Happy Valley-Tad’s Trials and Tribulations –Part 10

Trick Or Treat
Halloween Night
Pine Valley is in bed sleeping
Tad is tossing and turning beside Dottie as he dreams
Flash to Dottie’s restaurant office Tad is just outside the door when he hears
“I’ll have your licence do you think I can’t? I own this town. Call off your husband or your restaurant will have a visitor who will conveniently find rat droppings.”Mayor Blanco says to Dottie
“You can’t do that.”Dottie says outraged
“Can’t I? I am the Mayor I own this town. And don’t think I can’t condemn a few of Tad Martin’s buildings.”Iris says
“Condemn you would condemn buildings people live in?”demands Dottie
“Why it’s nothing to me.”Iris says
Tad grows angry outside the door as Iris continues
“And those children you two are so proud of? A whisper here, a word there and T.J. loses his job and Kathy gets kicked out of that experimental program she’s in to help hearts repair easier.”Iris says
“How dare you threaten my kids?” Dottie says ”You could have an accident you are God.”
“Aren’t I ?Tsk, tsk, from where I’m seating I can do whatever I want and you will bend to my will.”Iris says “because if you don’t you will face the consequences. And you won’t like what I do to you and your family. So call off Tad Martin.”
“Please don’t do this.”Dottie begs
“I’m not doing anything. You make your decision it’s all up to you.”Iris says viciously
Tad thinks at that moment outside the door that he could kill Iris

Flash to Tad the knife in his hand Mayor Blanco dead on the floor as the police come in.
Tad awakens shaken then we see Iris hovering beside his bed saying
“It’s your fault I’m dead Tad Martin find my killer or I’ll make your life miserable.”
Tad then awakens again for real this time heaves a sigh of relief that Iris was a dream as Dottie says
“Bad dream?’”
“Yes.”Tad replies as Dottie takes him in her arms and they go back to sleep.
Flash to Natalia in the cells. She too is dreaming
“How could you Natalia Fowler you are a police officer. You are protecting a murderer.” Iris says to Natalia
“I had to. What you did to Randi was horrible. She was a child and you condemned her to a life of horror in foster home after foster home. She was assaulted in one did you know that?Even if you had known you wouldn’t care. Now Randi had a stroke and she found out that you who had caused her so much pain you was ruining other lives of course she felt she had to stop you. I won’t let her suffer anymore. I won’t let you harm her. And dad and Angie you harmed them. You deserved to die.”Natalia says
“How can someone who upholds the law say that someone deserves to die? And what if Randi wasn’t the one to kill me did you ask her? If she didn’t kill me you’re protecting a murderer.” Iris says
“I made my bed I will lie in it.”Natalia says
“Lie being the key word.”Iris demands “Find my murderer Natalia .no one deserves to die the way I did.”
Natalia jars awake and shivers
Natalia thinks “What if I’m wrong and Randi didn’t kill Mayor Blanco?”
Flash to Yvonne (Randi’s mother).Yvonne is sleeping
Yvonne is younger and she has a scarf covering her head since she lost it to breast cancer treatment. She looks over at a young Randi playing. A knock is heard at the door. Yvonne answers to Randi’s dad
“I’ve come to take Randi for few days. So you can have some rest. I’ll bring her back in a few days. ”he says as he takes Randi’s hand and takes her out the door
Yvonne’s dream flashes to a couple of days later when she’s trying to find Randi’s father and can’t .
She’s crying and trying to find her daughter. Then she finds him .
“Please tell me where Randi is.” She begs to no avail she takes out a gun and threatened him and he grabs it and it goes off.
Yvonne then flashes to a few days ago when she went to see Iris
“You bitch. You’ve been making my life hell for years .You harmed my daughter sent her away from her home and her mother.”Yvonne yells before Iris interrupts
“Like mother like daughter. The mother is a whore and so is the daughter.” Iris says
“How dare you what has Randi ever done to you?”Yvonne asks
“She was born.”Iris says ”I should have had his child not you but year after year went by and he said he didn’t want a child and then I find out you have his daughter.”
