"Are you willing to trash Kendall's image?" Julia asked.
"What? Are you kidding me?" he asked.
"Not to badly. Just enough for her to leave Pine Valley."
"What?" Victor asked again. "Lady, your crazy. I'm sorry but I'm not going to work with you anymore."
Victor walked out and closed the door to a very stunned Julia.
"Fine I guess I'll just have to do it all by myself."
"Mom," Alisa said. "Everybody thinks that there's this chance that…" Alisa paused; she had tears shimmering in her eyes. "There's this chance that you like not my mom." A few tears made a trail down her nose. She wiped her eyes. "But momma, I don't believe them. I know you're my momma. You have to be!"
Zach walked in. "Oh sorry," he apologized. "I thought you had left."
"No that's ok, you can go ahead," Alisa said, walking out and wiping her eyes.
"I need to see you," Michelle whispered into Megan's ear.
"I'm sorry I don't know you," she replied, startled.
"It's important," Michelle said.
Megan sighed and followed her into another deserted room. Inside there was a girl, leaning against a table. She had a hat on and was wearing glasses. Most of her features were covered up.
"But… you're supposed to be dead!" Megan shouted.
"I'm not," the woman replied.
"She won't listen to me when I tell her that she needs to leave," Michelle said.
"I came to see if my daughter was all right," the woman replied.
"Do you want to ruin everything?" Megan asked.
"No! But my daughter isn't well!"
"You said yourself you didn't want anyone to know," Michelle said.
"Listen, Ken, I promise I'll call you with information," Megan said. "JUST LEAVE!"
"I can stay here just fine," the woman replied.
"Do you think Kendra would like it?" Michelle asked.
"She doesn't have to know," the woman replied.
"Fine. Just how did you survive?" Megan asked.
"I got lucky," the woman replied.
"For now," Michelle said.
"Oh Michee! Megan! I'm fine," the woman said exasperated. "And I will be fine."
"We're worried for you safety," Megan said.
"Well, you don't have to be," the woman replied. "Look, I'll visit Kendra once, once she wakes up. Then I'll leave. And once Alex is well, you'll take her Megan, and we'll leave. And Kendra can live her life as Kendall. See it'll work. While I'm here, nobody will get a look at me so we won't have to worry."
"Are you sure you'd be able to handle it?" Megan asked.
"Yeah, would you be able to see everyone and not loose control," Michelle asked.
"Hey, I've made it this far," the woman replied walking out.
"You remember the last time I was here?" Zach asked. "And you were there?" Zach sat on the bed. "I told you I loved you, remember? Well, I've never stopped. I love you more than anybody. More than Julia. I love you so much. I love you Kendall."
The woman stood at the door looking in at Zach and Kendra with tears in her eyes. Quickly, she moved into the shadows. She saw Zach walk out the door a couple of minutes later. Quietly, the woman slipped in the doorway.
"Hey, Ken. I hope you're all right. I know you will be. I mean you're a Kane right?" The woman smiled. "I just wanted to say thanks and I know that you'd like it here. You'd be great."
"Of course I am," Kendra croaked.
"You're awake," the woman answered, smiling.
"Yeah. But what are you doing here? Is the plan over?"
"No its not… I just had to make sure you were ok," the woman replied.
"Well I'm fine. Are you still in danger?" Kendra asked.
"You know me, danger follows me." The woman kissed Kendra on the forehead. "Good luck."
"I think I'll need it."
"Yeah. Especially in this town. I guess I'll see you eventually. Bye."
"Wait, Ken?"
"Yeah?"
"You sure?"
"Sure about what?"
"That you want to go through with it?"
"Yeah. It's for the best…it really is." The woman gave a sad smile and blew a kiss before walking out the door.
Zach entered a second later, carrying flowers.
"I forgot something," he said. "Flowers." He set them down beside her and kissed her on the fore head. "I love you."
Kendra's eyes fluttered open. She took a deep breath.
"I…I love you too."
"So I'll do it. Zach will be so disgusted that he'll drop that bitch as if she was a hotplate. Then I'll have him and never have to worry about loosing him to her ever again. To bad that Victor chickened out. He would have made a great accomplice."
Happy Thanksgiving!
