Broken Trust chapter 10

Sam didn't know what to do next. She closed her front door behind her and gave the damage a once over again. It was bad, she wondered if it could get worse. Death was worse right? She needed to fix this. Sam went over and sat on her sofa and pulled out her cell phone. He answered on the three ring. "Took you long enough. We have a problem."

"I don't like you used the word 'we' what happened Sam?" He asked, it was just minutes ago he warned her. What could've happened in such a short amount of time, Jimmy wondered.

"Ok the package he wanted to take care of. The rest I was suppose to send out tonight? It's gone. I messed up, someone did know where I lived and now I'm screwed." Sam explained. Now the worry was settling into her veins. All the possibilities drew a cold shiver through her skin. It happened too soon, she lost control too soon.

"Oh Sam. Yeah you screwed up. What now?"

"What now?! That's what you're suppose to tell me. What do I do so he doesn't kill me on site?" Sam asked. If she didn't fix this, she should just kill herself. He wouldn't be happy, this package being taken would cost him millions in profit.

"You're a smart girl. You have till tonight, try and figure out what happened and get the package back before the shit hit's the fan. that's all I can tell you Sammy, I'll cover with the boss as long as I can, you have till tonight." Jimmy hung up the phone.

Sam threw down her cell phone with a loud groan. Her hands were beginning to shake as her mind began to race. This was the absolutely last thing she needed to happen. She realized quickly she needed help. There was only one person in the world she trusted enough, only one person that could actually help her. It wasn't the best plan, she had no right asking him for help. He would know that she had been lying all this time.

"It just gets worse." Sam snapped at her self as she left the damaged apartment again.

Jason looked around the empty penthouse. Courtney was gone. He asked for divorce and she didn't really seem to care.

"I knew this would happen Jason, I'm not surprised." Courtney said with a blank expression. "I don't blame you for pulling out. I pulled out months ago, we weren't happy. I want to end this easy, no fighting. But I have to know one thing, does this have anything to with Sam?" she crossed her arms and waited for the answer.

"I don't know." Jason admitted. "It's like you said, we weren't happy. I brought up divorce now because it seemed right, not because Sam's in town." he explained and it was the truth. He had no idea what was going on with Sam. He told her last night that loved her. Then all of a sudden he had this needed urge to leave. And he did, he told Sam there was something he needed to go and he walked away.

Courtney nodded. "I'll leave, this is your home. I had a feeling this was coming, I found a new apartment not too far from my office. I hope you find happiness Jason." she walked away.

It was easier then Jason thought it would be, it was sad, but it was the right thing for them. The silence surround him and this thoughts now. He needed work, something to keep him busy. He left the living room and head for the front door. Opening just as Sam was about to knock. "Hey." he softly said to her.

"Can I come in?"

Jason knew something was wrong. Sam was looking everywhere but at him, she seemed jumpy. He moved a side and let her in, his eyes never leaving her. Something was differently wrong. She was tense, not her same smooth walk, her hands were shaking, whatever it was, it was serious.

"I need your help." Sam blurted out. She decide why beat around the bush, she didn't have time ease into the conversation.

Jason knew that much. "What's going on?" He asked.

"Ok." Sam turned around and faced him. "Don't say anything till I'm done. I know this will piss you off but remember I need you. I lied, I am here on business. But not the business I'm normally in. I'm in over my head. Dominick Walker asked me to take care of something for him. I needed the money so I said yes. I said yes knowing it would be bad. I came back to Port Charles with two packages, I was told hold on to the packages till I was called to send them out. They both go to different addresses. It had to be discreet and not traced. I had no package left and someone broke in to my apartment and took it. Now if Dominick finds this out, he will kill me." she explained, never looking at Jason.

"I knew you where working something. I just didn't think you would go into business with a guy like Dominick Walker." Jason tried to keep his anger at bay but it wasn't working. "What was in the packages Sam?" he carefully asked.

Sam winced at his cold tone. It was went he was calm and silent that Jason was at his dangerous. "Does that really matter?" she asked because there was a good chance he already knew. He knew Walker's name, he should know his business.

"Sam--"

"Cocaine." Because of that and the millions it cost, she could die.

"We never tried to be on the right side of the law but we always had a line we never crossed. Never drugs Sam, we always agreed to never deal in drugs. Why did you cross that line?" Jason asked.

It hurt Sam to see the pain and disappointment in his eyes. "I needed the money and Walker was the only one offering me a job." she explained.

"Why did you need money so bad? Why was it so bad that you didn't come to me?" Jason asked.

Sam hated the disappointment she saw in his eyes. She never wanted it to turn out this way, it was suppose to be easy. Two years ago everything became anything but easy. It was hard, so hard. Now the only person she had left thinks different of her, low of her. "I couldn't tell you. I still can't I just need you to help me find who broke into my apartment." she explained. She couldn't tell him everything.

"Sam you have to tell me everything." Jason said.

It was the last thing she wanted. She felt her eyes begin to tear because she knew what had to happen. "Jason--"

Jason pulled Sam closer by her arm and planted a hard kiss on her lips. He cupped his hand at the nape of her neck and stared into her eyes. "Just tell me what happened."

Sam kissed him this time, the kiss lasting longer. Neither of them wanting to let go but she did. "I did that because after I tell you everything, you'll never want to see me again."
