AN: Not edited at all... I just didn't want to keep all of you waiting any longer.

Elena was groggy and confused when her eyes began to open. When she couldn't move her arms she began to panic then she realized what happened and the horrible feeling of being helpless and terrified kicked in. She saw two unknown men standing there staring at her and she began thrashing around trying to free herself from the ropes and they stood there laughing at her feeble attempt. Knowing very well she wouldn't be able to free herself no matter how hard she yanked down.

The men had looked familiar but she had seen so many new faces since they arrived on the island and trying to figure out who they were was next to impossible. The tears were flowing freely down her cheeks and her body shivered from being cold due to her just being in a bikini. Elena glanced around the room to see if she could tell where they took her but there were no windows. The next two faces Elena saw made her want to vomit when they walked in the room she was hanging in.

Jacob Vargas smirked at the wife of his top rival as she looked at the man next to him with stunned eyes. "You... mi amor will be helping me take down that arrogant husband of yours." Jacob said as he strolled closer to her but her eyes stood locked on the other man that entered with him. "If you had just let that bastard die the night I shot him my father would have already been in control of everything Moretti owns."

"How could you do this to Lorenzo and your cousin?" she snapped at Rob and he just shook his head at her. "Answer me Rob!"

Having her eyes locked on Rob caused her not to see the hand that swung out slapping her hard across the face. "You will not order one of my men around, Rob no longer works for Moretti he is part of my organization now." Jacob snapped at her as she hung her head low crying from the hit. All the men laughed as Jacob yanked Elena's head back up by her hair and she cried out in pain. "Your father should have chosen me instead of Lorenzo Moretti then you wouldn't be tied to this pipe... instead you would have been tied to my bed."

"I will not help you!" Elena yelled at him only bringing another evil laugh from the man.

"You already are." He said crashing his lips into hers in an aggressive one-sided kiss. Elena did the only thing she could think of and bit down hard on his lip drawing blood. Jacob's hands instantly went to her throat as he yelled in pain, he cut off her air supply as her teeth released his lip. "You do that again to me and I will fucking kill you." He growled in a menacing voice.

Elena could feel herself fading out as it became harder to breath with his hands tightly squeezing her neck. When her eyes began to flutter close Jacob released her throat and smacked her face harder, this time leaving a defined handprint on her. He ordered Rob to take her picture showing exactly what had been done to her then it was sent to Lorenzo. When they received no reply after a while a second picture was sent.

Lorenzo stood in the meeting room pacing as most of his men stood around watching him. All of his men in Miami had been accounted for already but there were still six of his men missing and that didn't include the two that were killed. He didn't know who he could trust for all he knew the man or men that helped kidnap Elena could be standing there with him. Enzo Marzano and all of his higher ranked men stood towards the back of the room waiting on his nephew to give orders on what to do.

"I can't get a hold of Rob." Tony said walking over to Lorenzo.

"None of the other missing men are answering either." Sal said walking up to them. "Vinny and I have been calling nonstop."

"Track all six phones and my wife's." Lorenzo said as he ran his hand down his face. "If any of the six men are breathing when you find them put a bullet in their head."

"Got it Boss." Sal said quickly and began to walk away.

"Sal." Lorenzo said stopping him. "When you get a lock on my wife's phone I am the first call you make."

"Of course." Sal said nodding his head and quickly walked back to Vinny.

"Enzo, can your men find Antonio, Rocco and Dante?" Lorenzo asked looking back at his uncle.

"Carmine and I will go find them now." Angelo said stepping forward.

"We got this, Lorenzo." Carmine said walking over to his cousin with Angelo next to him. "We are going to find your wife."

"I know we are and whoever has her and helped, will fucking die." Lorenzo growled.

"Wouldn't have it any other way." Angelo said with a nod then him and Carmine left.

