“Oh good because I didn’t want to make you feel bad because you don’t have a boyfriend…”

SALEM PD

Arianna sits in the interrogation room at the police station. She has her hands together and her legs are shaking. Suddenly, Rafe enters the room. She jumps out of the chair and into his arms. They hug for a few seconds then let go.

Arianna:
“Thank you so much for showing up”

Rafe:
“Of course, what happened?”

Arianna:
“EJ was attacked last night after he dropped me off at the Pub. Some woman hit him over the head with the fire extinguisher in the hallway.”

Rafe:
“Did you get a good look at her?”

Arianna:
“Not really, but she was wearing all black and had dark hair.”

Rafe:
“And let me guess, they think you did it?”

Arianna:
“In not so many words yes. I think they do. They won’t let me leave and keep questioning me.”

Rafe:
“What did EJ have to say about this?”

Arianna:
“He’s still unconscious.”

Rafe:
“Great.”

“This doesn’t look good”

JAVA CAFE

Gabi and Chad are having coffee when Will and Henry walk in. They walk over to Gabi and Chad and sit at their table.

Will:
“Hey guys. Henry this is Gabi.”

Henry puts his hand out for Gabi to shake, but she stands up and him over the head. Then sits back down. Henry touches his head.

Henry:
“Ouch. Is that how you say hello?”

Gabi:
“Yeah. Saying hello to someone that almost got my friends killed.”

Will:
“Henry just helped us try and find out what Chad’s mom’s connection to the DiMera’s could be hiding. It’s not like he’s the one that hit us over the head.”

Henry:
“You guys haven’t figured out who did that?”

Chad:
“No, but you are going to help us.”

Henry:
“How?”

Chad:
“By staying away from us.”

Chad gets up from the table and Gabi chases after him.

Gabi:
“Chad wait!”

They leave the store as Mia walks in. She sees Will and Henry together, but they don’t see her. She walks to a nearby table. She sits down. She takes out her laptop and opens it up. She starts typing on it.

Chloe walks in and goes to the counter for some tea and a muffin. Mia looks up. Philip walks in soon after and goes up to the counter behind Chloe and orders a coffee. They go and sit at a table closest to the door.

Philip:
“So how are you this morning?”

Chloe:
“A little nauseous, but I’m dealing. With that anyways. I’m nervous about Nathan. I think he’s getting too close to the truth.”

Philip:
“Yeah especially after that message that I left you yesterday. That was so stupid of me.”

Chloe:
“You didn’t know that I lost my phone and that Nathan of all people had it. It was my fault for losing it.”

Philip:
“No it’s not. It’s my fault for leaving it. Daniel could of heard it.”

Chloe:
“Let’s stop placing the blame and come up with a plan to get Nathan off our backs.”

Philip:
“Yeah what can we do without throwing an more suspicion our way?”

Chloe:
“I think I have it. Let’s just tell him that I confided in you about my affair.”

Philip:
“Yeah that could work.”

Chloe:
“Then that way he stays away from Melanie.”

Philip:
“Yeah he better.”

Philip and Chloe nod their heads at one another.”

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

Nathan comes off the elevator and walks up to the nurse’s station where Melanie is standing organizing some files.


Nathan:
“Hey Mel”

Melanie:
“Hey Nate”

They smile at one another.

Melanie:
“Stephanie’s not going to pop out any moment is she?”

Nathan:
“No she’s off today.”

Melanie:
“Lucky her and you.”

Nathan:
“Why me?”

Melanie:
“Because we can actually have a conversation without her hanging all over you”

Nathan:
“Stephanie doesn’t hang all over me.”

Melanie:
“Yes she does. She’s possessive.”

Nathan:
“Can we talk about something else?”

Melanie:
“Okay you’re right I’m sorry.”

Nathan:
“You know how you sound? You sound jealous.”

Melanie:
“What?”

Melanie has a short laugh.

SALEM PD

Arianna:
“What now? You have my DNA on the fire extinguisher? It was planted I didn’t touch it.”

Hope:
“No DNA, but you were there.”

Rafe:
“And she called 911 on her victim? Come one Hope Arianna is innocent.”

EJ walks in.

EJ:
“She is innocent, she didn’t attack me.”

Hope:
“How can you be so sure?”

EJ:
“Because Arianna closed her door and I saw her do that. 2 seconds later I was attacked. There’s no way that she could have done it. Not to mention all the time we were together before that she could have taken me out and she didn’t. Plus she just got out of jail. Why would she want to attack me? I helped her get out. And as her lawyer, I want her released immediately.”

