Chapter 9
It is morning and the sea gulls happily caw over the ocean. Through the curtains the sun shines brightly over Olivia's face. She wakes up and rolls over to rest her head on Caleb. Only to find him not there. Panicking, she sits up and looks around. Seeing nothing out of place she runs for the door. Reaching for the knob she sees her ring on her hand along with a wedding band. Sighing she opens the door and runs to the edge of the stairs. "No, no, no…Not again." She says to herself as she runs down the stairs into the living room. She sees nothing and runs towards the patio door. Looking outside out onto the beach she still see nothing. No sign of Caleb anywhere. She starts to feel faint until Caleb comes from behind and hugs her. "The fuck Caleb?" she says as she jumps. "Sorry baby. I just didn't expect to see you out here." Says Caleb as he walks to the water's edge. "Well when I woke up and you weren't there I panicked." Olivia says as she walks up to him. "I wasn't far. I just came outside." Caleb says as he holds her. They kiss as a wave crashes against them. They start splashing each other and running into the ocean.
After playing on the beach they head back into the house. "What you want for breakfast?" asks Caleb. "I don't know. Think of something." Olivia says as she goes upstairs for some dry towels. She goes into her room to find it's been ransacked. She lets out an ear piercing scream and Caleb jets upstairs. "What the hell Oli…" he stops as he sees the rampage. Olivia runs past him and back downstairs. She goes through all the rooms in the house as Caleb runs after her. "They tore my living room, my room and my kitchen slam to pieces!" "How did they come through the house though?" Caleb asks. Olivia thinks to herself. "Damn it! I left the patio door open." "Ok check to see if anything's missing." "I did. Everything is here. Just thrown everywhere." She says as her phone rings. "Hello" "Sam. It's Christi. I think you may want to come down to the office." "Christi, its Saturday. Why?" "Because I need to show you something and I need to return your keys to you." "My keys? What you talking about? My keys are hanging…" Olivia trails off and sees her keys aren't hanging on her door. "Shit! I'm on my way." She gets off the phone and looks at Caleb. "They took my keys and broke into the office!" Olivia yells as she is running out the door with Caleb hot on her trail.
They reach the office to see everything broke and a window busted in. "Christi!" "Sam?! In here!" They go in and find Christi with the police. "John…? Ummm…hey" Christi says looking at them. "What the hell happened?" asks Olivia. "Are you Samantha McCall?" "Yes sir." Says Olivia as she goes through the wreckage. "Well from it looks like, somebody meant business when they broke in." says the officer. "Do you have and suspects or witnesses?" asks Caleb. "And who are you?" "My name is John McBain." "And what relation are you to Ms. McCall?" "I'm her husband." He says. Christi looks at him as Olivia shoots him an icy glare of shock. "Her husband?" Christi asks. "Yes my husband. Continue officer." Says Olivia as Christi looks puzzled. "No we don't. But we do have this…" he says as he holds up a note. Olivia snatches up the note. "What does it say Oli…Sam." Caleb says starting to slip up. "You think you've gotten away? That you're safe and secure. Ha! I am coming for you. I'm coming for my sweet Olivia. And tell your vampiric boy toy that I got his number. And that he can do his worse but in the end I will win out." Olivia looks at Caleb whose rage is building. "Sam, who is Olivia?" Christi asks. "It's nothing. Thank you officer. We'll keep in touch." Says Olivia as she hands him the note and walks down the hall. Caleb turns to the officer with eyes glowing red. "You find the bastards that did this before I do." He says as the officer backs up and hurries out the door. "John?" "Yea Christi?" "Um explain me two things. One, why are you wet? And two, Sam's husband?" "Had to come up with something quick. And I was taking a shower when Sam called." "Ah…ok? But nobody's answering me. Who is Olivia and what does she have to do with Sam?" "I don't know Christi. But trust me we're going to find out." Says Caleb. "We're?" "Yes Sam, I want to help." Olivia and Christi smiles. "Well I better start cleaning up." Says Olivia. "Let us help." Says Christi as they start picking up stuff. They go throughout the rest of the morning cleaning up. Christi teases Olivia about getting close to "John" in just two days. They laugh. By 2:00 they are finished and Christi says her goodbyes. Caleb and Olivia walk back to the house. "Once inside Caleb grabs the closest thing and throws it as Olivia flinches. "Caleb please calm down." "I'll find them. I'll find them and kill them all…" Caleb growls. "Caleb can you call down long enough for me to make a phone call?" "To where?" "Port Charles." Says Olivia as Caleb shoots her an angry glare. "Why the fuck are you calling there?" "I have to check and inform my partner Spinelli. I don't want him finding out form the police. He can be kind of overwhelming at the wrong moments." Says Olivia as Caleb walks off upset. Olivia sighs and dials to Port Charles.
