Sami woke up the next morning feeling exhausted. She had spent most of the night plotting a way out. Finally sometime in the early hours of the morning she fell asleep, but it wasn't restful. It was filled with dreams of Lucas, Will, her parents and the rest of the family. The dreams would alternate between Lucas leading her father and Uncle Bo in to save her to them ridiculing her and calling her horrible names.
But Sami wasn't about to let a little dream hold her down. She was going to get out of this and make Tony pay.
The doorknob rattled drawing her attention. Bart entered looking apprehensive.
"The boss man wants you to be ready to see him in an hour," he stated quickly.
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"He wants to get started on the next phase of his plan." He turned to go out.
"Wait, what am I supposed to do for him?"
Bart scratched at his head. "He didn't tell me. Guess we'll find out when he tells you." And he was gone before she could ask any more.

Sami was sitting on the bed an hour later waiting, and plotting. She had to get out of there.
Bart opened the door and peeked in to see if she was ready to go. "Alright Miss Sami. Time to go," he told her with a jerk of his head.
She got up and followed him down the corridor, passing several doors along the way. She couldn't help but wonder if her parents were behind any of those doors.
Tony was waiting around the corner for them. He and two of his guards were standing before a large window, blocking Sami's view of what was on the other side.
"Samantha, so good to see you cooperative," he greeted silkily.
Sami scrunched up her nose disgust. "Do I have a choice?"
Tony shrugged. "Not really. You will do exactly as I say if you want to keep your son and his father healthy and well. Oh, and your parents."
"My parents! They're alive?"
"Oh yes. And in my care." He gestured to the bank of computers and monitors off to the side.
When she looked at one of the screens she could see her parents sitting in a room similar to the one she had been held in. They were looking at a TV. Then they glanced up at the camera and Sami's breath caught. It was like they were looking right at her. She gingerly touched her parents on the screen. "Mom? Daddy?" she whispered. Frantically she looked around and saw the camera monitoring the room she was in. God, they could see her, couldn't they?

Roman and Marlena looked back at the screen were they could see Sami looking into the camera, tears filling her eyes. Marlena reached out to the screen and brushed her fingers over Sami's image. "Oh, Sami-girl," she said softly. "I'm so sorry this is happening to you."
Roman hugged Marlena while he stared at Sami on the screen. "We'll get out of this an make Tony pay," he insisted gently. "All of us."