"Tony split the rest into groups of five." Lorenzo said looking over at Tony. "I want three of our men, one of Russo and one of Marzano. I want every building, shack or hut searched." He growled loudly making sure every man standing there heard him. "If they don't let you search... they die. I don't give a fuck who it is."

All the men nodded in unison then Tony began splitting them up making sure to put at least one trusted man in each group. As tony did that Lorenzo pulled his phone out and opened the picture of Elena again. He wanted to respond to the messages but stopped himself from doing so because he didn't want the assholes to know that he was looking for her. Seeing her like that was killing him and the rage he felt coursing through his veins was an all-time high.

Enzo saw the look in Lorenzo's eyes and knew it well because he himself had been that way once before. Enzo and Roberto walked over to him after the room began to empty. "Lorenzo, I have still available to help."

"Enzo I need your men to search this hotel from top to bottom." He said looking up at him. "Have them get with Vinny and he can give them a full access card that will open every door in this building."

"Done." Enzo said looking over at his right hand man. "Roberto take men with you and don't leave one inch of this place unsearched."

"Got it Capo." Roberto said nodding at both bosses.

After a few hours of pacing the room waiting on word from any of them out there Lorenzo began to lose his mind. Not being able to wait any longer Lorenzo and Tony decided to the checks on the missing men themselves as their phones began pinging the locations. One by one each man was found dead and they all had been scattered through the island. With each check Lorenzo called Sal within five minutes of arriving letting him know what was up. Just as the sun began to rise again the location came up on Rob's phone and Lorenzo looked over at Tony.

"There is a chance Rob could be dead like the others." Lorenzo said knowing this one was going to be the hardest for Tony.

"I know." Tony said as they drove towards the Location. "I rather Rob be dead than a traitor."

"You and I both brother." Lorenzo said as they pulled up to what looked like an abandon water station.

Both men climbed out of the SUV and glanced around noticing the area was isolated from the rest. Having a bad feeling about the place Lorenzo called Sal before going in and telling him to send extra men. Lorenzo pulled one gun out and Tony had both of his out as they entered the building and began searching it, going room by room.

When Elena heard the door creak open her heart dropped into her stomach as Lorenzo and Tony came rushing in the room. "It's a trap... run!" she screamed as she began trying to free herself again feeling the ropes dig into her wrists more. "Tony get him out of here!"

"Elena..." Lorenzo began to say but was cut off by another voice.

"Don't move any closer to her." Jacob growled as he and two of his men along with Rob came into view.

Lorenzo halted his movement and looked towards the men that were beginning to surround him and Tony. Seeing Tony's cousin Rob standing with Jacob and his men had Lorenzo seething with anger as Tony stood there in shock. Lorenzo had only the one gun in hand and it was aimed at Jacob, he had another but reaching for it wasn't the smartest move yet and he knew it. Tony had both of his guns cocked and aimed on two men, leaving Rob the only one without a gun aimed on him.

Lorenzo stole a quick glance over at Rob. "You're dead!" he growled at the man he trusted for years.

"Doesn't look that way from where I'm standing." Rob said sarcastically as he glared at Lorenzo but softened his look when glanced at his cousin. "You're standing on the wrong side cousin."

"You're not my fucking family." Tony seethed through gritted teeth as his gun went from the other guy to Rob. "You fucking traitor!"

Jacob got tired of the banter between the three men and wanted Lorenzo's attention back on him. "Enough!" he yelled gaining Lorenzo's attention again. "Moretti you have no idea how lucky you are." Jacob said as his eyes raked up and down Elena's nearly naked body.

"You lay one fucking finger on my wife and you will be the first one to fucking die!" he growled through gritted teeth.

Jacob let out a loud evil laugh along with all the men that were with him. "It's a little late for that threat." He said using the barrel of his gun to lift Elena's chin higher showing the bruises on her face and neck causing her to whimper.

