Chapter 27
They run to the car and Sam gets on the driver side. "What are you doing? I'm driving." "No you're not. We're trying to get there in a hurry and you don't know how to drive in a hurry." Sam says as they pull off. "You see how I was driving to the house?" Silas rebuffs. "Desperate times call for desperate measures. Sam floors it on the highway, weaving through traffic. "You're going to get us caught by the police Sam!" Silas worries. Sam glances over to him. "Well I know to never take you on a stakeout with me. I got this. You act like I've never done this before." "Silas have you forgotten who her late husband was." Livvie says in monotone. Sam shoots her a glaring look through the rearview mirror. "What's Jason got to do with this? I'm a P.I you ass!" Sam says as she turns down the pathway that leads to the villa and hits the gas. "I was just saying that you had to get the both of you…" Livvie stops as she sees the villa. Sam comes to a screeching halt as they get out of the car. Livvie stops halfway before they get to the door. "Livvie! Come on, why did you stop?" "It's been so long since I've been here…it still looks the same as it did when I…" "Reminisce later! My kids are in there!" Sam says as she runs inside.
"Sam! Don't just go barging in. He'll know we're here then." Silas says when he finally goes inside. Silas and Livvie stand in awe. "It hasn't changed Silas." "It's like time stood still here. I haven't been back since it happened." Silas says. "Look, I understand what this place means to the both of ya'll but right now my kids are in danger. Everybody split up!" Sam says as Silas shoots her a look. "Are you insane?! I'm not letting you go running around here by yourself. "Silas, if he finds out that we're here together he'll kill us all." Sam says trying to reason with him. "Sam, you and Silas go one way. I'll go the other way. Whoever finds him first deals with him their way." Livvie says. "How are we going to know you won't help him out when you find him?" Sam questions. "I gave you my word. He needs to be stopped once and for all." Livvie says. "Well for your sake Livvie, I just hope we find him before you do because I still don't trust you." Sam says starting to go up the stairs as Silas follows her. Livvie sighs as she heads down the hall.
S&S&S&S&S&S&S
*Livvie*
Livvie is slowly heading down the hall. She stops every now and then to look at everything around her. "It's like nothing has been touched. Everything is how I left it. I can't believe this." Livvie says to herself. She continues down the winding hall. "She stops at a door and goes to open it but pauses. "Wait...if he's in there he'll know it's me." She thinks to herself and stands against the wall. "I know!" She says as she changes herself to look like Sam. Livvie goes inside and looks around. "Stephen? Are you here? Steph…" Livvie stops as she sees a picture of her and Stephen. She goes closer to and gazes at it. "When life was so simple…oh Caleb, where did we go wrong? Why wasn't I enough for you?" Livvie thinks to herself. "Focus, Livvie." She goes out the room and further down the hall. She ends up at the doors to an open room. She goes in and sees Stephen standing on the balcony. "Stephen?" Livvie says as he turns around. Stephen looks at her. "How did you get up here?" "I came here after you. I know you have Rafe and Danny. I just wanted to know they are safe." "Yes, they are asleep in their room. How did you know they were here? I never told you where we were going." Stephen says walking closer to her. "I just figured you would take them here." Livvie says growing nervous. "God, he knows it's me…" "I was waiting for you to come, I didn't want to come get you because I knew my brother would never let you go." "Silas doesn't know I'm here. He's out with Livvie looking for you. They know you have the boys." "Let them know, all that matters is that you are here with me now. We can be a family now Samantha. Us, the boys, and the little one that you are carrying." Stephen says as he wraps his arms around her. "Wait…is you saying?" "Yep…you're going to be a mother again…for the third time." Stephen says as he picks her up and spins her around. When he puts her down she looks at him in shock. "Samantha…are you ok?" "I'm just shocked! Ummm…let's go tell the boys they are going to be big brothers!" Livvie says as she grabs his hand. Stephen leads them out of the room and down the hall.
S&S&S&S&S&S
"We've looked all over for them Silas! They're not here." Sam wails. "We haven't looked everywhere because we've been trying to find them and duck my brother at the same time." Silas says matter-of-factly. Sam looks at him as he shrugs. "Come on let's keep looking. They head towards the back of the villa until they hear voices. "Silas, what was that?" Sam says as they stop in their tracks. "Don't worry Samantha, we'll be together forever." Stephen says as they walk down the hall. Silas pulls Sam into a room and hides near the door so they can see what's going on. "Holy shit…" Silas whispers. "Is that…Livvie?" Sam questions. "I guess, but why does she have that on?" "Come on. Let's follow them." "Now I know that you've gone bonkers Sam." "I'm serious, come on." Sam says as she creeps out the door. "Sam…Sam…damn it!" Silas says as he follows her. When he catches up to her she's outside the door. "Samantha…all I have to say is that whatever happens, you stay behind me." "Hell no, we doing this together." Sam says as they look in. They see Danny in Stephen's arms as Rafe lays there. "Rafe? Baby wake up for me." Livvie says as she tries to wake him. "He's going to be out for a while…" "Why?" "Well he's was kind of freaked out about seeing me alive so I had to get something to calm him down." Stephen says as he gives Danny to Livvie. "You drugged him?!" "It's just a sedative. I didn't kill him." Stephen says as Livvie starts to panic. Sam almost ran into the room but Silas stopped her. "He drugged him! Whose knows what he done did to Danny." Sam spazzes. "You go in there now, not only will you put Rafe and Danny in danger but you will blow Livvie's cover too." Silas says trying to reason with her. "Fuck her cover!" Sam says as she goes to get up but doubles over in pain and yells out. Stephen looks towards the door. "Sam can you move because we need to get the fuck out of here." Silas says as he tries to pick her off the floor. "Who is there?" "It's probably the maid. She must of hit something cleaning." Livvie says, knowing they're outside the door. Silas and Sam make it around the corner. "Are you okay, Sam?" Silas asks concerned. "Yes, I just keep getting this pain from out of nowhere." Sam says. "That son of a bitch!" Silas yells out as he gets up and goes down the hall. "Silas! SILAS! Don't go in there." Sam runs after him.
