Chapter 11 Step One

Later that night Adam walked into Kellie's apartment to find her curled up on the couch asleep. He smiled down at her and lightly shook her awake. She opened her eyes and looked at Adam and smiled at him.

"Hey." She said and yawned before standing up and looking at him.

"Hi." He replied and looked at her, wanting to kiss her to touch her to claim her as his. He shook those out of his head as she walked to her kitchen. He followed after her and leaned against the wall.

"When did you get in?" Kellie asked taking a drink of soda.

"Just now." Adam said and watched as she walked over to his direction. "So what's on the agenda for tonight?" He asked.

"I thought we would watch a movie and just relax." Kellie said and led Adam into the living room to sit down on the couch.

Adam shook his head. "What movie we watching?" He asked.

"Uh... Jeepers Creepers." She said looking down at the movie in her hands before she put it in and plopped back down on the sofa and snuggled against Adam's side to watch the movie.

"It's a horror movie?" Adam raised an eyebrow at her.

"Yea." She said and shrugged.

Adam smirked. "I see. Using that as an excuse to get closer to me." He teased her.

"Oh yea that's it." Kellie rolled her eyes and chuckled at Adam slightly. "Your on crack Adam." She said and snuggled closer to him.

(Midday the next day)

"So you and Kellie got hooked up?" Jack asked as him and Adam worked together.

Adam nodded his head. "Yea yesterday." He replied.

"Always knew you two would get hooked up together." Jack said. "She's sweet, she's good for you." He said and only got a nod from Adam.

"Yeah, she's different now." Adam said. "What about you and Serena? How's things with her going?" Adam asked.

Jack smiled. "Her sister's leaving tomorrow and taking her kids with her. That means me and Serena get alone time at her place." He said. Adam chuckled at that and the two men continued to work until sun down.

(Somewhere between Minnesota and Seattle)

Syl looked out the window as the scenery flew past her window as Krit and her continued westward to Seattle. They knew Jondy would reach Seattle first considering she lived a little closer then they did. Syl sighed and looked over at Krit.

She smiled as she looked at him. Krit felt her gaze on him and looked over at her and raised an eyebrow. "What?" He asked her.

She just continued to smile at him. "Come on Syl do I have something on my face?" He asked.

"Can't I just be looking at you to be looking at you?" She asked.

Krit smiled at her. "Yea and Jondy is a hyperactive nut case." Krit teased.

"Really and all this time I thought she was." Syl teased back. She giggled and looked back out her window. "How much longer until we get there?" Syl whined. "I'm bored."

Krit rolled his eyes. "Now your sounding like Jondy." He chuckled. "Just don't start to go crazy and we'll be ok." He teased.

Syl got closer to him and breathed against his neck. "But I thought you liked it when I got crazy." She whispered, her warm breath brushing his against him and making him swallow hard. She giggled and drew away from him a little .

"You've been around Jondy to much." He said and smiled at her. She grinned at him and began to play with his hair.

"Seriously how long until we get to Seattle?" She asked.

"I dunno, day or two maybe." He said. She frowned. Krit looked at her and smirked. "You want me to pick up the speed don't you?" He asked and got a grin from her before speeding up.

(Montana two days later)

Adam and Kellie walked into Adam's living corridors after finishing dinner with Buddy, Mary, and Jack. Mary had insisted on seeing Kellie again and had fused like a mother hen when she found out what had happened to her. Now Kellie sat in a chair in Adam's room while Adam cleaned up a bit.

"You know you don't have to clean up. It's not like I care what state your room is in." Kellie said with a slight laugh.

Adam shrugged. "Planning on doing it sooner or later. Might as well be now." He replied.

Kellie smirked at Adam, stood up, and walked over to him. She touched his arm to stop him from finishing his task. Adam looked down at her and she smiled. "All you do all day is work, work, work you need a break." She said. "You need to have fun, live a little." She said and watched as Adam's eyes misted over.

