Lorenzo looked away from Anna not expecting her response. "You're welcome I guess."

Anna leaned her chin on her arms and her arms on her knees. "I've always been attracted to men like you."

Lorenzo blushed and looked at her. "Ditto."

She sat upright and looked at him. "Ditto? Who do you love? Or who have you loved?"

"Uh…well…I don't really want to talk about it."

Anna nudged her body into Lorenzo's. "Please talk."

"We're supposed to be looking for Sam. I'm sorry for shutting us in. I'll get us out. Sam really isn't in good hands right now."

Anna picked up the lamb from the ground and played with its fur. "Can you describe her? She obviously broke your heart."

Lorenzo relaxed his body and leaned back onto the wall of the cave. "I don't need to describe her. You already know her. But she's a different person now than she was before. So what I felt for her then no longer exists."

Anna looked at Lorenzo. She leaned back close to him. "Who is she?"

He rolled his head against the wall. "Alexis."


Alexis knocked on Molly's door before she went in. Ric held tight to the crib railing trying to hold up while shielding her from the baby at the same time. Alexis went in but she sat down in the chair in the corner and kept her silence.

Ric broke the silence with a sniffle. "Do they make caskets her size?"

Alexis slide downward in the chair and her body shivered. She grabbed at her sweater wishing it would keep her body still. "I don't know. Can you do all of that? I don't want to."

Ric looked over at Alexis and noticed her staring in the distance. He grabbed whatever would hold him up until he made it to the nearest chair facing her. "Yea. I know this isn't easy for you. So much is going on with Kristina." Ric coughed and held his side in pain.

Alexis sat up in her seat. "Do I need to call Alan?"

Ric shook his head. "No. I'm fine. I'm not leaving her side till the end."

"Me either." Alexis stood up and lingered over Molly's crib. "You know what's going to happen right?"

"Yea. I gave David the ok. I guess. I didn't want to at first."

Alexis pulled the covers up close to Molly. "I've been told that she's not going to wake up."

"I guess you got enough opinions?"

Alexis turned back to him. "Are you implying I'm not doing enough to save her?"

"No. I just want to be sure. She's my only child, Alexis. Please see things from my perspective too. When Molly dies, I've got nothing left but a baby blanket or a stuffed animal. You'll still have Sam, Kristina, and Molly's heart."


Anna sat up again and turned her body to face Lorenzo. "What?!" She ran the back of her hand across her face. "You keep bringing up a relationship with Alexis, but why hasn't Alexis mentioned it?"

Lorenzo stood up and shook the debris from his pants. "Alexis doesn't remember it Anna. And I respect that."

Anna stood up. "You told me in your snide ass manner that Alexis and I merely pretend memory loss. Why haven't you been honest with me from the beginning?"

Lorenzo grew frustrated. "Because my honesty will hurt too many people Anna! Some things are better left alone! It's honesty that's got Sam locked up in that mansion on the hill. I can't waste anymore time here!"

Lorenzo stumped away and Anna attempted to race after him to get his attention again, but her foot caught on a rock and she fell. Anna crawled across the ground in pain trying to stand up. Lorenzo walked back over to her realizing she wasn't faking.

"What the hell did you do now Devane?"

Anna finally stood up, but hopped around on one foot. The pain forced her to sit down again. Lorenzo tried not to laugh and covered him face upon his failure to hide his expressions.

"It hurts." She said with tears in her eyes. "Like I totally sprained it."

Lorenzo kneeled down to her and took her foot in his hands. She squealed in pain. He sat down with her foot in his lap and wrapped his hands around her ankle.

"I'm not much of a doctor. You're gonna have to stay here while I go after Sam."

Anna grabbed Lorenzo's shirt. "Alone? No. Not alone."

"When have you ever been afraid Devane? You're an agent. And obviously accident prone." He applied pressure on her ankle till she squealed in pain.

"Please don't leave. I'm sure Zander will be fine."

Lorenzo rested his hands on her leg. "You do realize I'm touching you right?"

Anna took a deep breath and forced a smile. "I give you permission."

Lorenzo looked down. "So Zander's an agent huh?"

"How do you know anything about Zander? Not that I'm admitting to his status."

"I told you that I've been watching you."

Anna laid on the ground. "Can we discuss that? Why am I so important you?"


