Worldwide Industries

Lilly made herself a drink at the minibar before she waited for Ripley to come to the office. They were supposed to go over the finance report from one of the executives who were keeping an eye on everything that employees bought from time to time, to bring here. But it was up to them to let Lilly and Ripley know what was going on, lately though since Lilly and Ripley were co-owners, the two of them haven't communicated a lot lately unless it was for business meetings or other matters. Lilly though saw the latest fiance report and there were things that didn't make sense to her when it came to Ripley, what he was buying, taking stuff for Worldwide Industries that were not needed at all. She didn't even hear any of this with Ripley which pissed her off so hopefully Wells would take this serious and not try to BS his way out of the meeting. Lately since the last time any of them were in a room together with Wells, Dusty and Iris, there hasn't been any kind of fights or fussing between the Dusty and Ripley which is odd. One thing is for sure, Dusty was probably laying low and getting any kind of dirt he needed to blow Wells out of the water. Hearing the doors open, Lilly looks over to see Wells who came in to the room.

Ripley - "You wanted to see me Lilly?"

Lilly - "Have a seat Wells, we have a lot to discuss even though we should of spoken about this weeks ago"

Ripley - "Something tells me this won't be good to discuss whatever it is. You know though I have been very busy as of late"

Lilly ignored what he said and picked up the folder before throwing it at Ripley who caught it unexpectedly, looking at his co-worker in surprise. She was not happy at the moment with her partner and part owner of the company.

Ripley - "Aren't you in a pushy mood today?"

Lilly - "Just READ it Wells, that's the latest finance report to come out and everything you've bought is too expensive"

Ripley - "What are you...oh yeah...that"

He looked at the finance report and all of what he bought was on the list which is very expensive. Lilly sat down and took a sip of her drink, waiting for his response since there's a lot he needs to go over.

Lilly - "Well?"

Ripley - "Lilly I can explain all of this okay? What you see on this finance report are things we could use for possible projects in the near future"

Lilly - "What projects?"

Ripley - "That I can't tell you right now but down the-"

Lilly - "No Ripley, you and I are partners, were supposed to talk certain things through to make it work. You've been going behind my back, now there's no excuses so we need to make this work"

Ripley rolled his eyes at the sound of her voice, trying to be all tall, demanding, almost looking down at him from what he could feel despite Lilly not standing up. This is what he didn't like when it came to business, you have to share, work together, even be on the same page but how could Wells do that when Lilly clearly didn't like her. Lilly didn't like Wells either ever since he tried to take over the company away from him, heck, other employees didn't like Ripley as well due to his demeanor at times including the way he interacts with certain women too. Ripley was kind of pushing it in a way and throwing his weight around here like he owns the place, so if he doesn't change his attitude he could be out of a job but Lilly would need something damaging to come out on him. Dusty Donovan was outside of Lilly's office, listening in to the meeting of what is going on between them. His contacts have already begun looking more into Ripley's background and nothing has happened right now. Dusty wished they could pick up the pace but even he had to realize that these things do take time to come into fruition. Either way, that bastard was going down and not coming back to the company but what Dusty didn't pay attention to was Iris walking up to him, who noticed Dusty listening to the conversation.

Himalayas

After their plane landed, Simon, Jake and Molly got off before they went to their hotel to settle down for a bit before they left to look for Ryan and Vicky. Those were two others who needed to be saved whether they want to admit it or not, Jake knew he could save them but Vicky and Ryan could save themselves too. Sometimes those two allowed their emotions to speak for themselves at times of dangers, but the pairing were so good together as a team. If Ryan never 'died' and went into the WPP, the man and his lover would be together, not Jake and Vicky. Jake remembered the time he came into town and helped her grieve the loss of her husband. Ryan meant a lot to Vicky and vice versa, but to have him back in her life, Jake was very happy for Vicky. Jake has his soul mate in Molly with him right now, as the two of them left their hotel room after taking a shower, drying off and changing into new clothes. Meeting up with Simon, the two of them could see the man was on the phone talking to someone but they didn't know who. Along the way Jake knows that he could trust Simon for this, because if it wasn't for what he's done along with Molly's trust, they would not be here right now.

