Summary: Jason, Sonny, and Carly decided unanimously to cover up the fact that Michael killed Claudia.

The PCPD in particular, Lucky wants to finally pin something on Jason and does something drastic and

takes Sam as the prime suspect. Will Jason sacrifice Sam's freedom for Michael's?


Sam went to Jason's penthouse emotionally distraught. Johnny had kept asking her questions regarding

Claudia's death and she felt so guilty for lying to him. Johnny loved his sister so much and was obviously

grieving and prompted pity for him. Johnny shouldn't be in pain and grief over his vindictive and heinous

sister. Claudia was a horrible person, the exact opposite to her brother. Johnny was a geniunely good

person and Claudia didn't deserve his grief. With all of this distressing news on her mind she to talk

to somebody and that's how she ended up at Jason's.


Jason opened the door looking as distraught as Jason looked. Sam walked in silently and Jason closed

the door after her. There were in silence contemplating their difficulties. Finally Sam was the one to break

the silence.

"What happened?" Jason sighed as the emotions he was feeling about Michael's resurfaced.

"I feel like.." he paused."That I failed Michael." Sam didn't let him continue, instead she put her arms

around him and hugged him for comfort. They sat down on the couch and Jason laid on Sam's lap.

"I tried so hard to be a good father to Michael when he was a baby, but all I did was introduce him to a

life full of violence."

"Maybe if I left the mob when I was taking care of him, he might have not turned out like this!"

Sam suddenly got very irate, because Jason was blaming himself for everything that had gone wrong

in Michael's life, when Sonny and Carly played a part too.

"You know what, STOP IT!" Jason sat up from her lap confused by her outburst."You can't blame yourself

for everything that's gone wrong with Michael's life and don't ever doubt yourself as being a good father

or person. I saw how you were with Hope and you were terrific it's one of the many reasons that I love you."

Sam stopped herself realizing what she just said.

"You just said---"

"I know." Sam interrupted.

"Did you really---" There was a knock at the door.

"PCPD! Open the door!" Jason gave Sam an apologetic glance and went to open the door. Jason opened

the door expecting to be arrested but was suprised when Lucky and the policemen marched over to Sam and

arrested her.

"Sam Mccall you are under arrest for the murder of Claudia Zaccahara." Lucky said as he put handcuffs on her.

Sam looked at Jason in disbelief
