"Ed Deline" Ed answered his phone from his desk
"Hey Ed, can you do me a quick favor?" Danny asked quickly from the other end
"What kind of favor?"
"I need you to do a background check for me real quick"
"There any problems down there?" Ed asked looking at the monitors from his desk
"No, No, everything is good. It's just Sam's old friend from High School showed up tonight and..uh..." Danny trailed off
"And??" Ed urged
"And well.., look Ed we know nothing about Sam's mysterious past right? All we know is that she witnessed a murder and was on her own at seventeen.....oh and I heard the other day from Nessa that she was married, or technically still is married."
Ed wasn't surprised "Uh Huh"
"You knew that?, What am I thinking of course you knew?, Well anyway when I saw Sam and Jessie reunite today-" Danny was caught off
"Jessie?" Ed asked
"Oh ya, Jessie is Sam's high school friend"
"Oh right, go on" Ed exclaimed
"Well when Sam saw him she was really surprised... like "What the hell are you doing here?" surprised." Danny explained
"Whoa, so Sam doesn't want to see him or something??" Ed switched to protective mode
"No, not exactly." Danny hesitated
"What do you mean 'not exactly'? She either does or doesn't?"
"I guess she does, I mean he is staying with her in her hotel room.."
Ed rolled his eyes to himself and chuckled "On to the point, Danny"
"Fine, they haven't seen each other in thirteen years...thirteen...a lot of thing can happen in thirteen years." Danny said
"So you want me to do a background check on this Jessie, because you want to protect Sam or because your nosey?" Ed asked seriously.
After a couple seconds of silence Danny spoke up "Aren't you just maybe a little bit curious about her past?"
"No."
"No?"
"No, alright Danny the past is the past, you and I both know that" Ed brought up the background search file on his computer.
"Fine Ed, are you gonna do it or not?"
"Of course Im gonna do it, what are you crazy, the guy could be a druggie with a murder rep."
Danny smiled "Great, thanks Ed can you call me back with the results, we are all heading to a club."
"Yeah alright, listen Danny, be patient alright when Sam is ready to face her past she will. I don't want you to push her."
"First of all Ed, I don't think anyone can 'push' Sam to do anything. Second of all I don't think she has a choice anymore.." Danny was ready to hang up, when Ed stopped him
"Wait, before I do this background check I need something?"
Danny sighed deeply "What's that?"
Ed laughed "His last name would be nice."
"Oh, right"

Danny, Mary, Delinda, Mike, Nessa, Sam and Jessie all sat down at a table at Rain. The music was pounding and everyone had drinks in there hand. There was a awkward silence among them, as Delinda started conversation "So, Jessie, what do you do?"
Sam looked at Jessie curious to his answer as well as the others "Well," Jessie started "I graduated from BYU with Bachelors in Science, and I have a criminal justice degree. I work with the Salt Lake City Crime Forensics"
"Crime forensics. Wow, must be exciting." Delinda sipped her cosmopolitan
"Yeah, it is." Jessie made eye contact with Sam, she was obviously impressed and had a secret grin on her face and Jessie returned it.
Danny watched unimpressed. He mentally noted that Jessie is from Salt Lake and that maybe Sam is too?
He really wanted to know the secret they share. Jealousy rose as Jessie and Sam went to the dance floor.
"Hey, man what's your problem?" Mike interrupted his thoughts
"What? nothing'" Danny took a sip of his beer
"Really, cause it sure looks like something'"
Danny looked at Mary, Delinda and Nessa, who seem to find Jessie and Sam very interesting. After checking to make sure they weren't listening. "I told Ed to do a background check on him" he whispered loudly
"Who?" Mike asked
"Shh. lower your voice. Jessie." Danny whispered back
Mike nodded his head "Good Idea."
"Yeah, said he'll call with the results" Danny spoke, he turned to watch Sam and Jessie on the dance floor. They weren't really dancing just swaying with the music as they were laughing about something.
"Yep" Danny whispered to himself "We will finally know who the hell Jessie Walker is and how he connects with Sam."
