Chapter 7

Sami decided that she had better go for a walk to calm down and figure out what to do. A chip! That explained so much.

But what was she supposed to do and who would believe her? She wasn't sure if anyone would. She wished she could go to Lucas but she knew how that would turn out. He wouldn't believe her. He never did.

Then she remembered or thought of the other people who's lives they were destroying. She couldn't help them if she didn't know the big picture.

And what was it that they had said? That she had inadvertently saved the lives of everyone including Kate? Now that, she was having problems believing.

So, the question was what to do about it? In her heart, Sami knew there was only one thing that she could do so she pulled out her cell and dialed. There was only one person that she could trust to help her bring down Stefano DiMera.

…………….

"Thank you so much Brandon. I'll see you in a couple of days."

"Running away to Brandon are we?"

Sami turned to see Lucas and Will. Her heart cringed as she looked at Will. She refused to let her thoughts turn to Lucas.

"Will, give your father and me a minute please."

Will recognized the look in his mom's eyes and left.

"What are you up to now Sami?"

"A lot actually. But you wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Now there's a shocker."

"I don't want to fight Lucas. I just want you to remember this conversation when I get back and I have proof that I was innocent. And once again, you didn't believe me."

"Innocent of what?" he asked incrediously.

"Of everything. I know I'm not making sense but I just overheard a conversation between two people and my life is never going to be the same again. When I get back, I'll have the proof I need and then I'm going to share it with everyone then leave Salem for good."

"What nonsense are you talking about Sami?"

Lucas almost started to feel sorry for her as he saw tears in her eyes. Almost. "You know, I was walking home today and I was really letting myself have it. Everything that my mom said yesterday…but then after I heard this conversation today. I know what I've always known. No one has ever treated me the same that they have treated anyone else. Everyone else can be forgiven of their crimes but never me. Everyone else can blame someone else but never me. I deserved more and I'm going to find it."

Then Sami left and Lucas could have sworn that he heard her say, "But I wish you were there with me," as she left but it was so quiet he wasn't sure.

A moment after she had left, Will came up to him. "What tale did mom try to spin this time?"

"Surprisingly, no tale at all. She just said that she was leaving to find proof that she was innocent and when she did she would be back to tell all then she would leave again. Permanently."

"Do you think she was telling the truth?"

Lucas looked down at Will and saw the glimmer of hope in his eyes that his mom was off to find proof. "I don't know Will. I don't know."
