Arrested Passion

Chapter one

AN: Forget everything going on in GH. Just read the story, the history of the characters will explain it's self.

Summary: Sam is arrested for a murder she didn't commit. The only one willing to hear her story is Lucky. As the truth begins to unfold, both their life's hang in the balance.

"I didn't do it!"

Lucky turned at the sound of the woman's voice. "What's going on?" he asked the commissioner, Mac, who was standing next to him.

"You're new case." Mac said as he handed Lucky the case file that had just been drawn up. "Johnny Russo was found shot to death in his apartment. Sam McCall's prints are over the gun and the apartment. Pretty open and close case."

Lucky took the file and watched as the murderess be taken into the integration room. Lucky Spencer made detective a few months ago, this wasn't his first murder case. But it was the first case he had a bad feeling about. He shook it off the best he could and headed to the room.

The woman, Sam McCall was already seated and chained to the table as he walked in and sat in front of her. "Everything points to you being a killer." He said as he went through the file once more.

"But I'm not." Sam said for what felt like the thousandth time that night. "I wasn't even there, I couldn't kill him." She added.

"How do you know Jonny Russo?" Lucky asked as he glanced into her dark eyes.

Sam was silent as she thought of what to tell the cop. She knew no one believed her but maybe he could, he seemed nice enough. "Some might say we were lovers but we weren't. No one knew the truth; Johnny said it was safer that way. He was my brother, half brother." She explained, hoping not to regret it later.

Lucky knew she wasn't lying, he saw the pain of losing family in her eyes. She was trying to keep it all inside but it wasn't fully working. "If you didn't kill him how do you explain your prints on the gun?" he asked as he kept watching her, wondering if she was truly honest or a hell of an actress.

"Johnny was killed with his own gun. I've touched before so yeah my prints were left behind but I didn't pull the trigger and kill him." Sam said, she knew she sounded desperate but it was too late to care.

"Johnny Russo is a name known to be dangerous, were you involved in his business?" Lucky asked as he wondered why that rout wasn't being looked into, besides the mile long evidence against Sam.

"What business? He owned a few car dealer ships, that's it." Sam said with a shrug.

"You're a good liar."

"Thank you but I'm not lying about this, I didn't kill my brother." Sam said once more.

"If you didn't do it, who did?" Lucky asked the humor the girl it seemed. But inside her pleading eyes were starting to take affect, he believed her.

"I don't know." Sam honestly admitted.

"You've been arrest for the murder of Johnny Russo; you've been read your rights. Someone will be in to take you to processing. From there you'll go to court and see if you make bond. After that a trail date should be set." Lucky explained as he stood from the chair and headed for the door.

"Great." Sam mumbled as the fear of going away for life began to set in.

Lucky looked at her once more before leaving. He felt bad for her, just losing a brother and going to prison for it. But if she pulled the trigger, justice was working in the right. But if she didn't….That but began to haunt Lucky as he headed to Mac's office.

"What can I do for you Lucky?" Mac asked as he hung up the phone he had been using.

"This case, the McCall case, does anything seem off to you?" Lucky asked since Mac worked the case before he passed it down.

"Like what?"

"Like you said, it's open and shut but it seems too perfect, no doubt in the evidence. No possible other suspects." Lucky said.

"Sometimes that's just how it is. There's no reason to doubt any finding in the case." Mac said with confidence.

Lucky knew this wasn't going to help but he just wanted to hear someone else's point of view on the case. "Thanks Mac." He said just as three gun shots rang off in the police station. Both Lucky and Mac rushed out of the office.

"What happened?" Mac yelled.

"McCall, she got out of her cuffs and grabbed a gun from a female officer. She got away before anyone could stop her." One of the uniform officers explained.

"Get every available office out there looking for her." Mac demanded.

"Is there anything I can do?" Lucky asked Mac.

"You've already been here four hours after your shift ended. We'll have patrol cars out looking for McCall. For now just go home and get rest, tomorrow we'll need you." Mac said before heading back to his office to call out a APB on Sam McCall.

Lucky knew Mac was right, there was nothing left to do tonight and it was already pretty late. He grabbed his keys and left the station.

The sky was black and the street was silent as he headed for the parking lot. As soon as Lucky got into his car he knew something was different, then he saw her.

"I need your help." Sam said as she held the gun to his shoulder as she stayed low in the back seat.

"What makes you think I'll help you?" Lucky asked.

"Because you're the first person today that hasn't hung me out to dry. You listened to what I had to say." Sam told him as she lowered the gun and met his eyes in the rearview mirror. "I need you to keep listening."
