Chapter 16 -I'll Get Even (rewritten (in parts)).
Kai and Sam were walking along the beach, silently enjoying each other's company.
"Kai, you know it's Ben and Kate's birthday soon." Sam says breaking the silence they held.
Kai gave a nod.
"They'll be eleven this year." Sam sighed happily "They grow up so fast don't they."
"I wouldn't know." Kai said sadly.
"Oh… yea… s-sorry Kai."
"Don't worry about it." He says kissing the side of her head.
But Sam and Kai were being watched for you see Adam had decided to take a walk before putting his plan into action. When he saw the person of his affections walking down the street with Kai of all people, he decided to follow them and see what they were up to. So far he'd managed to remain calm and keep his distance from them but when he saw Kai kiss Sam he lost it and ran over to her his anger fuming.
"How could you! How could you let him do that to you!" Adam raves at Sam.
Sam was so amazed to actually see Adam that she didn't know what to say but Kai did.
"What the hell do you want?" he says stepping in front of Sam.
Adam glared at Kai who glared right back.
"You…" he said with pure hate "You're the reason she left, the reason she never came back."
"The way you treat her I'm not surprised she left!"
Adam growls at Kai.
"You just wait it may seem like fun now but soon she'll get bored with you and disappear just like she did with me."
There was a brief look of realisation on Kai's face as he remembered how Sam 'disappeared' back in London. /-Adam and Sam use to date? When? Could that be the reason she left? Because she was bored? Wait… what the hell am I listening to him for!-/ Kai came out of his thoughts when he heard Sam say.
"The only reason I broke up with you Adam is because I didn't think we were getting anywhere." She explains finally coming out of her shock.
"Then why'd you leave?" his anger still clearly visible but he had calm down little when Sam spoke.
Sam sighed.
"Two days after we spilt I had a visit from Mr. Dickenson of the BBA. He offered me a job you could say but if I was to accept I'd have to leave straight away
with no time for good byes."
"You expect me to believe that!" Adam said raising his voice.
"I don't care what you think." Kai cut in "But if ever bother Sam again I'll make sure you live to regret it."
"Is that a threat?" Adam hissed.
"You bet it is. Now get lost."
"Fine! I'll go but mark my words Sam. I'll get even with you if it's the last thing I ever do!" he said before running off.
Sam sighed down heartedly.
"You okay?" Kai asks worriedly turning to face her to see she was facing the ocean.
She nods but Kai can see that she wasn't, he gently turns her towards him and sees tears roll down her cheeks.
"Hey don't let him get you down. That's just what he wants." Wiping her tears away.
Sam just nods again and Kai pulls her into a hug.

Tyson's place -
"So do you think they've figured it out yet?" Max asks.
"I doubt it knowing Tyson he won't know until someone tells him." Ray states "We need someone to go and see what they're up to."
Max nods then it was as if they both got the same idea and both looked at Kenny.
He looked up from his laptop when he felt two pairs of eyes on him.
"What?" he asks innocently.
"Hey Chief, how would like to do a little 'spying' " Max says mischievously.
"Huh?"
"All you have to do is go and check on Tyson." Ray explains.
"Oh no! I'm not getting involved in that." Kenny says.
"And people say your no fun." Dizzi says sarcastically.
"Just say that you want to check how Dragoon is or something." Max says trying to convince him.
"Do you two know what would happen if Tyson knew the real reason I was there." Kenny moans.
"We've… got a pretty good idea." Ray says slyly giving Max a quick look before looking back at Kenny.
Max chuckled and gave a nod.
"Why don't one of you go?" Kenny asks trying to ease the pressure off himself.
"He's already a little suspicious of us because of yesterday." Max informed.
"What about Kate and Ben?" Kenny says suddenly realising he was running out options.
Ray shook his head.
"They'd give it away too easily."
Kenny looked between Max and Ray. Max had his puppy dog expression on his face.
Kenny sighed.
"Oh okay." He gave in.
"Great thanks Chief."
"Don't thank me just yet, Ray." He says walking out.
"Tyson's so gonna pulverise him." Max said with a chuckle.
Ray smiles and nods.
"Hey where's the Chief going?" Sam asked as she and Kai walk in.
"Let's just say he's doing us a little favour." Ray answered.
Sam saw a mischievous glint in Ray's eyes.
"Ray, what are you up to?" she asks curiously.
"Up to? I don't know what you're talking about Sam." he replies trying hard not smile.
"Ray, we've know each other too long to know when the other is lying." She said walking towards him as he walked back.
Max started to laugh a little at Ray's predicament, that was until he looked at Kai. He thought it would be best if he made a quick exit before Kai asked him what was going on. He made a dash for the door but before he got there someone grabbed his arm; he looked at the person and saw it to be Kai. Max gave a small nervous laugh then gulped.
