Chapter 11
Melinda was beside herself she couldn't lose Cody now. She has fallen in love with him. She would be losing a part of Bobby all over again. She started to cry, Sam walked over hugging her. The Doctor walked out, "It was real close we had to revive him. I think he will be ok in a couple of days. I want him to stay 2 days Melinda, someone poisoned him with a piece of meat it looks like it. They wanted to keep him quiet, I'm worried about you Melinda. I think you should go to the Police, and tell them what happened"?
"I have already, but I will go there again in the morning".
"Go home Melinda, I have your cell phone number on the papers. He is sleeping, it wouldn't be good for you to see him right now. He is hooked up to a lot of machines, it might scare you. I promise you, he will be ok, I'm going to stay with him tonight"
"Promise me you will call me if anything goes wrong. I can't lose him, he is so sweet, I love him". Melinda had tears in her eyes, Dr. Lewis felt like crying. He loved animals, and it was obvious Cody was loved by his owner. He touched her cheek, "Cody will be home with you, in no time. You can visit tomorrow, I will take good care of him". Melinda hugged him, "Thank you Dr. Lewis"
"Go have a rest, I will call if I need you". Sam put his arm around her, and they walked outside. The Officer drove them to Sam's place. Sam was not going to let her stay in her house tonight. They would get the window fixed tomorrow. Melinda walked into Sam's house. She felt weird being alone at night with him. She whispered, "Maybe I should go home Sam"?
"No, I have a spare room you can wear one of my shirts"
"Thank you, I don't know what I would have done without you tonight"
"They will find that creep, how could anyone hurt a innocent puppy"?
"Did you see Cody Sam he wanted me to help him, but I couldn't"
"Shh you did everything you could for him. He is safe, I'm so sorry this happened"
Melinda wiped the tears from her eyes. Sam smiled, "Would you like a beer or a glass of wine before you turn in"?
"Sure I would love that". They walked into the living room, and she sat on the couch. He walked over grabbing himself a beer, and her a glass of white wine. He walked over sitting beside her, handing her the glass. She took a sip, "This is very good"
"Yeah I got a bottle from the bar I work at. My boss is very generous, nothing but the best for his employee's."
"That is very nice"
"Melinda I know you feel strange here, but don't be. I would never overstep my boundaries, I promise"
"You have been a perfect gentleman"
"Good "
"You don't have a girlfriend Sam"?
"I did 6 months ago, but not right now"
"Oh I'm sorry"
"Well it was for the best she cheated on me. I'm a one woman man, I couldn't trust her after that. She was sorry, but it happened once, it could happen again"
"Oh that is sad"
"Yes it is but I'm a believer things happen for a reason. I wasn't what she needed or she never would have cheated on me. I forgave her, but I moved on".
"You seem very sweet Sam, you remind me of my Husband Bobby"
"That is nice my Grandfather loved Bobby. He said Bobby would take him out fishing all the time. I just wish I could have thanked him myself, I'm so sorry he passed away Melinda"
"Me too, I miss him so much". Sam but his beer down, he moved closer, putting his arm around her. She cried in his arms, but they didn't realize Steve was outside watching through the window. He ran down to the beach he was so angry, he wanted to make her pay. She knew he liked her, and he was in his arms now, Steve whispered, "Enjoy yourself Melinda, you won't have him for long".

Great update Jessie. I really hope that Cody is going to be ok. Steve is awful watching Sam and Melinda through the window. I am wondering who poisoned Melinda's dog Cody. I have a sad feeling it was Steve.

Chapter 12
Melinda and Sam talked a little longer but he could see she was exhausted. He took her upstairs, and took her to the guest room. She smiled as he went to his room, and brought back a large t-shirt for her to wear to bed. She laid it on the bed as he got her some clean towels for her bathroom. He pulled her bedspread down, and touched her face.
"If you need anything I'm right next door"
"Who would harm my puppy Sam"?
"I don't know Sweetie but I'm sure Cody will be fine"
"What if the person does it again"?
"Do you have any enemies Melinda"?
"No but there was this guy in New York , I didn't like. I thought I saw him today, but he can't be here".
"Ok you are safe here"
"Thank you for everything Sam you really are wonderful"
"So are you, and I'm in love with your puppy he is adorable. We became fast friends me , and him"
"He is adorable if I lose him"
"Shh you will not lose him would you like a tea"?
"Sure I will change, than go down, and make it. I will bring it up to you, get settled in bed Melinda"
"Ok". Sam left Melinda walked over to the bed lifting the shirt. She smiled seeing it was a Roiling Stones shirt. Bobby loved the Stones too, she started to cry. She missed Bobby so much, she remembered the first time they met. He was so funny, she fell in love with him the first time she saw him. He made her laugh, and she missed that. She enjoyed her time with Sam, but part of her felt guilty about that. She knew Bpbby would be OK with it, but she knew she wasn't ready for a relationship yet. She undressed, and slipped on the T-shirt, and got in bed. She pulled the covers up just as Sam walked into the room.
"I made the tea, I didn't put sugar or milk in, but I brought you some".
"Thanks" she put some milk in the tea, than took a sip.
"Melinda tomorrow we will go to your house, and fix that window. I will check everything, than we will check on Cody. If he has to stay another day maybe you can still come to my place of work"
"I would love that"
"You can meet my friends, they are pretty cool"
"I'm sure if they are anything like you, I will like them"
"This man you didn't like in New York was it a Ex boyfriend"
"Oh no it was someone in my apartment. It was real strange Cody hated him right off the bat"
"Hey dogs have good sense about people. If he didn't like him maybe there was a reason"
"Yeah he is a jerk, he is so annoying , and he is full of himself"
"Well you don't have to see him for a while."
"Thank God"
Melinda put her tea down, "Sam can I ask you one thing"?
"Of course what is the matter"?
"Can you stay with me until I fall asleep"?
"Sure". He smiled as she laid back, and shut her eyes. He walked over to the chair, and sat down, watching her fall asleep. He was so worried about this person that hurt Cody, and broke her window. Could it be this man from New York, or some cruel person around here? He didn't know but he knew he was going to keep a eye on her, he really liked her, and he didn't want anything to happen to her.

