Chapter 42

At tops,which had just been re-opened since a day after being cleaned and fixed up again,regioneld had just finished his lunch and was on his way to the elevators when donna came up to him,looking pretty mad;"Stay away from me and my family!"

"What is it with everybody these days?"smiled regioneld surprised;"Can't I do something nice without everybody jumping down my throat for it?"

"If you don't go away and leave us alone I will make you regret it!"warned his daughter him angry;"I'd rather kill you myself then let you hurt somebody again!"

"Those are bigs words for you,donna."said he slowly and leaned towards her;"Do you think that you've got it in you to kill somebody in cold blood?"

"Just try me!"yelled donna just when her sister came out of the elevator,together with shane,and pulled out a gun;"Stay here and find out!"

"What the hell are you doing?"asked her sister shocked when she saw donna standing there with a gun pointed at regioneld;"Are you insane or something?"

"Do you really think that you can pull the trigger?"laughed regioneld and seemed pretty calm for somebody who was looking straight into a loaded gun;"It's one thing to point a gun at somebody,donna,but another to really shoot somebody with it!"

"Give me the gun!"said shane as he slowly grabbed donna's arm and took the gun away from her,while he turned towards regioneld;"Maybe you should go away to where ever you have to go,because you're only making things worse."

"Untill next time."smiled he and walked into the elevator;"Untill we meet again!"

"Have you totally lost your mind?"asked Nicole still in shock and grabbed donna's arm;"Don't you know how dangerous guns are,donna,what if it had gone off?"

"It will go off if he doesn't leave town!"answered her sister angry as she began to walk away;"I won't let him hurt our family again,Nicole!"

"Donna!"called she on after her,but donna didn't stop and got into the elevator before Nicole could stop her;"Wait a minute!"

"This is getting out of hand!"started her boyfriend worried;"You should talk to your sister or to Michael before she does something stupid."

"She wasn't going to use it,shane,she would never do something as stupid as that!"said Nicole softly;"Donna could never kill somebody."

"People can do crazy things when they are pushed far enough!"answered he;"The fact that donna had it with her when she came downhere is proof enough that she's ready and able to use it on your father!"

Later that day at the 's vince was laying on the couch in the livingroom when Kathleen came in with cass and ray;"Hi,pops,how are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling fine."answered he irritated;"Your mother keeps asking me that the whole time too."

"She's just worried about you,vince."laughed cass;"Everybody is."

"Where's your sister?"asked his father-in-law all of a sudden and turned towards Kathleen;"I've asked your mother about it,but she didn't give me a straight answer."

"Cheryl is probably at mary's place."answered Kathleen quickly;"Where is mama anyway."

"I didn't mean Cheryl,but m.j. because your youngest sister was here when we got back and your mother's upstairs putting the little boy,that was here when I got home,to bed,kathleen."said her father a bit angry;"She keeps avoiding all of my questions and I want to know what the hell is going on here!"

"Please just calm down,pops,before you end back up in the hospital."warned she him worried when mary came into the livingroom;"Is justin asleep?"

"Almost."answered mary and turned towards vince;"Jamie said that you couldn't get worked up over everything anymore,vince!"

"Then just tell me the truth and I won't have to get all worked up again!"started he again;"Where is m.j. and who's that kid,mary,why is he here?"

"That kid is your grandson,vince,his name is justin."said she softly;"He's m.j. and adam's son."

"Their what?"asked vince shocked;"How long have you known about this and why didn't you tell me,mary?"

"We found out not too long after m.j. came back from new York and we didn't tell you because you'd just had a heartattack."answered mary hesitating;"There's also something else that I haven't told you yet,vince,last saturdaynight m.j. got shot at her welcome-home party at tops and she's in the hospital."

"What else haven't you told me?"began he furious and got all worked up;"What else don't I know?"

"Calm down,pops!"warned his daughter him worried when she saw how upset her father was;"If you don't calm down right now I'm going to call up Jamie and make him send you back to the hospital again!"

"Okay,I will calm down."answered vince tired;"But I do want you to tell me everything that has been going on downhere and that I don't know about yet!"

"Only if you promise me that you will remain calm!"said mary;"I don't want you to have another heartattack!"

"I promise."said he softly;"Please just tell me the truth!"

At the cory's Amanda had just walked in after she'd been driving around for hours,when sam came out of the livingroom;"What are you doing here,sam?"

"Please just listen to me."begged he;"It wasn't like tara made it out to be!"

"I don't care what it was like!"said Amanda;"You cheated one me,sam,nothing that you say can make that sound any better!"

"But I never meant to cheat on you!"answered her husband;"I was so mad at you that night and at first I went to tops to get drunk,where I ran into mitch and he told me to go home,amanda,but I was so angry at you that I went somewhere else to get waisted."

"Did mitch know about you cheating on me?"asked she surprised;"You guys must have been laughing your heads off behind my back!"

"No,mitch just said that you were better off without knowing about my one mistake and that it would only hurt you."said sam tired;"Mitch was right."

"Your brother wasn't right at all,sam,he was just as stupid and dumm as you are!"yelled his wife furious,but calmed down a bit when she saw the look on his face and realized that she'd gone too far with that remark about his brother,who he had just lost,as sam suddenly turned around and walked away;"Sam…"

"I need to think."started he softly while he walked out of the house with Amanda right behind him and got into his car;"I'm really sorry about what happened,Amanda."

"Get out of that car,sam,you're in no state to drive with that arm!"warned his wife him worried and wanted to open up the cardoor,but he locked it from the inside;"Sam!"

"I'm sorry!"answered sam again and drove off,leaving Amanda behind.
