Chapter 2

Alistair's Plan

"Hello.", Alistair greeted.

"Hello.", the talk blonde replied.

"Samantha Jenkins, am I right?", Alistair asked.

"Yes, sir.", Samantha replied.

"Well, if my memory serves me right, you owe me a favor.", he stated.

"Ye-Yes, sir.", she stuttered.

"Well, it's time you paid your dues.", he replied.

"Paid?"

"Did I stutter?"

"No, sir."

"Good, because I have in mind a job for you to do… I want you to seduce my grandson, get him drunk, drugged anything to make sure his wife sees you two doing the nasty. Got It.", he asked.

"Yes, sir."

"Is that him there ?", she asked noticing the picture in the file on his desk.

"Yes."

"And the black head girl, she's his wife ?"

"Correct."

"They look so happy… I can't possibly."

"Can't. You will or your father will pay…with possibly his life."

"No, I'll do as you say just leave my father alone."

"Good, we have deal… you sleep with Fox in order for your father to remain safe." "Also, I have hired you as the new house keeper that way no one gets suspicious."

"Does, Fox and…", she began.

"Yes, he and Theresa live in the cabin next to the mansion along with Little Ethan and Nichole."

"They have children ?"

"Yes… full Crane's and after you do your good deed.. I'll persuade Nicholas to take the children away from Theresa."

"You're heartless."

"And I care what a good for nothing hooker thinks, why ?"

"You aren't God, you can't go around…"

"I do whatever I see fit and keep in mind my dear you go against me or back out on me and your dear ol' father will be placed 6 feet under." "So, I'd advise you take care of your own and let me take care of Theresa and Foxworth."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kathelina had just left and Theresa had finally got Nichole to sleep.

So, she decided to go down and cook supper and wait on Fox.

There was a knock it seemed to be coming from outside or in the living room.

"Fox?", she asked, yet there was no reply. "FOX?", yet again there was no reply.

Theresa began to get scared, she'd heard stories about the Crane's having enemies, enemies, that wouldn't care to endangered or even kill a 'A Crane' and that's what she was, Fox Cranes, wife. Theresa Crane and that exactly how they'd see.

She picked up the gun she knew Fox keep in case of an emergency and crept to the door . Standing on her tippy toes to look out she had difficulty looking out so she'd decided to open the door and to check her self and if anything one was there she'd kill in self defense.

Instead she saw a photo of Ethan. A photo she swore she'd got rid of. "What the ?"

"Theresa?", Fox asked. "What's going on ?"

"I heard something and when I went to check out I found this.", she said handing him the photograph of Ethan.

"Ethan ?", he said simply.

"Yeah.", she replied she was almost shaking.

"Come on, Theresa. You don't need to be out here it's freezing."

"I'm fine."

"No, your not. Resa, this upsets you don't it ? You still blame yourself for Ethan's death, don't you ?", he asked.

Theresa said nothing, just broke down in tears. "Yes, yes, I do.", she managed in almost a whisper.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hello, Is this…", she began.

"Yes, and your Samantha, right ?"

"Yes, I was told your to help me.", he continued.

"Yes, Alistair has given me orders…", she began.

"Orders, to sleep with Fox, right ?"

"Yes, I see you and Mr. Crane keep in contact."

"Yeah, well he also gave me orders to keep an eye on you."

"Well, I'll be just fine…I'm a big girl. I don't need a wimp like you tell me what to do or in my who to do."

"Alistair wants Theresa to see you two and that's what he'll get."

"How do you know that'll give him that ?"

"Because, your father will die…Alistair told me all about your little compromise. Fox and Theresa broke up in exchange for your dear ol' dad's life."

"Why would he tell you this ? He's a wise man, why would he possibly trust you ?"

"I'm just like him in a sense, I plan carefully."

"Oh, really, well the last plan landed you in..."

"I know, but I let my emotions control me that time."

"Whatever."

"When do you start ?"

"Today, I have to report at the mansion in 30 minutes."

"When do you make your presents know ?"

"Soon, very soon."
