massive inheritance from her and Viki's real brother: Todd Manning. Ultimately, Tina moves to Baltimore with C.J. and Sarah in 1996, returning briefly in 1997 to say good-bye to Cord when he leaves for London. 2003–04 Sarah returns to Llanview in 2003, calling herself “Flash” and singing in a band with Riley Colson, with whom she is also romantically involved. Sarah is looking for her brother, C.J., with whom she has lost touch. Sarah had also lost track of Tina, explaining that Tina's parenting had forced both her and her brother to run away. Sarah is terrorized and nearly murdered by the Music Box Killer in 2004. He strangles her, but she survives and her voice is saved. Cord returns to bring her back to London for further recovery, and she breaks up with Riley. 2007–09 Sarah reappears in Chicago in June 2007, discovering that her boyfriend Hunter Atwood has been holding Todd Manning hostage. She secretly calls Todd's ex-wife, Blair Cramer, to inform her of Todd's whereabouts and asks that Blair not involve the police. Blair comes to Chicago with Cristian Vega and Rex Balsom, but Hunter has taken Todd elsewhere. Cristian and Rex insist that she return with them to Llanview; not eager to reunite with her family, she refuses. Sarah finally agrees only if she can stay with Rex or Cristian, claiming that she has been staying "off the Buchanan grid" and living off money from her parents. Hunter turns up in Llanview, Todd is ultimately found, and Hunter is killed. Sarah goes to talk to her great-grandfather, Asa Buchanan, but finds out he had died the night before. Cord comes to town for the funeral, and he and Sarah have a brief reunion before he returns to London. Sarah takes a job as a waitress at Capricorn, but soon pressures Cristian for more responsibilities as a talent booker. Sarah and Cristian then become romantically involved. Tina reappears in town in June 2008 as the Crown Princess of Mendorra, and finds herself on the run from the U.S. Ambassador to Mendorra, Jonas Chamberlain, who wants the Mendorran Crown Jewels that she has stolen. Tina finds refuge with Sarah and Cristian, but Cristian and his brother, Antonio, discover that Jonas has abducted Sarah and her roommate Talia Sahid. Tina, Cristian, and Antonio agree to accompany Jonas back to Mendorra in order to exchange the women for the jewels.
