Chapter 6

Gregor knew from the minute Sam didn't arrive, that something was wrong. Sam never broke promises, if she said that she would come, then she would. Always a keeper of her words. He had this bad feeling in the pit of his stomach, that said that it wasn't just a hold up.

But he shrugged it off, thinking that maybe the party went in the wee hours of night, or maybe Kitty had gotten a hold of Sam before she could come out.

Or maybe she just got late and his ship had already left. However, he was not expecting a news that scared the living demons inside of him. At first he didn't believe it, saying that Kitty was just playing one of her dirty tricks. But the sound of her voice said otherwise. He was at his second troll, and him and the crew were going for a second round to catch salmon. He was just chatting freely with his friends, when his cell phone rang.

He went to pick it up, and was delivered the news. He was silent, then his resolve broke, and he took another boat and left the sea, without even uttering a word.

The trip to the hospital in his small jeep was agonizing. His eyes were red, not because of tears, but because of anger. His middle finger was caressing the ring on the third finger all the way. Then he came in the hospital, asked the receptionist of the room number. And ran straight towards the room in which she was. She was lying on the bed, her eyes puffy, and her face pale. Kitty was trying real hard to make her eat some soup, but she was just looking at the ceiling with her lips parted. As if, she were tracing patterns on the ceiling, or maybe just in deep thought.

His entrance just caused her to flinch.

He went towards her bedside, "Sam!" he just spoke her name, she looked at him and then started crying again. Kitty placed the bowl of soup on the side table, and placed her head in her hands. It had taken her forever to make Sam stop crying. And she obviously cared for herself at that time.

Sam was just hoping she could get some care, someone who she could lean on. And if there was any person, whom she would trust with everything, then that would be Gregor, "Greg!" she croaked, still crying and sobbing uncontrollably. She reached a hand forward. But he made no move to touch her. He was repulsed. He wasn't even looking her straight in the eye.

She was reaching out to him, and he was backing away. He snapped, "WHO DID THIS?" he screamed at the top of his lungs. She backed away. He came forward and seized her by the shoulders, and shook her harshly, "Who did this?" again he was screaming, and she was backing away. She screamed, because this was not how she wanted to lean on him. She pulled her hands up and covered her ears as he screamed and shook her.

Gregor was beyond furious. And Kitty was pushing him back. The doctors and Johnny came, they managed to pull him back.

Sam was still crying and screaming. She was shaking her head and trying to block it all away. This was how they held her, harshly. And now the behavior she expected from the devil itself, was being practiced by the man she loved. The man who was going to help her pull through this. The man who was going to bring her justice. But he was screaming, and when Kitty told him about the men who had done this, well that was enough for Gregor to leave.

He stomped out of the place which repulsed him. From the person who repulsed him.

He went out in the crispy night sky and drove back to a place where he could blow of his anger. Leaving Sam to believe that there would be no one there to help her pull through this. No one, she was alone and the screaming and yelling on Gregor's behalf had proved her that. She was embraced by her brother, so that he could give her some comfort. She kept discriminating the feelings of both touches.

O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O

Skulker was the right hand man of Vlad. In every situation he would help him, hoping to gain some respect in the eyes of the man who was his sister's husband.

Right now, helping Vlad's sons was something that could help him bonus his respect in the eyes of the billionaire. So it would be helpful for his near future. He was walking on the tiles of the hospital, that he was told where he would find the girl. If not the girl, then maybe her family members might be more cooperative. He asked the receptionist for the room number. He walked towards his destination.

It wouldn't be late, considering the girls situation. She wouldn't be able to convey much to the police. She woud be too...broken right now. Skulker thought with a smirk.

He walked towards the room, the door was ajar. He caught a glimpse of girl, who was lying on the bed, in a pool of her own tears. Skulker smirked again, this would be too easy. According to his research on the family, the girl was an orphan, along with her brother who was already married with a child. The family was in critical situation, because the girl was a cook at a small restaurant, and the sister-in-law worked as a maid for a family.

The brother was more of a carer of the house. Not much help for supporting the family.

He was going to enter the room, but the sister-in-law came out, muttering the whole way about what kind of sit up this was, and how the girl had gotten all of them in trouble along with herself. Oh can this get any more easier. When the girl shut the door behind her, she met with a man in a suit with a brief case, who had green eyes and silver hair, which were pretty much scarce. She stopped, all of a sudden, "Are you a cop?" she asked. The man just laughed and shook his head, "No miss, but I think that it would be better if we talked in private! How about the cafeteria? We could get something to eat?" she looked at him, unsure of what to do.

Skulker thought, that maybe he should check for her stability, and how much helpful she might be, "I'll pay for the food!" he offered and she grinned suddenly, "Okay!" she said cheerfully. And Skulker knew that he had the bait in the bag.

They both walked towards the cafeteria, "By the way, my name is Julien Skulker! Please to meet you miss...?" he brought out his hand. She shook it enthusiastically, "Katelyn Manson!" Skulker nodded. They entered the cafeteria, and took a seat in the far corner of the room. He pulled out his brief case, and opened it, swirled it around so that it faced Kitty. What Kitty saw, made her eyes widen, they were wide as dinner platters.

She saw green, lots of green, with Benjamin's on it. It might have been what?...5 thousand dollars? But it was money and that was enough for her.

He saw the twinkle in her eye. But she looked up at him with her eyes narrowed, "Who are you? And what do you want?" she asked icily. He threw his head back and laughed, "I am the Master's private lawyer. Also a family member. I heard of what happen. And what you are about to do, or already done." She backed up in her chair. If this was their lawyer, then what happen to Sam was true. And the culprits were the same.

But what does he want from me, Kitty thought. She looked in her lap and her eye brows furrowed, "What does it have to with..." she motioned her hand towards the money, "...this. And..." she pointed at herself, "...me?"

Skulker looked at her pointedly, then smirked, "Don't tell the police anything. Or else..." he trailed, and she eyed him suspiciously, "Or else what?" this man was emitting a bad vibe, and she didn't like it.

He laughed, "Or else, all of you will be running in a blood bath. Know this...Katelyn, we have this much wealth that we could buy and sell your souls millions of times. So I suggest that you coöperate, and do exactly as I say. You'll be in benefit, believe me." Kitty gulped. What was she supposed to do, if Sam told the police of what happened, then this guy would kill them. But if she didn't tell the police, then all the money will be theirs, and they would be saved of the humiliation.

She just had to take the man's option, she nodded, "What do you want me to do?"

Okay, so I just wanted to say that Kitty is like a good (less) bad (more) kind of person. If there is any confusion then do ask. And review. Also I just wrote a one-shot, read it. It is just so cheesy that it made my sister gag. But I know she liked it. So check my profile for it.
