Damian Spinelli sends an urgent message to attorney Diane Miller. The computer hacker asks her to meet him at the Metro Court bar at ten PM. He has grave matters to discuss about her clients. When Diane arrives, Spinelli tells her stories about Port Charles residents that stretch belief. His tales involve intrigue, kidnapping, and murder. They span locations from the Smilin' Lila deck to General Hospital corridors. Spinelli recounts cases including the Vamping Valkyrie and the Contrived Contralto. Diane wonders if these stories are real or if Spinelli wants something else from her. The Spinelli/McCall private investigation office handles more cases than ever. Spinelli works as an unusual detective who protects Port Charles citizens no matter what dangers arise.
