"So, what do you think?" Sarah asked, her fingers gripping his shirt tightly.
"I guess you've really thought about this," Nathan said.
"Yes. I'm so afraid for myself and the baby, Nathan. I don't want Darcy to try anything else against you, me, or the baby," Sarah said.
"Let's think about it and pray on it. We can't move until you have the baby though," Nathan said.
"I know. And that's in another six months," Sarah said.
"Why don't you just rest and we'll think of something," Nathan suggested, settling his wife back into her pillows.
"Okay. We also need to talk with Sam if we move. He may want to marry Lisa and have her move with us," Sarah said.
"I know. Just rest, Sweet Cakes," Nathan said, kissing her lips gently. Nathan watched her sleep for a long time before falling asleep himself.
Sarah fell back asleep as soon as Nathan laid her back among her pillows. Nathan always made her feel safe holding her
like this. Sarah decided that instead of giving birth in a hospital, she was going to deliver at home. She couldn't
risk having the baby get kidnapped like with what happened to Lori's kids.
Sarah loved how he called her sweetcakes, his own personal nickname just for her. Nathan was so good to her and gentle.
Most guys weren't like him. Sarah snuggled up against his chest, breathing in his cologne.
Lisa Duke was babysitting for Uncle Bo's kids that afternoon. The kids were at the table drawing and coloring. Danny
and Amy were such great kids and she had alot of fun babysitting them.
While reading a mystery novel, her mind kept going back to Sam. Sam and her began dating not long after he reentered
Sarah's life. Sam was cute, and a gentleman, how he ever saw her beautiful, Lisa never knew.
After awhile of drawing and painting, Danny suddenly whined. "I'm hungry" then Amy said "Me too".
Lisa's heart began to pound. She was a terrible cook. What if she burnt the place down? Thinking quick she said
"Let's order a pizza then". Lisa ordered a large figuring Sam would show up.
"Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy pizza!" yelled the kids.
Sam came up to Luke and Lori Duke's door. Since he had been freed from Darcy he was glad to be out and about. For some reason Darcy would never let him leave the mansion and if he did she was always with him. Of course she always came up with a good lie for it.
Of course that was the past. Sam had found a new girl to love him. Lisa would never tell anyone how much she loved anyone. She was shy and quiet from being kidnapped when she was three. Sam could understand that though. Darcy had kidnapped him and technically forced him to kiss her and say he loved her.
Lisa looked happy to see him as she opened the door. "Hi, Sam," Lisa said, giving him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Hi, Lisa," Sam said.
"Since I can't cook I ordered a pizza for my cousins. Do you want some?" Lisa asked as sam sat at the table.
"Sounds good. I haven't had a pizza in a long time. Darcy ate like a rabbit and she fed all her servants vegetables," Sam said as Lisa fixed him a root beer.
"Probably so she could drug you. If you didn't cook your own meals then it would be easy to slip drugs in your food and drinks," Lisa said, sitting next to him and taking his hand in hers.
"You're so beautiful," Sam said, causing her to blush slightly.
"Sam, you've only known me for a couple of weeks," Lisa protested as Sam picked up her hand and pressed it to his lips.
"I know, but now that I know that I'm not on drugs I know that I love you," Sam said.
"Why? I'm not rich like Darcy," Lisa said.
"I know that. But you have something that Darcy doesn't. You're nice. Darcy drugged me. You would never do that," Sam said, kissing her forehead gently.
The doorbell rang then. "I think that's the pizza," Lisa said, standing up.
Lisa went to go answer the door and sure enough, the pizza did come. Thank goodness for fast food Lisa thought. If there
wasn't fast food, people like Lisa who didn't know how to cook would starv. The Pizza felt hot and smelled good as she
brought it to the table.
"Amy, Danny, the pizza is here!" she said. Just then, the kids put up their drawing stuff and were ready to eat. Bo's
kids liked Sam. Sam always played with them especially Danny since both of them liked Baseball.
