I'm Here...

Ok another GH fic ...This is set in the Night Shift Verse to a point(meaning Spinelli was shot and is crushing on Jolene and Jason is out of Jail) though it doesn't take place during the Night Shift...this is AU during and after 'Paternity Ward'...I don't own GH or Nightshift though I do own my OC Riley


A young girl of about 18 years old stood outside of the apartment of Jason Morgan late one Saturday evening. She reached for the door knob but drew back and took a deep breath.

'I shouldn't' she thought to herself, 'he probably doesn't want anything to do with me.'

This girl was Riley Dennison or should it be Riley Quartermaine...she wasn't quite sure.

Riley reached for the door a second time and managed to turn the knob.

"Locked," she muttered to herself before taking a hairpin out of her hair and proceeded in picking the lock.

'I can't believe I'm doing this,' she thought, 'I'm breaking into Jason Morgan's penthouse.'

Meanwhile on the other side of town Damian Spinelli was a man on a mission. He wanted to impress his Angel of Mercy, Nurse Jolene Crowell. He walked into the busy ER along with former crush Lulu Spencer.

"Why did I have to come with you again," Lulu asked, "and don't make up some excuse that you wanted to keep me away from Logan..."

"The Jackal is over the fact that the Blonde One is friends with the Crabby Commando," Spinelli said, "I just wanted to hang out with a friend."

"This is your idea of fun," Lulu said, "I guess that's why you didn't have many friends back in Tennessee."

Spinelli made a face, he loved the Blonde to death but lately she had become a royal bitch to him. Then he spotted her and remembered the reason he was there again.

"Ahh Mr. Jackal," said the young nurse turning around and smiling at him, "back so soon."

"Yea," Spinelli said trying to act cool, "say Jolene I'd like to introduce you to my girlfriend Lulu."

Lulu rolled her eyes as she looked at the other blonde and realized the REAL reason Spinelli wanted her...payback.

Riley finally got inside and stood frozen.

'No alarm,' Riley thought, 'no one running to interrogate me.'

She decided to make herself at home by looking for a place to crash. The first place her eyes spotted was the couch however she much rather preferred a bed. As she walked up the stairs she peaked into the first room she saw and looked around. The walls of the room were painted pink however beyond that there was nothing girly about it. The room looked like it was being lived in but there was no one in site. Riley assumed the room belonged to her uncle's roommate or a cousin she didn't know she had. Since no one was there she decided to temporarily take refuge in the Pink Room...at least till morning.

A few hours had passed as Spinelli got out of a cab in front of Harberview Towers. He had mixed feelings about the evening. He was rejected by his Angel of Mercy when she declined his invite to the Tec convention, she didn't want to steal another girls boyfriend she told him. However after telling him the Blonde One was just a friend who was a girl she still said no. Though she had remembered his favorite food (he still clutched the empty chip bag) she immediately asked about Stone Cold.

He hobbled into the apartment on his crutches and immediately felt that something wasn't right. He knew Stone Cold would be at the hospital for a few more hours and thought that injury or not the Jackal would take matters in his own hands.

"Hello," Spinelli said as he began to maneuver his way up the stairs, "if anyone is here be warned..."

Riley was now lying down in bed listing to her music and trying to fall asleep which do the adrenaline rush from breaking and entering was making the task impossible. She had suddenly heard sounds of foot steps getting closer and she pulled out her headphones.

"You have infiltrated the layer of Stone Cold," Spinelli was saying, "prepare to be in a world of hurt."

Riley heard that and abruptly sat up.

Spinelli then heard the noise coming from his regrettably pink room and threw open the door to a site he never expected to see.

Riley looked at the figure in the doorway of a young man about her age, maybe a year or two older staring back at her. He was leaning on crutches and she noticed he had a cast on his leg.

'I wonder what happened,' she thought realizing that this must be his room.

"Who are you and what are you doing in the layer of Stone Cold," Spinelli said, "and more importantly why are you in the Jackal's bed."

TBC...

I know it was brief and rough around the edges but I hope to continue...I'm thinking it will be SpinJo eventually with a Riley/Spin friendship (and possibly a Riley/Milo shipping in time)...ideas and comments loved
