I arrived back at my apartment after a short walk. All I wanted to do was crawl into my bed and go to sleep for a long time. If I was sleeping, I wouldn't be thinking about how screwed up my life was right now. The second that I flipped on the lights to my apartment, I was shocked to see that I had a guest...my dad no less.

"Dad? How did you get in here?"

I stammered. Did I leave the door unlocked? No, I couldn't have. I had no idea how my father got in my apartment or why he was here.

"I've come about your brother," I said as I took a deep breath. I'd heard about what he did and was very disappointed in him. Then I discovered what was really going on. "Have you seen him? It's very important that we find him."

"I don't have a brother."

I crossed my arms defensively and then sighed. I had disowned Jack for what he did to me and Dillon and I was sticking to it. He crossed the line and made my relationship get blown to bits. I'd never forgive him...ever. My dad seemed to be concerned about where Jack was, so I figured that I'd tell him what I knew.

"I haven't seen Jack, nor do I hope to see him ever again."

"What your brother did was horrible," I told her. "But he's in trouble. I don't think he was in his right mind when he did that. Jack's been living on his own since you left for college, and your mother and I went to London. I think the DiMeras got to him before he came here to see you."

"I'd love to be able to pin this Jack's behavior on the DiMeras, but there are some twisted things that people do that is not Stefano DiMera's, or any of the DiMera's, fault."

I shook my head and sighed heavily. I refused to let Jack off the hook for doing what he did. I knew that my father wanted to believe that my brother wasn't capable of being so hateful, but in all reality...he was.

"What Jack did...was all him."

"Are you sure?" I asked her. "Because this doesn't sound like Jack Jr. And there was a long time when we couldn't get in contact with him. Where is he now?"

"Dad, I don't know where he is and I really don't care to find out. You may not believe that Jack did what he did, but I saw him do it. My own brother deliberately destroyed my relationship just because he, personally, did not like Dillon."

I sighed heavily and shook my head. Did my dad honestly expect me to forget all about what Jack did? I would never get passed what my brother did and I didn't want Jack to be defended for what he did.

"I still need to find him," I told her. "The DiMeras did something to him, Abby. I don't know what, or if it has anything to do with what happened, but he's still my son and your brother."

I stood up and hugged my daughter. "I love both of you, alright? I don't want to lose either of you."

I hugged my father back and closed my eyes. He would never believe that Jack was capable of doing anything hateful, let along ruin my life. However, he was and he did...and I would never forgive him for it.

"I love you too dad."

I broke the hug and took a step backwards.

"Are you going to go and look for him?"

"I don't know where to start," I told her. "It's like he's dropped off the face of the earth. His bank account hasn't been touched in weeks, and none of his friends have seen or heard from him."

"I'm sure Jack is just doing this for attention. He might think that you will be so relieved when he comes back, that you'll forget about what he did."

I replied with a shrug. I knew that it was a calculating though, which would show very little of Jack as a person, but it was entirely possible. Never before would I have considered it, but I saw an ugly side to my brother and now nothing was too 'out there' for him.

"Why are you writing off your brother like this?" I asked her. "I know what he did was horrible, but he's still your little brother. And you still haven't introduced me to this current man in your life."

"No, he's not. A brother does not maliciously destroy his sister's happiness. What Jack did was plain hateful and for that, I will never forgive him."

I sighed sadly and shook my head. I hated that the once kind brother that I had known for years was gone and what was left was this young man that I didn't even recognize.

"I haven't introduced you to the current man in my life because there is none. Jack successfully broke us up."

"I'm sorry, baby," I told her. "When I find Jack, we're all going to sit down and discuss this as a family."

I shook my head and just sighed. That family meeting would never happen because I refused to be in the same room as my brother, let along talk to him. My dad could talk to Jack, but I'd definitely not be there.

"You can sit down and talk to him, but I'm not. I meant what I said before, he is out of my life. There are some things that are impossible to forgive and what he did is one of them."

"Don't do it for me, do it for your mother," I said. "She doesn't know about what Jack's done, but she does think the DiMeras are behind his disappearance."

"Please don't manipulate me by using the 'mom' card."

I sighed and looked away. I didn't appreciate him trying to do that to me because it was not fair. Nobody could force me to forgive my brother because forgiving him was a decision that only I could make alone. I was also an adult, so I made my own decisions now.

"I don't think the DiMera's are behind anything. I think this is Jack's attempt to get attention and you and mom are giving him what he wants."

"Abby," I told her. "It was the DiMeras who took him the last time, when you ran off to England to save us. I think they were re-programming him when they had him."

"Re-programming him? Dad are you listening to yourself? You are sounding like we are robots that can be forced to do things against our will."

I couldn't believe this. My dad may be willing to buy that crap, but I sure wasn't. I refused to believe that another person can actually control another human being to the point that the controlled has no power over what he or she does.

"Please listen to me when I tell you this. I love that you love Jack, but you need to accept that I won't be able to forgive him."

"Abby, I know what I'm talking about," I told her. "The DiMeras are working with a man named Cesar Faison, and he's a very deadly person. I think they're trying to find Jack."

"Dad, please. I do not want to hear this."

I walked over to my apartment door and opened it.

"I don't want to fight with you and I know that is what will happen if we don't end this conversation now."

We obviously were not going to agree when it came to Jack, so I thought it would be best if we didn't talk about him any more today.

"I love you, but it's been a long day and I need some time alone."

"Alright, but you need to watch out," I said as I kissed her cheek. I handed her a picture of Faison. "If you see this man, do not talk to him, and call me as soon as you hear from Jack, alright?"

I sighed and nodded. I figured that if I agreed to call him if I heard from my brother, I'd get him out of here faster and with that, end this conversation. I looked at the picture of the man that my dad had handed me.

"Okay, I will call you if I hear anything."

Jack Sr. left and as he headed outside, he looked up at the sky.

"Where are you?" Jack Sr. asked. "Come home to us, Jackie."


Far outside of Westland, Faison was looking over the cell where Jack Jr. was being held.

"Excellent, he's destroyed his life so badly that no one's bothering to look for him, just as we planned," Faison said.

"We still have much to do," EJ replied as he looked at Jack Jr. "Make sure you don't fail me."

I closed the door once my dad had gone and sighed sadly. I probably sounded really heartless, but I couldn't help that my anger was getting the best of me. I didn't think anyone would be all warm and fuzzy toward their sibling if he, or she, pulled what my brother pulled.
