Jon was running on the corridor as fast as he could. It was only an hour ago when Kate called and told him that Richie had been kidnapped. Or at least that was he managed to understand of what Kate told him while she was crying hard.
Jon turned right on the end of the corridor and there he found the door opened. He stopped. The door was wide open. He walked slowly to the entrance of the apartement not sure of what to expect. There he saw Kate sitting in the middle of living room. He noticed a guitar cut in half. Kate raised her head and faced the suprised Jon who was standing in front of her. It didn't long for Jon to see that she was crying.
He walked inside the apartment and knelt in front of Kate. She wrapped her arms around Jon and hugged him close. Jon let her cry for a few minutes. That gave Jon some time to think what might had happend to his best friend. Kate broke the hug and looked at Jon. "What happend Kate?" he asked.
Kate was keep looking at Jon. She must tell him what happend because she wanted to find Richie as soon as possible. She shallowed hard and started "I was watching MTV and they said you're in the 4th place of US Billboard charts with Always and i told Richie to come and check this out. He came and then i asked him to play a song on the guitar for me. He went to bring the guitar when..." she paused. "When the bell rung, it was my brother. He found out that i was living with Richie and he came to take me back. I said no of course. Then he turned on Richie and broke my favourite guitar." she paused and they both looked at the broken guitar.
Kate looked back at Jon once again. "Then Richie got pissed beacuse it was my favourite, he punched him and Jackson pulled a gun at him." tears rolled down to her cheeks as she remembered what happend earlier. Jon was listeinging to her and he couldn't imagine how she must feelling. He had no idea how he would feel if something like will happen to Dorothea while he was watching. A part of him wanted to tell her to stop but the other one wanted to know what happend next.
"Then he aimed at Richie but i begged him not to kill him." she shallowed. "He took Richie with him." she added. Kate looked back at Jon who had that lost look on his face. He was still trying to understand what he had just heard. All these seemed iimpossible to him to understand, but that's the truth after all.
"Come on Kate. Let's go in my house. See what we can do." Jon said and stood up helding his hand out. Kate looked up at him, she was still sitting on the floor. She wanted to stay there but she knew staying there and crying won't bring Richie back. With Jon's hand as a help Kate stood up. They were walking out of the apartement when Kate stopped to take a last look at it before she closed the door.

"Where is her? I want to see her!" Adam walked in the living room yelling followed by Joan. They were all sitting on Jon's living room. All looked at angry Adam and sad Joan while they walked in the living room.
Kate stood up from the couch when she faced Richie's parents. She understands how they must have feel, it's not easy learning from the phone that your son had been kidnapped by your girlfriend's brother. Adam stopped in front of Kate and looked her in the eyes. "You are responsible of what happend to my son! First, your brother kicked his ass and now he had kidnapped him! I can't believe this shit! You better pray that my son walks out of this safe and sound otherwise you'll be your client!" his voice was steady. He ment every word. He wasn't foolling around.
"Adam you said enough!" Joan jumped in. She walked in front of her and asked. "Are you alright sweetie?" Joan hugged Kate close. She knew Kate had nothing to do with her brother's actions. And she knew for sure she couldn't do anything to hurt Richie. She loves him too much to make him suffer like this.
Kate looked at Joan when she broke the hug. She was really suprised of what she just did. "Joan what are you doing?" Adam asked his wife. "What do you think like i'm doing Adam? Kate has nothing to do with what happend to Richie. And she's the only one who can really help us to find him. So, being mean to her doesn't help at all Adam." Joan answered as she looked back at him.
She was sure he'll react like that. He was so silent of the ride from their house is Red Bank and she could tell what he was thinking now. Kate explained to them one more time what happend a few hours ago in New York when the phone rung. Not Jon or Dorothea were in the mood of talking on the phone right now but someone has to pick it up. Jon knew his wife will be tiried of taking care of Stephanie and he stood up.
"Hello." he said with annoying voice. "You finally answer it. You know is not right leaving him wait for too long." Jon raised his eyebrows. He had never listen to this voice before. It was completely stranger to him. "Who are you and what do you want?" Jon asked back angrily. "You must be Jon, right? I'm Jackson and i want to have a word with my sister." Jackon answered from the other like of the phone.
"Joooon!" Richie screamed with all the power was left. Jon hear it and his face lighted up. "Richie!" he said smiling. All in the living room turned and looked at Jon. Kate stood up and walked next to him. "Shut up you piece of shit!" Jackson yelled full of anger. The next thing Jon and Kate heard was Richie screaming out of pain.
Kate's eyes filled with tears one more time. Just even thinking that Richie was with her brother somewhere she couldn't do anything to take him was driving her crazy. "Jackson?" Kate asked almost hesitate. "Cathrine, finally!" Jackson said. He looked next to him the chained Richie who his face lighted up when he heard her name. "Don't you even think to talk or i'll kill you!" Jackson told him.
"I'm sorry for that, but your rockstar doesn't behave and i must teach him some manners since his family failed to teach him any." Jackson placed the phone better on his ear so Kate could hear loud and clear what he was about to say.
"Kate, i'll go straight to the point. To get your rockstar back, or what is left of him, all you have to do is stop loving him and of course never see him again." Jackson told her. Kate shallowed hard. Her palms were getting all sweaty. She knew he mean it otherwise why would he had done all these? At this point she didn't know what was worse answering this or trying to live without Richie. Things are are getting serious now.
