Can I Still Count on You?

CHAPTER TWENTY: SALEM PLACE
Bo: Just look around for dark rooms, vacant ones.
Daniel: Are you sure they're around here.
Bo: Almost positive. My visions always have something true in them.
Philip: He's right. Just keep looking.
Roman: Bo, Salem Place is huge. We need to split up. Daniel and I will go look over here.
Bo: Okay, Philip and I will look around here.
Daniel: Lets go. <he and Roman walk away>.
Bo: We have to find our wives Philip.
Philip: We will.

THE SALEM POLICE DEPARTMENT
Jennifer: Hey Victor, can I talk to you for a second?
Victor: Sure, what is it?
Jennifer: I just wanted to let you know that Carly wasn't the one that spilled the red wine all over your carpet, Vivian was.
Victor: What? Nobody ever split red wine all over my carpet.
Jennifer: Oh well yesterday, Vivian was talking about how you were blaming Carly for something that she did, and I asked her what it was, and she said that she spilled red wine all over your carpet, and you blamed Carly for it.
Victor: I never blamed Carly for that, nobody ever spilled red wine on my carpet.
Jennifer: Well, then it must have been something else that you blamed Carly for that Vivian did.
Victor: The only other thing that I blamed Carly for was kidnapping Hope and Melanie.
Victor and Jennifer both look at each other with a strange look on his face.
Jennifer: You don't think?
Victor: Thats it! Vivian kidnapped Hope, Carly and Melanie!

THE DARK ROOM: 1/2 AN HOUR OF CARBON MONOXIDE TAKEN IN
Hope: Oh my gosh, Larry can't really be doing this to me. Bo needs to find me. C'mon Brady, where are you? I don't have much time left!
Hope tries to yell Bo's name, but can't. Then, she begins to get dizzy, and passes out, landing on the mattress.

IN THE CAR
Gus has just picked up Vivian. The two of them are driving towards the outskirts of Salem, when Vivian gets a phone call.
Vivian: Oh, Gus its Victor. You have to be quiet.
Gus: Okay, madam, answer it.
Vivian: Victor my darling.
Victor: Alright, so I'm gonna give you a choice.
Vivian: What do you mean?
Victor: Either you come to the Police Station right now, or I send the police after you. Its your pick.
Vivian: What are you talking about?
Victor: You'll find out when you get here. You have ten minutes Vivian. <hangs up>
Vivian: Oh my gosh Gus, he's on to me. He knows I kidnapped them!
Gus: What?
Vivian: You need to take me to the Police Station now. I have to cover up Larry and myself. When we get there, you have to leave me the car, and go hide.
Gus turns the car around, and they head back to the police station.

ON THE PHONE: BO'S CELL
Bo: Hello?
Victor: I have a lead.
Bo: WHAT!
Victor: Get to the police department now, if you want to find you're wife.
Bo: Be there in ten.

To be continued Monday.
Next to Come: Vivian gets busted, but she doesn't know where Hope is, since she has never been there.
 
Wow amazing chapters. Just adored the way that Bo's connection to Hope is still there. (He could always feel where Hope was when she was in trouble and neede him to resuce her. It was a real strong connection ). Love that Viv is about to be found out. Thanks for the chapters Hope*Brady.
 
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: OUTSIDE SALEM POLICE DEPARTMENT
Vivian and Gus are both sitting in the car.
Vivian: Okay, so I'm gonna go inside, and you are going to leave me the car and run.
Gus: Madam, why?
Vivian: Because Victor knows that everytime I'm with you I'm always scheming, so you need to run.
Gus: Are you sure, what if you get hurt?
Vivian: Please, if Victor or anybody was going to hurt me, I would be dead by now.
Gus: Good point.
Gus and Vivian both step out of the car, leaving Carly and Melanie in the trunk. Vivian takes a deep breath, and steps into the polioce station, while Gus runs away.