“You were jealous?”Asks Yvonne incredulously
“Jealous of you? No!’Iris says laughing
“Why? Why did he let you give her away?”Yvonne asks
“Stupid woman for the same reason he dropped you. I demanded it. I had all the money not him. His father cut him off. Besides he didn’t know until after the fact and by then I was pregnant. You killed him you bitch and I lost the baby. Grief killed my baby. You killed my baby. Did you think that I wouldn’t make you suffer, you and your spawn?”Iris says ”I made sure she was placed in that home. I knew what that boy was like.”
“You stay away from Randi. I killed someone I loved do you think it would be hard to kill a bitch like you?”Yvonne counters
“You don’t have the guts.”Iris says
“Don’t I? I could gut you like a fish and you’d bleed out quickly.”Yvonne states
“You don’t have the guts.”Iris repeats
“Don’t push me further or you’ll find out.”Yvonne states angrily
“Don’t you threaten me I can snap my fingers and you’ll find yourself back in jail so fast your head will spin .Then who will protect Randi?”Iris sneers
“I’m warning you for the last time Iris back off or you’ll take a dirt nap.”Yvonne says ”Goodbye Iris.”
Yvonne wakes up with a start and thinks happily that Iris is dead and can’t hurt Randi anymore
Flash to Andrew’s mansion. Andrew is dreaming

“Andrew what are you doing here did we have an appointment?”Iris asks
“The anniversary of my son’s death is coming up.”Andrew states sadly
“Is it true that Randi is staying with you?”Asks Iris
“Yes so what is it to you?”Andrew asks
“How could you?” asks Iris “Her mother killed him.”
“Randi is my flesh and blood.”Andrew says quietly
“I had you’re flesh and blood. She killed his father and he died.”Iris says
“You have to quit blaming Randi. This was partly your fault you took that child from her mother.”Andrew states
“Yvonne deserved more than that.”Iris says
“But what did it get you Iris? It got my boy killed.”Andrew says quietly
“Yvonne killed him.” Iris says angrily
“Stop coming after my granddaughter.”Andrew states
“Randi will pay and then Yvonne will suffer.”Iris says
“You have hurt my granddaughter enough .You will leave her alone.”Andrew demands angrily
“Or you’ll do what old man? I can do what I want. They will pay for what they did.”Iris states
“What did Randi do?” asks Andrew
“She was born and she took him away from me.”Iris states
“You’re sick you should get some help Iris.”Andrew says turning away
Iris grabs the letter opener off her desk and comes at Andrew as if to stab him. Andrew tries to pull it out of her hand .She fights back and Andrew says
“You’ll never stop.” then he calmly stabs her in the back as he grabs in a hug like motion
“Why?”she asks
“You can’t be allowed to hurt anyone anymore Iris.”Andrew states as he walk away leaving her to die
Andrew wakes with a start.
“No one knows what I’ve done.” He thinks but then he looks beside and sees Iris
“Why are you here?”Andrew asks
“I have to make up for what I did in life. You can’t let Randi suffer.”Iris says
“Why would she you’re dead you can’t hurt her anymore.”Andrew asks
“Natalia thinks Randi killed me. She’s taken the blame. My evil continues.”Iris states
“No I won’t let that happen.”Andrew says coming fully awake .
