As Marlena drove over to Bo and Hope's, she couldn't help thinking about the moment after she and John had kissed. As he'd smiled, he'd looked at her as if he didn't want her to leave. He'd been acting strangely lately, and it hadn't hit her till now. He seemed really worried about her, and she wondered why. Suddenly, she gasped. “That's it!” she thought to herself. “He's afraid something's gonna happen to me, and he wants to keep me close to him so I'll be safe.” She sighed. “Oh, John, you don't have to worry.” she said, thinking aloud. At that moment, she heard tires screech in front of her and saw two cars collide with one another. As one of the cars left the scene, she gasped. “Oh, my.” she said as she stepped out of her car and rushed toward the accident. “Are you ok?” she asked the remaining car's occupants, a young man and woman. They nodded. “The person that hit us just sped off.” the young man told her. Marlena nodded. "I saw." she told him, frowning as she glanced in the direction that the other car had gone. “My name's Marlena Evans.” she said after a few minutes. “Do you need a ride to the hospital?” The man nodded again as she extended a hand to help them out of the car. The young man unbuckled his seatbelt and took it quickly. When he was safely on the ground, Marlena extended her hand to the young woman, but she shook her head. “Eva doesn't do well with strangers.” the man told Marlena, who shot him a confused glance. “They scare her.” She nodded. “It's ok, Eva.” she coaxed gently. “I won't hurt you.” Eva smiled, slid over to the driver's side, and took Marlena's hand. She helped her down and began leading them the few feet back to her car. “Don't worry about your car.” she told them as they reached it. “I'll call a tow track for you.” “Thanks, Miss Evans.” the man said with a smile. She returned it before she said, “Oh, please, call me Marlena.” The man nodded. “Ok, Marlena.” he said with a chuckle as she opened the back door of the car. “What's your name?” she asked him as he and Eva climbed in. “Oh, I'm Tito.” he answered as he comforted Eva, who was whimpering a little. “It's ok, Eva.” Marlena said gently as she closed their door and headed back to the driver's seat. She climbed in, and they all buckled up quickly. Before starting the engine, she pulled her cell phone out of her suit and began to dial. “Moe's Tows.” she heard a male voice say after a few minutes. “Yes, hi. This is Dr. Marlena Evans, and I need a tow truck sent to Sun Hill Drive ASAP.” she said. “Is the car totaled, or should we have our mechanics look at it when we get it here?” asked the male voice. Marlena glanced back at the car before she replied, It's salvageable.” “We'll be over soon, Dr. Evans.” the male voice assured her. “Go on about your day. We'll find it.” “Ok, can do.” Marlena said as she hung up. After taking a deep breath, she started the engine and headed to the hospital. “So, what brings you to sleepy little Salem?” she asked Tito. “Well, we're from a few towns over, and we were passing through.” he replied. Marlena nodded. Suddenly, she was overwhelmed by a terribly dark feeling. “John.” she whispered. She hoped Tito and Eva didn't mind a detour because she had to find him. Something didn't feel right.
