"CHLOE, WAKE UP." Mac stood over her unconscious friend. She looked around the room and noticed the stunned faces staring at her. " Oh come on people, like no one in Salem has ever returned from the dead."
"She makes a point." Marlena gave Mac and smile and moved to her unmoving daughter-in-law, leaning over her she lightly slaps her face." Chloe dear."
"Mama up." Gabriella says as she shakes her mother's arm. "Mama Play."
"GABREILLA." Nancy yells as she walks down the stairs seeing her granddaughter, the little girls' face lights up and she throws out her arms to be picked up. Nancy runs to comply when she sees first Chloe's unconscious body, and then Mac standing over her, she takes a step back and clutches at her heart. "OH MY GOD."
" Nancy don't you dare, faint on me." Mac moves toward the women, and leads her to a chair. " You'll scare the kid." Mac turns and picks up Gabriella and hands her to her grandmother, as she turns back to wake up Chloe." Someone call Brady."
"I'm on it." Belle takes out her cell and dials her brother.
Chloe begins groaning as she starts to leave her dream world. "What happened?" She feels strong arms help her sit up and she begins to look around the room, and she smiles when her gaze lands on her mother holding Gabriella, and the recent events come crashing back she begins to faint again when a hand stats slapping her face." Stop, I'm up." She looks at the annoying hand and friends herself staring into Mac's smiling face." You're dead."
"Obviously not, if I'm standing in front of you." Mac and Lucas help her stand.
"I'll deal with you later." Chloe glares at her friend, happy to have her back, but angry at the grief she caused, and walks toward her daughter. "Hey baby." Using her hand she moves the hair off Gabriella face, and tucks it behind her ear.
"Mama."
"Yeah, I missed you." Chloe takes the little girl in her arms and hugs her tight, and raises an eyebrow at Mac." You took her?"
"Yeah, preemptive strike, got her about a minute before Patrick's man could." A noise from the door has turning. Seeing Elena and one of her men she points towards a door leading to the basement." Get one someone to help unload the car, Elena you should go rest upstairs in my room."
Elena nods and begins walking towards the stair she stops and waves at the little girl before continuing on her way up." Bye Gabriella."
"Lana Go." Gabriella smiles and waves goodbye to her new friend.
Chloe is about to comment when she sees Brady barreling through the door. She has no time to speak as she finds herself and Gabriella wrapped in Brady strong arms. The reality of the situations finally catches up to her and she absorbs the warmth that Brady brings with him.
Belle walks over to Greta and her mother who are watching the scene with tears in their eyes. "This is perfect, just the way it should be." She hugs her mother and sees the look of happiness on Gabriella's face. "You did a great job Mac." When she doesn't hear a response she looks to the spot where Mac was standing only to find it empty, she looks around the room. "Where's Mac?"
Salem University Hospital
Mac was really going to have a talk with Craig about security in the hospital. It had taken her no time at all to sneak into the laundry room to still some surgical scrubs, and even less time to sneak into the restricted area where the operating theatre was keep.
'To think that they did all this to keep people like me out, and here I am walking right in.' Mac laughed at the thought, and keep walking toward the doctor's lounge, slipping she faded into the shadows and waited for her prey. She smiles when she heard the door slam.
Peeking out she saw Colin Murphy stomping toward the TV in the corner and turning it on, he flipped through the channels until he found the news.
"Police still have no clues into the mysterious death of Alexandra DiMera, the last living heir to the DiMera Empire was found dead at home last night with a still unidentified man." " The police say that her body showed no sings of murder, but an autopsy will still need to be performed, while the unknown companion died of an apparent stab wound to the stomach." "Ms. DiMera is best know for her involvement in the baby switch scandal of 2002 at Salem University Hospital, and the later kidnapping of a local boy." "While on the business front, Lawyers are now searching for any relative to claim the fortune."
"Dammit, Shawn was right." Colin turns off the TV, and sit down on the couch with he head in his hands. "What are you gonna do now Colin?"
"I suggest, your job." Walking into the room Mac watches as Colin's face pales. "Don't give me a reason to kill you Colin."
"Mac." Colin smiles "I see the drug I gave you worked." He stood and tried not to look guilty, but he knew it wasn't working. When Mac had come to him and asked for a drug that helps someone fake a death, he had figured it was for her, and had given her a drug that would do the exact opposite, and obviously she knew it.
"No, but then you knew it wouldn't didn't you?" taking a step forward she stops leaving two feet of distance between her and the devious doctor. "What do you think I should do to someone who tried to kill me, Colin?"
"Mac, it isn't what you think…" Colin put his hands as if to block the blows he knows are coming. " I gave you the same drugs I gave Patrick all those years ago, just like I said I would."
"DON'T LIE." She flexed her hands, preparing to strike." You tried to kill me, at least be man enough to admit it." Mac moves closer. "You know, I usually let the first time a person tries to kill me go, I figure it based on my personality, but in your case I have to make an exception."
"Mac I swear…" He words are cut off as she quickly grabs his throat and begins to squeeze, and smiles as he starts grasping for breathe. "Mac…. please…"
"I'm going to let you live for another day, just long enough to save Patrick's life, but tomorrow you and I will talk." Mac releases his throat and walks out the door; not evening caring is she's seen. Ditching the scrubs along the way she stops when she reaches the waiting room and stops at the sight of Shawn.
She had always known that given the reason he would rise to his potential, and sure enough he did, wiping the smile from her face she walks in and stops right in front of his pacing form. "Alright Brady, what's new?"
Shawn looks up at the voice, and then faints dead away.
Mac bends over him, and sees Bo and John rush forward, and stop just a few inches away staring at her. "This is ridiculous, people come back form the dead everyday in this town, when I do it everybody starts fainting."
