Two Hours Later

Lorenzo, Sam, Jason, Nikolas, and Robert were anxiously waiting in the hospital.

When they saw Lainey, Sam and Nikolas bombarded her with questions.

"Hold on, a minute," Robert said, "Let the lady speak."

"We got through the procedure," Lainey said, "And Alexis should be fine."

"Can I see her?" Sam asked.

"Once Kellie leaves," Lainey said, "They're discussing a few things and then you'll be free to go in there."

Alexis's Room

"Kellie, promise me you won't say anything," Alexis said, "This something I have to process before I talk about."

"I understand," Kellie said, "I promise I won't say anything. I think you need to know that there's a very real possibility that the longer you wait, the more likely it is Helena will reveal what we found out today."

"Why would Helena gain with this?" Alexis asked.

"We think she's the one who kidnapped Danny and Molly," Kellie said, "To get back at Luis for stealing the brainwashing program."

"That lunatic has my daughter and grandson," Alexis ranted, "I'll kill her."

"Calm down, Alexis," Kellie said, "We're working on it. And I'm willing to bet she'll show her hand soon, especially if…if Stravros isn't Sam's father."

"We have to run a dna test," Alexis said, "To know for sure."

"I'll take care of it," Kelle said, "I can get the samples and I'll have it sent to another lab."

"Thank you," Alexis said, "I know it makes it harder for you to work with Jason and Lor…your uncle on this."

"I'll see if I can't pick up a lead on Helena," Kellie said, turning to leave.

"Are you okay?" Alexis asked, "You look like you've got some not so good memories on your mind. Did this process bring up some bad times for you?"

"You had to relive some really traumatic stuff. It was difficult for me to watch. Now I'll make an appointment with Lainey to discuss that," Kellie said, "I'll be fine. I'm just a little shook up."

"Can I see my mom now?" Sam asked, peeking her head in.

"She's all yours," Kellie said.

"You'll take care of what we talked about, Kellie?" Alexis asked.

"It'll be done before you know it," Kellie said.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Sam asked.

"No," Kellie said, "Just take care of your mom and Jason, even if he won't admit he needs taken care of sometimes."

"You sound like you're going out of town again," Sam said.

"It can't be helped," Kellie said, hugging Sam, "I promise everything will work out." Then Kellie left.

Kellie approached Jason and Lorenzo in the waiting area.

"It worked," Jason said.

Kellie nodded.

"Did Alexis have the answers like you suspected?" Lorenzo asked.

"Some of them," Kellie said.

"And.." Jason said.

"I can't tell you. I gave Alexis my word," Kellie said, "It doesn't help us find the kids anyway."

"But you do know what's at stake for Helena," Lorenzo said.

Kellie nodded.

"I'll be leaving town again," Kellie said, hugging Lorenzo, "I have to take care of some business and I'll try to get a lead on Danny and Molly."

"I'll come with you," Jason said.

"You're needed here, Jason," Kellie said, moving towards the elevator.

"You shouldn't run off by yourself," Lorenzo said.

"Do you trust me?" Kellie said, "Because this is how it has to be."

She got on the elevator and the doors shut.