Alexis sat back down in the chair in the corner facing Ric still writhing in pain in his chair. "I think I should call Alan." She said.

"No. I'm not leaving Molly, Alexis."

David walked in the room and slowly closed the door behind him. "Hey. I'm glad you're both here."

Alexis and Ric both gasped at the same time, but Ric's lead to more pain in his side.

"Are you ok Ric?" David asked.

Alexis stood up and placed her hands on Ric's shoulders. "He's not leaving. Why are you here right now?" She asked.

David shuffled his feet and shoved his hands in his doctor's coat. "The time is now if we want to get Kristina into surgery. Patrick and Monica are ready. I hate to do this, but time is very important."


Lorenzo watched Anna lying on the ground and waiting for him to answer her questions.

"You're a problem for me Anna. I'm a businessman. I've already admitted too much."

Anna looked up and behind noticing her cell phone flashing. She turned onto her side and perched on her knees. "This might be important. I didn't realize I had reception." She crawled to her phone and read the message. Anna frantically tried to respond, but her phone shutdown. "Crap!" She threw it down in frustration and cradled her face in her hands.

Lorenzo crawled over to her and tried to peek through the spaces between her fingers to see her eyes. "What was that?" He asked.

Anna pulled up her face red with tears. "Molly's almost gone. David sent me a message. This is a nightmare. I should be there right now. I should've been there when Kristina died. I could've been. There's soo much blood on my hands."

Lorenzo's heart fell into his stomach. He pulled back from his knees and sat down crossing his legs. His eyes wondered the ground till they stayed focused on wet spots of Anna's tears in the dirt. He picked up a piece of stick from the ground and dug it into the dirt.

"I'm sorry." He said. "I should've known better than to say what I said to you on the docks about Kristina. I wanted to hurt you…"

"But why?" Anna questioned with tears in her eyes and her throat. "What have I ever done you?"

"You made me dream. I just remember you from soo long ago. I never stopped remembering you. I had to replace my visions of Alexis with someone and that someone was you."

Anna wiped her face with her hands. "You didn't bank on Alexis and I becoming friends huh?"

Lorenzo felt in his pockets and pulled out a soft cloth. He handed it to Anna. "No. I didn't. But Alexis changed. And you never did. She forgot and you didn't."

Anna rested her face in Lorenzo's cloth. "It was my duty to remember you."

Lorenzo moved forward on his knees again and leaned in towards Anna's ear. "Can you forget something I'm going to do?"

Anna pulled away from him. "It depends. What are you going to do?"

"Will you promise to forget that I did it?" He smiled.

Anna nodded. "Yea. I promise."

Lorenzo leaned in to her again and placed his lips on her cheek.

Anna laughed and pulled away from him again. "Ok I lied. I can't forget."

"And why not?" He asked.

"Because I enjoyed it too much."


David gave the orderlies the ok to take Molly away. Ric and Alexis stood together by her empty crib not sure where to go from there.

"I understand what this feels like." David said. "I won't say I'm sorry cause I know it's the last thing you want to hear. But I promise you both that Kristina will come out of surgery a new little girl." David left the room as Nik walked in.

Nik hesitated to approach Alexis but she opened her arms to him. "My little boy." Hugging him, she felt something familiar flow from Nik's body to hers. She pulled from him. "I think everything will work out." She said.

Nik had avoided her eyes not sure of what she was going to say, but he finally looked at her and noticed the glow still there. He averted his eyes and saw Ric leaning on the crib.

"I'm sure we'll find who did this." Nik said to Ric.

Ric nodded. "I'm not concerned about that at the moment."

Alexis couldn't let of Nik. She pressed her face in his neck and took in his smell. "You remind me of Molly." She said to him.

"I got to hold her before…" Nik sucked back tears and held them in. "Maybe it's from holding her."

Alexis disagreed. "No. It's something else. It's not Molly specifically. Your smell is from a while ago, but I can't completely remember."

Ric studied Nik's face filled with sorrow and sincerity. He took a moment to study Nik's dark eyes. Ric tried to remember the pictures of Stavros Alexis had wanted to burn months ago, but he encouraged her to keep them.

Ric grabbed hold to his walker and started towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Alexis asked.

Ric stopped at the door. "I wanna see Molly's heart placed in Kristina's body. That way I'll know my little girl is safe."