Lisa sat back next to Sam holding hands with him as she ate. Sam made her feel good about herself when most of the time
she was unsure of how she felt about herself. Lisa appreciated his comments earlier about how she wasn't like Darcy. Lisa
wanted to bring Sam happiness. She wanted him to know not all girls were like Darcy.
Lisa knew she had only known Sam for two weeks. But she felt like she was in love and that it was love at first site.
Before Sam, Lisa had never had a boyfriend. She had felt embarassed when she told Sam that and was even more embarassed
when she said she had never kissed anyone. Sam had been good natured about it, and showed her how to kiss him. He kissed
her, and she then kissed him back.
After supper, the kids got distracted by going into the livingroom to play games. Lisa and Sam were alone on the couch.
Lisa sat in his lap snuggled up to his chest "So, Sam, how are things going with your sister?"
Sam ran his hand up and down her arm and breathed in the smell of vanilla. He loved Lisa's smell. It always made him want to kiss her. "Nervous. She's scared that Darcy would try anything to get the baby," Sam said.
"I can't blame her. She stuffed her in a freezer and then tried to kill her on Sarah's wedding day. And she tried to get you to help her," Lisa said.
"I know. But I don't think Darcy would stop. She doesn't take the hint that Nathan doesn't love her. She'll do anything to have Nathan; even kill. And she'll have people do her dirty work for her," Sam said.
"I'm sorry that Darcy did those things to you," Lisa said, kissing his cheek gently.
"I know. The worst thing about this was I truly thought I loved her. I had no idea that she was forcing me to love her. That she was making me her slave," Sam said, kissing her lips gently.
"How does it feel to really love someone and not have them drugging you?" Lisa asked after the kiss.
"It feels great. Now let's go check on your cousins. I promised them I'd play Battleship with Danny," Sam said, giving her one more kiss.
They walked hand in hand to the play room and played games until Layla came.
Both Sam and Lisa took turns playing video games with the kids until Layla came home around 5. Lisa had smiled at Sam
the whole time mainly because he was great with kids, and Amy and Danny liked him.
Lisa smiled at the memory of when she first met Sam it had been a few weeks ago, but it only felt like just yesturday.
Lisa had been watching Bo's kids at the time at a family cookout. She had been playing soccer with the kids, and volleyball
in the water.
(Flashback)
Upon meeting Sam, Lisa had been very shy. They exchanged hellos and smiled at one another. Lisa couldn't keep her eyes
off him. Sam did most of the talking.
They were finally alone when the adults went inside. Most of them knew they liked one another, so they were given space.
LIsa was in the middle of decorating a cake that had been taken out of the oven when Sam walked into the kitchen looking
for her. "Lisa, do you have a boyfriend?" Sam asked, he wanted to ask Lisa out, she seemed like a nice girl.
"No, I've never had one before either", Lisa said a bit timidly as she finished up the cake.She couldn't look at Sam as
she said this.
"Why not? You're pretty enough," Sam said, his words causing her to blush slightly.
"I never really thought of myself as pretty," Lisa said, her voice barely a whisper.
Sam watched her as she decorated the cake. The girl was shy and quiet. Sam wondered if something had happened to her to make her this way. Every so often he felt like he wanted to take her in his arms and kiss that worried look off her face.
"So, what happened to you?" Sam asked as she set the cake on the counter.
"What do you mean?" Lisa asked.
"Well, the rest of your family is outgoing and you're not," Sam said.
"Nothing worth talking about," Lisa said, avoiding his eyes.
"That bad, huh?" Sam asked.
"Yeah. I'm trying to forget about it and it's hard," Lisa said, a lone tear streaking down her face. Sam felt sorry for her. Whatever had happened to her she was still in pain.
Lisa got out the papercups and paperplates they would need for the barbeque and cake. She was trying to decide if she
should tell Sam what had happened. She still had nightmares about it, and nightmares that one day, Jenna would come back
and take her away from her mom and dad again. And do what only God knows what to her.
Like Sarah, Lisa tried to get rid of those thoughts by playing the drums often, writing songs, and peotry. Lisa wanted
to be a famous writer someday.
Lisa looked at Sam who gazed at her adoringly. Right away, Lisa knew Sam was falling head over heels in love with her.
