Tommy and Jason had barley left Judy's house when it began to rain. It was raining so hard that they had to pull off of the road before the car got swept away. Tommy hoped that Sam had changed before running away. If she was still in her leotard then she would freeze to death. That was assuming her mom's grave was outside and not in a mausoleum. The more they drove the colder it seemed to get. When they finally got to the cemetery they saw the car, but no one was in it. Jason then went and opened his trunk and threw Tommy a flashlight. Jason then turned to him and said, "I don't really remember where she is buried so we will have to split up and look for Sam." Tommy nodded that he understood and went off in search of Sam. As he was walking through the rows of headstones he saw a pinkish light. It seemed like a beacon pointing him to a certain spot. As he neared the light he saw a figure lying on the ground. Something inside Tommy snapped and he ran to the figure. He came to the person and turned her over; it was Sam. "Over here Jason," he yelled and then felt for a pulse. Sam's skin was cold to the touch and her lips were starting to turn blue. She was still in her leotard and sweat pants. Both of which were soaked from the rain. He noticed that her knuckles were cut and had been bleeding. As he checked her body for any other injuries he found curious scares along both of her forearms. Jason had finally come and dropped onto his knees next to Sam. Tommy turned to is old friend and said, "I think she's gone into hypothermia. We need to get her to a hospital or her body will shut down." Jason nodded and replied, "Can you pick her up and take her to the car." Tommy nodded and then picked up an almost lifeless Sam. He put her in the back seat of Jason's car and then he took the mustang and followed Jason to the hospital.

Sam was woken up by a pink light. She got up and looked around not recognizing anything. She wasn't dressed in her leo, but in a long white flowing gown. As she looked around she noticed a woman dressed in pink gown. As she came forward Sam recognized her. Sam ran to her mother and gave her a big hug. Sam smiled for the first time in a while.

"Mom you're here, where ever here is."

"Hello my darling Sammy Sam."

"Mom what's going on where am I?"

"Darling you are in a place between life and death. I am only here to tell you to hold on. That it is not yet your time to go."

"But mom I want to be with you and dad."

"Sweetie I know, but you need to stay here. Your father still needs to know."

"Why he doesn't care about me?"

"Oh honey."

"Mom was I a one night stand?"

"No you are a white sweetheart. I am sorry for the way I told you about him, but I didn't have enough time."

"Why didn't you tell me when I was little?"

"I didn't want to turn your perfect world upside down. Now I realize my mistake Sam and I'm truly sorry. It is almost time for you to go."

"I don't want to go. I still need you mom."

"Oh honey you will always have me. I will always be in your heart and that way I will never leave you."

Kim kissed Sam on the head and then she disappeared leaving her all alone. Sam sat down and thought Mom wants me to live and come hell or high water I will live. As she thought about all the things her mom had said something shiny caught Sam's eye. When she picked it up she saw that it was a key. The more she looked at it the more she loved it. The key was old and silver with a club on top. One of the holes was open so that a silver chain could go through. As Sam put it on she felt a little light headed and then she felt herself slowly moving downward and back into her body.

Once they had gotten to the ER Tommy and Jason carried in Sam. Once they had gotten her a doctor they sat in the waiting room. Jason turned to look at Tommy and said, "You don't have to stay here with me." Tommy looked at his old friend and replied, "I'm not leaving Sam is my student and no matter how badly she has behaved I still care." Jason smiled and then the two men lapsed into silence. After about ten minutes he asked the question that had been on his mind since him and Jason had left the house. "So how do you know Sam?" Jason looked at him and replied, "She was one of my karate students at the youth center. She was the best student I ever had. Always there on time and paying attention; she was great." As Jason finished the doctor came out and said, "Samantha is doing fine. You can go see her now if you want to." Both men stood up and made their way to her room. When Tommy saw her lying there on the bed he was immediately taken back to the time Kim had been in the hospital. Jason pulled up a chair next to her bed and took her hand. Tommy pulled up a chair next to his and stared at Sam. She looked so peaceful, almost like an angel. Although Tommy knew better than to think that she was. As they sat there in silence Tommy watched Sam sleep. It had been about ten minutes before something was finally said. Jason let go of Sam's hand, turned to Tommy and said, "Tommy there is something that you need to know about Sam. She is, Sam is, what I'm trying to say is…" He never got to finish his sentence because at that moment they heard Sam moan and begin to open her eyes. Jason forgot what he was saying and turned all of his attention to Sam. Sam looked up at him and said, "What happened?" Jason gently hugged Sam and replied, "It doesn't matter Sam. Just as long as you're safe now. You about gave me and your aunt a heart attack." Sam smiled and replied, "I'm sorry." Tommy was blown back by that little phrase. He had never heard her say anything that nice to anyone. He then realized that this was the first time he had seen her smile. That smile reminded him so much of Kim. What was it about this girl that reminded him about Kim? He ticked the things off in his mind. One she was a gymnast like Kim. Two she had Kim's attitude. Three she looked like Kim. Fourth and final she acted almost exactly like Kim. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't realize that Sam had asked him a question. "Sorry I was lost in thought what did you say?" Sam smiled up at him and replied, "I said what brings you here?" Tommy looked at Sam and said, "Well when I saw your report on the news I came to help look."

"Even after all of the horrible things that I have done and said to you?"

"Yes because once upon a time I lost my parents and I acted exactly the way you were. I knew that that wasn't the real you."

"Thank you Dr. Oliver for helping and I'm sorry for all the trouble I have caused you."

Tommy smiled at Sam. As he was about to say something Judy came into the room and practically bathed the girl in hugs and kisses. Sam smiled and laughed as her aunt did this. Tommy looked at Jason and saw him smiling too. He clapped his friend on the back, gave Sam a smile, nodded to Judy and then went home to his nice warm bed.
