got to come too." He said motioning toward Aiden. The van pulled up and Adam looked back at Keleigh. "Please, just…..get in the van."

Keleigh couldn't believe that this was happening. She held Aiden close to her trying to comfort him. She walked toward the van with Adam and got in. The door to the garage opened up again and Eve walked out holding Aiden's diaper bag.

"Keleigh, is this everything you wanted packed?" She looked up at the sight in front of her and was about to scream when Adam came forward and grabbed her by her arm. He shoved her into the van roughly and dropped the envelope with the letter that Dave had written on Ted who was still on the floor. He got in the passenger side of the van and Jay sped off.

Out in the living room, John was getting a little antsy waiting for his wife and son. He didn't want to be here. He didn't want to have to wait with his former father in law and his ex wife's new husband. Jerry looked around wondering where everyone was. He knew that Ted and Josie had gone to the garage to get some more drinks. He'd seen Adam walk that way a little before to take a phone call. He hoped that nothing was wrong. He walked toward the inside door to the garage and found it open. He expected to hear voices coming from the inside. But it was quiet. A little too quiet for his liking. He pushed the door open a little farther and to find Ted face down on the garage floor.

"RANDY! JOHN! QUICK GET HELP!" he said checking Ted for a pulse. He was a little relieved when he found that he still had one. Both men came running inside and noticed that Ted was on the floor. Randy knelt beside him cradling his head while John called 911. Jerry picked up the envelope and read the letter.

"Where the fuck is everyone else?" Randy asked. John looked around and noticed that Aiden's blankie was laying in the driveway. He had a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"Guys, I think you should see this." Jerry said handing them the letter.

"Now I have what I always wanted. I have my family back." John said reading the letter out loud. He looked over at Randy for a moment before he walked over and pulled him up by his shirt letting Ted's head bounce off the floor of the garage. He slammed Randy against the wall. "Are you still working for him?" he asked his voice low.

"Working for who?" Randy said pushing him back.

"Batista! Are you still working for that son of a bitch?"

"John, you're even more delusional than I thought. Batista is dead. It was all over the news."

"Then how do you explain this note? It's his hand writing." John said practically throwing the note in Randy's face. Randy's face paled and he punched the wall beside the fridge.

"You don't think that…"

"Batista may still be alive." Jerry said grabbing his cell phone out of his pocket and making a few calls. If Batista was alive and had taken everyone, then they only had a small window to find them before he did anymore damage to Keleigh than he already had.

Ted groaned on the floor drawing the attention of the other three men back to him. He rubbed his head and looked at the other three as he propped himself up against the door of the fridge.

"What the fuck?"

"Ted what happened?" Randy said.

"Josie and I came in here to get some drinks. Your buddy Adam was in here. We didn't think anything of it. Then I feel pain shoot through my head. Where's Josie is she okay?" he asked a little panicked.

"She's missing. Along with K, Eve and Aiden." Jerry said as he was waiting for someone to answer the phone.

"Some friends you got there Orton." John mumbled as he stood there looking at Aiden's blankie.

The van pulled up in front of a mansion. A mansion that Keleigh knew all too well. She'd seen the pictures in John's files and her own. The mansion belonged to Dave Batista. But what she couldn't figure out was why Adam had brought her here. Dave was dead.

The side door to the van opened and Jay walked over and grabbed Eve out ushering her to the house. Adam reached in and grabbed Josie's arm and helped Keleigh out. He walked with them through the big black iron gate and up the stone walkway into the house. There were a few men standing around that Keleigh didn't recognize. They stopped in the entryway and Keleigh looked toward the stairs, her heart sinking into her stomach as Dave walked down the steps.

"Hi baby. You miss me?" he said as he walked over to her.

"You can't be standing here. You're dead." She said.

"Oh no. I am very much alive. And we have some unfinished business." He said looking over at Josie. "You're so much prettier than I thought you would be." He said giving her a hug. She looked over at Keleigh who she could tell was nervous.

"Now we can be one big happy family. I have my wife, my son and my sister back." He said. He looked over at Eve. "What is she doing here?"

"She came out into the garage. We had to take her." Adam said. "What do you want us to do with her?"

Dave smirked for a minute. This was too perfect. He knew if he took Keleigh and Josie that Randy and Ted would come. And he'd only planned on taking Aiden to lure John in. But having his wife there was too perfect.

"Put her in a room in the basement for now. I will figure out what to do with her later."Adam nodded his head and Jay grabbed her arm pulling her with him down toward the stairs. "Show everyone else to their rooms and make sure that they are comfortable. We have a lot to celebrate." He said. Adam nodded again and he and the large dark haired man walked over each one grabbing one of the girls by the arm. He led them up to their rooms.

"Josie, this is your room. Keleigh, yours is right next to Aiden's. I will come get you when he's ready for you." He said walking away. He rounded the corner and walked down the stairs to where Dave was now sitting staring at the large Christmas tree. "They're getting all settled in."

"Good." Dave said. He looked at the brightly colored packages under the tree making sure there were enough for everyone. He would have to take things slow and make sure that he could undo the brainwashing that he was sure John, Randy and Ted had caused. He knew that right now their minds were poisoned against him. But he finally had his family back and he was going to do whatever he had to do to make sure that they would stay with him. Forever.
