Where you Belong Chapter 17
Jeremy down casted his look; he knew he would have to explain. Sheila came out from the side of the farm house.
"Jeremy I'm leaving; Eddie is…" She stopped as she saw the three men standing by Jeremy. He turned towards her.
"It's Max Duran and friends of Eddie."
Sheila felt a sense of relief; she looked forward to this day; holding the bag in her hand she placed it down and walked towards them.
"Hi I'm Dr. Sheila Simpson; this isn't what it looks like."
Max took a few steps towards her. "Then what does it look like?"
"Please listen." She turned towards Max; determined to speak the truth. "I called Tyler Roarke a few weeks ago; telling him Eddie was alive, Chloe Carter showed up."
Tyler walked towards her. "Chloe? What the hell was she doing here?"
Jeremy knew he had to say something. "Listen my sister and I found Eddie injured at the town's food mart; he laid unconscious bleeding; we brought him here, as soon as I knew who he was I told my sister we had to call the police and tell them he was here. She wanted to make sure he was ok; when he finally came to; he didn't know who he was."
Max furrowed his eyes. "He has amnesia?"
Jeremy felt flushed. "Yes he doesn't know who he is."
Peter stood holding his iPad recording the whole thing; Jeremy continued. He handed his iPad to Tyler and stepped to the side making another phone call. Jeremy continued. "My sister was pregnant and…" he took a deep breath. "Her husband left her after she became obsessed with everything he was doing on a daily basis; she decided since Eddie didn't remember who he was; she would keep him here as her long lost husband Eli Davis."
Sheila stopped him. "She threatened to hurt Eddie if Jeremy said anything; but after she had her baby she brought me into this mess; we tried to get Eddie back to you."
Tyler jumped in. "How does Chloe fit in this mess?"
"She came with false pretenses; making us believe she was going to help then suddenly turned against us and telling Leah to keep Eddie here."
"What!" Tyler turned towards Max who couldn't wait any longer. "Where's my son?"
Sheila stopped him. "I've been helping him with therapy; our guess he was robbed because he had no movement of his legs; he's walking again and he's healing very well; but had a substantial head injury, the only problem; he can't remember who he is; please be careful what you say to him." She took a piece of paper out of her pocket.
"I've been searching on google for help with amnesia; I found several doctors that might help; this one notes on the subject sound promising and stands out."
She turned guiding all three men to the back of the farm. Jeremy tried explaining the whole mess. "I'm sorry Mr. Duran; my sister isn't all there and she's obsessed with keeping him here; I swear we tried to help and get him home to you and Loren."
Sheila stopped at the door. "Give me a second."
She peeked through the door; Eddie sat reading. "Hey you have visitors."
He smiled. "Thought you were leaving for the day?"
Max pushed through the door. His eyes filled with tears as he saw Eddie sitting there. He smiled as he walked towards him.
"Hi I'm Max Duran." He hugged him; Max couldn't help it and wept quietly. Tyler's throat tightens watching the scene unfold.
Eddie furrowed his eye brows. "Max Duran?"
Max looked at him. "I'm your father." He looked at Sheila and she smiled. "You don't have any memory of anything in your past; we thought bringing your dad would help you."
Peter heard a car pulling in. He walked to check who had driven in, Jeremy noticed and followed him. "That's Leah my sister."
"You do know she's in trouble?"
"She has a baby sir; her husband never knew."
"She has a lot to answer too."
Leah got out of her truck yelling for Jeremy. "Help me get those bags out." She took the baby out of the car seat; she finally noticed Peter.
"Who are you?"
Jeremy sighed. "It's Eddie's family."
Leah's eyes widen. "What the hell Jeremy?"
Peter stopped her before she could go on. "I think you need a lawyer Ms. Davis and you better call Chloe Carter as well."
She ran towards Jeremy. "You stupid idiot! What did you do?"
Peter grabbed her by the arm. "He didn't do anything; I've been looking for Mr. Duran the moment he went missing; we finally found something that brought us here: your brother did nothing but clear up what you and Chloe Carter have been doing."
"I took care of Eli when we found him."
"His name is Eddie Duran! And he has a life in LA."