THE SALEM POLICE DEPARTMENT
Vivian: Ah, Victor Darling, Jennifer.
Victor: Shut up Vivian!
Vivian: My darling, why?
Jennifer: Oh, like you don't know.
Vivian: What are you talking about?
Just as she said that, Bo, Daniel, Philip and Roman walk in.
Bo: Vic, whats the lead? DID YOU FIND THEM?
Victor: This is the lead. <grabs Vivian>
Daniel: Vivian?
Vivian: Lead? What lead? I didn't do anything!
Jennifer: Ya, like we're gonna believe you.
Bo: Start talking Vivian. WHERE'S MY WIFE!
Vivian: I...I don't know!
Roman: How did you get here.
Vivian: Gus drove me, ugh I mean...I drove myself, while um...talking on the phone to Gus.
Bo: Lets go check the car! Maybe Gus is in there, and will give us some help. Vic, keep her here.
Victor: Oh, she's not going anywhere.
Vivian: I'm INNOCENT! HONESTLY!

IN THE TRUNK:
Carly and Melanie have managed to pull their gags off, but they still can't see.
Melanie: Mom, we're gonna die. They're gonna kill us.
Carly: I won't let that happen.
Melanie: Hope's already dying right now. She's probably unconscious.
Carly: We're gonna save her.
Melanie: How Mom? How? Getting Hope out of your life is just what you wanted.
Carly: That doesn't mean I want her dead!
Melanie: I'm sorry, I'm just in a really bad mood, and I miss Philip.
Carly: Lets just try yelling. I mean, Gus stopped the car, so who knows where we are!
Melanie: HEEEEEEELP!
Carly: HEEEEEELP US!

OUTSIDE THE SALEM POLICE DEPARTMENT:
Bo, Roman, Philip and Daniel all hear Carly and Melanie's yells.
Philip: MELANIE!
Bo: HOPE!
They all run over, and look in the car, to find none of them. Then, they lift the trunk lid, which hadn't been locked.
Daniel: Melanie!
Melanie: Daddy! Daddy is that you?
Carly: DANIEL!
Daniel: Its me, don't worry. <he and Roman remove the blindfolds>
Bo: Where's Hope?
Carly: Um, Bo...she
Bo: WHERE IS SHE!
Melanie: Its Larry Welch, Bo! He's killing her with carbon monoxide as we speak.
Bo: WHAT! WHERE IS SHE?
Carly: She's under the pier, in a secret room. We don't know where though.

UNDER THE PIER: (AN HOUR OF CARBON MONOXIDE CONSUMED)
Hope lays on a mattress, very still. She isn't moving, and appears not to be breathing. Suddenly, Larry walks down the stairs to check on her. He feels her pulse.
Larry: Happened sooner than I thought. She's dead. I've killed her, FINALLY! I'VE KILLED HOPE BRADY!

To be continued Tuesday:
Only two chapters left!
Next to Come: Will Hope be lost forever?
 
Yea. Melanie and Carly are safe. So happy :smile: I am so waiting for Viv and Larry to get what is coming to them. I bet Larry is not good at checking for a pulse and Hope is still alive. Hoping that Bo gets to her in time. Thanks for the chapter.
 
Just wanted to let everyone know that there has been a change of plans, and there will be four more chapters in the story, as opposed to two. This is because I wrote two chapters, but they were both too long, so I have decided to split them in half, making four new chapters. The last chapter will be posted Friday, so keep reading. Thanks!
 
Hey readers, Im really sorry, but I had my first day of school today, and I have to do some volunteering tonight, so todays chapter will be posted tommorow. My apologies, Hope
 
CHAPTER TWENTY TWO (EXTENDED TO MAKE UP FROM YESTERDAY:
OUTSIDE THE SALEM POLICE DEPARTMENT
Bo, Daniel, Philip and Roman have just found Melanie and Carly in the back of Vivian's car. Melanie and Carly have just told Bo that Hope is underneath the pier in a secret room, while Larry Welch is filling it with Carbon Monoxide.
Philip: <hugging Melanie> What should we do?
Bo: Daniel, um...call an ambulance, Philip, make sure Vivian doesn't go anywhere and call Lexie to let her know that she needs to prepare for Hope, Roman, come with me.
Philip: But what if you don't find Hope?
Bo: Don't say that! I WILL FIND HOPE!
Melanie: But Bo, we don't know where she is under the pier. We don't know the exact location.
Carly: You need to look for a car thats running, with a hose attached into the ground. Thats how you'll find her.
Bo: C'mon Roman, we don't have that much time. How long has the carbon monoxide been running?
Carly: <looks at her watch> About an hour.
Bo and Roman get into Bo's car, and head down to the pier.

