14 years ago…. [Philadelphia,PA] ''You fucking piece of shit!'' ''You're dead you hear me!'' Frank Cassidy screamed in pain.
After Joey Cusack vivaciously ripped Frank Cassidy's eye out of the socket with a barbwire.
''You and you brother Richie will pay for this.'' ''You rat bastard!'' Joey limped away barely walking. He was bloody his clothes drenched in blood.
Joey wanted an out. Living a life like this was torture. His mind,body and soul was in hell. A living hell. Growing up in a family of organized crime.
The Cusack Irish Family mob. Violence and death was normal for Joey. And it ate away at him. Every single day. He had to escape. And leave the crime,violence and death behind.
Knowing his brother Richie would be pissed that he left the family business. Joey went on the run. Never going out in the day time,only at night. Paying cash only for motel rooms
no big hotels. Joey moved around a lot never staying in one particular place. 3 years had passed and Joey was know Sam Evans. Joey Stall Cusack lll was dead. And he wasn't
planning on coming back ever. Now living in Millbrook,Indiana. Sam Evans was in peace. It was a state and a few hours way from Philly. Which Sam would never plan on going
back there ever again. Sam had never felt such serenity in his entire 26 years of life. Millbrook was such a family oriented county. Hard working honest people. Sam felt like he
didn't belong. But,wanted to belong so bad! He need to establish himself. Build a life for himself. Maybe one day a family. He thought. Fall in love with a beautiful woman.
All things Sam could never dream of.
Living the life he lived back in Philly. Sam Evans was alive. Joey Cusack was dead.
The Present…. ''Jack Sam Evan's jr.!'' ''If you don't get your butt down here.'' ''Breakfast is ready and you''ll be late for school!'' Mercedes yelled for her oldest child to come down
from his bedroom. To eat breakfast. While,she fixed Sarah her breakfast. ''Babe,the pick up want start again.'' Sam let out an annoyed huff. Walking into the kitchen. Taking a
seat at the table. ''Can you give me a ride to the diner?'' Sam asked his a bite out his toast. ''Sure babe.'' Mercedes winked at him. ''Sam can you please call your son?'' ''From his
room so that he can eat his breakfast.'' ''Because,I've already screamed my head off.'' ''And he still hasn't come down for breakfast yet!'' ''Jack!'' Sam yelled. ''I'm right here.''
Jack said walking to the table. ''Well it took you long enough.'' Mercedes shook her head at her son. ''Sorry mom.'' ''I couldn't find my gym pants.'' ''No worries eat up,before
you're late.'' Mercedes told her oldest son. Sarah poked her tongue out at her brother teasing him. Jack poked his tongue back at her. Both Sam and Mercedes laughed at their
crazy kids. ''I get off early tonight.'' ''I only have one case.'' ''Do you want me to pick you up?'' Mercedes smiled at Sam. Sam loved that Mercedes always smiled at him. After all
these years together. She still looked at him like he was her everything. And for sure she was his everything and more. Sam had never loved a woman they way he love
Mercedes Jones. And he knew it from the moment he meant her. 16 years ago. They fell hard for each other. Married in a couple of months then had Jack. Sarah was born a few
years later. Sam leaned into Mercedes kissing her lips. ''I would love for you to pick me up from work tonight.'' Kissing her passionately. Whispering I love you. She whispered I
love you too. Sam owned a diner. Called Evan's. He loved it. And went to work faithfully everyday. Mercedes was a county court case lawyer. Not a big shot lawyer. By any means.
But,she still was the bread winner in the house hold.
The work day went by fast. Mercedes picked Sam up from the diner. As soon as he got in the car she attacked his lips. ''Hmmm.'' He moaned. As their lips smacked against each
other. ''I missed you so much today.'' Mercedes moaned. ''I missed you too.'' Sam rested his head against Mercedes. Mercedes started to drive. ''I have a special surprise for you
waiting at home.'' She smirked as she kept her eyes on the rode. Telling Sam. ''Oh,is that right.'' ''I can't wait!'' Sam smirked back. Jack and Sarah were spending the night at
Quinn and Puck's house. And would be back until sunday. And it was Friday so Mercedes had the house to themselves the whole weekend. When they made it home. Mercedes
went into their bathroom to change into something special for Sam. While,Sam started to undress. He was moving the bed sheets when Mercedes opened the bathroom door.
