Passions: Through the Television (chapter 7)
So our plan had taken flight, and was hopefully about to have a safe landing. I got up that morning with a new-found confindance, because our plan was on the fast track to working.
But, another part of me was more afraid because I knew it couldn't be that easy. But I just told myself that everything was fine and that it was going to work.
That day I felt was going to be a wild one because of the buliding and talking with Sam and just everything. So I slipped on a pair of old faded jeans and a white T-shirt. The air outside was hot. It is surprising how quickly seasons change in soap-operas.
I decided to bring my bookbag that day. So I slipped my laptop out of it's carry case and into my bookbag. On the bookbag it said, "Christy's Lucky Pack". This made me wonder who Christy was before she came here. I knew that she was just a charactor brought in by the writers but, I'm her. But I am not. That is where it got confusing.
I shook of these feelings as I reached under my matress and got the tape. I was glad that it doidn't disapear overnight somehow.
I slipped that into my pack as well. I also threw in a bottled water in case I got thristy and didn't want to stop and buy a drink. Mrs. Bennett usually has lemonade, of course, while we're working on the house.
That day I didn't even have to grab a jacket. There was clear skys and the sun was hot as ever. I still couldn't get over how strange it was.
So I went outside and took in all in. The whole town. It was wonderful.
I saw Jacob coming over to meet me. I smiled and said, "You're late today."
"Don't ask." He said. He looked tired.
I put my hand up and said, "I won't."
We starting walking to the Bennett house and he said finally, "You got the tape?"
"Course I do." I said. "Oh! Let's stop here and look at the previews. I forgot to."
We stopped and sat on a bench next to the sidewalk.
I logged on and the previews read as follows:
"Theresa and Ethan go down to the Bennetts work crew to hand out wedding invites. Sheridan and Luis go site seeing. Jacob and Christy tell Sam that they need to talk with him. Simone returns to Harmony with a new love interest. Kay talks to Simone about major decison she has made. Kay also vows to herself to change after getting her soul back."
"Well," I said, closing the laptop, "Looks like alls well in love and-" I pulled out the tape of Alistair and Julian, "-War."
When we got to the Bennetts they were all working on painting the place. Looks like they had gotten an early morning start too.
When we got there Sam was instructing Miguel and Reese what to do next. Jacob and I walked up and Jacob said, "Mr. Bennett, we need to talk to you. It's very importian."
Sam had a concerned face as he said, "Jacob, Christy, okay."
He took us around back so no one could over hear. "What is it?" Sam asked.
Jacob and I exchanged glances and then I took out the tape, "This tape has the proof that Alistair and Julian killed Martin Fitsgareld."
Sam had a disbelieving look as he said, "Luis's father?"
Jacob nodded and said, "Yes. Christy and I, well, we worked together to make sure that Alistair doesn't know we have this tape. As far as we know he has no idea he and Julian were recorded."
"Wha-how-how'd you do this?" Sam asked, puzzled.
"Look," I started, "We can't give you the details of how. The point is what do we do now? We figured that you would know."
"Well-what exactly does the tape say?" Sam asked.
Jacob and I looked at each other and then back at Sam and we both said, "Everything."
Then Jacob went on to say, "It says where the body is, how Sheridan saw a body under a bloodly sheet when she was girl the night Martin Fitsgareld disapeared. The night that gave her nightmares. She believe that she killed Martin Fitsgareld. But that's not true. She only thought she did. The truth is that Alistair and/or Julian killed him. And we know where the body is."
"Oh my God..." Sam said.
"We don't want anything to happen to Ethan or Sheridan or Jacob or any of the other Cranes. We only want Alistair and Julian taken down." I said.
"I wouldn't worry about that." Sam said, "Ethan was very very young when Martin was killed. And Sheridan, well, she doesn't really know anything for sure. Just memories in dreams. Nothing should happen to her either. Just Alistair and Julian..." Sam trailed off. Then he said, "Do you realize what will happen?"
Jacob and I looked at each and grinned as we said, "Yep."
I gave the tape to Sam and he went down to the police station to listen to it with his police force. He said to us before he left, "You two make a great team. You've both done enough. Don't worry, nothing will happen to those who don't deserve it."
That was not good news for Alistair and Julian.
So Jacob and I were safe. Alistair must not have discovered our opperation.
So when we saw Kay and Simone talking we decided to 'over-hear' their conversation.
"His name is Robbie." Simone said.
"But what about Chad?" Kay asked.
"What about him?" Simome repiled, "He loves Whitney. You know that as well as I do."
Kay nodded and said, "I've been thinking too."
"About Miguel and your next scheme to get him as your own?" Simone asked sarcasticly.
"Yeah," Kay answered, "It's over. He loves Charity and I've already tried everything."
"What?" Simone asked, surprised.
"Just what I said." Kay answered, "Who's to say it would've turned into anything anyway. Right?"
"Right..." Simone said, still not believing it.
The basic conversation being over Jacob and I wandered off.
"Can you believe it?!" I said. "Everything is perfect!"
Jacob took my hand and said, "Yep. Perfect."
We kissed and that's when I knew that everything was going to be okay.
So the day came and went. I think today was one of those, 'Happy Harmony' days.
But I failed to think of them as, the calm before the storm.
So at the end of the day Jacob walked me home. "Wasn't today the best day?" I said.
"It was." Jacob said. "Almost to good." Jacob paused before he said, "Maybe you should check the previews. You know, see if anything is gonna go down tonight."
I grinned and said, "I'm sure everything will be fine. But I promise, I'll check them before I go to bed. Okay?"
"Okay." Jacob said, "Call me if anything comes up."
"I will." I agreed.
When I went up to my place I sat down on my bed with my laptop and logged one. I turned at I thought I heard something outside in the hallway.
I got up to see what it was. I looked in the hallway, it was empty, I still felt like something was up.
I brushed the feeling off and turned to go into my apartment.
But when I turned, I did not see my empty apartment, instead, a man was standing next to my bed. He had a gun.
I took a deep breath and kicked him down to the ground. But then someone jumped me from behide. He held the gun to my neck and whispered in my ear, "Where's the tape?"
