Chapter 12
One month Sam has been living with Jason again. Things had gotten better around the penthouse. They were acting like roommates and not stepping around each other trying not to upset one another. Thing had been quite around Port Charles which ment that soon something big was going to happen. Sam hadn't heard from the Text Messae Killer since she moved in. Sam had taken time off till the killer was caught so she was bored out of her mind. She had been in the penthouse since she moved in and she was bouncing off the wall. Jason would do his best to keep her mind off being cooped up but it didn't help because she was finding herself not being able to contain her self around him. She was growing attracted to him yet again and feelings just wasn't part of the plan.
Sam got up off the couch and saw it was nice out. She cracked open the door and saw Eddie standing gaurd. Sam smiled and opened the door more. "Eddie i want to go to kellys" she said simply.
Eddie turned around and looked at her. "Sorry Sam the boss said you were not allowed to leave" he said.
Sam pouted her face. "Please. I have been in here for a month. I need to get out and stretch my legs. I promise not to pull anything."
Eddie rolled his eyes. "Fine. Just for an hour though" he said.
Sam smiled big. "YAY." she said grabbing her purse and leaving with Eddie.
On the way to Kelly's. Eddie had called Jason telling him they were going to Kellys for lunch. Jason was going to meet them there. By the time Sam showed up Jason was already there waiting at a table. "Hey" Sam said sitting across from him.
Jason smiled. "Hey, What took you so long?" he asked concern in his voice.
Sam gave him a nice innocent face. "We walked and took a detour by the docks" Jason gave her a look. "Jason don't. Atless i haven't snuck off yet. Being in the penthouse is driving me crazy" she saw the hurt look in his eyes. "Jason its not that i don't like living with you guys its just im alwasy there 24hours a day. You know me i'm like a little kid who you have to take to the park so they can run in circles and let out all their energy"
Jason chuckled. "I know Sam. I am sorry. I just don't want to lose you again after i just got you back" he said.
Sam gave him a small smile. "Ya you just like having someone who takes spinelli's attention so he can leave you alone"
Jason smiled. "Ya but he's a good kid he grew on me"
Sam giggled. "Ya he has that affect on people even Maxie" sam said pointing at them arguing in the corner.
Jason shook his head. "She better not hurt him"
Sam reached across the table and hit him. "Hey she is my friend and a good person. She just was a little misguided in the past"
Jason put his hands up. "Ok if you concider her a friend she will be protected and respected by me" he said as they ate the food that the waitress had brought over to them.
Sam had finished first and sat back in her chair while Jason finished eatting. She sat there smiling looking at him remembering what seemed like a lifetime ago their many times of eatting at this very table. She was so into her thoughts about the old time she didn't notice Jason talking to her. "I'm sorry what?"
Jason chuckled. "You seemed in your own little world and happy. Who knew i had to just take you out to lunch to make you content. What were you so in thought about" he asked her as the took a drink and went back to eatting.
She rolled her eyes at him. "I was just thinking how nice this is." She justered with her fingers. "I mean we are here eatting being civil just like the old days. Its just nice" she said with content in her voice.
Jason smiled. "I agree It is nice being in your company"
A comfortable silence fell upon them as Jason finished eatting. Jason and Sam stood up they were standing close to each other. "Ok let me use the bathroom and you can take me home" she said with a smile.
Jason smiled down at her. "Ok just hurry" he said. Without thinking Sam stood on her toes and kissed Jason as if it was natural and walked off towards the bathroom. It wasn't till she reached the bathroom did she realize what she had done. Sam was in complete shock she walked to the sink and splashed water of her face before doing what she had orginally came in there for. Sam was washing her hand and her mind was racing with thoughts of her kissing Jason that she never saw the figure behind her before it was to late and they grabbed her from behind and drugged her.
Jason was sitting at the table in complete shock over the normalcy that today seemed to be for him and sam. The kiss was quick and simple but yet he could still feel the lingering of her lips on his. It was when Eddie walked over that he noticed that 10 minutes had passed. Jason got up and went towards the restroom. He knocked on the womens door. "Sam you in there?" he asked again no answer. He opened the door and walked in. There was no one and the sink was left running. He walked over and shut it off. Something didn't seem right thats when he noticed the needle by the trashcan. Thats when he realize Sam has been taken. He wraps the needle up and rushes out of kellys.
XXXXXX
Where are the heroes
I my time of need
Is my crying abandoned?
