Kate, Sami, Greta and Eric all had lunch together as they waited for the
local Xerox to finish making the fliers. Kate even put an award up for
information. Lucas has been missing for days now and the longer he stayed
missing the more worried Kate and Sami became. Eric came up with the old
fashioned flyer idea, and he and Greta spent the morning putting the
splashy flyer together. Once the printing was done the four of them were
going to split up and put up the fliers. Eric and Greta had to stop at 4
PM though since they were going to pick up the test results for everyone.
Carrie and Austin drove through the French countryside just talking about old times. They drive reminded them both of happier days like when they drove to Green Mountain Lodge together for a romantic weekend away. The drive went so fast for them that they were at the hospital in no time.
Austin opened Carrie's door for her and the went inside together. Everything was in French, and the doctor's seemed to be drinking wine at the nurse's station which through Carrie and Austin for a loop. Carrie walked up to the nurse's station and said, "Bonjour. Parlez vous anglais?"
The nurse answered, "Non. Minute."
Austin thought that the woman was abrasive but a minute later another nurse came out and said, "Hello. May I help you?"
Austin took over the conversation when he asked, "We're looking for my brother Lucas Roberts. Is he here?"
The nurse looked a little perplexed before she said, "No we have no one by that name here."
Carrie then asked, "If we show you a picture perhaps you can tell us? He didn't have his wallet with him."
The nurse wanted to help. Carrie pulled out a wallet sized photo of Lucas, Sami and Will and showed it to the nurse. The nurse said, "Oui. He was here, but his wife said his name was Robertson."
Carrie pointed to the picture again and said, "His wife? Was it the girl in the photo? She's my sister and she hasn't heard from him in days. That's their little boy."
The nurse handed the photo back to Carrie and replied, "There must be some mistake. The woman claimed to be his wife, but that wasn't her."
Austin asked, "Did the woman have short blond hair, thin tall body. Act like a bitch."
Carrie looked at Austin funny, but the nurse replied, "Oui."
Carrie then asked, "Where is Lucas?"
The nurse replied, "They checked out about a half an hour ago."
Austin asked, "They. So Lucas is all right and he went with her?"
The nurse realized she needed to explain everything, so she said, "Non. Monsieur Lucas was in a horrible accident, but we saved him. He was still heavily sedated when his wife insisted that she could take care of him at home. Against the doctor's wishes she checked him out and we helped put him in a wheelchair. We gave her lots of bandages that need to be changed in a few hours."
Carrie hated the thought of telling Sami this news. Austin took Carrie's hand where she could tell he was nervous too before he asked the nurse, "But he should be fine?"
The nurse answered, "Oui. Provided that the bandages are changed and he's cared for over the next few days, he'll make a full recovery."
Carrie then asked, "How long will the sedatives last?"
The nurse replied, "Oh still a few more hours, but she has a prescription for pain medications that should keep him out for a few days."
Austin and Carrie wanted to keep drilling the nurse for information, but they also had to call Sami and Kate to tell them what they learned. Carrie told the nurse, "If we have more questions, can we call you?"
The nurse wrote her telephone number and extension down on a slip of paper and said, "Good luck. We wouldn't have released him if she didn't have all the paperwork. I don't understand how someone could have all of that."
Austin took the paper and said, "Thank you. We'll be in touch."
Carrie and Austin went outside and called Sami.
Sami and Kate were hanging fliers up wherever they could. Kate had a meeting with a local television show in a half an hour where Greta was going to announce the reward. Sami dropped the papers in her hand when her phone rang. She leaned down to collect them, as she nervously answered, "Hello?"
Carrie told Sami, "Is Kate with you? We have news."
Sami stopped fiddling with the papers and just sat on top of them. Kate saw Sami's face and asked, "What's going on? Is it Lucas?"
Sami shook her head no, but told Kate, "Carrie knows something, hold on."
Kate leaned down and collected a few of the papers that were going to fly away as Sami listened to her phone.
