JAVA CAFE, the next day
Kate: Here are the codes.
She hands Lucas a piece of paper.
Lucas: Is this all of them? Are you sure they’re right?
Kate: Positive.
Lucas: How did you get them?
Kate: You don’t want to know. But it’s amazing what Rolf will say and do when you give him a little Schnapps.
Lucas: This is great Mom, thanks!
Kate: Stefano and I are going to the opera tonight. I convinced Stefano to give the staff the night off. The house will be completely empty after 7:00.
Lucas: What about the main security system?
Kate: That code is on the list too, along with the code to the front door. I’m going to accidentally disable the video cameras before we leave tonight.
Lucas: That’s perfect.
Kate: I’ve taken care of everything I can think of. The rest is up to you. Be careful, baby.
Lucas: I will.
DIMERA MANSION, 7:30 that night
Lucas has gotten into the mansion using the security code his mother gave him. He is wearing gloves to ensure he leaves no fingerprints behind. He makes his way upstairs to the secret file room and he enters the code on the keypad outside the door. The door opens and Lucas goes inside. The room is spare. No file cabinets. No locked drawers. Just a computer, a desk, and a chair. He turns the computer on and enters the logon code, then another code to log into the history file. He looks at the file folders on the hard drive. There’s a folder that says “Hostages.” Lucas double clicks the folder and sees a series of subfolders. There’s one for Roman Brady. One for Marlena Evans. Another one called “The Pawn” for John Black. One for Hope Brady. One for Anthony Dimera. One for Steve Johnson, and so on. Finally, he sees the one for Samantha Brady, which confirms that his suspicions were correct. He double clicks the folder and it opens. At that very moment, he hears a noise downstairs.