''Wow!'' He breathe out a slow moan. Mercedes was dressed as sexy cheerleader. She walked over to him. Let me help you with that. Mercedes pulled Sam's dress shirt off then
unbuckled belt. Unbuttoning Sam's pants throwing them across the room. She pushed him on top the bed. Doing a sexy cheer. Mercedes jumped on Sam. ''What have you done
to my wife?'' Sam teased. ''Your wife wants to be a big freak tonight!'' She purred biting down on his earlobe. Sam hissed. Squeezing Mercedes ass. He flipped her over. Now he
was on top. Kissing Mercedes from her neck to her belly button. Sam made his way to her waist. Sliding his hand underneath her skirt pulling Mercedes panties over. Sam's
tongue licked her slit. ''Sam''…. she moaned as her back arched. After Mercedes orgasm. She gave Sam a mind blowing blow job. Which he came hard. The rest of the night was
spent making slow,passionate,love. Mercedes was the first and last woman that Sam has ever made love to. All the rest of those women Sam had in his past was just sex. Rough
lustful sex. ''What are you thinking about?'' Mercedes asked Sam. Laying next to him. Sam was deep in his thoughts. ''I remember the moment….I knew you were in love with
me.'' ''I saw it in your eyes.'' ''I can still see it.'' Sam held Mercedes against him even tighter. Mercedes kissed Sam's lips. ''Of course you can,I still love.'' ''You're the best man
I've ever known.'' They drifted off to sleep. Secure in each other arms.
It was closing hours for the dinner. Two suspicious men walked in. Sam knew they were trouble. ''Sorry,guys were closed.'' Sam told them. But,they both sat down on the stools
anyway. ''I'll have a coffee.'' The first man said.'' ''And,yeah I'll have a coffee and some of that lemon meringue pie.'' The second younger man followed. ''Guys….I'm sorry were
closed.'' Sam told them again. ''I said coffee!'' The first man screamed at Sam. ''Alright.'' Sam said raising his hand up. Sam didn't want any trouble. So he decided to serve to
two rude customers. Eventho,the dinner was supposed to be closed. As Sam pulled the two rude customers their coffee. He told charlotte. One of his waitresses. She could go
home. Before Charlotte could get to the door. The younger man of the two rude customers grab Charlotte aggressively. Threatening her. While,the older man pulled out a gun.
''Sir,we don't carry much cash here.'' ''But,you're welcome to all of it.'' Sam said trying to stay calm. ''Oh,I know were welcomed to all of it asshole!'' The older man screamed at
Sam pointing his gun. ''Billie let's show this motherfucker we mean business.'' ''Kill that bitch!'' The older man ordered his younger partner to kill Charlotte. Sam smashed the
glass coffee pot against the older man's face,jumping over the counter in the process. The older man fall to the floor. His gun dropped. Billie shot at Sam with his gun. But,is aim
was all over the place. Sam picked the gun from the diner floor firing at least four rounds into Billie. Killing him has he crashed thru the diner's glass door. The older man stabbed
Sam in the foot. Sam groaned in pain as he pulled the trigger shooting the older man in the head. The bullet went thru his skull and exited out his face. Leaving him disfigured
as he died on the diner floor. A rushed. That's what Sam was feeling. He hadn't killed anyone in over 16 years. Charlotte,Bob the diners cook. And a couple who sat in the back of
the diner scared for their lives. All just looked at Sam in shock. Sam just held the gun in his hand. A little dazed.
After the diner shoot out. Police and ambulance were called to the scene. Sam was put in an ambulance after being questioned. And driven to the hospital to be treated for his
foot wound. Sam was talk of the town pretty fast. As he sat in the hospital room. His foot snitch up and wrapped in bandage. Switching from channel to channel. News coverage
was all about Sam Evans. And how is was the town's hero. Sam wasn't happy about this public praise. Of being a hero. He has lived 16 years under the radar for a reason. And d
dangerous people where still out there. Just waiting for the day. To finally get their revenge on Joey Cusack,but Joey Cusack was a dead man. He didn't exist anymore.
Evans was and alive. And Sam Evans just wanted to be a husband and father nothing more! He huffed finally turning the t.v. off. Mercedes walked in the room. She rushed to
the hospital as fast as she could. When she hear that Sam was hurt in a robbery attempt at his diner. ''Babe are you okay?'' Mercedes hugged Sam so close and tight to her.
''Yeah ,Im just tired and ready to go home!'' Sam blow out a tired huff. Mercedes kissed his lips. Grabbing his hand. Helping Sam into his wheel chair. ''Then let's go home.''
Sam,Mercedes and their kids. Were bombard with flashing lights and news camera crews. When they left the hospital. And when they finally made it home. New camera crews
were waiting for Sam. To talk to him. Sam brushed them off. As he and his family went inside their home. The next fews days was crazy,hectic,busy at Sam's diner. Everyone
wanted to come and eat at the towns local hero diner Sam Evans. Mercedes even pitched in and helped with serving the customers. She was off from work for a few days.
''Oh,look more reporters.'' Mercedes joked looking at her husband. Sam looked at the men dressed in all black suits. ''They don't looked like reporters to me.'' Sam said. Turning
his back. Grabbing a fresh coffee pot. Dreading this confrontation.
