A/N: cheating a little again. I'm doing Brady from the story that he was telling.

Brady knocked on Sam and Jessica's door. He knew Sam was out of town. It was perfect timing.

"Brady. Sam's not here. You can come in, though," Jess smiled at him. She was always so upbeat and happy. He found that annoying. He couldn't wait to barbecue her.

"Are those cookies I smell?" he asked.

"Yeah. Sam went away for the weekend. A little welcome home surprise."

"Oh, he'll have a surprise waiting for him alright."

Jessica wrinkled her brow in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Brady flung her across the room.

"What are you doing?" He laughed at the hurt look on her face.

"You're just fulfilling your destiny, sweetheart."

"What?"

Brady grabbed her arm and dragged her in the bedroom. "Remember when I set you and Sam up?"

Jessica nodded. He could tell she was scared. She should be.

"It was for this moment. I set you guys up so he would know the pain of losing you."

He flung her against the wall and slid her up to the ceiling.

"How are you doing this?"

He didn't answer her, but slit her stomach open.

"Jess, are you home?"

"Right on time," Brady whispered. He crept into the bathroom and turned on the shower. He would allow Sam a moment of domestic bliss before it all crashed down on him.