"Greetings my dear friend! It's always pleasant to hear your voice." Says an always chipper Spinelli. "Hey how are things?" "Things are swell. Working on a case for Mr. Corinthos. And Maxie's got a new piece she's working on for Crimson. It's about what print patterns are good for each season…" he starts to ramble on and on. "Spinelli! Listen to me for a minute. There's been some trouble here in Malibu." Says Olivia after a minute. "Pray tell, what has the Goddess troubled?" "Someone broke into the office…" "Oh dear God! Are you okay?! What happened?!" "Everything's okay. They just ransacked the place. Nothing was taken. And plus if something happens I have someone to protect me." Says Olivia. "Yea I saw him across the background checker. John McBain. He's got fed training I see. He could be a real asset." "He is. But that's a different convo. Has anything weird happened at the office?" "Nothing crazy. But I well you received a mysterious letter. I've been meaning to fax it to you but my activities have gotten the best of me. But upon closer inspection of said letter I became quite alarmed." Says Spinelli as his voice grows soft. "Spinelli do you still have it?" "Yes." "Fax it to me now please. It's important." "Okay doing that right now. But can I ask a question?" "What?" "Who is this Olivia that was mentioned? And why was it talking about vampires?" "Later Spinelli. Right now I've got to go. Tell Maxie I said hi." "Okay Sam. Tell the agent that I would like to make his acquaintance someday." "Will do. Bye." Olivia hangs up and runs to her office upstairs. She runs past the patio window to see Caleb sitting looking out into the ocean. "Please Caleb, don't do anything crazy right now." She says to herself as she goes upstairs.
Meanwhile Caleb is sitting, staring out into the ocean. Eyes red as flame. If there is one thing he doesn't have control of very well is his colossal anger management issues and his need for revenge. "I can't let her get into this. I can't lose her again. They've gone too far. I'm the one they want, not her. If they want a fight, they got one. But I have to keep her safe. She'll never understand…" he's broken out of his thoughts by a touch on his shoulder. He jumps up and looks at Olivia who has backed away a little. She hated when he got like this. Every little thing sets him off. But today it was worse. Eyes blazing, fangs bearing he tries to calm down. "I'm sorry sweetheart. I didn't mean to frighten you." "It's ok. I know you are angry and upset. But now is not the time to fly off the handle." Says Olivia after a moment. "Then when is?" snaps Caleb as he walks past her. "Caleb, you're blinded by your rage right now. You go after them, you'll fuck up." "Well what are we gonna do then?! Sit here and let them find up?! I can destroy them all in one swoop! They are gonna pay dearly!" he yells. "Caleb we need to think of a plan. There are a lot of things we don't know about them yet." Says Olivia. "There is no we in this anymore. Today just proves that you are in more danger than I am. I'm putting you somewhere safe." Says Caleb heading towards the stairs. "Like hell you are! Caleb we done had this discussion. I'm not letting you go and fight them by yourself! You are not going alone!" Olivia yells after him and follows. Caleb turns around and grabs her by her arms. "I'm not losing you again! Do you understand me?! You are not losing your life because of a war they have started! It's my battle, not yours! I'm keep you safe and alive (starts shaking her) and that's FINAL!" he yells and lets her go. Caleb goes up the stairs and into her bedroom and slams the door. Olivia through tears yells out in frustration and heads downstairs.
