Chapter 18

"I wish you were coming with me," Anna said her arms around Robert's neck.

"I do too but it just makes more sense that Dimitri takes you." Robert's hands were slowly rubbing her back.

"I want to know if you hear anything from our team."

Robert grinned, "Oh, it's our team now, is it?"

Anna smiled up at him, then kissed him, "Yes it is."

"If I hear anything important I will get a message to Dimitri. Does that work for you?"

"I guess that will work."

Alex and Dimitri were both waiting by the door of the cottage. "Anna I hate to break this up but there are several tests they need to run on you today," Alex said smiling at Dimitri. "I am so glad he found her, that he's here and brought Robin here. They were just what she needed."

"I agree, for twins you two aren't really that much alike, now that she knows who she is," he noted.

"No, but they're good differences. I love that she is so happy."

Robin walked into the living room and grinned, "Would you go get your test done so I know if I have to ask my aunt and uncle if I can sleep up at their house tonight."

"Listen to your daughter, she is very right we want those results to be very good," Robert smiled and kissed her once more before he walked her over to the door.

Anna smiled at all of them then she and Dimitri left together, "I just put on a fresh pot of coffee, would either of you like a cup?" Robin offered.

Alex put her hand on Robert's back, "That sounds wonderful. Come on Robert you need to think about something other than Anna's checkup and what you're friends are doing."

"Yeah, I know." Then they followed Robin into the kitchen.

...

Charlotte stared at the three men in disbelieve, what the hell was going on and where was Jacob? Jess that silly girl is useless and is only here because her brother is. She watched as two of the men moved further into the room the third one staying out in the hall. "You want to know who we are. I'm not sure any of our names will mean anything to you." Sean said not taking his eyes off of her their guns all still trained on her. "Jones, won't mean much, and I'm sure Frisco is the type of name you would remember."

"Your name is Frisco?" she asked looking at Sean.

"No, that would be me. Frisco Jones WSB."

Charlotte shallowed, "Oh, WSB?" Then she looked back at Sean. "Are you WSB as well?"

"I still have my credentials. Sean Donely, I guess the black Iris may have actually heard that name before but that doesn't mean she'd remember it."

"Donely, I have heard that name. What are you doing here?"

"We're here to arrest you," Frisco told her bluntly.

"So who's your other friend? Is he shy that he doesn't want to come in and talk to me?"

"No not shy, but we aren't amateurs either. Mac is just watching to make sure none your friends come back."

"Mac what? Is he WSB as well?"

"No, he's just police commissioner in Port Charles New York. His last name you might have heard before, Scorpio. See Mac's here because he heard about what you're trying to do to his sister-in-law."

"I don't even know who that is."

"Oh but you do. Charlotte Devane, have you ever heard the names Donely Scorpio and Devane together, put them in whatever order you want?"

She had and it was all really starting to sink in as to what these three men were here for. They were here because of the attempts on Anna's life. How had they traced that back to her, how did they know who she was. "What does any of this have to do with me."

"Enough chit-chat, just get the cuffs on her and let's get out of here," Mac called from the hall.

"He's right Sean let's wrap this up and get out of here."

"You see Charlotte two of my oldest friends want to get back to their life together and as long as you're out here wanting to harm Anna they can't do that."

Frisco stepped forward, lowered his gun and cuffed Charlotte. She didn't put any fight, she still assumed it was only a matter of time before her men came in and put an end to this. Frisco frisked her then read her, her rights and started to lead her out of the room. Just as they got to the door Mac suddenly turned and pointed his gun down the hall.

"Oh, hey man I'm not a part of this shit. My asshole brother dragged me up here," Jess said as she put up her hands. Mac nodded into the room and Frisco lead Charlotte out of the room followed by Sean. Seeing this made Jess start laughing, "You mean old bitch," more laughter. "Oh, you have no idea how great this is. What did she do? Did she plot to kill someone? Did she kill someone? She's mean enough to have." Jess started following them down the stairs.

When they got to the bottom of the stairs Sean turned, "You wouldn't happen to know where the keys to the car outside are would you?"

"Um, yeah they should be in that dish on the counter."

"Thanks," Sean went and grabbed them. "We'll leave it out on the highway. We just want to be gone before those other men get back."

"Yeah cool, I just want to go home so if you take that old bag away then I can."

"Was your brother the one that answered the door?" Sean asked.

"Yeah, oh what did you do to him?"

"Just knocked him out and tied him up, he'll be fine, he'll just have a headache when he wakes up."

"You knocked him out, that's so cool. So what do I do? Like should you guys tie me up or something?"

Sean looked at her, "Are you planning on calling those other guys to come back here?"

"No," she scoffed.

"Are you going to try to stop us in any way?"

"No, I just want to go home."

"Then go back up to your room for a while, if you hear movement tell whoever it is that we knock you out too and that you don't know what happened after that," Sean told her.

"Yeah alright. This is so cool, I can't wait to tell Stacy about this. She's my best friend and we haven't seen each other in like a month because my brother dragged me up here."

"I'm sure she will love to hear all about this but we really need to leave now. Thanks for your help, Jess." Then Sean turned and followed the other's out the front door, quickly they climbed into the car sitting there then drove out of the yard. Mac was driving and dropped the other thee off by their SUV and the took the car out to the highway and parked in on the side of the road leaving the keys in the glovebox and it unlocked. He had just gotten out of the car when their SUV pulled up, he jumped in and it pulled away, all without anyone seeing any of it.

...

Anna felt like this day would never end, test after test and there was still one more they wanted to do. She was sitting with Dimitri while they waited. "I just want this to be over with," she said not really to Dimitri.

"Don't you want to make sure they haven't missed anything and that you are really fine?"

"Well yeah, but they haven't told me that yet. They just look at results nod then mumble things I can't hear and wouldn't understand if I could."

Dimitri could tell she was getting frustrated. "They said there was only one more."

"Yeah, but how long before they actually tell me what all these tests have told them?"

"They'll tell you before we leave here, I'm sure they will."

The door opened and a doctor walked in, "Alright we are ready to take you up for your MRI. After I've had a chance to take a look at all the results I'll come talk to you about everything we found out today then your husband can take you home."

"So this is almost over?"

"Yeah, almost," the doctor said then started wheeling her chair out of the room.
