The sun spread its shine against Sam's bedroom window. She woke up to the smell of breakfast in the air. God I love Lorenzo. Sam jumped out of bed and went into kitchen.

"Good Morning." Lorenzo finished his cooking with a touch of garnish on Sam's plate. "A little bit of cinnamon sugar on your French toast right?"

Sam smiled and picked up the plate. "It's perfect. I hope you plan to join me. We have a lot to talk about." Sam sat down at the table with her plate.

"What are your plans for the day?"

"No shooting range. That's for sure."

Lorenzo sat down at the table across from her. "Something going on?"

"I think we need to finish our conversation from last night. You completely walked away from me. Was that because I was right?"

Lorenzo took a sip of his coffee. "How's the bacon?"

"It's bacon. Lorenzo, we're friends. Nothing you say will change the plan. You're paying me big bucks to do what I do. And I do it well."

"Almost." Lorenzo eyed her across the table. "We won't get into that. Some things like love aren't possible. Look what happened to my brother."

"How do you know Anna?"

"My past."

Sam rolled her eyes. "And?"

Lorenzo took a deep breath. "Out of sight. Out of mind."

"Did you two ever have a relationship?"

"No. I barely worked with her, but I knew that she was a double agent as well as a thief."

Sam's eyes grew wide. "She seems cool. I wish my mom was a thief."

Lorenzo stopped chewing. "Your mom? She's another piece of work. She and Anna are two peas in a pod. The difference between Alexis and Anna is that Anna owns her past. I like to get my digs in about it, but she never denies it."

"You just want an excuse to talk to Anna." Sam laughed. "I like someone I could never love."

Lorenzo watched Sam playing with her food. "Who is that?" He asked.

"I'm taking such a risk today. I'm taking Cameron to the zoo. I'm hoping Zander will meet us. I sent him a message on his cell asking him to meet me."

Lorenzo continued to watch Sam. She looked up from her plate and noticed his stare.

"Am I doing anything wrong by seeing Zander?"

"Yes." Lorenzo nodded and continued to eat. "You are. You can't see Zander. You have to cancel with Cameron."

A lump formed in Sam's throat. "Why is that? I'm not canceling on Cameron. Why can't I see Zander? What's wrong with him?"

Lorenzo sat back in his chair. "Zander's my son. And if he's anything like me, it won't end well."


"La la la." Anna sang and danced around the kitchen attempting to make breakfast. She looked out towards the living room and noticed Zander playing video games. "I'm cooking Darling! Aren't you proud of me?!"

"Very!" He yelled back and continued his game.

Robert walked into the apartment and stared at Zander with disdain. "Who the hell are you?"

Zander put down his controller and extended his hand to Robert. "The world famous Robert Scorpio. It's an honor to finally shake your hand."

Robert shook Zander's hand and turned his nose up in the air. "Is that food cooking?" Robert continued into the kitchen and touched his chest in shock. "Dear God. My Luv is cooking."

Anna focused her attention on decorating the plates. "I'm glad you came over Mr. Scorpio. No one will ever tell me that I don't have the mothering skills of a knat." She handed him a plate and directed him to the living room with the point of her finger. "Get in there. Zander! Your food is ready. I stop at being a maid."

Zander raced in and grabbed his plate. He went out and sat down at the table across from Robert.

Robert picked at his food but quickly ate when Anna sat down next to him.

"Wow. These eggs are actually normal." Zander moaned savoring his food.

"Who can't cook eggs? Eat the French toast." Anna point to Zander's plate with her fork. "I added cinnamon sugar to the top."

"Hmmm…" Robert hummed with a mouth full of food. "Why didn't you invite Robin?"

"She was doing some thing with Sonny. Not sure what that's all about. I can't believe I condone our daughter befriending Sonny."

Zander wiped his mouth. "Not to get involved, but Sonny sees Robin as a little sister. He adores her. He'd never let anything bad happen to her."

"I know." Anna nodded.

Robert put down his fork. "I'm going to have to agree with my wife."

