AT MAISON BLANCHE:

"Samantha, I thought if I punished you, tormented you the way you had my heart, used Kate to make you jealous... I thought if I did all of these things it could make me stop loving you, maybe even hate you," E.J. said, "but it's really just made me hate myself."

Sami was speechless. And suddenly E.J.'s hands were free from the rope.

Sami was too caught up considering his words to notice.

"Oh so you hate yourself now, do you?" Sami said with a scowl. "Well that makes two of us."

E.J. then let the rope around his hands slide to the floor and stepped around Sami to face her, bending down and cupping his newly freed hands around her face.

"Oh well in that case, shall I let you find your own way out of here, sweetheart?" E.J. asked her as he leaned in to give her a soft, swift kiss on the lips.

Normally, had Sami's hands been free, she would've tried to slap him, but Sami was too excited in that moment about the prospect of freedom to scold him. E.J. was pleasantly surprised by her reaction as he had been accustomed to her constantly rejecting his advances and expected no different this time.

"E.J., how did you do that?!" Sami marveled at his ability to free himself. "Well, don't just stand there! UNTIE ME NOW!"

"Shhhhh, Sami" E.J. said placing his right index finger over her lips. "You don't want Bart to hear you, do you?"

"Well, no. But what do you have in mind?" Sami wondered.

"Patience, my dear," E.J. whispered as he walked across the room and pressed his ear up against the door to hear Bart muttering to himself as he took swigs from a bottle of whiskey. Just as E.J. was about to step back toward Sami and begin plotting his course for escape, his sinuses got the best of him and he was unable to stifle a loud sneeze. "ACH-OOO!"

"Bless you," Bart said from his perch against the door in the hallway. "Hey, wait a second..."

E.J. panicked as he realized Bart had heard him.

"Bart is coming. Quick, Samantha. Blow out the candles!" E.J. whispered.

Sami obliged and bit her lip as E.J. vanished from her sight and the door opened.

Bart entered carrying a lantern in one hand and a pistol in the other. He saw the ropes around Sami on the floor and walked toward her.

"Hey, Blondie. What gives? Tell me where your boyfriend went."

E.J. held his breath anticipating what Sami would tell him.

"My boyfriend? Ha! Did you forget I'm married to Lucas? When I told E.J. I wouldn't run away with him that bastard escaped and left me here to die. See?" Sami said, turning her body to the side to show the ropes still tight around her wrists. "I swear E.J. better hope you are the ones to find him because if I get my hands on him, I'll..."

*CRASH* Bart collapsed to the floor.

Sami was astonished to see E.J. standing over him holding the handle of the broken whiskey bottle. He dropped it and walked toward her.

"Are you OK? You aren't hurt are you?" E.J. asked caressing her face with his right hand and staring deep into her eyes in a way that made her breath heavy and face flushed. "I must say I get more and more impressed with you every day I spend with you, Samantha. You are quite possibly the coolest liar I've met."

Suddenly she remembered her revulsion toward his advances and quickly turned her head away from his gaze.

"How about you save the compliments for when we're both free of this place, all right? Now untie me."

E.J. quickly obliged her request and handed her the lantern while he grabbed Bart's gun.

"Samantha, just follow me and I'll get us out of here, all right." E.J. said as he stepped out toward the hallway scanning his surroundings with his right arm outstretched holding the gun and ready to fire on any person who got in their way. Sami attached herself to his left arm and followed closely behind.

They walked back toward the fireplace passage they had entered earlier and said nothing but E.J. couldn't help but notice how tightly Samantha clung to him. How good it felt to have Samantha depending on him once again as her protector. The unspoken trust of that embrace he felt the same way when he tried to comfort her from the blackmail notes she received the previous summer.

"We're almost home free, my dear," E.J. said as he bent down to kiss her forehead and Sami smiled at him as he reached to press the button that would allow their freedom.

"I wouldn't be so sure of that," said a man with a familiar and menacing accent.

IN A CAR:

"Lucas, I am truly sorry for the pain she caused and any resentment you feel towards me because I was right, but despite how I feel about Sami, I have to tell you your news couldn't come at a worse time for me, for us," Kate replied.

"What do you mean, mom? How does this news affect you?" Lucas asked angrily. "If you're bummed because that British bum isn't around for you to have your disgusting fling with anymore, well just get over it!"

"No, son, it's not that," Kate said, her voice somewhat bitter due to the unhappy morsel of truth in Lucas's stinging accusation. "The reason I called you was to ask you to get back from that honeymoon of yours as soon as possible so we can pacify the shareholders at Mythic. Someone tipped off the shareholders to the profit skimming in those financial reports you discovered and we need to do some damage control fast or both our lives are over. I've tried calling E.J.'s cell phone about a hundred times to tell him to get his butt back here but his phone is turned off."

"Are you serious, mom?" Lucas asked. "But the only ones who knew about this was us and Billie... and E.J. Damn that, E.J. But why would he want this to get out? You know, no wonder he skipped down when he did. I can't believe Sami fell for his bull. Of course, why should I be surprised?"

"You know, Lucas, if we can prove that he ran off with Sami, then we can pin all this on E.J. and salvage the company," Kate said. "Do you still have the note?"

"Yeah I have the note," Lucas said looking at the crumpled piece of paper in the passenger seat. He sniffed as his upper lip firmed.

"Listen, Mom, I'm gonna head to the airport right now so I can get the first flight back to Salem. I can't wait to help the SEC take this bastard down."
