Samantha was sitting in her cell. It had been almost two years now since she had gotten put in jail. In all that time, she had only ever had one cellmate: Jan Spears. But now, that was all about to change. The warden opened the doors to her cell.
WARDEN: You've got a new cellmate.
SAMANTHA: Who?
WARDEN: You.
SAMANTHA: No, I mean who's the cellmate?
A police officer pushed a woman inside.
WOMAN: Get your hands offa me!
The woman turned to look at Samantha. Both looked at each other in shock.
WOMAN: What the hell are you doin' in here?
SAMANTHA: Marnie?

PENTHOUSE
John (who all this time has really been Roman) walks up to Marlena.
ROMAN: My real name isn't John Black.
MARLENA: But, if you're not John Black...and you called me Legs, which is something I haven't been called since...
ROMAN: You got it, Doc.
MARLENA: No, it can't be.
ROMAN: It is. I'm Roman Brady. And that's a fact.

[MrsM]

Holy cow!! Can't wait for the next chapter!!

[Trey]

Interesting beginning.

[sportsgirl]

Wow, I am already so confused! I can't wait to see how you plan this whole thing out...

[MrsM]

^^Right there with ya SG!!

[djm]

Woo Hooo Marnie is back. So Jahn is Roman. Looking forward to reading more. Thanks Andre. So many questions.

[Kpatch]

Like Mrs M said, Holy Cow. Double holy cow.

Marnie is Samantha's nickname for Marlena. But Marlena is in the penthouse with John. I mean Roman.

And Taylor is going to break her father out of jail? Can you please have them die in the prison break?

Great start Andre!

[fluffysmom]

Very interesting start Andre. ROTFL at Kpatch's comment about Paul and Taylor dying during a jailbreak.

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.
