Special thanks to Sam Spade...

Ch.3 A Night To Remember

The next morning at work Sam couldn't help, but to stare at Martin out of the corner of her eye. Sam turns her chair to the right and stares at him directly. She knows this will make him nervous, and will hope that he will say something to her about it.

Martin feels Sam's eyes on him, but he doesn't look at her until Sam decides to slide her chair over to his desk.

Sam and Martin stay silent until Martin says, " Are you feeling any better today?"

"What about, the Marissa Boet case or the hangover from last night?" Sam smiles.

"Both actually" Martin grabs Sam's hand from under the table so their coworkers couldn't see there hands Entwined together.

"Well I still feel incredibly terrible about what had happened to that little girl, but everything happens for a reason.... I just don't understand what the reason for taking this young girls life is" Sam says confused and sad sounding. "Who could do something like that Martin?"

" I don't know... Maybe somebody who is cruel and cold hearted... I mean she was just a child and she died a very painful and horrific way, but we have to learn to deal and put away this pain Sam." Martin points out to Sam, as he can't take his eyes off of hers just to ensure that he is here to help and support her.

Sam nods her head "Yeah"

" I'm glad I have you in my life Martin... You are a great person, loving, caring, sexy as hell." Sam says smiling and letting out a soft laugh.

Martin Smiles back "thanks Sam, and to let you know you aren't so bad yourself."

"Martin come get some coffee with me."

"But we already have some." Martin says confused and curious.

"Just come on Martin."

Martin follows Sam to the Break room to grab some coffee.

"Martin" Sam says as she shuts the door behind him.

"Yeah, Sam"

"I have been hiding something," Sam says as she feels like her head is about to explode.

"What is it?" Martin says confused and concerned, and wondering if this will be good news or bad news.

" I...I..um. I don't know how to say this to you. Sam says as she puts her right hand up to her head as a headache is on the verge "I have feelings for you Martin" Sam says relieved that its finally off her chest.

"I have feelings for you too. I just didn't admit it to you, because I don't take to well to rejection, and I have always thought you were the most gorgeous women I ever met, even from the first day I met you. I have always wanted to be with you." Martin lets out a slow half smile.

Sam takes two steps closer to Martin and smiles. He can feel the heat coming off of her body and on to his. He is starting to get hot.

"Thank you for being here for me Martin. You are the only one that has kept their promise to me." "Thank you for the support that I needed to get through that hard day last night."

"I did nothing Sam all I did was take you out to get drunk." Martin laughs

"You did more than that," Sam says as she leans in and places her silky lips onto his luscious wet lips. Sam places her right hand up to rub his cheek with the back of her right hand.

Martin and Sam pull apart. As their taste still stays in each other's mouth.

"I'll see you tonight Martin" Sam says as she walks away and opens the door walking out and Smiling. With Martin staring at her until her can't see her any more.

(Phone Rings) once, twice, three times

"Spade"

"Hey its me"

"Hey"

"I was wondering if I could be a little early tonight"

"Sure thats no problem, but I will be in the shower so when you get here just come on in. I will leave the door unlocked for you." Sam announces to him

"Ok great"

"Great"

"So I'll see you soon?"

"Okay, bye Sam"

"Bye Martin"

Sam sets her gun and badge on the night side as she
walks into her bathroom and turns on the steamy, hot, comforting water she hears a sound. She ignores it thinking that its a sound from outside or a cat knocking something over. Sam steps into the shower letting the water run down her body to wash away her stress and tention. Sam starts to lather shampoo in her hand ready to put it in her hair. Until She hears the sound again, but this time it sounded like it was very close or outside her bathroom door. Sam grabs a towel to dry herself off. Sam was getting paronoid.. Sam slips on her white cotton robe as she walks out of her bathroom.

As she does this an intruder walks through her bedroom, and then grabbing her gun off of her night stand

Sam walks into her bedroom. "Martin? Is that you?"

The intruder stands behind her, she has no idea. The intruder sticks her gun into her back as he puts his arm around her neck to put her into a headlock.

Sam Freezes unable to move her body.

"Get on the bed and take off your robe! He yells

"No!.. Wait a second aren't you the guy from the bar?"

"You don't ask me questions. One thing I will tell you though is that I thought Marissa was great." As he laughs an evil laugh out loud.

Sams eyes open wide in shock."It was you?" Sam get so up set that she throws a elbow into the mans chest and kicks the gun out of his hand. As Sam goes to grab the gun the intruder grabs a lamp off of her nightstand and smashes it over her head, before she has the chance to lean back up.

Sam is knocked uncconsious on the floor with blood pouring out of her ear and top of her head.

"You stupid Bitch" The man yells as he rubs his chest

The man runs out planning on coming back later after he figures out how to dispose of the body..

(Door slams shut)

"Oh my god, my head" Sam says only being able to lean up a little bit..

3 minutes Later

(Door Shuts)

"Sam! Are you ready yet?" Martin says without a clue

"Martin help!" Sam yells from the bedroom

Martin runs in to the bedroom.

"Oh my god Sam... W-What happend to you? Who did this?"

"Iam fine" Sam says as she struggles to sit up.

Martin leans down to help her sit up as he rubs her head and looks at her ear..

"Here Sam let's get that cleaned off" Martin says as him and Sam walk off to the bathroom..