Andrew dresses and goes down to the police station entering the station he says
“Trick or treat?” to Brot who’s on duty
“Huh?”asks Brot puzzled
“Okay trick.” Andrew performs a card trick “Now for your treat I’m your man I killed Iris Blanco Natalia Fowler is innocent.” Andrew states

Tad and Dottie’s house
Halloween day


“My lawyer called and said that Natalia Fowler has confessed to killing Mayor Blanco. I don’t know what is going on but I just can’t believe this Dottie. I know I didn’t kill her but neither did Natalia.”Tad says
“Oh no poor Jesse and Angie. They are our best friends we have to find out who really did this Tad.” Dottie says
“I know but what if we find out Natalia is protecting someone close to them.”Tad asks
“It’s the chance we have to take Tad and when we do we can make a decision whether to keep quiet or not.”Dottie says
“You’d go against your principles like that?”Tad asks
“If it was to protect someone vulnerable.” Dottie states
“Why haven’t we heard from Kendall and Zach?”Asks Tad
“Maybe you should give them a call the custody case is Monday.”Dottie states
Tad calls Zach’s phone
“Zach this is Tad have you got anything yet?’Asks Tad
“We should be at your house in about ten minutes, with some help.”Zach states hanging up
“What did Zach say?”asks Dottie
“He was very cryptic.” Tad says puzzled
“I don’t understand.” Dottie says
“That doesn’t makes two of us.”Tad says
“Well maybe that means he has something that will let us keep our son.”Dottie says
“I certainly hope so.”Tad says
The doorbell peals at Tad and Dottie’s house. Dottie opens the door


“Trick or treat says Hillary stepping in the house followed by Kendall and Zach
“Definitely a trick.” Says Dottie rubbing her eyes like Hillary will disappear
“Hello Tad long time no see.” Says Hillary seeing Tad down the hallway
“Hills? Hillary? What are you doing here?”Asks Tad as he comes to the door
Dottie looks pained, annoyed and frightened at Hillary’s appearance.
“I came because you needed me Tad.”Hillary says
“Really and why did my husband need you?”Asks Dottie empathizing that Tad is her husband
“I’m Michael’s aunt.” Hillary says
“And you would take Michael from Tad? I always knew you were a selfish bitch but really Hillary what makes you think this is right?”Asks Dottie angrily looking like she wants to hit Hillary
Tad quickly steps between them
“What’s going on Hillary? I can see the bruises behind that make-up. Who did that to you?”Tad asks
“Someone hit you?”Asks Dottie
“Not that it is any of your business but I was forced into this Dottie.” Hillary states
“She was Dottie. The monster she lives with threatened her and her daughter. She’s risking her life coming here” Kendall says
“I’ve been to see the judge in the custody case and gave her all the information about my husband and his siphoning of my daughter’s and my trust funds.”Hillary states
“He stoled from you?” Dottie asks
“Yes and he beat me daily and kept me prisoner if Kendall and Zach hadn’t gotten me out of there he’d still have me.”Hillary
“Where will you stay now Hillary?” asks Tad worried
“Zach and Kendall have put me in touch with the Miranda center. They said I could stay there with my daughter Chloe for awhile.”Hillary says
“Why don’t you stay with us we have a big house.” Tad says
“I don’t want to be any trouble.”Says Hillary hiding a smile like she hoped he’d offer
“Actually Tad Krystal isn’t living next door anymore. She lives with Adam and you still own that. Why don’t we let Hillary stay there?”Dottie asks thinking Hillary would be better not in their house
“An excellent suggestion you’d be protected. It has an alarm system. And we’re right next door in fact there is a door that goes straight to our house.”Tad says as Dottie frowns
“Thank-you both.” Hillary says as Kendall and Dottie take Hillary next door leaving Tad with Zach
“So you set up surveillance with Kendall? I would have paid to see that.”Tad says laughing
“Kendall pulled her weight. She did a great job.” defends Zach
“And he was beating her?”Asks Tad
“Yes the cretin probably would start on the little one next.”Zach states
“Yes it’s never enough for them and to think he thought he could get Michael. What does this guy look like so I can be prepared.”Tad demands to know
“Hillary’s husband Henry looks just like Anton Lang.”Zach says
“Anton Lang, Kendall ex-husband? How is that possible?”Tad asks
“Dimitri sowed some wild oats when he was younger and Henry was apparently the result.”Zach states
“This Henry sounds nothing like Dimitri.”Tad says “Abusing woman? Do you think he’ll come here after Hillary?”
“Yes .He thinks of her as his possession and his daughter Chloe is also considered his possession.”Zach says
“We are both familiar with this type of man. Our fathers were prime examples. I’ll think about what they would do in this situation and plan accordingly. Thanks for bringing her here Zach.”Tad says
“I hope I don’t regret it. Be careful my friend, ex wives can be a lot of trouble.” Zach says ”And your wife did not look happy to see her.”
