University of Maryland Hospital

It had been an emotional few days to say the least since he landed on her doorstep she still couldn't believe it. That he was here and he knew about Little Olly and he loved him and wanted to be his father. And he was still wearing his wedding ring even though nobody knew they got married but his god brother and his wife. She thought as she paced back and forth "would you please stop your making me dizzy" Sam says looking at her sister. With a sigh "I can't help it Sam '' Kat, stopping as she ran her hands together " I come bearing gifts of coffee black two sugars. For you two and a caramel macchiato for me so any news yet" Elle said sitting next to Sam.

Who shook her head when Kat gagged "this isn't coffee" the woman said as Elle shrugged. "It got you to stop pacing" she replied, making Kat smell the coffee then going to take Sam's who pulled away. "Oh Relax Kat hers is just regular boring coffee" Elle says winking at Sam who smirks. As she sipped her coffee"Ummm good coffee" Sam said with a grin while Kat looked between the two teens. "Don't you two start your shit okay"Kat says, with both teens smirking "Oh Katherine I have a lot of shit to make up for '' Elle answered.

Kat gave her a serious look "Not gonna work I've had to deal with my brother being. An insufferable asshole so sorry Kat" she says shrugging with Kat shaking her head. "Don't you have something to do instead of being a pain in my ass" she says as Elle smiles . Then shaking her head "Nope I don't, my shift is over" she answered only annoying Kat furthermore. "Please tell that's a Caramel Macchiato"Kat says looking at her "Oh come on you should know me better than that. Oops you have been gone for three years so you're gonna need a refresher course ahem. I Elena Tavares takes being a soon to be doctor very seriously Katherine and this caramelly goodness.

Keeps me going for now" she says, " Yeah, Yeah smartass" Kat said with a sigh before sitting down. "Good job you do remember how to relax right" Elle said sarcastically, "No she does not only time she does that is when she sleeps"Sam adds with a grin. Making her sister glare at the both of them "It still doesn't work on me Katherine I keep telling you I dealt with Olly for three years"she says. Shrugging her shoulders when Kat shook her head then closed her eyes and sighs " How bad did it get? '' she said looking up at Elle.

Who sighs " the guy Formerly known as Manolo Oliveras Tavares jr you know Mr. Personality. The one with the big smile and sarcastic wise remarks he cease to exist he was replaced. By doppelgänger with my brother's face who I call Sir Dickhead, Dynamite or if he pisses me off I'll call him Junior and watch him explode. Knowing just how much he hated my dad" she says as Kat shook her head then running her hands through her hair. "I'm sorry Elena, you too Sammy I just freaked you know I didn't know what to do so I ran" she says.

Looking at them '' There are no answers in running and it always catches up to you" Esmerelda says as she comes over to them. Kissing Elle and Sam on top of their heads then holding Kat's hand "Hi Mami, Hi Titi '' both teens said. "Mrs. Tavares I'm really sorry about everything" Kat says, "Katherine stop apologizing. Alright I'm sorry that we as a whole didn't make you feel secure enough. To be honest no matter how much it hurts"the older woman said, as Kat shook her head.

"It's my fault Ma when things are going real good for us they alway go to shit the McCall curse. Never seems to fail" she says when Esmerelda looked at her then cupping her face. "There are no such things as a curse, no more running. You have to stand and fight Katherine. You are a strong, capable young woman. Do not let fear bind you anymore than it already has. It's cost you, your son, the love of a man that loves more than the air he breathes, aren't you tired of running?" Esme says.

Tears threatened to stream down her face because she was tired. She was exhausted, closing her eyes then taking a deep breath. "I've been so tired the day he dropped Sam off" Kat replies when Esmerelda pulled her in and hugged her. "You girls go ahead I will wait with her trust me go be teenagers" the woman says then getting up. Then taking the coffee cup from Sam while Elle hundred up to finish hers then handing her mother the cup. Who gave her an exasperated look "Love you Mami" Elle said kissing her mother on the cheek. "Just do the test already Kat you'll be free finally" Sam says hugging her sister and her godmother before walking away.

After watching the girls go "Let's go do this DNA test and get it over with" Esme says looking at Kat. With a sigh "No more fear right" Kat replies as the older woman shook her head then taking her hand. Then leading her to the lab meanwhile Sam and Elle were leaving the hospital building. "So what do we do now" Elle questioned looking at Sam "how about we get in trouble for old time sake" he says. As they turned around "Carlos, K.K" Sam said in complete shock as they stood K.K nodded to Elle "well umm KK and I will let you guys talk" her friend said before stepping away.