Chapter 13
The next morning, Melinda woke up, and was surprised seeing Sam sleeping in the chair. She felt horrible she got up, and walked over to the chair. She touched Sam's shoulder making him jump.
"OMG are you alright"?
"Yes you slept in that chair all night, your back will be killing you"
"Yeah it is already, but I didn't want to leave you"
"Sam I owe you so much, thank you for this"
Sam got up, "Want to go down for a coffee, and some breakfast"?
"Sure only if I can make it"?
"Sure but I don't mind"
"I want to do something for you"
"That is fine, lets go down now". They walked downstairs, she told Sam to sit down, she put the coffee on. She asked him if French toast would be ok?
"Love it". She went to the fridge, and got the eggs, and butter. She got the bread, and the frying pan, and started making the French toast. Sam was watching her, he missed having someone to wake up to. He missed being with someone special, and he really missed having someone he could confide in, when he needed to talk. Melinda turned around, "You are quiet, is something wrong"?
"No, I was just thinking how great it is to have someone to talk to "
"I'm sure you have friends, you told me you did"
"Yeah they are wonderful but you do get lonely"
"You should get a puppy they really help when you are lonely"
"Can I have Cody"?
"You are kidding he is all mine"
"Awe"
She brought the food over, and put the plate in front of Sam. She poured his coffee, and hers. She brought her plate over, and sat down. They were eating, and talking about different things. Melinda missed having someone to talk to also. She remembered her , and Bobby always talked , and had breakfast together. They also set up special times just for the two of them. He missed those times, but she treasured every moment she had with Bobby. He would always be the love of her life, but maybe someday she would find someone else. She smiled at Sam, "Why don't you go up, and shower, I will do the dishes"?
"Melinda I don't like you doing stuff around here. You are a guest, I can load the dishwasher". She got up, but he got up at the same time. They both came face to face, and for a moment, they just stared at each other. He wanted to kiss her so bad, but he turned away, "I will go get that shower, than we can go to your place". He almost ran out of the kitchen, Melinda knew he was just as confused as her. She wanted to kiss him too, but she felt horrible. She picked up the plates, and was loading the dishwasher. She put the milk away, and turned to see someone standing at the patio door. She screamed, and the person ran off. Sam ran downstairs, Melinda screamed that someone was watching them. Sam ran out the door as Melinda called 911. Sam ran down the steps looking both ways. He saw someone running, and he started to chase him. He seen the man run behind someone's house. He ran over looking around, he couldn't believe he lost him. He turned around, and was about to walk back to the house, when he felt something hit him, and before he knew it he was out cold.
Steve was holding a rock, he was about to hit him again. He heard Melinda screaming out Sam's name. He could hear her voice getting closer. Steve ran just as Melinda came around the corner, and screamed seeing Sam on the ground.