Anna pulled away from Robert's direction. "Your wife?"

Robert's face fell embarrassed. "That was a Freudian slip."


Lorenzo stood up from the table and started to clear his plate with Sam close on his heels.

"Again, you do not drop a bomb like that and walk away."

"Sam, please realize that I don't wish to discuss this."

"Zander Smith is your son?"

Lorenzo put down his plate and decided to humor Sam. "Alejandro is my son. Zander, I don't know him at all."

Sam grabbed her hair frustrated. "Would you stop speaking in code?! How could you live with me knowing I almost killed your son?"

Lorenzo walked away from Sam again and sat down in his living room. She sat next to him starving for his attention.

"Lorenzo! I don't get you!"

He quickly turned to her. "I don't get me either. That's why I just keep to myself. No one gets it. I lost Alejandro a long time ago."

"Who is his mother?"

"We won't talk about that either. I sold my son to the highest bidder to get back on my feet after I lost everything. I just knew I'd never go back to the WSB again."

Sam sat back still in shock. "I need answers and somehow I'm going to get them. I gotta go."

As Sam stood up, Lorenzo grabbed her arm. "Samantha…" He looked her deep in the eyes. "Zander doesn't need to know. I'm not here to be his father. I have old business that needs to be settled."

Sam jerked her arm away. "With Anna?"

"No. Ric. I hired someone to take care of Ric."

"What? Why someone else?"

"I think you're letting your emotions effect the way you do business. If I don't feel you're up to Project Anna, I'll find someone else and take back half of what I paid you already."

"You can have it all Lorenzo. It's not worth it to me anymore." Sam stormed out of the cabin.


Robert put on an apron. Anna handed him a brush and rubber gloves. She patted him on the shoulder. "Bust those suds." She said with a giggle.

Robert mumbled under his breath and started to wash the breakfast dishes. "I'm sorry about the slip of the tongue."

"No problem. I sometimes feel like we're still married." Anna uncorked a bottle of wine and poured a bit in two glasses. She handed one to Robert.

"Washing dishes and drinking. That always makes it worth it Luv." He lifted his glass to Anna before taking a sip. "While I agreed with you on your feelings about Sonny, we weren't there for Robin and he was."

Anna took a sip of her wine and leaned on the counter watching Robert clean. "Yes I can agree with that. But I can't help but think about the day Gillian Andrassy was killed. We always have the best of intentions, but bad things happen anyway…"

"Gillian was Ryan Lavery's wife?"

"Yes. Someone brought up Gillian's death to me. I know Ryan has moved on."

Robert removed the rubber gloves from his hands and leaned on the counter closer to Anna. "I'm sure Gillian is still very much with him. You were always with me when I thought you were gone."

"But why do bad things happen to good people. I've done bad things Robert. I should have died that day. Not Gillian."

"You did die Anna. And you came back. We both did. We're allowed second chances. You're starting to realize that maybe the life as an agent isn't what it's cracked up be."

Anna put down her wine and laid her head on Robert's shoulder leaning her body into his. "It's so hard to quit Robert. I feel so much stronger when I have the title of Agent attached to my name."

Robert pulled Anna from his body. "Don't you think this is the perfect time to tell me what's bothering you?"

Anna leaned on the counter again and started to sip her wine. "I don't know where to begin."

"Surprise me Agent Devane."

"Ok". Anna gulped down the last of her wine. "Ok. I have a daughter other than Robin."

Robert leaned in to better understand. "Is this about Leora?"

"No. She's older than Robin."

Robert stepped back. "Dear God. I didn't realize my boys were swimming that well."

Anna threw the cork at Robert. "She's not yours Asshole!"

Robert grabbed the bottle of wine and took a long drink.

Anna picked up his glass. "Would you like more wine?"

Robert pulled the bottle from his mouth and tried to catch is bearings. "Please tell me her father isn't Caesar Faison."

Anna laughed. "You wanted me to surprise you. I always aim to please my precious Robert."
