Chapter 2
Susan harrison was just coming out of her office at the hospital when she saw adam Cory towards her and she turned around to walk away again;"I don't want to talk to you!"
"Please,don't walk away?"begged adam as he grabbed her arm;"Just hear me out."
"Why should i?"asked susan a bit angry;"I thought that things were pretty clear lastnight at your party."
"I'm sorry,susan,i was drunk lastnight and if i acted like a jerk then i'm sorry."said her boyfriend slowly;"I don't even remember what happened."
"I don't want to waist my time with somebody that's still in love with his ex,adam,i just won't!"
"But i'm not in love with m.j. and i really don't understand where you got that idea from."answered adam;"What did i do or say lastnight to gave that idea to you?"
"I overheard you and jake talking about her,adam."said susan slowly;"When i heard the sound of your voice as you were talking about her i suddenly knew that you would never feel the same way about me as you do about her!"
"Did i tell jake that i was still in love with my ex?"asked he confused;"What were we talking about?"
"You two were talking about how difficult it was for her family that nobody knew where she was and then jake said that he wished that she's come back again."answered his girlfriend;"You should have heard the tone in your voice when you were talking about her." "I am not in love with my ex and i can't believe that you would believe that just because i was talking to jake about how hard it is for her family that they don't know where she is or if she's okay!"started adam a bit angry;"Do you really think that i would be with you if i still had feelings for her?"
"I don't know,adam,all i know is what i heard lastnight."
"You heard wrong!"answered he and calmed down,while he put his arms around her and kissed her;"I'm with you,susan,so don't worry so much."
At the same time the policestation was almost empty,except for shane Cassidy and ryan harrrison,who were working in their office.
"What do you think?"asked ryan and turned towards shane;"Do you think we can catch those guys before they hit another store or gasstation?"
"I don't know,ryan,i hope so."answered he looking up from his papers;"These guys are so good and we've got so little to go on."
"Well,atleast they don't hurt anybody when they attack a place."
"I'm afraid that if we don't stop them that somebody might get hurt eventually."started shane slowly;"That is just a matter of time with these things."
"I'd just wish that we got a break, shane,something that could lead us to who-ever is doing this!"answered ryan irritated;"These guys have robbed over 3000 dollars by now."
"I know and it's fustrating not beefing able to do anything about it yet,but we will catch them."said his partner;"It's just a matter of time and good policework."
"If only we had a witness or something,shane,maybe we could catch these guys then."
"We will catch them,ryan,don't worry about it."
"But what if they hurt or kill somebody before we can stop them?"asked ryan worried;"What then?"
"All we can do is our job and hope that we get a break."answered shane slowly;"We aren't supercops,ryan,we can't prevent bad things from happening."
Later that day jamie was just walking into his parents' livingroom when he ran into his brother-in-law;"Hai,sam,where is everybody?"
"Your parents are out and i don't know where your sister is."answered sam and wanted to walk further;"Bye."
"What is going on?"asked jamie as he stopped sam;"Are you and amanda fighting again?"
"That's all we seem to be doing these days."said his brother-in-law tired and sat down on the caugh;"She went horsebackriding this morning and when i said something about that she got mad at me,jamie."
"Has she gone nuts?"asked he suprised;"I told her not to do that now that she's pregnant again, sam,especially after last time."
"I know,but try telling amanda that!"answered sam;"I don't know anymore,jamie,it's almost as if everything that i say or do makes her angry."
"That's probaly only because she's pregnant right now,sam,i wouldn't worry too much about it."
"But i do worry about it,jamie,do you have any idea what it's like having to watch every word you say and everything that you do just because you're afraid that you might get into a fight with your wife?"asked he softly;"I just wish that amanda would understand why i want to move out of here and get a place of our own."
"I think that it's perfectly normal for you to want to move out of here and get a place of your own."said jamie;"Nobody wants to live with their in-laws forever."
"Well,if it's up to your sister we will be staying here forever."answered sam angry;"She said that she isn't ready yet and that i'm beeing unreasonable."
"I don't think that you're beeing unreasonable, sam,i wouldn't want to stay with my in-laws forever."
"Are you talking about me?"asked an angry voice behind them all of a sudden and when they turned around they saw amanda standing there;"Are you talking to my brother about us?" "It isn't like that, amanda."said her husband tired;"I just said that i don't want to fight with you all the time anymore." "That's great, sam,you're complaining about me to my brother!"answered amanda furious as she turned around;"That's just great!"
"Wait a minute,amanda,that's not what sam was doing!"started her brother slowly and grabbed her arm;"Sam loves you and he only wants what is best for you."
"Sure,jamie,take his side!"said she and pushed her brother away,while she started to walk away again;"Go to hell!" "Great!"said sam softly as they watched his wife walking away;"Now i'm really in the doghouse."
"Don't worry, sam,she'll get over it."answered his brother-in law;"Once she's calmed down."
Donna hudson was sitting out on the patio when one of her daughters came outside;"Where is marlee?"
"How should i know?"asked vicky irritated;"Do i look like her personal-assistant?"
"It was just a question,victoria?"said donna a bit suprised;"Why are you in such a bad mood?"
"I'm not in a bad mood!"answered her daughter angry as she started to walk away again;"Just leave me alone."
"What's up with vicky?"asked nicole and came outside,after she had almost been knocked down by her niece;"What did you say to her?"
"Nothing."said donna slowly;"She's been like this eversince we came back from tops."
"Maybe she's having men-troubles."laughed her sister and sat down;"Has she been seeing anybody lately,donna?"
Not that i know,but then again victoria doesn't really convide in me anyway."answered she;"But i did notice that she's been acting strange and sneaky lately."
"Well maybe vicky has got a secret lover or something."
"Why would she want to keep her having a boyfriend a secret?" "Maybe it's somebody that you and michael wouldn't like if you knew."said nicole teasing and started laughing when she saw her sister's worried face;"Hey,i'm just teasing you,donna,don't look so worried."
"But what if you're right,nicole,what if victoria is involved with somebody that isn't right for her?"asked donna worried;"What if this guy will hurt her or something?"
"I doubt if it's anything like that, donna. "laughed her sister;"Besides, vicky is a grown woman and i'm sure that she can take care of herself."
At mary's place vince was standing in the kitchen,talking to his youngest daughter while he was cleaning up,when all of a sudden he got dizzy and had to hold on to the table to prevent himself from falling down,while he closed his eyes. "Paps?"asked Cheryl worried and grabbed his arm;"Are you allright?"
"I'm fine."answered vince as he opened his eyes ;"It's okay." "No,it's not,paps."said his daughter as she wanted to walk away;"I'm going to get mama."
"No,don't!"begged he and grabbed her arm;"Don't tell your mother!"
"Why not?"asked Cheryl confused;"You almost collapsed just now,paps,you need to see a doctor."
"There's no need for that,honey,it was probaly just the heat or something like that."answered vince and tried to smile;"I'm fine now,cheryt,there's no need for us to worry your mother." "But don't you think that mama would want to know about it?"
"If i promise you to see a doctor this week will you promise me not tell your mother then?"asked her father slowly;"Promise me,cheryl." "Allright then."answered she softly;"But you have to promise me that you will go and see a doctor this week, paps, promise me!"
"I promise."smiled vince as he gave his daughter a hugg;"Hey,don't look so worried, honey, everything's fine."
