Jackie laid in her bed at her new home. She didn't tell Hyde about the little incident in the bathroom. She figured that he had enough on his mind and that he didn't need to be worrying about her all the time. He would be mad if he ever found out; but this was for his own good. Jackie hated when he worried about her too much. She didn't need five cops following her every move; she didn't even need one cop for that matter. She was more than capable of taking care of her own self. He just didn't seem to get that through his mind.

Lucas walked down the hallway slowly. He was afraid of what he was going to find at Sami's apartment. He hoped that she was alive and that she was just late to Shawn's going away party. That's all it had to be; just her being late. He didn't want his mother to be right about her being dead and all. He wondered if his mother could be the killer. After all, she did hate Sami with a passion; but then again, she was pretty close to both Carolina and Maggie. Who would want to kill Sami Brady? He thought. Once he asked himself that question he knew that it was dumb question to ask. Many people wanted Sami dead. She was a thorn in everyone's back. He even wanted her dead at one time. She somehow grew on him in time. She had become a true friend to him. They were no longer rude or mean to each other in front of their son. Lucas walked up to Sami's Front door to see that it was open with cops swarming around the place. She couldn't be dead or could she. He thought.



Steven Hyde walked around the whole perimeter of the apartment. It was apparent to him that this wasn't a break in at all. From what he knew of Sami Brady, she didn't have many people that could trust. So whoever attacked her had to be someone she could really trust. Who did she really trust though? He knew for a fact that she trusted her mother and father deeply; but that's all he knew. He heard someone yelling from Sami's bedroom and immediately came out to see who it was. It was the Lucas, the guy that lived across the hall from Sami Brady.

"Where is she?" Lucas asked.

"I'm sorry but you'll have to leave. This is now a crime scene." The officer said.

"Officer Johnson, I'll handle this." Hyde said.

"Listen your the new detective and your suppose to find the killer and protect everyone, so why are you not doing your job. Because of you Sami Brady is dead." Lucas said.

"Listen, I know you're upset and I'm sorry that this happened to you and your son but you can't go around point fingers." Hyde said.

"Well, do you have any clue as to who the killer is?" Lucas asked.

"No I don't." Hyde said.

"Well, do you think it could have been one of the suspects; like my mother or Nichole." Lucas asked.

"I can't say Lucas." Hyde said.

"Why not?" He asked.

"This case has already been tainted by Roman Brady and John Black giving valuable information out to citizens and their family members." Hyde said.

"Well they were just trying to help unlike you who's being such an ass right now." Lucas said.

"Officer Richards will you please keep watch of the door to this apartment and send away anyone who's not an officer of the law." Hyde said.

Officer Richards closed the door behind him and forced Lucas back to his apartment.

Kate was busy fixing her make-up on in the bathroom at the pub. The party had been over for at least a couple of hours. She was meeting a business associate for drinks. She finished reapplying gloss to her lips when she heard an echo in the bathroom call out her name. She turned around but saw no one. She went back to doing her make-up when she heard the voice again. This time it said I'm coming for you. The voice made her jump and she ran out of the bathroom.

Mimi was sitting at the bar when she saw Kate rush out of the bathroom. She had a look of horror on her face.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Um...nothing." Kate said before running out to her car.



She had no clue who it was that was calling her name. Maybe my ears are playing tricks on me. She thought to herself. Maybe someone is playing a trick on me; was her other thought. Whatever it was she had to get over to Luca's and tell him what had happened. As she was pulling out of the parking lot she saw a woman walk up to the passenger's side of her car. She had long reddish blonde hair and blue eyes. She waved to Kate and Kate waved back. She kneeled down and Kate couldn't see what she was doing but she could hear what she was doing. She felt her tire on the one side go completely flat. Before she was able to lock the doors, the girl jumped into the car. Kate reached for her door and just as she was about to open it, the woman stabbed her three times in the back before slicing her throat. As Kate slowly fell unconscious she could hear the woman's voice.

"I told you I was coming for you. Maybe next time you'll believe what people tell you. I doubt it though since you'll be dead." She said.

The woman took her hands and covered Kate's nose and mouth. She began to suffocate Kate.

"Get away from her." Jackie yelled.

The killer turned smiled and turned around but her smile soon faded when she saw Jackie with a gun.

"What are you going to do kill me?" The killer asked.

"Yes I am." Jackie said.

"Well, I think you have a little dilema here. You could waste your time killing me or you could try and save Ms. Roberts. Which is it?" The killer said.

"Both." Jackie said then fired the gun.

The killer lay on the ground in a pool of blood. Jackie reached for her cell phone and dialed 911.



Hyde was at Sami when he received the call from the emergency operator about a shooting at the Brady Pub. He was glad that Jackie was safe at home with Zack. He then received another call; this time from one of the five officers who were guarding Jackie. She had managed to escape from their sight. Hyde couldn't believe that Jackie was able to escape from five officers. One maybe but not five. Maybe that is why the Salem P.D were not able to catch the killer. Hyde knew that Jackie was at the Brady Pub; he just hoped that she was okay. He got into the car and rushed over to the next crime scene. He found Jackie there shaken with a gun in her hand and a woman on the ground dead. Kate was rushed to the hospital and the police were now apprehending Jackie. Hyde got out of the car and went right over to the scene. He then turned to Jackie and saw the police put the handcuffs on her.

"Wait, a minute what are you doing?" Hyde said.

"She killed a woman." The cop said.

"Jackie what happened?" Hyde said.

"She was attacking Ms. Roberts;" Jackie said.

"She said she felt that something was wrong but we believe that she stabbed Mrs. Roberts and then killer her business associate." The cop said.

"Do you have any proof of these accusations?" Hyde asked.

"No we don't but the D.A said to arrest her for the murder." The cop said.

"Where is the D.A right now?" Hyde asked.

"I'm right here." The woman replied.

"You can't arrest someone without out any proof." Hyde said.

"I just did. You can ask all the questions you want down at the station house." The D.A said then forced Jackie into the car.

The killer looked on from afar with a smile on her face. Her plan was working out better then she had ever expected; Jackie Burkhart was now a step closer to being hers.
