Laurie slaps Mia.
She placed her hand on her cheek. She was in complete shock.
"I cannot believe you." Laurie hissed.
Mia peered at Laurie and began to process what was happening. She raised her hand and slapped Laurie back.
"Oh you bitch…" She lunged for Mia but what suddenly stopped.
"Laurie, she's not worth it." April said as she held back the struggling Laurie.
"April let me go! If you won't do it I'm going to. I'll hit her right in her damned face!"
"Come on Laurie. Let's go. She's not worth it, at all."
"April she deliberately said that to hurt you. She talked Kyle into having sex and she's had this coming for quite some time now."
"I know what Mia did and it's okay. I'm not blind to that fact that she's a conniving slut now."
"April… please… just let me hit her." She now said helplessly.
"I'm not going to let you. Come on, we're going."
Sarah stopped the car in Amir's driveway. They both got out of the car. "Here let me get one of those." Sarah said as she took one of his suitcases out of his hand. They walked up to the front door in silence. She set his suitcase down. "I guess I'll see you later Amir." She turned around and walked back to the car.
"What have I done…?" He asked himself quietly.
She backed out of the driveway and turned down a road leading towards Sea Escape townhouses. She knew what she had to do next.
Ethan held the picture in his hand. He had thought of all the possible explanations. There was no way this was Noah or himself. "Who is this…?" He muttered for the hundredth time since he had found the picture.
Simone walked into Ethan's bedroom. "Hi Ethan."
He half jumped but quickly recovered and put the picture into the nightstand by the bed. "Simone. What can I do for you?" He rose from the bed and walked over to her.
"Noah wasn't too mean to you last night was he?"
"No… not at all… actually he apologized to me."
"Really?"
"Yes… I was surprised."
"Hm… Well, we went out and got a Christmas tree. Charlotte wants to know if you would like to help decorate."
"Sure…"
He opened the door and let her in. "You're late."
"I know. One of my meetings ran late."
"You do still want to make her pay don't you?"
"Of course I do Kyle."
"I think you need to be more dedicated to the cause then. I called you three times last Thursday and you never called me back."
"Kyle it was Thanksgiving for God's sake. Can we just finish this and stop fighting?"
"I'm sorry Elizabeth… Come into the living room." As they began to walk towards the living room the door flew open.
"It's pay day Elizabeth." Sarah said coldly and she slammed the door.
Maria put the last ornament on the tattered, fake white Christmas tree. She had done the best she could with what she had. She sighed sadly looking at the tree. "I suppose it could be worst…"
Her father stormed into the room, his face was red with fury. He walked over to the shabby Christmas tree, picked it up and slung it across the room.
"D-Daddy…"
"I don't know why in the hell you even bothered to put that ugly thing up! Get it out of here!"
"I-I'm sorry…"
"We don't have any money for Christmas. We're not going to have a Christmas. All you greedy kids are worried about it getting presents. I know. You're not fooling me. Do you hear me we have no money for Christmas!"
She turned away, "maybe if you didn't spend all your money on cigarettes and gambling--" She muttered.
He reached out and grabbed her wrists dragging her towards him. "What did you say? What did you just say to me?"
"I-I--"
He raised his hand high in the air and slapped Maria. He pushed her to the ground and pointed his finger at her, "don't you ever talk to me like that again? Do you hear me girl? I said do you hear me?"
"Y-Yes…"
Philip knocked on Laurie's dorm room. No answer. He pressed his ear up against the door and listened. Nothing. He took the lock pick out of his pocket and unlocked the door. He walked in, flipped on the light and shut the door. "So this is where she lives…" He looked around the small surroundings. There was a couch facing a TV with a glass coffee table in between. Off to the side was a desk with a computer. He opened the door by it. Her bedroom. He heard the door open and quickly shut the door and turned around.
She threw her keys on the table by the door, looking up she screamed and jumped back toward the door.
"Laurie, Laurie. It's me Philip."
She breathed in heavily and placed her hand on her chest. "My God Philip you scared the hell out of me."
"I'm sorry."
"Wait… why are you in my dorm room?"
"Well… I suppose it was very rude of me to just invite myself in. Um. I was standing outside, waiting for you and people kept giving me strange looks. I felt really uncomfortable and your door was unlocked so I walked in… I hope you're not upset."
"That's funny I don't remember the door being left unlocked…"
"Laurie. I came to ask you a question."
"Yes?"
He shifted nervously. "Would you like to go to out to dinner with me?" He asked shyly.
"Of course I would Philip. Let me just change my outfit. I'll just be a minute. Make yourself comfortable."
"Sure. It's no problem at all."
"What in the hell is she talking about Elizabeth?"
"Well… um."
"Kyle, honey. This won't affect you. Unless your little partner in crime here doesn't pay up."
"Elizabeth, what is she talking about?" He asked more sternly.
"Sarah…"
"Sarah…?"
"Sarah overheard our plan that night." She said quickly.
"Oh excellent! Just great. What does she want?"
"Hello. I'm in the room."
"I'm not exactly sure. However, I have an idea…"
"Okay Kyle, Elizabeth let's just cut the crap and get straight down to business. Elizabeth you get Trevor Gale out of jail by next week and I want go to Felicia with this." She waved the tape and put it back in her pocket. "It's really simple. Don't make it complicated."
"She'll go to Felicia. Elizabeth you know that. She's only out for herself."
"And there's a problem with that…? Kyle, I like you and I really don't want to ruin your plans for Felicia. I just want my friend out of jail. I'll do basically anything to get him out. Now I'll let you two get back to whatever it is you all are plotting. Elizabeth, make the right decision." She walked out of the apartment. Ah the sweet taste of victory.