“Dottie’s got a big heart. She invited her to stay next door.”Tad says not convinced
“If you love Dottie you better make sure she knows she comes first. That’s all I’m saying tad.”Zach states
“She knows she does.”Tad says
Zach shakes his head. Then as Kendall comes back, he and Kendall leave.
“I know Hillary needed saving from that monster but I’m not so sure we did Tad and favours bringing her here.”Kendall says to Zach
“You saw it too?”asks Zach
“Oh yes Dottie is seething with anger. She doesn’t want Hillary anywhere near her family let alone Tad.”Kendall states
“I tried to warn Tad about that but he didn’t seem to hear me.”Zach says
“Yes sorry dear but most men don’t listen like you.” Kendall says smiling and kissing Zach
“Not everyone is as lucky as we are.”Zach says
“No there not now let us go home to our boys.”Kendall says
“Yes go team Slater.” Zach says ”It’s trick or treat night and my boys want to be hockey players.”
“What else would they be?”Laughs Kendall ” We ll go out take the kids for Halloween and come back to casa Slater.”
“And then do i get Tricks or treats?” asks Zach expectantly
“Maybe you’ll get both.” says Kendal flirting

“What is the matter Natalia you’re shaking.” Jesse asks
“I have something to tell you.”Natalia says
“Just tell me Natalia whatever it is. Tell me.” Jesse pleads
“I did it I killed Iris Blanco!”Natalia says
“Nonsense Natalia why are you saying this? “Jesse demands
“She was threatening your job and interfering with everyone all over town. I killed her it was an accident.”Natalia states woodenly
“I don’t believe you who are you protecting? If it’s me or Angie we didn’t do it.”Jesse says
“I just couldn’t let your friend be blamed for something I did Dad.”Natalia says
“Natalia whoever it is just tell me will find a way to protect them without you taking the fall for them.”Jesse says
“I did it that’s all there is to it now arrest me and put me in a cell or do I have to make Brot do it?”Natalia demands
“You will tell me NATALIA FOWLER.”Jesse yells
“No I did it accept it. I have.”Natalia says
“Very well. But believe me Natalia I’m not going to let this stand my daughter is not going to jail for something she didn’t do.”Jesse states
“Just drop it.”Natalia says
“I’m going to read you your Miranda rights now and for goodness sake don’t say a word until you get a lawyer I’ll call the best Jackson Montgomery for you.”Jesse says and then he reads her rights:
“You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions. Do you understand?” “Anything you do say may be used against you in a court of law. Do you understand?” “You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. Do you understand?” “If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. Do you understand?” “If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney. Do you understand? Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?”
“I understand my rights and I want a lawyer.” Natalia says as Jesse puts her in handcuffs and takes her out of his office and into the cells
Brot comes in to the cell area and demands “What is going on?”
“Natalia has confessed to killing Mayor Blanco.” Jesse states

“What? Take it back Natalia .You know you didn’t do it.”Brot requests
Natalia shakes her head.
“Natalia please for us?” pleads Brot
Natalia shakes her head again and says
“Go!”
“No.”Brot says
“Son you know how stubborn she is find out who really this and come talk to me.”Jesse whispers as
“The case is over Monroe go.”Natalia says
“It won’t be over until I save you.”Brot says
“Let it go.”Natalia say tearing up
“Jackson is on his way.” says Jesse
“Good .I’ll be back.” Brot says leaving
“Dad get Brot to drop it.”Natalia begs
“I can’t.”Jesse says
“Do it please Dad?”Natalia begs
“No. I’ll be back Natalia, when Jack gets here.” Jesse says “In the meantime think this through we can get you out of this there’s nothing on record yet.”

Jesse goes back to his office and picks up his cell phone.
“Angie I need you can you come to my office again?”
“Thank-you. See you soon.”Jesse says as he hangs up and holds his head in his hands.

Mayor Blanco’s house
“The technicians have been here. There’s nothing left for us to find .Why are we here Brot?”
