Ian POV

"She's in Room 562. It's just her and the boy. She hasn't left the room since she checked in and it doesn't seem that she has been in contact with Zara," Josh said. He was one of Cason's men assigned to watch Sabrina.

"We have surveillance set up outside and inside. When we sent the runner in, we had a guy dressed up like maintenance doing an inspection so we have several bugs and a recorder in the phone."

"Seems like you have all bases covered," I said taking a seat in the room across the hall from Sabrina's.

"Any word on Zara and when she will be landing?" Cason asked standing next to me.

"No. We have checked all arrivals into New York and she doesn't fit any of the descriptions of any of the passengers," Josh said.

"What about private planes?"

"We are still going through the manifests but we should have more information soon."

"We can't afford to let her skip through our fingers."

"I understand."

"So what do we do now?" I asked leaning back on the sofa.

"Wait for Zara to get here or wait on Sabrina to make the next move," Cason said taking a seat next to me.

"We have given Zara long enough Cason. She has been fucking with my life for way too long and it needs to stop now."

"We can't just go over there and hold her hostage. We did that and she found a way to get away. What about Eric? What will happen to him if Sabrina loses it or Zara doesn't show up? Who will care for him?"

I looked at Cason. "I want Eric DNA tested."

"What difference will that make Ian?"

"If he is my brother I will support him if not I need to find his real parents."

"Why do you think he's not your brother?"

"This feeling I have. I don't trust shit that comes out of Zara's mouth. I think she's manipulating me. She thinks she has the upper hand but she has no idea who she is fucking with. She probably thinks I won't kill her because Eric is hers but she will have to think again."

"What do you want us to do?"

"Stay here."

"Where are you going Ian?"

"I can't sit here. My life is in fucking limbo right now. My father and Zara think they are winning this game but I am about to show them that they are about to lose," I said getting up.

My phone rang and I looked at the incoming call. "Speak."

"Everything's ready as requested," the voice on the other line said.

"Three days max," I said.

"No problem see you then," he said hanging up. I slide my phone in my pocket and started walking to the door.

"Need assistance?"

"Nah, just be ready when I come back." I opened up the door and saw a janitor coming my way.

"Maybe you can help me," I said walking up to the mid age gentleman.

"Yes sir can I help you?"

"There is a leak in 562 that my girlfriend has been complaining about all morning, could you have someone look at it? I totally forgot my key in the room."

"Sure let me get my key card and I can have that fixed up right away."

"Thank you. She's sleep so I don't want to wake her," I said with a smile.

"I understand."

He slipped the card in his pocket and I quickly switched it with my own key card. We walked in the room and it was dark.

"On second thought the lights are out so she may be getting dressed. Maybe you can come back later," I said pulling out a crisp one-hundred dollar bill and handed it to him. His eyes lit up as he took the money.

"I'm Oscar you can just ask for me."

"Thank you Oscar I sure will. Thanks so much for your time," I said closing the door behind him.

I walked in the room looking around trying to see what Ms. Sabrina had been up to. I found her purse on the counter and looked through it. She had articles of newspaper clippings and printouts of potential properties. I put everything in the purse and in the pocket was her cell phone. Bingo! I quickly walked out the door and headed back to my room.

"Are you crazy?" Cason asked as I walked through the door. "We saw everything."

"Find out what you can from the cell phone and other miscellaneous items in that purse?" I said to Jason.

"On it," he replied walking off headed to the wall full of computers.

"Now what superman?" Cason asked sarcastically.

"Going to wake up Sabrina."

"So she can scream and wake the whole hotel!"

"I need the muscle relaxer."

"Why can't we just wait for Zara to make her move?"

"She's taking too long. If she is plane hopping it could be another day or two and my patiences are becoming thin. This has been going on too long and she thinks she has the upper hand, but she has no idea of the real me."

"What about Eric?"

"Sam," I called out. He came walking up next to me.

"Sam will keep Eric busy while I get what I need from Sabrina."

"Why do I have a feeling this won't end well," Cason asked.

