Chapter 13
"Oh James." Cori sighed sitting back down on the steps with him and putting her head on his shoulder. "What are we gonna do? We can't put the kids through this. It's not fair to them."
"Not fair would be putting them in danger. We're trying to keep them out of it." James observed.
"I know that, but maybe it's time we stopped running." She said "Maybe we should stand and fight."
Tony looked at her and said. "I think it's too late for that my love. If I thought for a second that you and kids would be safe, I'd sail straight over to Nassau, turn myself into the authorities and take my chances of proving my innocence! He said angrily. "James no." Cori cried.
"But I don't think any of you would be safer without me." He continued "And maybe that's vain of me, but it's the truth. I think we all stand a much better chance if we stick together and get to the bottom of this."
"You're right darling." Cori said "Of course you're right. We'll stick together and we'll beat whoever it is that's behind this!"
"You know what's strange." Tony said, steepling his fingers underneath his chin "When we were under the floor listening to the police earlier, there was a voice that was incredibly familiar to me. Like someone from long ago, although I just can't place it."
"One of your father's men?" Cori asked
"No I don't think so. It didn't strike that kind of a chord." He said, staring off into the shadows. "Damn it! I just wish I could remember where'd I'd heard it from before!"
John used the special night vision camera he had to snap shots of Tony and the mysterious woman sitting on the steps of the back porch. "Got it." He whispered to Marlena and Roman "That should be enough evidence to send to the ISA and get them down here to arrest my half brother!"
And if it isn't?" Roman asked
"Then we come back here and take the bastard ourselves!
