After making sure Sam was ok and comfortable, Carly went to answer her office door. On the other side was her body guard Max and he was looking nervous.

"Max what's wrong?" Carly questioned after seeing the look in his eyes.

"She's here Mrs. C. and she's looking for Jason."Max replied.

Carly knew exactly who he was referring to and was pissed. "Damn it. Where is Jason now?"

"He went into the bathroom so that he can avoid her. I told him I would tell him when the coast is clear."

"Umm...Ok...Could you just give me a minute?"Carly asked him.

"Yeah, sure, take your time."

Carly shut the door and walked over to Sam, who was starting to calm down.

"Sam I understand that you have some issues with men right now, but will you let my friend hide in here for a little while?"

"I don't know Carly..."Sam said before she was interrupted by Carly.

"Hey I promise you that he really sweet, but if he tries to pull anything you let me know and I will personally kick his ass...Ok?" This made Sam smile and she hesitantly nodded her head in approval.

Carly walked back over to the door and stepped out with Max.

"Go get Jason and discreetly bring him to my office. Tell him that I will deal with that bitch if he will stay with Sam."

"Sure thing Mrs. C. but what if he asks who Sam is?"

"Tell him that I will explain everything. I'll be here when you bring him." With that Carly walked back into her office and smiled to herself when she noticed Sam curled up on the couch fast asleep.

Carly was just about to go look for Max and Jason when there was a knock at the door and Jason walked in.

The minute he walked in the door he froze. There fast asleep on Carly's couch was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She had long, dark brown hair and from what he could see, an amazing body. Jason shook the thought out of his head and looked at Carly.

"Who's that?"Jason questioned

"Her name is Sam McCall. She is new in town and has gone through a lot in the past couple years...What I can tell you is that she is kind of hesitant around men so I promised that if you tried anything that I would personally kick your ass."

That is when she changed positions and he noticed her tear streaked face. His heart immediately went out to her even though he didn't know her.

"Earth to Jason...Hey snap out of it!" Carly brought Jason back to reality and then told him she was going to go out and find that whore and kick her out of the club... after giving her a piece of her mind that is.

After Carly left the room, Jason settled himself in the chair across from Sam. He watched her for a while and couldn't help but feel something inside of him. He couldn't explain it but he knew that he wanted to get to know her.

He then noticed that her hand rested on her stomach. He thought nothing of it and just found himself studying her face.

--



Carly spotted her from across the room. She was sitting at the bar having a drink and looking around for any sign of Jason.

Before she knew it Carly was standing in her line of view.

"You know Lizzie; I already kicked your ex out of here earlier for harassment. Do I now need to kick you out for stalking?"

"Carly this has nothing to do with you so just leave me alone."

"The hell it has nothing to do with me. You come into MY club in search of MY best friend who clearly wants nothing to do with you."

--

Jason continues to watch Sam until she starts to toss and turn on the couch. She starts to get a look of pure fear on her face and Jason is worried. He remembers Carly's warning so he decides that calling her name would be the best way to wake her.

"Sam...Sam wake up." Jason calls in a gentle voice.

What he didn't expect was Sam to jump with a start looking terrified and panicked. She starts to cry all over again and Jason feels the urge to comfort her. Without thinking he wraps his arms around her small frame and whispers soothing words in her ear.

Sam had been dreaming about that night when she heard a gentle voice calling her name. Before she knew it, she was sitting upright and starting to cry all over again. Then she felt a pair of arms around her. At first she tensed but then relaxed when she heard him trying to soothe her.

After a couple of minutes Sam calmed down enough to look at him.

"Sorry about that...My name is Sam"

"It's fine really...My name is Jason...Jason Morgan."

"It's nice to meet you...And thank you for that."

"Not a problem...are you ok?"

Before she could answer, Max came rushing through the door.

"Mr. Morgan...I think...Mrs. C...needs some assistance."Max said while trying to catch his breath.

"What is going on Max?"Jason replied now worried about his friend.

"She and Elizabeth Webber are fighting and it is starting to get physical"

Even though Jason knew that Carly could kick Liz's ass, he also knew that he should stop Carly before she does something she might regret. Jason then turns his attention Sam...He would need Max but he didn't want to leave Sam alone.

"Do you feel up to coming out into the club with me? Carly got into a fight and I need to break it up. Max can sit with you at the bar until it settles."

"Umm...OK" Sam wiped the tears from her eyes and checked herself in the mirror before she stood and walked out of the office with Jason.
