" Jason!" someone called him as he walked into Kelly's he turn to see who it was and held back to impulse to roll his eyes. "Elizabeth is everything okay" he asked figuring that the only reason she would need to talk to him is about Jake. "With Jake yes but with Sam no" she said starting to pout, "She attacked me yesterday her and Carly." Why does she come to me like I can control them he thought "well I'll try to talk to them but maybe you should try to avoid them" Jason suggested. "of course you would take their side" she said crossing her arms, "I'm the mother of you only son, you supposed to be there for me" "Elizabeth I'm only supposed to be there for you when it comes to Jake and I am, and you can use Jake against me when you don't want me around him" Jason said starting to get angry. "It's not that I don't want him near you I don't want him near the company you keep" she said with an eye roll. "At least the company he keeps is consistent unlike you who have a new daddy for them each week and a new baby every other year" a short blonde behind her said with disgust. "Hello Maxie" Jason said oh here we go he thought. "Hey Jason" Maxie said, "Why do you still talk to this thing" pointing to Liz. After being around each other for so long they started to actually care for each other which both shocked them, they thought of each other a brother and sister but if anyone asked they would deny it which made them like each other more. "Jason you are just going to stand there and let her talk to me like that" Liz whined. "Maxie please be nice" Jason plead he hoped she would back even though he secretly thought Liz deserved it and the only person who knew this was Maxie. Maxie smiled oh I'll be nice but I'm going to let this hoe know where I stand I Jason's life "okay brother dearest," leaning in and giving him a quick hug, "I was just here to pick up my order" she smiled and walked up to the counter and got her order "so I'll see you later at family Monday" she said as she walked out. He shook his head trying hard not to smile. "Is there anything else Liz? I need to get to work" he said ready to leave. "Well I see you busy," she said trying to make him feel guilty, "if anything I got your number" she said as she walked away. BUZZBUZZ "Morgan" "we got a situation" Johnny said. "I'm on my way" he said he hung and then grabbed his order and walked out.

"I understand ma'am I got all your information and I will contact you when I have some information" Sam said into the phone, "okay... Thank you... Bye" she said as she hung up the phone "humph" she said as she put her head on the desk. She was gone for a week and she has three new cases and she had to do it all by herself because her partner is too busy being the tail of a supermodel that's living in her boyfriend's house. "Think about how much your life sucks?" Carly asked while walking into the office. "Nope just thinking about how I need to learn how to lock the door" Sam said smiling. "Oh haha, i came to tell you something important." Carly said. "This couldn't wait till tonight?" Sam said curiously. "Nope it about a fragile Brenda" Carly said with a mischievous grin. "Oh do tell!" Sam said. "Well Seems like everyone's favorite model has been busy." Carly said, "apparently in 07 she and a certain cop, who is the son of a certain mobster, had an affair." "Wait Sonny's oldest son and his one true love were together, are you sure?" Sam asked she knows how Carly can be with her friends and family and she would do anything to get rid of anyone that might hurt or come between her and them. "Yes," she said setting photos on the desk, "and I want to hire you to find out more." She finished. Sam grabbed the photos it showed Dante and Brenda holding hands walking through a park, one with them kissing, and another of them coming out the hospital smiling. "Was someone watching them back then?" Sam asked. "Apparently yea" Carly said. "How did you get these" she asked going through them again. "someone sent them to me" she replied getting an envelope from her purse that the other part of your job I want you to find the person who sent this so I can send the flowers" she said laughing. "Well I'm in" Sam laughed, "but we can't tell Jason, Nik, Sonny or..." "or Jax" Carly finished. "Especially not jax, I want you marriage to last, I think you guys are meant to be and I know he would be pissed is he found out you were out to destroy her" Sam said. "Thanks," Carly smiled at her friend, "and that's why I'm hiring you to do it." She laughed. "Well I'll just have to keep this away from Jason and Spinelli" Sam said placing the pictures in her drawer and locking it with the only key, her key now that three secret cases she working on. "Don't worry about losing those I got copies" Carly informed her. "Of course you, so I could use a break how about we go to lunch at the metro court?" Sam suggested. "You just wanna get free," Carly laughed, "come on let go." Pulling her out the door.

"So how's business?" Sam asked before taking a bite out of chicken. "It great, we're expanding soon and I plan on opening another hotel but I haven't decided where" Carly said cutting into her fish. "Do you have any ideas" Sam asked. "A few but I was thinking of asking everyone there idea so when it's done we can all go as a family" Carly replied. "Well in that case Jason and I vote for Hawaii" Sam smile taking a sip of her iced tea. "Hey you guys, ask me about my day!" Maxie came up to them and took a seat while waving the waiter over. "So Maxie how was your day?" Sam asked looking at Carly and laughing. "Well it was great especially when I got Liz pissed" Maxie stated with a playful grin on her face. "And may I ask how you did that?" Carly asked curiously. "well I walked into Kelly's and she was talking to Jason about defending you and Sam and he told her to avoid you guys, then I asked Jason why he still talked to that and then she tried to get him to defend her so he asked me to be nice so I called in brother and reminded him about family night you guys should've seen her face she looked like she ate a lemon" she said all in one breath. "Oh I wish I was there to see that" Sam said laughing. "Me too" Carly agreed. BEEPBEEPBEEP "Hello.. What?.. I'm on my way" Carly hung up the phone. "What's going on?" Maxie and Sam asked at the same time. "Sonny's been shot" she said.