Sam knew right away that those were mobsters. From back in Philly and they found him. All the news coverage exposed him to his enemies that have been searching for Sam
over 16 years now. ''Hi,welcome to Evans.'' ''Can I get you gentlemen anything?'' Sam asked deciding to play it off. Of course that wouldn't work. ''Yeah,a coffee.'' ''Joey.'' The
gentlemen answered with dark shades on. ''Um,my name is Sam Sir.'' Sam deflected. ''Sure it is.'' The man with the dark shades told him. Sam just poured him his coffee
walking away. ''Mmm,this is good coffee hard to find good coffee like this in Philadelphia.'' ''But,you know that already Joey.'' The man dark shades smirking at Sam. ''No,I don't
know.'' ''You guys are from Philadelphia?'' ''Pennsylvania….is that where you're from?'' Sam acting oblivious. Mercedes listening to the conversation her husband was having with
these strangers. Well this one man with dark shades on in particular. ''I'm sorry do with know each other?'' Sam asked. The man took his shades off. Revealing his disfigured face
and blinded eye. ''You tell me.'' He spoke staring Sam down. ''Your name is Joey Cusack and you're from Philly.'' Sam frowned. Laughing it off in the process. Mercedes had
enough of their antagonizing. ''Excuse me,if you're not gonna order.'' ''My husband and I would appreciate if y'all would leave.'' Mercedes told them. ''Oh,don't worry Mr. Cassidy
was just getting more acquainted with your husband ma'am.'' One of Cassidy hitch men spoke up. ''It's okay everything is fine.'' Sam rubbed Mercedes shoulder. She stepped
away from the counter. Walking to the back. ''I would appreciate if all of you can please leave.'' ''I have paying customers to attend too.'' Sam told them. ''Joey Cusack.'' ''I'll be
seeing you around.'' Cassidy put his shades back on. Walking out the diner as his men followed him. People started to whisper and gossip amongst themselves. Mercedes picked
up the diner phone making a call. ''Who are you calling?'' Sam asked.
''John.'' Mercedes answered. Sam and Mercedes were good friends with the counties Sheriff John Silverman. As Cassidy and his men where driving on the rode. John pulled them
over. Questioning and warning Cassidy along with his entourage to stay away from The Evan's family. Are there would be serious repercussions. After John warning to Cassidy
and his men they pulled off. John went back to the sheriff station and did some background checks on Cassidy and his men. What he found out. John went over to Sam and
Mercedes house. To tell them this information. ''Charles Rogue indicted on 3 counts of Murder,James Mulligan indicted indicted 1 count of murder and believed to be involved in
several acts of violence.'' ''That you don't what to know about.'' ''And Both men work for Frank Cassidy.'' ''The man with the bad eye and face.'' ''Frank Cassidy has a long history
of violence and murder.'' ''Sam these guys are organized crime.'' John said looking at him. ''I have to ask you are you in some sort of witness protection plan?'' Mercedes eyes
bugged out her head. ''Of course Sam isn't.'' Sam shook his head. Baffled. ''John I have no idea who these guys are?'' ''They must of seen me on t.v.'' ''And gotten me mistaken
for someone else.'' Sam lied with a straight face. ''I believe you Sam.'' ''But,I've also done soon research on this Joey Cusack person.'' ''He doesn't exist,but their is a Richie
Cusack tho.'' ''Apparently he's the head of a Irish mob family in Philadelphia.'' Sam nodded his head not saying another word. ''I'll keep you guys posted if any thing else comes
up.'' Mercedes walked John out. ''Fuck.'' Sam blow out a frustrated gasp. He spent all this time living a normal happy life. And now shit is backfiring and his past is knocking at
the front door.
And Sam didn't want to face it. The person he was in the past was a ruthless cold blooded killer. Sam Evans was a devoted husband,father and family man. And Sam would do
anything to protect his family. So if it means killing again than so be it. Nobody was going to harm his family nobody. ''Are you okay,babe?'' Mercedes asked staring at Sam.
''Yeah,I'm fine.'' '' I Just want all this misunderstanding to be cleared up.'' Sam looked at Mercedes. With tired eyes. Mercedes walked over to Sam sitting on his lap careful not to
hit his sore foot. She wrapped her arms around Sam. Hugging him tight. ''I love you.'' ''And who ever those men are.'' ''They got the wrong guy!'' Sam inhaled Mercedes scent.
God how he wished Frank Cassidy and his men had the wrong guy. But,they didn't. Joey Cusack was still living and breathing inside Sam Evans. Laying dormant for years. It only
took for a act of violence to awaken Joey Cusack. And Sam hated that. He couldn't control it. That night he kissed and held Mercedes and his arms. Because,Sam knew deep
inside. The quiet drama free. Happy normal life was about to get dangerously violent. And Sam didn't know if Mercedes was going to accept his past. And feared for when she
finds out. That she will take the kids and leave him. Sam couldn't handle that. He would literally go insane. Frank Cassidy and his men were out there waiting. And so was Richie.
Sam's older brother back in Philly. All waiting for Joey Cusack to show himself. And all Sam Evans wanted to do was protect his family.
