Fade In:
Dimera Mansion Living room
EJ has just returned from Lexi's funeral . He walks in the room to find the movers he hired moving his father's things from the room including the portrait of Stefano. He is stil in a state of depression and shock since thee death of his "father" and sister. Still he had the urgent need to have Stefano's belongings removed from the house. Somehow it was a fresh start. He made a promise to Lexi to be a part of Theo's life but what Lexi didn't know is that he wants to make himself a better person for himself and his children.
"Thank you all so much you all can go home now. "I will call you in the morning if I need anything." EJ says taking a seat on the sofa.
The movers leave the room and Sami enters behind them.
"EJ, can I talk to you for a minute." Sami asks taking a seat beside EJ. She truly did feel sorry for him not just because he had two kids with him but because she truly cared for this man. EJ truly loved Samantha but that same love caused him so much pain he never could bring those walls down.
"Samantha, look I don't know what you want to talk about but if you're looking for a fight." EJ states before he is cut off by Samantha.
"No,No I'm not looking to argue with you I'm just looking for some answers." Sami trying to hide her instant attraction to EJ as he unbuttons the top two buttons of his shirt.
EJ is confused by this and struggles for a response.
"Samantha what is it that you want to know?" EJ asks rubbing his face with frustration.
"Will says that Stefano was not your father." Sami says almost in a whisper.
EJ's anger rises and he gets up off the couch.
"Will had no right to say something like that." EJ screams.
Sami is shocked by EJ's reaction.
"Oh my God! " Sami gasps.
"What?" Ej confused.
"It's true isn't EJ you are not Stefano's son are you?" Sami asks almost in tears.
EJ breaks down.
"No, Samantha I am not." "I am not a Dimera. I do not know who the hell I am anymore." EJ said almost weeping like a child.
"EJ, I'm sorry I know you really loved Stefano." Sami says wrapping her arms around a sobbing EJ.
"He took everything from me, Samantha." EJ cries.
"Not everything EJ." Sami says wiping EJ's eyes.
"You're right I have my children and Theo." EJ says releasing himself from Sami's arms. "I'm sorry Samantha I do not mean to burden you with this." EJ said wiping his face.
Sami looks at EJ over at the fireplace and again wraps her arms around him. "You have me too EJ. I will always be here for you."
"You will." EJ asks with questioning eyes.
"Yeah of course we have two kids together." Sami says then to her surprise EJ kisses her. She thought about kissing him but he beat her to the punch. Then after a moment of surprise she found herself getting lost in the kiss. The emotion and the attraction between them became so intense EJ pulls away.
"Samantha, I" EJ says breathlessly.
"What?" Samantha asks also out of breath. She doesn't know how this happened. All she knows is that she wants more.
"I think you should go." EJ says looking over toward the entrance way.
Just then Will comes in carrying a package.
"Oh I'm sorry, Mom what are you doing here?" Will asked confused.
"I" Sami said struggling to find an excuse.
"Your mother was just leaving." EJ said ushering Sami out quickly.
"Ok this was outside waiting for you." Will says handing EJ a small envelope.
EJ opens the small envelope to find a note.
Hello Elvis, thought I was gone didn't you. Well surprise I'm back and I know who killed your precious father and I also know your dirty little secret so if you want me to keep quiet I suggest you meet me at the pub in twenty minutes.
I'm always watching.
The Stalker.
"William did you see anyone outside." EJ asks handing William the note.
EJ did trust Will and he valued his opinion.
"No, why are you showing me this?" Will asked puzzled.
"Because I trust you." EJ stated.
"EJ are you seriously going to go meet this person?" Will asked.
"Yes, I am and what I want you to do is go home and be with your family." EJ says heading out of the door. "I'm not safe to be around." EJ stated coldly.

Exterior Brady Pub
EJ walks up looking around for someone who knows the truth about his Father's murder and his true paternity. He walks around silently when he is startled.
"EJ, I'm glad you came. I was afraid you wouldn't."
"Anna, what the hell you're the one who sent that letter." He asked shocked he was sure Stefano had paid her off a long time ago. He couldn't believe after everything he had put her through she would even come back to Salem.
"Surprised to see me EJ?" Anna asked smiling. "Come on to my car where we can talk." She said taking EJ's hand and leading him to her car. She walked quickly always looking over shoulder as if someone was following her.
Anna and EJ get into the car.
"Anna look I'm sorry I got you into all that stuff with Sidney." EJ said panicked unable to predict Anna's next move.
"EJ, I'm here because I want to help you. I know you're the one that shot Stefano and I know why." Anna said bluntly.
" Of course you know." EJ said handing her a document. "I found it with him that night."
Anna takes the document.
