Episode 8.06
Hallow Hills—The Pool House “Mom?” Del walked into the kitchen and checked the clock, “Where’s Dad?” Abby turned as she looked at her cell phone, no missed calls, no voicemails, no text messages, “I’m not sure. But I bet he’ll be home soon.” Del looked at the clock above the oven, “Its almost dinner time.” “I know kiddo, but I’m sure you’re father will be home soon.” She put her phone down on the counter, “Have you gotten your homework done?” “Most of it, I tried to call Michelle about something for Science but she didn’t answer. I guess I will try and IM her later.” Abby nodded, “How about you go watch some television while I finish getting dinner ready. Before you know it your Dad will be home.” “Okay, sounds good.” Del went over to the living room and turned on the television. As he began flipping through the channels he stopped on the Denver 2 in time to find an episode of Two and A Half Men, not that he really understood most of it but it was all that was really on. Except that it
wasn’t on, instead the news was still on showing a press conference,
“Hey Mom! Chief Becker’s on TV!” “What is it?” Del hadn’t been paying attention to the information enough to process it. “They found someone whose been missing for a very long time.” The screen cut to pictures of Siobhan Lane and of Michelle. “Why is Michelle’s picture on the screen with that woman?” “Del, do me a favor and try and figure out your science homework okay?” Del shook his head, “No way am I doing that. I want to know why my best friends picture is on TV.” The front door opened as Chad came in and immediately he knew he was too late, they had seen the news. All he could do now was explain. “I take it you found out.” “Found out what?” Del was still confused and the way his parents were acting now, was not making any of this better. “Is what they’re saying on the news true?” Abby clutched her hands together. Chad nodded, “Well as long as the DNA test comes back positive.” Abby started waving her hands in front of her as if trying to create a breeze so she would remember to breathe, “All this time, she was here. She spent time in our home and we didn’t know? How did they find her after all this time?” “The Lady Agatha Locket, she had it. Lysa gave it to her when we got married, and she still had it. She brought it to school for their project the other day and the second Lysa saw it, she knew.” “Mom! Dad!” Del got between his parents, “Will one of you please explain to me what is happening?” Chad looked at his son who was suddenly so scared, “They found Fallon. They found your sister.”
Memorial Hospital—Press Room Reese Lucas couldn’t believe the story that he and Dee Wentworth were hearing. He knew this had to be hard for her, since she was the woman who had tried to win Elijah’s heart while Siobhan had appeared to vanish into thin air. Dee was pale as she took notes, “Siobhan Lane has been alive all this time and been held captive by Derek Manning.” Reese looked down at her, “Kinda crazy huh? Plus he had Fallon Davis this whole time.” “And the key to this whole thing was a locket?” “A magical locket.” Reese gave her his killer smile. “You’ve got to admit this is a bit weird, Derek Manning kidnaps Fallon and lets her be friends with Del.” Dee sighed, “The Derek Manning thing, I believe goes way back. I think it could be tied in with all the Sean McKay and Brighton Simpson stuff as well.” “This story is going to be national news Dee.” Reese looked around the later it got in the evening the more national press showed up and you could see less and less local faces. “We have to keep this as our story.” “Only you would think about getting scooped on this.” “Yes well, we have an in that the others don’t.” Dee tilted her head to the side, “I don’t even want to think about going there.” “Oh come on, he’s your ex and she’s the reason he’s your ex. Might as well get the story that you can.” Reese encouraged. “We’ve been working for the same paper for years now, and yet you still don’t know that I’m not some sketchy reporter like you.” She started walking away and pushed through the national news crews just as Becker came back in with an update. “Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press, at this time we have no new information that I can give you. However we are hopeful that at the time of our next update we can confirm for all of you that we found not only Siobhan Lane, but Fallon Davis as well.” Flashes and voices filled the room, Reese hung towards the back. National would care for another day or two after that this story would be his and all his.
