Chapter 62

Around three that afternoon Michael just got home from the office when he ran into ryan,who was getting out of his car;Hi,ryan,what brings you downhere?"

"Good news,I hope."smiled he as they walked into the house;"Is donna home?"

"I think so."said Michael surprised;"What's the good news?"

"In a minute."answered his daughter's boyfriend;"Let's see if your wife is home first."

"What are you doing here,ryan?"asked marlee worried when she came down the stairs with her mother and saw her boyfriend standing the hallway with Michael;"Please don't tell me that you're here to pick up donna again."

"No,he's here with good news."started her father slowly as he turned towards ryan;"So,ryan,since my wife is here now you can tell us the good news."

"The good news is that there is now proof that mr. LaSalle made a phonecall after mrs. Hudson was seen by a witness leaving his room,so she's free of all charges."answered he;"We're all very sorry about everything that you had to go through and I'm sure that the D.A. will contact your lawer to rap things up further."

"How did this proof suddenly turn up,ryan?"asked donna all confused;"I thought that I was going to be convicted for sure."

"It seems that shane'd asked the phonenumbers-list of your father's room at tops and that he found out about the phonecall after you'd left."said her daughter's boyfriend;"That's all I know."

"But where is shane?"asked Michael surprised;"If this is all thanks to him then why isn't he here with you to tell us the good news?"

"I have no idea where shane is,Michael,when I got to the station earlier he wasn't there and I found the phone-list that he was working on on tops of his desk,so I'm a bit worried about him because nobody has seen him since this morning when adam saw him driving off in a weird state of mind."started ryan slowly when suddenly Nicole walked in;"Have you seen shane?"

"Yes,he showed up at the store this morning,drunk and going on about us and donna and god knows whatever else,but I refused to listen to him and shut the door in his face."answered she;"He must have been drinking all night or something because he was a total mess."

"Shane had been working,Nicole,he hadn't been out drinking all night because when I called adam a little while ago he said that he'd seen him really early this morning at the policestation and it seems that he'd been working there all night."said her niece's boyfriend;"Where did he go?"

"How should I know?"asked she angry;"I'm not his keeper!"

"Ryan is just worried about shane because nobody has seen him since this morning."answered donna softly;"Shane found the proof to clear me from regioneld's murder,Nicole,thanks to him I don't have to appear in court in a few weeks."

"But how?"started her sister shocked;"I…."

"I checked with the officer on duty at the desk lastnight,Nicole,it seems that shane came to the station lastnight and didn't leave untill this morning after adam found him sitting at his desk and according to adam he was acting really weird as he drove off in his car."said ryan hesitating;"He might have seemed drunk to you because the smell of beer was all around him according to adam and maybe he had been drinking lastnight before he came down to the station,but he has been working all night long on your sister's case,which he has been doing a lots of nights lately according to the desksergant,and I can tell you that he's in a lot of trouble according to our captain for going behind his back."

"Then shouldn't somebody be out there looking for him?"started Nicole suddenly worried and couldn't help thinking about felica's remark about being carefull with what you wish for;What if something has happened to him?

At the hospital sam walked into his wife's room and found her talking to sharlene;"Hi,ladies."

"Hi,sam."said sharlene as she turned around and walked away;"I'll look in on you later,Amanda,bye guys."

"What was sharlene doing here?"asked sam worried;"Is everything okay?"

"Everything's fine,sam."answered his wife;"She was just here to tell me that I might able to go home in a few days."

"But is that safe for you and the baby?"started he still worried;"Aren't you better off at the hospital where they can help you right away if something goes wrong or something?"

"As long as I take it easy then nothing will go wrong."said Amanda hesitating;"You could move in with me into our new house just to make sure that I'm okay and to keep on eye on me."

"Our new what?"asked her husband surprised;"What are you talking about,Amanda?"

"I want to go looking for a house for use as soon as I can go home again."began she softly;"If that's okay with you."

"Ofcourse it is."smiled sam;"But why now all of a sudden?"

"Because my mother made me realize that I've been blaming you for everything that has gone wrong in our marriage,but that some of the blame is mine too and that I've been pretty been selfish."answered his wife as she took his hand into hers;"I don't want you to live somewhere else,sam,please help me find a house for us and move in there with me,because I love you and I don't want to lose you!"

"You won't lose me and I only moved out of your parents' house because I thought that you needed some space to get over what I did,Amanda,that's the only reason."

"But I need you to help me to get through this,sam,I can't do this alone!"said Amanda with tears in her eyes;"I need you!"

"Then we will go looking for a house for us and I won't go back to my brother's old room."smiled he and kissed her;"I promise."

In susan's office she was sitting,thinking about her relationship with adam among other things,when there was a knock on the door and when she looked up she saw adam standing there;"Hey,susan,can I come in?"

"Sure."said she surprised;"What can I do for you?"

"I just wanted to thank you for what you're doing for m.j."started her ex-boyfriend hesitating;"It's really helping her."

"So,are you two together again?"asked susan and wished she hadn't asked that question;"No,wait,adam,don't answer that."

"Yes,susan,we're back together again and before you say anything I want you to know that I really thought that I was over m.j. or else I wouldn't have gotten involved with you."answered he;"I never meant to hurt or decive you in any way and I really do care about you."

"But you don't love me and you probably never have."said his ex-girlfriend with a sad smile;"You have always loved her."

"I thought that I didn't love her anymore and that I was in love with you,susan,I honestly did and I'm sorry for causing you pain."answered adam;"I hope that you find somebody special who's totally in love with you and who will give you everything that you deserve."

"Thanks,adam,I hope thinks work out for you and m.j."started she softly;"I really mean that and I will do whatever I can to help her get those nightmares to go away."

"Thanks,susan,take care."smiled adam as he walked away;"Bye."
