My Revenge

Disclaimer: I don't own them. And now that Reilly has really screwed everything up, I doubt I'd even want to!

A/N: Okay, I've never written anything but "Friends" fics before, so this is my first shot at a "Days" one. What inspired me to do it was Jack's recent death. I'm sure most of you are probably angry with JER for getting rid of him like he's always wanted to. If you ask me, that b*****d should have never been re-hired! So in a fit of anger, I decided to write what should have happened. This is my revenge! (Hence the title). Enough of my ranting, here goes nothing!

~~

Jennifer's mind reeled in disbelief. How could this happen? It couldn't be real. Could it? Jack was a good person. He didn't deserve to die so early. How was she going to deal with this if he doesn't make it? 'No. He has to make it. He just has to. For Abby… for me… for everyone who is dear to him.' She tried to shake off this feeling of doom. She tried to think about the positive, but there was still this voice in the back of her head, telling her not to get her hopes too high. She wasn't going to give up on her Jack that easily. She had to keep up hope that he was going to make it through the surgery and come back to their home. Their home. It just wouldn't be the same without him.

She looked around the waiting room at the glum faces seated there. Then she saw the seven suspects. Anyone of them could be Jack's attacker. Jennifer got a look of contempt in her eyes. 'Mark my words. Whoever did this, is going to pay for what they did. To Abe and Jack.' They just stood there, none of them even showing a hint of sincerity. Of course there was Sami, trying to cover her tracks and say that Jack was a "friend." Everyone knew she was at odds with Abe, and probably Jack as well, since he was digging up evidence on the same high profile case as Abe.

Then there was Kate. Apparently Abe had found something on her, but what was unknown to most Salem residents. Little did they know, she was a high-class call girl for the one and only Stefano DiMera. Abe had somehow uncovered this information, and he was determined to let Roman in on it. Kate knew that if Roman were to find out, their relationship would most likely come to a halt. She knew she had to keep Abe from spilling the beans, but the big question was: Exactly how far was she willing to go?

Kate's son, Lucas, was also suspected. He is now one of Tony DiMera's henchmen. Could he have been aiding Tony in ridding the Earth of these two great men, just because they were trying to make the world a better place for their children? Or was he helping his mother save herself? After all, wouldn't he lay it all on the line to protect his family? Especially now that he's such a big shot.

Next you have Mrs. Victor Kiriakis. Nicole has already killed one man, and both Abe and Jack were hot on her tail. She has already proven in the past that she would resort to anything just to protect her own hide. After having a terrible childhood, she seems to either pull certain people into her mischievous web, or pushes them as far from her personal life as possible. Her marriage to Victor is a sham. He is blackmailing her with the evidence from the Colin Murphy murder, which has been hanging over her head since their wedding day when she shot him. So far she has been able to get off Scott free, but lately she's had some very close calls. One person who has grown closer to her is her step-grandson, Brady. She has never really had a real relationship since Eric, and Brady has been there to comfort her through everything that's been going on. Of course he is totally unaware of the things she has done.

Alongside Nicole, you've got her hubby Victor. He's one of the powerful Salemites who never seems to have any obstacles in his way. Even when he does, he sure is quick to vanquish any threats. He has been under a cloud of suspicion since the day Colin Murphy was shot and killed in his backyard. Recently, Abe, with the help of Tec, revealed that the security tapes from the day of his and Nicole's wedding had been tampered with. Now what could he possibly be hiding? One might wonder. He wouldn't want his sons, Bo and Philipe, or his grandson, Brady, to find out what kind of person his wife really is.

Now you've got the one person everyone turns on in the event of a disaster. Tony DiMera. As you all probably already know, the DiMera's don't exactly have the best reputation. Stefano being the result of that. He has been the main terror in many civilians of Salem for many years. Not only is he capable of brainwashing, but he has the power to rise from the dead. Or, Considering the fact that the DiMera family emblem is the Phoenix, you might say that he has "risen from the ashes."

Going by this family's background, it's no wonder Tony would be the prime suspect in most unsolved cases. We all know he had motive to kill Jack and Abe, but did he really do it? After all, since the day he returned to Salem, he has been stating how he is not his father.

Last, but definitely not least in Shawn's eyes, you have Tony's son, Rex. Although Tony isn't really his father, Rex still believes he will be a DiMera at heart. The last thing he would want is to be a blue-collar Brady and start calling Roman "dad." Shawn won't, and probably never will until the puzzle of who attacked his parents at the fashion show, give up the belief that Rex is the one responsible for Bo and Hope's attack, Abe's murder, and hopefully it will continue to be an attempted murder in Jack's case.

He certainly had the motivation to attack each of them. Bo and Hope foiled a big money making opportunity for the DiMera's when Tony was in his coma. Abe suspected him of carrying out the attack. Shortly afterwards, he found Jack snooping through the trash looking for something to finally convict Rex of doing it. Little to Jack's knowledge, he was closer than he thought. Rex may be a genius, but he didn't make a smart move when he just threw the bloody shirt he was wearing after the attack in the trash, leaving it out in the open for any passersby to find. The only problem is, he has no idea whether he is guilty or not. He gets these killer headaches and he has no idea what happened right before, or during these attacks.

Jennifer came back to reality. There were so many things on her mind at the moment. She was praying that Jack would pull through, somehow, anyhow! He couldn't leave her and Abby alone. Not after recently getting remarried. She needed him to help her get through to Abby. He was the only one who could really do that. She has tried, but it never has the same effect Jack did. She stood there impatiently, waiting for any news of Jack's condition. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see who it was. Lexie was there, but she had a gloomy look on her face.

I was planning on only doing a one-chapter kind of thing, but then I just decided that I'd leave it at this, and finish it with probably two chapters in all. So what did you think? Let me know by leaving a review, or via email.