"Actually it's up to her whether or not this ends well. I'm a good guy once you get to know me," I said winking and Cason chuckled.

"At least take this," he said holding out a glock.

"'I'm cool. I think my worldly charms will be good enough. Besides who needs a gun when I have Sam." I looked up and Sam had a sly smile on his face. We walked out the hotel room and entered Sabrina's room.

"Master suite to the left she should be in there," Sam said nodding. I headed to the left and him to the right. I turned the corner and sure enough Sabrina was sleeping. The light from the moon cascaded through the room leaving a blue residue shimming as the only light in the room.

I walked in further and her arms were at her side. I took the cotton ball and rubbed it across her arm and quickly used the needle. She moaned and quickly opened her eyes.

"If you scream I will give you more and it will creep up your body until you can no longer move or," I said taking out my pocket knife waving it in her face,"I can cut your tongue out. Your choice."

She just stared at me. I saw her trying to move her limbs but the more she tried the stiffer they became.

"How did you find me?"

"Sabrina you fell to realize that although you really don't know me I have connections everywhere. Just because you use a disguise don't mean I can't find you."

"What do you want?"

"The truth Sabrina. You tell me the truth and I will let you go. Just answer my questions and when I am done you are free to go."

"What did you give me?"

"A muscle relaxer. I wanted your mind to be free and your body relaxed. See I didn't come to kill you, I just wanted to talk."

"So sustaining me is the way to go?"

"Well the other option you wouldn't recover from. Look the quicker you answer my questions the sooner I will leave. I have other things to do."

"Where is Eric?"

"Tucked in nice and tight in his room. Speaking of Eric is he really Zara and my father's child?"

She turned her head, but I quickly turned it back.

"We can do this the hard way or the easy way. You answer my questions truthfully and you and Eric can go free. It's just that simple."

"Nothing is simple with you."

"You don't know me that well yet," I chuckled pulling up a chair. I pushed the button on the lamp causing more light in the room. She turned her head once the light filtered the room.

"I know about your condition. It has to be hard living with multiple personalities and then having a sister who was always put on a pedestal."

She narrowed her eyes.

"Did Zara tell you that we were engaged? Awe man the first time I saw her I thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world. She was classy, smart and absolutely gorgeous. I wasn't looking for love but Cupid had hit his mark. Even after we dated and even after I proposed to her she never mentioned she had a beautiful sister like you. I wonder why Sabrina? Why wouldn't she tell the man she was going to spend the rest of her life with that she had a sister? Zara said she had no family."

Sabrina just stared at me.

"Are you the family secret? Did she keep you at bay because she was ashamed of you? Were you not perfect like her so she hid you."

"She loves me."

"Really that's interesting because when she and I were together she said I was the only family she had and that she loved me more than anyone else in the world. If that was true then she really didn't love you. I'm sorry."

"You're lying."

"Am I Sabrina? I think you know deep down that it's true. Zara claims to love you because she needs you. Just like she needed me. I gave Zara everything she asked for and would have given her the world on the platter but I wasn't good enough. Instead of calling off our engagement, she faked her death. When I tell you I never felt so much pain and hurt in all my life that I thought my life had ended. I had never loved someone so deeply and to have her taken away was the worst day of my life," I said wiping away a fake tear.

"Have you ever loved someone so deeply and they didn't love you back?"

She shook her head yes.

"That's how I felt. I had so many plans already made, but they were all destroyed when they told me she was dead. I wanted children with her and then to find out years later that she's alive nearly had me jumping for joy. Then to find out I have a son, a child I always wanted was a miracle. Did you know that Eric is my son? She kept this secret from me but I don't care, just to know I have a son I'm just ecstatic."

"He's not your child. You are not the father."

"Zara was only with me so Eric has to be mine. He looks just like me except for his skin complexion. Come on Sabrina you can't deny that."

"He is not yours," she said with almost anger dripping behind her words.

"If he's not mine then who does he belong too? He looks like Zara just a little don't you think? Could he be my father's child?" I was waiting patiently for her to respond.