Or have they gone
Sam's head was pounding. Her eyes were shut. She tired bringing her hands to her head but her arms were moving something was holding them back. she tried moving but nothing was happening. She started panicing. Sam slowly opened her eyes and saw nothing but darkness but then her eyes were taken back by the sudden flash of light. Thats when Sam saw a red glow constantly. Lighting up enough so she could see she then realized that she was bound and tied in a trunk of a car. Sam started to scream but it was all muffled by the duck tape holding her mouth shut. Tears ran down her face as she realized that she was stuck with no way out she just hoped her capturer wouldn't leave her in the trunk to die.
They just tend to stand
Out of the rain
Thinking but not acting
That they're not to blame
Jason pasted back and forth in his penthouse waiting for Stan to get back to him on what was in the needle and Spinelli to do his magic and tell him who took Sam. As the minutes went by Jason fear for never seeing Sam again started to fill his body. Just then his phone went off and it was Stan. "Ya. Ok. Effects? So if Sam was injected with it shed be ok and wake up in 30 minutes?... ok... ok... Thanks Stan" Jason said hanging up. One thing down two more to go.
Falling and crawling
A fight to stand up
Memory still haunts me
In the dead of night
Sam had passed back out and didn't know how long she had been out. But she did notice she was in a different posistion but was still tied. Her head was pounding worse then ever like a horrible horrible hangover. Sam tried to adjust her eyes to the darkness but she couldn't. It hurt to conentrate to much on just the darkness. Just then flood lights lite up the room around her. She shut her eyes wincing in the sudden light that was to bright.
"Well Well Sam. I finally got you alone. What are you going to do now that Jason is no where close to finding you?" asked the man.
Sam just looked at the man in pure shock. "Why are you doing this?" she managed to get out.
Over and over
I felt so small
But one day I'll be stronger
And you better watch out
Jason was sitting on the couch and spinelli was at the desk. "Oh My" Jason heard Spinelli say. Jason got up quick and rushed over to him. "What you find?" he asked.
"I was um looking threw video footage of some of the surrounding buildings of kellys and look what i found" Spinelli played the video. All of a sudden Jason grabbed his jacket and gun. "Where are you going stonecold?"
"To his apartment. Maybe there is something there. Keep looking maybe you can get where he took Sam." with that Jason was out the door.
I will overcome
In violence there's silence
Oh no,
It can't be undone
I will overcome
Knowing that I'm not the only one
I will overcome
It's the only way to carry on
An evil laugh filled the space. "Why am I doing this? Well I don't know you tell me?" he said.
Sam looked at him. "Because your are a sick sick man i mean you do really enjoy kidnapping women don't you Ric" she spat as the shock was being replaced with anger.
He grinned evilly at her. "No Sam. This was the only way I could be with you. You are what this is all about. You were always the point of all the crimes i have commited."
Sam shook her head. "Why kill Leticia, Emily, Georgie. Why hurt Maxie, Carly, Alexis and myself. And Why did you kill Elizabeth?" She knew that Ric loved Elizabeth.
Ric walked where Sam could see him. "Leticia well she was an accident along with Georgie. Carly and Emily were just simply about getting revenage on Jason and Sonny. I mean they really didn't have anything to do with you. Maxie well she was always in the way of me getting to you the same with Alexis. I really didn't want to hurt the mother of my child but she got in the way. You. Well I would of never killed you then. I need you to much to kill you right off. As for Elizabeth that was a kill for you. I knew how much she had destoryed your life so i thought i would so you how much you meaned to me by taking out one of your enemys."
Sam couldn't believe what she was hearing. "What do you mean you need me?" she asked.
He smiled. "Glad you asked. Because I Love You Sam" he said.
Where are the saviours
Afraid of the toll
Sorry do my nine inch nails
Slash your soul?
Jason broke into Ric's home. He started tearing the place apart looking for something that could take him to Sam. He was searching one of the back room when he heard a thomp behind the closet door. Holding his gun in his hand he slowly walked towards the door. He slowly opened it as a body feel before him on the door. He instantly knew it had to be tha nanny. Jason reached down and found she was already dead.
He headed into Ric's bedroom and went threw his dresser drawers. When he came across the folder. he pulled it out and started going there it that when he figure it out. He was holding Sam in one of the waterfront properties Skye had left for him that were once belonged to Lorenzo. Not caring that he left everything out he rushed out hoping to get acrossed town in time to save Sam.
Such heroes
Throwing stones
Straight at the one
Who is standing alone?
Sam was lost for words. He loved her. She laughed. "Right. When could you of possible fallen in love with me? Was it when i was sleeping with Sonny? Maybe Jason? or how about Lucky?" Sam said to him.
