Chapter Nineteen: Return Home
"Okay, so what are we thinking right now?" Agent Berry asks once she sent her team to go through the old case files.
"He's going to finish what he planned with your daughter only using my girlfriend instead," Kelsey says as she rubs her hands in her eyes.
"There is no way he can do that. Marriage, Sam's only seventeen."
Brooke, Julian, and Kelsey look up at Agent Berry with sorrowful looks.
"Until tomorrow," Kelsey utters. "Sam turns eighteen tomorrow."
"Our window of opportunity has severely dropped. I'll get my team started right away. I promise we will find Sam, I promise all of you."
Kelsey looks at Agent Berry sharply.
"Can you promise me she won't be married?"
Agent Berry doesn't say a word.

Sam looks towards the bedroom door when she hears it open. She glares at John as John smirks at her.
"Look at you sexy, all tied up on our bed."
"Go to hell," Sam says with a laugh. "You're pathetic. Do you want to know why?"
John glares at Sam as he steps forward.
"Why?"
"Because you have to tie me to a bed, you couldn't make me stay otherwise."
"I would be quiet if I were you Samantha. You wouldn't want anything to happen to your little girlfriend would you?"
"You wouldn't?"
"I would, now if you don't want anything to happen to dear old Kelsey then tomorrow when we go to the chapel, you're going to say I do and after we will come back here and start our family," John says as he rubs Sam's stomach.
Sam closes her eyes and nods her head.
"It's okay baby, we will be man and wife soon."

"Agent Berry, we may have a lead."
Agent Berry stands up from her spot in the living room of the Baker household.
"Excuse me for one moment."
Agent Berry leaves the room and exits the house.
"What do you think the lead is?" Kelsey questions Brooke and Julian. Her father had left earlier for his shift at work.
"I don't know, but I just want them to find her before tomorrow," Brooke says as she makes her way to the kitchen. "She's too young to be married."
Julian shakes his head.
"No, she's just not marrying the right person."
Kelsey looks in Julian's eyes and he nods his head indicting that the right person for Sam was her. It made her giddy inside despite what was going on in their life.
"What were you going to do for her birthday?" Kelsey asks.
"We were going to go to the casino, let her blow some money."
"Do you think we should contact the news or something? I mean wouldn't it help us?"
Agent Berry chose this time to walk back into the house.
"No, it would just make things worse for us and harder to find Sam. I may have lead and I'm going to follow up on it, okay? Now I know what I am about to say is going to be hard, but it's important," at everyone's nod Agent Berry continues. "I need you to stay here and not contact anybody. I'm going to find your daughter. I promise you that. I'm going to get this guy."

Sam stood at the end of the altar with a frown on her face. Sam was wearing a white dress and John was wearing a tux. Sam looks at the reverend and frowns. He was just an innocent bystander in this and he has no clue it's forced.
When Sam had pictured her wedding day it wouldn't have been this. It wouldn't have been with John. Recently it was of Kelsey, she hoped it would be Kelsey.
Sam was slowly getting more and more nervous because she knew the minute that this thing was final she would be forced to do something she didn't want to do ever with him.
"Are you two ready to start?"
John grabs Sam's hand.
"Yes, we are."
Sam just sighs.
-DG-
"Do we have confirmation?" Agent Berry says in her mic.
"We have identified it to be them Agent Berry. It looks like we can stop this wedding as well."
"That's good, but I'm calling you all off. I'm going in there."
"Agent Berry, that's not really protocol. I think you're getting way to personal in this."
"Of course it's personal, Agent Jones, but I also made a promise to this family and I intend to keep it besides I promised myself that once I found this guy I'd retire," Agent Berry draws out her gun and enters the side door. "Let me handle this."
Agent Berry keeps her back to the wall as she slowly walks towards John and Sam.
"Does anyone object to this wedding?"
Agent Berry steps forward with her gun raised.
"FBI, don't move!"
Sam turns and faces the Agent with a hopeful look on her face. John chuckles as he moves closer to Sam. The reverend had ran away scared.
"Well if it isn't Susan, how's your daughter?" John says with a smirk.
Susan Berry flinches at the sound of John's voice.
"Let Sam go John! You're under arrest."
John shakes his head.
"Nope, I'm going to marry her like I would have with your daughter."
Agent Berry steps closer and John pulls out his gun.
"Drop the weapon John! I mean it. Drop it and we can fix all of this."
"Yeah, right, I go with you and I get the death penalty."
"You deserve it; now let Sam walk over here."
John shakes his head and grabs Sam hard causing her to cry. He places Sam in front of him with the gun aimed at Sam's head.
"Who has the upper hand now?"
Agent Berry walks a few more steps.
"Tell me John, how does it feel to kill innocent girls?"
"Innocent!" John screams. "They're not innocent. This one's a lesbian. You're daughter was just a slut." Agent Berry grips her gun tighter. "Oh yeah, Mindy was amazing, hmm, definitely a keeper except she was too clingy."
"Please let me go," Sam cries out.
"John, if you don't let Sam go more FBI agents are going to come running through those doors and when they do it's all over."
"I could just end Sam's life now. It wouldn't make much difference to me."
Sam looks at Agent Berry and mouths the words sorry to her before Sam does something incredible stupid. She stomps on John's foot and elbows him in the gut. John grunts in pain and as he does that Sam moved away a little bit.
For Susan it was like everything went in slow motion. Sam moved away from John after injuring him. John was gripping the gun. The next thing Susan hears is a gun go off and she knows it isn't hers.
Agent Berry runs forward at John's freeze.
"John, don't you fucking move."
John drops the gun as he sees Sam on the ground. She was lying on her stomach and she wasn't moving.
"I killed her."
"I need back up now!"
Agent Berry rushes towards Sam once John is in hand cuffs.
"Sam, honey, can you hear me?"
Sam groans and turns her head.
"How are you doing?"
"I'm fine, I tripped."
Agent Berry rolls her eyes and helps Sam up from the ground. John glares over at Sam.
"You tricked me you bitch."
Sam walks over to John with confidence.
"I hope they give you the death penalty."
John spits in her face and after Sam wipes it up she punches him in the eye. The Agents do nothing to stop Sam.
"She just assaulted me, what are you going to do?"
"I didn't see anything," Agent Berry says before taking Sam's hand and walking out of the church. Her nightmare was finally over. She found her daughter's killer and saved Sam at the same time. It was a good day.

After taking her statement, Agent Berry gave Sam and FBI t-shirt and sweats so that Sam didn't have to wear the dress anymore. Sam had gotten a cut on her forehead that needed a few stitches so after she was stitched up, Agent Berry drove Sam home.
Sam walks into her house to see Brooke, Julian and Kelsey waiting with anticipation. Brooke was the one that say her first and tears instantly came to her eyes. Brooke grabbed Julian's attention and they rushed forward and brought Sam into their arms. After reassuring that their daughter was safe they let her go to talk to Agent Berry. Kelsey came forward with tears in her eyes. Sam hugged her immediately and let Kelsey cry into her shoulder. Sam cried too.
