Oh no!!! She can't leave! But, I'll admit, I'd forgotten about the Stefano conenction (nice tie in kpatch!) and Chloe is right. If something happened to Kate, Stefano is gonna be maaaaaaaaaaad!!!!!!!

[sportsgirl]

Of course Chloe is furious right now, she not only wanted happiness, she wanted peace and Philip blew that peace to shreds...But I do think she will calm down & think this through and come back.. She & Philip will work this out and come up with a great plan and also await the word from Joe.

I wish Joe would hurry up & call already!!! I have so little patience!!!

I understand Chloe being so angry and scared. She's already lived through Victor and Kate having her house burnt down and believing both Philip and Wesley were dead. She's probably horrified at the thought of what Kate, Victor and Vivian will do to them now... if they are still alive. Hopefully Chloe just needs a little time to cool off.

Whoa! This is an awesome story!

I really like your version of Chloe and Philip, jkjpatch! I hope they stay together!


Great story, jkjpatch! Of your Philip/Chloe stories, I think this one is my favorite!

THAT AFTERNOON

Philip is holding Wesley when he knocks on the front door of a suburban Salem home. The door opens.
Hope: Philip! This is a surprise.
Philip: Can we come in?
Hope: Sure.
Philip walks inside and Hope closes the door.
Philip: Is Bo here?
Hope: Just a sec. [She calls up the stairs.] Bo. Bo, we have company.
Bo [from upstairs]: Coming.
Hope: He’ll be down in a minute. You look upset. Is something wrong?
Bo comes downstairs and greets Philip.
Bo: Hey man. What’s going on?
Philip: I need your help. I need your protection.
Bo: Okay, what did you do this time.
Philip: It’s bad.
Bo: Real bad?
Philip: Oh yeah.
Philip relates the story to Bo and Hope.
Philip: …And this morning, my contact tried to fly into Belize to get information, but he got turned away. The airport is closed because of widespread flooding.
Bo: Now I know why I haven’t seen Victor for a while. Part of me was worried, but …
Hope: Part of you didn’t care.
Bo: Well it’s not like we’ve ever been super close or anything. I wish you’d have come to me sooner, Philip.
Philip: It was complicated. Bo, will you help us?
Bo: I should throw you in jail and let you rot there, just for being stupid.
Philip: Stupid? The world should thank me. I took 4 misfits out of society and made Salem a safer place.
Bo: That’s not your call. That’s up to the legal system.
Philip: The legal system? Are you kidding me?heck the legal system.
Bo: Watch your mouth.
Hope: Can we please be civil?
Philip: I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I guess I had a plan for the war, but I didn’t have an exit strategy.
Hope: Where’s Chloe?
Philip: That’s just it. I don’t know. I don’t know, and I’m worried sick about her. I feel like I’m losing my mind.
Bo: Is she missing? Do you think …
Philip: No, no, I don’t think so. She was furious when I told her what happened. Furious doesn’t even begin to describe it. She left without even taking her cell phone.
Hope: You mean she didn’t know what you did to Victor and Kate?
Philip: Until today, she didn’t know anything. I wanted to keep her out of it. I figured she’d be safer not knowing. After I told her the whole story today, she was so damn angry. And so scared.
Hope: Why did you let her out of your sight?
Philip: Let her? We’re talking about Chloe Lane here. There’s no talking to her once her mind is made up. The truth is … you’re right. I did “let” her leave. This may sound crazy, Hope, but I thought she’d actually be safer if she wasn’t with me. I mean the reason Wes got kidnapped and I got brainwashed in the first place was because of my parents’ misplaced hatred for Chloe. And now I'm probably the target. So if we weren’t together …
Hope: You figured she would be less of a target.
Philip: That's right.
Bo: Hope is good at finishing people's sentences. You should hear her at the station.
Philip: Damn. I thought I had everything under control and now it’s completely out of control. Being together is dangerous, and ...
Hope: Being apart is dangerous.
Bo places his hand on Philip’s shoulder.
Bo: Hey man, you’ve got to keep it together.
Philip: I don’t know if I can. I mean … everything I did, I did to protect my wife and my son. And now look what happened.
Hope: Quite the twist of fate.
Bo: Listen man. I understand what you’re going through. And if I’m to be truthful … I’d have done the same thing. Whatever it takes to protect my family.
Philip: I hate being scared of my parents.
Hope: It’s not like they’re Ozzie and Harriet. You of all people know what they’re capable of. Vivian too. They’re dangerous and they’re unpredictable.
Philip: You left out “certifiable.” Bo, I swear I don’t care what happens to me. I really don’t.  But I’m scared to death for Chloe and Wes. I need you to find Chloe and make sure she stays safe. Can you do that for me?
Bo: Consider it done. Right now, we’ve got to get you into a safe house. I’ll arrange it. In the meantime, I want you to stay out of sight.
Hope:  Bo … where’s he going to go? A man carrying a toddler around? If anyone is looking for him, he’s going to match the description perfectly. Philip, I suggest you stay here, just until we get a safe house arranged for you.
Bo: As usual, you’re right Fancy Face.
Philip: I don’t want to put you in any danger.
Hope: I’m not worried about us. We have immunity … and her name is Ciara. Victor would never do anything to hurt her.
Philip: I don’t think they’d hurt Wes either. But I do know they would kidnap him. And I’ll die before I let that happen again.
Hope: We know what it’s like to have a child kidnapped. There’s nothing worse.
Bo: We’re gonna help you keep your family together.
Philip: Thanks guys. I can never repay you for everything you’re doing.
Bo: You’re family. You’d do the same if the shoe were on the other foot.
Philip: Damn straight.
 

To be continued …

[MrsM]

Wow. I am glad Bo and Hope are going to help.

[DancingDays]

I often forget just how many half-siblings Philip actually has. Bo, Billie, (eeeew, his brother and sister had a child together, eeewwwww), Austin, Lucas. Did I miss anyone?

Great line though about Hope finishing other people's sentences. That is so like her!

[MrsM]

Ew. Never thought of that. Now my head is spinning....

[Kpatch]

Rex and Cassie also qualify as half siblings. Isabella too.
