Chapter 2

BO & HOPE'S HOUSE
HOPE: Lost him? Honey, Shawn loves you. You wouldn't be able to lose him if you tried.
BELLE: No, I know that. But, that's not what I meant.
HOPE: Okay, then what did you mean?
BELLE: I mean I can't find him.
HOPE: You can't find him? Belle, what are you talking about?
BELLE: Shawn and I were planning on coming back home with Claire for a while. After Shawn got news of you and Bo getting back together, he knew he needed to come home. So, we got back into Salem and stopped at a diner on Hudson Street. The waitress accidently spilled some coffee on Shawn's new shirt, so he went into the bathroom to clean it. After a little while, Shawn didn't come back. So, I went to check on him, and he wasn't there. I tried calling his cell phone, and there was no answer. I don't know where he is or why he isn't answering. What do I do, Hope?
Hope put her arms around Belle.
HOPE: It's okay. It's okay. We'll figure something out. I'll call Bo and we'll see what we can do.

OLD HOUSE
A hand is still caressing Shawn-D's body. We can now see that his hands and legs are chained to the bed. We hear a woman's voice.
WOMAN: Oh, Shawn. I love you so much.
Shawn-D twitches and then begins to mutter.
SHAWN-D: Belle...
The hand slaps Shawn-D in the face.
WOMAN: No! Bad Shawn! Never say that name ever again!
The hand slaps Shawn-D again. Shawn-D's eyes open.
SHAWN-D: Where am I?
He takes a minute to look around at where he is. He then looks at the hand that slapped him and sees who it belongs to.
SHAWN-D: No. Oh, no! Not you!

Gotta be Jan... the nut case... But how would she know they would come home & stop at that diner???

[Kpatch]

Oh wow. Great start Andre. And fantastic dialog and imagery. The part about Shawn disappearing at the diner reminded me of the movie Vanished with Sandra Bullock and Jeff Bridges. One of the creepiest movies ever.

Thanks for the chapter!

Chapter 3

POLICE STATION
Hope and Belle are sitting in Bo's office. Bo is sat behind his desk with a pen and some paper.
BELLE: Bo, I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but since Shawn is your son, should you really be working on this case?
BO: Oh, of course. Don't worry, my judgment won't be affected at all, even though Shawn's my son.
BELLE: Okay.
BO (yelling): Now, I want to find the son of a biscuit that kidnapped my son! And when I do, consequences will never be the same!
Hope puts her arms around Bo.
HOPE: Whoa there, Brady! What happened to your judgment not being affected?
BO: Right of course. Sorry, I just had to get that out of my system. Anyway, Belle, I have a few questions for you. When was the last time you saw Shawn?
BELLE: Yesterday afternoon.
BO: Where?
BELLE: The Hudson Street Diner.
BO: Did you notice anyone acting suspiciously?
BELLE: Well, the waitress was flirting with Shawn a bit, but that's not unusual. She was a younger woman, and most of the young waitresses do flirt with Shawn, even though most of them can tell that he's married.
BO: Can you think of anyone who might have a grudge against Shawn?
BELLE: No, not really.
BO: Is there anything else you can tell me about this waitress? Even small details can help.
BELLE: No, I don't...no, wait. There is something. She looked familiar. Almost too familiar. I'm sure I've seen her before. All of us have. Even the two of you.
BO: So, who do you think it was?
BELLE: Well, I think it might be...but, no, that's impossible. She hasn't been seen for just about six years now.
HOPE: Belle, who are you talking about? Who do you think it was?
BELLE: Well...okay, this gonna sound crazy...but that waitress at the Hudson Street Diner...she looked like Jan Spears.

OLD HOUSE
SHAWN-D: This has got to be a mistake! I must be dreaming! There is no way that you can be here!
The woman is revealed to be Jan Spears.
JAN: Now, Shawn, how can you say something like that?
SHAWN-D: How can I...how can I say something like that?! Oh, I don't know, Jan! How about we start with the fact that you ruined my life for the better part of seven years! Or, the fact that you nearly destroyed my relationship with Belle! Or, the fact that you almost had Mimi put on trial for murder!
JAN: Mimi is insignificant and Belle doesn't deserve you. You deserve a real woman, Shawn. A woman like me. Besides, aren't you happy to see me?
SHAWN-D: Happy to...happy to see you?! No, Jan, in fact, I am not happy to see you! I have never been more unhappy to see anybody in my entire life!
JAN: Oh, Shawn! You'll get over it soon. Trust me, by the time I'm through with you, you won't even be able to remember Belle's name.