~A young black haired man rolled his eyes as he walked into his kitchen and another man followed behind. As he fished around his kitchen for things to make a sandwich out of as he listened to the other man's lecture he was giving out about his new girlfriend.

"She's a liability to you just like the last one was. That one almost got you caught! What's it going to be this time?" The man asked his blonde hair falling into his eyes.

The black haired man turned and looked at the man. "I really like her, I'm not just going to drop her." The black haired man said.

The blonde man rolled his eyes. "Just like the last one and the one before that one." He said angrily.

"Man Jon's right, your to stiff." The other man bit back.

Before the blonde guy could answer back the black haired man was speaking again. "As your brother man I'm giving you advice. Go have fun, live a little man. Don't push yourself so hard."~

Adam blinked out of his flashback and looked down at Kellie whose eyebrow was raised, worry was etched in her face, but he could also tell she was expecting him to tell her something. He sighed and moved away from her.

"Another flashback?" Kellie asked. Every since they had became an item Adam had told her all about the flashback he had been having.

Adam only nodded his head. "What was it?" Kellie asked.

Adam sighed. "Two men, a blonde and a black haired man were fighting about something. The black haired man was telling the blonde to go have fun and live a little." Adam mumbled. "That's all I can remember, and their faces were fuzzy like all the others." He mumbled.

Kellie sat quietly for a moment. She bit her lip and stared at Adam for a moment. "Have you ever thought that the blonde was you? I mean think about it, you're a blonde and all of your flashbacks so far have had the blonde in them. And you're the one remembering this, so..." Kellie trailed off.

Adam looked at her. "Yeah, but the black haired man and blonde were brothers." Adam said.

"Your point?" Kellie asked him.

"I don't have any siblings."

Kellie rolled her eyes. "You don't THINK you do. Adam you have amnesia ok, you don't remember anything from your previous life before you woke up in that hospital in Seattle, and Buddy rolled you out and brought you back to Montana. For all you know Adam you could have TONS of siblings out there, hell you might even have children and a wife." Kellie said and immediately made a face at that thought. "Forget the wife and children part." Kellie said.

"Yea but if I did wouldn't they have come looking for me?" Adam asked.

Kellie looked at him and sighed. "Not if they thought you were dead, or someone gave them false information, or they didn't know where you were. Fuck Adam, your name might not even be Adam. For all you know it could be George." She said. "But I hope to god it isn't." She added.

"Yea I get your point. But why would Buddy lie to me then?" He asked.

Kellie looked at him and thought about it for a moment. Suddenly her eyes brightened. "I smell a conspiracy going on here." She said.

"Where do you come up with this stuff?" Adam said and half smiled at his girlfriend.

"No seriously, think about it Adam. You supposedly get into an accident, wake up to find you have no recollection of who you are or what had happened to you, then a stranger comes in and tells you you've worked on this ranch with him for three years, but you still have no memories of it. And now your having flashbacks of your previous life, but it doesn't include this ranch, Buddy, Mary, or anything that has to do with Montana. Now you add all those things up and what do get?" Kellie asked taking a moment to breath. When Adam didn't speak she continued. "You get conspiracy." She said.

Adam ran a hand through his hair and shook his hair. "It just seems to farfetched." He said.

Kellie rolled her eyes. "No it doesn't Adam. I mean come on, think about it." Kellie said. "How do you even know that there was even a real accident?" Kellie argued.

"What are you saying?" Adam asked.

Kellie rolled her eyes. "That maybe there wasn't an accident and someone MADE you lose your memory on purpose. That maybe, just maybe someone wanted to put you in this position for their own purpose." Kellie said.

"I dunno Kellie." Adam shook his head. "I mean these flashbacks could be before I even came to the ranch."

Kellie stepped closer to him. "Don't you want to know the truth Adam?" She asked.

Adam looked at her. "Truth about what."

