"Sam, please make your way to the bed."

"Umm, can I not?" Sam said, trying to find a way out of it. He did not want to get on that bed and have his memories shown. God and she knows what will be shown, though he did have an idea and it was something he would like to remain secret. "Do you want me to knock you out?" Lizzy said snarkly. She knew he didn't want his secrets out there but she felt it was better that all their secrets were out there. "No." he answered.

He really didn't want his memories shown but he knew the more he fought it the more suspicious it was. He had probably already blown the whole' I have no secrets so there's no reason for this.' path but he freaked and said the first thing that came to mind. Though as much as he doesn't want his memories shown, he doesn't want to be knocked out either, that would just be embarrassing. "Then get on the bed." "Okay."

He knew there was no way out of this. If he resisted she'd knock him out and continue so why fight it. He decided to cooperate and save the trouble. He could just hope that the memories she would show wouldn't be too bad. He walked up to the bed and sat down trying to ignore the stares that he could feel watching him as he walked. As he laid down, Liz toke pity on him and knocked him unconscious immediately, letting him dream of happy things like music and sports.

Memories Start

"Come on Sam! It's time to go." Said a man who looked in his mid to early 30's. A little blond boy who looked about six came running through the living room," Yay! Zoo!" he said before running out to the car. The man chuckled and followed the young kid, stopping at the kitchen to kiss a blond lady who looked a year or two younger than the man. "Hey, sweetie." "Hey, honey. Is Sammy excited to go to the zoo?" she asked as she began cleaning up two younger kids.

One was a boy around 3 with blond hair and blue eyes. The other is baby girl around one with short blond double ponytails. "Are the little prince and princess excited?" The man, who they presumed was the dad, asked the lady, also assumed as his wife, as he went up to tickle the two children. "Yeah, Stevey has been talking about it all through breakfast and even Stacy seemed to agree that it will be fun." The mom replied, going to pick up Stacy as the dad grabbed Stevey.

Before the dad could comment Sam ran in and whined," Come on! Time for the Zoo!" which made his siblings riled up. Stevey began to nod and chant Zoo while Stacy waved her hands around and giggled while making noises that were inn an attempt to copy her brother. "Okay, Okay. We're going." Laughed the dad as he walked to the car with Stevey while his wife and Stacy followed.

When they reached the car, Sam jumped in and bulked up in the right corner seat in the back. The dad buckled Stevey in on the right seat in the middle while the mom buckled Stacy in on the left middle seat with them all being in boaster seats or car seats. The mom then got in the passenger seat while the dad took the wheel. They began to drive to the road and went on a busy street while the memory sped up.

As they drove by a lake the memory went back to normal speed. Stacy was asleep while Stevey was not far from joining her. How, though, is a mystery as Sammy was talking and singing the whole ride. "Are we there yet?" asked Sam. "No." replied his mom, exasperated as though she'd already been asked a hundred times. "Oh." Sammy frowned and looked out the window. "Oh, look! A bird!" he said in excitement.

He watched it for a few seconds before looking down with his brow furred before turning back to face his mother and asked," Are we there yet?" "No." answered his dad. His dad looked at him from the mirror on the top of the dash, "The more you ask, the longer it is." He said. After that the whole memory seemed to slow down. The mom had been looking at the younger kids before she turned back to look at her husband. Suddenly, she screamed and the dad turned his eyes back to the road, but it was too late.

Young Sammy watched in horror as his dad tried to swerve but a red truck plowed right into the side of the car pushing it into the lake. Everything was slow and the Sammy screamed, Stacy woke and cried while Stevey's eyes widened. The dad tried to get back on the road and the mm watched in horror. The car's front hit the water and the car soon hit the bottom of the lake, luckily it wasn't too deep

Sadly, as the car almost hit the bottom Sammy closed his eyes and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't take things in fast enough. His dad was bloody and slumped over the air bag on the steering wheel, and somehow Sammy knew he wouldn't wake up. He may be young, but he was smart. His mom had cuts all over her face and was unconscious as her head was under the water.

Because of the way the car was, Stacy was in the water and Sammy could see red tinting the water around her. Stevey was dangling above the water as it continued to rise, filling the car. He had some cuts and was bleeding, but was alive. Sammy himself was beginning to feel pain as he was finally starting to take in what happened. He was bleeding. He had small cuts all over him from the glass, a bruise from where his seatbelt held him in place and his neck was a bit whiplashed. He could hear sirens in the distance and thought that if he could make it to his family, he could save them until help came.

Unfortunately, his seatbelt held him firmly in place and he couldn't reach them. Even if he could get out of his seats, he realized it would be hard to get to them because he was slightly pinned by some piece of metal that was on his side. He could only watch and struggle as the water rose and covered his little brother's face. The sirens suddenly seemed closer than ever and he heard rustling outside the car before a man broke through the window on his side and grabbed a knife from his pocket.

He cut the seatbelt off Sam and pulled him out of the car as it continued to sink in the water. The man carried Sam to safety and when he turned around to try and help the others the car was already underwater. Sam looked down in horror and was frozen in shock. He stood completely still for what seemed like hours but was proably only 20 minutes before a woman who looked like she was in her twenties came up to him and knelt down so they were almost the same height.

"Hi, Sam. My name is Ms. Jennifer, but you can call me Jen or Jenny, and I'm gonna be your social worker. Do you know what that means?" she asked and got no reply as Sam was still just staring at the lake in shock. "It means that I'm gonna find you a nice home to stay in with some very nice people. But I need you to come with me, okay?" She asked, taking Sam's hand and leading him to an ambulance that had arrived to get checked out.

He followed behind, mutely, as though a doll being dragged behind a child. After a blur of EMT's checking him and treating his cuts and bruises he was lead into a car by Jen. As she drove he looked out a window until they came to a friendly looking house. "Sam, this is Mr. and Mrs. Williams. You're gonna stay with them for right now, okay?" Jen asked as she brought him into the foster home and he nodded, still there but not all there. "I'll be by later to check on you." She said as she walked out, leaving Sam in a living room in an unfamiliar home. "Hi, Sam." Said Ms. Williams as the memory began to fade away.