594 Palmer Street Lysa was glued to the television, waiting for an update. Waiting to find out for sure that Michelle was Fallon and that she hadn’t just set up a young girl to be torn from her father. She was so engrossed she didn’t hear the front door open, or Sam calling out for her. “Lysistrata?” Sam stood in front of her waving his hand in front of her face, “What are you watching?” Lysa looked up, “When did you get home?” “Just now.” He sat next to her, “What is this?” “Derek Manning had Siobhan Lane all this time. She was drugged up to the point where she wasn’t even sure she knew what was going on.” She clutched a pillow to her. Sam rubbed his forehead, “That’s intense. What else is going on?” “Fallon, they found Fallon.” “You’re sister?” Lysa nodded, “Yeah, she was right under our noses the whole time. We never would’ve found her if it hadn’t been for the locket.” “What locket?” Lysa turned to her fiancé, “The one she brought to class the other day, the one I gave her the day Chad and Abby got married. The one my mother spent most of her life trying to find.” “Did you go to the police about this?” Sam took her hand. Lysa nodded, “Yes, I did. I knew I had to do something the moment I saw the locket, the moment I opened it and saw the pictures that I put inside of it.”
Memorial Hospital—Carsyn’s Office Kevin felt his knee bounce over and over again as he waited for Shamus. This was not anything he’d ever expect to hear. And in a few moment he’d be face to face with his older sister once again. He couldn’t imagine what she’d been through, what she would even remember. Everything he’d been told so far made it sound like Siobhan had been so drugged up, it was amazing she was even alive. “Kevin?” Becker popped his head in the door and Kevin quickly turned. “Can I see her now?” “Yeah, come with me.” Kevin stood up and took a deep breath for a moment, “Is she conscious?” “She’s better then when we found her.” “How did you find her?” Kevin didn’t understand how she was connected to Manning. Becker stopped, “We got a tip concerning the kidnapping of Fallon Davis, it led us to the Manning house. I opened Derek’s bedroom door and laying in the bed, very unconscious was your sister.” Kevin paused, his stomach in knots. “These drugs she’s been on. How harmful are they to her?” “Carsyn thinks its just a sedative. And that she’s going to have to have a major detox and get it all out of her system before anything can be deemed okay.” “My parents are not going to believe this.” Kevin shook his head as Becker opened the door and saw Siobhan laying on the hospital bed. She was groggy still from the medications she’d been on. But alert enough to recognize that someone was coming in the room. “Michelle?” Kevin looked at Becker who motioned for him not to question it right now. “Siobhan? It’s me, its Kevin.” “Kevin’s in Nashville.” He smiled at the simplicity of her statement, “No, I’m right here. I’ve been waiting for you to come back all these years. I even gave up my job at JCN Records to be here in Pinon Hallow.” “You can’t be my brother then. He would never give that up.” Becker tried not to laugh, “Siobhan, hon its Kevin. I promise. Just relax, let the rest of this sedative wear off. When you’re ready, we can figure out what happened.”
Hallow Hills “Mrs. Davis!” Essie
the maid called out as she raced down the stairs just as the front
door opened. “It’s all over the news Mrs. Davis, they found her. They found your granddaughter.” “Fallon?” Adel spun around, stunned. “That’s what Chief Becker just announced in a press conference.” “Very well then, if you need me I’ll be at the pool house.” Adel grabbed her jacket and was out the front door before anyone could have stopped her. In the darkness a lighter broke through the darkness of the evening sky and lit a cigar as someone watched Adel in panic mode, rushing toward her oldest son.
225 Shavano Court Dan rolled over and put his arms around Cassie, drawing her body closer to his as he breathed in the fainted scent of her shampoo. Cassie covered his hand with hers and brought it towards her lips, kissing his thumb. “We can’t hide in here forever.” “Just for the rest of tonight.” He pulled her closer, afraid he would loose her if he didn’t. She rolled over just enough to look at him, “I have to be honest with Patrick. I think he’s been holding out for me.” Dan brushed her blond locks from her eyes, “And I will break the news to Andrea. She’s gonna flip, she might want to hurt you.” He smiled, “Then again, if your crushing Patrick’s heart she might be okay with this.” “How so?” Dan kissed her forehead, “Andrea and Patrick are about ready to kill each other. She thinks he’s a cocky bastard, can’t stand him. But she’s stuck working with him.” “Either way, this won’t be my best move.” Dan began to kiss her neck, “We have waited five years Cassie, we can’t put this, put us off anymore. It’s not fair.” “I know.” She could feel the guilt eating away at her stomach, “Patrick was the only person to get me out of the funk after Jeff died on prom night, even though he got scared of what we were becoming—.” “Shh.” Dan put a finger to her lips, “You can’t be with him, just to make him happy. You have to make yourself happy as well. Is being with him going to make you happy?” Cassie shook her head, “I’m happy with you, especially as we get to live out these moments that have been haunting my fantasies for the past five years.” “Then don’t worry. Everything is going to work out fine.” |
