Samantha opened the door to the house hoping to find her husband instead she found an empty house. She held Katie close going through every room to make sure Kane wasn't there.

"He isn't here," Samantha said as Taker brought in her bags.

"I didn't think he would be," Taker knew his brother well enough to know Kane was off wandering endlessly somewhere.

"I wish he would come home," Samantha needed to see him now more than ever.

"Sami, he will come home soon," Taker sat down across from her looking down at the tiny baby in her arms. "She looks so much like Kane," Taker shook his head in disbelief not seeing any resemblance to Batista when he looked at Katie.

"Kane showed me Jessica's baby picture and Katie looks just like her. I don't understand any of this. How could my feelings be so wrong?" Samantha deeply sighed.

"Maybe they weren't," Taker said under his breathe.

"What?"

"Nothing just clearly my throat. Are you having the test redone?"

"Yes, they are redoing it at the hospital as we speak," Samantha hoped they would find out they had made a terrible mistake. "Thank you for bringing us home. If you don't mind I'm going to lay down with the baby."

"I don't mind. You go rest I'm going to run home and check on how Sara is doing with Jessica then I have to run an errand. When Kane comes home please let me know."

"If he comes home," Samantha sadly said.

"He will come home," Taker firmly said hugging her goodbye. "If you need anything call me on my cell."

"I will thanks again Mark," she watched him leave before taking Katie into the other room laying her on the bed. Katy happily squirmed around as Samantha changed her into a sleeper. "No matter what those tests say Kane is your daddy," Samantha looked into her daughter's green eyes wishing her husband would come home.


Undertaker was intending to go home then changed his mind last minute. He drove about fifteen minutes out of his way pulling in front of a house. He was happy to see the navy blue truck in the driveway as he made his way to the door. He knocked a few times till finally he heard the locks click.

"What do you want?" Hunter opened the door part way.

"We need to talk," Taker took off his sunglasses staring Hunter down.

"About what?"

"Your sister and her new daughter," Taker said seeing the sadness fill Hunter's eyes.

"How are Sami and the baby doing?" Hunter asked motioning for Taker to come in.

"Okay for all the shit going on."

"What? Has something happened?"

"Sami and Kane got the paternity test results back this morning. They say that Batista is the father," Taker stared Hunter down.

"No! That isn't possible," Hunter ran his hands through his hair. "My sister doesn't deserve this."

"Well why don't you do something about it," Taker sat down in a nearby chair.

"What can I do?"

"Stop the bullshit. For once think of your sister instead of saving your ass. Right now she is alone with her new daughter because Kane freaked out again walking out on them all because Batista is playing a sick twisted game. Wait till you see Katie she looks exactly like Jessica. Any fool can see she is Kane's daughter. The paternity test is bullshit," Taker started to rant. "I'm tired of my brother and his wife being screwed around with. Damn it Hunter just come clean stop letting Batista control you with the fear that all your lies will come out into the open."

"No one controls me," Hunter glared at him.

"Don't foul yourself Batista is the one in control. He knows you are terrified of Samantha finding out that you are the one responsible for Kane disappearing and you also played a part in trying to keep them apart," Taker said making Hunter stare at him with wide eyes.

"I didn't make Kane disappear," Hunter shook his head in denial.

"Not this time Kane left on his own but the last time you took him," Taker pulled some papers from his coat handing it to Hunter. Hunter glanced over the original lease agreement with his signature and name for the apartment building where Kane was held. He scanned over it again not believing Taker had gotten his hands on it. He had paid quite a large sum of money to the owner to have the agreement destroyed and a phony one given to the police.

"How did you get this?" Hunter asked.

"That isn't important. What is important is what Samantha will think when she finds out her brother leased the whole apartment building her husband was held captive in. This isn't all I have found out. I can go to Samantha with everything I know or you can go tell her the truth right now and help her get Batista out of her life once and for all. It's all up to you Hunter."

Hunter froze for a minute staring at the floor realizing going to Samantha's would open a Pandora's box he wasn't sure he could deal with. He let out a frustrated sigh standing up never looking at Taker as he grabbed his truck keys heading out the door.
