Holly listens to this entire exchange and knows that Luke was lying to her yesterday. There is no strain in this marriage at all. She wonders why he would think so. She is beside herself listening to them and their conversation. She has to get out of here. She thinks about going to one of the windows in the living room and tries. All of the windows are bolted shut. Damn it. She says to herself. "Who bolts their windows shut? Robert that's who. The same Robert who forgot to change the door locks and the security code." She thinks and smiles. She is happy that they didn't change anything because it could mean they don't suspect her involvement at all.
She goes to the office door, but it is also locked. There is no other place downstairs for her to hide. She goes upstairs and decides on a place to hide until they are out of the kitchen.
They spend the rest of the evening in the living room watching TV trying to get their minds off the situation. He is absolutely exhausted from not getting any sleep the night before, but he is working on adrenaline now as he has done in the past and his exhaustion is not something he shows visibly. He knows Anna is looking at the clock knowing each time William gets fed and changed and figures right now he is getting ready for bed. He hands her the phone and she smiles.
"Hi Tiff. How is everything?"
She listens and she is smiling throughout the entire exchange. She can hear the baby on the other end making noises and it brings tears to her eyes. Robert listens as Anna tells Tiffany what to do next for the 100th time. She then talks to Robin who tells her everything is ok. They are all having fun and not to worry. She hands the phone back to Tiffany.
"Say listen, why don't you guys take advantage of a free night. Enjoy yourselves, but please keep an eye out. Don't get too carried away." She says.
"We will Tiff and thank you again." Anna says smiling as she hangs up.
"Everything good?" He asks watching some old movie.
"Yup all is good." She is sitting with her legs across Robert as he absent-mindedly is caressing her leg. She thinks about what Tiffany said and smiles.
"Have you checked in with the detail lately." She asks.
"Actually, I was going to do that at 11pm. All the doors and windows are locked and the alarm is set." He says still watching the movie. She looks at him and smiles. She begins to run her foot up the inside of his thigh and he smiles.
"Wanna go up?" she asks.
"Yeah let's go. I'm hungry though." He says.
"You're always hungry." She says smiling at him.
He goes into the kitchen and she follows him yawning.
"I don't think we have much for your sweet tooth." She says sitting in a chair.
"Yeah like you don't have one." He says with his head in the refrigerator.
He comes out of the refrigerator with a bowl of Jello. She looks at him like he's crazy.
"I hate Jello."
"Yeah but I don't and there's always room for Jello" He says wiggling his eyebrows at her.
"No way. Get that away from me." She says getting up laughing.
He grabs a handful of it and she backs away laughing and then pushes him and runs out the kitchen door. She runs upstairs laughing and he is not far behind and meets her in the bedroom. She is backing away with a big smile on her face as he begins to eat the Jello sensually. She momentarily forgets why she hates Jello. He puts the Jello on his night stand.
"Robert I don't want Jello all over my sheets. And in case you didn't hear me the first time, I hate Jello." She says still laughing as he approaches her.
"Well it's not for you, it's for me." He says and grabs her kissing her passionately.
After they break their kiss, Anna caresses his face and then her expression changes.
"What's the matter."
"Umm, should we really get carried away here, we are supposed to be on alert."
He sighs and knows she is scared and so is he. "I know, but the house is locked tight. The detail outside is monitoring the house and I think we are covered for now. Im not sayng there isnt a chance but.." He doesnt know what else to say and he lets her make the decision.
She smiles at him momentarily blinded by her desire for him and grabs him kissing him passionately. He get swept up in her need and passion as they both get lost in the kiss. He removes her blouse and begins to undo her pants. By the end of the kiss, she is standing there in her bra and underwear. She is just as swept up as he is and begins to unbutton his shirt as he undoes her bra. He picks her up and carries her to the bed. He lays her down and kisses her stroking her from her breasts to her stomach. He expertly removes her underwear and then looks down at her naked form. He gets up and removes his shirt and pants as she watches him. He returns to the bed and they get swept away as he settles himself between her legs. They are moaning into each other's mouths now as he begins a slight thrusting motion against her.
"Robert please." She says as he is sucking at her breast now. He stops and turns over and grabs the bowl of Jello.
"No please no." She says through laughter.
"Come on you know you want it." He says laughing with her.
"No I actually don't." She says.
He grabs a small handful and smears it all over her breasts and stomach. She squeals with laughter as she tries to stop him.