And she felt like she could trust him. "Alright, I'll tell you what happened. When I was three, and Will was 4 or 5,
we both were kidnapped from our parents by my dad's former ex-girlfriend who was obsessed.We were gone for many years
up until we reached our late teens and decided to find our real parents. Needless to say, Our adopted mother then,
wasn't happy about that. She even tried to kill my birth mother while she sang in concert! I felt bad about that
for days. I'm shy because of that happening to me. It's hard for me to trust alot of people, and now I'm still
a bit shy around my own family. When Jenna kidnapped us, she dyed our hair and almost nearly ruined mine and told us bunch
of lies".
It felt good to tell her fears to someone even if she didn't realy know them very well. Lisa felt like Sam listened to
her and understood her.
Sam was stunned. Like him she had been taken and forced to love someone who wasn't even her mother. Sam was still trying to get over Darcy himself like Lisa was trying to get over the woman who'd taken her. At night he had nightmares about Darcy kissing him and him kissing her back.
"I understand, Lisa," Sam said, putting a comforting hand on her slender shoulder.
"Thanks, Sam. Will has pretty much gotten over it. Alicia has helped some to alleviate the pain of that time," Lisa said, a brief smile on her pretty lips.
"What about you? Did you ever get over it?" Sam asked.
"No. I went to church with my parents and I even went to a counselor. I was even on medication for awhile until I realized it was making me an addict. It's like my memories are so painful and the fact that Jenna damaged my hair doesn't help," Lisa said.
"Why did she dye it to begin with?" Sam wanted to know, picking up a silky lock of her hair.
"I don't know. Will said that she was trying to make it where our father would never find us. She was like Darcy in that respect. I understand why Sarah's so freaked out over her," Lisa said.
"You're so beautiful," Sam said, forgetting momentarily what they were talking about.
"Excuse me?" Lisa said. her eyebrows were arched way up.
"I think I'm in love with you," Sam confessed, caressing her face gently with his hands. Lisa's eyes filled with tears and she kissed his hands gently.
Sam was in love with her? Lisa could hardly believe it. As Sam continued to caress her face with his hands, Lisa just gazed
up at him getting lost in those brown eyes of his. She was falling in love with him to, hard.
Sam was close enough to kiss her now if he wanted to which Lisa wouldn't mind, she just didn't know how she would respond
back. Would she be a good kisser? Lisa had never kissed a guy in her life. She liked to kiss Will on the cheek from time
to time, but that was much different than kissing someone on the lips.
Lisa felt her heart begin to pound and to flutter. It always did that when she was near Sam. Now as he held her close,
Lisa's heart pounded wildly.
"I think I'm in love with you too.", said Lisa as he continued to caress her. "Sam, I know you want to kiss me and I want
you to kiss me too, but I , um, have never kissed a guy on the lips before". Lisa felt so incredibly stupid after she
said that. She expected Sam to look at her like she was some freak, or even possibly run away and not want to be her
boyfriend.
Lisa looked at Sam to see his face expression. She really was nervous at what he had to say. Would he think she was stupid?
Lisa hoped not. She really was in love with Sam. And he felt the same about her. Her heart pounded wildly as he moved closer
holding her closer in his arms.
"It's okay, Lisa. I never kissed a girl either until Darcy. But I think I would like to kiss you from now on," Sam said, stroking her face gently.
"I just don't know if I'm a good kisser. I kiss my relatives on the cheek, but that doesn't say much," Lisa said, wrapping her thin arms around his shoulders.
"If you love me and will marry me can I kiss you?" Sam asked.
"Okay," Lisa said as Sam pressed his lips to hers.
"Wow!" Sam said as they broke apart.
"I know. That was incredible!" Lisa said, fixing herself a glass of water.
"It never felt right when I kissed Darcy. Kissing you feels right," Sam said breathlessly.
"How did it not feel right with Darcy?" Lisa asked.