"O-Okay, i think i can do that. Where are you?" Kate asked. Jackson start laughing hard. "You really think that will be easy? I want to make sure you will not see him again in your life. So, Jon i hope you have a nice suit to wear in his funeral." Jackson said and hung up the phone.
Kate hung up the phone too and looked to every single one who was there. "What did he say?" Joan asked and looked Kate in her eyes. "He said we need to find him..." Kate started. Tears rolled down to her face. She couldn't finish. "Or i have to wear a nice suit in his funeral." Jon said from behind. It was hard fro him too. Hell, it was hard for all of them.
"And now?" David asked as Jon and Kate shut on the couch with every one. "We need to find him before it's too late." Tico said. Trying to sound as calm as a person in his shoes will be. Kate wipped off her tears. "I don't think that's easy. They can be everywhere in the world." Kate said. "No, i think Richie is somewhere close." David answered. "We'll find him Kate. You'll see and you'll be back together." David added seconds later and touched Kate's shoulder.
Kate smiled. "I hope you're right David. But when we'll find Richie and make sure he's alright i'm leaving." she answered looking back at David.
Kate looked at Joan when she broke the hug. She was really suprised of what she just did. "Joan what are you doing?" Adam asked his wife. "What do you think like i'm doing Adam? Kate has nothing to do with what happend to Richie. And she's the only one who can really help us to find him. So, being mean to her doesn't help at all Adam."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning was sitting on the same spot she was sitting last night since she talked with her brother on the phone. She didn't move, she didn't eat, she didn't sleep. She was just sitting there. Jon walked in the living room holding Stephanie in his arms. He saw Kate sitting there and walked closer to her. He shut next to her and Kate looked at them.
"Do you want to hold her?" Jon asked hoping she will say yes. He wanted to make her forget what is going on with her life. The one year old Stephanie was now in Kate's arms. Kate at first was afraid that she might do something wrong and will make Stephanie cry. Holding Stephanie in her arms she felt something different. It was that momment when she realized how much she wanted to have kids on her own.
She hasn't really talk about this with Richie but she had heard him many times saying he wants a big family. She wanted a big family too. But now things had changed a little. She loved him since day one and each day even more. But all that love lead him being kidnapped by her own brother.
Kate was spending some time with Stephanie trying to get away from everything even she knew that was impossible. Jon was watching them as he was walking to answer the door. "Hello?" Jon said as he opened the door. "Mr John Bongiovi?" the unkown man asked him. "Yeah." Jon asked a little suprised. He was sure they didn't order anything.
The man gave Jon a small box. "This is for you from mr Jackson Jones. Please sigh here." Jon sighed and closed the door behind him. He was walking to the living room with not a pleasant look on his face. Kate notised that and asked him. "Jon eveything okay?"
Jon looked up at her. He didn't know of he was afraid the most. Opening this little box or telling Kate that this was delivered by her brother. Jon shut on the couch next to her and gave Kate that little box. Kate saw her brother's name on it and rolled her eyes.
"I have no idea what it's in the box." Jon told her. Kate looked at Jon and gave Stephanie to him. She must be the one who opens this box. Kate almost with shaken hands she opened the box. Both Jon and Kate rolled their eyes. "Really? A video tape?" Jon said. "Why i have a bad feeling about this?" Kate answered while she saw him turning on the TV and the video.
"Hello Kate, Jon and whoever is there with you!" Jackson said in front of the camera. They could see in the backround Richie chained on a chair in the middle of the empty room. "Come on Kate he's alright. He's still breathing." Jackson said sarcasticly.
The camera moved closer to Richie who is obviosly tired and bitten up. His shirt was all covered by blood. Kate could aslo see some scracthes in his arms. Her heart sink. And she felt like she doesn't want to live anymore. She was so devastated of what she had seen already. She wanting it to stop.
"Everything was fine until this fucking asshole appeared in your life. You don't need no man Kate. And sure not him." Jackson pointed Richie who he hadn't moved an inch. "So, you need to hurry Kate. I spend my whole day watching him and i don't have time to do anything else. And since you're a doctor you know how much time takes to a person to bleed to death." Jackson said looking at the camera.
"Oh my God!! No!! Jack please!! NOOOOOO!!" Kate screamed as tears were rolling down to her chicks. She was keep screaming as she watched some men unchain Richie and help him stand up. He was so weak, he barely tryied to keep his eyes open. Richie was watching Jackson walking away holding something in his hands. He couldn't focus, that hurted very much. He saw a camera a few feet away. A red light was flashing. He knew very well what he was doing.
"Hold his right arm up." Jackson demanded. Richie wanted to resist but he was powerless now. "It's been a while since i practed on aiming." Jackson said and armed the gun he was holding. He closed his right eye in order to help him aim better Richie's arm.
He was standing about 80 feet away from Richie. Jackson's left indext finger was placed gently on the trigger. He aimed closer to where he wanted to fire and he suddenly pulled the trigger. He heard the sound of Richie's flesh being torn apart and saw red, hot blood running from his veins as he screamed out of pain.
"The clock is ticking, Kate!" were the last words he said on the camera before he turned it off.
"Do you want to hold her?" Jon asked hoping she will say yes. He wanted to make her forget what is going on with her life. The one year old Stephanie was now in Kate's arms.