"Stop, stop its so cold."
He quickly remedies that situation as he proceeds to lick the Jello off. She watches him as he progresses down her body. She is moaning incoherently now and then he reaches his target. She yells out his name as he begins to love her intimately.
"Oh God Robert, Oh God."
Her hands have gone to his head to hold him in place. She quickly reaches climax and screams out his name. He is beside her when she recovers. He has Jello all over him and she laughs. She kisses him and it quickly escalates and she removes his boxers with her hands and her foot quickly and he takes them the rest of the way off. He is more than ready for her and they are both frantic to connect. They both moan at the sensation and repeatedly call each other's names. They move together in an erotically slow rhythm and it causes them both to continuously moan at the sensations. She realizes he is saying things against her mouth.
She hears "God I love you. I love you so much Anna." It immediately sends her over the edge and Robert not far behind.
"Hmmm. I love you." She says still holding him as they recover.
He looks down at her and kisses her. He goes to roll off of her and she stops him
"No don't. Stay with me please." She says. They lay like that for a while and they roll together to lay side by side.
"So, do you still hate Jello?" he asks and she laughs.
"I think I have a new appreciation. I will never look at Jello the same way again." She says and they both laugh.
They both look down at themselves and realize they are covered in it and so are the sheets.
"You do realize, I can't sleep like this." She says.
"Shower?" He says.
"Shower." She replies.
They get up laughing at how they are both so sticky. Anna just hopes that the Jello doesn't stain because they are covered in it. That would require a hell of an explanation.
Holly is in Robin's closet which backs right into their bedroom wall. She couldn't leave because the closet door makes a lot of noise when its opened. She has heard the entire episode from start to finish and is almost catatonic. She wants to kill them both now, but she doesn't have a gun with her. She curses her family for making her case and prepare the house before the hit tomorrow. She knows now that Luke was lying to her, which could only mean that they are all onto her and she is in danger. She has to get out of this house.
She hears them in the shower and thinks it's the only way. The closet door is very squeaky and she slowly opens it when she hears the water running. She also waits to make sure they are both in there and they are because she can hear them talking and their laughter. She quickly makes her exit and heads of the kitchen door.
Robert and Anna are in the shower rinsing themselves off and are thankful none of the Jello stained. They are getting ready to get out but Anna stops and thinks she hears a noise like a beep. It's the same sound the alarm pad makes when a door is opened. She panics. "Robert did you hear that?" He pauses. "I didn't hear anything." He shuts off the water. They immediately grab their robes and come into the bedroom. The alarm pad signals nothing and the system is still armed. She exhales and breathes a sigh of relief.
They spend the next half hour putting the bedding into the washer and putting new bedding on the bed. Robert decides to check the house one more time before they call it a night. He knows Anna has good instincts, but he didn't want to worry her. He checks with the detail and all is well. He checks the kid's bedrooms first Robin's and then Williams and all seems fine.
As he is approaching their bedroom he stops. He recalls when he checked earlier that Robin's closet door was closed. He goes back and sees its open. He sees footprints on the carpet. They are small but they are there.
He quickly goes back to their bedroom to make sure she is ok. He sees her sitting there waiting for him with a smile. That smile quickly fades when she sees his face. "What's wrong?" She asks.
"I think someone is here." He whispers.
She quickly retrieves her gun from her nightstand and they both go down the stairs and check out all the rooms. All is clear. They get to the kitchen and see that the backdoor is unlocked. He shakes his head.
"Damn it."
He goes back upstairs and she follows him into Robin's room.
"Someone was here. This door was closed, I know that for a fact and look at the footprints here and here." He says.
She goes into the closet and she gets a faint whiff of a fragrance. She knows it's not Robin's or hers.
"It was a woman." She says as she lifts one of Robin's blouses hanging in the closet. The scent is very strong. She looks further in the closet and sees a small diamond stud earring on the floor. She picks it up and looks at it. She knows it can't be Robin's, hers are much bigger. She goes to her jewelry box and confirms that the earrings her father gave her are still in there. Robert already knows who it was and it sickens him. Anna knows too.
"Why was she here?" She asks.
"I don't know, probably to case the house." He says. They both know she was here when they were making love and it makes their skin crawl.
"That's it. I'm done with this. I want this woman out of my life permanently." He says as he rushes into their room.
He quickly goes to get clothes to put on, but she stands in front of him to stop him.
