Two months later
EJ awoke screaming for Sami. He awoke in a hospital room surrounded by medical personnel. Then he saw a shadow come walking in. "Well Welcome to the land of the
living little brother." Kristen said "I'm sorry Sami couldn't be here but I'm here to make sure you get back to her as soon as possible. EJ tried to get up but he had no
feeling in his legs. "Kristen I cant feels my legs. What's wrong with my legs? Where is Samantha? Where are the children? "Ej started berating Kristen with questions.
Kristen walked over to him. "I'm going to need you to calm down and let me explain exactly what happened and why you can never be EJ DiMera ever again.
EJ listened closely to Kristen as she explained why he must remain dead. How she would help him get back to Sami after their father turned his back on her and Chad
after he died. EJ would do whatever he had to do to get back to the woman he loved and his children. EJ would do anything to be with Sami, even if it meant being
someone else to do it. EJ didn't trust Kristen but she was the only person he could depend on right now. Until he could get back to where he belonged in Sami's arms.
Johnny watched out the window as Sami took off in her car to work. He picked up the family photo "Don't worry Daddy I'm going to make sure Mommy isn't sad
anymore. I'm the man of the house now and I will make sure everyone is okay. I miss you Daddy and Mommy misses you too. "Johnny head butted the picture as if EJ
was there. Johnny held the picture close as he went to sleep.
Lorenzo Alcazar
It was a sunny morning when he awoke in villa in Columbia surrounded by the Valleys and mountains.
It was breath-taking site. Lorenzo was Columbian born but went to the best schools in Europe and College in America. He graduated Harvard business and made his
parents proud before they died in a car accident. He was left to raise his younger brother Luis and run the family business alone. Lorenzo rose to the occasion and was
making Alcazar industries better than ever but it was the side of the family business that made him very hard and cold. Lorenzo had women in his life but no one really
stayed long enough for him to fall in love just keep his bed warm for a little while.
Lorenzo stood tall at height of 6'4 and his body was chiseled like the statue of David. His hair was dark black with flecks of grey. He had deep blue eyes. Lorenzo's
muscular body was well toned and tanned making his olive skin glow. Lorenzo had a reputation as a ladies man but in business was known as being ruthless. In the
world of organized crime he was known as a ghost but extremely dangerous. Lorenzo's father taught him well to keep the organization away from the legitimate
business. Lorenzo's father taught him to only get his hands dirty only when absolute necessary. If anything needed to be handled personally you make sure it was never
traced back to you? Lorenzo made it clear to if he had to handle a problem himself that one of his employees should have handled that employee would no longer exist
in his organization. Lorenzo ran his organization very well with very little casualties so he was able run the business very successfully. The phone rang and he was
brought back to reality from memories of his wise father whom he respected and adored. "Hello little bro. How is school going?" Lorenzo asked his younger brother his
younger brother Luis Alcazar was about to get out of school and start summer camp. Luis told Lorenzo about his day. Luis said something that caught his attention. "Luis
tells me again what you just said." Lorenzo demanded Luis then said in an annoyed voice "My friend Johnny has invited us to spend the summer at his summerhouse in
Malibu instead of going to summer camp. He invited both of us. I know you have to go back to Columbia for business but can you think about it please?" Luis begged.
Lorenzo smiled "Luis the whole summer don't you think that's an imposition on your friend's family?" Lorenzo asked Luis fretted, "Well you're working all the time this
will actually be a vacation because we never spend time together since mom and dad died." Luis said sadly Lorenzo shook his head. He's playing the guilt card but he
was right he thought to himself. He has buried himself in work and it would be nice to visit Malibu. He could also arrange some meetings while he was down there.
Lorenzo loved his brother and when it came to him was a push over and gave in. "Okay yes Luis tell them we will be there and we would love their hospitality. I love you
little bro. I will pick you up in a few weeks. We will head to their Malibu house together." Lorenzo said grinning ear to ear. "Okay Lo I will see you in a few weeks. I love
you too." Luis said in a practical squeal
Connections, Promises & Plans
EJ physical therapy was finally over a he was able to walk great on his own. Kristen had coached him on his new identity very well. It was the mask and the contacts he
was having a problem with. It was one finest made. You couldn't even tell it was a mask except at the chest level. EJ shook his head and flashback to talking to Kristen.
"Samantha knows my body very well Kristen even if I manage to fool her with this mask and colored contacts." EJ insisted Kristen scoffed "Then when you get her
naked you better get creative because no one can know if you're alive. Do you understand me father would destroy us all?" Kristen said sternly
EJ nodded "I understand but what I don't understand what in it for you Kristen? Why are you going out of your way to help me? What's in it for you? You hate Samantha
and her family, why would you help me? Ej demanded Kristen smiled "Cant a sister help a brother because she loves him? "Kristen said faking a smile EJ shook his head
"okay, okay EEJJ father turned his back on me and threw me to wolves when I wanted to raise Brady's baby. He made no effort to protect me all for his beloved
Marlena. How does she invoke loyalty even in our father? John I understand but father. " Kristen was babbling EJ then yelled "Kristen! Get to the point." EJ demanded.
Kristen sighed "I know you don't trust me and you think I'm going to betray you EEJ but when I thought you dead. I promised if you were brought back to us things
would be different no more fighting. No more getting between you and that damn Sami." Kristen said sarcastically EJ was becoming angry "Kristen don't you dare talk
about her like that. She is my wife and I love her more than my own life. So you watch what you say. EJ said angrily Kristen nodded "Okay I will back off your precious
Samantha. I just don't want to let father destroy you the way he destroyed the rest of us. I want you to have your chance at happiness. Father will never let you be
happy without being his lapdog. You and I both know his reach is still far. So we have to be careful if we are going to do this right. Once you reunite with your Samantha
you have to leave town immediately.
We don't know who father has watching her. It's why the disguise is necessary and very vital to our plan. You have to get close to her without revealing your identity.
Once you gained her trust then you can tell her the truth. Its not just your life at stake here its mine too. "Kristen said firmly EJ nodded. EJ went into the other room
and changed into his disguise. The mask was pretty snug but those types of masks are meant to be a second skin to look flawless. EJ put on the green-eyed contacts
and when all was applied. He looked in the mirror and was floored. Kristen made sure his hair had light brown highlights. She had someone come in and spray tans him
to match the complexion of the mask. The clothes were very understated. He looked like a cross between a surfer and a personal trainer. He did look lankier than usual
being an invalid for months. Nothing a few good decent meals couldn't fix. You can't exactly eat fancy when you're in hiding. EJ smiled maybe he could pull this off after
all. He looked nothing like himself. The body was skinnier and the hair and eyes really threw everything off. EJ rubbed his stomach but there was once thing that would
never change. EJ's scar was there to remind to never trust anyone. A token given to him after being shot by his former henchman on Clyde's orders. EJ sighed. Kristen
told him he had been gunned down like a dog like he did to him. Ej shook his head it couldn't have happened to a better person. They said whoever shot him was a
professional they never left a trace behind. He wouldn't think about him now. All EJ could think about was getting back to his beloved wife Samantha. "Samantha "EJ
whispered as he kissed the picture of Sami in the LA Times. "Soon my love, very soon." EJ swore nothing would stop him from getting back to her.