Simon - "Alright...thanks...bye"

Simon ends the call after seeing Jake and Molly behind him, as the two of them looked prepared. Jake was on the phone with someone who Simon had to guess it was Vicky and Ryan or maybe someone can help them on the inside.

Simon - "Oh hey you two, you look well rested and ready to go"

Jake - "Thank you, it's not everyday when you come back from the dead to see places such as the Himalayas. It's very beautiful"

Molly - "Too bad we can't be here for something else more fun...but were here on business. Who was that on the phone Simon?"

Simon - "One of my contacts who told me there was a sighting of Ryan and Vicky somewhere near the Himalayas"

Jake - "Glad you said that Simon, I actually got off the phone before we came to you. I did speak with Ryan and Vicky, they're fine"

Simon - "What did they say?"

Jake - "They told me they're waiting in a house a couple miles away from where we are staying. They're safe Simon"

Simon - "For now you mean? We still need to keep our guard up guys, after that run in we just had at the farm, they might be on their way here"

Molly - "Well, as the old saying goes, we have no time to loose, hopefully Ryan and Vicky are okay. We'll need to be aware of anything that goes on"

Simon - "Same here but let's remember to keep ourselves warm while were out there since the Himalayas can be very cold, Let's go"

Simon, Molly and Jake leave the hotel as they start to search for Ryan and Vicky in the Himalayas. Coming to a place like this meant that there were certain advantages and disadvantages for them being here. The Himalayas were best know for their mountain ranges including the highest peaks, and what separates the Himalayas were in the middle was the border that splits Nepal and China. Ryan and Vicky must have had to cover a lot of ground in order to make sure whoever was coming after them would not follow their trails. As long as Jake was on the phone with them but keeping a low profile with Simon and Molly so that none of them would be seen. But when they left the hotel, someone who was looking at the newspaper puts it down before he takes out his cell phone to call whoever it was on the other line. Speaking to the other person on the line, Simon, Molly and Jake didn't noticed him as they thought he was just some typical average guy doing nothing but reading the newspaper. Whoever the man was working with, he couldn't be trusted as he ends the call, then pretends he's reading the newspaper again. Outside Jake, Molly, and Simon started walking to one of the locations but keeping an eye on everything else.

Honolulu, Hawaii

Stepping off the jet that Craig Montgomery offered to her after she left Oakdale hours ago, Samantha grabbed a taxi and took off to one of the hotels Kirk was at. It was always either one of them stepping into something that they shouldn't be a part of, but danger and action comes with them wherever they go. Year after year they always felt like being on the run from someone but this time it's different. They couldn't make out the identity of the person but Samantha and Kirk were not going to waste their time on that. Arriving at the hotel, Samantha came inside but immediately saw the police who asking the people at the front desk questions about a certain incident. Wearing her sunglasses Samantha, she took a magazine and pretender to be one of the guests before she got a little closer enough to the police. Hearing about a group of men chasing someone who wasn't a guests at the hotel, Samantha immediately figured it out and decided that it had to be Kirk, that's the only thing that makes sense. Without wasting anytime, Samantha placed the magazine down at one of the tables before leaving the hotel. Looking around, she started to a wave at a taxi that Samantha saw the moment she stepped out of the hotel.

Samantha - "Taxi! Taxi!"

The taxi stopped before she got in and told the driver where to go. Sitting back, Samantha had to keep an eye out for Kirk and felt that the only place he would go to hide would be near a warehouse or something more secluded. Meanwhile back on the boat that John and Lucinda went on for snorkeling, the two of them along with Kirk were tied up together, sitting in three chairs, as the men who were in charge of the boat including the men who kidnapped them were outside of the room. Kirk was looking around for something they could use to get out of this jam while struggling to get out.

Kirk - "Where's a good knife around here that you could use to break free of these ropes? Man they feel too tight"

John - "I'm sorry but are you now complaining after the HELL you put me and my wife though? Let me correct that again, you and your wife actually but you wouldn't admit it"

Kirk - "John, Lucidna, look I am sorry for bringing the trouble to you guys but I had no other way. They kept chasing after me and I got sick and tired of it all"

John - "Making excuses already Kirk, you rotten no good sell out of a coward you-"

Lucinda - "John, just stop okay? Both of you, all of this bickering, this whining will not help us anyway. We need to start thinking and start using our heads in this situation"

Kirk - "You're right Lucinda...wait a minute, what's that?"