"Not like this Robert please. You do anything now and our life is over. Do you understand me? "Don't leave me, don't leave us like this." She says pleading with him.
He hangs his head and knows she's right. He quickly calls Sean and tells him what happened. He spreads the word to the others as Robert talks to Guy and makes sure they add extra protection to the penthouse and to their house.
When he gets off the phone he says to her. "I can't believe I never thought of it. She has had the spare keys and never returned them. She had the code and I never changed it. What the hell is wrong with me?" He asks defeated as he sits on the bed.
"Robert we were both stupid. I never gave it a thought either. Nobody did." She says.
"You need to get out of here. They are coming for you probably tonight but no later than tomorrow. I'm sorry I ever agreed to this. We need to get you to a safe house until Friday." He says rambling.
"I'm not leaving. I'm NOT leaving you. We need to flush them out." She says forcefully.
"Anna please. You have to go." He says.
"I'm not leaving, so get it out of your head." She says. "Let them come we'll be ready for them. Together." She says smiling at him.
He shakes his head and says reluctantly. "Together."
They spend the rest of the night taking turns staying awake. They changed the alarm code, but they know that's not going to stop anyone from coming in. When dawn finally arrives, they both get up and get dressed. Robert is in the kitchen and Anna is in the office checking in with Sean who she knew would be up. He tells her the kids are perfect and everything is good. No sign of anyone trying to get into the building. Sean has had the building on lockdown and also has his own men monitoring everyone who comes in and out of the building. She is relieved. He says he'll be over by 9 and she tells him don't.
"I need you there protecting my children. Please stay there. Frisco will be here in twenty minutes."
Sean reluctantly agrees because he knows she's right. She comes out of the office and is heading for the kitchen when she hears a sound.
"Robert?" She calls out.
But she hears no reply. As she is heading through the dining room she is grabbed from behind.
"Don't make a sound or I will kill him after I kill you." She nods her head.
After few seconds she elbows him hard and he falls back. She quickly goes for his gun and they struggle for it. He hits her in the face and she falls backward. Robert comes through the kitchen door with his gun drawn and the man immediately fires hitting him multiple times in the leg. Robert falls to the ground but not before getting off a shot that hits the man in the chest.
Anna takes the gun that's at her back and empties her clip into the man and he dies immediately. She runs to Robert. There is blood squirting out of his leg. She knows a major artery has been hit. She grabs the sideboard cloth and quickly makes it into a tourniquet and ties off the vessel. He yells in pain as she does this. It stops the major flow, but he is still bleeding profusely. She runs and grabs the police WT and asks for all available agents. No one responds. She grabs the phone and dials 911.
The ambulances arrive within minutes as do almost the entire police department. She is talking to Robert trying to keep him conscious. The medics quickly come in and clamp the vessel as best they could In multiple places but they need to get him to the hospital before he loses his leg or his life. It is extremely painful and Robert is trying to keep it together.
"Sweetheart, honey, listen to me, hold on for me ok. Just concentrate on me. Its going to be ok." Anna says caressing his forehead. He shakes his head yes as he looks into her eyes.
"Ok lets go we need to get him to GH as soon as possible." The medic says.
Frisco quickly comes in and sees the scene. There is blood everywhere including all over Anna. He immediately goes to her.
"Are you hit?" he asks.
"No, its all Robert's." She says. They hug and then follow they stretcher outside.
"Ill drive you lets go." Frisco says.
"No, no I want to go with him."
He nods and she runs to get in the ambulance.
She has managed to keep him awake in the ambulance until they get to GH, but then he loses consciousness. Frisco arrives 10 seconds later and prevents Anna from following the stretcher into the trauma room.
"I can't lose him Frisco, we can't lose him." She says looking at the double doors.
"You won't, he's going to be fine. Trust me." He says.
Mac comes in and asks what's going on. Then the doctors come out and say they have stopped the bleeding temporarily but he has lost a lot of blood he needs a transfusion immediately.
"I'm his brother, we are the same type."
"Ok lets go."
Anna tries desperately to hold it together. Sean comes in and asks what's going on.
Anna immediately turns and goes up to him grabbing at him in desperation.
"What are you doing here? I asked you to stay with my children." She asks quietly but with menace. Frisco pulls her off him.
"I know Anna. I'm going back right now. I just had to see him." Sean says.
He turns to Frisco "Call me immediately when you hear anything." Frisco nods and watches him leave.
