Total Eclipse of the Heart
OK so I just want to say I am defiantly taking my creative liberties with the whole drug storyline and I hope you approve and keep on reading. Still don't own GH and all resemblance to other works is strictly coincidental
He entered Kelly's and stepped to the blonde's side giving her a sweet kiss on her cheek.
"Good afternoon fairest Maximista."
She smiled as she pulled his bangs out of his face and gave him a good look into his sweet blue green eyes.
"Good afternoon."
He clapped his hands together in delight.
"So, what movie does the Maximista wish to see this fine day?"
"Well I know you wanted to see..."
"No," he said cutting her off, "it's not about what the Jackal wishes to see it's all about you."
Maxie's borrowed heart skipped a beat as she wondered what she did to deserve a great guy like Spinelli and why she had only just recently become prey to his charms. Smiling she linked arms with his and headed to the Cineplex deciding that she would let the movie times dictate what film they saw that afternoon.

Nadine upon leaving the coffee shop headed back to the hospital to begin rounds with a whole mess of knowledge in her head. So Matt Hunter wasn't the center of the whole drug ring, he was in fact trying to crack the whole thing by trying to look like a part of it, be a double agent of sorts. Shaking her head she made her way to the hub smiling at her friend and colleague nurse Mir before heading to check on her patients. In passing Matt in the hallway she couldn't help but give him a second glance.
Matt meanwhile watched as the young nurse passed him in the hallway. The look she gave him didn't seem to be filled with the normal hostility and he longed to wonder why. She was after all smitten with that stupid prince Nikolas was she not? He let out a sigh, there was just something about that blonde and he wanted to know what it was.
--
On the other side of the hospital a young man in his mid twenties headed to the main desk. He placed one hand into the pockets of his kaki pants while with the other he gently drummed on the counter.
"Can I help you," a voice asked as he looked up into the eyes of a young African American girl. She was kind of cute, and if he were into girls he would defiantly have asked her out.
"Well," he said looking at the tag hanging on her scrubs, "Regina...I'm looking for Bobbie Spencer."
She looked confused as to who he was referring to making him realize that she must be new as his mother wasn't practicing medicine as much anymore and was mostly on the administration end of the hospital.
"She is...or was at least last I heard a nurse here..."
"Are you a patient of hers?"
"Son actually."
"Well I can have her paged if you want."
He nodded and made his way to the waiting area as 'Paging Bobbie Spencer' was announced over the PA system,
--
Outside of the Hospital Claire had made her way toward the Corinthos Morgan coffee house keeping the words Maxie said just hours earlier echoing in her head.
"Think with your heart..."
And for Claire her heart was saying to trust Milo despite the fact that he was a mobster's bodyguard. Like Maxie had also said if it was a cop there would be an equal if not greater chance of him getting shot and well in Claire's mind she would be a hypocrite if she fell for a cop after rejection Milo. Plus Milo made her feel like no one had ever made her feel before.
Reaching for the door she planed to go inside, to tell him she didn't care who he worked for however soon she pulled back as the vision of her last almost boyfriend lying on the slab in the morgue flashed through her mind.
"I can't do this," she said to herself, "not now, I need another night and then whatever happens happens."
--
Some time had passed as the young couple exited the Cineplex the blonde girl tossing popcorn into the young mans mouth. She was amazed at the way the young hacker made her feel.
"So," she said, "how did you like the movie."
"It reminded me of good times."
Maxie let out a small laugh.
"Do you miss it?"
"The high...at first but I have since learned one doesn't need the medicinal herb to find nirvana."
She felt warm and fuzzy knowing that he meant that as a complement.
"So Maximista was there a reason you chose a stoner flick."
Spinelli was referring to the fact that they had just seen Pineapple Express.
"No reason, well James Franco is kind of hot but that's beside the point."
"The Jackal knew it was cause of a guy."
"I said kind of hot, he's no you though."
She gently kissed his cheek causing him to let out a little giggle.
"Man I wish everyone could be as happy and in love as me and you fair Maximista."
"Oh I know, but especially Claire and Milo, I mean did you se her after he found out he worked for Sonny, she was devastated."
"The protector of the night is most distraught that his fair nightingale wants nothing to do with him."
"You know Claire confided in me."
He gave Maxie a curious look.
"What did she say?"
"She asked for advice and if I do say so myself I think that they may have some hope."
"My fingers are crossed."
Maxie nodded and jumped up and down.
"I meant to tell you Spinel, my cousin is coming to town tonight."
He smiled and let her gush on and on about Lucas as the two of them made their way back to Maxie's house.
--
Bobbie Spencer spotted her son sitting in the waiting room and smiled.
"Lucas what are you doing here."
The young man stood up and gave his mother a hug.
"I told you I was coming home."
The older woman smiled.
"Well I knew that, what I meant was why did you come by here and not the house."
He smiled.
"On the off chance you'd be here so you could be the first to welcome me back home."
"Well welcome home."
"Anyway mom you really need to inform the staff of who you are, that one nurse, nurse Thompson had no clue who you were."
Bobbie rolled her eyes making a mental note to create a better rapport with the newer staff members.
"Anyways I need to go back to the office, dinner tonight."
"It's a date," he said grinning as he embraced his mother.
-
From a distance another man was watching on. A few hours ago his roommate had called him talking about how she wanted to set him up with some man named Lucas and upon unintentionally eavesdropping he assumed this Lucas and that Lucas were one and the same as he watched the brown hair, brown eyed man head to the elevator and thought he would play it cool and introduce himself to him.
"Hold the Elevator," the young medical intern said.
Lucas did and looked up at the man standing on the other side of the doors smiling back at him.
"Thanks man," the doctor said, "I'm Kyle."
"Lucas," he said shaking the mans hand.

