A/N: This takes place two years after "Trouble Always Finds Me." See profile for more information.
A girl in a baseball cap with brown hair pulled back into a pony tail stood outside Kelly's. She hesitated before entering. She sat down at the counter, pretending to be interested in the menu.
"Can I get you something?" Mike asked.
"How about a cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate milkshake, Grandpa," Kellie said, looking Mike in the eye.
Kellie watched the shock register on Mike's face. "Never thought you'd see me around these parts again did you?"
"Maybe," Mike said, "Finally decided to settle down and get to know everyone."
"Something like that," Kellie said,
"I will say that your letters were very vague and few and far between, young lady," Mike said.
"Let just say Spencer was right when he'd said I miss the adventure," Kellie said, "I'm not sure whether to thank him or knock him out cold when I see him for giving me Robert Scorpio's number if I got bored."
"Top secret espionage, saving the world, I take it," Mike said, "Trouble didn't follow you this time."
"Trouble doesn't follow me anymore," Kellie said, "I follow it."
"You taking a break from your double life?" Mike asked.
Kellie shrugged, "Do you have a room with my name on it?"
"Just for a week," Mike said, "then the new tenant moves in."
"Can I use it while I make other arrangements?" Kellie asked.
"I don't see why not," Mike said.
"So how is everyone?" Kellie asked.
"Michael was finally sent to military school," Mike said.
"I'm not surprised," Kellie said, "He had some obedience issues when I was here if I recall correctly."
"Of course, Carly is going overboard with Morgan being a stricter mom," Mike said, "Morgan will be excited to see you. So will Kristina. They ask about you a lot."
"Don't you know I mailed the rugrats presents when I could," Kellie said.
"I know," Mike said, "Drove Sonny nuts because he couldn't use them to trace you. You've successfully pushed my son's buttons during your absence."
"Believe me it was traceable," Kellie said.
"But Jason was never able to track you after you left or from the packages," Mike said. Kellie smirked."He did track you and left Sonny in the dark?"
"Partially that along with working for the WSB," Kellie said, "I've been in contact with Jason on and off. I asked him not to sic Sonny on me. They were kind of on the outs last I heard."
"Jason no longer works for Sonny," Mike said, "Emily's death was part of it and He and Sam had a baby 5 months ago. A little boy, Danny."
"They had a baby?" Kellie said, "I've been underground for the last the year. Are they still in here Port Charles?"
"Penthouse," Mike said, "Which Sonny's old penthouse is vacant, you might see about using that."
"I'll look into it," Kellie said, "Don't tell daddy dearest I'm here. I want to see how long it takes Sonny to figure out I'm here."
"Pushing Sonny's buttons is a game to you isn't it?" Mike said.
"It's so much fun," Kellie said, "I will see you around. Thanks for the food."
"Don't be a stranger," Mike said as he handed her a key, "That's the key to your room."
"Thanks," Kellie said, leaving.
