Emily received an urgent message from Nolan and went over to his house. She immediately was met with a frantic Nolan and Jack the second she walked through the door. Nolan spoke quickly.

"Someone knows."

Emily cocked her brow. "Someone knows what?"

"That you are Amanda."

She felt the usual shock to her system. "What do you mean?"

Nolan led her over to the laptop he had out on the counter. "Someone ran a search for both Emily Thorne and Amanda Clarke. Then someone e-mailed Eli, your foster brother. They wanted pictures of you as a child. Someone is onto you."

Emily sat down. "Well Stephen and his parents and Devin all know the truth. They understand. Afterall they hate the Grayson family just as much as I do. So who else would look this close..."

Jack spoke. "Victoria?"

Emily looked at them. "Possibly."

Nolan spoke up. "So what's the plan?"

Before she could answer Stephen walked in.

"Hey Nolan called me. Is everything okay?"

They quickly filled him in and Stephen paced for a few minutes.

"I'll handle this."

Emily looked at him. "What? No."

"Don't worry. But you can't be involved in this. There are the kids to think about. Just trust me."

She nodded.

The next day Stephen was making a few phone calls from a burner cell. Emily didn't question it. Then in the early evening she noticed that he was acting odd. He let Alex go home early then looked at Emily.

"I think we should take the girls out for the night. Maybe go bowling or maybe to the jump house thingy they like."

She nodded. "Okay."

They loaded up the car and left just as Alex left. Emily had no idea what the night was going hold.

Daniel was working at the office late. He checked his watch and sighed. He had agreed to family dinner with his parents and Sara in the city. He quickly called Sara.

"Hey Sweetie."

He smiled. "Hey how's little man?"

"Fussy. You know how he gets on long car rides."

"Yeah. Are you driving?"

"No your mom is. We should be at the penthouse in half an hour. Then we'll meet up at the restaurant."

"Okay. I'm getting ready to leave here so I may be a little late. Just go ahead and order for me."

"Okay. I love you."

"I love you too."

He hung up and grabbed his coat. Sara meanwhile tucked her phone back into her purse. Victoria checked her rearview mirror and smiled at a sleeping Christopher.

"He looks like a little angel."

Sara glanced back and smiled. "He does."

Sara then heard a loud car horn beep and Victoria trying to swerve her car. Next thing she knew they were being forced into the middle of an intersection by a big black car slamming into them. Then another car couldn't stop in time and slammed into Sara's side. That's when everything went dark. Daniel was almost to the restaurant when he got a phone call. He accepted it and a voice filled his car's phone.

"Is this Mr. Daniel Grayson?"

Daniel cocked his brow. "Yes it is?"

"Your wife's name is Sara Grayson?"

"Yes. Is everything okay?"

"Mr. Grayson my name is Cheryl i'm a nurse at Mercy Hospital. There has been an accident..."

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Daniel ran into the hospital and was met by Charlotte, Michael and Conrad. He looked at them frantic.

"Where are they?"

Charlotte flung her arms around him crying. Conrad spoke with some composure but he looked like he was shaking.

"Your mother and Sara are in surgery. They haven't told us anything about Chris yet."

Daniel felt sick. A doctor walked out and spoke to him.

"Mr. Grayson?"

Daniel turned. "Yes?"

She had Chris in her arms. She handed him to Daniel smiling. "He's a lucky little man. Walked away with only a few bruises from his car seat harness."

Daniel held his son close. He sat down with his family. Charlotte felt Michael grab her hand and looked down at their hands intertwined. When she looked up two doctors in scrubs walked out. One spoke to Conrad.

"Mr. Grayson your wife is out of surgery but she is not out of the woods yet. She has a pretty severe subdural hematoma."

Conrad made a face. "What is that?"

"Think of it like her whole brain is bruised and swelling. She is coming out of anesthesia now and there is no telling what effects this will have on her."

Charlotte spoke tearfully. "Is she in a coma?"

"As of right now no. But I would like to place her in a medically induced coma. That way we can give her brain time to heal and bring her out of it slowly."

Conrad thought for a few minutes. "Do what you have to do to save her."

He nodded and walked away leaving the other doctor. He looked at Daniel.

"Your wife's surgery went well. The rod already going through her left leg had been snapped so we placed a new one and reset the leg. Her arm is broken so I set it with a pin. She also has whiplash and a pretty bad concussion but I am confident that she will make a full recovery."

Daniel nodded. "What about the baby?"

The doctor's face turned grim. "I'm sorry but there was no way to save it. She sustained too much trauma."

Daniel felt his heart drop. He sat back in the chair and held his son close. Charlotte sat down next to him and rubbed his back soothingly. A couple men in suits walked over after a few minutes. One flashed a badge.

"Mr. Grayson I am Detective Rollins do you mind if we ask you a few questions?"

Conrad stepped forward. "Now is not a good time."

Daniel stood and adjusted a sleeping Christopher. "No it's fine. Who did this?"

"We are looking into that. Whoever initiated the crash ran off before anyone saw them. The other driver wasn't able to stop before hitting them. She is being looked at. She didn't get a good look at the other car. But it doesn't appear to be a normal accident. There are no signs that the other car tried to brake."

Charlotte looked appalled. "Someone did this on purpose?"

"That is how it appears. Is their anyone..."

Daniel didn't hesitate. "Emily Thorne. I mean Emily Forbes. She's my ex-wife."

The detective wrote down her name and stepped away. Charlotte looked at him furious.

"Do you really think that Emily would do this to you?"

"Not to me. To Mom. Mom was looking into Emily's past."

Charlotte rolled her eyes. "What else is there to know?"

"Mom thinks that she is Amanda Clarke."

Charlotte laughed. "That's impossible. Amanda died. Emily was her best friend. That's it."

"That's what I thought too. But it is some coincidence that a few days after mom starts looking into her past she is in a car accident."

"Emily would never hurt Sara and Chris."

"You don't know how far she would go and neither do I."
