"Are you gonna explain now?" Avery demanded once everyone was sealed inside the lighthouse. Juice stood guard at the only entrance with a gun in his hand, and Opie had shut off access to the elevator from the outside.

"Clay really did kidnap Gemma," Opie nodded at her to take a seat on one of the couches in the kids' clubhouse area as he pulled a satellite phone out of a large grey plastic emergency tote. "The paper trail was faked. We think he snuck onto the island last night during the storm. Now give me a minute, baby girl. I gotta get in touch with Jax." He punched some numbers into the phone and brought it to his ear.

Avery held Abel on her lap, read to him from a picture book, and tried to remain calm because she was screaming internally.

"I hope Gemma's alright." Kristina sat beside her with a nursing privacy shawl hanging from her neck as she few her youngest son. "I should have known better than to believe she'd turn on Jax or the club."

"Gemma's a lot of things," Molly piped up from a bean bag chair that sat in front of the couch. "But disloyal isn't one of them."

"She's tough. She'll be alright," Avery reassured them and thus herself.

When Opie hung up the phone, everyone gathered together to hear what he had to say.

"The calvary's on its way," he announced. "Jason and Sam should be here by early morning...if the weather isn't too bad. Everyone else is flying in from the west coast, so they won't be here until tomorrow night."

"What do you mean if the weather isn't too bad?" It was her doctor/Jason's younger sister Emily who asked the question that Avery badly wanted to hear the answer to.

"There's a small tropical depression that has a chance of turning and hitting us dead on," Opie watched her to gauge her reaction to the news. "If it does, no one's gonna be able to make it out here until it's over."

"This day just keeps getting worse and worse," Avery's mother, Carly, announced. For once, her dramatics were actually on par with the situation at hand.

"We'll be alright," Opie assured his anxious mother-in-law. "Sonny said he had this lighthouse reinforced to be hurricane-proof, and it held up for a century before he did that. We're safe here."

Well...that's what he thought, at least.
