AN: Okay, when I get to the hostage crisis a lot of the dialogue will be the same but it will (hopefully) end up changing with the way that I think Sam should have handled the crisis. So just for safety…
Disclaimer: A lot of the dialogue I do not own, I got it from GeneralHospitalHappeningsTwo
My Vietnam
Chapter 13
Jason was furiously pushing the down button on the elevator hoping to God that Sam was alright. He finally gave up and ran, not sure where he ran to all he could think about what Sam and somehow he ended up outside. By the time he reached the outside the cops had arrived and rushed him away from the building. He was ushered over to the cops who thought he had been in the lobby, "No, I wasn't in the lobby! What the hell is going on?!"
Mac sighed in frustration and said, "Do you know anyone who is in the lobby?"
Jason's face softened with sadness, "Sam."
"Okay…" He went to leave when he felt a vice grip on his wrist and he turned around angrily, "What the-"
"What is going on in there Mac?" Asked Jason, his usually blank face filled with anger and determination.
"Hostage crisis, we're not sure how many people are in there-"
"The charity event was tonight!" Jason said with realization.
Mac nodded, "I know."
Jason thought, "Carly and Sonny are in there."
"How do you know that?"
"They came here with me and I left them in the lobby." Jason turned away from Mac and looked at the building feeling helpless.

Rewind – After Sam Got Into The ElevatorSam walked out of the elevator into the lobby, immediately confronted by Carly and Sonny. "Sam, where is Jason?" Carly asked impatiently.
Sam shook her head, "I left him upstairs, excuse me." She said trying to push past the couple.
Sonny grabbed her elbow and spun her around gently, "W-what do you mean you left him upstairs, did he tell you anything?"
Sam sighed, "This really doesn't concern you Sonny, I'm out of your life and Jason's." She looked past Sonny at Carly, "So there, you have both your men back, I'm done."
She finally managed to push past the two and got as far as the door before men came bursting through, guns drawn and the leader grabbed her and put a gun to her head and fired two warning shots into the air, "Nobody move and nobody will get hurt!"
Sam wrestled lightly before having the gun painfully pressed into her skull and yelled, "Alright, alright!"
The leader spoke to her with a British accent, "You're going to be trouble, aren't you?"
"Let go of me!" She yelled in reply before he tossed her into a wooden chair.
He spoke to the rest of the group, "Everybody stay where you are! This is a robbery. Cooperate and it will be over in five minutes."
Carly took a step forward, "Take anything, just don't hurt anyone."
The man smirked, "Thank you for your support, I intend to." He glanced around the room, "Everybody hand over their cell phone, pagers, P.D.A.S. please."
His men went around the room and collected the phones, rather roughly before getting to Elizabeth and grabbing the phone she was trying to make a call with, she held up her hands, "Alright!"
Something snapped inside of Sam and she yelled, "Stop it! She's pregnant!"
The leader sighed and turned to Sam, "You again, do shut up." He looked back at his goon and nodded and the goon took the phone but with less force.
Sam looked around the room and saw Sonny and Carly talking and wished she was nearer to them but she was half the rooms length away. The leader again spoke to the group, "Now, please take off all jewelry and hand it over." Once more the men came around with a second bag and took all jewelry, but Sam had none to turn over.
"I don't have any." She stated firmly.
The leader walked over to them, "What the hell is going on over here?"
The goon looked at him and spoke with a (surprisingly) female voice, "She won't give up the goods."
"I told you, I don't have any!"
The leader looked at Sam and nodded to the goon, "continue on." The goon glared at Sam but continued, the leader gave sam one more look then moved away.
Sam looked around the room before her eyes were, once again, drawn to Carly and Sonny who were arguing over a piece of jewelry then, once it was given up, they started talking in a hushed whisper again. The leader spoke to his goons, "Five? You and three clean out the vault. Take a hostage with you."
Sam watched as a hostage, a young girl with skanky dyed hair was dragged off, "No, wait. What are you doing? I'm sorry, ok? I'm sorry! Please don't kill me! No! Don't!"
A while passed before Sam watched Carly walk over to the leader and say, "Take what you want and get the hell out of my hotel, mr. One or whoever the hell you are." She grabbed the bottom of the mask and One, the leader, responded by putting his gun under her chin.
"I wouldn't if I were you." One responded. Carly let go and One let down the gun and shoved her into Sonny, "Good girl."
All of a sudden an alarm went off and the assistant manager tried to hide a grin when some goons returned and yelled, "Someone activated the silent alarm! The briefcase got locked in there with Three and the Hostage."
One looked at the assistant manager and said, "You."
Carly stepped forward, "You won't be able to get into the vault for the next 12 hours."
Sonny stood by her, "Things are about to go seriously wrong. You still got time to cut your losses. But you're going to have to leave now. You came after the briefcase. That didn't work out. You got a chance to get away, but you got to leave now. I don't think anybody wants a hostage situation. Especially since the vault won't open for another 12 hours. That's a long time to hold off the cops. I don't think you want to attract that kind of attention, do you?"
Carly nodded, "I promise you, we won't press any charges."
Sonny continued, "So I'm thinking maybe you'll leave here in a body bag, or you and your people can slip out the service entrance through the docks, and -- I'll tell you what. I'll even volunteer to be your hostage. But you got to leave now."
From outside, Mac went over the speaker, "This is the port charles police. We have the place surrounded."
One gave up any sign of thinking, "Well, now, I don't have much of a choice, do I?" He looked around the group and said, ""We have a long night ahead of us. I can't leave without that briefcase, and the briefcase is locked up in the vault for the next 12 hours. So, there's no point in spending our time together in an unpleasant way. So we're going to play a little game. We'll call it "get to know you." We're going to go walk around the room, ask your name and a word to describe yourself. For example, my name is one. So I would say "fun one." Doesn't have to rhyme, but you get extra points if it does. And points will be very important as the night rolls on." He picked up a pencil holder, "Anyone who drops this will end up as a human shield as we leave here. Go."
Carly caught it, "Kick-ass carly."
One smiled, "Very good. Now toss it to someone else."
Max heisitated, "Uh -- menacing max."
One held up his gun then thought, "Fair. But he or she who hesitates -- you know the rest. Now, go." Max didn't throw it, "Don't make me repeat myself again."
Lulu glared at him, "Screw-you lulu."
One smirked, "Love it. Faster.
Lulu tossed it to Nikolas, "Nightmare Nikolas."
"Baby's breath elizabeth."
"Intern emily."
"Job-in' Robin."
"Howlin' Alan"
"Michael Corinthos Jr."
One shrugged, "Continue."
Sonny looked around and threw it to Sam, she saw it coming too short and reached for it, almost dropping it and brushed hair out of her eyes, "Smart-ass Sam."
One walked over and grabbed the container then turned to the group, "Nice work. Nice work, all of you. Bravo, bravo. So, now that we all know each other a little more, don't think of yourselves as hostages, but think of yourselves as my guests. Sit quietly, behave yourselves, or die. It's that kind of a party." Without looking he held up his gun to Sam and shot her in the shoulder, she grasped her bleeding shoulder and fell over the side of the chair with a scream.
Outside Jason's head sharply looked toward the building, "Sam."
James looked down at the brunette, "So, now you all know I mean business."