“They may have missed something. We have to find something your Dad is counting us.”Brot says
“Dad knows that we are doing our best.”Natalia says
“Well we have to do better.”Brot says
As Brot and Natalia start searching they hear the front door open and a young woman who is similar to Randi walks in. She hesitates for moment then starts up the stairs
“Stop right there.”Natalia says
“Who are you and what are you doing in my house?”Asks the woman
“I am Natalia Fowler of the Happy Valley police force who are you?”Natalia demands
“I’m Heather Blanco this is my house. Why aren’t you done? You arrested the scum that killed my mother so why are you here?”Heather demands to know
“Madame we have to have all the evidence we can to convict.”Brot says covering “as you notice when you came in the seal is still on. Have you entered the house since the shooting?”Brot asks
“No I just came today because I need something for the funeral. I need clothes for my mother to be buried in and to wear to her funeral.” Heather says
“Natalia will assist you with that.”Brot says
“I can do that by myself.”Heather says indignantly
“Sorry Ms. Blanco We need to contain any evidence for the investigation.”Brot says
“Fine.” Heather says as Natalia follows her up the stairs

Happy Valley Police station
Angie walks in as Jesse is in on the phone.
“Yes Governor we’ve made an arrest. Yes I know you were great friends with Mayor Blanco .No sir I am not covering for the criminal because he is my best friend. No sir that’s why I have taken myself off the investigation. My best cop is in on the investigation. Who? Brot Monroe. Yes he is war hero.” Jesse says “Yes sir .I will have Brot update you. Thank-you sir goodbye.”
“Damn interfering Bureaucrats! Tad’s not guilty but they just want this wrapped up with a tidy red bow.” Jesse says to Angie
“It will be okay Jesse .I know you’ll be able to prove Tad didn’t do this.” Angie says
“If I can’t find some evidence soon Tad is going to go to jail for this and they have the death penalty here. He could get the death penalty.”Jesse says severely worried
“Brot’s working on it and so is Natalia if here is anything to be found they’ll find it.”Angie says
“I hope so for Tad and his families’ sake.”Jesse says
Back at the Blanco mansion
Heather and Natalia come down the stairs. Heather is carrying two dresses.One white dress and one black dress
“We are so sorry for your loss Ms. Blanco.”Brot says
“Thank-you I’ll be going now .I hope you find something and convict the awful man who did this.” Heather says
“We’ll certainly try to convict whoever did this.”Brot says neutrally
“That’s all I can ask.”Heather says leaving
After Heather leaves Natalia turns to Brot and says
“Did you find anything?”
“No but be my guest if you can find anything in the den go ahead.”Brot says ”I’ll wait out here.”
Natalia goes in the den and searches for any clue to the killer. She gets on her hands and knees and sees in under the corner of what she thought was the desk is something shiny. As she reaches in and picks it up with gloves her face shows surprise then horror as she slips the barrette in her pocket without an evidence bag .She flashes to where she saw the barrette last and we see
Randi wearing the barrette
We flashback to Natalia sometime later at the police station as she marches into Jesse’s office
“Dad.”Natalia says
“What is the matter Natalia you’re shaking.” Jesse asks
“I have something to tell you.”Natalia says
“Just tell me Natalia whatever it is. Tell me.” Jesse pleads
“I did it I killed Iris Blanco!”Natalia says

Happy Valley-Tad’s Trials and Tribulations –Part 6
Flashback to Zach and Kendall
“As I said you’ve triggered a memory. I remember where I saw her before. She was in Tad’s or was it Jake’s photo album? Anyway I asked about her and Jake joked that she was the one that got away for Tad. I asked what he meant and he said she had been Tad’s wife. Zach, that is Hillary, Tad’s ex-wife.”Kendall explains
“Oh dear now that is going to really shake things up. “Zach states
“Yes I think the junk is just about to hit the fan.” Kendall says “that man she’s calling Henry .It can’t be but I don’t think he’s name is Henry that’s Anton Lang .My first husband. How could he have become this abusive pig? He was sweet and kind and a doctor. I was young cruel obsessed with myself and my own needs and not the wife for him
“Anton Lang I thought he lived at Vadzel in Budapest Hungary.”Zach asks
“Yes me too I just don’t understand it. He looks like him but he doesn’t sound like him.”Kendall says
“Well there’s one way to find out.”Zach says still watching the man ushering Hillary back into the house
“Broderick. Hello yes it is Zach .Yes it has been awhile. Listen there’s man here at my casinos he says he’s Anton Lang but I know Anton and I don’t think this man is he. He appears to look like him but I’ve also heard people call him Henry, Could you see if Anton is in Hungary there at his home of Vadzel. Yes I believe he’s a doctor at the hospital nearby. Thanks Broderick if you could get back to me as soon as possible I’d appreciate it.”Zach concludes shutting his cell phone.
