Chicago: Sam's POV
"I should get rid of you" the man says and then he fires his gun. "NO!" I scream and I sit straight up in my bed. Tears come up to my eyes and I start crying. "Sssh it's okay. It was just a dream. It's over now." Will comes up and hugs me tight. "I-I it happened again. The w-wh-whole thing happened again." I cry. "I know, I'm here." Will says and he lays down on my bed next to me. He takes me in his arms and calms me down. "Go back to sleep. You need it. I will be here." "Okay." I say and I fall back asleep.

A few days later
I'm eating breakfast when my phone rings. A text message comes up. "Sam, I've been reading the news. Please call me. I need to know if you're allright!!" My heart stops for a bit. No, no, no, no. This can't be true. He stopped, he shouldn't text me. I pick up my phone and look up Hailey's number. Should I? I press call. "Detective Upton?"  She says. "Hailey? It's Sam." "Heyy, how are you doing." "I need your help. He texted me again and wants me to call him.." "Oh shit, did he say why?" She asks. "He said that he has been reading the news and wants to know if I'm allright. But he can't know what happened to me right?" "It has been all over the news but your name wasn't mentioned anywhere so I don't know. Okay you know what, I will come your way right now. Then we can talk okay?" "Okay, see you soon then." I say and then hang up. My physical therapist comes in. "Ready to do some exercises?" I nod. "Allright then, let's go." He says. He helps me in a wheelchair and we leave the room. When I come back I see Hailey sitting in a chair reading a book. "Hey you, you're looking a lot better." She smiles. "Well thank you very much." I laugh. "So what do you want to do?" I ask her. "Well, I've brought a laptop so I could trace the place where your dad is calling and texting from." She explains. I nod and grab my phone. When I unlock it I see that I received more calls from him. "Sam?" Hailey looks at me. "You good?" I look up. "He called. Three times." I say and give her my phone. "Okay, I see what I can find." Hailey says and she plugs my phone onto the laptop. "Can I see?" I ask her. Hailey nods. I put my wheelchair next to her and look on the screen. "It's Pat." I say. "Okay." Hailey pushes some buttons and then a map comes up to the screen. The map rotates and lands on Saint Louis. "Okay so it seems that the texts and calls are from a smartphone and they come from Saint Louis." Hailey says. "What? That's like 4 hours away or something? Why is he so close?" I say. "I don't know but honestly I think you should tell Jay and Will what's going on." Hailey says. "No no, that's not an option. I can't tell them. I can't." I say quickly. "Sam what are you afraid of? They are your brothers they would want to help you. Talk with you." Hailey says. "No you don't understand. Everything what happened in the past, you don't know half of it. I can't tell my brothers what's going on they would get pissed!" I say. "Why would we get pissed?" Jay says. I look up and see him and Will standing in the door..