Nadine finished attending to her patients and was on her way back toward the hub when she was suddenly grabbed from behind. A chill running down her spin wondering who it was, what was going to happen next when the smells of chemicals filled her nose and she realized she was being pulled into the supply closet.
"Shh," a familiar voice said.
She let out a sigh.
'Oh great,' she thought as she was spun and was now locked eye to eye with Matt Hunter.
"What do you want?"
"I want to know what you know."
"What I know," she began to say in her rambely voice, "ha, ha, I don't know anything."
Matt shook his head knowing that someone was in his room at the Commissioners and that his file on Devlin was gone.
"I know you have my file."
"File, I have lots of your files, I am a nurse you're a doctor and..."
Matt let out a sigh thinking he was going to have to go about this the hard way as he pulled her into a lip lock that took both of them off guard.
As he pulled back her knees buckled a bit. She had never been kissed like that even though it was a means of distraction.
She let out a moan.
"I know all about the Devlin..Zacchara file if that's what you're referring too."
Matt simply nodded still lost in the feeling of the impromptu kiss as he gently brushed her cheek.
"So you know I'm not the bad guy."
She nodded.
"Um hmm," she said as he grinned.
"Well then, I hope that knowing the truth will change how you feel towards me."
She simply nodded. Even though Milo and Spinelli wanted her to fake her distaste for the resident she couldn't do that, not now that he knew she knew about the file and was not second guessing where her heart lay.

Claire had left the coffee house now and was strolling on the docks looking out at the boats in the harbor when she heard a voice.
"Claire."
'Crap,' she thought turning to lock her eyes into his before moving them to the small cast on his leg.
"I see you're sans crutches now."
"What can I say," he said grinning, "I'm a fast healer."
"Which is why being a bodyguard is ideal huh."
He just let out a laugh.
"Something like that."
After all that went on before how could he tell her that the only reason he was a bodyguard was because Organized Crime was in his blood, his father was a mobster and his brother Max also worked for Sonny, if he had his own way he would of went to business school or the police academy.
There was a moment of silence before he spoke again.
"So how have you been Claire?"
"Alright I guess, and you."
"To be honest miserable and not just cause of the leg."
Claire bit her lip; she knew it was because of her.
"Because of me."
He nodded as she let out a sigh.
"What if I told you I missed you two and was willing to give you another chance?"
Milo smiled.
"Really."
Claire nodded.
"Well you're the doctor so your schedule is more hectic, when are you available next."
Claire went over her schedule in her head thinking of her next day off.
"Well I'm off Thursday Night."
Milo nodded.
"Thursday night could work...so where do you live..."
"Actually it would be after my shift so could you pick me up at GH."
"The Hospital it is," he said as he watched the blonde walk away glad that she was giving him a second chance.
Little did either of them know in the shadows someone was watching.
"Ah," Jerry said, "so he has an Achilles heel."
Grinning he picked up a piece of paper from his pocket and wrote 'Thursday- GH'
