Melanie's POV

"Thank God, you're now here Sam. Does your girlfriend know you're here . . . ?"

"No!!! She doesn't have to . . . !" He answered me quite abrasively.

"Uh oh . . . !" I was caught unawares, I shouldn't have said that, I thought.

"I'm sorry Mel, but really . . . the less involvement my family has got to do here, the best it is for all concerned."

"Right! I understand Sam . . . Gene was specifically clear on that . . . I understand!"

"Yeah! I know. Well, I only told her that Gene's arriving and that, I gotta fetch him from the airport. She understands that . . . and when Gene summon's my presence . . . no rain or, tornado or bullets could deter me. And she's accepted that, Doctor!" He earnestly assured me.

"I'm glad Sam! And, oh . . . please stop calling me that . . . ! You're family . . . you know. No need calling me like . . . you know, like . . . I'm just an ordinary acquaintance, hmm!"

"No worry there! Ohh??? Yeah! No worry . . . about that, too!" Sam said smiling. But I saw that his smile didn't reach his eyes. I could feel that he's anxious, too!

His large eyes went to the big man lurking nearby, then to the other two who've just emerged from the laboratory and the inside sanctuary of the clinic.

"Wonderful!" I answered, trying to lighten up the air. I, for one has been feeling so uneasy since . . .

I could still hear Alexa's cry for help in my head. I just feel so helpless right now, with the clock ticking . . . as it is, without a word yet from whoever has my best friend . . . it is kind of killing me with anxiety!

"Clyde, Peter, Ernesto!" Sam was making a roll call . . . of sorts, nodding his head at them as he sounded off their names!

I couldn't help a giggle, seeing how funny it looked, more or less to me. I forgot for a moment how my whole body is still shivering, to my comfort before Sam's arrival!

"Hey! Careful there Melanie! Your bag's gonna snap any moment! You're choking it to death . . . were it alive!"

"Oh! I'm sorry . . . ! Just can't help it Sam . . . " I told him truthfully, letting go of it and relaxing my hands.

I was tense alright, I was unconsciously twisting the handle, I just realized . . . my poor bag was receiving my thoughtless disregard. The anxiety I had been feeling since my friend got suddenly disconnected was now manifested in the way I was poorly mishandling it!

"It's alright Mel! Help's here. And Gene will be here soon! We really do not know what might happen next after Alexa. So we're here to cover for your brother; we're doing whatever it will take us to protect you meantime, alright?"

I only nodded my head, getting hysterical for my best friend will surely get me nowhere.

Sam's eyes missed nothing, I know. My black brother has really toughtened with the years he'd been with my twin. Gene made him so! And I'm real glad for him! I know I could trust Sam, he's become a great buddy and a brother to me as well!

"Now . . . let's get on to business, or Gene's gonna have my hide! Alright guys . . . "

Sam turned to the men then.
