Lorenzo's apartment
"If you're here looking for information about Kellie Riley," Lorenzo said, "I'll tell you the same thing I told your boss, if you mess with her, she'll make you wish you were dead."
"I didn't expect you be cooperative in feeding us information on Kellie," Jason said, "Based on what little I can find out, I have no interest in provoking her."
"I can see you're a fast learner," Lorenzo said.
"Sonny is a different story," Jason said, "His only focus is getting Carly back and teaching Kellie a lesson."
"How does he plan on doing that?" Lorenzo asked, "Aside from keeping her in town indefinitely."
"He put me in charge of finding out what secrets she has we could use against her," Jason said.
"Good luck," Lorenzo scoffed.
"Look," Jason said, "I didn't have to come and pass along the warning, but I have no desire for whatever Sonny has planned to cause problems. I'll try to talk Sonny out of it, so we can get back to our lives in peace such as it is."
"Hey Uncle Lo," both men heard coming from outside the door as Kellie walked in.
Jason and Kellie just stared at each other.
"Someone should have told me we had company before I said something I shouldn't have," Kellie said.
"You're Alcazar's niece," Jason said, "There's no way in hell I shouldn't have picked up on that."
"News flash," Kellie said, "We're not in hell and it is possible."
"This has to be some attempt at revenge on Sonny," Jason said, "You brought your niece here to help Carly as a way to get to Sonny."
"I didn't even know she was here until she showed up at the hospital for two seconds and left," Lorenzo said, "If it wasn't for Corinthos's court order that would have been the last I saw of her for who knows how long."
"You expect me to believe that?" Jason said, "You probably helped her erase her past too."
"My uncle had nothing to with Carly getting a divorce," Kellie said, "And he's not the one who erased my past before I was married."
"Why are you in Port Charles?" Jason said.
"I was passing through," Kellie said, "And before you ask, Uncle Lo and I don't exactly have the best relationship. I really wasn't here to visit him. That happened by accident."
"I know you showed up in Port Charles as the hostage crisis ended," Jason said, "I have to wonder what you had to do with it."
"Absolutely nothing," Kellie said.
"I don't believe you," Jason said.
"The hostage crisis is over," Kellie said, "The death of Greg, Craig or whatever his name is pretty much laid it to rest. From what I understand, the former D.A. did us all a favor by killing him, sending himself to prison in the process."
"There is no way you could have possibly covered all your tracks," Jason said, "I will find out what you were doing in Port Charles."
"There's nothing to find," Kellie said, "I suggest you put your energies in to something actually worth your time like protecting your investments."
"Are you threatening?" Jason began to ask.
"I'm not threatening anything," Kellie said, "There are forces at work, none of us have any control over. When the dust clears, things will be a lot different. Now unless you actually have something important to say, I suggest you leave."
"If you have any secrets," Jason said, "You better hope Sonny doesn't find out about them."
Jason left.
"Is there something you'd like to tell me?" Lorenzo asked as Jordan entered the room.
"Are you stalking me?" Kellie asked, "You seem to show up wherever I am."
"You wish," Jordan said.
"Would you care to introduce me to your friend?" Lorenzo asked.
"We're not friends," Kellie said.
"I'm Jordan Durant," Jordan answered, "I'm the new D.A."
"Before you ask," Kellie said, "He's John Durant's son."
"To what do I owe the pleasure of your company?" Lorenzo asked.
"I'm just getting acquainted with all the major players in town," Jordan said.
"A friendly little warning that you're gunning for me," Lorenzo said.
"Take it however you want," Jordan said and left.
"You two have met before," Lorenzo said.
"He's a former agent," Kellie said, "He went to law school, got tired of following in his father's footsteps, and became an agent."
"Obviously he's not an agent anymore," Lorenzo said, "What happened?"
"He couldn't handle that life," Kellie said, "The cloak and dagger, all the undercover. The stress got to him. He blew his cover and mine on his last assignment. I was able to do damage control. But after that his career with the agency was over."