Kellie rolled her eyes. "About you, your past, your family." Kellie said.

"What if I find out the truth, but don't want it when I find it out?" Adam asked a bit unsure.

Kellie sighed and smiled softly. "You live with it I guess. Or either you run from it." Kellie said. Adam sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Adam you may have people out there who need you." Kellie said softly.

Adam looked down at her. He brushed a piece of hair out of her eyes. "But where do we start?" He asked.

Kellie made a face at him. "My brother has a friend who's a cop near Seattle. I'll try and get him to find out everything about the accident, or if there was even an accident. That's the first step." Kellie said.

"And the second?" Adam asked.

"Hey give a girl time. I'm sorta making it up as we go along." Kellie said. Adam chuckled and bent down to kiss her. Kellie immediately started to kiss him back.

"Your amazing." He said.

"Wow, we've only been dating for like two days and were already to compliments, that's progress." Kellie said sarcastically and giggled afterwards.

"Your on crack Kellie." Adam said and watched as she giggled again, before stopping and looking at him.

"Thank you very much, that's my line." Kellie said and giggled again. Adam rolled his eyes at her, but couldn't help but smile.

(Seattle Washington)

Jondy and Zane sat in their hotel room eating. Jondy was losing patience in waiting for her other two siblings to get there, so they could start to look for Max and get some answers. Jondy sighed and looked at Zane. Zane looked at her and raised an eyebrow at Jondy.

"What is it Jondy?" Zane asked.

She sighed. "Why aren't Syl and Krit here yet?" She whined.

"Because they live further away so it's going to take them longer to get here. Don't worry they should be here by tomorrow." Zane said.

"But I want them here now." She pouted.

Zane rolled his eyes, but didn't say anything to her. "And how will they know where to find us?" Jondy asked. Zane shrugged.

"Call them and tell them." He answered as he finished eating. He looked at Jondy who eyes were twinkling as she raced to the phone to call Syl and Krit. He watched as she bobbed her head and waited for Syl or Krit to pick up.

"Syl?" Jondy asked.

"Yea, hey Jondy." Her sister Syl said through the phone.

"How much longer until you get here?" Jondy whined.

"I dunno, tomorrow maybe." Syl said. "Where are you staying anyways?" She asked.

"Uh.... A hotel." Jondy said.

She knew Syl was rolling her eyes about now as she asked, "What hotel Jondy?"

"Oh we're staying at a old Holiday Inn hotel." Jondy answered happily.

Syl was quit for a moment. "We?"

"Yup." Jondy answered.

"Jondy who exactly is there with you?" Syl asked

"Zane." Jondy answered nonchalantly.

"Zane is with you?" Syl asked.

"Yup."

"Really? Cool." Syl said excitedly. "At least now I won't feel so worried about leaving Seattle alone with you in the city." She said and grinned through the phone.

Jondy's mouth dropped open and gasped, getting a look from Zane. "And I thought you trust me." She said and Zane burst out laughing.

"Trust you alone in Seattle?" Syl asked and then laughed. "Yea right." She said and laughed.

"Well fine then I guess I'll just leave and talk to you when ever you get here." Jondy said.

Syl laughed. "Oh come on Jondy you know I'm just teasing."

"SO you do trust me?"

"Of course... Just not in Seattle." Syl said and giggled.

"Well then uh... I'll see you when you get here." Jondy said.

"Ok, see you when we get there." Syl said still laughing.

"Yea, yea, yea laugh it up." Jondy said.

"Bye baby sister, love ya." Syl said.

"Bye, love you too." Jondy said and the two sisters hung up.

She looked at Zane to see him smirking at her. "What?" She asked.

"Nothing." He said innocently.

Jondy mocked glared at him before standing up. "I'm going to bed."

Zane laughed. "You don't sleep."

"Well... I do now." Jondy said before slipping into bed. "Goodnight Zane."

"Night Jon."