[sportsgirl]

So that is what happened to Jan? Looks like the therapy she may have received didn't work! Hey maybe Philip can help with this???

[fluffysmom]

Jan I hope your therapist finds a new line of work. She seems as crazy as ever. The stories off to a great start Andre! Can't wait to read more!

Chapter 4

POLICE STATION
HOPE: Jan Spears? Haven't heard that name in a while.
BELLE: Yeah. Thank goodness. I mean, she's been in a coma for the last six years, and it's not like she's going to be getting out of it anytime soon.
Bo looked away from Belle.
BELLE: Bo? What's with the look?
BO: I was waiting for a better time to tell you.
BELLE: Tell me what?
BO: Jan Spears was let out of the hospital almost a month ago.
BELLE: Wait, she what?
BO: She came out of the coma two months ago. They did about a month of testing to see if she had acquired any brain damage...
Belle gave Bo a look.
BO: I mean more than she already had. And, when she didn't, they released her.
BELLE: Great! So, Jan Spears, who tortured Shawn and I for the better part of seven years goes into a coma, wakes up after six years, and is tested negative for brain damage! Great! Just great! So, how do we find her?
BO: That's just the thing. We don't.

JAN'S HOUSE
Shawn-D is still chained to his bed. Jan enters the room, wearing a sexy nurse outfit.
JAN: Hey, Shawn.
SHAWN-D: What do you want, Jan?
JAN: I wanted you to hear the song I wrote for you. I think it describes our current situation perfectly.
SHAWN-D: I see. Well, forgive me for not being enthusiastic about it, Jan, but hearing a song written by my personal stalker who is currently holding me captive is a little creepy.
Jan ignored Shawn-D and proceeded to belt out a song. Actually, she hadn't written the song at all. All she had done was change some of the lyrics to it. The song was “Don't You Want Me” by the Human League. You can get the tune to it here:
JAN (singing): I was being abused by Nicole's psycho father Paul when I met you. You picked me up, you got me out, and turned me around. Turned me into someone new. Now, twelve years later on, you've got the world at your feet. Success has been so easy for you. But you seem to have forgotten just one little thing, and that's what I can do to you.
SHAWN-D: Don't.
JAN: (singing) Don't you want me? (speaking) See, Shawn? You're joining in! (singing) You know I can't believe it when you say that you don't need me.
SHAWN-D: Don't.
JAN (singing): Don't you want me? You've got to know it's hard to think of you not being near me. It's much to late to find you think you've changed your mind. You'd better change it back before I make you sorry! Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me? Oh! Don't you want me, baby? Don't you want me? Oh!
SHAWN-D: Interesting song, Jan. Actually, come to think of it, I think I can add another verse to it. Would you like to hear it?
JAN: Of course I would!
So, Shawn-D sang his verse of Jan's bizarre parody of “Don't You Want Me”. And it went something like this:
SHAWN-D (singing): I helped you after you got hurt by Nicole's father, Paul. That much is true. But even then you knew I had eyes only for Belle. I had no real interest in you. Saying I was the father of your unborn baby was hard for me to do. After all you've said and done to me how can you still think that I would be in love with you? So, no, I don't want you. I know it's hard to believe, but it's a truth that you must come to...
JAN (yelling): Stop!
Jan pulled a knife out of her nurse outfit. She held it against Shawn—D's neck. That made him shut up real quick.
SHAWN-D: Jan...
JAN: Shut up! Just, shut up! Now, you listen to me, and you listen good. You will NEVER get out of here. I will make SURE of that! You are MINE, Shawn Brady! Do you understand me? If I can't have you, then I'll make sure that nobody else can either!

[MrsM]

Man that chick is crazy. She needs a tranquilizer and straight jacket, Stat!!!

[fluffysmom]

I enjoyed the chapter Andre! Jan is as crazy as ever!!