"It was too rushed and soon when she started kissing me. Like all of a sudden marrying and kissing me were all she wanted to do. And now I realize that I love you more than I ever did love Darcy, Lisa," Sam said, kissing her forehead gently.
end flashback
Sam watched as Lisa played Barbies' with Amy. Lisa wasn't as shy around him as she was when they'd first met. Of course Sam had proposed already and she had said yes! Even kissing him now wasn't as uncomfortable as it had once been. Looking at Lisa made him fall more and more in love with her.
The afternoon came and went all too quickly for Lisa. She had to get home and help with supper. She had even invited
Sam over that night, and agreed to see him at her house then. They kissed some more inside the Duke home and even when
they were outside of it. Sam had said he needed to go change at home, and Lisa nodded. She needed to do the same to, So
They kissed again.
Lisa got on her bike and rode it the rest of the way to her house. Lisa liked long rides on her bike to her house and she
enjoyed the fresh air and the cool wind around her face.
At first, Lisa didn't see the car following her around a corner, a green sadan. Lisa kept peddaling like normal thinking
nothing was wrong. Then suddenly, Lisa got the feeling something wasn't right, and that somebody was following her. Lisa
turned slightly and saw the green sadan. When the car pulled up closer, Lisa saw that it was Jenna!
Lisa's heart began to pound and not in a good way. Jenna rolled down the window "Lisa, could we talk? I want to explain
some things to you".
Lisa looked at her "NO! Get away from me! YOu nearly ruined my hair, and you kept me away from my parents! You lied to me
all those years! I trusted you!" There was anger in Lisa's eyes that Jenna had never seen before.
"I know that baby, and I want to make it up to you; I should have told you the truth, but, I was only trying to protect
you!" said Jenna.
"Protect me, ha! I think not! You don't protect someone by taking them away from their family for so many years! You
don't kidnap someone else's children and make them your own! Get lost, Jenna!" Lisa tried to speed away on her bike.
Jenna glared in Lisa's direction. Since Lisa wasn't willing to come with her on her own, Jenna was going to have to go
to the extremes again. She would kidnap LIsa to pay the Dukes back for taking her children away from her and turning them
against her. Jenna continued to follow Lisa around the corner.
Lisa pedaled and went to a nearby store so she could call Sam for help. Both of her parents were at work and fixing to
get home. Lisa didn't want to worry them, so she decided to call Sam. Lisa didn't know that Jenna had also pulled up at
the same store and was still following her only this time, with a gun.
Lisa frantically dialed Sam's cell number. It rang twice before he answered.
"Hello?" asked Sam with his warm kind voice.
"Sam, it's me, Lisa, look, I think I'm in trouble. Jenna has been following me, I think she want's to kidnap
meeeeeeeeeeee!" Lisa felt herself being jerked and pulled away from her cell phone.
Lisa began screaming loud enough for Sam to hear "HELPPPPPPPPP SAMMMMMMM HELPPPPP MEEEEEEEEE!" Jenna grabbed the pistol and
pointed it at Lisa and lifter her off the floor. "Your coming with me now".
Lisa struggled more and more trying to fight off Jenna. Jenna grabbed the gun and hit Lisa upside the head just enough
to knock her out until she could figure out what to do with her.
Sam was worried. He heard Lisa scream for help, but that was right as her phone disconnected. He remembered how Lisa had told him that Jenna was in jail. Somehow she had gotten out. Sam thought about what he could do to help her.
Living at Darcy's mansion had given him an idea of what women like Darcy were like. Jenna had taken Lisa to a place where no one would find her and he was willing to bet that she would force Lisa to think that Jenna was her mother again.
At that moment he knew that he had to tell Luke and Lori. Maybe the Dukes' could help him find Lisa.
Lisa groaned to Jenna's relief as Jenna cleaned her head. She opened her eyes and looked at Jenna. "Jenna, what have you done?" Lisa asked groggily.
"Just hold still while I clean this cut," Jenna said, applying some alcohol to the open cut and bandaging it.
"You took me again! my father and boyfriend is going to find me," Lisa said angrily.
"If they really care about you, they won't. And is this any way for you to talk to your mother?" Jenna said, running her fingers through Lisa's dark hair.