"EJ I didn't know until that night. I swear." Anna said handing EJ a photograph of Tony and Renee. "And, neither did Tony. I promise." Anna said touching EJ's hand.
"He was holding this the night I killed him." EJ said almost in shambles. "He was talking to himself that night about how he took me from my mother and my father." EJ breaks down. "He said he told so many lies and then he said Elvis is Andre's son." "Anna I'm the son of a monster." EJ cries.
Anna takes EJ into her arms.
"You don't have to be him EJ." Anna says comforting EJ. "I am not here to tell anyone what you did." Anna releases EJ and starts her car. "We need to get back to the mansion." Anna says pulling out of the parking lot. "After Stefano tried to have me killed someone else kept following me."
"So you've been running all this time." EJ asked pulling himself together.
"Yes, I came back that night to confront Stefano about the people who were following me." Anna said turning into the drive way of the mansion. "But he said he had no idea who in the hell was following me and I believed him." Anna said getting out of the car.
EJ gets out of the car and follows Anna to the door.
"So let me get this straight you actually believed my father." EJ asked.
"Yes because that's not all he admitted to that night." Anna says hinting for EJ to open the door.
EJ unlocks the door and the two enter the foyer.
"EJ, Stefano said that he knew exactly what was going to go down with Tony and Philip." Anna says heading into the living room. "He had the banister loosened originally he was only supposed to get hurt but." Anna stopped when she felt the tears forming in her eyes.
"Anna, why would Stefano want Tony dead." EJ asks after pouring himself a drink and taking a seat on the couch.
"He was going to tell me and then you came in and shot him, after your conversation." Anna says looking over at the place where the framed portrait used to be. "I hope you burned it." She says getting up to leave. "EJ, all I want is to find out who in the hell is stalking me and I need your help to do that." Anna said.
"I'll help you Anna but why did you send that note." EJ asks rising from the sofa and handing her the note. "I know I got you into all of this when I had you kidnap Sidney." EJ is cut off by Anna's facial expression. "Anna,What is it?" EJ asked confused.
"I didn't write this." Anna said turning almost white at the sight of the letter.
EJ gets up and leads Anna to the sofa. "Do you recognize the handwriting." EJ asked.
"Yes, It looks a lot like the first letter I got from my stalker." Anna said dropping the letter onto the floor. "But you see EJ the first time I saw this was on my wedding day twenty years ago." Anna said on the verge of tears.
"You, mean it looks like Tony's Handwriting." EJ states very confused.
"Yes, it always has, but its not possible you see I have to find out who the hell did this to me." Anna said getting up from the couch.
Sami bursts in the house just seconds later. She is obviously shaken but mostly angry.
"Is she the one that sent me this ,EJ." Sami yells handing EJ a note.
"No, I did not send anyone anything I swear." Anna said desperate to prove her innocence. "What did the note say." Anna asked confused.
"Keep a watchful eye on your children for I know the truth and I intend to use it. I'm always watching your friendly neighborhood stalker." EJ said reading the letter aloud.
"What the hell is she doing here EJ." Sami yelled.
"I came to help Sami." Anna said calmly.
"I don't think we need any help from you Anna." Sami said coldly. Anna's frustration was growing by the second.
"Sami listen I helped EJ kidnap Sidney because I was trying to make him see how dangerous Stefano was. I think he finally sees that. I never knew about Sidney's fake death all I did was care for your daughter and I tried to keep you from loosing the same things I did." Anna said firmly.
"Oh really what is that?" Sami asked sarcastically.
"The man you love and your children." Anna said almost in tears. "You see I lost the love of my life and I lost a baby all because of Stefano. I did not want that for you or EJ." Anna said.
"EJ, can I talk to Anna for a minute." Sami said hinting for EJ to leave the room.
"Yes, Samantha I would be happy to." EJ said leaving the room.
"Anna, as you can tell I still haven't forgiven you but I am willing to try." Sami said opening her arms to Anna. "For Carrie and because we're not so different." Sami said hugging Anna.
Their moment is interrupted by EJ bursting back in the room.
"Anna, Samantha if you two will excuse me I'm going to step out and check on Theo and Abraham." EJ says lying.
"EJ, would it be ok if I stayed here." Anna asked confused my EJ's sudden urge to run out of the house.
"Yes, of course your welcome to stay to Samantha but I really have to go." EJ says hurrying out of the house.
"Do you think he's telling the truth?" Sami asked Anna.
"Hell No!" Anna said firmly.
Cut to
EXT. Pier. Night
EJ walks up to the pier to think and then a few seconds later he hears footsteps behind him.
"Stefano, I know these letters are coming from you. Why can't you just leave us alone?" EJ asks turning around expecting to see a very much alive Stefano.
"Hello Elvis, surprised to see me?" Tony asked.