UNDER THE PIER:
Larry has just checked Hope's pulse, and announced to himself that she is dead.
Larry: Finally, I haven't been defeated. I have finally killed Hope Brady!
Suddenly Gus walks down into the basement.
Gus: Mr. Welch, did you succeed?
Larry: Sure did! Felt her pulse and everything.
Gus: So, what should we do with her.
Larry: Well, um.....Hey, wait a minute! Where's Vivian, Carly and Melanie!
Gus: Um, Vivian had to take a quick detour to the police station.
Larry: WHAT!
Gus: Victors on to her.
Larry: No, you have to be kidding.
Gus: I'm not, so what should we do with the body?
Larry: Um, well I'll go turn off my car, and then we can just hide here the night, and deal with Hope tomorow.
Gus: Okay.
Larry walks up the stairs, into the parking lot, and turns off his car. Just as he does that, Bo and Roman show up. Larry hides on the side of his car.

IN THE CAR:
Roman: Okay, lets get out right here.
Bo: Okay. <open doors, and step out> Look around for a car with a hose attached to it.
Roman: <looks around> Bo, I don't see anything.
Bo: Keep looking, I'll go over to the pier.
Roman: Listen Bo, I don't think Larry Welch would be that stupid to have his car out in the open, with a hose attached to it.
Bo: Good point, but look around for any clues.
Roman: Hey, wait a minute. Whats that?
Roman points to a car at the far end of the parking lot, directly beside a large bush. He see's a wide blue hose, that has been hidden well.
Bo: THAT'S IT! <Bo and Roman run over>

BY THE CAR:
Larry: Shoot, um...where do I go. I can't let them find me.
Roman and Bo run over, and begin to look around the car.
Roman: Bo, the car's been shut off.
Bo: Ya, so...KEEP LOOKING! WE HAVE TO FIND HER!
Suddenly, Larry stands up, holding his gun.
Larry: STAY BACK!
Bo: NO, IT CAN'T REALLY BE YOU!
Larry: WELL IT IS, so you better believe it.
Bo: WHERE'S MY WIFE?
Larry: Not with us anymore, why do you think the car's shut off.
Roman: No, Larry...no.
Larry: I killed her Bo. I KILLED YOUR WIFE!
Suddenly, Roman grabs Larry, and knocks the gun out of his hand.
Roman: FOLLOW THE HOSE BO! FOLLOW IT!
Larry: LET GO OF ME!

ON TOP OF THE PIER:
Bo follows the hose in fear, and sees it leaking into a room. He opens the door, which Larry hadn't locked, and see's Gus standing up, and Hope lying down, appearing to be dead.

To be continued Thursday!
Next to Come: The ambulance arrives, and Daniel tests Hope's pulse.
 
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: UNDER THE PIER
Bo follows the hose in fear, and sees it leaking into a room. He opens the door, which Larry hadn't locked, and see's Gus standing up, and Hope lying down, appearing to be dead.

Gus: Wha...What are you doing here!?
Bo: WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY WIFE? <runs over and pushes Gus, then bends down to see Hope> Hope? Fancy Face, can you hear me?
Suddenly, a few more police officers and Roman walk down into the basement. Larry is in handcuffs, and they go over and handcuff Gus.
Roman: Bo, is she okay?
Bo: We need an ambulance! NOW!
Officer: You two are coming with me.
Larry: Told you Bo, I killed her. I finally killed your wife!
Officer: C'mon <pulls Gus and Larry away>
Bo: Hope? Can you hear me?
Roman: C'mon lets carry her up.
Bo: <picks Hope up> Fancy Face, its gonna be okay. Its gonna be okay.