"You're not my mother!" Lisa protested. Lisa sounded scared and that was the last thing that Jenna wanted for her daughter. maybe it was best that Jenna left Lisa alone before she dyed her hair again. Jenna had bought a box of hair color. She walked out of the room and locked the door.
Lisa sat alone on the bed as Jenna left the room. LIsa looked at her pink ice engagement ring on her finger and cried
deeply For Sam. She hoped he understood that she hadn't left him that she had been taken against her own will. If
anyone could save her it was Sam and her Father. They were well trained cops. Her father was a bodyguard, and Sam was
a FBI Agent. Lisa remembered the necklace around her neck. It was of a butterfly and had a transmitter in it to locate
her if she ever went missing. Lisa hoped Sam remembered to tell her parents about it.
But what was she going to do until she was rescued? Lisa remembered what her father did when Jenna forced him to marry her.
He had played along. She could play along and act like Jenna was her mother it was her only hope for survival and being
rescued. If she was going to stay here a short time, Lisa thought about asking Jenna to take them to a local mall to buy
her some clothing, once there, Lisa could distract her then turn on her, if Sam or her father showed up. Yeah, maybe
that plan would work. If Jenna would fall for it.She would also tell her not to die her hair because of last time.
Lori was in the kitchen cooking up a meal with Sandra and they were both singing a new duet for Lori's upcoming tour
that summer. The doorbell rang "I'll get it", said Lori and wiped her hands. Lori went to the door and opened it and saw
Sam on their doorstep. Surprisingly, Lori didn't find Lisa beside them. Normally the two were inseparatable when they
were together. Lori Let Sam in "Sam!it's good to see you. Where's Lisa? She said she would be coming with you". Lori hugged
him as he came in.
Sam hugged her back not sure how he was going to say this to Lisa's mom who took years to find her own daughter. Sam
Cleared his throat and began to speak. "It's good to see you too, Lori. Lisa couldn't make it. Jenna broke out of jail
about a week ago, and now she has Lisa. She kidnapped her this afternoon while I was on the phone with her."
Lori's face paled again "NOt again! Tell me its not true Sam! What are we going to do? Lukeeeeeeee!!!!"
Luke rushed into the kitchen at Lori's scream. It didn't take long for Sam to explain the situation to him. "All right. Let's go find Will. He'd know how to handle this," Luke said as he and Sam left the house.
They rushed over to Will and Alicia's house where Will was down on the floor with Little Luke, playing legos. "Daddy, Sam, what are you doing here?" Will's wife Alicia asked opening the door.
"Alicia, we need to talk to Will is he in?" Luke asked, his pretty daughter-in-law.
"I'm right here, Daddy?" Will said, Little Luke on his shoulders and their daughter, Lori, by his side.
"Me and Sam need to talk with you alone, Son," Luke said. Will handed his son and Lori over to Alicia and they went to the kitchen.
"What's wrong? Will asked, looking at first Sam and then his father.
"Lisa's been kidnapped, Son. We need your help," Luke said, seeing no point in beating around the bush.
"Who took her?" Will asked, shock in his green eyes.
"We think it was Jenna. Your sister tried to call Sam and Jenna took her then. That's why we came to you," Luke explained, clapping his son's broad shoulder
"I've been out of this for a long time. I thought Jenna was in jail," Will said.
"Apparently she got out. Can you help us, Will?" Luke asked.
"I think so. If I remember kidnappers she'll take Lisa to where it'll be difficult to find her. Then she'll do something to alter her looks like before and maybe drug her so she couldn't scream for help," Will said.
"Let's just hope she doesn't do any of that for your sister's sake," Luke said firmly.
Jenna walked into Lisa's room, the box of hair color in her hand. "Are you ready, Lisa?" Jenna asked.
"Jenna, please don't do this. You nearly ruined my hair the last time," Lisa said as Jenna pulled her to her feet.
"Don't worry. It won't hurt a bit," Jenna said, taking her into the bathroom and sitting her down in a chair next to the sink. She washed Lisa's dark hair carefully, like so many times before and put the hair color on her hair.
