I told you it wouldn't be long before you got the next part of the story!

From Winn-ing! - Part 1:

"Your client is in deep shit. Winslow Schott, you are under arrest for the murder of Chester Dunholtz. You have the right to remain silent…"

As the detective reeled off the Miranda rights, Winn's head was in a spin. This couldn't be happening. He'd tried so hard to be different from his father. How could he be arrested for murder?

The uniformed officer put handcuffs on him.

"Don't worry, Winn." Marni told him. "We'll get you out on bail in the morning."

Part 2

Chapter 1

At their apartment, Sam was worried. Soon after the police took Winn for questioning, Kara and Alex had arrived.

"Maggie's still at work." Alex said. "But she's going to let us know anything that she finds out."

Kara immediately went to hug Sam. "Alex called me. This can't be happening. There is no way Winn could kill anyone."

"I know. But I'm scared anyway." Sam said.

They sat with her and waited to hear from Maggie or Marni. When the call finally came, it wasn't good news.

"He's been arrested." Marni said when Sam put the phone on speaker.

"No! How…why?"

"Other than circumstantial evidence, I'm not sure what they have. I'll find out, but it won't be tonight. There'll be a bail hearing tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? But what happens tonight?"

"He has to stay in jail. Nothing we can do about that."

"He can't be in jail! He'll hate that!"

"I know, sweetie, but there's nothing we can do. I'll text you the time for the hearing if you want to be there."

"Of course I want to be there."

"We all do." Kara said.

"Okay, well, I need to get home and try to get a few hours sleep. You try to get some rest too."

"Yeah, that'll happen." Sam said as she ended the call.

At eight am the next morning, Sam, Kara and Alex were waiting at the courthouse for Marni. She arrived, dressed in her lawyer suit and they entered. They went to the front row and waited for the judge to arrive.

Once he did, they had to wait until Winn's case came up. The Assistant District Attorney stood there while various lawyers negotiated bail for their clients.

At last, the bailiff announced, "The people versus Winslow Schott, Junior."

The guard brought him in dressed in an orange jumpsuit. Sam felt her stomach drop when she saw that.

The prosecutor began, "Mr. Schott is accused of killing Chester Dunholtz, a man he'd threatened previously in front of witnesses."

Marni spoke. "Your honor, there is nothing but circumstantial evidence against my client. He had an argument with Mr. Dunholtz, he did not threaten him. Mr. Schott is an upstanding member of society with no previous criminal record who has assisted in this city's welfare on numerous occasions."

The judge looked at the evidence noted on the papers in front of him. "Looks like enough here to go to trial. Where are we on bail?"

The Assistant DA spoke again. "The people recommend no bail."

"Your honor!" Marni was incensed. "What is the reason for that?"

"Mr. Schott is a flight risk." The assistant DA said.

"He will be happy to surrender his passport, but he won't leave National City. He has strong roots here, including a pregnant wife."

"You honor," the prosecutor said, "Mr. Schott has a connection to Supergirl. She could take him out of National City without the need of a passport."

"Is Mr. Connor insinuating that Supergirl would break the law?"

"Yes, I am. She's broken, or at least bent the law in the past when it served her agenda. Granted, it is usually for the greater good, however, if he's her acquaintance, there is a chance she could use her powers for an illegal purpose."

The judge addressed Marni. "Ms Gallo, your opponent has a point. When Supergirl is part of the equation, everything changes."

"But your honor…"

"I'm sorry, bail is denied."

Sam let out a little cry, then covered her mouth. Winn turned around and looked at her.

"The defendant will be held in the National City prison until the trial."

"May I speak to my client before he's taken there?" Marni asked.

"Yes. Guard, take him to a conference room, but don't leave."

The guard nodded and took Winn out.

Marni started to follow, but Sam grabbed her arm. "I want to talk to him too."

Marni nodded. "Wait outside. I'll come and get you." She ran after Winn and the guard.

Sam left the courtroom with Kara and Alex.

Alex was angry. "I can't believe they'd think that Supergirl would help Winn escape."

Sam looked at Kara, who pulled them away from any people. With eyes down, she said, "The thing is, I think she would."

"Kara…" Alex began.

"No, not now. But should he get convicted, she'd make sure he didn't go to jail."

"He's not going to be convicted!" Sam said.

"I hope not. But I won't see my best friend in prison. He's going to be a dad! He needs to be with you and his child."

Marni came out at that moment. "Come on, Sam, you only have a few minutes with him.

Sam followed her to the conference room. Winn was sitting at the table, but he rose when he saw her. She ran to him and enfolded him in her arms. He couldn't put his arms around her because of the handcuffs, but he put his head on her shoulder.

"I'm so sorry, honey." He said.

"You didn't do anything wrong."

"I went to see Dunholtz. If I hadn't…"

"Nothing we can do about that now. We just have to get you freed."

He pulled back and looked at her. "Supergirl will not be helping me escape. Make sure of that."

"She might disagree."

"I won't go if she tries. She's not breaking the law for me."

"Understood."

He looked at her and said, "You take care of yourself and our kid. That's more important than worrying about me."

"I can do both. I'm skilled that way."

He smiled and kissed her, just as the guard said, "Time to go."

As he left, Winn said to Marni, "Take care of her."

"You know it, buddy."

He turned and the guard led him away.

Marni and Sam left the room and met Kara and Alex outside.

"Is he okay?" Kara asked.

Sam nodded. "Yes—for now. Oh, and he wanted to be sure Supergirl understands that she is not to help him escape."

Kara stared at her.

"He doesn't want her doing anything illegal and he won't go if she tries. Be sure to tell her that."

Kara did not look happy, but she nodded.

"Let's get you home." Marni said to Sam. "You need to rest."

"I won't rest until my husband comes home."

I'm sorry for keeping Winn in jail. I guess I have been watching too many You Tube videos of Jeremy Jordan in Bonnie and Clyde and Parade! If you haven't seen them, I highly advise you to check them out.

I also want to address the idea of Supergirl helping him escape. As much as I enjoy superhero movies and TV shows, I don't think I'd want them in real life. I don't believe that anyone with that much power wouldn't use it for their own benefit. Kara has done it in the show, usually to help people. but what's to stop them from eventually saying, the heck with this, I'm going to make my life better. Anyone agree or disagree? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!
