Chapter Seventeen: I Got You
It didn't take long for Trevor to call in the Calvary. After reading the text on Sam's phone it didn't take a rocket scientist to understand where the text came from. The only problem with calling in the Calvary was that Brooke and Julian had not been informed that the FBI had taken over to case.
Sam was in Kelsey's arms. Brooke was sitting down next to them while Trevor leaned against the front door. Julian was fidgeting in his spot on the couch.
"Can someone please tell me what the HELL is going on?"
"Mr. Baker, my name is Susan Berry. I am an Agent for the FBI."
"It's Julian, but you can't come into my house and tell me your title and throw your badge around and not tell me what is going on. Obviously it has something to do with Sam. Now tell me what it is!"
Agent Berry steps forward and smiles gently at Sam.
"I think it's time I tell you who John Steele really is."
Sam turns in Kelsey's arms to pay attention.
"Ten years ago in Wilmington Leon Sheets raped and murdered 3 teenage girls. He was seventeen. His victims had brown hair and brown eyes. His first victim was my daughter Mindy Berry."
Sam rests her head against her girlfriend's shoulder as she listened to Agent Berry's shoulder. She managed to put the pieces together herself.
"I'm his only living victim. He changed his name, lied about his age. Got close to me, charmed my parents and took everything away from me. And now he wants to kill me."
Kelsey wraps her arms around Sam tighter than before. Brooke's tears fall from her eyes and Julian brings his wife into his arms.
"You're right Samantha. He's here in Tree Hill and we are going to find him. From now on we have to keep a close eye on you. We don't want you to be victim number 4."
"Why ten years?" Trevor asks from the door. "Why did he wait ten years?"
"I don't know, but we've kept tabs on him all these years. He was seventeen and he was sloppy. He's just smart and knows how to run, until now. He made a mistake with Sam and a mistake that saved her life."
"As of right now, but if he finds me, I'm as good as dead just like your daughter."
"SAMANTHA!" Brooke screams out.
Sam gets out of Kelsey's arms and goes into her bedroom and slams the door shut. Brooke turns to Agent Berry with an apology.
"I am so sorry."
"It's alright. Sam was a lot like my daughter. I'm sure Mindy would have been the exact same way. I just hope that Sam doesn't suffer the fate that my Mindy did."
Kelsey gets up from the couch and heads into Sam's room. She didn't feel like sitting with a bunch of adults. Trevor watches as his daughter leaves the room.
"What is our plan of action here?" Trevor mentions as he moves away from the door. "What exactly do you have planned?"
"We try and find him or wait it out."

A few minutes earlier
Sam enters her room with tears in her eyes. She hated her life at the moment. John or Leon or whatever his name was is still after her and she was afraid for her life. She wouldn't admit it to anyone though, but the way that Kelsey was holding onto her she knew on some level that Kelsey knew.
Sam snaps her head to the closet when she hears a noise. Slowly Sam walks over to the closet and opens it up. Sam freezes instantly.
"Sshhh, don't say a word, baby. Not one word."
John walks out of the closet and holds his knife towards Sam's throat.
The door to Sam's room opens and Kelsey slowly walks inside. Kelsey closes the door and turns around she gasps at what she sees.
"You say a word and I'll slit her throat," John warns as she holds the knife towards Sam's neck.
Kelsey stands still and stays looking at her girlfriend.
"What do you want?" Kelsey says shakily.
"Sam, of course, but the only way I can do that is if you distract those cops out there."
"I'm not leaving Sam."
John scratches at Sam's throat with the knife causing Sam to whimper.
"Okay, okay, just don't hurt her," Kelsey pleads. "What do you want?"
"I need you to go back out there and tell them that Sam is lying down and does not want to be disturbed so that I can get her out of here and if you don't I'll kill her and then I'll kill you so think wisely Kelsey Daniels and make your choice."

Kelsey slowly walks out of Sam's bedroom a little shakily. She hastily wipes at her eyes and sits down on the couch. Brooke notices Kelsey's demeanor.
"Kelsey, are you okay?"
"Um…yeah, I just…no I'm not. You have to go outside," Kelsey commands as she looks up at Agent Berry.
Trevor runs outside along with Agent Berry. They walk to the end of the driveway and see a blue pick-up racing down the road. Agent Berry pulls out her phone.
"This is Agent Berry. I need an APB on a blue pick-up possibly a Ford. He's kidnapped seventeen year old Samantha Baker."
Trevor walks back into the house and Kelsey is in tears on the couch.
"He was going to kill her if I didn't do what he said. I don't know how he got in."
"It's okay Kelsey, we will find Sam," Julian reassures.
"How can you be so calm about this?" Kelsey asks. "You don't sound so worried."
"We're scared Kelsey, we want Sam back, but we have to let the police handle this, the FBI handle this. We have to be cooperative. Trust me Kelsey, we want our little girl back," Brooke finishes with tears in her eyes.
