My Shadow

A Sick Man

Louis
I am sitting behind bars and waiting on a public defender. I lost everything and everyone is turning their backs on me. Conrad and Dennis Brown have been given a deal if they testify against me. Without their testimony they would not have a strong case. The drugs they gave me to introduce into the wine of my daughter and Timothy increased their sex drives and they would not recall anything after they passed out. Something they created in their lab. So I am screwed big time. Add to it I embezzled funds from Emily's trust fund to pay for these men's services. I am looking at thirty years on each victim. Then add the blackmail and I was planning on kidnapping my own grandson to collect ransom. The Brown brothers told the police about that plan as well. I just couldn't locate them until they called for a meeting with the Cross family. I wasn't aware that Emily had somehow gotten the baby to the Cross family, even with the Brown brothers watching for them. I don't know how she did it, but she did it. I was facing charges for drugging Gideon Cross as well, it was my own wife and daughter who gave me up. The driver even said something wasn't quite right about his boss's condition when he put him to bed.

Emily
Mom and I were offered immunity to prosecution for our complete testimony. It was a nightmare, but at the end of it I get to see my son. It was hard to have to hide from my father all that time. We had close encounters and luckily mom planned for any contingency. Mom was running the company all along dad was just a figurehead. Not a nice one. She limited his abilities, but had no idea he would go as far as he did. She left him after she found out what he had done. She couldn't get concrete evidence against him and after she found out about the pregnancy she figured out how to get the Cross family involved. I hated her idea, but it made sense because he would be much safer with the Cross family and they would investigate and had a lot more resources to get to the bottom of everything and we could get what evidence we could before then. After firing dad and divorcing him leaving him with nothing. She had audits done on all accounts including my trust fund. Mom was not happy about his subterfuge and told him that. They picked him up at a cheap hotel and found him with the Brown brothers planning to kidnap  Christopher and leave a ransom note. They couldn't get them to pay the blackmail money.

Conrad
I can't believe we are back in jail yet again because of Louis and we have a public defender. We were offered a deal by the DA for our testimony against Louis. We grabbed it. Three years with three years probation, no parole. We found evidence to reopen Daniel's case. We were hoping we would.

Dennis
I hate Louis and I know Daniel our brother is waiting to settle scores with him when he gets to the prison he is in. My brother was left holding the bag and Louis let him go to jail because he didn't want to serve a life sentence. He walked away unscathed. This time we made sure there was evidence against Louis. We also found evidence to re open our brothers case and get him out if jail and put Louis in for life for the crimes that put my brother in prison for life.

Louis
They added charges that would put me in prison for life. They overturned the verdict against Daniel Brown and he was released after two months. I am in solitary confinement at this point. There are some people who want to show me their thoughts on how I treated my daughter and ones who want to tear me apart.

Andrew Brown
I'm not even going to let this guy get a moment of peace after him dragging my sons into his messes. Especially Daniel. I keep in great shape unlike him. He has no idea who I am and I have a lot of friends who are waiting to get their hands on him and are willing to teach him a lesson. He definitely has made sure to cover his tracks using others to do his dirty work.

Christopher
I am not going to prevent Emily from seeing her son because I saw that she was sincere about protecting her son from her father even though she couldn't protect her or my son falling prey to his evil plans. Belinda tried to stop him but he was very good at covering things up. Timothy is happy that Little Christopher is doing very well and he has his mommy back. She took great care of the baby according to our family doctor. He said that she took great care before and after he was born and had him circumcised. So she took great care of him. Luckily the drug didn't effect him.

Ellen
Emily has been visiting the baby as much as is allowed. Belinda joins her and they are still scared to take him out in public because of the possibility of kidnapping. That we understand so we have security guards with them at all times. Gideon hired people to protect Emily and Belinda. We got great news from Gideon and Mia. They are pregnant finally.

Gideon
Mom and dad were thrilled about our news about Mia being pregnant. We are going to be joining them for Thanksgiving and we have plans to be with her family on Christmas Day and then New Years. Next year it will be the other way around. The baby will be born around Christmas Day. So we need to fly back just after Thanksgiving Day. It will be nice to have some time before the baby is born to get things ready in both places.

Mia
We had to negotiate the holidays and I wanted the baby born in Seattle. So Gideon said we could do that, but the next baby will be born in New York. I agreed.
