I figured I should get my take on the spoilers before the show does it their way. My twist may shock you but everything will work out.
Chapter 15
"Hi" Sam said as she entered the visiting room
"Hi" he stood up but she gestured for him to sit because of the bruises
Then a flashback: "So now that Jason is in jail there is not one here to look out for you. You should have not got involved with that shipment." A henchman said
"I did not mess with anyone's shipment—you are just trying to find a reason to go after me. I do not need Jason to protect me—I can protect myself" Sam said and then three more guards came out "I will not say anything to anyone about this if you just let me leave" and they said nothing so she left but they came after her and tried to beat her up—thankfully someone showed up and said something but she did not hear because she was semi-unconscious. The man picked her up and took her to the docks where she woke up only to see a glimpse of the man who looked familiar but she was too much in pain to think about it
"Sorry that I have not been here in a while" she sat down and winced in pain
"It is fine—I have been busy reading letters and your case notes." He paused and looked at her "Sam, are you okay"
"Yeah—I was tracking some case and was not paying attention to where I was walking—fell down the stairs. Just a few bruises" she lied
"Why don't you tell me the real story—who came after you and was it because of me?"
"It is nothing that I cannot handle, just leave it at that" Sam said and Jason pulled her jacket sleeve up to reveal the bruises
"WHO did this to you?"
"A shipment failed and they blamed me because I was sort of spying. Just a few bruises someone saved me before it got worse. The guy looked familiar but I could not put my finger on because I was not fully conscious yet"
"They need to pay"
"No, it was the Zacharra's. Do not do something that could make you serve longer. Please, for me do not start anything"
"Johnny did this?"
"I do not think so. Please, just do what I want."
"I will because I love you and care about you—but if anything else happens, you cannot hold me back"
"We will see. Okay you can hug me now" she smiled "not too tight though" and so he gave her a gentle hug "I miss you so much"
"I miss you too and love you so much." He let go "So how is everything at home?"
"Well, Spinelli is helping Carly with something. I assume it is not good but it is helping him out of this funk he is in"
"Just keep an eye on him for me? And if you keep the other on Carly"
"I would lay my life on the line for Spinelli. As for Carly…I make no promises. So did you find anything on Michael's beating?"
"Yeah—it is this guy named Carter. He saw him as fresh meat and wanted the first stab at him"
"What exactly are you thinking?" Sam said worried
"He needs to pay"
"NO, you are not going to do this. Did you even think about the consequences, really? What about Michael, Carly, Spinelli…what about me?"
"Sam"
"No, do not Sam me. You will get put in isolation, you cannot protect Michael and even better they will extend your sentence. You cannot do that to the people you care about. I do not think I can take another blow." She paused "I am sorry—I made this about me. Why do I always do that" she stood up and turned her back to him
"You are right. Everything you said is right and even worse is that you are hurting I am too oblivious to notice."
"No, I am fine. I promised you I would be okay and I am. Just please do not do this." She looked at him with sympathetic eyes "I need to go."
"Hey Mark" Carly said coming up behind him at the docks
"Oh hi. How are you doing these days…I heard about Michael I am so sorry and if there is anything I can do let me know. I have a few connections that Jax and Jason do not"
"Like?"
"I know the warden. He is a close friend of mine."
"Why didn't you say this earlier?"
"I just found out yesterday—I was out on business"
"How do you know the warden?"
"Went to college with him. I introduced him and his wife. He is a great guy"
"I hate to ask this…but do you think you can talk to him"
"Yeah. Most definitely. Michael is a great kid who needs to be home"
"Thank you. I owe you"
"Do not put all your faith in me yet. Before you go…do you know where Sam is?"
"I think she is on her way back from visiting Jason"
"What do you mean?"
"No one told you?" Carly paused "Jason put himself in prison to protect Michael"
"Wow. Well I will catch up with you after I see the warden."
"Thanks"
#-#-#-#
"Jason, what is going on?" Michael asked
"I took care of Carter but I think that we are going to be separated. But Carter cannot get you"
"When will they come for you"
"Not sure"
%_%_%_%
"Mark, it is so good to see you. I heard you were in town—Sherrie would have had you over for dinner if you called"
"Shipping Business and the Enterprise got busy. I actually wanted to talk to you about one of your prisoners"
"Why on earth do you know one of my prisoners?"
"Michael Corinthos III. He is a friend of mine—I was teaching him diving. He is such a great kid he just got the wrong father and uncle."
"What is that you want me to do about it"
"I know you have pull and so does Sherrie. You once told me you would do me a favor"
"About a personal issue though"
"Sam McCall"
"Ah, yes. I have a heard a thing or two about that one. Did you ever find her again?"
"I did. But she is in love with Jason Morgan. Their bond is nearly unbreakable"
"Morgan just killed an inmate"
"I figured that would happen—It was cause the guy touched Michael. But he deserved to be with his mother and step-father and he is already traumatized. I know the judge sent him in here to get away from his family and start over—I am afraid it has done worse."
"I see your point—but what is the real reason?"
"If I have any chance with Sam it will be if she is happy. It kills her to see Jason so worried and upset and he is so consumed with Michael he does not pay attention to her the way she deserves. With Michael safe and out of the picture, Jason can realize what he is missing with Sam and I can possibly win her back"
"I believe that girl should be with you. You have done so much for yourself and I think you could give so much to her. You want that kid to be free—and I think he needs to be especially after witnessing Jason kill the other inmate" he paused "I will grant your appeal and put Sherrie on his release right away. Good luck with the girl—I expect to be the best man"
"Thank you" and Mark left
^%^%^%^%
"Michael Corinthos III" the Warden Powell spoke "You are a free man. We have set some guidelines and community service instead of serving the next two years. Your mother is waiting for you"
"What about Jason"
"Jason committed a crime. We will handle his sentencing after you leave. I suggest you say your goodbyes."
Michael and Jason said their goodbyes and Michael left with a guard to be released
"Mr. Morgan—you will serve your remaining time along with the years for killing an inmate. You should be thankful to your girlfriend"
"Sam got Michael out?"
"No, my good friend and hers: Mark Granger"
"Well thank you. Michael deserves this"
"And so does Sam McCall and Mark" he paused "Your hearing will take place tomorrow. You will not be allowed visitors until after" he added knowing Jason wanted to see Sam
$$##$$##$$
"McCall?" Mark said approaching Sam on his boat
"I heard you were back in town. And I ran into Carly and Michael who said you were the reason he is out"
"Yeah—I am good friends with the Powell's"
"Do you think you could try and get Jason out for me" she turned around with tears in her eyes
"He killed an inmate—Michael's release was more important and you know that. Just think: now Jason can worry about himself"
"Not real comforting"
"I am sorry. I wish I could have done more" he lied
"I know. So do you know how Jason's sentencing will be affected?"
"Not sure"
Sam sighed "Well at least Michael is where he should be." She said and then her phone rang
#
"Sam get down to Crimson as soon as you can—this is really important" Maxie screamed
"On my way. Are you okay?"
"I do not know how to answer that" she paused "just hurry"
#
"Everything okay. I heard Maxie screeching" Mark laughed
"Yeah, I need to get down to Crimson ASAP. I will talk to you later maybe you should call Michael—set something for you two to do" Sam said and walked off leaving Mark content in what he accomplished