Leah looked at Jeremy. "You betrayed me?"
Another car drove in. Jeremy noticed it was the sheriff's car; the Sheriff exited the patrol car and walked towards Peter.
"Mr. Peter Malone? I'm Sheriff Moore; we spoke earlier."
"Yes I think you need to take Ms. Davis in; as I told you earlier we have many questions that need answers."
Leah had little Eli in her arms. "What about my son?"
The sheriff stepped closer to her. "Jeremy you take him; I located Eli Davis; he's on his way."
"Wait what?" Jeremy walked to take the baby from her arms. The sheriff placed Leah's arms behind her and cuffed them. "You're under arrest Ms. Davis." And read her rights as they walked to the patrol car.
"What about Chloe Carter?" asked Jeremy.
Peter stopped him. "She will have to answer to the police as well."
Sheila stepped outside as the Sheriff was taking Leah away. She looked at Jeremy who had the saddest look on his face. "Jeremy it's going to be ok; Eddie will be going home with his dad tonight."
All he could do was nod. He could barely come to terms with how he even allowed his sister to do this to him or even worse to Eddie. He had been foolish and gullible. Sheila comforted him. "You did great Jeremy; and you always wanted to do the right thing."
He walked into the room after giving Sheila the baby. He saw Eddie getting his clothes on. Max sat watching his every move. Tyler walked outside towards Sheila.
"How did you get a hold of Chloe?"
"I called the number on your web page; she answered your phone when I called; I had no idea who she was."
"She's worst then I thought."
As Eddie grabbed a small bag; he looked at Max. "What about my son?"
"Don't worry; let's get you checked at a hospital in Los Angeles."
"Why there?"
"Because that's where you live and that's where you belong."
He shook his head. "I don't understand."
"Let's get going, we have a plane waiting in Portland to fly us home; you're going to see the best neurologist and get you well again."
"But I live here and my wife and son are here."
Tyler walked back in. "C'mon buddy; your life is in Los Angeles."
Sheila smiled as she walked towards Eddie. "You're going to be ok. Go with your dad." She hugged him.
Eddie smiled. "Thank you Sheila."
"No worries just get better."
Peter guided them to the waiting car; Jeremy stood to the side with his nephew; Sheila walked towards him. "Don't worry Leah will get the help she needs."
"The sheriff said Eli is coming."
"So all along he knew where he was?"
"I guess I don't want to sound callous but Lil Eli will be ok with his dad."
With a few hours Max, Tyler, Peter and Eddie had boarded the plane. Max made sure he had a Dr. on board to monitor Eddie who seemed confused as he sat trying to figure out what was going on; the Dr. suggested they don't tell him anything about his past until he's seen by a Neurologist in L.A.
Max sat nearby as the Dr. sat with Eddie. Tyler walked in. "Deek is ready to take off."
"Thanks Ty."
"Hey we found him; he's going to be fine."
"I know Ty but he's not the Eddie we know; his eyes are sunk in and he's lost some weight."
"He's going to be with Loren again, he will be where he belongs, I know she will take very good care of him."
Max finally looked at him. "He can't remember who or what his life is; how will Loren take all of this in?"
"Don't you think you better call her?"
"No this is better in person; I'll let Nora know." He took out his phone and called her. "This is such a mess."
Nora sat with Loren enjoying some dessert after having a delicious dinner, her phone buzzed; she smiled when she saw it was Max calling. "Hey how did it go?" She could tell Max was hesitating.
She walked a few steps away from Loren who was sitting next to her. "I'm with Loren right now; how was your trip?"
Max took a deep breath. "We found him honey, it's a long story; don't say anything to Loren yet, we're on our way home; we have to make a stop at Cedar Sinai I'll call you once we're there."
Nora sighed trying to stay calm. "Ok then can't wait to see you; love you." She hit the end button and smiled as she turned to where Loren was sitting.
"How's Max? Was he able to get things done?"
"Yes sweetie he did." She walked towards her. "Can you wait with me until Max is home?"
"Sure, mom is everything ok?"
Sorry..it ends here! Will Nora say anthing? R & R guys