"He's not Zara's child or your fathers."

"Zara was pregnant when she died."

"That baby died and the doctor said she couldn't have anymore so she stalked this girl."

"What girl?"

"You're so stupid to be so damn cute."

"What are you talking about?"

"Zara had access to everything your father owned including personal documents. Your father had a daughter, Linda. She was from the islands or something?"

My mind was in chaos. I had a sister that I didn't even know about. What kind of crazy shit was going on?

She laughed. "You didn't know did you?" She laughed again.

"Linda was pregnant around the same time she was and it just so happened that Linda's boyfriend was white. It was perfect. Did you know that Zara was studying to be a nurse before she started to work for your father?"

I looked at her in dismay.

"Zara befriended Linda and a week before she was due she kidnapped Linda."

"What happened to Linda?"

Her eyes bulged and she laughed. "What do you think happened? Two weeks later Zara is holding a two week old baby boy. She paid some lawyer to hook up the papers including DNA saying Collis was the father. When my sister wants something she knows how to get it," she said laughing again.

I felt sick to my stomach. Not only was Zara sick in the head but her sister was too.

"She told Collis that Eric was his son and he believed it. He said that you and no else could know about Eric. To be honest I didn't know that Eric wasn't hers until I took him to the doctor to get blood work done and that was a year ago but I didn't care. After Collis didn't want you to find out Zara gave Eric to me. She knew I would take very good care of him."

"Where is Linda?"

"You would have to ask Zara that."

"Aren't you jealous of Zara? She can lie, cheat and kill and still she has it all. She's living in mansions, traveling the world and living the life while you are stuck here playing mom to a child that's not even yours."

"I have a man. His name is Darren her ex and I have had a taste of Mr. Collis too. Are you well endowed like your father?" She asked looking down my body and licking her lips.

"Sorry already taken."

"Too bad."

"So Eric is not your child, my fathers or Zara so who is suppose to support him when my father and Zara disappears?"

"They aren't going anywhere. You may not find them, but we will be fine."

"That's where you are wrong. I have access to all his financial records including the account set up for Eric which was technically paid to you."

"No you don't. You're lying."

"Account number 244368, does it ring a bell?"

She stared me down. "That's my money."

"It can remain yours if you give me Zara."

"Fuck you."

"You don't have to be so mean. I'm here to help you."

"Liar!"

"What else do you know about Zara and my father?"

"I've told you enough."

"My stomach is not quite full," I said running my knife around her neck. She stared down at the knife not from shock but with anticipation. Was she getting off on my tactics?

"You like when I do that don't you? I bet you are a bad girl," I said whispering in her ear.

"You have no idea," she moaned back.

"I'll make you a deal. You give up everything you have on Zara and I promise you can have what you want."

Her eyes glazed over at me and her breathing seemed more relaxed. "I'll be right back, promise." I got up and walked out the room.

I walked into the bedroom that Eric was sleeping in and saw Sam sitting in the chair across from an empty bed. I know he had heard everything that was said between Sabrina and I.

He stood up. "Cason has him. Are you ready for me?"

"You don't have to do this?" I said looking at him.

"She's the classic case. No big deal, it's been a while and I don't mind helping the cause."

"Only if you're sure."

"It's no big deal mixing a little pleasure with the job. You can stay if you want, it doesn't bother me."

"No, I'm good. I just need her to spill the beans."

"If she doesn't?"

"Then she will be dealt with accordingly."

Sam nodded in agreement. We both walked out the room and entered Sabrina's room. Her eyes lit up with excitement.

"This is Sam. He is exactly what you want. He has everything and more that you could ask for."

She looked him up and down. Sam removed his t-shirt where his muscles bulged. He stared down at her and I could see her eyes becoming darker.

"Do you want him Sabrina? I know for sure he wants you," I said. Sam nodded in agreement. She licked her lips and nodded yes. I looked down at my watch.

