CHAPTER ONE

Mac knew coming here and asking for a favor of them was not necessarily a good idea but he had no choice. They were railroading his niece and she wasn't guilty of murdering her so called boyfriend. Robin didn't do it but the police had decided she was guilty and they weren't looking for anyone else. They had their suspect and that was that as far as the police in France were concerned. So here he was at Harbor View Towers about to ask Sonny and Jason a favor. To hide his niece when she got out of France, and into hiding until Frisco Jones, Sean Donnelly, a couple other agents who Sean and Frisco wouldn't tell him who they were just that they were the best that the WSB had. The four of them were searching for who really killed Dorian Matthews. Frisco called him and told him that they needed Robin out of France now and hidden until they found out who murdered Dorian Matthews and they would find out. They had some leads but the police was going to arrest Robin soon and they didn't want her in France when the police came. The WSB found a payoff to the Judge that would hear Robin's case and to the Commissioner of Police and figured it was for Robin's arrest and maybe worse her murder. As long as Robin was alive she might be able to prove she didn't kill him. Dorian Matthews told her something that would hurt whoever did kill him. So getting her out of France and into the United States in hiding was imperative, they needed it done now. So here Mac was in the elevator going to the top floor to where the penthouses were. He needed to ask Jason and Sonny to hide her where no one could get to her. He was asking them to harbor a fugitive from France but that wasn't the reason they might say no. The past and what happened in the past might though. He hoped not, he really needed their help.

Mac gets off the elevator and Johnny O'Brien is there and Mac tells Johnny he needs to see Sonny and Jason both and it was important and not police business which Johnny was intrigued with so he decided to get Sonny into Jason's penthouse. Johnny knocked on Sonny's door and Sonny comes to the door and sees Mac. "I'm calling my lawyer-"

"It's not police business I need to talk to you about. I need to talk to you and Jason immediately without anyone knowing what this is about. Please, Sonny this is important." Mac said urgently.

Sonny walks out the door and walks over to Jason's and opens the door and invites Mac in and Sonny yells for Jason. Jason comes down the stairs and sees Mac and Sonny quickly says "It's not police business that brought Mac here. I don't know what did but it is important and we need to listen to him so come down here. Is there anyone else here?"

"No, just me. Who else would be here?" Jason asked, confused.

"A woman maybe is what Sonny was thinking and so was I." Mac asked. "I know you are involved with Elizabeth Webber."

"She's my friend and that is all she is." Jason said irritated that he had to explain that to people all the time.

"Fine, that makes this easier. Robin is going to be arrested for murder soon. She did not murder anyone but the French police has decided she is guilty and they are not looking for anyone else. They have Robin and that's who they intend to put in prison. I don't know how but it has been arranged for her to leave France and get here to Port Charles. I need you two to hide her from the French Police and everyone else. I have to ask this because they will come here looking for her and they will approach her friends and family first. You two and Robin haven't talked that I know of for two years and I'm sorry I have to ask you to hide her but if you don't she is looking at time in prison and the WSB thinks if she is arrested they will kill her. She either knows something or suspects something and she has told Frisco Jones and Sean Donnelly whatever it is and them and two other agents are trying to prove she is not guilty of murder but they are close to arresting her and we need a safe place to hide her here in the United States and where the police wouldn't look. Will you help Robin or not?"

Jason looks at Sonny and they both say "Yes."

Jason says. "We'll help keep her safe and the only people allowed in these penthouses are legitimate business associates, Carly and a few other people, we can hide her here for now and if the French Police decides to come here they won't find her."

"Do you have a place to hide her, a secret room?" Mac asked.

"Mac, you don't really expect Jason to answer that if he does have one?"

"Yes, I do I am not asking as police commissioner I am asking as an uncle who doesn't want his niece found and put in prison. You two will be harboring a fugitive and that is my niece, and I need to know she will be safe here and she will have a way out if the police come here."

"Yes, there is. I promise to keep her safe."

Just then Mac's secret phone rings. He immediately picks it up and asks "Robin?"

"Yes, where am I staying? I need to get off the street." Robin says.

"Come to the penthouse 2 in Harbor View Towers, can you get here without anyone seeing you enter?"

"Yes, how could you think this is a good idea, I will be there shortly."

"She's on her way here she'll be here soon and she said no one would see her come in. I don't know what that means or how she will accomplish that."

The doors opens several minutes later to an enraged Carly. "There is a hooker in the hallway and she said you called her Jason and what is Mac doing here? How can you bring a hooker here where Michael sleeps, are you that hard up?"

"Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Jason asks Sonny.

"Yes. Let's get her in here." Sonny says.

"If you bring that hooker in here I am divorcing you." Carly said.

"You may anyway but that woman out there is not a hooker. You will find out pretty soon who she is, but she is no hooker she is just pretending to be one."

Jason opens the door and looks and he wouldn't have been able to tell that it was Robin if he wasn't looking for her in the person standing before him. "Get in here."

Robin walks in and Carly is angry. "Jason, how could you let that hooker in here? I want her out of here immediately or I am taking Michael and we will be staying at the Brownstone."

"She's not a hooker, she's Robin."

"No, she isn't. Saint Robin would not be caught dead dressed like that. Although she should dress like that."

"Carly, shut up. I am no one's saint, I am not a saint at all."

"That's Robin's voice but I can't believe she would be dressed like that. What is going on?" Carly asked.

"I will tell you but you can't say anything including that you have seen me to anyone Carly, unless you want me dead."

"Why? I hate you Robin but I don't want you dead." Carly said confused about what is going on.

"That's good to know. Carly, I can't be fighting with you every day I am here so let's bury the hatchet because our fighting could cost me dearly. I am a suspect in a murder investigation in France, the WSB arranged for me to look like this so if I saw anyone they would probably not recognize me. I was framed for murdering a patient. He had some information that people didn't want made public and they knew he told me so they set it up to look like he was my boyfriend and that I killed him because he didn't want the baby I was carrying. I'm pregnant that's why we can't fight Carly because with the HIV and the pregnancy I could miscarry easily so please no fighting I love this baby and want this baby more than anything." Robin pleads with Carly.

"Who is the father, Robin?" Mac asked, "And when were you going to tell me?"
