Chapter Sixteen
(Ethan hears the doorbell ring of the Crane mansion and answers it)
Sam: Ethan, just the man I wanted to see.
Ethan: Dad, hey.
Sam: Can I come in?
Ethan: Of course, come in. Take a seat.
(Ethan and Sam sit on the couch)
Sam: You look awful.
Ethan: Thanks.
Sam: I mean you look really worn out. Are you working on a new case?
Ethan: Not exactly.
Sam: Tell me what's wrong, you know you can always talk to me.
Ethan: It's Theresa.
Sam: Ahh I see.
Ethan: Alistair, I know he keeps abusing her in more ways than one. Raping her, using Little Ethan as a pawn in his sick game.
Sam: Alistair is as evil as they come. And Theresa, I always remember her as the sweet little girl I watched growing up with Noah, Jessica, and Kay.
Ethan: Yeah well...
Sam: I know I missed that with you Ethan and there's not a day that goes by that I don't wish that we could have...
Ethan: Dad please, it's not your fault. You didn't know I was your son and we can't get that time back.
Sam: I know, but still.
Ethan: Now we have all the time in the world to make up for what we missed.
Sam: You're right and I don't want to waste that time regretting the past. Now back to you.
Ethan: It's live I'm living in a nightmare taht I just can't wake up from.
Sam: I don't see why Theresa just don't leave Alistair.
Ethan: He's using Little Ethan to keep Theresa as his victim.
Sam: Theresa is a fighter, you know how she is. She's impulsive, full of life, never give up attitude.
Ethan: Theresa is no match for Alistair.
Sam: You don't have to tell me that. Nobody deserves what Theresa has endured because of that man.
Ethan: I can't just sit back and watch it continue. I have to to whatever it takes, no matter what the cost. I have to stop that miserble old man from hurting the woman I love.
Sam: What did you just say?
Ethan: I...
Sam: You're talking about Theresa as the woman you love, the woman you want to be with.
Ethan: I'm married to Gwen and I'm with her.
Sam: I know that, but the way you talk it's as if that's not how you want things to be.
Ethan: Look dad, you know that Theresa and I almost married twice. If things would have been different she would have been my wife. We would be a family with our daughter and her son.
Sam: But things are different.
Ethan: You don't have to remind me of that fact. Still no matter what happens in our lives I always love Theresa and always will.
Sam: Wow, I knew that Theresa had a place in your heart. But I just didn't realize how deep your love for her truly is.
Ethan: I'd die for her dad, anything to protect her from Alistair.
(Upstairs)
Theresa: I have to stop Alistair. I can't let him keep raping me over and over again. Most importantly I have to stop him from turning my son into his evil spawn.
(Theresa walks over to a security guard)
Theresa: Hey there.
Security Guard: Mrs. Crane.
Theresa: Please, call me Theresa.
Security Guard: Okay, The-resa.
Theresa: So don't you have have a name?
Security Guard: It's Donald.
Theresa: ahh, Donny!
Donald: Mrs..Theresa, is there something you need me for.
Theresa: Oh yeah, we all have needs for pleasure, don't we?
(Theresa tickles Donald's ear)
Donald: I don't think so, your Mr.Crane's wife.
Theresa: Oh, that's just legal stuff. We didn't marry for love. And everyone needs love in their life, don't you think?
Donald: You are a very attractive woman...
Theresa: Then there's no problem.
Donald: Mr. Crane would have my job if I even...
Theresa: Oh come on, don't worry about Alistair. You know how many of the maids and assistants I caught him screwing.
Donald: I see, you are doing this or should I say trying to do me in order to get back at him.
Theresa(thinking to herself): More like trying to get rid of that old bastard.
Donald: No, no, no!
Theresa: No?
Donald: I am tired of being used by beautiful women, used for my body. No! Not anymore!
Theresa: Who said anything about using. Oh come on stop being such a prude.
Donald: I am no prude! I'm quite the ladies man actually which is why you're practically falling all over me.
Theresa: Oh yeah, then just shut up and kiss me.