Chapter 14
Melinda ran over to Sam touching his face. She saw the blood, and she started to panic. She looked around she knew the person, that hurt him, and Cody was close by. She started to cry, as Sam opened his eyes a little.
"Melinda someone hit me"
"I know the Police are coming stay still"
Melinda touched his face, as Sam shut his eyes again. She cried out, Sam don't you leave me, I need you".
Sam opened his eyes, "I'm tired the pain is bad"
"I know but look at me, I'm right here, the ambulance is coming"
"Where is the person go back to the house"?
"I'm not leaving you Sam". She heard the ambulance, she was so relieved she screamed out for help. They came running around the side of the house, and ran over to Sam. They told her to let them help him. She was crying, they got him prepared for transport. They said Melinda could come with them. The Police wanted to speak to her, but she wanted to go to the hospital. They said they would follow the ambulance, she could explain what happened? She got in the ambulance, and they took off to the hospital. Sam was awake but in severe pain. Melinda was beside herself, she couldn't understand why this was happening? Was someone trying to hurt her or Sam or both? She watched as the Paramedic worked on Sam. They got to the hospital, they ran Sam into the hospital while Melinda followed. They told Melinda to wait in the waiting area, they would come out as soon as they got him settled. Melinda sat down on the bench, she remembered the last time being in a hospital was when Bobby died. She couldn't lose Sam now too, she put her hands to her face. The Police walked up to her, "Melinda we need to know what happened"?
"I stayed the night with Sam, we had breakfast, he went upstairs to shower. I saw someone standing at his back door, and I screamed. Sam came down, and ran outside looking for this man. I called 911, than I ran outside to find Sam. I didn't see him, but I saw him laying on the ground 2 doors down. He was unconscious he was bleeding from the head. He came to he said someone hit him. I don't understand this first my puppy, now Sam. I never had any enemies, so I don't know why this is happening"?
"Do you know if Sam has any enemies"?
"I don't think so we talk last night. I just met him, but knowing him just this week, I can't see he would have a enemy"
"Ok we don't want you being alone until we find this person"
"I'm not leaving here until I find out about Sam. I'm not leaving my home, I'm not going to let this person scare me away. I will of course take precautions, but this animal will not scare me"
The Police touched her shoulder, "You need to be careful this is very serious. The next time something worse could happen"
"I know that but I just came here who would do this"?
"We will go back to Sam's place we will see if they have any evidence, but I'm sure there isn't"
"Thank you"
"Be careful Mame". They walked down the hall, Melinda sat down. She was staring at the wall, she only knew one person she would even consider a threat, but he can't be here. She looked at the exam room willing for the door to open. She was so afraid she would see a Doctor come out telling her something horrible, she knew she couldn't handle that.

Chapter 15
Melinda was sitting waiting for news when the Doctor walked out.
"Hello you came in with Sam"?
"Yes is he ok please tell me he is ok"
"He is resting, he will have to stay for at least 12 hours, just to make sure. He had a severe hit to the head, he has 20 stitches, but he will be ok. He says he doesn't know who hit him, but if he has another hit like that again it could be life threatening"
"Oh God I don't know who is doing this"?
"Would you like to come in to see him"?
"Yes I would". The Doctor took her in, she walked over to Sam.
"Sam I was so scared"
"I'm sorry I was stupid running after the person"
"I don't understand why this is happening, I don't know if they are after you, or me or both"
"I know I never heard stuff like this happening around here"
"I know you have to stay here for 12 hours, but I will take care of you when I get home. I'm going to call someone to fix the window, we can stay at my place. I have to leave to go to the Pet hospital to see Cody, than I will be back"
"I don't want you to be alone"
"I'm fine I will be careful, but I want you to know I'm going to make sure this person pays for this"
"Who is it Melinda"?
"I don't know Sam, but people like that make mistakes. I hope he won't come around anymore".
"I'm so tired Melinda"
"You sleep, I will be back I will go see Cody, and come back. I'm sure they won't release him yet. I just have to see him myself to make sure he is ok. I'm sure he is scared, he is just a baby"
"Melinda don't cry Cody will be fine he has you. I'm so glad I do to, but be careful"
Melinda touched his cheek, than waited for him to fall asleep. She left calling a cab, and went to the Dog Hospital. She paid, and went inside walking up to the desk.
"Hi you are here for Cody right"?
"Yes how is he"?
"Doing pretty good a little tired, but he seems to be missing you". The Doctor came out, "Hello Melinda, your little guy is doing quite well. I would like to keep him a extra day just to be safe"
"That is good something happened last night. I have to do some stuff, but can I see him"?
"Sure let me take you back"
Melinda walked back, Cody saw her he was in a cage. He jumped up all excited to see her. The Doctor opened the cage, and hugged him she began to cry. He was laying his head on her shoulder she could see he was still weak. It was probably better that he stayed one more day. Melinda whispered, "I'm so sorry, I didn't protect you good enough baby"
Cody looked at her , and it was like he was saying, "It wasn't your fault". She smiled, "You are even more special my boy, I love you"
The Doctor smiled, "Maybe I will give him a shot he needs to rest. You can stay here until he falls asleep. She watched as the Doctor gave him a shot, and he laid him down in the cage. Melinda walked over patting him until he shut his eyes. She wiped tears from her eyes, "I will be back soon Cody, I won't let anyone hurt you ever again". She shut the cage, and left the hospital. She was running on empty she was hungry, and she needed a coffee bad. She walked to a diner, and went inside sitting at a booth. The waitress walked over, "Coffee"
"Yes, and bacon, and eggs would be great"
"How would you like them"?
"Over easy, bacon well done, regular coffee"
"Coming up". The waitress handed her a newspaper, Melinda was looking at it. She didn't pay attention but someone walked up to the table, and sat down. She put the paper down seeing Steve, she couldn't believe her eyes.
"Hey Melinda, I was passing through, and saw you through the window"
"Oh God it was you"
"What are you talking about, I just came into town"?
Melinda was frozen in fear Steve was more crazy than she thought. She wanted to run but her legs wouldn't move, she didn't know what to do?