Kirk nodded over to what looks like a knife and other objects they could use for what they're up against. All of it is placed underneath the cabinets as one of the cabinet doors were open, so they could get one of these objects then plane ahead. Before any of them move, the door of the them room open and the person in charge of the boat comes in with a gun in his hand pointed at them.

Kirk - "Oh I see, big man with a weapon in his hand, that makes you real tough big boy?"

The man snarls before smacking Kirk with the butt of his gun causing Kirk to groan, turning his head then looking up at the guy with a grin on his face. John and Lucinda looked at Kirk like he was crazy trying to threaten, taught that man who was dangerous, hell, all of them were dangerous. But Kirk has come into some encounters over the years where his life and Samantha's life was on the line, as they overcame it. This one though was not going to be simple of easy at all. The man with the gun in his hand threatened them and told the three that they weren't going anywhere for the time being but if any of them moved, they would be killed right on the spot. After that the man left the room and shut the door, now Lucinda out of the three of them was scared the most despite not showing it when that guy came in to the room. She hoped that someone, any of them whether it was police or others were on the way to help them out. Lucinda didn't like how she was dragged into this despite helping out her brother in law Kirk. Back on the homeland of Honolulu near the waterfront district, Samantha who got out of the taxi, paid the driver off before he left, started to look around before noticing a group of men on a boat near the sea. One of them had a gun in his hand talking with the other men close to him. That had to be where Kirk was being held, it's the only way for Samantha to go to next but she had to be careful.

Samantha - "Hang on Kirk...i'm coming"

Worldwide Industries

Wells looked over the finance report that Lilly threw at him, he knew this was going to come out sooner rather than later. But there was nothing to be done now but face her so called wrath, oh please, nothing about Lilly was intimidating. The previous owner of this company, Lilly Walsh was more of the challenging, intimidating and threatening businesswoman when that meeting took place. The way she gave her daughter that last part of her stock put Lilly over the map, something that her daughter wished she could do put couldn't be able to pull it off. What made Lilly even think she had confidence in herself to one up Wells, if that day came around to where Lilly would try to go after Wells and kick him out of the company. If that happened, Ripley as you know would expose Lilly and what she was trying to do. Then you have her sidekick in Dusty Donovan who seemed like he was trying to pull the rug from out underneath him. Let him, Wells will expose him to for everything that he's doing as well. Lilly and Dusty would both be gone for the company, then Lilly wouldn't be a problem anymore. Dusty would not be a problem anymore, all would be his in the end.

Lilly - "Hello? Wells, are you there or not?"

Ripley - "Patience Lilly, I was just looking at the fiancé report and you make some very good points"

Lilly - "I do?"

Ripley - "Yes, I mean some things on here are not worth it but there's others that matter. The warehouses will be where we put out current products inside"

Lilly - "And the previous products?

Ripley - "Doesn't matter, we'll just get rid of them and start brand new. There's many things in the company that we don't need"

Lilly - "Well if you think I am going to cut others or take their jobs away Wells that's just not right. And it also shows how delusional you are when it comes to business"

Ripley - "You say that like it's the god honest truth Lilly. Do you ever stop and look yourself in the mirror, asking yourself maybe you should step down?"

Lilly - "Before you came here everything was fine before you are starting to ruin all of it. What you're bringing in isn't good enough for the company?

Ripley - "What shall I do to make it better?

Lilly - "Step down from the company Wells that will make things better. I won't you destroy the reputation of my mother's company, she started this from the ground up and gave it to me"

Ripley - "Not a chance in hell. There'll be nothing for me to step down to when I am this close of having it all"

Dusty - "Everything okay in here?"

Ripley and Lilly see Dusty at the door with folder in his hand. Dusty could tell something was going on between the two of them at the moment.

Ripley - "Now is a bad time Mister Donovan"

Dusty - "Is it?"