(Theresa kisses Donald and pushes him up against the wall)
(Donald pulls back)
Donald: Whoa, Mrs. Crane. That was totally out of line.
Theresa: Donny, you know you liked it.
Donald: I suurrender, I want more!
(Donald grabs Theresa, kisses her, pushes her to the ground,and comes on top of her)
(Theresa gazes at the Donald's gun, slipping it in her hands, as Donald is all over her like a wild animal)
(Theresa places the gun behind her as she pushes Donald off her)
Theresa: Ahh, that was fun.
Donald: Done already? My latino goddess, I'm not finnished with you.
(Donald gropes Theresa)
Theresa: Oh alright, I'll go get my husband to join in.
Donald: I'm outta here!
(Donald rushes off)
(Theresa sighs)
Theresa: Everyone is scared of the big bad Alistair Crane, but not me, not anymore.
(Theresa holds up the gun and stares at it)
(Hearing Alistair walking up the stairs, Theresa hides the gun and puts it behind her)
Alistair: Oh there you are, Ive been looking for my ravishing wife.
Theresa: You have? What a coinsedence I've been looking for my handsome husband as well.
(Alistair giggles)
Alistair: you and your humor Theresa. I've been craving you and that fire of yours.
(Alistair grabs Theresa and starts kissing her neck)
Theresa: Lets take it in the bedroom.
Alistair: Why? When I can just have you right here.
Theresa: I get more excited in the bedroom, the wildcat in me comes out.
Alistair: When have you ever been anything, but repulsed by me?
Theresa: I've finally saw the light, there's no use in fighting you Alistair.
Alistair: I'm glad you finally learned your lesson.
Theresa: I have, I know Ethan could never be the man you are.
Alistair: You've got that right.
Theresa: So take me Alistair.
Theresa(thinking to herself): So I can get you right where I want you.
Alistair: I'll take you, but i will take you my way!
(Alistair grabs Theresa and drags her into the bedroom, throwing her onto the bed)
(Theresa sneaks the gun from behind her and hides it under the pillow)
Theresa: Do you have to be so rough?
Alistair: I like it rough and we do it my way! Your job is to please me!
(Alistair rips off Theresa's shirt and topples on top of her)
Theresa: Ahh!
Alistair: Mmmm, I wanna hear you moan. Do it woman!
Theresa(thinking to herself): My plan isn't working like I thought it would. No matter how I have to protect myself and my children from Alistair.
Alistair: I don't hear you.
Theresa: Ahh yes Alistair, your the
best lover I've ever had.
(Theresa forces her eyes shut)
Alistair: Mmmm, tell me more. How Ethan could never satisfy your pleasure they way I do.
(Theresa shuts her eyes harder and then opens them imagining Ethan in front of her)
Theresa: Ethan...
Ethan: Theresa you have to stop him.
Theresa: I can't.
Ethan: You have to, use the strength in you. Your stength is one of the amazing things about you that I've always loved.
Theresa: You are the one that gave me the strength to get through anything.
Ethan: Then use that strength right now Theresa. You have to protect yourself, Little Ethan, and Jane from this horrible man.
Theresa: I tried.
Ethan: You can do this, I know you can.
Theresa: How do you know.
Ethan: Because I love you, I give you strength just as you give me strength. We're a part of each other. You can do this because I'll be with you every step of the way.
(Theresa smiles and shut her eyes and opens them again to see Alistair)
Alistair: Did you not hear me? Say it, do it!
Theresa: No! Not anymore!
Alistair: No one says no to me! I'm Alistair Crane! I will not ask again.
(Theresa grabs the gun from under the pillow and points it at Alistair)
Theresa: Step away, Alistair.
(Alistair steps away)
Alistiar: You don't have the guts.
Theresa: You think so try me.
(Alistair moves closer to Theresa as she shoots the lamp)
Theresa: I'm not kidding Alistair.
Alistair: You got some nerve Theresa, I'll give you that.
Theresa: I will not take your abuse any longer, I won't let you warp my son into your pawn for your sick game. It's over Alistair, for you anyways.
COMING: Theresa fires the gun and someone is shot!
