{ Greta's POV (surprise) }

After about ten minutes of Tori being gone Luca comes franticly running down the stairs while shirtless. Everyone else is already up in the dinning room for breakfast.

"Where's Tori?" Luca asks

"She isn't here." I answer

"Where is she?" Luca asks in more of a commanding voice

"She's out." I tell him politely

"Where?" Luca asks getting more impatient

"She said it was a personal breakfast with Stefan's wife Vera, and she didn't tell me why, or where." I tell him not willing to lie to the man I deeply respect.

"It's not safe." Luca says

"She's aware. She took precautions in case anything goes wrong. I know you trust her, but trust her a little more. She's not only stronger but smarter than any of us realize." I say trying to calm him even though I'm not calm myself.

I trust Tori but I'm worried.

"You don't understand.." Luca says warningly

"I understand you care for her, but I know she has something in place in case something goes wrong. Tori knew there would be a chance that the Russians would track her, but she took that chance. I don't think she should have, but it was ultimately her decision to make. I don't know much, but I know that I trust her instincts more than anyone else's. Including yours Sir. I helped raise you, and I've been around this mansion longer than you've been alive..and I'm telling you that Tori will handle whatever comes to her." I tell him as politely and calmly as possible

"Greta you are out of line!" I hear Valente say behind me, I turn and look, only see everyone else is behind him. I guess they heard us talking. Nothing stays secret in this house.

"No she isn't. She's right. We have to trust Tori's instincts." Luca says
but still doesn't look relieved

"I'm not meaning to disrespect anyone, but from the moment she walked into this mansion my loyalties have laid with her. I'm not saying she'll be safe, because I'm not God and I do not know...but I do know that she is every bit of the mafia, but so much more. I trust her, and I trust whatever plan she has." I say politely

Then I excuse myself to go clean up the dinning room while saying a little prayer over Tori and even Vera who I hear is pregnant.

I began to get anxious after Tori has been gone for an hour, and I start getting this bad feeling ; after a lot of debating I go try to find Luca to give him the message....

but before I can the doorbell rings. I go and answer the door and see a panicked Vera.
I open the door to let her inside, and she walks in as I shut the door behind her.

"Where's Tori?" I ask already feeling a pit in my stomach

"They took her.." Vera gets out before breaking down in my arms. I feel my blood freeze, and I do the only thing I can do I yell "LUCA!"

Soon Luca, Valente, Lorenzo, Diego, Marco, Alex, Riccardo, Francesco, Angelina, and Elena all run into the entrance hall. Everyone seems panicked and confused.. but Luca seems frozen and looks like he's just experienced his worst nightmare.

"What happened?" Marco questions

"Where is Tori?" Luca asks trying to control his emotions, as if he already knew, but wanted to be sure.

Vera straightened up and wiped her face and says "She picked me up and we had breakfast. As we were leaving the restaurant Tori became alarmed, I don't know why but she just had a bad feeling. She gave me instructions to act natural and stay by her side. I did as she asked when we got to the parking garage, Russians came out of no where and surrounded us. There were so many of them...."

"Where is she?!" Luca questions in a demanding yet concerned tone

"I think they took her. She told me to run, and gave me the keys, a knife, and her purse. I tried to stay with her but she wouldn't allowed it. She killed over ten men before I even got into the car but I did as she asked. I sped the whole way here. She told me to come here and tell all of you what happened." Vera explains

"That's all?" Luca asks taking deep breaths

"No actually. I don't know what she meant, and it could be nothing, but she mentioned setting a timer here." Vera says

"A timer?" Lorenzo questions

Vera just nods

"I'm her timer." I confess

"You?" Alex questions

I nod as an reply.

"A timer for what?" Luca asks

"She gave me instructions in case something went wrong. I'm suppose to give you this..." I say as I hand Luca a piece of paper that Tori gave to me to give him.

"Mom, Angel take Vera into the other room, and let her call Stefan, and Vera tell him to come here, and only bring his most trust men so they can stay here with the two of you until this is all over." Luca orders before reading the paper I handed him

"That's exactly what Tori said.." Vera whispers

Elena and Angelina takes Vera into another room to let her call Stefan. Luca looked as if he needed to kill someone.

"Did she say anything else?" Luca asks as he sees the random numbers on the paper.

"Yes. She said that if anything happened to give you the paper, and to tell you to remember that she's always in control." I tell him

He lets out a dark laugh, and shakes his head as if he can't believe it.

"She didn't need to prove it."
Luca mumbles to himself

"I still don't know what this means.." Luca finally says after looking at the paper for a while, then he looks at Riccardo and says "Get the footage from the parking garage, and Marco take some men with you out there, and see if you can find anything."

Marco nods and leaves going to the restaurant, and Riccardo goes into the tech room to do as he was told.

"This is Tori we are talking about so I'm calling in some of my best men to come join me here because when we find her I want to be prepared for anything." Alex says and then walks into another room, Luca nods and surprisingly lets him do it.

I know Luca cares for Tori deeply,

I just hope they get their chance at happiness together...

I hope she stays alive long enough for Luca to find her...

I'll never forgive myself for not stopping her if she dies..
