Julian Crane packed furiously, knowing that that she would wake up and reveal him. How he could so stupid he, the televisions were calling him a hero, but even as evil as Alistair made him he couldn't just stand there and watch her die. He hadn't even known he was that a strong a swimmer, but somehow he had made there and back with her.
Remembering the second that he saw her face, he stopped and just stared at nothing, she had looked so scared and yet brave enough to survive, he had immediately thought of his own daughters when he saw her half dead body laying in the water, then when he got closer to her he saw Sheridan, and wondered if that what his sister looked like in her last moments, but he shook the thought away." You killed her, she's dead, move on."
Even as he said he knew he was wrong, he had killed his baby sister the childe that his mother had begged him to protect. He let Alistair control him, and then after all his service, his father left him there to be killed by his enemies. "But I made it anyway, didn't I you evil old bastard." Julian's face broke into a grin at the thought; he executioner had been as spineless as people called him, because they didn't even wait to see him fall to his death.
It was at that point that his years of wild sexual liaisons came in handy, being suspending over a large vat of boiling water with one hand keeping you up, was a lot like a game one of his mistresses used to play, he couldn't seem to recall the name of the game or the mistresses, but it didn't matter, that was Julian Crane's life and he was Ben Masters now. Ben Masters had money but no family, in his opinion that was the only way to go through life; family just held you back and forced to focus on others.
His man serve=ant Vincent walked in and moved to take the luggage, but the man was over seventy and couldn't seem to lift anything, without thinking Julian helped him to the bed, and took his own bags downstairs, it wasn't until he was sitting in the driver's seat of his car that he realized what he did." My god I've become my own man servant." "Damn, good deeds seem to be contiguous." He hit his steering wheel with the palm of his hand before starting his car and taking off down the road.

"Kay did you just say Julian Crane?" Grace went over to her daughter and laid her hand on her forehead, checking for a fever. "He's dead sweetie, Rebecca Hotchkiss killed him."
"I know or at least I think I know." Se continues her pacing and runs a hand through her hair, and remembers she needs a comb. " But I opened my eyes, and it was him or at least it looked liked him, this guy had a goatee, but it was Julian, I'm sure of it." She collapses on the bench and begins to tear up. "I'm losing my mind, it figures the happiness night of my life would become the worst day in my memory."
Grace sits back down by her, and takes her in her arms, she hadn't been able to comfort Kay since she was a baby, and as terrible as the reason was she basked in the moment. "Kay, I know this is hard right now, but Brian's going to be okay."
" I know things have a tendency to work out for you Mom, but for me right I get what I want is right when I get the shaft." A strange feeling formed in the pit of her stomach, and not bothering to wait for her mother Kay took off running back toward Brain's room.
She was gone, one minute she was telling him to wake up the next minute she was gone.
Then he was back on the boat, back in the middle of that hurricane. He was walking down below when the mass hit him, he saw it coming and couldn't move out of the way. He saw himself flying backwards over the edge of the boat and into the dark waters, and he couldn't make himself swim back to the boat.
He heard her calling to him, it was faint, but he knew her voice anywhere calling. "Briannnnnnnn………" "Briannnnnnnnn………………………" "Brian help me."
"Kay, I'm coming baby hold on." He tried to force himself to move but he couldn't, he saw those children in his mind's eye begging him to save their mother and yet he still couldn't move. "Chica wait for me, I'm coming." Using all his strength he started to swim back to the boat when another literally lifted the boat and split it into several pieces. "Kay." "KAY."
Luis watched in horror as his brother began struggling and screaming in his sleep. "Sheridan get help." he grabbed Brain and tried to stop him, afraid he'd hurt himself further, while his mother called for him trying to wake him.
"Antonio, mi hijo wake up."
Doc ran in and began checking his vitals and then his eyes, and visibly relaxed. "It's okay he's just having a nightmare."
Brain continued to struggle at Luis hands." Antonio wake up."
"KAY."
"What the hell is going on?" Sam raced into the room and paled when he saw Brain fighting against Luis still unconscious.
He was still being held back, no longer in the water but on the beach, he could see Kay off in the distance as if she was waiting for him, but a hooded man keep him from her. The more he struggled the stronger the hooded man became. "KAY."
That man just laughed. "You can't keep her, she was never yours in the first place."
Sam joined Luis in the battle to hold Brian down, he was movements had become so that the IV in his arm was becoming lose." Doctor can't you wake him?"
Julian stepped out of his car and looked around, he was suppose to be headed for the airport, but St. Lisa's Hospital was in the opposite direction, and the sudden reason for him being there hit him. " It's nothing, you just want to make sure that the girl live, you'll see that she's alive, and then you're gone."
He walked into the hospital and went for the reception desk but found it empty, a small sign requested that patrons see the second floor nurse. He took the stairs not wanting to be bother people on the elevators, and had just step out onto the second floor hallway when he was attack at full speed by a small object wearing a hospital gown. He steadied his attacker and gasped when he realized who it was, as did she.
"I knew it was you."
"Excuse miss, do I know you." The look was one of surprise and confusion, but the he knew the game was up when her eyes narrowed.
"Yes, you do, Kay Bennet"
"Well obviously I can't fool you."
"You didn't seem to try hard."
"And now your Alistair, anyway I merely came to ensure your safety." He remembered now that he had actually liked Kay Bennet, she hadn't seemed as phony as the rest of her family.
"Really or to ensure my silence."
"The first, but I'll take the second."
Kay looked at him, and noticed something different about him besides the goatee, he didn't seem to be Julian Crane, and yet he was. She couldn't imagine Julian jumping in a hurricane to save her but he did, and it was when she looked into his eyes that she realized what was different. The first time she met Julian at Sheridan and Luis's engagement party he had cold and unfeeling eyes, as if the world could end and he wouldn't have cared, but now his eyes clearly showed feeling. Right now he was sacred and apprehensive, and when he saved her she had seen guilt and regret. She could understand the fear after all most of the town had wanted him dead, and someone had very nearly succeeded. "Fine, I didn't see you, and I still don't." The feeling in her stomach intensified and she nodded goodbye before continue back to Brain's room.
Julian steps back into the stairway just in time to miss Grace who had gotten lost tying to keep pace with her daughter.
When Kay reached Brian's room she saw Sam and Luis trying to hold him back, while Sheridan tried to comfort a distraught Pilar, and Doc tried to wake up his patient. She walked directly to the bed and pushed her father out of the way and smoothing back his hair. " It's time to wake up Brian."
He was free, the hooded man disappeared, and he was free to walk towards her. He opened his eyes and there she was his Kay, "Kay."
He gave a weak smile not noticing the other people in the room.
" Hey Handsome."
