Chapter 2
SALEM COUNTY JAIL
Paul walked out of the jail cell and stood in front of Taylor. The two hugged.
PAUL: Hey, sweetheart! It's so good to see you!
TAYLOR: It's good to see you too, daddy.
PAUL: So, you're here to bust daddy outta prison, right?
TAYLOR: Yep.
PAUL: Good. That's my girl. I knew I could count on you.
Paul moved slightly closer to Taylor.
TAYLOR: It's been a long time.
PAUL: It sure has.
He moved a hand through his daughter's hair.
PAUL: And may I say that you have grown into an incredibly beautiful woman.
WOMEN'S PRISON
WOMAN: What did you just call me?
SAMANTHA: Marlena, it's me, Sam.
WOMAN: Don't insult me! I look nothing like that blonde bimbo! But, you sure as heck do.
SAMANTHA: But, if you're not my sister...then who are you?
WOMAN: I'm Hattie Adams. Who the hell are you?
SAMANTHA: Samantha Evans, Marlena's twin sister.
HATTIE: Huh. Shoulda figured. You look just like the perfect Dr. Marlena. So what're ya in for?
SAMANTHA: Murder.
HATTIE: Shoulda known! Last time I saw your precious sister, she was on trial for murder. Fruitcakes. You're all fruitcakes.
SAMANTHA: So, moving on, what are you in for, Hattie?
PENTHOUSE
Marlena sat down on the couch next to Roman.
MARLENA: You're Roman?
ROMAN: That's a fact.
MARLENA: But...how? How can you be Roman when Roman is at the police station right now?
ROMAN: It's a long story.
MARLENA: I'd like to hear it.
ROMAN: Well, it all started when I first came to Salem. At that time, I was under the name of John Black, but you identified me as your husband, Roman Brady. I had no memory of my past, but you helped me feel in the blanks. You had supposedly died, but then you came back with who you thought was the real Roman. But, he wasn't. I was.
MARLENA: But, he looked just like the real Roman.
ROMAN: You were right the first time when you saw the pictures of my plastic surgery. I had been abducted by Stefano and made to look completely different. The man you came back with was not the real Roman. Though, he had had surgeries to look exactly how I originally looked.
MARLENA: Well, if he wasn't the real Roman, who was he?
ROMAN: One of your old husbands. Alex North.