Lorenzo growled low and deep in his throat wanting to charge at Jacob at that very moment but with him having his gun on Elena had stopped Lorenzo from moving. Then he desperately wanted to fire one single shot into Jacob's head but knew that if he did there was a huge chance none of them were going to make it out alive not even her. Lorenzo didn't care if he died, hell he was wishing it was him hanging from that pipe not her. He wanted at least Elena to live through this, she didn't deserve to die this way.

"I must say she does taste as sweet as she looks, too bad the bitch can't keep her teeth to herself." Jacob said snapping Lorenzo from his thoughts and that's when Lorenzo noticed Jacob's overly swollen lip.

Jacob jabbed Elena in the cheek with the barrel of the gun and she let out a small sob. "You have me here now let my wife go. Keep this between us, leave her out of it." Lorenzo said keeping his eyes locked with hers. "Baby, I'm going to get you out of here."

"No you're not." Jacob said turning his gun from Elena back to Lorenzo. "I want all of it!"

"Fucker, you want all of what?"

"Your empire." He said with the same damn evil laugh that was really beginning to grind Lorenzo's nerves. "Your businesses... yours and Russo's ranks... your WIFE!" Jacob said smacking her very hard on the ass causing her to cry out in pain as her body swung slightly from the hit.

That was all Lorenzo could take, his eyesight went red with anger the minute Jacob's hand assaulted Elena in front of him. He no longer wanted to put a bullet in him, Lorenzo wanted to kill him with his bare hands. Lorenzo's movement was so sudden that Jacob didn't realize what was going on until he was slammed into the wall. In that moment Tony pulled the trigger on both his guns killing both men instantly then turned both guns and aimed them at his cousin who was in the process of trying to get a clean shot on Lorenzo.

"Pull that trigger and you will be the next to fall." Tony growled at him.

"He's going to kill me." Rob said looking over at Tony with his gun still aimed in Lorenzo's direction. "You and I share the same blood... you're going to side with Moretti over me."

Elena's eyes went wide as she watched Lorenzo exchange blows with Jacob. Both men had lost their guns when they went down to the ground. The fight between them wasn't in favor of either, the only thing Lorenzo had over Jacob was the rage coursing through his veins. Tony stood there keeping his eye on Rob but glanced towards the fight every few seconds making sure Lorenzo wouldn't be on the losing end.

"Put your gun down." Tony said sternly to his cousin.

"I'll put it down and help you free Elena but you got to let me go before he kills Vargas." Rob said nodding towards Lorenzo who had looked to be getting the upper hand on Jacob.

"Do you honestly think I would be dumb enough to let you anywhere near Elena?" Tony snapped at him as he placed himself between the hanging woman and his cousin. "I'm not letting you walk out of here and I sure as fuck will not let you close enough to make her your hostage again."

"Tony you heard him... I'm dead." Rob said trying to plead with him. "We're family, are you going to let him kill me."

While Tony and Rob argued with each other Elena kept her eyes on Lorenzo. He had blood seeping from a split lip and a cut above his eye but other than that he didn't look bad. Jacob rolled from under Lorenzo after jamming both of his fists into Lorenzo's gut. He tried to scramble for one of the discarded guns but Lorenzo wasn't down long enough. Lorenzo climbed on top of Jacob's back and in one swift motion the sickening crack echoed through the room as his head was pulled in an unnatural position.

Rob's eyes went wide as Lorenzo dropped Jacob's limped body to the ground. His menacing eyes locked on Rob as he climbed back to his feet, using the back of his hand Lorenzo wiped the blood from his lip. "You're next." Lorenzo growled at him in a voice that had all of them scared but no one more than Elena was.

"Lorenzo?!" Elena cried out as she tried to free herself again pulling hard at the ropes tied tightly around her wrists.

Her soft but scared voice snapped him from the rage induced trance he was in. Lorenzo glanced over his shoulder and saw her looking up at her wrist as she tried to free herself. Quickly shaking his head from the sick thoughts going through it on how many different ways he could kill Rob. Lorenzo moved swiftly to her and placed his hands on her hips causing Elena's body to freeze. He knew her arms had to have been in pain from hanging so long so he lifted her body relieving some of the pressure and she groaned from the movement.