IN THE AMBULANCE:
Due to the fact that Bo told Daniel to get an ambulance, he and Carly are on the way to the scene.
Carly: Daniel, what if she doesn't make it?
Daniel: Don't say that, not now.
Carly: Daniel, c'mon, we've done enough things at the hospital about carbon monoxide to know that it is very powerful. Plus, the room wasn't that large, so it would have filled up easily.
Daniel: Carly, its like you want her to die!
Carly: NO I DON'T! I'm just preparing for the worst.
Daniel: Ya, sure.
Carly: Oh my gosh Daniel, if she doesn't make it, how do we tell Bo and Ciara? Oh my gosh Daniel! They'll be devastated!
Daniel: We'll worry about that if we have too, lets just get to the scene.
The ambulance pulls up, and Daniel and Carly get out, and see an unconscious Hope in Bo's arms.
Daniel: Bo, is she okay. <runs over>
Bo: I don't know, Daniel please, you have to save her.
Carly: <runs over to Bo, and hugs him> We'll do everything we can Bo, we'll try our best, she'll be okay.
Bo: Carly, please, you have to save her.
Daniel: <from inside the ambulance> CARLY COME HERE!
Carly and Bo both run over, and Carly steps into the back of the ambulance, closes the door, and leaves a worried Bo outside.

INSIDE THE AMBULANCE:
Carly: Daniel, what is it? Is she okay?
Daniel: Its her pulse, its weak, but its there.
Carly: C'mon, we need oxygen, fast.
Driver: Are we good to leave?
Suddenly, Bo bangs on the back door, and Carly opens it.
Carly: Bo, what is it?
Bo: I'm coming with you.
Daniel: Get in.
The ambulance leaves.

ON THE PIER:
Roman pulls out his cellphone, and calls Philip.
Philip: Roman, did you find her?
Roman: Ya, Daniel, Carly, Bo and Hope are all on their way to the hospital.
Philip: Is she okay?
Roman: Its hard to say, but gather everyone up and meet me at the hospital/
Philip: Be there in about fifteen.
Roman: Bye.

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL:
Carly and Daniel pull in with Hope on a stretcher, and Bo holding her hand. Lexie walks over.
Lexie: OH MY GOSH! HOPE!
Bo: LEXIE PLEASE, DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO SAVE HER!
Lexie: We'll do whatever we can. <pulls Hope into a room with Daniel>
Carly: Don't worry Bo, we'll do whatever we can.
Bo: If she doesn't survive, I swear, I'll kill Welch. I'll kill him. If she doesn't survive, I don't have anything to live for, so I might as well spend the rest of my life in jail.
Carly: What do you mean you don't have anything to live for? You have Ciara, you have Shawn...
Bo: I know, but I need Hope!
Carly: You have me...
Bo: <looks at Carly> Ya, but Carly, I don't know if that's enough.

IN THE HOSPITAL ROOM:
Hope is lying on the bed, with an oxygen mask on her.
Daniel: Lex, do you think she'll make it?
Lexie: We'll find out if her heartbeat gets stronger.
Daniel: How much longer until will know?
Lexie: Soon, real soon.

Next to Come: THE FINALE! Will Hope wake up?
To be continued Friday!
 
I knew she would have a pulse. I just knew it. Fight Hope fight. Just love how Bo said he had nothing to live for if Hope dies. Looking foreward to tomorrow.
 
CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR: THE FINALE; SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL:
Carly: What do you mean you don't know if thats enough?
Bo: Carly, I...
Carly: Bo, you told me you loved me. You told me that you and Hope were over. You told me I was the one you wanted. You told me...
Bo: I know, but Carly, that was when I thought that Hope was through with me.
Carly: She is though Bo.
Bo: How do you know?
Carly: I...I don't. But, c'mon I mean, if she loved you, and wanted you, she would have fought a lot harder. She didn't fight at all.
Bo: Thats not the truth, I was the one who didn't fight.
Carly: So what are you saying?
Bo: Do you remember the day on the beach when you told me that you would do whatever was best for me and Ciara, since I was there for you when you needed me.
Carly: Ya.
Bo: Well, I've decided that...
Carly: That you want to be with Hope.
Bo: Ya.
Carly: I knew this was coming.
Bo: You did?
Carly: Bo, I could tell that you still love her. The look you gave her, it just said "I love you" all over it.
Bo: Carly, I really did love you...
Carly: When you thought Hope was dead.
Bo: Ya, but Car, she's my life, and she always will be.
Carly: Friends?
Bo: Forever. <they hug, Carly's eyes tear up>
Carly: Well, then I'm gonna go help save your wife.