“This Broderick he can really tell you if this is Anton? It can’t be Anton he would never be so cruel and yet it looks like him how can that be?’Kendall asks
“If anyone can find out Broderick can he owns some casinos in Hungary.” Zach explains
“They’ve gone in the house do you think Hillary is safe?’Asks Kendall
“I hope so .From my observation of my mother and her abuser, if a woman is subservient as Hillary acted they are usually safe unless the abuser is drunk high on drugs or in some rage. He didn’t seem to be that angry.”Zach states
“Not angry? Zach he hit her .She could have a fractured cheek bone he hit her so hard and you say he was that angry?”Kendall says shocked
“Kendall what that so called man did was apprehensible. No real man would hit a woman and physically and mentally abuse her. I don’t think this could be your ex husband because the Anton you described to me was gentle to gentle for you. You needed someone to stand up to you but still be able to shelter you from the world.”Zach says
“Yes and you fit that bill perfectly.”Kendall says kissing him
Zach’s phone rings
“Broderick thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I see uh huh. So he’s there right in front of you.”Zach says
“Hello Anton. My name is Zach Slater. Oh you’ve heard of me? I’m flattered. Yes I am married to Kendall your well informed. Yes Kendall is a handful but she’s my handful. Yes I’ll tell her you and your wife Anna said hello. Why? Why did I ask Broderick to find you? There’s a man here in California he looks very like you.... Uh huh Henry Taylor. He’s your half-brother? Really? Have you met him? Oh okay. Thanks Anton. Yes maybe we will take you up on that sometime. Kendall would love to visit Dimitri at Vadzel with the boys and meet your boys and you wife. Thanks Anton goodbye.”
“So Anton is there? So who is Henry and why does he look like Anton?”Asks Kendall
“Everyone has a double or a doppelgänger the folklore of Germany. It actually means double walker. They believe according to folklore that if one is good the other is evil this must be Anton’s evil double. They also believe if one meets their double though you would die so let’s hope Anton never meets his. Henry is Dimitri’s son. Dimitri had a fling with Henry’s mother Georgia as a student here .She didn’t tell Dimitri but Anton heard rumours of his double here. Looking into it he found out the truth. They reached out to him but he hates them he wouldn’t even see them and he was raised by an abusive step-father and he emulates him.”
“My goodness and Hillary is married to that?”Kendall asks
“Yes it seems she is.”Zach says still watching hoping that Henry will leave so they can check on Hillary.
“He’s leaving.”Kendall says excitedly ”Let’s go talk to Hillary we can help her get away .We can take her to the new Miranda Centre in Happy Valley.”
“Wait a couple more minutes sometimes they circle back just to make sure the woman obeys.”Zach says knowingly
Seconds later Henry comes back into the house.
“You were right Zach. We would have been right there when he came back.”Kendall says
Henry leaves once again. Kendall and Zach patiently wait 10 minutes
“Okay so we can go in now.”Kendall says
“She may not want to leave you know. Some women are too frightened to leave.”Zach says quietly
“We’ll convince her Zach she has to leave if only for that baby girl Chloe.”Kendall says confidently
Zach knocks on the door but no one answers. Kendall then knocks on the door.