There’s a moment of silence then Hope speaks.

Hope:
“Okay Arianna you’re free to go.”

Hope leaves the room.

Arianna:
“Thank you so much EJ.”

Arianna hugs EJ. Rafe gets mad. They let go.

Arianna:
“You’re the best.”

Rafe and EJ stare at one another.

Chad:
“It’s so funny how I was left on the pier while Will was returned safely to his house. There’s only one way that would have happened. Stefano DiMera.”

Gabi:
“You think that Stefano DiMera had you guys attacked? You think he would risk that with Kate?”

Chad:
“Anything to keep that secret. My mom had a past with Stefano and Kate. And I need to know what it is.”

Tad walks up behind Chad and Gabi.

Tad:
“Hey guys.”

Gabi:
“T hey.”

Tad:
“Earth to Chad”

Chad turns around.

Chad:
“Hey T.”

Tad:
“What’s going on inside?”

Chad:
“Nothing. What’s up?”

Tad:
“I’m glad I ran into you. I was wondering if you had the notes for the final? Kinsey kinda destoryed ours.”

Gabi:
“Destroyed? How?”

Tad:
“One word, shredder.”

Gabi:
“Ouch.”

Tad:
“So can I use yours and Will’s?

Chad:
“Sure I have them in my backpack on my flashdrive.”

Tad:
“Awesome.”

Chad searches his backpack, but can’t find it.

Chad:
“Oh man it’s not in here.”

Gabi:
“Maybe you left it at home?”

Chad has a flashback of being at the DiMera mansion and leaving the flashdrive there.

Chad:
“No it has to be at the DiMera mansion. I was there studying with Will. I’ll go over there and get it then email it to you in a bit.”

Tad:
“Awesome thanks man. Later guys.”

Tad takes off.

Gabi:
“Did you really leave it at the DiMera mansion or are you saying that just to go over there to find out information?”

“I really left it there. Which gives me a great excuse to go over there and snoop. Thanks Gabi.”

Will:
“Chad’s just mad about the guy attacking us.”

Henry:
“Yeah I see that.”

Will:
“Maybe there’s a way of tracking this guy down?”

Henry:
“Maybe I can tap into the security system at the bank?”

Will:
“You can do that?”

Henry:
“Watch and learn Horton.”

Henry opens up his laptop and starts typing. Mia worries.

“I know Stefano told me to get rid of you and I did, but I just need to know what was on the tape. So what if I copied it first?”

Kate:
“EJ hey. How are you? I hear you were attacked last night?”

EJ:
“I’m doing well. You care why?”

“Because I am your step mother. Do you need me to call Stefano?”

“That’s why we need to hurry up.”

“Oh really and I’m suppose to believe that?”

Philip:
“Believe it or not, but it’s the truth. And I think that you should leave her alone. The stress isn’t good for the baby.”

"That is not true. I love Rafe and Rafe and I are happy together. The problem with you and EJ is that you kidnapped our daughter Sydney and a whole bunch of other crap.
Nicole looks up at EJ. EJ looks down at her then at Sami.
EJ:
"Well Samantha, we're just having sex. It's not like we're getting married again or making babies. Just sex that's all I swear. Not that I need to explain myself to you who just jumped back into a relationship with Rafe the second he came back to town with no warning."

"I didn't have to give you warning. Why should I?"

"Philip's more than just a friend."
Chloe:
"He was more than just a friend, but that was forever ago."
Daniel:
"No it wasn't that long ago."
Chloe:
"Okay not that long ago, but we don't want each other that way anymore. Philip loves Melanie and I love you. Daniel what is this all coming from?"

"Crap, so where is he now?"
Chloe:
"I don't know. He got a call and left out. He says he wants to argue some more when he gets back."
Philip:
"You didn't ask him who he was talking to?"
Chloe:
"No I was trying to keep myself together so that he didn't suspect anything."
Philip and Chloe are too wrapped up in their conversation that they don't notice Lucas walking up behind Philip.

Daniel:
"Okay shoot."
Melanie:
"Um…how do you get a guy to not be into you?"
Daniel:
"I'm not sure if I get what you mean."
Melanie:
"It's Nathan. He still has feelings for me and I want them to stop because I'm happy with Philip."
Daniel:
"I think you should talk to Nathan and explain that he needs to move on."
Melanie:
"I tried that and he just kissed me and Philip saw and that wasn't really good. Philip forgave me and all after I explained that it was good-bye."