Still frozen in her spot "Hey Sam" Cruz replies when she finally moves to hug him and him doing the same. Before they pull back both nervous "you look good taller" she says inwardly cursing herself. "You too just not any taller" he said with a grin when she shoved him as they sat down. Both are still really nervous not knowing what to say to each other '' How are you" she asked. " Umm I'm good you know how about you"he questioned, "Fine you know just school you know what about you" Sam says.

"The same school but everything is cool when he sighs, this is awkward isn't it" Cruz responds. Making them both laugh "Just a little bit" she answered when there was silence between them. Neither knowing how to react to each other "But I just wanted to see how you were but you're good. It was nice seeing you Sam don't be a stranger" he says getting up to walk away. When she spoke "You know I thought about calling you a million times the first couple of weeks" Sam said, making him turn around. And stop "Why didn't you" Cruz asked, she shrugged "I couldn't do that to my sister you didn't see her Lito. She was so broken and promised her she was so sure that Olly hated her.

She's my sister, what was I supposed to do? You know she could barely keep it together. But little Olly gave her reason to get up in the morning and slowly she got it together. I'm sorry Lito" Sam says tears started to slide down her face when he walked over and. Then wiping them away and hugging her then pulling back and sitting down next to her taking her hands in his. "I'm sorry too Sam. It wasn't your fault, you know, for a long time I was so angry at her. For taking you away from me and all I could do was think of myself. That was until I heard why she took off one night when Olly was drunk as hell and he railed in on Tio.

And all I could do was be mad at him too then I realized I couldn't make him feel any worse then he did. You know I mean nobody ever crossed this guy like EVER and this piece of shit did. Sam this is his, that Bastard fault this changed everything and everyone in our family. And our lives and I hope that Kat and Olly can get what they lose because he loves her. He's looked all over for her for the last three years umm sorry" Cruz says as they both pull their hands back.

Nervously clearing their throats"So what's up how's life are you seeing anyone "She replies. Making him just as nervous " Umm life is good i'm in the baseball team and yeah I'm seeing someone. What about you" he says, "Cool I'm still into cars. I design them now. And yeah I am seeing someone too is she pretty" she responds, "umm I…i…I… does he make you happy because you deserve that" Cruz says. "Thank you, you deserve that too and I am happy it will be a year October 3" Sam said. As he nods not knowing that someone was watching them before rushing off "Cool so still friends" he says. "Gosh I hope so because you can't get rid of me Tavares" she says making him smile.

With him getting up picking her up and hugging her then twirling her around before putting her. When she shoved him as he laughed "Good for life DiSanto" he said with a grin just as Elle and KK came over. "Are you guys done with the awkward talk"KK says hugging Sam, "Yes we are so what now" Sam said . "Good now can we find some trouble to get into" Elle says making Sam smile "It depends" she replies. "I mean hacker, genius, charmer and the gift of gab there are endless possibilities" KK replies pointing at each of them.

When Sam made a face "tiny problem this cop is up my ass because a few things went missing. And Drew's ex has her all over me she says as they all looked at her with a raised eyebrow. " Who do you hate?" Cruz questions, "Who can we use to get her off your back?" KK adds. "Clearly lady dimwit has no proof give her another suspect" Elle says. "OOooh I like that give her other suspects or other crimes to solve" KK replies with a telling grin. With the teens looking at each other smiling "we gonna need a big crew" Elle says with a big smile. When Sam sighs "This is what I like professionals" she says making them laugh, "let's go shall we" Cruz said. As they all started to walk away together laughing and joking around like no time had passed.


Yacht club

Sam parked her car knowing that she was being tailed by Jordan all she could do was hope for them to hurry. And find her an out , she thought as she got out of the car after talking to both her sister and Cruz. She was going to talk to Drew, she was just going to tell him the whole story taking a deep breath. Then going in smiling when she saw him before walking over and tapping him. "Hey what's up" Sam says when he turns to look at her anger etched in his face making her look at him with concern.

Because he's never looked at her that way "Sam" he said plainly setting the alarms off in her head. "Drew what's wrong" she questioned, "You tell me Sam it's all over the place my mother knows" he says. Making her look "What's all over what are you talking about" she asked, as he clenched his teeth. "YOU ALL OVER SOME GUY AT THE HOSPITAL SHE SHOWED MY MOTHER SAM" he said hurt. "She who Drew wait let me guess Margie" Sam says, "Yes Margaux Sam but why didn't you tell me about this guy" Drew says. "Drew I paged you I'm here to tell you the whole story and Carlos he just showed up.