They didn't get to go to the Mall or anywhere that was public for the matter. Jenna kept insisting that people would be
looking for them. What Jenna didn't know was that Lisa's necklace would be traced and she would be found anyway whether
in public or out in the middle of nowhere.Jenna didn't know that Sam was a Federal Agent.
Lisa hoped so, she wanted to see her dad, Sam and her own family again. With Sam's skill's as a Federal Agent, he should
be able to find her in no time.
Lisa couldn't do much except sigh when Jenna dyed her hair again, she just hoped and prayed that Sam and her dad would
find her soon before Jenna kept dyeing her hair.
Jenna later came with a shopping bag into Lisa's room. Lisa looked up "What is that?" Lisa asked.
Jenna smiled "I do think about your needs, Lisa. I went shopping for you before you even came here. And I kept most of
the clothing you had here before. I Knew that someday, you'd be back."
Lisa was completely surprised but then again, she felt sorry for Jenna. She wished she had a family of her own, that way
she wouldn't be so fixated on Lisa and her brother.But knew that Jenna was probably lonely and only wanted her company
for a short time.
"Well, thanks for the clothes, mom", said Lisa playing along like she planned to.
Jenna broke into a smile she knew Lisa would come around to her way of thinking. "It's time to eat, I made your favorite
meal".
Lisa followed her into the kitchen. They sat and had supper like old times. Lisa thought about Sam as she ate. She wondered
what he was thinking about the situation, and she hoped that he wouldn't give up on her. Sam had seemed so in love with
her and love felt real with him.
"Something on your mind, Honey?" asked Jenna looking at her daughter. They had a meal consisting of steak, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole.
"It's Sam. My boyfriend, mom, I have to go back. He needs to know I'm okay, we're supposed to get married!" Lisa showed
her the engagement ring ."Is there a way he could you know visit me?"
Jenna frowned. She knew Lisa would ask questions about that, and for some odd reason, she didn't trust this Sam guy. What
if he wanted to take Lisa away from her forever? She couldn't have that.
"No. He can't come here, Lisa. I'm sorry, but if he comes here, then he will tell your real parents where you are and
then they will be on my doorstep harassing me to let you go. We can't have that."
Lisa stared at Jenna dumbfounded. She wanted to prevent her from seeing Sam! Lisa wanted to break down and cry and
throw a tantrum, but if she did, Jenna might do something like drug her. Instead, she played along to survive.
"Maybe your right", she said and kept eating. But her mind and thoughts kept drifting back to Sam. Please don't
give up on me, Sam.
Sam sat at a computer as he put in the feed from his walkie-talkie. "So you and Lisa have a transmitter?" Will asked, sitting on the desk.
"Yeah, something like that. I wanted to make sure she was okay if she ever got in trouble," Sam said as the feed came up. A map appeared on the screen, pointing out a street and address.
"That's an old shack on the old Mill road," Luke commented, all of them looking at the screen.
"Let's go check it out," Will said, putting on his jacket.
Sam hoped they got there in time before Jenna took Lisa to where they'd never find her.
Jenna watched as her baby finished all her food. It was now time for them to go, but Lisa wasn't going to see where she was going. "Time to go, Baby," Jenna said, kissing Lisa's forehead gently.
"Go where?" Lisa asked, taking her plate to the sink.
"It's a surprise," Jenna said, smiling briefly. She went over to the cabinet where she had hidden a needle while Lisa was crying.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Lisa asked, alarmed.
"Just relax, Baby. This won't hurt a bit," Jenna said.
"No way!" Lisa bolted out of her chair and ran towards the door, which Jenna had left, unfortunately, unlocked.
With her heart pounding, Lisa ran for her life. She had never been so scared of Jenna in her whole life. Her and Will's
stepmother was deeply disturbed and troubled. As she ran out the door, Lisa locked the door behind her so that when
Jenna tried to open it, she couldn't. That way, it gave Lisa a chance to escape.
Lisa ran further away from the old shack they were staying in up the road from it. Her track skills kicking in for survival
Lisa wasn't sure where she was going to run to all she knew, she had to get away from Jenna.
