Chapter 2

Half an hour later they all were working on searching traces from Sam. Danny and Elena were tracking her records while Martin, Jack and Vivian were interrogating her neighbors. They didn't say anything different than what they said to Martin before. Sam had left with a man. Between fifty and sixty years old, official dressed, dark hair with some silver in it. Nothing particular. They had taken his car, but nobody remembered the number. Dark painted car with nothing noticeable on it. Martin checked her thing again. There were no signs from struggle. Everything was on its place. Only her clothes were gone. Or at least some of them. But nothing other. Jack hoped that Danny and Elena had better luck.

Back at the office they all waited to hear the news from Danny and Elena. They weren't good either.

"Sam didn't use her cell phone since Friday. All her calls for the last three months are from and to us." Elena said. "The strange part is that all her bank accounts and her credit cards have been closed. In Friday they were fine, but today they are gone. There is nothing left. For the past three months everything is normal and suddenly this." Danny added.

They all were confused. How this was possible?

"So everything started in Friday." Jack said. "What happened in Friday?"

They all looked at each other.

"I can't remember anything special." Vivian nodded.

"Neither do I." confirm Elena.

"Me neither." Jack said.

Danny didn't say anything, just shook his head. Martin remembered something.

"In the bar, when we went together after work..." He said.

Flashback

"Sam, are you okay?" Martin asked.

She was staring to the corner of the bar. He didn't saw who is watching but there was fear in her eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine." She said quickly. "I just need to go to the bathroom."

When Sam came back ten minutes later she was obviously calmer. After another ten minutes she decided to go. Martin offered to take her home but she refused. She told him she preferred to be alone. She still looked scared.

That was the last time he saw her.

End of flashback

There, in the bar something was scared her.

"Martin do you know who she was staring at?" Jack asked.

"No, I didn't notice anybody in particular." Martin shook his head. "But she definitely was scared. But why she decided to leave alone?"

"And who was the man with her in her house?" Vivian added.

"Maybe we should call to her mother?" Danny suggested.

Till the end of the day they found out that Samantha's mother was missing just like Sam. No phone calls, no credit cards, no bank accounts, nothing.

"How this is possible?" Vivian asked. "I checked Sam's file. There is almost nothing for her there before Quantico, like she never existed."

"Maybe she changed her name?" Danny suggested.

Martin was upset. Sam was missing and they didn't have any clue how to find her. And it seemed that they didn't even know her. And her mother disappeared in the same time. What was happened?

"Go home and take some rest." Jack said. "There is nothing we can do now."

At first Martin wanted to stay but then he realized that Jack was right. There was nothing they could do in this moment. So he came home. His apartment now looked so cold and empty. He remembered all the times when they were there together. But he gave up and let her go. But she still was his friend. More than a year after they broke up their friendship was really good.

Martin checked his mail. Bills and advertisements. A little white envelope caught his attention. He opened it. It was from Sam.

"Dear Martin,

Probably you already know that I had to leave. I'm writing this just to say "goodbye". And not only "goodbye". There are a lot of things that I never told you. Maybe I had to. I just didn't want you to be hurt. Now it's too late. I am leaving, probably forever. So I just wanted to tell you that I love you. I always did. I know I hurt you and I am really sorry about that. Can you forgive me? Probably we will never meet again but I will carry you in my heart forever.

I also want to tell you that I am happy that you are recovering from your addiction. Keep going. It will become easier with the time.

I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Love,

Sam."

Martin read the letter again and again. The tears were falling down his face. She was gone…
