''That's the adrenaline rush I miss!'' I say as Johnny and I drive back to the house.
''Gonna be the last one for a while, Samantha.'' Johnny says. Little Jason isn't even born yet and Johnny's already acting like a dad.
"Well then, you've got something at least." Carly says. If she only knew... I can't keep it from her.
"This here briefcase is full of gold bricks. Easily thirty million right here." I say.
''Yeah... Dad, they're back!'' Carly says after we walk in, Johnny closing the door.
"Sam, you fucking psycho!" Dad yells. I just nearly died, caught on fire and had tons of Merryweather on my ass! This is the last thing I need. Before I can react, he hugs me, squeezing tightly.
"Dad you're killing your daughter!" I manage to say. He loosens his grip but doesn't let go. When did Dad become like this?
''Sorry but just don't scare the hell out of me.'' He says.
"Yeah, well it didn't go to plan and I only made off with a fraction of what I would've had if Carly had helped me." I say.
"Sam, I'm pregnant! If it didn't kill me, it would've killed Jason!" Carly shouts at me. I guess she didn't tell Dad about the entire plan because Dad has a shocked look on his face. "Yeah she wanted me with her." She says, tears forming in her eyes.
"Sam... that could kill the child." Dad says... fuck, it's not fair that Carly can have children and I can't! I don't know what it is but something in my mind snaps!
"All she had to do was fly a helicopter but no, her stomach got the better of her! I'm afraid no money goes where it wasn't earned!" I shout. If she helped, Carly and Johnny would be millions richer in a few weeks.
Carly walks into the backyard, slamming the sliding glass door shut. Oh boy... she only does that when she doesn't want anyone to see her cry. Johnny glares at me before following Carly outside.
I... that's my fault. I pick up the briefcase and leave when no one is looking, taking my Phantom home. Well, I say home, I've been renting a holiday log cabin since I got back.
As I stopped and went inside, I see a Piswasser can on the table so I go out again, returning with four crates of Piswasser.
I upset and hurt Carly... I don't want to think that. I start drinking, one after another, drowning myself in intoxication.
Johnny's p.o.v
''She didn't mean what she said, sugar.'' I say as I gently rub Carly's back, trying to calm her down.
She stops crying, resting against me as we lie back on the lounge chair.
What in hell's name has gotten into Sam?!
"John..." Carly silently sobs into my arm. Sam just went crazy over a train?! Then again, she said it was one of the reasons she came back.
If she was tracking that train while she was still trucking that's why she was so determined. It must have been from this Deck she was in love with.
I brush my hand against Carly's stomach and little Jason is kicking like crazy. He's mad because mommy's upset.
"We've just... we live among bad parents. Trevor was bad to Sam, Benson was and still is bad to Junior, Mom was bad to me... we can't be like any of them." Carly says.
''We won't be. Jason is never going to know what hatred is like.'' I say, gently kissing Carly on her forehead. Carly's calming down because Jason's kicking has calmed down. ''Now what do you say to us going back inside, watching a movie and ordering chinese food?'' I say as we sit up.
''I'd like that...and it's getting cold out here.'' Carly says before I pick her up in my arms and stand up, carrying Carly into the house after Michael opens the door.
''She's okay, just a little upset.'' I say, putting Carly on the couch.
''I wish that I knew what's wrong with Sam. She loves her older sister, she would never ask Carly to do anything that could hurt herself and Jason.'' Michael says after I walk over to him, letting Carly and Niko talk. No... Sam should be the one who should tell Michael, not any of us.
"Where does Sam live now?" I ask. Carly gets her phone, looking for a text she'd gotten from Sam a few weeks ago.
'Going back to Elstone ranch, driving is hectic in a truck in the city.'
"Elstone ranch, up in Paleto Bay. She's renting a cabin there." Carly says.
Michael walks over, hugging Carly before walking outside to his car, gets in and drives off. I hope that Michael can talk some sense into Sam. I walk over to Carly and sit next to her, putting an arm around her as she rests her head against my shoulder.
"This just isn't Sam. She'd never do stuff like this." Carly says.
"Remember how she mentioned that she got engaged and her partner died? That can do numerous things to people, especially when you watch them blow their own brains out." I say. I can't even imagine seeing that.
Carly nods before her phone rings, her grabbing it and handing it to me.
''Yeah?'' I say after answering it.
''John? Put Carly on the phone.'' Brad says. I guess that he was watching the news earlier. I put the phone on speaker.
"Brad? What is it?" Carly says into the phone.
"Please tell me why I just watched Niko's car chasing a burning train on live TV." Brad says.
''Sam hijacked one of Merryweather's trains, tried to get me to help her.'' Carly says.
"Get a pregnant woman to help steal a train?! What the hell was going through her mind?!" Brad says.
''I don't want to know. When I refused to help, things spiraled out of control!'' Carly says, her voice mixed of anger and sadness.
"She's like a milder Trevor." Brad says. Milder Trevor? With what happened earlier, Sam's exactly like Trevor!
"I wouldn't go that far... okay, maybe she is." Carly says, thinking of Trevor if he wasn't so extreme. That would make him like Sam used to be.
''Where is she staying?'' Brad asks.
