Chapter 9
Pounding. Thats all Sam felt when she came to. She didn't open her eyes she just moved her hands to her head. The moment alone caused Sam to groan in pain. Her whole body was acheing and her head hurt. Her throat hurt the most as she slowly moved her hands down to her throat gently rubbing it. Sighing Sam slowly opened her eyes. Letting her eyes adjust to lighting of the room. She remembered where she was. She looked up and saw the pictures on the mantel of the fireplace. She was in Jason's penthouse. Slowly moving so her feet rested on the ground she moved in a sitting postion. Groaning again as she felt the pain through out her body she rested her elbows on her legs and put her face in her hands trying to not scream.
Jason walked out of the kitchen and saw her sitting up. Relief went through his body knowing she was ok. He was hoping she woke up soon so he walked forward towards her. "I am glad your awake" Jason stated. He softly smirk when he heard her mumbling. "I thought you might want some asprin and water" he said setting them on the table in front of her before sitting next to them on the table.
Sam looked up at him. and took the asprin and water and took them. "Thank you" she softly said her voice raspy and low. "How long have I been out?" she asked after they had a couple minutes of silence.
Jason looked over at the clock and back at her. "For almost 3 hours" he stated. He looked her over. His blood boiling as he saw the brusing on her neck. "I was starting to get worried. If you didn't wake up in the next hour i was going to take you to the hospital. Which i think you still should go" he stated. Waiting for her to argue.
Sam sighed and sat back on the couch making herself comfty. "No Jason I am not going to the hospital. I am just sore all over thats what happen when you struggle with an attack and when you get slammed against a wall and strangeled. I am just happy you were home because this is the first place i thought of to run to" she stated.
Eyeing her closly. He sighed. "Where was Eddie? He was suppose to gaurd you!" he stated anger coming out.
Sam looked Jason in the eyes and knew what he was thinking. "Jason it wasn't his fault. Eddie is a good guy. He was with me when i went to the hospital but Epiphany was mad he was following me around and shoed him away. He said he would be back when i was done but i got off early and didn't think about it Jason. Please don't get mad at Eddie Please" Sam pleaded with him.
Jason rubbed his face in frustration. "Fine I will not ring his neck. But Sam what were you thinking they could of killed you! What if i wouldn't have been home. I would of came home to find out dead infront of my door. Do you know how much that would tear me apart?" he asked her trying to understand why sam would be stupid enough to leave.
Sam didn't say anything for a minute as she was fighting the tears that were threating to come out. She stood up and walked away taking a deep breath as her muscles were screaming at her. ''I am sorry Jason. I was so exhausted after that shift at the hospital that i wasn't thinking and i just wanted to go home and sleep. Not to mention i hadn't had any messages from the killer since i changed my number until right before he came after me." by the time sam ended the tears had finally escaped their confindments.
Jason was felling guilty for being hard with her. "Sam i'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so harsh. Its just I don't want to lose you after we have come so far at less i think we have" Jason said standing up and walking towards her.
Sam looked jason in the eyes. "We have come far Jason" she stated as she wiped away some tears.
Jason walked up to her and held his arms open for her and she stepped into his embrace closing her eyes as her head rested on his chest. Reeling in the warmth and safeness that he brought to her in his embrace alone. Taking a deep breath as her arm wrapped around his waist as she stood there listening to the beating of his heart that brought her so much comfort. "Sam?"
Without lifting her head or opening her eyes. She simply said "hmm"
Jason sighed. He never knew how much he missed holding her in his arms like this. He was so content with the moment that he knew if she allowed he would do this for always. "I want you to move back in her" he stated. He grew worried when he felt her body stiffen.
Sam lifted her head and looked up at him. "What?" not really knowing if she heard him right.
He looked down into her dark chocolate eyes. "I want you to move back in here. You will be so much safer here Sam. I can protect you better so that bastard can't harm you again" jason said with a concern voice.
Looking at him intently. "I don't know if thats a great idea Jason. Do you really think that we could leave together like roommates again" he asked him.