For crying out loud, Jenna was going to try to drug her! As far as Lisa was concerned, a real mom wouldn't do that to her.
Lisa missed her real mother Lori, terribly. She wondered how her mom was doing during all this.
Good thing the day wasn't so hot. It was warm but had a breeze to it and Lisa's plan was to get to somewhere so she could
use a payphone to call for help. Little did she know, that Sam and her dad and brother were on their way to rescueing her
and would find her before she reached a local gas station.
Lisa decided to hitch a ride to a local gas stations. Several cars passed by, but none offered her a ride.
Lisa's heart pounded and she felt so scared, why wasn't anyone stopping?!
Just then, Lisa spotted a familiar looking car coming towards her. It was will's blue dodge caravan! Inside, she could
see Will driving, her dad, and Sam in the back.
Lisa tried running towards them and waving her arms "Hellllllllllppppp! It's meeeee Lisaaaaaaaa!" Lisa hoped they
would recognise her. She wore the same clothes as she went missing in and had on Sam's necklace.
By the time they reached her and automatically stopped the vehical, Lisa began to not feel so good. Jenna had drugged
her food! thought Lisa in alarm. Her world began to spin, and Lisa started to faint as Sam and her father and will,
rushed towards her.
Luke caught his daughter as she fell forward. He handed her to Sam. Take her to the hospital. Will and myself will deal with Jenna," Luke said, leaving no room for argument with his stern voice.
Sam put Lisa in Will's SUV and drove Lisa to the hospital. She was asleep the whole time they drove there. Every so often Sam touched her face gently with his hand. He hoped that Jenna's drugging hadn't harmed her. This was different than Darcy pumping drugs into his body to make him love her. Darcy had never overdone it with the drugs. She had given him little amounts at a time.
They stopped at the hospital and Sam parked the car. He raced around to the passengers side and scooped Lisa up in his arms, giving her a firm kiss on the lips. "Hold on, Lise. Hold on," Sam said as he ran with her to the hospital.
An orderly took Lisa out of his arms and put her on a bed, leaving him to sit in the waiting room and pray.
The Doctors soon rushed in and began to pump all the drug out Lisa's body. It took an hour to do so, but they succeeded.
Hours later, Lisa woke up groggily in the hospital room. She heard voices near her the Doctors told Sam, and her family
how much the drug was put in her, and it was taken by her food.
If she was in the hospital, then that meant that she had been rescued! Lisa wondered if her father and Will had already
arrested Jenna.
Lori who had arrived the moment Sam told her they saved Lisa, had drove all the way to the hospital. Lori fell asleep
holding her daughter's hand in hers.
"Mom?" asked Lisa .
Lori looked up "Lisa! Honey, we were so worried!"
"Jenna drugged me", said Lisa. "Oh, baby, we know, we know. She had put the drug in your food. I'm so sorry you had
to go through that".
"Where's Dad?" asked Lisa.
"They will be here shortly. They have arrested Jenna and she's not escaping again. We are so lucky that Sam's an FBI Agent
and that he found you as quick as he did".
"Sam? Is he here?" asked Lisa groggily.
Lori nodded "He's the one who helped save you and brought you to the hospital.I'll go get him." Lori went to go get
Sam.She told him Lisa was awake.
Sam walked in a huge grin on his face as he looked at Lisa. "Lisa," he breathed softly as he kissed her gently. Lisa twined her hand in his hair and kissed him back. Sam kissed her until he had to catch his breath.
"Are you okay?" Sam asked, breathing hard.
"I think so. Sam, did they get Jenna?" Lisa asked, her eyes slightly cloudy from the drug that Jenna had used on her.
"Yes they did. Your father and Will brought her in while I drove you to the hospital," Sam said, running his fingers down her face gently.
"Sam, she dyed my hair again," Lisa said, her eyes full of tears and her voice slurring slightly.
Sam hugged her tightly to his chest and stroked her now-chestnut locks. "I know, Lise. I told your mother and she said that she will try to get it back to normal. Don't worry," Sam consoled her.
"Sam, I love you," Lisa said, raising her head from his chest and kissing him.
