Ariana woke up due to the smell of fresh roasted coffee. She opened her eyes only to see a ceiling she didn't recognize. She turned her head and looked into a fireplace. Where was she?

"Morning."

A voice came from behind her. A voice she didn't recognize. Filled with fear she jumped up and saw Will.

Heavily breathing she smiled at him.

"My gosh. Will. You scared the crap out of me."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to. I thought you knew where you were."

Ariana folded her bed sheets and the blanket. She had slept on the sofa.

"Why did I sleep here?" She asked casually, she didn't worry. After all Will and Sonny were gay.

Will looked worried.

"You don't know anymore? We talked and you nearly fell asleep. So we asked you whether you could stay the night and you said yes."

Ariana wanted to say that it was all fine, that she spoke the truth yesterday. But just as she wanted to say that she noticed the clock over the fireplace.

"Is that the time?"

"It is a clock." Will seemingly attempted to be funny.

"Will! Is that the time!?" She screamed.

"Yes."

Her outburst had worried Will even more.

"Crap."

Still on the same spot she undressed, standing in front of the sofa, the fireplace and Will just in her underwear.

"What's wrong?"

Ariana didn't want to worry him further but she had to. Or she'd lie. But she didn't want to start her relationship to Will based on lies.

"I escaped from hospital."

"You weren't officially released? Tell me that's a joke." His face was in pain.

"I would love to. Where is the stuff I stood at your door, yesterday?"

"Still in the washing."

"Shit!"

She had scared Will with her outburst. Nervously he bit his lip, looking at her waiting for instructions. When none came he took charge of that.

"But your over age, right?"

Ariana just looked at him. She tried to say 'sorry' with it and apparently Will understood.

"But you are in my class – you go to Uni..." he stammered.

"I jumped a class."

His face lost all its colour. He got paler than she looked yesterday.

"That makes me your teacher. I am your frigging teacher and you are standing here in your underwear. Understand how this makes me look?"

Ariana understood. She understood too well. She had messed up. And she cursed herself.

When it rang at the door, both of them jumped.

Scared as hell Will turned around, shaking from head to toe he was dragging himself to the door, slowly turning the key around and opening it.

As soon as he saw who was standing in front of the door his heart stopped beating. That was so typical for him. For the first time in his life he does something spontaneous and something that could be misinterpret. And exactly then the police needs to be standing outside his house.

"Mr Horton?" The police officer asked, holding his badge up. "I'm Officer Studwell and I'm with the Salem P.D."

For a second Will thought about saying 'no' but he knew that that wouldn't end well.

"Yes. I am."

"Is a certain Miss Fallon currently staying at your house."

Will didn't want to answer this. He now knew where this was going to end. He already saw the trouble coming towards him.

"Yeah."

"Sorry. What did you say?"

"I said: Yes, sir. She is here."

Officer Studwell obviously cared about the Sir, the first answer wasn't respectful enough but his face relaxed as he heard Will's second answer.

"So you're confessing ... That makes my job a hell of a lot easier. You are under arrest for child abduction."

Seemingly the officer wasn't giving Will the benefit of the doubt. In his eyes Will was just another criminal, another bad guy.

"Will?"

As wasn't the situation bad enough, Ariana showed up in the corridor, wearing nothing except her underwear. Just like those films everything was going wrong today. And that's after yesterday where Will couldn't been happier.

"Are you Miss Fallon?"

Ariana knew she had brought Will even more trouble. Mouthing a 'Sorry' she nodded.

With that nod Officer Studwell turned around to Will, fixating a point in his eyes. Happy to have caught a big pervert he smiled at him. It was a cold smile, a smile showing who was in charge of the situation.

"So you're not only under arrest for child abduction but also for suspicion of child molesting."

Will didn't believe his ears? Him, a child molester? What he heard was worse than what he had imagined. He saw himself already in jail, sitting locked up for the rest of his life. Behind him Ariana had started to cry.

"NO! He wasn't doing anything wrong! It was all me!"

But the officer Studwell wasn't looking at her. He waved at his colleague still sitting in the car. The second officer came, not enthusiastic at all. When he passed Will, by now already in hand cuffs, he stopped.

"William Horton?"

Will just nodded. The scare of the police officers at his door at the wrong time and the wrong place still sat in his bones.

"Roman Brady's grandchild?"

Nodding again.

The officer Studwell was surprised. He looked Will in the face and a small flame of hope started in his heart. He had a chance of coming free. Of getting rid of the handcuffs. But just as he tried to smile and the officer who arrested him he saw how the face of his officer changed. Previously it was unfriendly but precise but under Will's look it changed. The lips moved up, showing first a smile and then a laughter. It was one of those laughters that haunted everyone hearing it. It was a laughter going right through Will.

"That is hilarious!" He looked at Will, harassing him with his words. "That was your intention? Being raised by a member of the police you decided to turn away from the rightful path and you chose a life in sin. First being a faggot and then abducting and molesting a minor. You are in trouble Will. And this time even your granddad can't get you out of that."

Will closed his eyes. He had been around EJ and Justin Kiriakis long enough to know that everything he would say in anger could be used against him in court. So as hard as it was not to say anything, not to defend himself and his honour he said quiet. Praying that Sonny would see him like this.

As Will was accompanied to the car, he saw Sonny running down the street. Well that was just what he needed. Why had exactly this day to be the one to become messed up like this? What did Will do deserve all this?

"Excuse me, Officers. What just happened here?" Sonny asked politely though he was coughing for breath.

"Oh. Look at your boyfriend …" Officer Studwell pronounced the word 'boyfriend' just as he was spitting it in front of Sonny's feet. "Looking so worried and he won't be able to help you."

Looking at Sonny's face that just turned determined and cold as stone he slowly said: "Not even your daddy lawyer will get that precious little boyfriend of yours out of this."

Will saw that Sonny could stay quiet a lot longer. He knew Sonny wanted to say something to defend him and Will.

"Don't Sonny. Don't make it worse."

He was whispering to him, not wanting the officer to pick his words up. But he did it anyway.

"Listen to him. Listen to your little fairy boyfriend here."

Will saw how Sonny bit on his lip trying to stay calm. He knew it was hard on Sonny he always interfered when he was confronted with bigotry.

"Will, what happened?" Obviously Sonny had decided not to answer to the officer but to overhear him and his choice of words.

Before Will could answer the second officer lead Ariana out of the house, letting the door fall into the lock. Ariana, still dressed in her underwear but with a blanket over her shoulders looked at the floor.

Sonny quickly connected the dots and realised what just had happened. He was raising one of his eyebrows and Will could her the mute question coming through this. Sonny asked Will whether he was right with his suspicion. When Will nodded almost imperceptibly he saw an unbelieving look on Sonny's face. Seemingly Sonny couldn't believe that the officer had no doubts.