Lilly - "I think were about done here Wells. Do whatever you want but from now on, if I see anything on the financial report that raises more red flags...I will be going to the board of directors to have you removed"

Wells - "We'll see about that"

Wells walks away from both Lilly and Dusty before leaving the office as a whole so he can go back to his own damn office. The meeting was a waste of time between everyone and both Wells and Snyder had better things to do. It wasn't like Wells not understood what she meant because he did, but the two of them could buy anything they want with the company. Lilly wasn't going to do down the long low run where she could go down and dirty to stop Wells, but at the same time she wasn't going to do that. It's too good for her, as Ripley went to his office to open the door before seeing Iris organizing everything. Remembering to make his favorite drink, Lilly presents it to him which surprised the man himself. In the beginning Iris was slow to get things done but the man was just trying to show her how brutal business could be. There was no room for slackers or anything else but now the man was tense so he took the drink and sips a little bit on it. Sitting back down at his desk, Wells leaned back in his chair and wondered what to do next. Back in her office, Lilly looks over the information Dusty gave her and was stunned at some of the things she saw, but this could help them out in the long run before Dusty left.

The Himalayas

After traveling and walking outside of the village they were staying to look for Ryan and Vicky, Simon, Jake and Molly continued to search for them. Along their way everything seemed to be clear for the three, there were no obstacles, no one getting in the way, and to be honest that was actually good. But none of them could deny the fact that someone out there had to be watching them, so for someone like Simon, including Jake and Molly they had to keep their eyes ahead on certain things. Passing through different small houses, people, including those who were taking care of each other, etc., Simon looked up ahead before seeing a small cabin on the other side of the Himalayas. That must be where Vicky and Ryan are, as Jake got on the phone with Vicky and Ryan so keep in contact with them while Molly continued to looking out for anything suspicious she could see. At first she thought there was nothing else going on, but in the back of her mind, something told her that they were being followed by someone. Looking in front and behind her, Molly shrugged it off and shook her head, maybe she was just over thinking everything which Jake noticed.

Jake - "What's wrong Molly?"

Molly - "Nothing Jake, just thought I saw or heard something that's all. How much closer are we to Ryan and Vicky?"

Jake - "It shouldn't take that much long but I hope those two are alright"

Molly - "You've always told me how resilient both of them are Jake, they should be alright. Both of them can handle anything but we can't take anything for granted"

Simon - "Where are they now Jake?"

Jake - "In a cabin up ahead...that's the one, do you think they're there Simon?"

Simon - "Well, were about to find out. When we go up to the door I will be one side, then you two on the other side. I'll knock on the door but we need to prepared for who may be on the other side"

Simon pulls up to the small cabin as he parks the car before all three of them got out. The three of them walk up to the door before they knock on it. With Simon on one side and Jake on the other, they wait for the door open and when it does Jake immediately jumps on the person.

Jake - "Gotcha! Who are you huh!? What did you do with Ryan and Vicky?"

Vicky - "Jake, will you knock it off, it's Ryan!"

Jake stopped and saw Vicky behind him, Ryan turned around facing Jake before he punched him in the face. Jake held onto the side of his face where he felt the punch from, groaning at the same time looking at an alive Ryan as well

Ryan - "Nice going jackass"

Jake - "Ow...what was that for?

Vicky - "Your dumb decision making you idiot, thank god you're okay though. I missed you so much

Jake - "Me too Vicky, me too"

Vicky hugged Jake, relieved to see him and glad that he was okay, fully alive, as Jake smiled. Despite Ryan punching Jake in the face, Jake was just happy to see the mother of their children alive and well. Molly, who knew all about Vicky from Jake was also glad that Jake's ex-wife was found safe here in the Himalayas. This felt way too easy thought and wondered if this was some kind of trap, but before any of them could say anything, they heard the sound of bullets coming through the window. Immediately all four of them went inside the house before Ryan closed the door. Immediately taking cover in different places, Jake held onto Molly, Vicky held on to Ryan and Simon was by himself as all of them took cover. First it was an explosion, a shoot out and now another shootout in the Himalayas. This could of turned out to be the best happy ending but that would be just flat out boring between everyone else. You need some excitement and danger all at the same time. Everyone in the house was almost falling the a part as the strength of this everyone was trying to take cover. Jake held Molly close to him, as Ryan and Vicky did the same thing while Simon looked up at the window that was barely covered by using one of the desks but the shooting still continued.

