Maxie had fallen asleep after two hours of bawling her eyes out. She explained that it had started as an argument with Spinelli about him always being busy with mob work for Jason. Spinelli fired back that she was only invested in her job and she didn't really care about him that Maxie was using him for daily compliments. One thing led to another and they broke up, Maxie left angry, devastated and with the gripping urge to hurt Spinelli. She went to the hospital to talk with Robin but she wasn't there. Matt approached her at the Nurses station and the rest is history.

"They were all right, I'm a slut! It didn't take me an hour to move on to another man!" She croaked, her voice to dry to speak, her throat to sore from shrieking curses at her self.

I rubbed her back, "No your not Maxie, you just act on impulse. You were hurt and you wanted Spinelli to hurt as bad as you. That's why you did it." I waited for her sobs to subside, "You need a change"

"Can I have a drink?"

"Water?"

"I need to drink something Sam or I won't get any sleep tonight I'll be to busy swimming in self pity"

I went to the kitchen poured her a double of whiskey may as well give her the strong, stuff rather then having her asking for a refill. I returned with her drink, she downed it with a sour face and twelve minutes later she was out. I turned on '300' hundred before hitting the sack, so much for a quiet evening.

The next day Maxie was gone, she left me a note on the plasma.

I have to be at work early. I'll call you later on- Maxie

After a 'wake me up' shower, I dressed and went to Sonny's

I heard yelling from the outside door, Max and Milo were no where to be found. I pulled my gun, and pushed the already cracked door open. A broken chair slip across the floor as the door fully opened. I rounded the hall and to the living room, finding Carly rolling on the ground with an unfamiliar woman.

"Hey!" I called; the woman looked up stunned to see me with the gun pointed between her eyes. "Get up...Move!" I hollered when she didn't listen.

Carly swung her fist and the pretty little woman's head turned curtly. She groaned in pain and tried to attack Carly again but I advanced on her, grabbing her by the neck and back handing her with the blunt of my Glock. Her eyes closed, and she slumped in my hold. I dropped her and pulled my phone out calling Sonny.

Ring..."Carly do you know her?"

Carly nodded, "She's Claudia Zacchara! She was going to kill me!"

Ring...Carly was crying.

Ring..."Hello?" Jason answered.

"Jason its Sam, Carly was attacked by Claudia Zacchara she tried to kill Carly. I arrived and stopped it in time. I knocked her unconscious for the time being by the way."

"I'm on my way" He hung up.

"Carly why don't you take a shower and change into fresh clothes?" It wouldn't help her to sit and cry. I never thought she was that kind of woman anyway.

She nodded and padded upstairs, when I heard her bedroom door close. I began to clean up picking up things that had been tipped over from Carly fighting. After filling the garbage can with anything that could fit and another garbage can I planted my self on the couch arching my back to loosen my muscles.

"Wake up!"

I opened my eyes to a re eyed Carly; she was about ready to yell again when I cracked my eyes opened fully and yawned. "Did she wake up?"

Carly shook her head and sat beside me, "Jason already came to pick her up. He left a few minutes ago...I didn't want to wake you up yet"

Yeah you didn't want me to see Ja-

"Oh my god what happened to your neck?" Carly gasped brushing my hair away to see the bruise clearly.

Oh shit! When Jason and I were uh...upstairs at Jakes he bit into my neck when he...uh...went 'sexy time'. I forgot all about the damned bruise. "I got into a fight"

"Must have been a very sexual fight, that's a hickey" Carly said, she knew that I had slept with Jason why was she egging me on? She must want me to say it aloud.

She waited for me to respond, to say something. Carly was taunting me into submission.

That wasn't going to happen; I don't care what she went through today. I leaned forward and smiled wickedly, "I had sex with Jason that night at Jakes. Do you want details or what? Why are you so interested in Jason's personal life? You're married to Sonny"

Carly was appalled "Don't talk to me that way! I can have you-"

I cut her off with a flippant wave of my hand, "Do what you want Carly, I don't care. I'll just tell them how you were asking how I got my hickey and I told you, which made you mad" I added, "which is the truth"

Carly smacked her lips and sat farther into her seat, as if she was distancing her self away from me. "I want you reassigned"

"Really?" I said in mock excitement "I've been preying for that but now I realize it's not going to happen. Plus Sonny isn't going to reassign the guard who saved your life"

The front door opened and Max walked in, "Samantha, Sonny wants to talk to you at his office. Mrs. Conrinthos, he wanted me to tell you that he'll be home at around five"

Damnit what did Sonny want with me that he needed to tell me in private?
