Every day we've been apart
Sam pushed the clay model of Jack on the floor. She knew that wasn’t what Jack looked like. She hated admitted it herself that there was no way Jack could look like that. The Jack in her mind was far more handsome than that.
The clay model and the disguises he used were probably hideous, they would have to be. Jack couldn’t stand out when he was doing his killings. And the more and more Samantha thought about it, she could live with his killings. It was a part of who he was. She needed him in her life.
And there was no way that jackass in jail was Jack. He couldn’t be. It was just too painful for Sam. She began to think of him in her head as Puppet Jack.
As Puppet Jack’s trial grew closer, Sam was amazed by how Jack had fooled her, but maybe she had needed to be fooled. She needed to be fooled so she could realize she loved Jack, and not this puppet jack. In a way she wished they had caught the real Jack. So, she could finally see what he really looked liked.
Lucas must be a diversion for the rest of the members of the VCTF, Sam concluded. So, that Samantha could be with her Jack one day. She waited till the trial was over, counting the days. She pretended she was stressed out and took a vacation at Bailey’s cabin.
It only took a few minutes for a handsome gentleman carrying roses to come in. He looked just as she had imagined, and a smile appeared on her face. “Jack.”
