Phillip woke up the next morning looking forward to dealing with Alfredo's group. Nick had come over early that morning begging Phillip just to let them go. He tried to convince Phillip those men may have been forced into what they did. Phillip dismissed Nick as being his over sympathetic self and needed to shut up. Jason was as usual on Phillip's side and was busy thinking of creative way to torture and kill the men.
"We could light them on fire."
Jason said with a smile. His dark eyes looked almost satanic as he looked over old books on true crime. Phillip shook his head not even looking at his brother in laws direction.
"I've already done that to someone. Find something new."
Jason looked a little disappointed but quickly regained his smile,
"Well can I have one of those guys for myself then? I want to do it."
Phillip nodded. He could care less what happened to these guys. As long as they were dead that was all that really mattered. He just wanted to find some new methods to make someone's final moments hell.
"Sure Jason. Knock yourself out…just don't burn down the town while you are at it."
Jason grinned with a nod as he started to read again. Phillip glanced at Nick who hadn't moved from his spot by the window. His green eyes looking sadly down at the street below with that expression of deep sadness Nick always seemed to have on his face now.
"Go ahead say it Nicky. We are all gonna burn in hell."
Nick shook his head. He turned from his spot by the window looking at Phillip sadly,
"I'm not wasting my time."
Phillip looked pleased with Nick's response. Part of Phillip felt bad for the way he was slowly burning his friendship with Nick away. The other part of him could care less. Nick was just becoming a tag a long. Sure he was useful for killing bitters but that was about it. He didn't have the same passion in killing people as Phillip or Jason had. Hell Nick didn't even really say much at all now. He hadn't more then 100 words since Brian died. Phillip knew Nick was angry at him for killing Brian but it didn't matter. He did what was right. Brian deserved to die! He should have died along time before Phillip killed him.
"Best thing you've said all day Nicky. Now why don't you make yourself useful and go get Lilly up? We need to get this little show on the road before those morons think we are being nice to them."
Nick sighed before walking into Phillip and Lilly's bedroom without another word. Phillip turned to Jason,
"Anything?
Jason nodded eagerly,
"There's a lot of stuff we can do. I was a total Law and Order nut before all this shit happened. We could shoot one of them in the stomach and let them bleed out. A stomach wound is one of the most painful. Also we could just slowly dismember them. Sure it will be messy but awesome at the same time. There is also the ever popular letting them be eaten by all those bitters we keep locked up. God knows they gotta be getting hungry."
Phillip looked thoughtful as he sat down across from Jason,
"I like them all."
Jason grinned but his smile quickly went into a frown as he glanced toward the bedroom door. He didn't want his sister to hear any of this,
"What about Dixon? What are we gonna do with him?"
Phillip frowned. He had been planning on what to do to him all night,
"We'll find something. Bring him over here. We may get stated early."
Jason stood with a nod before walking out the door leaving Phillip alone in the living room. After a couple of minutes of silence Lilly's screamed and the sound of something slamming against the wall grabbed his attention. Phillip quickly walked into the bedroom where Lilly stood holing Nick at gunpoint. Nick's face was pale as he held his hands up trembling as he looked at Phillip.
"Lilly what the hell are you doing to Nick?"
Phillip asked as Lilly spun around pointing the gun at him now. Her brown eyes looked furious as she looked him over.
"Do I know you?"
Phillip looked confused as he glanced at Nick who was shaking his head. He looked back to Lilly before that annoyed feeling started to go through him.
"Well god damn it I sure hope so! This isn't funny Lilly. Now put the gun down before you kill someone."
She shook her head,
"No kidding it's not funny! I have no idea who either of you are or where I am? Who am I anyway?"
Nick stepped forward,
"You're Lilly."
Lilly rolled her eyes getting angry,
"yeah I got that from him!"
Phillip rolled his eyes before walking over and taking the gun away from her. She trembled as he slammed her against the wall.
"What the hell is the matter with you?"
Lilly looked up at him angrily before yanking away.