"Is he anything like Durant?" Lorenzo asked.
"He can be just as abrasive as Durant," Kellie said, "But he has a higher set of morals than his father ever did. He's also better in a courtroom than Durant was."
"I should be worried," Lorenzo said, "I assume he'll be gunning for me in this town."
"Corinthos and the other families should be worried" Kellie said, "Not you. Just because Jordan is no longer an agent, doesn't mean he can't be useful in other ways."
"Like bringing down alleged criminals," Lorenzo said, "Why would he leave me alone?"
"There was talk awhile back about getting rid of the mob element in this town," Kellie said, "and setting it up like my businesses are set up. They look mob related, but are really a front for government work. The fact that Jordan is here as the new D.A. tells me they may be setting things up to do just that."
"So it's safe to assume that you'll be involved in this operation," Lorenzo said.
"I can't touch this one," Kellie said, "I risk being a conflict of interest and having any evidence I were to collect thrown out of court."
"Because of your connection to me," Lorenzo said.
"Partially," Kellie said, "Obviously the fact that we're related won't stay a secret for long. If anyone asks, I'm Luis's daughter."
"Your past is effectively erased," Lorenzo said, "Why would you?"
"It's complicated," Kellie said, "Although I'm a ghost on paper, doesn't mean some of my secrets can't be exposed if people like Morgan start connecting the dots using other people."
"I'll fill Skye in," Lorenzo said, reluctantly, "I suggest you make sure everyone has their stories straight."
The Docks
"What's up?" Carly asked.
"I need a favor," Kellie asked.
"What is it?" Carly asked.
"If anyone asks," Kellie said, "I'm Luis's daughter."
"But your not," Carly said.
"It's a long story," Kellie said, "The whole town will know soon that I'm an Alcazar. I can't do anything about that. Your ex is determined to go digging for any secrets. Granted, I'm basically a ghost on paper. But if his people are thorough, they could get information on me through other people."
"Here's the deal," Carly said, "I'll tell the world whatever you want as long you tell me what went down between you and my brother."
"Fine," Kellie said, slightly annoyed.
"So spill," Carly said.
"We dated for awhile," Kellie said, "But I screwed things up between us."
"It can't be that bad," Carly said.
"When I was married to Ethan, I was expected to have sex with him," Kellie said, "When Ethan wasn't around his brother thought he was entitled to use me. After Ethan's death, I gained a reputation for being easy. I slept around a lot for awhile to prove to myself that I wasn't damaged."
"But what does this have to do with my brother?" Carly asked.
"If Jordan and I had gone all the way, it would have been the first time I'd had sex because I really wanted to," Kellie said, "When things got heavy between us, I didn't know how to deal with that. So I shut down and broke things off."
"In other words, you got defensive," Carly said, "and made the situation worse than it needed to be."
"You know what," Kellie said, "It's in past. It doesn't matter."
"Whatever you say," Carly said.
"You'll keep my secrets then?" Kellie asked.
"Sure," Carly said, smiling as she walked away.
Greystone
"I have lead on Kellie," Jason told Sonny, "But you won't like it."
"Get to the point," Sonny said.
"She's Alcazar's niece," Jason said, "I went to see Alcazar to try get information. Kellie walked in, calling him uncle, not realizing I was there."
"So he brought her here to interfere with my marriage as payback," Sonny said, throwing his drink against the wall, "He will pay."
"Just calm down," Jason said.
"How did you and Stan miss that?" Sonny yelled.
"I don't know," Jason said, "Its probably related to the whoever's erased her past."
"Alcazar probably did it," Sonny said, "Thinking we wouldn't trace her to him."
"I don't think Alcazar's even that good," Jason said, "I'm starting to think that she might have connections to the government."
"You mean the same one's Alcazar has," Sonny asked, "Her businesses aren't located in the U.S. at all."
