Chapter 4
"What is going on?" Jason asked Dominic
"Sonny wanted me to ask you details on what Franco is like—he wants to frame him for Claudia's death"
"I think I should leave. I need to me up with a few people." Sam said as she gathered her things
"Oh, I am sorry, did I interrupt something" Dominic asked
Sam smiled "No, not anything we cannot pick up later"
"Oh, okay…you know we can talk later"
"Okay, that sounds good—I'll stop by to see Sonny tonight" Jason replied
"Wait, Dominic. I need your help." Sam said
"Okay, anything. What's up?" he said
"Well since you are on your way out can you help me take something to my office?"
"Sure, sound simple enough"
"Sam, what are you doing with this painting?" Jason asked
"You will find out" Sam said as she placed a quick peck on his lips
Dominic smiled at Jason and picked up the painting "do you mind if we take my car?"
"No, Spinelli and Maxie can drop me off later to pick up my car" Sam said as she was shutting the door to Jason's penthouse.
On the way to my office I called Lulu and asked her to pick up some spray paint and then called, Maxie, Spinelli and Carly to meet me at the P.I office as soon as they could.
"Should I be worried about what you are doing?" Dominic asked
"No, stop picking up on Jason's ques, Lulu will be fine as well as everyone else. I have a plan that can help us heal."
"Shoot I forgot my key's at Jason's. Oh good Spinelli and Maxie are already here" Sam said
Dominic asked me "would you like me to stay till everyone else gets here"
"Are you hoping to accidentally run into Lulu." Maxie replied
"Okay. I guess I should leave before Maxie jumps down my throat. Do you want me to go get your keys from Jason?"
"So you can come back and see this secret meeting Sam has planned. I think not" Maxie said this time getting up from her seat.
"Bye Sam. Nice seeing you again, Spinelli. Maxie" he said nodding his head. Dominic left.
Sam burst out laughing "What was that mother hen?"
"Come on Sam, getting involved with people in that kind of work—we have to be concerned for one another."
Sam did not say anything she just set up. "Sam, my Fair Maximista meant nothing by that. She merely is voicing her concern"
"Spinelli, it is okay. I know the risk." Sam said
Lulu and Carly came in "What is going on and here is the stuff you asked for" Lulu said
"This is an interesting group of people" Carly remarked
"Yes, but we all have something in common…Franco" Sam said. Everyone nodded their head with either, sadness, fear, anger, disappointment or regret. Sam added quickly "I was kidnapped for over a week. Lulu almost died in a explosion. Carly was taken by Franco leaving her daughter alone. Maxie did something not to be mentioned because Franco played mind games. And Spinelli had to endure all of this; costing him love and possible lives."
When Sam was done, they all understood and waited for what she had planned. Sam explained the painting with Spinelli's help and told them about what she did to Franco's tag on a dumpster. She said this could help us heal and take the anger out on him vicariously through his artwork. The spray paint was on the table and Sam took out a pocket knife from her desk drawer. "Have fun" was all that was left to be said
The blonde's took turns spray painting and Spinelli took the knife and cut across the middle of it. "Fair Samantha, aren't you going to join?" Spinelli inquired
"No, there is someone else that needs a crack at it but does not even know it yet" Sam replied. The girls all smiled and laughed. Maxie, Lulu and Carly went back the Metro-Court to work and Spinelli and Sam cleaned up.
Jason/Hospital
Jason was passing through the hospital to check up on Ronnie to ask him more about his past with Franco.
"Hey, Jason. Threatening more patients today" Patrick asked
"Not, that I know of, but I will let you know" Jason said trying to avoid a conversation
"Sam" Patrick begin to say, when Robin came up and finished his sentence "Not, too fast. We heard about Sam and Lulu. Are they okay?"
"Yeah, they are getting back to their normal lives" Jason said
Patrick whispered under his breath "What is normal about Sam's life" Jason heard and Robin slugged him.
"Sam will be fine, I am going to make sure of that. Along with everyone else I care about. If you do not mind I have business to do." After that comment Jason left, while Robin gave Patrick a stare.
"Come on Robin, Sam has had more hospital visits here than Jason."
"Not, all of them were his fault. She gets herself in trouble as well"
"Still that is no way to live. I am just glad you are safe and are my wife!" Patrick said
Spinelli/Sam
"So what do you plan on doing with the painting once created by Franco." Spinelli asked
"I want to give Jason the final wham to it. As much as he says he is not worried…he is. I just wish he knew everyone it trying to help him"
"He knows, he just does not like admitting that he is weak"
"Yeah. Well we should get to work. I have to meet with clients and you have to come with, because I forgot my keys and then we can come back here and have dinner—invite Maxie. Then I will get Jason to pick me up with my car and bring my keys. Sound good?"
"Yes. Let us meet our new client and start this business booming again." Spinelli said as he locked up the door and headed to Maxie's car, which she left when Carly drove her back to work.
"I am so excited to get working. I miss normalcy" Sam said
"Yes, thinking about other things can be most helpful"
"Are you are talking about you and Maxie."
"Perhaps. I just need to have time to myself that does not involve the name Franco" Spinelli said
"I know" Sam said giving Spinellis' arm a squeeze
Spinelli and I had dinner, Maxie had to meet with Kate and Lulu at some fancy dinner. When Sam and Spinelli finished eating and going over notes, Spinelli left to go home. Sam organized all the case files and started her reports. She finished around 9:30 and decided to call Jason.
"Hey, can you pick me up with my car—I left my keys there and need to lock up the office and having my car would also be nice." Sam said
"Yeah. I can be there in 10 minutes." Jason said
"Thanks, see you soon"
10 minutes later…
"Hey, I hope this was not too much trouble?"
"No, I was just playing pool at the Penthouse. So I ran into Spinelli at home and said you turned the painting into a therapeutic exercise."
"Yeah. It went well. I just hope it helped."
"Spinelli seemed to think so. Care to give more details?"
"Of coarse, let me show you." Sam said grabbing his hand over to the back room
"Well. I never thought you would have done this." Was all Jason could utter
"Not me; Lulu, Carly, Maxie and Spinelli"
"So why didn't you do anything?" he asked
"I already did do something. And now it is your turn"
"Oh, yes. The dumpster. My turn?"
"You need to burn this. But first, use this knife to take out all your anger."
Jason did as told and Franco's painting looked nothing like it did once. "Thank you Sam"
"Your are welcome" she smiled and then reached her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"Alright, where do you want to burn this thing" she said breaking the kiss
Jason and Sam burned the painting after she locked up her office. They took her car and headed back to her apartment. "You want to stay the night" Sam asked as she kissed his lips "Or do you have work in the morning?"
"I do not have work till tomorrow night. And Maxie is coming over the Penthouse. So I guess I mind as well stay." He said.
Her passion for him ignited and kissed him again. She started to get closer to him but then realized there was too much car in the way. "Why don't we finish this up in my room" she said
They got to her apartment, cracked open a bottle of wine and got caught up in the passion again—this time making it to the bedroom. "That was the best sleep I have had since Mexico" Jason said after.
"Why Mexico? "
"Because you were back in my arms again"
"Well whoever said flattery doesn't get you anywhere obviously did not know Jason Morgan" Sam said as she broke their embrace. She sat up looking at him. "Thank you"
"Anytime" he said as he grabbed to back of her neck pulling her head towards his. The heat for each other rose and Sam and Jason made love again.
