Hey guys! Thank you so much for all the interest and reviews for this story:) It is really a great motivator when I get an email saying I have a new review. I am glad you guys liked the last chapter. This is the third chapter, and once again is from Sam's point of view. However, there are some moments in here where the story is from John's point of view. It should be fairly easy to tell the difference. I am not sure what I am going to do with John in the future of this story. I mean, obviously I am not putting him with Sam:) I am just not sure how much of an 'enemy' I am going to make him. I would definitely love input from you guys on that! I have decided to bring Elizabeth into my story:) She will be in thee next chapter; which is just about finished by the way:) I figured I would upload the third chapter even though I'm not yet done with the next since I am close to being done. I didn't want you guys so have to wait to long:) Just forewarning, as I mentioned earlier, I am not an Elizabeth fan. So having her in my story means she will not be portrayed as little miss Saint-Elizabeth;)
RainbowGummyBears: I am glad you liked the last chapter! & you don't have to cower in a corner LOL. I was way to young during the whole Robin & Jason time to really have a deep feeling on those two. I have, of course, gone back and watched old clips. I just wrote the Robin situation how I saw Jason would feel about it. I liked Robin when she came back in 2005 but I must admit I didn't like what she turned into with Patrick. She used to be so independent. But oh well, this is a Jasam fic so doesn't really matter:)
Now to all those who reviewed saying they liked that Sam had no connection to John and wanted her to slap him... well I had already written most of chapter three by the time I posted chapter two, so your reviews made me laugh. You will see why as you read;) Ok well that's all. Enjoy chapter three and please review! I really would love input from you guys on what you would like to see happen!
It took Sam all of two seconds to realize what John was doing. One moment they were talking – more like she was trying to avoid talking to him – and then next he has grabbed her face in his hands and is kissing her, hard. It wasn't a passionate kiss and it definitely didn't feel good. It felt rough and forced. As soon as Sam realized what had happened she put her hands against John's shoulders and pushed back with all her might; she might be small, but she definitely wasn't weak.
John let go of her face when he felt her push against him. He knew she probably would do that; what he didn't realize is how much it would upset him when she did. He didn't think kissing her would feel like that. If he would have known that that's what it would feel like to kiss her he would have done it the moment he met her. He knew it was wrong; she was married and he was in a committed relationship with Natalie. But damn, it had felt good to finally know what she tasted like.
As soon as John let go of her face, Sam pulled away and wiped the back of her hand against her mouth. She looked John right in the eyes; there was no regret there. All she saw was lust. Next thing she knows, her instincts kicked in and she smacks him hard against the cheek. Sam watched as his eyes went wide with shock. "Did he honestly think I was just going to sit back and let him put his hands on me without some consequences?" Sam thought. She was about to yell at him when she heard a bike being revved and then the screeching of tires speeding away. It took less than a second for Sam to realize whose bike that was. She had ridden it enough to know it was Jason's. She looked at John with wide eyes. His face was relaxed and the shock from her slap was gone. Now he just looked smug and proud, like he had accomplished what he wanted. It was that smug face that made all the pieces click together.
"You knew he was there, didn't you?" It was more of a statement then a question. Sam already knew the answer and her voice was filled with rage at the realization.
John just looked at her. He wasn't going to lie to her; there really was no point anyway, he knew she knew the truth just by looking at her face.
"How dare you!" Sam screamed with anger. "You put your hands on me and forced me into a kiss, that I didn't not want by the way, all because you knew Jason would see!" Sam was standing by this point. Her fists were clenched tight and she was visibly shaking with anger.
"Sam calm down", John spoke calmly, "I just wanted to show you that you could move on without him. And he needed to see that you two were over." Sam looked at him with shock. "Did he honestly believe the shit that was coming out of his mouth right now?" She wondered with disgust. She looked him in the eyes and knew he had no remorse for what he had done. She wanted to hit him again. But she knew what she needed to do was find Jason.
"You're an ass and I don't want you to ever come near me again." Sam spoke with an eerie calmness to her voice. John noticed the anger deep in her voice and could tell she was nowhere near calm. Sam turned and started walking away when John grabbed her wrist.
"Come on Sam", John pleaded, "you can do so much better than him."
"First off, get your hand off me before I break it", John removed his hand; worried she might actually follow through on her threat. "Second", Sam continued, "you have no idea that type of man Jason is and you definitely don't know what I want or need; so you can keep your self-righteous ass away from me and my husband."
Sam had turned around when John spoke next, "Sam he doesn't love you! He killed your baby remember!" Sam stopped dead in her tracks and turned slowly to face John. "I'm the one who was there when you went into labor! I delivered your baby remember! Or do you just not care that your son is dead!" John knew it was wrong to bring that up but he couldn't believe she was honestly still going back to that criminal.
