A/N: So, I bumped this chapter out in about ten minutes and I think I did okay with it. There is definitely more drama coming up. Next chapter we find out more about John Steele and who he really is. Also, we will get the sit down talk with Sam and her parents. Still trying to decide how to handle Julian and his reaction so feel free to tell me what you think.

Also, I will be getting back to the adults lives real soon here. I still haven't worked out the kinks yet.

Chapter Eleven: Something You Aren't Telling Me

A week after telling Julie that she was gay Sam had felt a little relieved. She has spent most of her time with Kelsey because at home everyone was walking around on egg shells. She knew at some point she was going to have to sit down and tell her parents officially that she's coming out. Brooke knew, but Julian didn't. Sam was afraid that Julian would disown her. What made her less hesitant about telling her father was that her mother told her that she was accepting it.

It was the morning before another school day when she was surprised by Kelsey who was sitting in the kitchen talking to Brooke. Sam had just finished getting ready and she smiled when she laid eyes on her girlfriend.

"What are you doing here?"

Kelsey turned and smiled.

"I came to pick you up for school."

Sam nods her head with a smile as she accepts a glass of apple juice from her mother. Brooke looks at the two girls with interest.

Sam takes a seat next to her girlfriend and smiles when Kelsey interlocks their fingers and rests it on her lap.

"You guys are so cute," Brooke gushes causing both girls to blush.

"Mom, stop it," Sam whines.

"Let me have this," Brooke says with a pout. She smiles when she sees Sam roll her eyes. "So, what are your plans for the day?"

"The basketball season starts," Sam says with an excited grin.

Basketball was something her and Kelsey shared. They were lucky because being on varsity granted them automatic spots on the team. There were still try-outs for the spots open from when the seniors left. They had to attend try-outs.

"I'm sure you two are happy about that," Brooke says with a knowing smile.

Kelsey looks at Sam and then back at Brooke.

"Of course, it means I get to spend more time with Sam."

Sam lets go of Kelsey's hand and grabs her and Kelsey's glasses and puts them in the sink.

"We have to go, but I will see you when I get home."

"Sam, are you sure you want to do this today?"

Sam glances at Kelsey who offers her a smile. Sam turns back to her mother.

"I have to. I want to know where dad stands. It will give me piece of mind, mom. I really need that right now."

Officer Trevor Daniels was walking into the squad room with a smile on his face. His smile faltered when he spotted two detectives, Cassidy and Silver. Things were about to get interesting considering that these two detectives were assigned to the Samantha Baker case.

"What can I do for you detectives?"

Detective Cassidy steps forward.

"Officer Daniels, we would like to talk to you in private. Is there somewhere where we can meet?"

Trevor nods his head and directs the detectives to a nearby office. He closes the blinds and the door.

"What can I do for you?"

"We spotted John Steele here last week. We are informing you because you were the Officer assigned to the case and Sam seemed to take a liking to you."

Trevor nods his head.

"Do you think he is going to go after Sam?"

Officer Silver stepped forward.

"We do however, we don't know what he has planned and we don't want to worry the family quite yet."

"I have to tell her. I can't keep something from Sam."

"Officer Daniels do you know Samantha Baker on a personal level?"

Trevor nods his head.

"She's my daughter's girlfriend."

"Look, we have a job to do and it is to protect and serve. We aren't telling the family because he hasn't gotten close enough, but when he does we will be there to stop everything from happening."

Trevor shakes his head.

"What you guys are doing doesn't make sense? What the hell is going on?"

"We can't tell you much more. It's not in our hands anymore. The case has been passed on."

"There is something you aren't telling me. What is it?" Trevor demands.

The door opens and two men come in wearing blue jackets with the word FBI on them.

"I think I can answer that Officer Daniels. John Steele isn't who everybody thought he was."

Kelsey parked in the school parking lot and shut off the car. She turned towards Sam who was already looking at her.

"Are you sure you are ready to tell your dad about us?"

Sam shakes her head.

"No, I'm not, but if I don't today I may never and I can't do that. I want to be free. You are my girlfriend and I know you are going to be there for me, but I have to know where my dad stands because if I don't all I'm ever going to be is afraid."

Kelsey smiles and pushes back a lock of Sam's hair.

"I'm really proud of you, baby, I mean that."

Sam smiles shyly and nods her head. Kelsey nods her head indicating that they should get out of the car.

"Have you heard anything from Casey lately?" Kelsey asks as they reach the front doors of the school.

"No, how about Spencer?"

Kelsey shakes her head. Sam stops them by her locker.

"Maybe that's why," Sam says as she points down the hallway. Kelsey looks where Sam is point and grins.

"Alright Spencer!" Kelsey yells.

Sam laughs when she sees Spencer move away from Casey with a blush on his face. Sam hits Kelsey's shoulder.

"You didn't have to do that."

"Yes, I did. He is my best friend and he didn't tell me that he and Casey were a thing."

Sam raises an eyebrow and grabs the necessary books from her locker.

"Did you tell Spencer that you and I are a thing?"

"No because I wanted to know about how you felt about telling our friends."

Spencer and Casey make their way down the hallway holding hands.

"What's up lovebirds?" Casey says in a whisper.

Kelsey looks at Sam with a raised eyebrow.

"She figured it out."

Spencer grins and bumps fists with Kelsey.

"We got our girls."

Kelsey smiles and nods her head.

"Yes, we did."
