One Life to Live Fan Fiction
The Thornharts Return
Chapter Three
By Alisa Blevins
Proofread by Iram
At
the Waterfront Inn,
several
Cherryvale police officers were milling about the motel room that Marty
Saybrooke/Thornhart had rented, writing reports and looking
for clues as to where she might have disappeared.
Bo Buchanan was in a corner of the room speaking to an officer about the
case.
“I’d
like to assist in the search if you don’t mind, Constable Crain.” Bo was
saying. “I know it’s out of my
jurisdiction, but I am close to this case….Mrs. Thornhart and her husband and
I go way back. They’re like
family to me.” He finished.
The
burly, middle-aged Constable replied. “I don’t think there would be any harm
in it Commissioner Buchanan. Besides,
we could use the help.” He replied with a friendly smile.
“Thanks.
I appreciate it.” Bo said, shaking the Constable’s hand.
At
that the Constable, and his officers began briefing Bo on how and where they
would be searching for Marty.
Meanwhile,
at an airport some 30 miles away, Patrick Thornhart stepped off of an airplane
that had just arrived from Ireland. He
retrieved the meager luggage he had hastily packed, and went to the airport car
rental service. An hour later,
Patrick was on the road, headed to the Waterfront Inn in Cherryvale, where Bo
had told him he would be.
The
weather had begun to turn cold and a bit rainy, and Patrick had to keep
reminding himself to slow down and drive carefully. He would be of no use to Marty if he was injured in an
automobile accident. The drive
seemed to take forever, and Patrick tried to occupy his mind with happier
thoughts; thoughts of when he and
Marty first met; thoughts of the
day their daughter had been born; thoughts of how lucky a man he was to have
both Marty and Penny. As he thought
of these wonderful things, Patrick relaxed a bit.
As
he rounded a bend in the road, there was
a stalled car in Patrick’s pathway. Another car was coming from the other direction.
Patrick tried to brake, but with the cold, rainy weather, the road was
slick, and Patrick’s rental car skidded of control.
Narrowly missing the stalled car, Patrick’s rental car left the
roadway, dropped down the edge of a steep embankment, and landed on it’s side.
Patrick lay unconscious with blood trickling down his forehead where he
had hit his head.
Some
time passed, and as Patrick began to regain consciousness, his head throbbing
from the blow he had received, he felt himself being removed from the vehicle.
He then found himself lying on the damp ground, trying to focus on the
face above him.
“Well,
Irish…long time no see, eh?”
The
voice was familiar. Patrick again
tried to focus on the face. He
looked up and recognition washed over him.
Waving
a little wave, Todd Manning smiled with a hint of sardonic sarcasm on his face.
Patrick
groaned and lay his head back on the ground.
Marty
sat still tethered to her chair in the sparsely lit room she had been kept
captive in. She had tried to loosen
herself from her binds, but to no avail. They
were far too tight. The circulation
was leaving her hands. “What am I
going to do?” She thought to herself. “There
has to be a way out of here..there HAS to be.”
Will
Bo and the Cherryvale police be able to find Marty? Will Patrick make it to Cherryvale, after his accident, and
now in the company of his mortal enemy, Todd Manning? Come back next week and find out!
