Reagan met Adam at the local McDonald's to change custody. She and Adam had divorce when he cheated with several of her friends. She was heartbroken and soon filed for divorce. The divorce was messy as was custody arrangements regarding Max. Finally a judge made the decision for them to have joint custody.
"Reagan, how are you?" Adam asked when they met.
"I'm fine and so is Max." She replied handing him Max's bag.
"I heard about the shooting. How could you put our child in danger like that?"
"Max go play on the playground." Reagan said as she and Adam sat down at a table. "I didn't know someone would try to shoot Kallie Cena."
"You knew this cop killer was out there. You should have protected Max."
"I did. Kallie put Max in the panic room and that saved him. She saved him. Adam, Max is fine."
"I know he is but I don't think he is safe with you. Until this cop killer is caught I think Max should stay with me."
"Adam, please. I need Max with me."
"Reagan, I know you want to keep Max safe and you want what is best. You know that Max with me is the best thing right now. Reagan, think about it."
She knew he was right. With this killer on the loose, Max wasn't safe with her. He had almost gotten hurt just by being with Kallie who wasn't even a cop. She sighed before she answered her ex.
"Alright. For now, Max can stay with you. I will come visit often. Adam, I won't' let you use this to take him away from me."
"I'm not trying to take him away. I just want him safe."
"Alright. Max, can you come here please?" She said to her son. He ran over to her and she picked him up and put him at the table. "I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Okay." Max replied.
"Until this person who is hurting people is caught, you're going to stay with daddy. But I will come and see you often okay?"
"Okay." He said hugging her. "I love you mommy."
"I love you too, baby." She said with tears. "You be good for daddy."
"I will." He hugged her again and then headed to where Adam was.
"You know you can see him anytime." Adam said to her.
"Thanks." She said holding her tears. Once Adam had left with Max, she headed to her car and broke down. She hated that she had to give Max to Adam for now but she knew it was the best thing. She had to make sure her son was safe.
She left the McDonalds and headed to Randy's house. She knew it was not safe to be at her place. She arrived at Randy's and headed in. She found him in the kitchen.
"Hey, where is Max?" Randy asked when he saw that he wasn't with her.
"He is going to stay with my ex until this killer is caught. It's safer that way." She said finally letting the tears fall.
"Hey, it's okay. We will get this guy." Randy said hugging her.
"I hope so. I can't be without my son." She said sobbed hugging him.
"You won't be." He said looking at her. "You won't be away from him for long."
She was shocked when he kissed her. She felt the kiss deepen. She wanted to forget that Adam had in a sense taken Max from her. They moved to the sofa in the living room and were soon making love. He wanted to forget that his sister had been shot and that his daughter had almost been in danger and that his ex felt Camryn wasn't safe with him.
Kinley arrived home with Camryn and found Mark there already. She was debating about telling him the truth about her past.
"Hey, baby." Mark said when Kinley walked in.
"Hey." She said putting Camryn down. "Go play sweetie."
She watched Camryn run to the playroom before turning to her husband.
"Mark, I have some things to tell you. I just feel you need to know." She said sitting on the stool at the island in the kitchen.
"Baby, you know that you can tell me anything."
"I worked my way through college as a stripper at a club. It was only stripping nothing more."
"I know that."
"What?" She was shocked that he knew.
"I know all about you. When we started sleeping together, I did a background check. I know how you worked your way through college."
"And you don't have a problem with that?"
"No. That was before we met. Kinley, I love you and I don't care what you did."
"I just wanted to tell you. Randy and I got into a little fight at the hospital. I told him I wanted Camryn to not visit him until this killer is caught. He said that he had a court order to let him visit and have her at his house."
"Kinley, he is her father. I know you're scared because of this killer. I heard about Kallie and the fact that Camryn was with her. But I don't feel Camryn is in danger. I agree with Randy. He is her father and he should have visitation."
"Alright. You're right. I just want to protect her."
"I know that but I believe that Randy would give his life to protect Camryn. I believe all the Orton's would."
"I know they love Camryn and would protect her."
"Kinley, you shouldn't feel bad for divorcing Randy. You weren't happy in your marriage."
"I know I wasn't. But I should have divorced him first before being with you."
"Kinley, you can't help who you fall in love with. I know we started the affair because we were both unhappy in our marriages. But we fell in love and we don't have to apologize for that."
"I know. I just was worried about Camryn. I'm going to call Randy and apologize." She got the phone and dialed his number.
"Hello." He said picking up.
"Randy, it's Kinley."
"Hey, is something wrong with Camryn?"
"No. I just wanted to apologize for earlier. I know you love Camryn and you would never let her get hurt. I want our custody arrangement just like it is."
"Great. I'm happy you think so. Kinley, I know you want Camryn safe and until this killer is caught we will take extra precautions."
"Okay. Goodbye, Randy."
"Goodbye."
He was glad that Kinley came around. He would never bring up everything about her past. He was mad when he found out about her cheating but he knew she was a great mom. He never wanted to take Camryn away just like he knew she didn't want to take Camryn from him.
The killer looked at the house. No one expect this person would die. When he shot at Kallie, he was only doing it to scare her and John. He never wanted to hurt well not yet. He blamed Bob for the lost of his job and he was determined to make him pay for it. The Orton family was the target. The others he had killed where merely to cover when he chose to kill the Orton's. He walked up to the house and knocked on the door.
"What are you doing here?" Jim Ross asked his visitor.
"I wanted to give you something to give to Bob."
"What?"
Before Jim could react, the person shot him point blank range in the head. He wrote the note that said we will meet soon and put it on the body. No one hated JR and his death would send the perfect message to Bob. He placed the note on the body and left. His plan was in play and the game was beginning.
