PART 11: Cassie
.
It was reaching the end of the first week after their return and Carter was going to be allowed to go off-base. To go home.
Cassandra had visited every day since being told of Sam's return. Cassie and Charlie had hit it off… Cassie was good with younger kids. Jack had made sure that Cassie knew not to mention anything regarding the baby.
Cassie had also spent a lot of hours cleaning and getting Sam's house back to some of how it looked before Carter had disappeared. As the months had passed, Cassie had taken over more and more of the house with her own stuff… and her own style of… clutter… of which Sam's house had not had much of before.
It had actually taken Cassie more than seven months to get the courage to stay in Sam's house alone. Her mom's (Janet's) house had been sold after her Janet had died and Cassie had moved in with Sam. When Sam went MIA, her possessions went into Jack's custodialship for Cassie.
But she couldn't bear to stay there during the first few months after Sam had disappeared. Cassie was a young adult and was starting college soon, but losing both Janet and Sam had left the young girl scared and vulnerable. So, she'd stayed in one of Jack's spare rooms. And then one day, after more than seven months, she'd come and announced that she was ready to move back. Into Sam's house. Jack stayed over the first few nights so that she wouldn't be too haunted by Sam's absence.
He'd taken care of Sam's house. Jack had simply set things up with some attorneys and told them to take care of everything. Gardeners. A maid that came for 4-hours every two weeks. Money and such things as the house payments had turned out to be no problem… it turned out that Sam had plenty of money stashed away. Some patent on some doohickey or some such as it was explained to Jack.