Jason sighed. "Sam it would be more than roommates it be friendship" he was wishing for more but didn't want to scare her. "Ever since you moved out the place isn't the same. Especially since Spinelli is hardly home anymore. I miss having you around and i miss you ramble when your nervous or the fact that you leave everything laying around." jason said with a smile.
Sam chuckled. "How can i resist that offer" she laughed and smiled up at him.
Jason rolled his eyes. "so is that a yes. Will you move back in here?" he asked this time with pleading eyes.
Sam made a funny face at him and stepping away from him. "i guess but theres got to be rules like i get my old room since i know that Spinelli probably hasn't moved out of his pink room. No smothering me either Jason. No telling me what to do either. You know how i like to disobey orders" sam smiled at him.
It was jason's turn to chuckle. "I am very aware of your dislike of orders Sam." his insides were jumping for joy that she would be moving back in with him.
Sam playfully hit him in the arm before turning serious. "Jason there something you need to know" she said looking him in the eyes.
Jason grew a little tense. "What is it Sam?" he asked her.
Sighing."I think I know who the killer is" she silently said.
Jason eyes widen. "What? Who?" he asked.
Sam shrugged her shoulders and turned away from him and looked out the window. "Well i don't know who but i think i know him" she said.
Jason was so confused. "I don't understand Sam" he said.
Sam turned around and looked at him. "Downstairs in the parking garage when he had me pinned to the wall strangling me. I looked into his eyes and they looked so familar that i have stared into them many times before" she said getting chills running down her body.
Jason noticed Sam's discomfort. "Do you know where you have seen them before?" he asked her.
Sam shook her head. "But I know i have seen them but they aren't eyes like yours"
Jason raised his eyebrow. "What do yo mean not like mine?"
Sam smiled. "They are distinctive like yours. Yours are the purest blue i have ever seen. Your eyes give you away Jason no one has your eyes. But the killers eyes are brown they don't stand out. But i can tell you they are evil. Its going to kill me not being able to place it Jason. Everytime i look at a guy with brown eyes im going to wonder is it him?" she said tears rolling down her eyes.
Jason walked to sam pulling her into another embrace rubbing small cirlces on her back. "Don't worry about it Sam we will catch this guy" Jason said to her her. After a few minutes Sam calmed down. "Come on lets go to your apartment and get some of your things" jason said as he grabbed sam's hand and led her out of there.

Sam waited for Jason to unlock her apartment once he had it done she walked in turning on the living room light. Everything was like how she last saw it. "Um im just going to go to my bedroom and get some things that i need for like tonight and tomorrow. Just make yourself at home i promise not to take long" she said as she left Jason in the living room.
Sam walked to her spare bedroom and pulled out a suitcase and walked into her bedroom. "Jason. We have someone pack and move the rest of my stuff over tomorrow or when ever we have time" she yelled as she went to her dresser pulling out stuff she needed in the drawers. As she hear Jason yelling back to her. She smiled to herself. She would never had guess that she would be moving back into a place she called home for almost 3 years. She turned and walked into the closet.
Jason loved hearing her voice. Everything seemed normal as he heard her yelling at him from the bedroom. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice that Sam had eruptly stopped talking to him. Jason got a chill up his spine making the hair on the back of his neck to stand up on end. "Sam are you almost done?" he yelled.
Jason waited for a response but when he didn't hear one he got worried. Maybe she just didn't hear me. he thought to himself as he walked back to her bedroom. "hey sam you almost read..." he was cut off as he saw it before him. "SAM" he yelled as he rushed to her side. Blood everywhere. He looked at her as grew pale quickly. She grabbed his hand. As he pulled her to him. "Don't worry your going to be ok" he said to her trying to soothe her as he called for an ambulence. he looked at her lower back and knew she had been stabbed. "Did you see who did this?" he asked her.
Sam softly shook her head no. "Same eyes" was all Sam said as the darkness surround her no longer able to fight to stay awake.