Ric glared at her. "I started falling in love with you when you were dating my brother. I never understood how he got you. You had so much potionel. You were fiesty, Smart, Indepentant woman above all you were very Sexy. I had to think of reasons why to show up to Sonny's so i could see you. But i would have to say i fell in love with you when you were staying at the lake house that summer you were shot. Really got to know you. You are the perfect woman. But i was with alexis and couldn't do anything about it. WEll except that night but do you already know about that you were there."
Sam was thating this all in. "If you love me so much why did you kidnap me? Just let me go?" she said knowing she could use that angle.
"Because I want to have some fun with you before i kill both of us"
Sam raised her eyebrows in confusion "Both. Your going to kill yourself?"
She looked at Sam in the eyes. "Yes. See other than this gun i have. I have wired this place to blow. The first explosion will start in about 15 minutes. If I can't have you no one will. YOu will be my last and soemthing i will always have." he stated.
He went up to her holding her head in place and pressed a hard kiss to her lips. Sam struggled against it but couldn't so she bit his lip hard. She could taste his blood in her mouth. Ric pulled away. "You bitch" he stated in anger and hit her with the butt of his gun. Slicing open Sam's cheek.
Twisting and turning
It's always the same
The truth is never honest
When you're to blame
Sam looked up at him rage building inside of her as she tried getting hands free. Ric had left to check on the system to make sure all was well. She had manage to get herself untied but acted like she was still tied up until she could find a way out. She looked up to the sound of footsteps. "Good news in 10...9...8...7...6...5..4..3..2...1..." he held up a hand as a loud firey noise filled the werehouse quickly followed by another. "In 10 minutes next set of bombs are going to go off. So now we are going to have so fun." He siad walking towards her.
Before she could think about anything she took her feet and shoved them hard into his chest sending him to the ground. Sam got up and started to make a run for the door as smoke started to fill the room they were in. She was almost to the door when she felt hands around her as Ric threw her agaisnt the wall. Sam fell straight to the ground .Ric on top of her. She was struggling against him when she noticed the gun was once again in his hands.
Sam took all her strength and tried getting the gun out of his hands there were sitting there fighting for it when all of a sudden a gun shot filled the room. Sam laid there a minute till she realized that it wasn't her who was shot but was Ric. She pushed him off as she looked down her shirt was covered in blood. She hurried and got up as she started for the door but was thrown back as the next set of bombs went off.
After a couple of minutes Sam got up and saw that her exit was blocked with flames and the room quickly filled up with more smoke. Sam looked around holding a sleeve to her mouth as she couched at the smoke thats when she saw the window in the far corner of the room. Sam climbed onto some crates and boxes that were set by the window. She couldn't get it open so she ripped off part of her shirt and tied it around her hand as she punched out the window. Making sure all the glass was away from the window so she wouldn't get hurt. Sam squeezed her body threw. Only to fall flat on her back from the unwelcome drop.
Pushing and pulling
Never give in
One day I wish
You see you're not so beautiful within
By the time Jason got to the werehouse there was already cops and firefighters at the scene. They were tring to stop the fire from spreading to the rest of the building. Jason looked in horror as the werehouse was slowly becoming engulfed in flames. Jason heart dropped in that moment as he thought that maybe he was to late that Sam was forever gone to him. That is when he noticed the figure on the side of the building. He looked hard as relief filled his body and the sight of Sam made his heart beat once again.
Sam stood there a moment trying to gain her balence. It had taken alot out of her to land the way she did. Sam looked and saw Jason standing there. A small smile formed on her face as she slowly made her way to him. She quickly picked up speed but stopped erruptly when she heard a loud noise behind her. Sam turned and saw the last of the bombs go off and the werehouse collapse taking Ric with it. Sam then turned back around and headed towards Jason again.
Run and run
Run and run
Sam ran as fast as she could into Jason's arms. HOlding him close as tears fell down her face. He held her in her arms whispering in her ear that everything was ok now. Sam looked up into his eyes seeing the love that was there before. Tears fell even more as she pulled him down her in in a loving and tender kiss.
I will overcome
The End...
Ending Note: Since this story is over i thought it was only fair to tell you what the final clue was. Most of you were right at who you thought it was. As you can tell Ric is the Text Message Killer. The 3rd clue was a typo at the end of the chapter. killer was typed like this "KIlleR" puting the 3 captiol letters together you get this KIRRIK (Ric) it was a hard and difficult clue. Hope you enjoyed this I had some fun writing this story and watching it develop from a oneshot to this.