“Yes?” Says Hillary through a barely opened door
“You don’t know me but i bet you know my mom Erica Kane. ‘Kendall begins
“You’re Erica’s daughter?”Hillary asks
“Yes. Can we come in?” asks Kendall
“It’s not really a good time.”Hillary says
“Please let us come in and talk to you?”Kendall begs
“Fine but only a few minutes my husband could come back and he doesn’t like visitors.”Hillary
“Hillary I feel like I know you through the stories people have told me.”Kendall begins
“Do you know Tad how is he?” Asks Hillary
“He’s suffering because you’re trying to take his adopted son away.”Zach says bluntly
“What are you talking about?”Asks Hillary surprised
“You didn’t file papers to rescind the adoption of Michael from Tad.”Kendall says
“Henry shoved some papers at me and told me I had to sign but I didn’t know we were filing to adopt Michael. Why would Henry do that?”Hillary
“Does Michael have any money?”Asks Zach
“Well each of the great grandchildren of Henry’s grandparent we’re left trust funds. Chloe has one but Henry controls it until she’s twenty one.”Hillary answers
“Is it possible Henry has used up all of Chloe’s trust fund?”Asks Zach
“I think you two should leave know I don’t even know you and you are saying such horrible things about my husband.”Hillary says
“I know you don’t know us but I know the type your husband is your in danger and so is your daughter.”Zach says “He hit you this morning you have a black eye below that make-up .how long do you think it will be before he hits Chloe.”
“I deserved this I didn’t listen to him and i left the house anyone could have grabbed us.”Hillary parrots
“Are you listening to yourself Hillary? He’s controlling you he doesn’t even let you go out of the house without him.”Kendall states
“He loves me.”Hillary insists
“Does he? When you were married to Tad did he hit you or did Bob Georgia hit you when you were married to him?”Asks Kendall
“No.”Hillary says
“Then why do you put up with it?’Kendall asks “Is this the relationship you want to show your daughter Chloe. Do you want her to grow up thinking this is normal?”
“No but it’s not easy to get away.”Hillary says
“My point exactly why should be hard to leave this house?” Kendall asks
“I don’t know...”Hillary says hesitantly
“Do you remember my sister Bianca?”Asks Kendall
“She was little when last saw her.”Hillary says
“Well My sister started up a women’s shelter the Miranda centre and there a quite a few of them throughout the country now. There is one in Happy Valley where we live and Tad lives. We could take you an Chloe there they could help you deal with all of this?will you let us take you there?”Asks Kendall
“I don’t know.”Hillary says
“What don’t you know?” Kendall asks
“I don’t know what to do.” Hillary says staring at her daughter Chloe in a playpen
“Did you know Henry has emptied out both yours and Chloe’s trust funds?”Asks Zach accessing the internet on his phone
“No he wouldn’t. How do you know this?”Hillary says trembling
“I have some connections at the bank that holds the trusts and Henry managed to get around the restrictions and empty them out. That’s probably why he wants Michael to get at his funds too.” Zach states
“You’re lying he wouldn’t do this to me and Chloe.”Hillary yells
“Yes just like he has never hit you and then what brought flowers gifts to you afterwards promising never to hit you again and yet here you are again with a black eye.”Zach says
“I have to grab a few things for Chloe and I” Hillary says exceeding to the requests
“Let me help you we need to hurry before he comes back.”Kendall says
Kendall helps Hillary pack and they take everything out to the rented car.
“The Cambias Jet is at the airport we leave as soon as we get there” Zach says
They arrive and board the plane.
“Thank-you Mr. Slater, Kendall.”Hillary says
“Call me Zach.” Says Zach smiling
“I can hardly wait to see Tad again.”Hillary says
“He’s married.”Kendall says gently
“Yes Dixie .That’s her name.”Hillary says
“Dixie is dead.”Zach says “Tad remarried.”
“Who is he married to?” Hillary asks
“Dottie.” Kendall asks
“Dottie? Dottie found Tad again does that woman never give up?”Hillary asks
“Actually they have a son together .He’s name is Thaddeus James.”Kendall States “He’s a news anchor.”
“How old is he?” asks Hillary
“He’s about twenty eight.”Kendall answers
“Then she had him when they were married she really was pregnant but why did she walk away and says he wasn’t?”Asks Hillary shocked
“As I understand it Tad loved you. So she walked away so he could be happy with you.”Zach answers
“Wow she did love him.”Hillary says
“Yes and they’re very happy together.”Zach says
Hillary smiles and then we here her thinking we’ll see about that. Tad is mine!
