"How do you know Robin?" said Sam.
"I don't know," said Jake, "But I do. It was a flash. I-"
Jake hesitated. It was the night he almost killed Sam and Patrick. But their evening on the island was seeming more and more suspect. He trusted Sam. He needed to start to be honest with her.
"It was the night Helena sent me to kill you. I saw her… Robin. She was the one who told me not to. She was so familiar, I thought I was going crazy. But maybe-" said Jake.
"Maybe you know Robin? Jake, Robin might be the key to figuring out who you are! She might know you. We need to get in there," said Sam.
Beep. Beep.
"I can't believe the phone is still working. It's drenched," said Sam.
She grabbed for the dripping phone and turned it on. It worked but was glitching.
"It's Spinelli with the location," said Sam, "This text says she's in the house Jake. You were right."
"I didn't want to be," said Jake.
"But why would Nikolas lie? Why would Hayden even be in his house?" said Sam.
"I don't know, but I think it's time we check this out," said Jake.
"We should send for back up," said Sam.
She grabbed for her phone, and it had gone dead.
"Damn," said Sam, "What about yours?"
Jake reached for his. But came up empty.
"I must have left it at home," said Jake, "I'm not that fond of it. It's not the first time,"
"Great. Now we are stuck here with no back up, and this night is getting stranger and stranger," said Sam.
Jake saw something in the corner of his eye and pulled Sam flush against the wall.
"What-" said Sam.
Jake put his finger up against his lips and pointed. Not far from the shed were two body guards with flashlights. Sam nodded and pulled herself closer. Her body up against Jakes.
Jake focused on what was outside. He had to protect Sam. His gut told him that Nikolas was a lot more dangerous then they first thought. Helena certainly was.
They heard them getting closer.
"Do you trust me?" said Jake.
Sam just nodded.

"Help!" said Sam.
One of the guards burst into the shed.
Sam was in the corner holding her ankle, and crying.
"Thank god you heard me. My cell phone died, I couldn't call my cousin, I sprained my ankle slipping in the mud-" said Sam.
"I found one of them," said the first guard outside the shed. The other guard came into the shed, "Where is the man you were with?"
"He went to get help," said Sam, "Aren't you going to help me up?"
"Mr. Cassadine say whether he wanted them found conscious or knocked out. This one sure talks a lot," said the first guard.
"It doesn't matter," said the second guard, "Just need them out of his hair until morning."
As the last guard came into the shed completely, the door shut behind them. Jake moved quickly and punched the second guard straight in the face twice knocking him out. Sam used the element of surprise to punch the first guard in the throat and kick him in the groan. She then grabbed a metal watering can and knocked him on the head. He slumped to the ground.
Sam and Jake looked around and saw the pile of rope and duck tape in the corner. They smiled.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" said Jake.
"I sure as hell am," said Sam.

Sam and Jake exited the shed dressed in guards uniforms. Behind them locked in the shed both guards where tied up in just their underwear, with duck tape on their mouths.