''Elstone Ranch in Paleto Bay.'' Carly says.
''I'm on my way up there, you two stay at the house.'' Brad says.
"My Dad's on his way there too." Carly says.
"Michael? We haven't spoken since the job." Brad says. Damn, Michael doesn't even know he's alive yet!
''Don't kill each other.'' Carly says.
"Don't you worry about that, we'll be fine. You just rest up." Brad says.
Meanwhile, Elstone ranch.
Michael stopped his Tailgater outside Elstone ranch, seeing someone behind the shadow of the curtains.
Sam looked at a pile of Piswasser cans before releasing a loud burp, the wind knocking the cans over. One of them still had some beer in it so she drank that when she heard it moving around as the can fell.
"Sam?" Michael calls. Sam let out a pained, intoxicated grunt. ''Sam, open the damn door!'' He yells, pounding his fist against the locked door. Sam could tell that Michael was pissed off.
''Why should I?! You've already taken Carly's side in this fight!'' Sam yells drunkenly.
"Just let me in or I'll kick this door down!" Michael shouts. Sam just replied with another loud burp and Michael knew that at the same time, she was presenting a two fingered salute.
Michael backed up to kick the door down when he heard another car pull up and stopped, seeing Brad get out of the car.
''The hell are you doing here?'' Michael says as Brad walks over to him.
''Stopping Sam before she ends up killing herself!'' Brad says before knocking loudly on the door.
''Samantha Kenton, open this door right now!'' He yells.
"Samantha Kenton is dead! She died when Trevor took me in! Then Sam Philips died when Trevor went batshit! I'm Sam De... De... whatever the fuck my name is!" Sam shouts as the door unlocks.
"Sam I really wish life worked out for you." Brad says. Sam walks to the window, picking up another can of beer.
"Never mind! I don't need anybody! You think I'm not crazy? Just watch my smoke." Sam says before walking ahead, tripping and falling over on the bed and passing out on the floor.
Brad picks Sam up in his arms takes her out to the car, Michael following.
"She nearly drunk herself to death!" Brad says before getting in his car, following Michael's.
When they stopped, they were at the Klebitz house and Sam was awake.
"Oh I do love to drink myself to death!" Sam sung as she ran inside, tripping over the doorframe.
Carly put the orange chicken and half eaten chicken eggroll down and stands up to help but Johnny stops her, standing up and walks over to Sam, picking Sam up off of the floor.
"This really isn't the Sam I remember. What the hell happened to her mind?" Carly says.
"I don't know but it isn't good, whatever happened." Johnny says, taking Sam into the guest room with Michael following, leaving Carly with Brad.
Carly sits back down, putting her head in her hands and Brad walks over to Carly, sitting down and rubbing Carly's back.
''I wish that I knew what to do about this.'' Carly says, looking up at Brad like she used to when she was little.
"Sam just needs to sober up and then we can ask her." Brad says, followed by the sound of Sam breaking something in the guest bedroom and making weird noises.
"That may be a while." Carly says, looking at the door of the room. She remembered hearing Trevor breaking things when he would get drunk. ''When Sam asked me to help her... I kept thinking back to when Trevor threw me down the stairs... and what could've happened if I had helped Sam... I couldn't take that chance.'' She says as Brad hugs her, stroking her hair when she starts crying.
"What if she hates me?" Carly says, hundreds of thoughts running through her head.
''Carly, Sam could never hate you. You've both changed, your lives went in different directions.'' Brad says, brushing a hand against Carly's stomach after they let go.
He still couldn't believe that Carly is going to be a mom but he's happy for her.
''He already likes you.'' Carly says when Jason starts kicking excitedly.
"Of course he does, I'm Uncle Brad." Brad says.
"Yep, and Uncle Brad will kick the asses of anyone who tries to kick Jason's." Carly says, rubbing her stomach.
''That's right... hey, little man, take it easy on your mom, okay? Seriously, that doesn't hurt at all?''
Brad says.
''He just has some really strong legs.'' Carly says.
"Obviously." Brad says before going to the kitchen, looking for coffee.
"We have no coffee anymore, nobody drinks it!" Carly shouts, much to Brad's disappointment.
''Trevor said that you used to drink three cups a day.'' Brad says, finding herbal tea instead.
"You can probably work out why I stopped, caffeine." Carly says.
"Have you not considered decaf?" Brad asks.
''Tea's healthier for you, Brad.'' Carly says as Brad walks back over to her.
"I guess that's true." Brad says as he sits down.
"Can't be unhealthy for little Jason." Carly says as Johnny leaves the spare room. "Okay, what did she break?" She asks before the glass shards stuck in Johnny's hand gives it away.
"She broke the damn window?" Carly says as Johnny yanks the last glass shard out of his hand.
''Put her little fist through it. I was holding onto her so my hand went through it too.'' Johnny says.
"Damn, she can be vicious." Michael says, getting up and heading for the bathroom.
"Yep, she was right there." Johnny says as he pulls the glass shard out of his hand.
"If she's like that..." Carly struggles to say it.
"If she's like that, she can't be around Jason." Johnny finishes for her.
"I don't want that. Sam can't be banned from seeing Jason." Carly says. Jason kicked in what could be agreement.