"Don't touch me! Who the hell do you think you are?"
Phillip had to resist the urge to slap her,
"I'm your husband."
Nick stepped closer now getting in-between Phillip and Lilly. He didn't want either one of them to end up hurt. Something was really wrong here! Lilly wouldn't normally just forget who Phillip was.
"Dude something is seriously wrong with her! I don't think she is making this up."
Nick whispered softly. He watched as Phillip backed away but kept a close eye on his wife. Phillip turned to Nick with a frown,
"Go get Dr. Stevens and for god sakes see what is taking Jason so long. He may know what the devil is going on here!"
As Nick walked out of the apartment Phillip looked back to Lilly who sitting with her hands on her lap.
"You really don't know me?"
Lilly looked up sadly. She shook her head looking around the room as though she had never been here a day in her life. Phillip frowned,
"I'm Phillip. You don't remember anything about us Lilly? Not anything? What about Suzy and Alex?"
Lilly frowned,
"Who are they?"
Phillip felt what he had of a heart break. She couldn't even remember their kids. He sighed sitting down.
"They are our children. Lilly what's happened to you darlin?"
She shrugged as Dr. Stevens came in looking almost nervous. Her tired old face looked at Lilly sadly before looking at Phillip,
"Can I talk to you?"
Phillip glanced at Lilly carefully. He didn't want to leave her sitting there all confused and alone. Dr. Stevens gently touched his hand,
"She will be all right for a moment."
Phillip finally relented and followed the doctor into the living room where Nick stood looking at his feet. Dr. Stevens sat down slowly.
"Nick told me what was wrong."
Phillip sat down keeping a watch on the bedroom door in case Lilly decided to try to escape. That was the last think he needed! He couldn't be chasing her all over god's grand creation and her not knowing who anyone was.
"Yea well what the hell is wrong with her? She doesn't even remember our kids of all people."
Dr. Stevens looked sympathetically at the man in front of her. Sometimes he seemed like he had a few screws loose other times he was normal. Dr. Stevens knew there was something dark to The Governor but she wouldn't question what he did. He was the only one that was able to keep them safe and not seem like a complete egotistical asshole.
"Ms. Lilly has been under a lot of stress lately Governor. I think that has something to do with her loosing her memory. Without being able to do an x-ray of her brain I have no way of knowing 100%. The only thing we can do sir is wait it out. Hopefully she will regain everything soon. I am afraid though if she doesn't keep calm the next few days it could lead to a stroke."
Phillip turned walking to the window quickly. This was the last thing he needed now! He had a town to run, children to raise, morons to kill, and now the one woman he counted on more then anyone didn't have a damn clue who he or herself was! Dr. Stevens voice was gentle as she began to talk again.
"May I make a few suggestions?"
She watched as The Governor turned to face her. He didn't look at nice as he used to before he got stabbed in the eye. Now he looked more sinister and ready to kill anyone that got in his way.
"That's why I asked you to come here."
He said coldly. Dr. Stevens nodded,
"Try not to loose your patience with her sir. She won't be able to handle it! If she was at all sensitive to things you said prior to this she will be even more sensitive now. These next few days will be exhausting for everyone. Also don't try to force yourself on her. Most people with memory loss will find one person and latch to them until things are better. Try to say and show her things that could help boost her memory but don't drive her nuts with it. You'll know when she's head enough."
Phillip looked at her with an annoyed expression. Patience wasn't exactly something he had oodles of anymore. He would have to find a way to watch himself with her now. Dr. Stevens stood as Lilly walked into the room. She looked at her sadly.
"Hello Lilly."
Lilly looked at her confused,
"Hi lady I don't know."
Dr. Stevens smiled gently looking at Phillip who was shaking his head looking back out the window. She didn't know how well he would be for his right now. Hopefully he would prove her wrong and keep Lilly safe.
"I'm Dr. Stevens. I'll be coming to see you a few times a day. Well I've got to be going. I'll see you soon."