"Her husband was reported to be killed by political rivals," Jason said, "What if that wasn't the case? What if the government stepped in, made things happen and Kellie helped them. When all was said and done she had to work for them, running the businesses, even freelance work."
"You're starting to sound like a conspiracy theorist," Sonny said.
"You have to admit," Jason said, "It's possible. It explains why her past is unfindable. The freelance work would explain why she was in Port Charles. She probably had something to do with the Metro Court situation."
"Then find out what it is," Sonny said, "Then she could be arrested."
"She probably had something to do with the clean up," Jason said, "I don't think she could be arrested."
"Then find something," Sonny ordered, "Her being Alcazar's niece doesn't give me anything to work with."
"Sonny, if she's working for the government, do you really want to try anything other than what you already have with," Jason said, "Or draw attention to ourselves, making our operations a priority for the government to watch? Think about that."
Jason left.
The Docks
Kellie stared out over the water.
"Do I have you to thank for the multiple messages left on my voicemail?" a voice asked from behind her.
Kellie turned around to find Jordan approaching her.
"Let me guess," Kellie said, "Carly."
"You gave her my number didn't you?" Jordan asked, "I hope you realize she's trying to play matchmaker. She called me, insisted I come here, and when I get here she's leaving with some bogus excuse about her kid being sick."
"She annoys you," Kellie said, "It's a good enough reason for me aside from the fact you went and dug around in my past."
"Scorpio had me look through your files before I came here," Jordan said, "He thought I should be up to speed on certain things before I took over as D.A."
"What exactly were you referring to when you said the conflict of interest had nothing to do with my uncle?" Kellie asked.
"Your father," Jordan said hesitantly.
"But how.." Kellie started to ask.
"Its in the file Scorpio has on you," Jordan said, "You weren't the only one who wanted to know who he was."
"I know I have no right to ask anything of you," Kellie said, "But as far as anyone's concerned I'm Luis's daughter."
"Your past is erased," Jordan said, "But if your mother's name became common knowledge, it's a whole new ball game. Despite what I said earlier, that's your business, no one will hear the truth from me."
"Thanks," Kellie said, "I appreciate it. I just want out of this town. It keeps getting smaller by the minute."
"You're telling me," Jordan said, "If I have to hear one more person ask me about my father, I'm liable to commit homicide."
"You had to know people would ask when you took this job," Kellie said, snidely "So why are you complaining?"
"And we're right back at each other throats," Jordan said.
"There's no sense in pretending," Kellie said, "Besides you can't exactly be buddy buddy with me being as big of a conflict of interest as I am."
"With any luck you'll be gone before things are set in motion," Jordan said.
"I should be," Kellie said, "The hearings in about a month. Then I can leave."
"In the meantime, we'll trade insults," Jordan said.
"Admit it; you enjoy it on a disturbing level," Kellie laughed, shoving him a little, "Why else would you bait me?"
"You're going to pay for that," Jordan said, lunging at Kellie.
Kellie ran and Jordan backed her against the building.
"I overheard your conversation with Carly," Jordan said.
"What part?" Kellie asked.
"The part about us, why you backed off," Jordan replied, running his fingers through her hair.
"Jordan…I didn't mean," Kellie started to say.
"I'm the one who should be apologizing," Jordan said, "It never occurred to me that you might have issues because of your past. I just assumed that because you'd been easy in the past."
"I turned ice cold," Kellie interrupted, "It wasn't like…"
Before she could finish the sentence, Jordan had covered her mouth with his.
Kellie wrapped her arms around his neck. Jordan pulled Kellie's body up against his.
After a minute, they both pulled back.
"I missed you," Jordan said.
"We can't though," Kellie said, "Not right now anyway."
"I know," Jordan said, "Maybe when this is done, we could try."
"Maybe," Kellie said, "I should go. My uncle expects me home for dinner."
"I'll see you around," Jordan said, moving so Kellie could pass by him.
From behind the warehouse, Carly silently cheered and left before anyone saw her.
