Chapter Thirty-Four: Scami Demotes the General
Author's Note: This chapter is dedicated to all the f*cksticks that think Lucas is somehow worthy but want to burn EJ at the stake for "raping" Sami.
Lucas has been moved to death row; his execution is scheduled for the next day. Sami goes to the prison to see him. They allow her to have a private audience with him. When Sami enters the room, Lucas looks up, relieved. "Oh, Sami, thank God! You're gonna make this right, right? You're gonna tell them this has all been a mistake." Sami allows Lucas to put his arms around her and bury his crying face in her chest. She rubs her hand lightly through his hair. "But Lucas, there's no mistake. You admitted to everything." "Yeah, but…" he cries, his words muffled. "But?" Sami presses. "But I didn't shoot EJ!" Sami moves him from her slightly and puts her hands on his face. "I know you didn't, Lucas," she tells him softly. "Really?" he asks, wiping his nose with the back of his hand. Sami smiles down on him. "Yes. I know you didn't Lucas, because I did. I shot EJ." Lucas looks up at her, unable to register what she's saying. He backs up a few steps. "You? But, I thought you loved him!" Sami laughs out loud. "Did and still do." She shakes her head slightly, her hair bouncing on her shoulders. "Oh, poor simple Lucas. You still haven't figured it out yet? I shot him to frame you. And you, dear boy, played right into my hands." Her eyes grow cold for a moment and her stare becomes hard. Her voice is low and steady but threaded in violence. "Did you forget who you were dealing with, Lucas? I'm Samantha Brady! When you get on my bad side, you die there." Lucas walks backwards until he makes contact with the wall. "But, but why?" Sami moves in closer to him. "Why? Are you that far gone, Lucas? WHY! After everything you've done to me, you can ask me this?" Lucas shakes his head slightly. "No, you've forgiven me. You forgave me everything. You were in love with me. All our marriages, you cried when the weddings didn't go through." Sami laughs so hard she doubles over, bracing herself by putting her hands on her knees. When she throws her head back and stands up straight, tears are streaming down her face and she looks utterly heartbroken. "Oh, please Lucas, I love you, I know you love me, we're meant to be together, don't do this to us Lucas, wah wah wah!" With that she begins laughing again, wiping the tears off her face. "I really missed my calling; I should have been an actress. You bought it, you all bought it, because you're all idiots." Lucas looks utterly lost. "Then why did you want to marry me to begin with?" he asks her. "To make your life a living hell," she replies, "and to piss off your mother. I thought I could kill two birds with one stone, metaphorically, but then I realized I could kill those same two birds, literally." Lucas starts crying. "You really hate me that much? Did I really hurt you that badly?" Sami finally loses it on Lucas. She begins a tirade in a mocking tone, "Gee, Sami, why don't you put down that sandwich? Maybe if you weren't so fat Austin would want to fuck you. Gee, Sami, did you just get raped (for real, I mean)? You know what'll make you feel better, letting me fuck you on the floor of a basement in an office building. Gee, Sami, you lied about our son's paternity? That automatically makes me a better parent, even though I'm such a lush my mommy has to help me to the bathroom because I can't stand on my own two feet. Speaking of, I'll just have my mommy buy your twin brother's girlfriend so I can steal custody from you. Or how about we just get you out of the picture totally? I know, I'll drug your food and my mom can lure you off a cliff with an image of our son. OUR SON!" Sami turns white with rage and begins trembling. "You used our son to try and kill me because you didn't want me finding out the truth about how you killed my fiancé on our wedding day. Speaking of the truth… you almost could have redeemed yourself. All those months, you let me rot in prison, rubbing it in my face. They had already injected me before you came in and then what do you do? You backpedal, you say you were lying. I wanted to prove you were actually telling the truth for once, and you and your mother tried to kill me for it. How could I ever love you? How could you think that I did?" Sami composes herself, takes a deep breath, and brushes the hair back out of her face. She walks towards the door, but then stops and turns around to face him one last time. "No one will barge in and save you tomorrow, Lucas. And let me give you a little education, you know, from someone who knows what they're talking about. When they give you the Pavulon, it paralyzes you. Your body freezes up on you. Tightening. Your lungs feel like lead weights in your chest and you can't take a breath. You want to scream in agony but you can't make a sound. You cannot imagine the torture.." Sami clucks her tongue and shakes her head, "but you will soon enough. Oh, and Lucas? Enjoy your last meal." With that she raps on the door to have the guard let her out, leaving Lucas alone in the room, on his knees, screaming.
EJ gets out of the car when he sees Sami walking towards him in his sideview mirror. He gives her a questioning look, wondering how it went. Sami gives him a catlike smile and shoves him against the car, kissing him with all the energy the release of her angst has pumped into her body. When she breaks away from him he laughs shakily. "So, I take it your meeting went well?" "EJ, darling, you have no idea."
