Chapter 10: The Truth
"Sheridan what did you say?" Suddenly, the elevator started to move. Once they reached the 12th floor the elevator doors opened. Luis helped Sheridan get to there room. They inserted the card into the slot and Luis opened the door.
"Luis I think we should talk about what happened. I think it's time you learned the truth." "What are you talking about?" "Remember in Santa Fe I told you that I had been suffering from childhood nightmares." "Yes, I remember"
"Well they aren't really nightmares. I mean I am not sure if the events in my nightmare occurred or not." "Sheridan what do you remember?"
"I was seven years old and I remember being in the living room. I heard someone approaching. I grabbed the letter opener and hid in the corner. The rest is pretty much a blur. Oh Luis, after that I remember seeing my hands covered with blood and a bloody sheet covering a buddy."
Sheridan collapsed in Luis' arms and started to cry.
"Sheridan I am sure its just a nightmare, you are capable of murder you are not that kind of person."
"What if I am a murderess, I mean what if I killed someone that night?" "Sheridan you are overreacting." "Do you still love me Luis?" "Of course I love you Sheridan no matter what happened that night." "Sheridan I think you should lie down and get some sleep." "But Luis I thought we were going to get married." "Sheridan you're exhausted we have had a rough day. We will get married tomorrow morning. No get some sleep. He kissed Sheridan on the lips gently and then she lay on the bed.
She closed her eyes and instantly fell asleep. Luis decided he should call home and inform the family that everything was ok. He picked up the phone and called Theresa. He explained to Theresa that everything was fine. He told them he was getting married to Sheridan in the morning and where they were staying. After the telephone conversation he lay down next to Sheridan. He wrapped his arms around her waist and feel asleep cuddled up to his fiancée.
Meanwhile back at the Crane Mansion, Julian was furious that Sheridan was in Spain with Luis. He called the Buenos Nochas hotel and asked whether or not his sister was staying at that hotel. The manager answered "Yes Mr. Crane they are staying in the honeymoon suite." "Honeymoon Suite, are you sure?" "Positive Mr. Crane they checked in early today." After hanging up Julian informed his father Alistair of the news and decided to fly to Spain in the Crane family jet.
The following morning Sheridan and Luis drove to the wedding chapel. They had already gotten there marriage license and were waiting for the minister to arrive. The minister walked through the door and the wedding march started to play.
A plane arrived unexpectedly at the Spain International Airport. As the plane doors opened, an elderly man stepped out of the plane and looked at the younger gentleman who was now carrying his baggage. "Hello Mr. Crane it is so good to see you again. You haven't been in Spain in awhile. What kind of business brings you to these parts sir?"
Mr. Crane turned to the young gentlemen and said "Well as a matter of fact, I am hear to stop my daughter's wedding."