Austin knocked on Laurie's door for the second time. "Come on Laurie… where are you?"
"She's not there." The girl that lived next door said as she unlocked her door. "I saw her walking away with some guy about thirty minutes ago." She disappeared into her room.
"Some guy…? I wonder who he could be…"
Ethan picked up the phone, "hello?"
"Hey. Can I talk to Sarah please?"
"She's not here right now. Do you want me to give her a message?"
"Um… no."
"All right then--"
"Actually… Will you tell her that Am-No. Never mind I'll just call back later… I guess." He hung up the phone. He hadn't slept at all last night. Up all night wondering… wondering. "Ah!" He shook his head. "I need to get out of this house." He opened the door and walked to his car.
Trevor sat at a table by himself in the cafeteria. It wouldn't be too long before he could eat some real food again.
Two large men with a smaller man in the middle walked towards Trevor. "Yo, kid. Mister Sorelli would like to have a word with you." One of the men barked out as he pressed his hands down on Trevor's shoulders.
"You messed with the wrong guy this time kid." Sorelli spoke calmly. "No one double crosses Sorelli, understand?" He watched Trevor gulp. "Yeah kid you should be scared because come Christmas day." He ran his index finger horizontally across his neck. He picked up Trevor's roll and took a bite out of it. "Enjoy your meal kid." He signaled the man holding Trevor to release his grip. "Come on boys."
A bead of sweat rolled down his temple. He got up and asked the guard to use the phone. He was lead to a pay phone.
"Hello?"
"Sarah. It's Trevor."
"Hey baby--"
"Look. You have got to get me out of here, soon."
"Is it that guy again?"
He looked around making sure no one was listening. "Yes…"
"I just got done talking to her. You'll be free in no time."
"God I can't wait. Whatever you have on her must be pretty damn good."
"She would only loose her job and probably be murdered if I ratted her out."
"She deserves it. I'm going to go babe."
"Bye Trevor…" She put her cell phone back in her purse and got it to her car.
Austin slyly walked into the restaurant. Laurie's favorite restaurant? This was becoming weirder by the moment. First she's seen walking away with some strange man and now she was dining with him at her favorite restaurant. He slipped into the booth in front of them. There was a wall in between the booths but he could clearly hear them.
"Laurie, I don't mean to rush things. And let me know if I'm being out of line. But just sitting here talking to you… it's… amazing. You're an amazing person."
"Aw, Philip. You are too kind."
"I really mean it… I'm glad we met each other."
"So am I Philip. So am I." She smiled and took a sip from her iced tea.
Sarah opened the door and put her suitcase down. She sighed tiredly. She was greeted with a hug from Ethan. "Uncle Charles is here."
"Really?"
"Where's my favorite daughter?"
"Dad." She walked towards him and hugged him. "I must say I'm surprised you're here."
Charlotte, Simone and Noah walked into the foyer. "Hey sis." Noah said, "how was your trip?"
"Eh… it had its ups and downs."
Ethan looked at the group that he was in the midst of. Everyone was smiling. So this is what it looks like. A family, a real family. He had finally found what he had always been wanting. A family. His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the doorbell ringing. "I got it."
The remaining Robinson's turned to see who the unexpected visitor was.
He opened the door. "Oh my God…" He shuddered.
The young woman with tear stained cheeks and a large handprint on her left cheek looked past Ethan and at the five people standing behind him. She turned quickly and began to run away.
Ethan looked back at his family but turned quickly to catch up with. "Maria!" He called out.
She collapsed to the ground. He dropped down beside her and cradled her in his arms. "What has he done to you? What has he done?"
Simone and Sarah walked out on the porch and watched the scene. They had not been seen by Ethan or Maria. "Who is that girl?" Sarah asked.
"Maria…"
"Come on. Let's go get them. Not all of Heaven Beach needs to see this…" She said calmly as she walked towards them. Simone following suit.
Kyle held two large envelopes in his hand as he walked towards the mailbox. One was addressed to Pinõn Hallow, Colorado and the other was addressed to Ginger Falls, Hawaii. He and Elizabeth finished their plans for Felicia. He would see the plan through and after he would hopefully never have to set eyes on Heaven Beach again. He kissed the envelope addressed to Pinõn Hallow. "Bring me good luck baby."
Felicia jolted up from her sleep. They were back… again. The two men and one woman crawled their way towards Felicia's bed. "G-Get away from me… You don't exist."
"We're back Felicia…" One of the men said as the other man grinned evily at Felicia.
All three of them had pale skin and dark circles under their eyes. They wore tattered white shirts and black pants. "Get away… Leave me alone."
The first man reached the bed first and pulled at Felicia's sheets.
"Don't touch me!" She snatched her sheet away from him.
"Don't resist us Felicia. We're only here to help you." The woman pleaded.
"Yes you need us. We're the only ones on your side."
"… And we bring you a warning." The second man chimed in.
"W-What kind of warning?"
"Trust no one…"
"Your closest friend is your worst enemy…"
"Who?"
"Elizabeth."
"Yes Elizabeth--"
"Elizabeth's the one…"
"No. No I won't believe you. I won't believe you! Leave me alone!" She began to break down and buried her head in her lap. "Just leave me alone…"
"We'll be back…"
"Oh yes we will…"
"We will always be back."
She looked up. They were gone. Everything was going so well and now they were back. But this time Kyle Roberts was with them… "No… No… It isn't possible. It isn't possible. They can't be back…" The three people she had harmed most her aunt, Gregory Smith and now Kyle Roberts… They were going to haunt her… forever…
