Again I do not own GH or any of the characters.

Chapter 10

Park

Mac was shocked at what he had just heard. "Zacchara is dead?" At Dante's nod he continued. "Well, I hate to say it but maybe that's a good thing." He turned to one of the policemen taking photographs of the crime scene in the park. "Get a crew and follow detective Falconeri into the woods and get the coroner out here." He turned back to Dante. "Tell me what you think"

"I think Sonny got mad about Michael being in the accident and went after Anthony Zacchara. I think Anthony ran away from the warehouse into the park. I saw a lot of scarring on the trees as I was walking through. I imagine he fired on someone who was chasing him. We may find a couple more bodies closer to the warehouse."

"I figured as much. I want men searching the woods between the warehouse and the park. This mob war has gotten out of hand. I want you and Lucky on lead on this case. I need to know you can be impartial. If it turns out Sonny is behind this attack, I need to know that you are going to handle this like a detective. " Dante sighed and put his hands on his hips and looked directly at Mac. "I understand how you feel and I am not trying to insult you. I want this taken care of. This mob war ends now. I want convictions on this case. I'm heading to the hospital to check on Matt and Molly. You're in charge here. Stay in touch with Lucky. He's leading the investigation at the warehouse, got it?"

"Yes, sir" Dante replied. "They won't get away with this, Mac. It's time to end this. Anybody in this park could have been hit tonight. Any word on Matt?"

"He should be at GH by now. You're in charge here, Detective." With that Mac walked away.

Spinelli's PI Office

"You see, Stone Cold" Spinelli was explaining. "All the surveillance leads me to conclude that none other than the evil one himself was behind the accident that befelled the poor son of the Valkyrie and Mr. Sir."

"Alright Spinelli. I want you to keep this quiet. If Sonny finds out, there's going to be hell to pay and I need to be around to do damage control."

"As always, you are correct, Sir Stone Cold." Spinelli said pushing his chair back. "Alas, I must depart. I promised to take the fair Maximista to dinner at the Metro Court this evening. And I cannot be late."

"Spinelli, go. I am going to go to Sonny's and then I am picking Sam up from the park." Jason reached for his phone. "Damnit. Spinelli, do you have a charger in here?"

"But of course. I have one right…"Spinelli fumbled over his desk through the cords that were tangled together. "Right…right...Here!" Spinelli pulled the necessary cord out and attached it to Jason's cell phone. Jason immediately turned it on and saw that he had eight missed calls six from Milo and two from Sam. He immediately dialed his voicemail. Milo's voice came out at him. "Damnit"

"The news sounds most dire. Is there some way I might be of assistance?" Spinelli inquired.

Sam's voice could be heard over the speaker. "Jason? Jason. I need you to call me right away. There's been trouble in the park. There was some sort of attack. Molly was grazed in the arm and Matt Hunter was hit in the chest…It's pretty bad Jason. Jason do you know where Sonny is?"

Metro Court

Sonny sat at a table with Kate Howard. She was explaining something about Frederico and Crimson. "And Maxie forgot to call in to arrange the shoot and Frederico is just up in arms about how..."Sonny are you even listening to me?" Kate asked perplexed.

"Sorry, sorry. Go on." Sonny returned his attention back to Kate.

"What is going on with you? You've been distracted all night. You call me up out of the blue and somehow manage to get me to have dinner with you and it had to be at the Metro Court. You disappear on me for twenty minutes; leaving me here by myself,I might add. And now you are so distracted you aren't even paying attention to a word I say. So I ask again, what is going on with you?"

Sonny sighed and smiled at Kate. "Nothing is going on with me. Have I told you how beautiful you are when you act suspicious?" Dimples flashed as her drank from his wine glass.

"Are you forgetting who I am, Sonny? I know you. Better than anyone else I would imagine" Kate threw her napkin down one her plate. "If you can't be honest with me, then I have nothing to say to you. I want nothing to do with whatever has you looking at your phone every five minutes." She made to stand up when Sonny's hand flashed out and held onto her arm. His cell phone beeped on the table beside him. "That's what I thought." Kate pulled her arm free and stormed out of the restaurant.

Sonny sighed and picked up his phone. "Max….what…? Okay, okay, calm down….we'll call the doc in….no don't take him to GH….Damnit Max what is going on? I thought you had this handled…what do you mean the doc isn't answering….what?...fine I'll meet you there..Get your story straight before they ask you any questions. Call Diane tell her to meet me there...I'm on my way."

Zacchara Warehouse

Lucky walked around the warehouse looking at bullet marks and the spot on the door where it was kicked in. He noticed a blood trail by the side door. He followed it out the door stopping to tell the crime scene detective to get a sample. He followed the trail out to the docks. Towards the parking area. He noticed there were tire marks on the ground in several places where it appeared several vehicles had pulled out quickly. The blood trail ended near one. Lucky pulled out his phone and dialed Dante.

"Dante…yeah it's Lucky…I have a blood trail. It leads to some burnout marks in the parking area. Someone is hurt pretty bad…the closest place to go is GH. We need to put an alert out to GH and Mercy."

"Lucky, the victims from the park all went to GH. Are you telling me that someone who was involved into his fight could walk in there where we just sent Matt, Elizabeth, Molly, and Sam?"

"That's exactly what I am saying. This night could get a whole lot worse. I am going to finish up here and head over there to keep an eye out."

"Good. Good. I'll call GH and give them a heads up. You call Mac and let him know what's going on he's headed there now."

"You got it" Lucky hung up the phone and looked back down and the ground and then off in the direction the tracks led. Straight to GH.
