Title: Rewrite the Stars

Chapter 62

***The Next Day***

(Dante had called Sam asking to question her again. Sam agreed, but privately knew what that meant. She wouldn't be answering any questions and she'd need a lawyer. She called the lawyer she felt wouldn't judge her, just maybe wanted some extra cash in case they were low on funds. She dials their number and they answer after a few rings)

Man: "Sam, this is a surprise. What can I do for you?"

Sam: "I need a lawyer. Are you interested in being retained?"

Man: "I'm listening. What's it about?"

Sam: "The kidnapping of Elizabeth Webber."

Man: (surprised) "My soon-to-be ex daughter-in-law?"

Sam: (sighs) "Yes, Scott. Will that stop you from helping me out?"

Scott: "No, I didn't say that. You just caught me off-guard there." (clears his throat) "Do the police know all the details?"

Sam: "Nope. My mom doesn't either, but she's drawing her own conclusions."

Scott: "I'd like to meet with you before you're questioned."

Sam: "I'm texting you my address now."

(Scott gets a beep on his phone shortly after)

Scott: "Got it."

(A little bit later, there's a knock on Sam's front door. She answers the door and Scott comes in)

Sam: "Thank you for agreeing to be my lawyer."

Scott: "You DO know there may be a little conflict of interest because of Elizabeth, right? Her and Franco may be almost divorced, but I still care about her."

Sam: (sighs deeply) "So, you're not going to help me, either?"

(Scott briefly points at Sam before speaking)

Scott: "I didn't say that. I will still represent you. I feel everyone is entitled to representation…even if they're not completely innocent. Now, I won't ask for the full story because there's no time. What I DO want to know is…are you guilty of whatever you're being accused of?"

Sam: "Am I being protected by client/attorney privilege?"

Scott: (nods) "Yes. Whatever you say to me I can't repeat. Only time I'm required to is if you tried to kill someone or actually did the deed…meaning you actually killed them."

Sam: (shakes her head) "No, I did not."

Scott: (nods) "Then, we're good to go. Brief me on what Dante may have on you."

Sam: "I have no alibi the morning Lizzie Baldwin was kidnapped. Mom told that to Dante as I stayed the night…both me and Danny. She let me sleep in so she brought Danny to school."

Scott: (nods) "I will argue his case is only circumstantial. You should have been sleeping and didn't do what you were accused of doing. Did you have an accomplice?"

Sam: (sighs) "Yes, but Lizzie never saw me. It's my word against the other person."

Scott: (nods) "Were there any cameras when you were committing the crime?"

Sam: "Yes, but I was covered up, so they can't prove it was me."

Scott: (nods) "Let's head to the PCPD. Let Dante ask his questions."

***PCPD***

(Dante is at his desk going over some paperwork when he sees Sam walk into the station with Scott following her. He was a little surprised by seeing Sam with what he guessed was her attorney. Dante raises his hands to his sides)

Dante: "What's this? You brought an attorney?"

Scott: "Aw, come on, Dante. You know you shouldn't be questioning my client without me present."

Dante: "I didn't know she had a lawyer, Baldwin. When did this happen?"

Scott: "It doesn't matter."

Dante: "I didn't think I needed to worry about asking Sam if she wanted a lawyer if she was innocent."

(Scott waves Dante away)

Scott: "Let's just get this over with."

(All three go into the interrogation room. Dante farthest away from the door and Scott and Sam near the door)

Scott: "Ask your questions, Dante. Sam, I'll tell you what is okay and not okay to answer."

Dante: "Sam, you said you brought Danny to school when, in fact, your mom did. Why did you lie?"

(Sam looks at Scott, who speaks)

Scott: "Because she knew you'd accuse her of kidnapping Mrs. Baldwin if she said the truth…that she was sleeping in when Alexis brought Danny to school. She's not an idiot, detective."

Dante: "Scott, I think she can answer for herself, okay?"

Scott: "Not when you're interrogating her like you're doing right now. I'm protecting her."

Dante: (tilts his head) "Oh, yeah? Who's protecting Elizabeth Baldwin? Who protected her when she was kidnapped and planned her kidnapping?"

Scott: (narrows his eyes) "Next question, detective."

Dante: "Sam, I'm going to ask you the obvious question. Did you kidnap Elizabeth Baldwin?"

(Sam faces Scott, who shakes his head, as if to tell her to stay silent)

Scott: "My client is advised not to answer that at the risk of implicating herself."

(Sam leans over to whisper something in Scott's ear and he nods. Dante looks at the both of them. Sam sits back in her chair)

Scott: "My client did not take Elizabeth Baldwin, but she knows who did…as he tried to recruit her."

