Chapter 2

The light beams through his dark blinds. He has been awake for the last two hours just staring at the ceiling above. He looked at the clock and notices it's almost noon, "Noon" he says in a low voice….the moment his life changed forever.

Jason Flashback:

It has been three weeks and still no leads to Sam. Jason and Sonny have been using all their man power to find her, but they have come up dry. They even have Reese and the FBI helping them find her, but they have also found nothing.

Jason sat on Sonny's couch on the phone with all of his men and looking at all the documents in front of him trying to find anything that will lead him to Sam.

"You sure Sandavols are clean Max? Jason said
"Yhea…they are clean Jason, there is nothing that we can find that can connect them to Sam disappearance", Max said on the other line
"Ok…well I want you to still keep an eye on them just in case, you never know what my turn up" Jason said in a disappointed voice
"Ok….Hey Jason, we will find her" Max said
"I know….I know" Jason said and hung up.

Jason sunk back on the couch, and threw the phone on the desk when Sonny entered.

"Hey…anything new" Sonny said with a hopeful voice, "No….we still got nothing!" Jason said staring off in the distance. "Jason we will find her, I know she is out there somewhere waiting for you to come to her" Sonny said trying to build up his hope. "I don't know Sonny, I feel something at the bottom of my stomach that something bad has happened to her", "Jason, you can't let that feeling sink into your thoughts, you have to stay positive and determined that you will find her" Sonny said while looking at Jason straight in the eye. "I know Sonny….but…" Jason was interrupted by Rico, "Agent Marshall is here to see you two, she says it's urgent", "Ok let her in" Sonny said.

"Hey" Reese said entering the living room. "Any new information you have for us?" Sonny asked, "Actually yes I do have some new information" Reese said with a state of disappointment in her eyes that Jason caught. "Ok what is it?" Jason said, "Umm….I am sorry to break the news, but….we have found Sam's body" Reese said with remorse in her voice and eyes. "You What!…No…No…No. You must me mistaken, it can't be Sam, It can't!" Jason said in emotional voice and tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry Jason, but we have, and I need you to come to the morgue and identify her", "You damn right I am coming with you, and I will prove that you and all those pricks are wrong, that is not Sam's body!" Jason said. "I will come along" Sonny said, "No! I want you to stay here, and keep on searching for her, we can't stop this search!" Jason said and than turned and left with Reese.

Jason entered the cold steeled room. "She must be wrong, she is wrong that is not Sam" he kept repeating in his head. The morgue employee motioned Jason to the table in the middle of the room with Reese at his side. "Are you ready?" the employee asked Jason, "Yhea…I am" Jason said with a hint of worry. He lifts the sheet, and Jason almost faints from what he sees. He quickly exits the room, and runs out to the lobby with Reese on his tail. "Jason…Jason, are you alright?" Reese says, "That was…it was Saaam" Jason says with tears rolling down his cheeks. He collapses on the floor, and Reese falls besides him, and lightly hugs him while he cries. In his cries, Jason looks at the clock on the wall reading…12:00pm….Noon.

End of Flashback

Now here he is in their bed, staring at the ceiling. He hears her whimper, and feels her hands move across his chest. "Hey…you are awake. Did you have a good time last night because I sure did?" she said, "Yhea it was ok" Jason said. "Ok?…Well I am hurt" she said, "Well sorry about that, I think you should be leaving now. Your money is on the table downstairs. Four Hundred Dollars like we agreed". "Are you sure you don't want to go for another ride?", she said while circling her fingers on Jason's chest, "Yes I am sure, I had enough last night, so you can leave now" Jason said removing her hand off his chest with force. "Fine!" she said with annoyance, and quickly got dressed. Before exiting out the room she must ask…"Umm…I never got your name?", "Good, because you don't need to know" he said back with his ice stare. She got the clue, and quickly left.

After twenty more minutes staring at the ceiling, Jason makes his way to the bathroom, and stares at himself in the mirror. He puts his hand on his chest where that woman just made circles with her fingers, "The only woman who will ever make circles on my chest is Sam" he said to himself, "She will be the only woman to circle my heart". He turns from the mirror and gets in the shower; today is going to be a long day.

Across Town:

"Ms. Cassadine we have arrived at the Metro Court" the limo driver said, "I see we have, but if I am not mistaken you were given the orders to drop me off in the back entrance, correct?" "Yes...I was, but I thought you will want to see" the limo driver said before cut off by Sam, "You thought wrong, what is your name?", "Ryan", "Well Ryan if I was you I will begin to drive this limo towards the back entrance if you value your job". "Ok Ms. Cassadine….bitch" Ryan says in a low tone, "Excuse me?" Sam said, "Nothing...Nothing" Ryan says trying to save himself.

The limo rounds Metro Court and stops at the back entrance. The door opens, "Hello Samantha", "Hello Justin" Sam says while stepping out the limo. "Damn!" Sam yells while stepping in a puddle, "There goes $2000 worth of high heels, Justin can you please call Donatella Versace and tell her to send me another pair of her black spring wear high heels?", "Ok…I will call her as soon as you get settled", "Thank You" Sam said.

Justin and Sam walk to the private elevator leading them to her penthouse suite. They enter the elevator, and Sam looks at Justin with an annoyed grin. "Is he here?" she asked, "No he is not, he is arriving tomorrow night" he replied. "Is she here?" she asked with an even more annoyed voice, Justin laughs and says "Yhea…she is here. She arrived last night, and is waiting for you in the suite". "Great" Sam said rolling her eyes.

The elevator doors open, and they walk too the suite door, she inhales a deep breath, and motions Justin to open the door. Sam walks in and sees her looking out the window. "Hello, Grandmother", Sam says with a fake smile, "Oh Samantha, you have finally arrived" Helena says "How was your flight from Greece?", "It was less than delightful, but here I am" Sam says putting down her Gucci purse. "Well my sweet child, come here" Helena said motioning Sam to the window, which Sam obliged. "Look at this view Samantha, soon this will all belong to you", Helena says, "Yes Grandmother I know" Sam says back. "Do you Samantha? Do you? Look at me" Helena says, and Sam turns to look at her, "We have been preparing you for your whole life for this moment, and you must follow through", "I will grandmother, I will" Sam says back with confidence in her voice. "Good, now go get some rest. You are going to need your energy for tomorrow night.", "Ok grandmother." Sam says while heading to her bedroom. "Oh and Samantha, he picked a gown for you for tomorrow night, it's on your bed" Helena says, and Sam continues to her bedroom.

She looks at the gown on her bed. "Huh…he will pick something like this. Dark as usual" Sam says and falls on the bed. "Well I better rest because tomorrow night at the Nurses Ball I am going to need all my energy, especially when I see…Jason".