"Okay so what's up with Anna?"
Rafe:
"We know where she is."
Sami:
"That's great. Are you going to question her to find out who hired her?"
Rafe:
"I'm not even sure if I should be telling you this."
Sami:
"Why not?"
Rafe:
"You seemed pretty mad about EJ being with Nicole."
Sami:
"Yeah because she kidnapped our daughter. Why would he want to be with that lying bitch that destroyed his entire life?"
Rafe:
"I wonder that about you."
Sami:
"What's that suppose to mean?"
Rafe:
"It means you do the same with EJ. He's hurt you so much, but you just keep forgiving him and loving him."
Sami:
"What? I don't love EJ I love you."
Rafe:
"You're making it hard for me to see that."
Sami:
"Oh really? You think that if I still loved EJ that I would have moved out of his house just to be with you? Oh that I would take you back into my life into my kids lives with no questions asked about what you were doing and where you were?"
Sami pauses and looks at Rafe who starts to feel bad.
Sami:
"Oh yeah that was me. I did all those things, but yet and still I always get the 3rd degree with you. Well you know what I'm sick of it Rafe."

"Melanie, I'm sorry. I'm just mad that I saw Philip at the apartment with Chloe and then Chloe gave me this lame excuse as to why he was there. It's probably just nothing. I'm sorry."
Melanie:
"It's okay. I know you just want to protect me. That is what great fathers do and I'm happy that you want to, but Philip is the last person you need to protect me from."

Chloe:
"It's not the way you think it is. It was one time and we were drunk. And we thought that Daniel and Melanie were cheating on us."
Philip:
"Yes it was a big mistake and it keeps getting worst."
Lucas:
"Worst how?"
Philip:
"Chloe's pregnant."
Lucas:
"Wow theres a first."
Chloe:
"Wait are you calling my baby a mistake? You know it still can be Daniel's."

DANIEL’S APARTMENT

Daniel:
“Philip. No no!”

Daniel turns around and walks with his hands in his hair.

Chloe:
“Daniel I’m sorry we didn’t plan this it just happened. You can still be the father.”

Daniel turns around fast.

Daniel:
“You think I want you after this? After the ultimate betrayal?”

Chloe:
“Yes Daniel we’re going to be a family. You just need time to thinks this through.”

Daniel:
“Really Chloe? Are you really that stupid? Do you really think I’m just going to forgive you just like that. Right on the spot because you’re pregnant and I might be the father?”

Chloe:
“No of course not you need time for all of this to sink in and then we can be just the way we use to be.”

Chloe puts her hands on Daniel’s arms. He swats them away. Chloe cries some more.

Daniel:
“Things will never be the same Chloe. You’re carrying Philip’s baby.”

Chloe:
“You’re the father I’m so sure of it.”

Daniel:
“No you want me to be, but the truth is there’s a 50/50 chance that I am and I don’t like those odds.”

Chloe:
“Okay well we can get a dna test and prove you are the father.”

Daniel:
“It’s too early for that.”

Chloe:
“Well when the time is right.”

Daniel:
“I don’t care it’s not going to matter Chloe. Either way we’re not going to be a family.”

Chloe:
“But Daniel we’re engaged we’re in love. We just can’t stop it all.”

Daniel:
“You’re absolutely nuts if you think I want you after Philip. Maybe if it was some random guy yeah maybe just maybe. It would be a little easier to take because that man didn’t mean anything to you, but with Philip you two have history. Not to mention he’s a complete ass. He’s destroyed my life my daughter. Oh my gosh he’s cheated on Melanie, my daughter that bastard promised to love and honor my daughter and he betrayed her. ”

Chloe:
“Philip is so sorry for it all.”

Daniel:
“I don’t care how Philip feels. I had the chance to kill him and I’m going to finish it.”

Daniel walks towards the door. Chloe pulls his arm. He stares at her.

I haven't read Chapter 21 yet, but I just loved Chapter 20, except for Philip getting beaten up. It's so fun how everyone is getting so close to learning about the affair. I'm surprised that they admitted it to Lucas. And I love how drawn they are to each other. This is how it should have played out on air. Thanks for the story Dannie!

Great chapters. I loved Daniel walking in on Chloe and Philip not to mention all of the drama with Sami's shooting.