(Scott leans forward a bit before speaking to Dante again)

Scott: "Tell the judge we'll make him/her a deal. We tell him who it is and they give my client immunity."

Dante: (chuckles) "You're forgetting something, Baldwin."

Scott: "What's that?"

Dante: "Your client must not be in the loop. We already know who her accomplice is. So, I highly doubt the DA or the judge will grant your client immunity or even consider it."

(Scott shakes his head that his plan didn't work. His only hope for Sam was to prove that the accomplice recruited Sam and not the other way around. He knew it was a stretch, though. Sam faces Scott and looks at him in expectancy, as if wondering what his next move was. Scott just nods at Dante)

Scott: "Fine. Let's go, Sam."

(Sam raises her hands to her sides and has a weird face)

Sam: "What?"

Scott: "I said 'let's go'."

(Sam follows Scott just outside the precinct)

Sam: "Okay, what's going on? What happened with the immunity?"

Scott: (frustratedly) "You're probably not going to get it, okay? I probably should have known but I'm not fully aware of your case yet. I can't blame you, either, because we didn't have enough time to go over all of your full story. The PCPD knows who your accomplice is so we can't make a deal, meaning no immunity. Your best bet would be to prove your partner recruited you and not the other way around. If I can't do that, you might be screwed."

Sam: (shocked) "Are you serious?"

Scott: "Sam, we've got our work cut out for us. As soon as you're free, we need to get started."

***Webber House***

(Elizabeth is in sweatpants, a t-shirt, and a sweater with her hair up in a pony tail. She's snuggling up with Jason on the couch. They are both enjoying a cup of coffee. Cameron offered to make his younger brothers' breakfast. A grateful Jason took his son up on it. Jason wanted to focus on Elizabeth being she just got out of the hospital the day before, even though Elizabeth insisted she was fine. After the boys are fed and everyone is settled, Jason calls Diane)

Jason: "Hey, Diane. You can come over anytime. Elizabeth is settled in at home."

(Diane arrives within a half hour. Jason lets her in. She has a cheerful smile on her face, which Jason and Elizabeth notice)

Jason: "Okay, what's going on, Diane?"

Liz: (smiles) "You look like you're in a very happy mood. Is there a reason for that?"

Diane: (chuckles) "Oh, you betcha. Because I have excellent news."

Jason: "Good. Because we could use some right now."

(Diane chuckles enthusiastically as she spoke)

Diane: "I just found out from the judge that Elizabeth is officially divorced from Franco. Not only are you a free woman, but the judge granted your request to go back to 'Webber'. So, you are officially Elizabeth Webber again."

(Jason and Elizabeth face each other happily)

Liz: "When did you technically find out, though? I'm guessing it wasn't today or yesterday."

Diane: (nods) "You would be right. The day you got kidnapped was when I technically found out. I didn't say anything to Jason because of everything he was going through."

Jason: (nods) "While I would have wanted to know, I understand why you didn't say anything."

Liz: "Does Franco know?"

Diane: (nods) "Scott informed him the day he found out about the news. I'm guessing after everything you've been through, Franco wanted to give you some peace."

Liz: (smiles happily) "So, I'm officially divorced, Diane?"

Diane: (chuckles) "Yes, ma'am!" (to Jason) "And yes, Jason, you are the most expensive client I've ever had who wanted a divorce for his girl so quickly."

Jason: (smiles) "And it was worth every penny."

(Elizabeth gets up from the couch and gives Diane a huge hug)

Liz: "Thank you for everything. I appreciate it more than you will ever know."

Diane: "My pleasure, dear."

(They break free and Diane makes her exit. The boys, who were in the kitchen, overheard the conversation)

Cameron: "I'm so glad it's finally over."

Jake: "What happens now?"

(Jason faces his boys before looking his girl in the eyes sweetly)

Jason: "There is something I have been wanting to ask you for the longest time. I didn't, though, because you weren't officially divorced yet from Franco. I wanted to respect your wishes on the subject. Being you wanted to be free before going on a date with me or kissing in public in fear of it getting back to Franco or anyone related to him. But, now that you're divorced, I can officially ask my question."

(Elizabeth knew it was one of two questions and hoped it wasn't the one she was thinking about for the boy's sake. Jason looked his girl in the eyes with Cameron, Jake, and Aiden as an audience)

Jason: "Elizabeth Imogene Webber, will you please do me the honor of going out on a date with me?"

(Elizabeth laughs in ecstasy at her soulmate)

Liz: "Yes, I would absolutely love to go out on a date with you! I can't wait!"

(She kisses Jason's cheek and they hug happily. Elizabeth wanted to kiss Jason more than anything. She wanted it to be a private moment between them so it was more intimate, though)

(All three boys cheered with joy that their parents are finally together, at long last)
