Chapter 7

Jack woke up to the sight of Samantha sleeping in the chair next to his hospital bed. She looked so sweet sleeping he didn't want to wake her. He watched for a little while until he was interrupted by a voice at the door.

"You never looked at me that way." It was Marie. Jack had been hoping she wouldn't visit. Out of the corner of his eye he could she Samantha beginning to stir..

"Marie, listen-"

"No Jack! I'm fed up of listening." Now Samantha had woken up fully.

"Where were you Jack? Because you told me you were staying at the office all night and I know that someone didn't just walk on into FBI headquarters and kidnap the head of Missing Persons!" Samantha glanced over at Jack who turned away quickly. For some reason he couldn't look her in the eye.

"He was with me."

"Excuse me!" Marie was shocked. She hadn't thought Jack would dare be with her again. Not after he almost lost everything last time.

"He was with me."

"How dare you?! You're just a slut from the office-"

"Hey!" Marie was taken by surprise when Jack defended Samantha. She had expected him basically to be on his knees begging her to take him back!

"You're defending her?!"

"You have no right to call her that! You don't even know her!"

"I know some things about her. Like that she's had an affair with a married man, twice!" Samantha had been enjoying watching Jack defend her from Marie but after she came up with that she felt she had to in-put too.

"Yeah, well. Shows what a crap wife you are!"

"How dare you?! What did you think was gonna come of your little fling anyway. It's not like Jack would ever leave me for you!"

"Oh yeah?! Jack?"

"Don't do this." Marie flashed Samantha a smug smile. "Either of you!" Jack knew he was now going to have to make his decision. Marie or Sam? His Family or The Woman He Loved? He would get to see Hannah and Kate if he chose Sam but would he ever see Sam again if he chose Marie? Jack knew what his heart was telling him to do.

"So, Jack, who's it to be? That slut or me?"