And If you let me explain you'll see that It wasn't what she made it you said when I talk to Kat. Let you know I'm here if you still want that because if not I'll leave you alone" she says with tears starting to form in her eyes. But she refused to cry but her emotions got the best of her, making her wipe them away quickly. Before shaking her head "Whatever I guess you didn't mean it" she said turn to walk away "Did you mean it or was everything just a lie or you just wanna go be with him" Drew say. With the same look in his eyes as her head swung around "There's nothing going on between me and Carlos we talked today at the hospital he was my ex. And I haven't seen him in years.

Can we go somewhere and talk in private? Jordan is following me. I don't need my personal business being the talk and I will talk to you mom. If she doesn't believe me ask Mrs. Tavares I'm not lying to you it's not what it seemed" she says. He sighs "I picked up an extra shift to blow off some steam when she came here to rub my face in it" he said. Making Sam groan "Okay look Carlos was my ex when I left home and I haven't seen. Or heard from him in years the girl from the other night and Mrs. Tavares is his aunt.

And Cousin Rich's bride to be can tell you he's Big Carlos's son we used to date and what Margie saw. Were two people hugging happy that we could just be friends after all the drama that happened. Drew I told you my life was complicated and that there would be people coming out of the woodworks for us. But not here ,my house later when you get off Drew she has been looking for reasons. To come between us since you broke up with her and got together with me I have no reason to lie.

You get the whole story not just the small parts that I could tell you everything trust me. Hell if you want to meet him and KK then even better so we can get everything out in the open. And not to mention he has a girlfriend. They've been together for a year and two months. Her name is Carolina Acevedo. I even spoke to her when she called. I bet Margie didn't stick around for that whatever" she says. Crossing her arms he sighs "Okay I'll be at your place later will talk about everything" he replies.

Then grabbing her hands and pulling her into his arms "I'm sorry Sam it's just I heard that and I saw red just thinking about it. I love you Sam and I'm here" he whispered in her ears as she held onto him with the tears. Starting to slip down her cheeks that's when he saw Margaux friends watching them. When they pulled back and he wiped the tears from her eyes "What time to do leave now so I know what time I'll see you" she said walking away. With him watching as Margaux's friends tried to hide as Sam left, taking a deep breath.

"Margie, Margie, Margie didn't get the scene you hoped for right" Sam said turning around. Then approaching her "YOUR A LIAR YOU DESERVE DREW AT ALL AND HIS MOM IS GOING TO SEE IT. AND SHE'S GOING TO CONVINCE HIM OF IT THEN YOUR GONNA BE OUT OF THE PICTURE. THEN I WILL GET WHAT YOU STOLE" Margaux spat going to push Sam who moved. Making Sam smile "Hmm what did I steal from you again because last time I checked. You're with Kyle Manning and I wouldn't spit on him if he was on fire so enlighten me Margie. Who did I steal from you if Kyle and I were never together" she replies "YOU KNEW I WAS IN LOVE WITH DREW" she said hotly "Your in love with Drew, what about Kyle" Sam said.

"Ugh, what about him?" Margaux said "oh hey Kyle " she said waving behind them. When Margaux turned and saw him standing there then looking back at Sam who grinned and shook her head. "See you later Margie, Kyle I'm sorry you had to hear that" Sam said walking as Margaux looked at Kyle. Who shook his head before walking away "Pooh bear it's not like that" Margaux says as Sam laughed walking to her car and got in then drove away. As Jordan followed, "we have to get a listening device inside her house, that garage and her car" she says.

Following Sam's car who kept steady pace "did we hear back on that warrant yet" Trevor questioned. She sighs "they said we don't have enough probable cause for the home but the garage is a different story. We just have to get an informant in there so we have eyes in there" Jordan says, "Honesty Jordan. I think there is more to it then this girl isn't' that clever so there has to be more to it. How and where would she put these cars? Someone is helping her. I have a cousin that can go in there and ask for work.

You are giving this kid too much credit because she thinks because she's a minor that she is untouchable. And she's not so trust me. We are going to get her and her sister if she is the ringleader in all of this" he says. " Then you know I'm right, she did this because there is no way that you can afford a house in Ellicott City. On her salary just straight up like that no that's impossible there is more to it then we see Jordan" Trevor says. As they followed Sam who went to the garage watching her she was more even sure now.
