Chapter 14:

Wyatt is sitting in his living room reading a book and sipping a scotch. Sally comes in, "Hey Wyatt, I have something to tell you."

Wyatt looks up, "What's up?" He smiles sweetly at Sally.

Sally's stomach turns as she sees her sweet boyfriend, knowing she is going to break his heart in a few minutes. "Um, I just got a call from Coco. Her and Gran moved to Wisconsin, a town called Genoa City."

Wyatt remembers hearing about that town, he believes Forrester has done work with some boutiques in that town. "Ok," He is starting to sense that he is not going to like what Sally is going to tell him.

"Coco tells me that Gran is sicker than she is telling me. Gran doesn't want to tell me because she doesn't want me worrying." Sally takes a deep breath, "I'm going to move there and take care of her."

Wyatt feels his stomach sink, "We can mover her here, the southern California weather can do her good." Wyatt suggests.

"She won't leave. Coco says she tried suggesting that but Gran is too stubborn."

"Then I'll go with you." Wyatt suggests, "We can stay until she gets better or convince her to come back home."

Sally begins to cry, "Wyatt don't make this harder than it has to be. I'm going and I'm going alone. I'm so sorry." She walks over to him and places a hand on his cheek as his eyes begin to form tears. Sally leans up and kisses him on the cheek, "I love you." She simply says as she walks out.

Wyatt sits on the couch and slams the last of his scotch before pouring himself a new glass and just lets himself cry.

The next day Wyatt is sitting in his office. The door flies open and Bill walks in with a huge smile on his face. Without reading the room Bill just begins talking, "Wyatt have you heard the wonderful news?"

Wyatt looks up trying to hide his pain, not knowing if his father has found out about Sally leaving and is rubbing it in. "What good news Dad?"

"Your brother's daughter is alive!"

"What?" Wyatt says stunned, "How is this possible?"

"It's the little girl that Steffy adopted, Phoebe. She is actually Beth. That monster Buckingham kidnapped her. That sick son of a bitch actually placed a dead baby in Hope and Liam's arms."

Wyatt feels sick to his stomach, what kind of monster does that to another human being. Suddenly a realization washes over Wyatt...Flo, his childhood sweetheart was part of this. He looks up at his father, "Flo?"

"Yes, she was part of it. Buckingham paid her $50,000 to pose as Beth's birth mother." Wyatt can't believe the woman he once loved would do something so disgusting and cruel, to anyone let alone her sister. "The police have actually contacted me to talk to you."

Wyatt looks up even more blindsided, "Me? Why?"

"Flo is on the run, they think she may reach out to you. I told them they could stake out Spencer, they want to put an undercover close to you."

"Of course, anything to get justice for Beth." Wyatt says still trying to absorb all of this information. He had once loved Flo, but an unfamiliar feeling starts to sink over him. A hatred for the woman he once loved, she was no longer that. She was a monster who kidnapped a child and trafficked her, not just any child, his niece.

After a long day at the office, Wyatt comes home and plops on the couch and rubs his temples. After a few minutes he gets up to pour himself a drink. He takes a sip, a voice from the room startles him, "Wyatt." Wyatt turns around and drops his glass, his jaw drops. Standing in front of him in the doorway to his bedroom is Flo. "I was careful to make sure Sally wasn't here, I'll talk fast before she comes home."

Wyatt wants to keep her talking, "Sally left, we're not together anymore." He knows the police will be here any second, he gave them permission to wire tap his house in case of this scenario right here.

Flo smiles, "Then we can be together again," She says as she walks up to Wyatt and puts her hands up to his cheeks. He catches her hands before she can touch him. She can see the serious look on his face, did he know. He had to understand why she did it. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? You posed as the mother of my niece and sold her for $50,000!"

"Wyatt you don't understand, I had no choice. I had to help out a friend and I needed money. She was with a loving mother."

"You think that's an excuse? My brother mourned his daughter for almost the first year of her life. And what kind of friend needs help trafficking a human!" Flo looks away ashamed, "And what kind of person agrees to it?" Wyatt looks at Flo with disgust.

Before Flo can try to defend herself the police bust in, "Florence Fulton, your under arrest for human trafficking." The police surround Flo and handcuff her.

She looks up at Wyatt trying to get sympathy, Wyatt just looks at her with pure hatred as the police take her away.
