The Power of Love

I don't own Days or any of its characters. This story is based in the 80's after Mickey and Maggie married in a double wedding with their daughter and Pete. Hope you enjoy.

"Maggie" Mickey yelled.

"What Mickey?" Maggie answered, while rushing down the stairs.

"I just got a phone call from Roman I need to go down to the Police Department. I be back in a little while. I'll call you later. Love you Red!" Mickey said before kissing Maggie then rushing out of the house.

"Okay, Love you too." Maggie said hoping nothing was wrong.

At the Police Department

"Roman I got you call why do you need me?" Mickey asked confused.

"Mickey we have got a report of a murder a the river some of my deputies were on patrol and seen something floating in the river. A man." Roman said as the shock came across Mickey's face.

"Who was it? And this is probably a dumb question but is he dead?" Mickey asked.

"Yes he is dead. And Mickey it was Pete."

"Pete! What do you mean it was Pete? I just saw him a few hours ago."

"I know Mickey but I have no clue of why he was murdered. And I am not even a 100% sure he was but I am hoping it wasn't suicide and I really don't think it was an accident." Roman explained.

Mickey was scared that if he was murdered Melissa could possibly be next. But at this point all he could do is wonder how he was going to tell Melissa.

6 Hours Later

"Mickey, Where have you been?" Maggie says just before Mickey kisses her.

"Maggie we have to talk. Has Melissa called here?"

"Yea about an hour ago looking for Pete. Why have you seen him?" She asked.

"I have been a the Police Department. And yes I know where Pete is. I really don't know how to say this but Maggie..." Mickey said while trying to find the right words to break the news.

"What Mickey?"

"Maggie, the police found Pete in the river...Dead." Mickey said as he saw the tears come to Maggie's eyes.

"How? Why? When?" Maggie asked tearfully.

"Maggie all the police know is what I just told you. But Roman does think he was possibly murdered."

"But wait Mickey how are we going to tell Melissa?"

"I don't know but it late and Roman called her and told her they found Pete and he was alright and he was going to stay there tonight so we will go over and tell her in the morning." Mickey said as they went upstairs to go to bed.

Neither one could imagine how they were going to tell Melissa.