"You should be regaining feeling back in your body in a few minutes. I promise Sam will make it worth your while. Do we have an agreement? I give you Sam for info on Zara. If it's not to my liking or you lie to me, Sam will deal with you on another level that you haven't experience before. Do we have a understanding?" I could hear Sam unzipping his pants.

"Yes, y..e...s," she said as I saw her legs rubbing together. Her arms reached out for Sam and he crawled across the bed and I left.

I walked back to the room across the hall to see everyone busy on the computer and Cason on the phone. He hung up and walked over to me.

"We swabbed Eric and Chase is headed to FBI headquarters to run it. Hopefully we will know something soon."

"I have a sister? Wait unless my father and Marcella had a child together how could that be? My mom said he was having an affair with Marcella before he sent her away. She found out about the affair and when she went to see Marcella she died. My mother never mentioned a child."

"Marcella as in Ms. Ames sister?" Cason asked. "I heard Nedra talk about her and how sweet she was but she hated living poor. She worked for your family didn't she?"

"Yeah she did."

"So wouldn't your mother know if she was pregnant or not? It's hard to keep a pregnancy under wraps. Do you think..."

"That maybe my mom or Ms. Ames knew about Linda?"

"Who else would know besides them and your father?"

"Jesus Christ this is so messed up."

"Never a dull moment in your household."

"Any leads?" I asked walking up to one of the computer monitors.

"Nico is working on getting Zara's number from Sabrina's phone. Evidently she is using a scrambler to call her. The real estate listings did lead us to a house in Bhutan, that was just purchased yesterday."

"Who purchased it?"

"A company but probably Zara or Collis. They don't have extradition laws there."

"They think that would stop them from being punished?" I laughed. The guys just looked at me.

"Where's Sam?" Cason asked.

"Getting information for me," I said and Cason stepped back and swallowed hard.

"Has Carmine called?"

"No not since he got Collis."

"If he calls I want to know. When Chase gets the results I want to know. As soon as Zara lands I want her picked up. Call Clarke Harris and have him find out who this Linda is. Have him cross reference with Marcella Ames. Nationality: Dominican." Josh nodded and walked out.

I looked at my watch and looked at Sabrina's phone. It was odd she hadn't called Sabrina since days ago. Where was she and why wasn't she here yet?

"You want me to send someone to Bhutan? Cason asked."

"It wouldn't hurt. Have we heard anything from Mona?"

"Jack said everything is fine on the island. Nothing to worry about."

"Let's make sure it stays that way."

I looked down at my phone and it was Sam.

"She's ready to talk," he said in a whisper. He hung up and I headed out the door.

I slipped the card across the reader and entered. I heard the music playing and it was coming from the bedroom. I heard whispers as I entered the room.

Sam had on boxers and blood was scattered across his chest. There were balled up bloody sheets on the floor and Sabrina's body was still while her hair was fanned across the pillow.

Her eyes looked heavy and her face looked pale. I looked from Sam to her back to Sam where a grin crossed his face.

"Lovey tell Ian what he wants to know and I promise we will do it all again, just like you want it," he said gently caressing her face. She held up her hand to his face and turned to look at me.

"Did Zara buy a house in Bhutan?"

She nodded yes.

"Is she still coming here to meet you?"

"No. She found out about me and Darren," she said in a whisper. "She called yesterday upset. She wants me to bring Eric to her in Bhutan."

"Good girl," Sam said cooing her. She took his finger in her mouth and sucked it.

I turned my head for a moment.

"Is she there now?"

"She arrived yesterday morning. Eric and I were suppose to leave in the morning."

"Do you still want to go Sabrina?" I asked looking at her and then Sam. She looked up at Sam.

"No. I want to stay here with Sam."

"You guys head out, I will take care of her," he said looking back at me.

I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"I have this under control," Sam said pulling her closer to him. She wrapped her arms around him. I didn't know what transpired and I was scared to ask. I got up to leave.

"She knows you're here in New York. She would never walk into a trap like this. You have a mole in your camp. Why do you think she is always one step ahead of you?"

"Then why are you giving her up now?"

"Because my sister thought she was always better than me. I get to die because I want to while she