Robin tried her best to examine her patient on the kitchen island. The lighting was clear and bright, but it wasn't the best place to be doing an exam. She carefully sutured Hayden's head wound. It was deep. She had stopped the bleeding completely and disinfected it, but she couldn't rush a CT. The hospital and her whole life that she had been forced to leave behind were so close but just out of reach.
A guard was stationed at both potential exits: the patio door and the entrance to the kitchen. They had mostly been starring at her, as if she would attack them with her suture needle.
But now the guard at the patio had exited by the sliding kitchen door and started to patrol outside the kitchen. Why were they alert? Was someone coming for them? Was Jason coming for her?
A groan woke her from her reverie. Hayden was coming to.
"Hayden," she said, "This is Doctor Robin Scorpio, can you hear me,"
Hayden croaked out something she couldn't understand it was barely a whisper.
"Squeeze my hand if you can hear me," said Robin.
Hayden squeezed her hand hard. Good her reflexes were responded. Now the main concern was her speech. Was she weak because of the blood loss? Or was it a more serious brain injury?
"Closer," wheezed Hayden.
Robin moved closer to Hayden.
"Tell... Jake... the truth," said Hayden.
"Who is J-" said Robin.
"Jason... Jake is Jason Mor... Nik... liar," said Hayden.
"Jason Morgan?"
Lightening flashed, and lit up the room. Until all the lights went out. A moment later there was a whir of an engine and some of the lights were back on. A back up generator.
Robin hadn't noticed Hayden's hand go limp in hers. Hayden was unconscious again. Robin checked her vitals. Her breathing was normal, as was her heart rate.
What did she mean by Jake is Jason? That didn't make any sense. Little Jake was dead.
There was a thump outside. Something fell to the ground. The other guard rushed the other side of the room and looked out the sliding door.
Someone pulled him out quickly, and there was another thump. A smaller guard came in the room with a hood over his head.
"What happened?" said Robin.
The guard pushed the forward and took off the hood. Sam.
Following her was a built tall man. Jason. Robin's heart thumped in her chest. He would rescue her after all. He look off his hood.
It wasn't Jason.
"Sam, you came for me?" said Robin, "How did you know I was being held captive?"
"I didn't. We were looking for Hay-" said Sam, "Oh my god, it's Hayden,"
"Is she alright?" said Jake.
He rushed to stand by her. She may be his fake wife and lied to him, but it still hurt to see her like this.
"She's lost a lot of blood. But her wound is closed and she seems stable. I would know more at the hospital but they won't let me," said Robin.
"They won't let you?" said Sam, "We are getting to the bottom of this. I have to speak to Nikolas. We are getting off this island. All of us,"
"Helena is here with Nikolas, and the place is crawling with guards," said Robin.
"I knew Helena was behind this-" said Sam.
"I don't think she is," said Robin, "She kept me captive, but all of this with Hayden- Nikolas is behind it,"
"Captive," said Sam, "Oh my god. You were never in Paris were you,"
"Not for a minute," said Robin, "I know I stayed away from Patrick to save Jason- but since I did I've been held against my will. They want me to recreate it, it was a fluke, bringing someone back from the brink of death,"
Sam just starred at her. She nearly fell against the table. Sam was stunned. Jake moved hold Sam up.
"Are you saying that Jason is alive?" said Jake.
"Yes," said Robin, "Sam, Jason is alive. We got separated when we got to town. I was recaptured. I was forced to lie to Patrick that it didn't work. I overheard Helena say he was in a car accident. But when I got here Nikolas said you would know when the time was right- I don't know what that means."
"Jason is alive," said Sam. She felt tears of joy falling down her cheeks.
"Yes," said Robin, "I promise you. I just don't understand what could have stopped him from going to you and Danny,"
"Nikolas knows something about Jason and didn't tell me," said Sam, "I'm going get him to tell me everything,"
Sam grabbed the gun from the holster that was in the guards uniform. Jake grabbed her arm to stop her.
"Jake get your hands off me," said Sam.
"You can't go after him now. We have to get everyone to safety first," said Jake.
"No one is going to stop me from finding Jason," said Sam.
"Jake?" said Robin.
"Yes," said Jake, "I mean that's the name I go by. I recognize you, but I don't know from where. I know that sounds weird. But I do. But I didn't look like this before. I was hit by a car and -this probably isn't the best time—"
"Oh my god," said Robin, "It's you. That's what Hayden meant. Jake is Jason,"
"What are you talking about?" said Sam.
"Jake you are Jason," said Robin.
Everything started to click into place for Jake. The flashes of Sam, Carly, even Liz. They weren't his mind playing tricks on him. They were memories. He hoped this meant it would all come back. He was shocked. This meant Sam was his wife. Danny was his son.
They heard clapping. Sam whipped around and pointed her gun at Nikolas who was at the entrance of the kitchen.
"You figured it out," said Nikolas, "A little too early for my liking, but congrats dear cousin. Jake is Jason. You're husband is alive and was under your nose the whole time."