IN THE HOSPITAL ROOM:
Daniel and Lexie are watching Hope's heartbeat on the screen.
Daniel: What do you think?
Lexie: Daniel, I don't thin...<begins to cry> I don't think she's gonna make it.
Suddenly Carly walks in.
Carly: You can forget that! HOPE WILL MAKE IT!
Daniel: Carly, there's no way to change it.
Carly: Increase the amount of oxygen she's taking in, and go get a crash cart.
Lexie: Carly, thats too dangerous!
Carly: Lexie, you and I both know that she's gonna die if we don't do this. Look at her heartbeat. Bo can't lose her.
Daniel: <with a crash cart> Okay, clear...

AN HOUR LATER:
Daniel, Carly and Lexie all walk out of Hope's room. Bo, Roman, Philip, Melanie, Doug, Julie and other family members are joined in the living room.
Bo: Carly, how is she?
Carly: Bo, we...we've...
Bo: What is it? Carly, talk to me! TALK TO ME! IS MY WIFE GONNA MAKE IT?
Lexie: Bo, we don't know. <eyes tear up>
Daniel: Time will tell.
Bo: What do you mean you don't know? Lexie, HOPE HAS TO LIVE!
Lexie: Bo, you can go in an see her.

IN THE HOSPITAL ROOM:
Bo enters the hospital room, and see's Hope lying on a bed. An oxygen mask is attached to her, along with several cords. He sits down beside her.
Bo: <grabs her hand> Fancy Face?
Hope: <remains still>
Bo: Hope, you have to wake up for me. Please, Fancy Face. I need you. <eyes tear up> I need you!
Hope: <remains still>
Bo: You need to listen to me. I want to apologize for everything. Everything. I should have fought more, far more for us. You don't deserve what I put you through. However, what I need to do, is ask you to forgive me.
Hope: <remains still>
Bo: Just so you know, I just broke up with Carly. Losing you for this period of time made me realize how much I truly did miss you Hope. I don't expect you to forgive me, because I was terrible to you, but I just want you to know, that I still love you, and I always will. You will always be my Fancy Face, and I promise you, right now, that nobody will ever replace you again, because nobody could ever replace the woman I love. So, please, wake up for me. Fancy Face, you have to wake up for me!
Hope: <eyes slowly open> Bbrraaddyy.
Bo: Hope? Fancy Face? Its me, its.....LEXIE! DANIEL! CARLY! HER EYES! THEIR OPEN!
Suddenly, Carly, Daniel and Lexie all run in the room, and put a couple of needles into Hope. A few minutes later, her eyes fully open.
Hope: Bo! <starts crying>
Bo: Hope! <hugs her> You're okay, I promise.
Hope: I forgive you, for everything.
Bo: What?
Hope: I heard it Bo, I heard everything. I just couldn't respond.
Bo: Fancy Face?
Hope: Yes, Brady?
Bo: Will you...will you be my wife again?
Hope: <cry's more> Without a doubt!
They begin to kiss.
Hope: Never leave me again Brady, and I'll never leave you!
Bo: Never Fancy Face, never again. I love you.
Hope: You don't know how long I've waited to hear you say that.
Continue to kiss. Philip watches from the open door, while everyone else cheers.
Philip: Well, guess I don't need this. <holds up tape recording>
Melanie: What is it?
Philip: Just a tape recording of Bo admitting that he still loves Hope.
Melanie: Yep, you're right, you don't need that.

BACK IN THE HOSPITAL ROOM:
Bo and Hope are in the room kissing, when Hope decides to talk.
Hope: Brady.
Bo: Ya.
Hope: I have a confession to make.
Bo: Okay, go ahead.
Hope: When I told you that I didn't love you anymore, that was a complete lie.
Bo: I know. Now, all that I need to do is make it up to you.
Hope: And how do you plan on doing that?
Bo: I think, we need to buy another boat.
Hope: WHAT?
Bo: Just rent one, for like a week.
Hope: What?
Bo: C'mon, you know you want to.
Hope: A week on a boat with the man I love, how could I say no?
They continue to kiss.

THE END

Thanks a lot for reading! If you could post your opinion on the whole story, that would be great! I'd love to hear from you, so please do it.
I hope you all enjoyed the story, now lets just Hope that Bo reconciles soon! :)
 
Loved the ending. So exciting to see if Hope would make it or not. Just adored that Carly was the one really fighting to save Hope in the end and that Carly and Bo will remain friends forever. Such a great story from start to end. Sure hope that more stories are to come. Thanks for the wonderful and enjoyable story Hope*Brady.