Carrie explained everything. The hospital, the accident, Nicole, Lucas' sedated and needs medical care, everything. Sami felt herself tearing up. Afterwards Sami explained to Kate in a far off tone like she wasn't processing the information. Kate however grew darker before she exclaimed, "That bitch is putting my son in danger."
Sami guilt ridden said, "If I hadn't told him to leave, he'd be fine. It's my fault."
Kate begrudgingly told Sami, "It's my fault too then. But neither one of us control Nicole and she's kidnapped him."
Sami felt her anger rise up. Kate was right. Nicole was a complete bitch. She stood up and said, "Change Greta's script at the news station. Let's tell the world all about Nicole."
Kate used her cell phone and called the news station. She explained to Greta on the phone what she needed to say. Greta wrote down the gist of what Nicole had done. Greta then handed the phone to Eric so Sami could explain to him as she went on air.
The news station then said, "And now for our special report. As many of us know Princess Greta Von Umberg's love life has been the center piece of news for a while now. She dumped her fiancée at the altar and secretly married an American photographer. Our station is proud to have an exclusive with the once love starved Princess."
Greta hated that announcement, but she took her seat for the interview. She talked in French, "Thank You for having me. I hope this interview helps me correct a kidnapping that developed because of my estrangement from Eric."
The news interviewer had a set question ready about how she met Eric, but instead he asked, "Kidnapping? How did your secret wedding result in a kidnapping?"
Greta then explained everything she knew about Nicole Walker and how she came to kidnap Lucas Roberts. She even had a picture of Eric, Sami, Lucas and herself that Kate photoshopped for her earlier. They looked like the best of friends. And she explained how Nicole Walker was the one to break up Eric and herself the first time and kidnapping Lucas was very obviously her way of regaining a power hold to get to Eric again. Greta painted such a black picture of Nicole that the newsroom was dead silent for a full minute.
Eric had no idea what Greta said out there. But he was signaled to go onstage suddenly. He hung up the phone where he was talking to Sami and went out. He took Greta's hand, and she said something else to the news reporters. He stood with her until the lights went off signaling that they were off the air. Greta then stood up and thanked everyone and left with Eric.
Eric asked her, "Did everything go ok?"
Greta answered, "I hope I did the right thing. I couldn't seem to stop myself from explaining about Nicole."
Eric then answered, "I'm sure you were wonderful."
Greta just hopped that exposing Nicole on air was the right thing to do. She knew publicity never helped her find her well renowned mother when she was kidnapped and presumed dead. Greta then changed topics, "Let's get to the hospital. The results will be in soon about the little boy."
Eric told her, "Kate's on her way already. Sami's going back to the house to wait for Carrie and Austin. If I know my sister, she's probably tell us her plan when we get back."
Greta nodded her head and they took off for the hospital to get the test results.
Meanwhile Nicole set Lucas up in the apartment she rented for them. Nathan helped her pay for everything. Nicole heard her sleeping husband mumbling for Sami again, which bothered her slightly.
But later when he started coming out of his drug induced haze, and she knew he recognized her, she handed him a glass of water and explained, "The hospital called me and I came to help you since Sami seemed so mad. She never showed up at the hospital."
He drank his water, even though he was very tired and confused from the drugs. The water felt good to his throat before he asked, "What happened to me?"
Nicole explained calmly, "You were in a car accident. Were you drinking Lucas?"
He almost choked on his water. He put it down before saying, "No. I wanted to go to the bar back in Paris, but I went for a drive instead."
Nicole stood up and dolled out pills before saying, "The doctor said you should take your medicine when you woke up. Here it will help ease the pain."
He hesitated for a moment before accepting the pills, but he really did feel terrible. Besides Sami wasn't here, so it was easier to let himself feel miserable along with tired. His life hadn't changed after all of this time. Again he was married to the lifeless replacement that never could make him smile like Sami did. It seemed easier to just take the pills and go back to sleep than think about restarting his life without Sami.
Nicole smiled to herself when Lucas went back to sleep. Part one of her plan was working out. Once she convinced Lucas to accept that their fate was to remain married for money and sex and destroy Kate and Sami in the process then she could win back Eric. Everything was going to work out this time.