Lilly watched as Dr. Stevens turned walking out the door without another word. She looked back to Phillip, if that's what he said his name was, carefully. Lilly didn't quite know if she was really married to him or not but she wasn't going to argue. He didn't seem like the more patient person. She made a mental note to try to figure out what his problem was.
Phillip looked up when Jason walked back into the room looking confused as hell. Jason glanced at Phillip before looking at his sister.
"Hi sissy."
She frowned looking around the room,
"Who are you talking too?"
Jason raised an eyebrow lokoing at Lilly like she had just stepped off of another planet.
"Uh…you silly."
Phillip stepped closer to Lilly now. Now he had to explain to her brother that she had no idea who he was either. Dr. Stevens should have hung around a little so she could explain this mess to him.
"Jason we have a problem. Lilly has something wrong with her."
Lilly looked at Phillip angrily. She raised her hand to smack him but he quickly caught her. He didn't even look at her as he held her tightly against him.
"I do not have a problem!"
Phillip sighed ignoring the look on Jason's face. He clearly didn't like the way Phillip grabbed her.
"Darlin stop! You aren't going to hit me so just knock it off before I tie you up. Now…Jason she's lost her memory for some reason. Dr. Stevens thinks its stress related."
Jason stood with an open mouth ignoring the comment Phillip had made about tying his sister up. He looked at her carefully before speaking,
"Lilly I'm Jason your brother."
Lilly grinned,
"Anyone ever tell you that you look like the guy from Maroon 5?"
Phillip looked angry at that comment. Lilly could remember some famous singer but she couldn't remember her own family. That was just great! Jason smiled slightly and nodded.
"All the time."
Lilly laid her head against Phillip's chest not fighting him to get loose. He didn't move to hold her the way he usually did. Phillip couldn't. Every passing second he felt a little more of his humanity slowly going down the drain. Lilly was the thing that kept him from going into full psychopath mode.
"I'm tired."
She whispered softly as she glanced up at Phillip. He wasn't a bad looking guy at all! When he pulled her into his arms she felt a small tingle of desire go through her. Even though she was pissed at him at the moment she would have loved to have had her way with him.
"Want to come lay down with me?"
Phillip shook his head letting her go. He didn't look at all interested.
"I've got work to do. Go on."
Lilly frowned feeling a little saddened by the tone in his voice but walked into the bedroom shutting the door behind her.
Meanwhile, Jason hadn't moved from his spot by the door. He didn't know really what to say. What would have been the appropriate response to your sister not knowing anything?
He couldn't just brush it off and say it will be ok because he didn't know.
Nick had finally got the courage to look at Phillip. He knew this would probably cause Phillip to unravel farther. This wouldn't be at all good for Phillip's mental state.
"I'll keep an eye on her if you want. I know you have a lot to do today."
Nick tried to keep his voice as gentle as possible. Phillip looked at him only nodded. Nick carefully sat down on the couch. He wasn't going to say a word now. Messing with Phillip would get him shot.
Phillip finally rememebered the request he made of Jason before this fiasco started,
"Jason where is Merle?"
Jason quickly looked nervous as he began to pace.
"Well sir I honestly don't know. I went to get him and he was gone! The guards don't have any clue how he got gone but he's no where!"
Jason watched as Phillip went into full of Governor mode.
"WHAT? HOW DID THEY LET THIS HAPPEN? WHO WAS THE DAMN GAURDS LAST NIGHT? THIS GUY IS ON THE LOOSE AND HE KNOWS ALL OF OUR SECRETS! THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR ANYONE IN WOODBURY! JASON GO FIND THOSE GAURDS KILL THEM AND MEET ME AT THE GATES! WE GOT TO FIND MERELE BEFORE THIS BACKFIRES ON US!"
Jason nodded walking out the door leaving Nick and very very angry Phillip alone. Phillip turned to Nick who looked as shocked as he felt.
"Keep her safe Nick! Whatever she says do not let her outside this apartment. Even though she's nuts at the moment I'm not loosing her!"
