Chapter 15
*Sam*
"I don't know what that was last night…" Sam thinks to herself. She has gone about her day taking of business and picking up some things. She wanted last night's dream as far from her mind as possible. But for some odd reason it kept sticking there. "Remember what I told you. Please you have to warn Silas…" She kept hearing Livvie's voice in her head. "No…Stephen's dead. There can't be any way of him ever coming back. Just let it go Sam." Sam says to herself. She brushes it off and returns to her work. Luckily with the arraignments, she can work on cases from so she can be closer to Danny, who at the moment was with his grandmother. Soon Rafe comes in quickly.
"Rafe, what are you doing here? I thought you were going to be with Molly after school." "Change of plans, so I took the bus home." "Why didn't you call me? I would of came and got you." "I didn't want to interrupt. I know you are working on a case." Rafe says with a look on his face. "Ok what's wrong buddy? You're looking like your uncle when he has something on his mind." Says Sam as Rafe starts digging in his backpack. "Ummm, when I got off the bus and was walking inside there was this man standing in the lobby. He stopped me and asked me did I know Silas Clay." Rafe starts. "What did you tell him?" "I told him that he was my uncle." "What he say after that?" "Nothing. He just gave me this and said give it to him. He knows what to do with it." Rafe says handing Sam the envelope. She inspects it. Nothing strange about it. It was addressed to Silas. "Did you get a good look at the man?" Sam asks. "He was tall. Kind of average built. Had on a lot of black for it being August." Rafe says. "And his face?" "He had on sunglasses and wore a hat. But I did notice that he had long black hair in a ponytail. "Well it's a start." Sam says as she lays the envelope down. "Are you going to give that to Uncle Silas?" "Yea later on. He's in the middle of a surgery right now." Sam says. "Ok. I want to be there when you do. I want to know what it is." "Nosy." Sam teases. "Funny. But no, after he gave me the letter he patted me on the shoulder. Gave me a weird vibe." Rafe says as he heads upstairs.
Sam looks at the envelope. The writing was cursive but scribbled. To Sam it looked like a man wrote it. It tried to have some sort of flair to it, like he tried to make it look like a female wrote it. But at the same time it looked familiar. She put the letter in her purse. She was going over to Silas' later on that night. With company now but she'll give it him then. Sam started to finish some paper work that but kept looking back at the letter. Whatever vibe Rafe got from that guy, she was now getting it from the letter. She wanted to open it but she knew it would be an invasion of privacy. But then a thought came to her head. "Why would the guy be here looking for Silas and not the hospital or at least his place?" she wonders. Something didn't sit right with Sam as she goes for the envelope. She was about to open it when her phone rang. "Hello?" "Hey sweetie." "Hi what's up?" "Nothing. Just getting into my office. Surgery went well." Silas says. "That's good." "How's your day been?" "Boring. Been finishing up some work on a case." "Oh ok. Well I'm heading to the grocery store to pick up dinner then I'll meet you home." Silas says. "Better get enough for 3 because we have company. Rafe is coming with me." "What? I thought he was with Molly. Is everything ok?" "Yea. There was a change of plans." Sam says. "Well, let me make a note to change something in the menu." "Why?" "Rafe is allergic to the ingredient." Silas says. "Oh well I'll see you later than." Sam says. "Ok. I love you Samantha." Silas says. "Love you too." Sam says smiling as they hang up. "Rafe! Come on we're leaving!" Sam yells as she grabs her things. He comes down the stairs and they leave.

After picking up Danny, they head to Silas' house. "Where is Uncle Silas?" Rafe asks as they get out the car. "He's at the grocery store. He said he had to rearrange some things because he didn't know you were coming tonight." Sam says as she and Danny reach for her keys. "Oh he must have been cooking something with oregano in it. I'm allergic to it. Another weird trait that I got from my father." Rafe says as he notices Sam's keys. "You have a key to his house?" "It's actually your key Rafe. He told me to give it to you when you got home. I just put it on my chain so I wouldn't lose it." Sam says as they go inside. "Oh…so when are you getting your own key?" Rafe quips causing Danny to laugh. "You got jokes." Sam sits her things on the table and puts Danny down. He starts crawling around to a little corner of the room and sits there. "I'm going upstairs and get some of his toys." Rafe says. "His toys?" "Yea, Uncle Silas has a box full of toys in my room for Danny." "Oh wow." Sam says as he runs upstairs. She looks over at Danny bouncing on the floor and smiles.
Silas pulls up to his home and sees Sam's car in front. "She must use Rafe's key." He mutters to himself as he gets the groceries out of the car. He walks inside and hears laughing. He felt his heart swell as he closes the door. "Honey, I'm home!" Silas jokes as he walks towards the kitchen. He goes in and after a minute is hugged from behind. "Well hello to you too." Silas says turning around to face Sam. "Welcome home." Sam smiles as they share a kiss. They head into the living room to find Rafe and Danny. "Si-Si!" Danny beamed as he crawls towards him. Silas picks him up and kisses his forehead. "Hey Uncle Si!" "Hey there kiddo. Is everything ok? I wasn't expecting to see you tonight." Silas says. "Yea I'm fine. Molly just had something else to do. Something dealing with Kristina." "Kristina? Oh she must be skyping her tonight." Sam says. "Well, while ya'll are busy trying to figure out what your sisters are doing I'm going to start dinner." Silas says. "I want to help!" Rafe quips as they go into the kitchen. "Come on Danny, were going to see the Clay men cook for us. Hopefully they don't burn anything." Sam giggled as she took Danny out of Silas' arms. "I heard that!" They both yell as everyone walks into the kitchen.
