Chapter Twelve

"It's ok Melanie. Your mother's has gotta learn not to mess with me and well Jason…he needs to learn some lessons too," the person said to the sobbing baby, as the person rocked her in the rocking chair.

Jason, who was sitting on a bench near the harbor, was speaking, well more like shouting, to Sonny on his cell phone, "Sonny, Sam is dead inside. There has to be somewhere we haven't looked yet. I'm coming back out to Pine Valley."

Sonny, who was in Pine Valley, spoke calmly, "Don't even think about it, Sam needs you with her."

Jason hung up his cell phone without saying another word to Sonny. He was angry, but not at Sonny. He was angry with himself for not being able to find Melanie. He sighed and got up to walk back to his penthouse.

Meanwhile, Sam sat on the sofa at Jason's penthouse, where she was staying. Greenlee and Carly had just left and Sam decided to rest. She was under house arrest, or so it seemed. She was not allowed to go anywhere without Jason being right beside her. As she finished off her water and set it down, she heard a knock on the door. Sam slowly stood up and stumbled to the door.

"Who is it?" she asked, slightly annoyed.

"It's Max, Ms. McCall," the voice said.

Sam opened the door to find Max holding a dozen pink roses, "Oh Max, they're beautiful. Who are they from?"

"I don't know Ms. McCall, they were sitting at your door when I came back from my lunch break."

Sam smiled, thinking they came from Carly or Greenlee or maybe even Jason. She turned around and went back inside without saying another word to Max.

She walked over to the desk and set the roses down and once again, she smiled. Sam found the card and opened the envelope. As she read the card, her whole body froze.

Just as Jason walked into the penthouse, Sam knocked the roses to the floor, breaking the vase, and Jason watched her as she ran around him and out the door, unable to catch her.

"Max! Don't let her get on the elevator!" Jason shouted.

But it was to late, Sam was on the elevator and the doors had already closed.

Jason didn't think twice before he ran down the stairs, hoping to catch Sam before she got out the lobby doors. But it was to late, Sam was outside. Just as Jason got to the doors, Carly and Greenlee came through them.

"Jason! Where is she going?" screamed Carly, louder than what she intended.

Jason just looked at the frightened girls as he continued out the doors. He looked to his left and saw a woman, Sam, turning down an alley.

That was when Jason heard the scream, a scream so terrifying, Jason froze. That scream wasn't just any woman's scream. It was Sam's.
