Metro Court
Tyler opened the door to his hotel room. Two masked men were waiting in the room. One chloroformed him and picked him up. The other man served as a look out as they made their way out of the hotel.
Metro Court Parking Lot
Lucky Spencer was the first cop on the scene. He arrived to see a rental car in flames. Witnesses reported hearing an explosion and then seeing the car burst into flames. Fire men were working to put out the flames.
Lucky looked around for his cousin, Carly.
Carly spotted him first. "Lucky," she yelled.
"Do you know who's rental car this is?" Lucky asked.
"I believe it's Tyler Scott's," Carly answered, "But let me double check with the valets."
"Do you have a way to get in touch with him?" Lucky asked, "If he's not in his room."
"I'll go check with the valets and then I'll go look for him," Carly said.
Several minutes later, the fire men had the fire under control and were putting out the last of the flames. Carly came out of the hotel and headed for Lucky.
"The car is Tyler Scott's, he's not in his room and he's not answering his phone. The card system lock on his door looks like someone tampered with it," Carly said, "Like they didn't have a key and messed with it to get in. I mentioned it to your partner. Forensics is working on the room."
Lucky signaled to a fireman. The fireman came over.
"Can you tell if there is anyone in that vehicle?" Lucky asked, "We can't locate the owner of the car."
"From where I was standing it doesn't look like anyone's in there," the fireman said, "But there's still a chance. Right now we have to wait for the car to cool off before we can look inside."
When the car was cool enough for the firemen to inspect, they checked the inside. Nothing. Then they checked the trunk and found a badly burned body. It was beyond recognition.

Several Hours Later
"What's the deal with the flaming car, Spencer?" Durant asked.
"We put a rush on all the forensics work, reports, and identification of the body," Lucky answered, "Dental records prove the victim is Tyler Scott."
"Corinthos's new attorney," Durant said, "Any idea on what caused the car to ignite in flames?"
"Remnants of an explosive device were founded," Lucky said, "It was connected to a tube of gunpowder. When whoever had the remote timing device pushed the button, the part connected to the car set off a spark which ignited the gunpowder which eventually ignited the gasoline tank. There was also DNA found all over the trunk that wasn't the victim's."
"Did you run it through the system?" Durant asked.
"The DNA belongs to Sonny Corinthos," Lucky said.
"Start questioning Corinthos," Durant said, "Get a search warrant and an arrest warrant."
"Already working on it," Lucky said.
Greystone
Lucky showed up with a small contingent of cops.
"You are under arrest for the murder of Tyler Scott," Lucky said, handcuffing Sonny. The majority of the cops began searching the house.
"My attorney's dead?" Sonny asked.
"Burnt to a crisp," Lucky said.
"Captain Spencer," One of the cops said, "You need to come take a look at this. I found it in the guesthouse."
Lucky motioned for two of the cops to stay with Sonny. He and the first cop went out to the guest house. In it, they found bomb making materials and quite a bit of gunpowder. There was also a remote timing device.
"Let's get a bomb squad here," Lucky said, "You guard the guest house." Lucky left the guest house and went back inside the main house.
"Let's read him his rights and take him down to the station," Lucky said.

"Do you want your phone call?" Durant asked Sonny as Lucky brought him in.
"I didn't do anything wrong," Sonny said, "I have nothing to worry about."
"We found materials for making a bomb similar to one we found on your attorney's car," Durant said, "That's enough evidence for us to convict you."
"Was the search warrant legal?" Sonny asked, "You have to have some other evidence or reason to get the warrant."
"Your DNA all over the trunk of the car where the body was found," Durant said, "Now if you don't want your phone call I suggest you go with Captain Spencer to be processed."
