Finally Ch.10
I disclaim
*** Good news, my Office 2000 is back, and I just finished my Passions Krian Fic, so I'm now down to two fics, and I will be putting all my creative juices into finishing both.

Chloe watched Gabriella play on the jungle gym with a bittersweet smile. Mac had loved to play with Gabriella on the jungle gym; she had said it was her best work out. Her daughter obviously remembered because she wasn't playing like it was mandatory they was no smile only sadness in her blue eyes.
" She's the smallest victim in all of this." Philip sat down beside her, watched the small child, and smiled. The little girl was Chloe's miniature replica, and it was her only saving grace, Philip didn't want to have to think of what he would have had to do if the child looked like Brady. " How are you Chloe?"
" I'm okay or as okay as I can be." Kristen and her lawyers had started an inquest into Machiavelli DiMera and Mackenzie Red Wolf trying to prove that she is legally a DiMera. Lucas was waging two battles, he was fighting to get Austin freed form jail, while simultaneously taking on the federal government on Mac's behalf. While Mac's condition was changing, they were now on day five of her coma, and while her injuries were healing, the real damage was undetectable until she regained consciousness. " What are you doing here Philip?"
Philip pointed to the sand box where his son Victor played with his nanny. " Victor likes to play in the sand box."
Chloe nodded, she hadn't ever seen Philip's son, but she had heard about him, the small boy was blonde and blue eyed, and looked exactly like his mother. " How are things going for you and Sami?"
Philip drops his head and looks away. " Chloe can I talk to you." " I mean really talk to you, I wouldn't bother you with my problems, but you're one of the only people that ever seen anything in me besides a screw up." Chloe looked at Philip then at Gabriella spot on the jungle gym, Philip caught the look. " I can have Beatrice watch them her, maybe she and Victor can be friends, after all they family."
" Yeah." She nodded, and watched him signal the nanny over to the jungle gym with the little boy; Gabriella gave a small smile and began helping the smaller boy climb to the top. " What's wrong Philip?"
" Sami doesn't love me, never did really, I was just a substitute for Austin." Tears glistened in his blue eyes, as took a deep breathe and tried to continue. " She doesn't want to work things out, she just wants to stay and spent my money, and she hasn't been by to seen Victor in days." " The only time I see her when I go down to the jail to check on Austin." He ran a hand through his hair. " I don't know why I'm such an idiot, everyone told me that she was just using me, but I though I saw something in Sami and vice versa, God I dunno."
" Don't fall for this crap Chloe." Mac watched the man in disgust, she hadn't never like the annoying little boy-man, and this little stunt was winning her over. She had been following her loved ones for the last two days around looking for reasons to stay, and she had to admit this was really a good one. " Philip if I was real, I kicked your pansy a#$. " Mac moved to stand next the blonde man on the bench and began cracking her knuckles as though any minute she would.
" Even I must admit that Kiriakis is a large waste of space." Stefano watched the man break down in tears. " I swear if there was ever a lined I should have wiped out, it should have been this one."" A stupid person with money is just as dangerous, as a crazy person with a gun."
" Do me a favor and don't agree with me, it destroy my creditability." Mac snapped her fingers and her grandfather disappeared as quickly as he had come.
" Philip, I'm so sorry." She did feel for him, she had heard some of Lucas's horror stories about his ex-lover, and for a while she thought Philip was getting exactly what he deserved but maybe Philip had learned his lesson." While at least you have a beautiful son."
A genuine smile crossed his face" Yeah, Victor's great." A far off look enters his eye. "I would do anything to give him the kind of life he deserves."

Kristen hung up her phone happy with the results of her phone call. She was sure that Philip Kiriakis was not the man to be trusted and her call proved it.
On the surface everything seemed straight forward with the FCC, they had received a tip that Machiavelli had used her brief family reconciliation's to steal information that in turn funded Red Wolf Industries, but underneath is where it got ugly.
A good investigator would find that the agents that started the inquest into Red Wolf Industries, and that applied to have her accounts frozen, where all people that had a strong tie to Victor Kiriakis. Also that the Greek business man had seen said agents two days before, and would be well aware of 'Mackenzie' and Victor's on going feud.
A great investigator would find that while he agents did have ties to Victor, they were also once distantly employed by Stefano DiMera, and thus linked to Kristen, they would take into account the bad blood between the Kiriakis, DiMera's and Red Wolfs' and conclude that it was in fact a double set up. Kristen set up Machiavelli for insider trading, while also setting up Victor for the previous set up. It was all quite confusing and at the same time quite brilliant.
Unfortunately for Philip it wasn't brilliant enough, she was sure that at this very moment John Black had people looking into things and discovering the trail that lead back to her, but she didn't mind. This little stunt of his was just want she needed to convince of her what she knew deep down, that would Kiriakis have to be disposed of.
Kristen picked up the phone and called a familiar number." Hello, it's me Kristen." She laughed at." Yes it has been a look time" I need some one watched." " Philip Kiriakis." " Don't worry I remember everything." " Thank you, I see you then."

" Hey Shawn." Belle stopped in her tracks at the scene Shawn packing a duffel bag, and looking determined, it was like all those yeas ago.
"Belle, this isn't what it looks like."
" Really you're not about to leave for parts unknown."
Shawn dropped the sweater and sank onto the bed. "Okay it is what it looks like, but this is different, I'm not dealing with a DiMera just my Grandfather, and besides I the only one that can do this." " I'm checking out this Kristen DiMera, and the places I have to go, I have connections, friendships this people trust me and only me." The blonde seemed unmoving, and he got desperate." Belle please.
"Shawn shut up." " I know that you have to go, I don't like it, but I know that you have to help Mac. " She leaned on her tiptoes and kissed him. " Be safe, and I'll see you when you get back."
"I love you Perfect Girl." Shawn grabbed the duffel and gave a final smile before he left the apartment.
~~ Coming Soon: Well Philip tried to double cross Kristen, and now Kristen is double crossing Philip, with all that back stabbing someone is bound to slip up, and with Jason, Shawn, and Brady on the job they're bound to get caught, but who will slip up first.