"Elena, baby I need you to wrap your legs around me so I can let you go and free your hands." He said in a soft voice and watched her nod slowly as she did what he said. Once her legs were tightly wrapped around him Lorenzo reached up and wiped the blood from her chin then he tried to untie her wrists but the ropes wouldn't budge. "I need a knife." He said glancing over his shoulder at Tony.

Tony nodded his head as he holstered one gun and pulled his knife out holding it out to Lorenzo while keeping his eyes locked on Rob. After taking the knife Lorenzo reached up again and cut the rope that was around the pipe. Once her hands were free Elena slumped forward onto Lorenzo and he quickly wrapped his arms around her holding her to him. Lorenzo could feel her body trembling and he knew she was crying because he could feel her tears on his neck.

"Lorenzo get Elena out of here and I will handle this traitor." Tony said nodding towards the door.

"I'm not leaving you." Lorenzo said shaking his head.

"I'll be fine." Tony said sternly.

"We'll be outside this door." Lorenzo said as he walked towards the door with Elena still clinging to him.

When they were in the other room Elena unwrapped her legs from him and tried to stand on her own but her legs didn't have the strength anymore. Lorenzo wrapped an arm around her while removing his coat then had her put it on. He then squatted down on one knee letting her sit on his other leg to relax her aching body. Rob's screams and cries could be heard through the whole building they were in. Whatever Tony was doing to him in there was painful and being dragged out.

"Elena why would you tell me to run?" Lorenzo asked as he tried to keep her mind off of what was going on in the other room.

"I didn't want him to kill you." Elena said softly. "I wanted to save you."

"It is my job to save you." Lorenzo said as he smoothed her hair back. "Your life is more valuable than mine... I will never leave you behind, I would die first."

After a while Lorenzo couldn't take the wait any longer, Lorenzo just wanted to get his wife back to hotel. "I need to get Tony to hurry this up, I need you to wait right here for me." he said in a low voice and Elena shook her head no not wanting to be alone or away from him. "You are not going to like what you see in there, please don't come in with me."

"I don't want to be alone." Elena said softly. "I can't be alone."

"Alright." Lorenzo said hearing the crack in her voice.

Lorenzo pulled them to a standing position and wrapped an arm around her waist then walked them to the door. When he opened the door Tony was standing over Rob, his fists were completely bloody and Rob's face barely recognizable. Elena fisted Lorenzo shirt as she buried her face into his chest, he pulled her body closer to his own as Tony looked over at them.

All the years that Lorenzo and Tony had been friends he never saw the hurt in his eyes like he did at that moment. Rob was Tony's family not just through the mafia but through blood and he felt betrayed by him. Knowing he didn't want his closest friend to live with taking his own family out Lorenzo pulled his gun out and aimed it at Rob.

"Fratello ho questo." Lorenzo said in a low voice. Tony nodded his head at Lorenzo and stepped away from Rob. Without second thought Lorenzo pulled the trigger killing Rob instantly. Elena's body tensed and she muffled a cry. "It's over." Lorenzo said as Tony took the gun from him then Lorenzo wrapped his other arm around her. "We need to get you out of here."

Rather than letting her walk Lorenzo held her close as he bent down placing his arm behind her knees and lifted her up. Tony walked over to Jacob's dead body and picked up Lorenzo other gun then the three of them left. Just as they were coming out of the building Sal, Vinny, Angelo and Carmine were running up to them. Lorenzo nodded his head towards Tony and the men went over to him as Lorenzo took Elena to the SUV. Once Tony explained what needed to be done the three of them headed back to the hotel. The war was far from over and Lorenzo knew it, that had been just one small battle and he wasn't going to rest until every person connected to Vargas was dead.
