Katie groaned as her eyes fluttered open. When her vision became unblurry, she looked to her left to see Topper driving his boat. But, he wasn't alone, there was someone standing next to him.

She didn't know who it was, and she couldn't make out the person from their backside. But, when they turned around, she felt her stomach drop. Her jaw would have dropped just as far if her mouth wasn't taped shut.

"Well, well, well," Rafe said as we slowly walked towards Katie.

The fear within her was taking over. She was vulnerable, tied up, and terrified.

"Long time, no see, babe," Rafe said as he crouched in front of Katie, "How you been? Oh wait..." He paused, using laughter to fill the silence, "You can't talk!" He exclaimed.

He tapped his finger on the tape that was stuck across her mouth. She grunted in frustration, trying to get him to leave her alone so she could find some way out of this.

Despite Rafe staying close to her, she looked around for a way to untie herself. But, alas, there was nothing. Nothing in reach, nothing in sight. Katie was stuck.

She grunted in frustration again, this time, tears fell from her eyes. She wanted Kie, she wanted John B, she wanted JJ.

"Where are we going?" Rafe asked out loud, obviously trying to make something of Katie's noises of frustration, "Oh, no where special," He teased.

Katie's eyes darted over to Topper, who began turning off the boat and docking it. She looked back up as Rafe bent down to un-tie her. If she could just break free and run, she could get away, no mater where they were.

"Boat is docked," Topper shouted from the front of the boat.

Katie's eyes darted back over to him and he flashed her a smile. Was that supposed to make her feel better about being kidnapped? Seriously, Topper needed to get his head out of his ass.

Rafe looked down at Katie, eyes menacing, as he grabbed her hands and retied them behind her back.

"Don't worry darling," He said, "I won't tie it too tight."

With a smile, Rafe tugged the rope extra hard causing it to tighten extra tight. Katie shrieked and threw her head back in pain. More tears fell from her eyes as she looked back at Rafe.

"Oh, sorry cupcake," Rafe said, "I thought you liked it rough."

Katie's expression hardened as she stared into Rafe's eyes. Him calling her 'cupcake' really irked her. JJ was the first person to call her that, and he was supposed to be the only one who called her that.

Rafe lifted Katie off the ground, her back to the dock. He helped her gain her balance, before turning her around. She looked over at the dock, which looked awfully familiar, before looking over the land. Her eyes widened at the realization of where they had taken her.

"I told you we weren't going anywhere special," Rafe said as he drug her to the edge of the boat, "Just a little old party."

Kie grunted again in protest, but it was no use. She was tied up and Rafe had all the control. He had complete control of her...somehow he always did.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Sarah shouted when she noticed Topper walking across the yard.

"I'm here to win you back," He said.

"Topper, I am over you! Take a hint!" Sarah yelled.

She wanted to slap him but she felt it might have not been the best choice. So, she refrained.