/-I'm dead.-/ he thought. He then heard someone laughing in his head. /-It's not funny Draciel!-/
#Oh but it is Max.# Draciel replied.
By now Sam had cornered Ray and had him pinned against the back wall.
/-She's so gonna kill me if I don't tell her.-/ he thought remembering a similar situation where something like this had happened.
#Then tell her.# Driger advised.
/-Are you kidding? And have her yell at me for 'interfering' with Tyson and Kathryn? No thanks Driger.-/
"This remind you of anything?" she asked a tad jokingly.
"The… time Max threw me Moonstar?" he answers a tad nervously.
"Precisely." She smiled then took a quick glance at Kai. "Only this time Kai won't save you." She says almost whispering.
Ray gulped.
"Hey guys, what's going on?" a voice asks.
/-Thank you Tyson!-/ Ray thinks in relief.
#Bet you thought you'd never be glad to hear Tyson's voice.# Driger teased.
Tyson, Kathryn and Kenny entered the room and were quite confused at what they saw. Kai was holding Max by his arm preventing him from leaving and Sam had Ray pinned against the wall.
"Nothing Tyson." Sam replies walking away from Ray.
At the same time Kai released Max.
"So have you two worked it out yet?" Sam asks.
Both Ray and Max were surprised that Sam had just asked that. Tyson held up his hand in which he held Kathryn's who blushed a little.
"Good."
"It took you two long enough." Max commented.
"That reminds me I wanna talk to you two." Tyson says looking at both Ray and Max.
They both looked confused as Ray walked up beside Max.
"Kenny told us everything." Kathryn explains. "With a little persuasion from Tyson."
Ray and Max now look completely horrified and ran out the door with Tyson hot on their heels saying 'you two can't escape me.'
"They'd better." Kenny says to which everyone laughs.
After a watching Max and Ray trying to 'escape' from Tyson for a while, Sam and Kathryn decided to sit down and 'catch up' as well as talk about old times. Kenny left to go home saying he needed get something. Kai stood looking out the window wondering what Adam meant when he said to Sam 'I'll get even with you.' He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice a distraught Ben run in.
"Mum, I need you to come with me." Ben said while trying to catch his breath.
"Why, what's wrong?" Sam asked noting the urgency in her son's voice.
"It's Kate."
Ben didn't need to say anything more, as Sam was up in a shot and heading towards the door.
"Is she hurt?" Kathryn asked but Sam and Ben were already gone. /-I don't like the look this .-/ Kathryn thought. /-I have a feeling that Adam's behind it.-/
#I think you might be right.# Twilight agreed #You have to let the others know. She could be in danger.#
Kathryn went out into the garden to find everyone. "Where are they?" she says to herself. "TYSON, MAX, RAY." She shouts out.
"What's up Kath?" Tyson says from behind her.
"I think Sam may need our help."
"Why?" Max asks.
"What's wrong?" Ray adds.
Kathryn tells them of what Ben said and how she though Adam was somehow behind it all.
"I don't think Adam would do that." Max said dismissing her doubts.
"You don't know Adam like I do. He's liable to do anything."
"I agree." Tyson said remembering the bruises Kathryn had shown him and Sam.
"You would." Ray mumbled. "Look I don't think Sam's in any real danger. Those two are probably just playing a little joke on her."
Kathryn shook her head, they were wasting time standing and arguing about it. She just knew she was right everything in her being told her she was right and that was something she couldn't ignore. She ran out of the garden and went in the direction she last saw them go.
"Now look what you did." Tyson said. "Kathryn's right you know, Adam's crazy enough to do just about anything! He even beat her up because he found out she spoke to Max and I!"
Ray and Max looked at each other.
"Beat her up?" they say in unison.
"Forget it, you guys are hopeless." He says walking off to find Kathryn "and they say I'm the dumb one."
"Perhaps Tyson has a point." Max says thinking about it.
"Ray nodded and they both went after Tyson.

"So where's Kate?" Sam asks as they reach their destination.
"Right here." A voice said making Sam freeze at the sound of it.
Slowly she turned round and someone who she was hoping she'd never see again.
"Adam." her voice was just above a whisper.
He was standing in front of her with Kate in front of him holding her by her arm so she couldn't run off.
"Your daughter's good company Sam." He said with a devilish grin.
"Grrr…Adam if you've done anything to her." Sam threatens.
Seeing that Adam was preoccupied with his mother Ben slipped away to get the others
"I'm shocked you'd think I'd do something like that."
Sam just growled. "What is it you want Adam?"
Adam smiled. "You."
