At the cabin --

Zander sat down with Emily and took a deep breath before telling her about Sonny's arrest for killing his father. Zander hadn't talked about his father's death to anyone, not even to Emily. He had made excuses for the nightmares that followed over the past 15 years to anyone who would ask about them. She saw the seriousness in his face and an overwhelming concern came over her.

"Zander, what is it?"

"There is something that I haven't told you, something that has haunted me and I had rid myself of the nightmares, or so I thought. Tonight that nightmare came back and I need to tell you about it before you hear it from someone else."

Emily was getting scared just listening to Zander talk about whatever it was he had to tell her. Scared for him, scared for herself because she didn't know if she could do anything to help him through it.

"Zander whatever it is, you can tell me." she replied as he looked into her eyes and knew what she said was true. He could tell her anything and she'd always be there to support him, no matter what.

"My father ..... my father was killed 15 years ago and ... I was there, I saw it happen." Tears began to well in his eyes as he told her what happened and she pulled him into an embrace wanting to take the pain away. "No, Em I need to tell you this." he pulled from her and sniffled back the tears.

"Detective Steele ... he was investigating my father's case and he found the man .. who killed him." Zander continued.

"Well that's good right, I mean now they can arrest him and he can pay for it." she got excited for a minute before Zander brought on more of the truth.

"I'm the only one who can identify the man who shot and killed my father, Emily and I can't be sure on who that man was." he replied in disgust with himself for not remembering all of what he saw.

"You were eight years old, Zander .. you can't expect to remember 15 years later .. especially something this traumatic. Give yourself some time, it will come back to you."

"Em, I don't have that kind of time." he sighed heavily. "Detective Steele and Ric served an arrest warrant tonight on who they think killed my father. Without me, they have no case against him. I need to remember, Emily."

"Zander, who did they arrest?" Emily questioned.

"Someone we both know ... Sonny Corinthos." he blurted out and noticed her jaw drop reaction.

At the PCPD --

Ric kept Sonny in the interrogation room till his attorney arrived and while he finished up the report on the case. As Ric sat behind the desk and signed the last of the paperwork, he looked up and noticed someone standing in front of him.

Ric stood up from his seat and extended his hand to the woman who stood before him. "DA Lansing, and you are?" he asked as she took his hand and shook it.

"I'm here to see my client, Mr. Corinthos. I'm Victoria London." Ric smiled and led her to the interrogation room to see Sonny.

"Mr. Corinthos, your attorney is here to see you." Ric announced as he opened the door to the room and saw Sonny sitting at the table shackled to the floor. His attorney noticed the shackles when she entered the room and asked for them to be removed.

"Are those necessary?" she asked about the shackles as she stepped into the room and set down her briefcase on the table.

Ric rolled his eyes at her question and then called in an officer to remove the cuffs from Sonny's ankles. "Spencer!

Unshackle Mr. Corinthos." Lucky looked at Ric like he had lost his mind. "Just do it." Ric replied before he stepped back into the squad room.

Sonny and his attorney talked a while, while Ric looked on. She was very attractive, deep auburn curls, shoulder length hair, piercing blue eyes, the prettiest he's ever seen. Ric was smitten. As he stood there observing, he didn't hear Alexis approach him from behind.

"Do I need to be worried about you Ric? Spying isn't becoming of a District Attorney." she joked as she walked up on him.

She startled him back to reality and turned around with a snap. "I wasn't spying, Alexis. I was just observing. There's a difference." Alexis chuckled at his way of thinking.

"Who is that by the way?" Alexis asked when she noticed Sonny was talking to someone.

"She's Sonny's attorney." Alexis intrigued by that for some reason as she peered thru the window and watched as Sonny spoke with his attorney in private.

"Now who's spying." Ric smirked and walked away towards the desk he had been working at earlier. Just as Alexis turned and walked towards him, the interrogation room door opened and the auburn haired attorney emerged.

Alexis and the attorney locked eyes on one another and then excited squeals could be heard throughout the squad room.

"Alexis?" the attorney asked as she stepped forward slowly. "Vicki?" Alexis replied as she took a few steps towards the her.

"Oh my God ... it is you!" they squealed like giddy school girls as they embraced each other.

"How long as it been? 20 years?" Victoria asked as Ric came upon them. Alexis nodded to Victoria's question when she saw Ric standing there.

"So I take it the two of you know each other?" The two attorney's smiled at each other and then at Ric.

"Vicki and I went to law school together, we were sorority sisters for a while." Alexis replied with joy to have her closest friend in town with her.

"We definitely need to catch up." Victoria said.

"Come on, we can go to my office and talk." Alexis offered and led the way to her office, Victoria following close behind.

Alexis' office --

Alexis opened the door to her office and invited Vicki in. "Have a seat." Alexis said as she showed Vicki one of the leather chairs in front of her mahogany desk.

"Mmm.. Assitant DA. Very nice Alexis." Alexis looked around her office and didn't think it was the greatest job she had had over the past 20 years, but it was something that kept her out of trouble with those questionable clients.

"So what about this case against my client, Alexis? You're seriously not going to prosecute on the evidence you have, are you?" Victoria asked as she reached into her case and pulled out a folder.

"I thought our intentions were quite clear in our reports, Vicki. This is open and shut." Alexis replied as she put on her black rimmed glasses and opened up the case folder in front of her.

"Without a witness, Alexis, the state doesn't have anything to hold Mr. Corinthos on or any charges to bring against him."

"Oh but we do have enough to hold Mr. Corinthos for questioning in this murder, without the witness." Alexis replied as she peered over her glasses. "And according to my watch, we have him for another 32 hours." Alexis added hoping that within those hours, Zander would be able to remember if it was Sonny who shot his father or not.

"I'm going to let this slide for now, Alexis. I have yet to read over thoroughly the case, but Mr. Corinthos does have the right to counsel during questioning."

The phone on Alexis's desk rang a piercing sound and she quickly picked it up. "Davis." she answered. "I'll be right down." Alexis replied and jumped up from her seat.

"Let's go ... your client wants to talk." she said to Vicki as they both rushed out the door and down to the squad room.