Honolulu, Hawaii

Looking around the docks, Samantha saw an empty speed boat that was covered in a sheet as it looks like it hasn't been used in a while. So with no one else around, Samantha slowly walks up and pretends that she was just taking a stroll on the waterfront but in all honesty, she wasn't. She could use the boat to head over to the other boat that she knows Kirk was being held hostage by those men who were standing there, and keeping an eye out on things for someone or something. Kirk didn't know what kind of trouble her husband was in, but damn it, she was going to save his ass and make sure he's safe. Stepping onto the boat, Samantha pulls the sheet up and to her surprise, there were rifles, and even smoke bombs at the same time that can be used to distract the men. Grinning, Samantha got on the boat before immediately starting it up and took off to the boat where Kirk is at. Speaking of Kirk, the man himself, Lucinda and John were trying to reach over to the open cabinet, despite the three of them being stuck together. Of course, it was difficult to get it done, but they weren't giving up. Kirk though felt like he was just about there to get out of the ropes that he was tied to with Lucinda and John.

Kirk - "Alright...just a little more and I will be free"

John - "Wait, you're not going to leave us here stranded aren't you?"

Kirk - "Hell no, I am going to get us out of here, now if I can just...there...got it!"

Kirk broke out of the ropes he was tied himself after trying his best to get of them due to past experiences when the man and Samantha were in difficult situations. Lucinda and John were both surprise, shocked, wondering how he was able to do this after all this time.

Lucinda - "How did you learn how to do that?"

John - "Lucinda took the words right out of my mouth"

Kirk - "Long story short, experience always come handy. Let's get the two of you out those ropes, then we need to plan ahead"

Kirk, who goes over to the cabinet, takes out a knife before cutting the rest of them that tied Lucinda and John together. John and Lucinda got up before they hugged one another, glad, relieved that they were just about home free to get off this boat.

Lucinda - "Thank you Kirk, those ropes nearly burned through my skin"

John - "I have never been so uncomfortable thanks to these scum bags. But seriously Kirk, thank you so much for your help"

Kirk - "No need to thank me guys. I'm just doing my job, but now we need to think of how to take control of the situation"

John - "Well sunshine, do you have any bright ideas?"

Kirk - "I got it, one of the men will come in here to check on us to see that there's no funny business. One of us need to get on object, doesn't matter what is, each time those guys come here, we knock them out"

Lucinda - "And then what?"

Kirk - "We tied them up, I will take control of the boat and were out of here"

John - "Now hold on Kirk, what about the men?"

Kirk - "I'll make sure we go back to shore, alert the authorities and then hand them off to the good guys once this is done"

Lucinda - "What about Samantha? She has to be worried about you Kirk, you need to call her"

Kirk - "That will be taken care of later, I will make sure of that. Right now we need to get ourselves ready for...wait...one of them is coming. Quick guys, let's grab something"

Kirk, Lucinda and John all grab certain things out of the cabinet of what they could do to knock out one of the goons. When they grab certain items, John is on one side, Lucinda and John are on the other side of the doors. As they wait for the guy to come back, out in the ocean Samantha was about to approach the boat so she prepared herself. Putting on her bullet proof vest, Samantha loads up her rifle before started firing off at each of the men who were taken off guard. Feeling the bullets in their chests, some of them fell off the boat into the ocean while the rest just fell to the floor of the boat in the ocean. Some were dead, some were still breathing barely and the rest were up in the air, Samantha didn't give a damn about those thugs. So pulling up to the boat, Samantha made sure none of them got up as she grabs the rifle, taking it with her. Seeing some goon run up to her, Samantha shoots him with hesitation as he falls to the ground. Hearing another person come up to the back of the boat, Samantha was ready to shoot but then Kirk came out and immediately put up his hands up. Dropping the rifle from her hands, Samantha races over to Kirk before hugging him in relief as they kissed one another while John and Lucinda who followed Kirk, stopped to see them as Lucinda was so happy to see her sister after all this time.

Kirk - "Samantha"

Samantha - "Kirk"

Both Samantha and Kirk kissed one another while John and Lucinda watch. The two of them were happy for the couple who just reunited in the midst of men on the floor still not moving after Samantha shot them with her rifle. But that didn't matter, because for Samantha and Kirk it was just the two of them and no one else in their own way.

END OF EPISODE 8