Sam didn't hesitate one second this time; she took her fist and it collided perfectly with John's nose. She stepped up close to him, as he held his face in pain, and spoke with a voice filled with hatred that it actually scared John. "Don't you ever talk about my son again. You don't know a damn thing about how much I loved my baby boy." With that, Sam walked away from the man she once thought of as a friend.
Once away from John, Sam ran to her car and started it as fast as she could. She sat in the parking lot for a moment to tried and think of where Jason might have gone. There were a few places she knew he would go when angry and hurt. She figured she could rule out the penthouse. She really didn't want to waste time searching around town. She just needed to see him and tell him what had happened. She thought of calling him, but knew he probably wouldn't answer. "Spinelli", Sam shouted out loud to herself.
Sam took out her phone and dialed her best friend's, and business partner's, cell phone number. Spinelli answered on the second ring much to Sam's delight.
"Ah great salutations Fair Samantha. It is a great delight to hear from you on this fine night." Spinelli spoke to his friend with honesty. "What can the Jackal do for his good friend on this patriotic evening?" He asked with curiosity.
"Spinelli I need your help." Sam said quickly.
Sam had told him she was going to spend the night by herself like and had asked that he let her be for the night. He wondered what could be troubling her that she needed his help this bright night. "Anything for the Goddess. How can the Jackal be of service?"
"I need you to trace Jason's cell." Sam answered eagerly.
Spinelli paused before he answered. He wasn't quite sure he heard his friend right. "I'm sorry, but did the Fair Samantha just inquire for a trace on Stone Cold's cellular device?" Spinelli asked with confusion.
"Yes. Spinelli I know this doesn't make sense but it is important. You know I would never ask you to violate Jason's privacy unless it was."
"Is Stone Cold in trouble?" Spinelli asked worried about his dear friend and mentor.
"No. Yes. Ok no not exactly." Sam answered quickly. Her answer did not help Spinelli's confusion over her request at all.
Spinelli listened to his dearest friend try and explain the situation. However, Sam was being vague and she was talking pretty fast for him to follow. "I don't know about this Fair Samantha. Stone Cold would not appreciate if the Jackal were to invade his privacy like this."
"Spinelli I know you care for Jason, and I know you care for me", Spinelli cut in before she could really finish her sentence, "Of course I care for the Goddess and Stone Cold. My two dearest friends, much like my family. I would do anything for the two I hold close to my heart." Spinelli confessed with heartfelt honesty. Sam smiled at his words. Spinelli had always been there for her and Jason, and he was definitely part of their family.
"We love you too Spinelli. You know I trust you; so I am asking you to trust me now." When Sam didn't hear an answer she continued, "Please Spinelli, it really is important." Sam heard typing and smiled. She knew her loyal friend wouldn't fail her.
"The Jackal is sending Stone Cold's coordinated to the Goddess' gps. It looks like he is moving east on Harbor Rd." Spinelli told Sam. Sam thought to herself for a minute where Jason could be heading going east on Harbor Rd. Jakes was west of the pier and not much else was out past Harbor Rd. "The bridge!" Sam exclaimed.
"Thanks Spinelli! I call you later ok." She hung up before Spinelli could reply. Sam sped off toward the bridge where she knew Jason would be. She didn't know why she didn't think to check there first. The bridge held special meaning to Jason. It was where he used to go with Robin when they were younger so they could just talk and it was where he liked to go to think. Sam cursed to herself as she raced down the dark roads with the fireworks lighting the pavement ever couple seconds. She couldn't believe she had been so stupid. She should have known that John wasn't really her friend. She was usually really good at reading people. But ever since she had lost her son she just wasn't the same. If she thought about, it was actually before she lost her baby boy. She stopped trusting herself and her instincts the moment she left Jason and went to that stupid piece of shit that calls itself a motel. Sam continued to curse and berate herself as she neared the bridge.
As she drove, all Sam could think about was Jason – or more her and Jason. She just wanted to feel his arms around her again. She wanted to hear his voice whisper in her ear that everything was going to be ok. Silent tears slid down her cheeks before she could stop them. She was so lost. So much had happened in the past four months and she just didn't know how she was going to ever be ok again. One thing she did know was that she wasn't going to be ok until she was sitting at home on the couch with her husband.
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! I loved bringing in Spinelli. I really hate how the writers put so much distance between him and Sam these past couple months. I always loved their connection and was pissed they never really had him be there for her. This was a fun chapter to write for me. Because of Spinelli and because I love when Sam showcases her bad ass personality:) I have always seen her as someone who takes shit from no one:)
