Chapter 16

Sami and Brandon met John and Bo at John's office. She still didn't want anyone to know what her involvement was in this case. They discussed what had been found out and John thanked Brandon for coming but told him he agreed with Sami. Lori had a kid and she needed him. Sami had her family on her side this time and she would be safe.

Sami let out a small snort at that but otherwise remained mum. She walked Brandon out to his car and gave him a hug good-bye, thanking him for everything.

Brandon sighed, he wasn't ready to completely let go of Samantha but at the time it didn't appear that he had much of a choice. He kissed her cheek and left without a word.

Tears in her eyes, Sami got into her car and started to go home. It was then that E.J. called her and told her he needed her for the week out of town. Sami had no choice but to go with him. She couldn't afford her job and she didn't want E.J. to suspect her entirely just yet.

Moaning, she started her car and headed home-knowing she would catch hell from Lucas for going.
