"Sami, I didn't realize that you were here." Abe began exchanging glances
with Eric.
"What's going on Abe?" Sami asked worried by his urgency. "Is something wrong
with my father?"
"Eric, did you..." Abe started turning to face
Eric.
"I didn't get to tell her yet." Eric explained to him.
"Didn't
get to tell her what?" Sami demanded with anger in her voice.
"Why don't you try to relax Sami?" Jenny suggested touching her shoulder. "I'm
sure that we can explain everything if you would just calm down."
"I will
not calm down!" Sami snapped backing away from Jenny. "I have a right to know what's
going on."
"Shut up Sami!" Eric yelled at her as she stared back at him in shock.
"What did you just say to me Eric?" she asked astounded by what he had to
say.
"I said 'shut up Sami' !" Eric repeated turning to face Abe. "Now what did you
have to tell me Abe?"

"I'm freezing Doc." John explained shutting the door to the cabin after following
her inside.
"Well, you should've thought before you jumped into the
water with your robe on." she laughed looking at him drying himself off with a towel as he
shivered beneath his soggy black robe.
"It wasn't the water that made me freeze out there. In fact, being in the water was
one of the hottest moments of my life." he smiled remembering her grand entrance. "I
must say that you put on one hell of a show Dr. Evans."
"Only when I have a perfect audience Mr. Black." she teased as he walked towards
her.
"Tell me something, have you pulled that one before?" he asked looking
her over.
"Pulled what?" she asked innocently as she played with the tie on her robe. "I was
just going for a swim."
"Doc, you know what I mean." he insisted watching her twirl the robe tie around
in her hands.
"Well, there was this other time a long time ago when I was with this incredibly
handsome man..." she began pretending to think about it. "I can't quite recall his name,
but he was a fantastic lover. Come to think of it, perhaps, it was only a dream."
"Really?" he asked removing his drenched clothing as his eyes remained fixed on
her.
"Uh-huh." she replied mesmerized by the sight of his muscular body.
"I suppose that was only a once in a lifetime experience, huh Doc?" he asked towel
drying himself in front of her.
"I think so." she replied motionless.
"That's too bad." he insisted watching the effect he had on her.
"So..." she began watching him step closer to her.
"So..." he whispered dropping his towel on the floor and grabbing a hold of her
robe tie, "what do you say we repeat history tonight Doc? Let's see if I can compare to
your fantasy lover."
"It's worth a try." Marlena agreed as he pressed his mouth to hers.

"I need to get a hold of John and Marlena. I went to the hospital to talk to them,
but they were gone." Abe explained as he entered the apartment as Sami calmed down.
"We may have found some kind of lead."
"Lead on what?" Sami asked desperately wanting to find out what the secret was.
"Will someone clue me in on what is going on around here?"
"Eric, I think that we should probably tell her." Jenny urged him as Sami grew
irritated. "She has a right to know."
"Know what?" she asked again.
"Sami..." Eric began taking in a deep breath.
"Hey, what's going on in here?" Carrie asked walking into the apartment with Mike
at her side. "I saw that the door was open and..."
"Oh great." Sami sighed looking at Carrie as everyone grew silent.
"Carrie, do you know where John and Marlena went off to?" Eric asked breaking
the silence. "Abe needs to talk to John."
"Sure, Mike and I helped plan a romantic getaway for John and Marlena. They
went away to a cabin that John has up north." Carrie began to explain. "He has his cell
phone on him I think."
"Great. I think that I'll try giving him a call then. I'll be right back." Abe said
walking out into the hall.
"Go figure you witch!! You really don't care about daddy do you?" Sami shouted
at her. "You like to see him hurting, don't you?"
"Dad hurting?" Carrie asked astonished by her remark. "After what he did to
Marlena, John, and Eric yesterday, the last thing on my mind is dad's pain."
"What he did to Eric?" Sami repeated turning to her brother. "What is she talking
about?"
"Sami, I need to tell you something about dad." Eric began leading
her over to the couch and taking a deep breath. "I don't know how to say this to
you..."
"What is it Eric?" she asked glancing over at Carrie and Mike.
"Sami,
you aren't going to like what I have to tell you, but you have a right to know the truth."
Eric began explaining to her.
