Thanks for the review CC. Here is Chapter 3
Chapter 3
John and Marlena were tied up back to back, John's wrists bloody from trying to free himself from the ropes. Marlena had given up before her wrists could get that bloody. They were in the back of an enclosed truck, and both were certain that Stephano was lurking nearby. They were also gagged, so there was no way they could scream for help.
Back at home in Salem, Steve is trying to figure out who this lady he keeps on seeing who looks like Kayla is. He spots her at a restaurant and decides to ask her. "Excuse me," he begins. "You look so familiar, do I know you from somewhere?"
"Steve? Is that you?" She gives him a puzzled look. "But...But...Kayla said...Mom said..." The woman was in shock.
"But how do I know you?" He asked her.
"I'm Kim!" She replied. "Kayla's sister."
"But why haven't you told Kayla your in town yet?" He asked her.
"Because I didn't know she was in town! I just got here last night..."
Steve nodded. "Well, she will be so happy to see you." They casually embraced and who came in but the one and only Shane Donovan.
"And this is my husband Shane, you two were friends back in the olden days." Kim told Steve. She was catching onto the fact that he wasn't able to remember much.
"Good to see ya again!" Shane smiled at Steve. "We all thought you were dead!"
"Well," Steve smiled. "Here I am!"
"And looking good! So, where have you been all this time?"
"Cincinatti." Steve replied.
"Why there?" Kim asked.
"Because someone brainwashed me!"
"Well, who do you think did that?" Kim asked.
"An Alamain, DiMera, or possibly, a Kiriakus!" Steve replied.
"All good guesses, but do you have any proof?" Shane asked.
"Proof? Proof? My memory is GONE!" Steve replied a bit annoyed by the question. "I dont need proof. What if suddenly one day you couldn't remember Kim? How would you feel?"
"Well, good point." Shane replied. "We'll help you get to the bottom of this!"
"Thanks!" Steve smiled at the two of them and then Kayla walked in.

"Stephano!" The mystery voice shouted into the phone.
"What is it?" Stephano sounded annoyed.
"Well, I was at the cafe today, and it appears that Kim and Shane are back and they are going to 'help' Steve get his memory back."
"Oh God! Brady's! Why do they keep on showing up after I work so hard to get rid of them!" Stephano questioned the person on the other line.
"I dont know sir, but I am sure you can get rid of them again. Is there anything you would like me to do?"
"Yes...Oh yes...

John had almost freed himself when Stephano entered the room and stood in front of him domineeringly. "Even if you free yourself," he began to John. "I have Marlena." Stephano grabbed Marlena and took her away from John, causing a panic in John. What as Stephano going to do to her.
A TV that had been sitting in the back of the truck started. Marlena was untied and Stephano was hugging her. "There now, how are you?" He asked her.
"Doing well darling, doing well." She replied.
John was in shock. Was this really his Marlena? Was it her twin? Who?
"And how are the children?" He asked.
"Very good." She replied. "We have done such a good job of keeping their paternity a secret." She smiled at the camera. "All three of them are yours my love." She kissed Stephano, and John's face dropped.