"I love you too," Sam said between kisses. Lisa fell asleep in the middle of a kiss and Sam laid her back among her pillows. Luke and Lori came in just then, followed by Will.
"How is she?" Luke asked, a concerned look on his face.
"Barely lucid. The drug has made her so tired," Sam said, massaging Lisa's face gently with his hand.
"The doctor told me that he was surprised that Lisa survived. Jenna apparently put a lot into her food. I guess if she couldn't inject Lisa then she would still have something to fall back on," Will said.
"I'm just surprised Jenna did this at all. Doesn't she realize that if she took Lisa or you that the two of you wouldn't come willingly? That's almost like what would happen if Darcy took her sights off Nathan and came back and captured me. Darcy would know that I wouldn't leave Lisa of my own free will," Sam said, standing up.
"I don't know. Jenna would use drugs. She and Darcy are that much alike. Unlike Darcy though her drugs keep you asleep for awhile so you don't see where you are going. Darcy is more into drugs that alter your mind and personality. She makes you think you love her when you don't. And she gives you the drugs in small amounts," Will said.
"At least Lisa will be all right," Lori said, trying to change the subject.
"Can you fix her hair, Mama?" Sam asked. Like Alicia and Sarah Lori and Luke had insisted that Sam call them Mama and Daddy. Sam liked calling them that and he thought both of his inlaws were better than his own parents.
"I'll try. Sandra and Alicia said they'd help me," Lori said.
"It can't be too awful since it's been close to ten years since Jenna last dyed it," Will commented. Sam hoped Will was right. Lisa had told him about how Jenna had dyed her hair so much it was fried when she came back to her family. She said that people could actually see the scorched parts of her hair.
Lisa had went back to sleep feeling safe now that Sam and her parents were now with her. As she slept, she couldn't
believe what the Doctor had told her earlier. Jenna nearly killed her! The Doctor had told her she was very lucky to be
alive and that Jenna had drugged her food with large amounts.
Jenna found it hard to believe that someone who raised her for alot of years would want her dead. But then again, Jenna
was capable of everything and wasn't the caring person like Lisa thought she was. Which made Lisa angry. Lisa had grew
up liking Jenna and admiring her for the longest time, until she had found out that Jenna had kidnapped them when they
were little and took them from their birth parents, and now learning Jenna had nearly tried to kill her, made Lisa
more angry at Jenna and terrified of her at the same time.
Lisa hoped this would be the last they ever saw of Jenna. She hoped Jenna would remain in Jail for a long time. Lisa
drifted off into a peacefull slumber.
Two days later, Lisa was feeling better and more alert. The Doctors wanted to keep her one more night just to make sure
things went okay with her and that she would get to go home the next day.
Kissing Sam the other day and today earlier had felt so wonderful. Lisa loved her fiance' and couldn't imagine not ever
being able to see him again. To be able to kiss him and breathe the wonderful smell of him and him holding her close,
just felt wonderful. Lisa had thanked him for saving her life.
Sarah and Nathan came by later that day, and Sarah had a box of goodies for Lisa. "I know that you are going to be bored
laying in that bed all day, so, Nathan and I went and got you some things".
Lisa looked at her "Thanks Sarah, you are such a good friend!" Lisa peered into the box to see what they had brought.
Her personal cd player, and some new cds she had been wanting, a few new books mostly mysterys, a card game, and a tin
filled with homemade candy that was her favorite, and home made brownies. "Sweet", said Lisa her face instantly cheering
up. Whenever she was at home, Lisa loved doing her favorite things like read, listen to music, and eat sweets.
Sarah hugged Lisa "I'm glad you like them. Lisa, take all the time you need off from work, there's no hurry in going back.
we don't go to California until Summer sometime. Oh and we were wondering, would you and Sam be interested in moving
with us and touring when my first album comes out?" Sarah being 5 months pregnant was now showing.
Lisa stopped and looked at Sam as Sarah mentioned this. Moving sounded like a good idea. They would be far away from
Jenna and Darcy too. "It sounds like a brilliant idea to me, what do you think, Sam?"
