Kellie was about to down her first shot of tequila when someone came from behind her and swiped it.

"Not tonight," a voice said from behind her.

Kellie turned around to find Jordan, dressed down in a t-shirt and jeans, drinking her shot.

"Do your duties as D.A. include policing alcohol consumption?" Kellie replied, motioning for Coleman to pour her another shot.

"If you think I'm going to let you get drunk and self-destruct after what happened today?" Jordan said, "Think again."

Coleman handed Kellie the shot and she drank it before Jordan could stop her.

"You can't stop me," Kellie said.

"I really don't want to watch you start throwing things," Jordan said, "I don't think anyone else does either. Besides, what if Garrett's watching and you can't defend yourself."

"Didn't you hear, I have full array of guards now," Kellie said, "Bring me another shot, Coleman."

"You can't afford to let your guard down just the same," Jordan said, "You can't leave town. Corinthos won't drop his lawsuit. Scorpio won't call in favors, probably to use you as bait. And the world is one step closer to knowing your secrets."

"I don't care if Scorpio uses me as bait," Kellie said, "I want Garrett back in prison. I just wish we'd do it in another town," Kellie said as Coleman brought her the shot.

Jordan tried to grab it but Kellie had drank half the shot before he could get it away from here.

"I want my tequila back," Kellie said.

"Here's the deal," Jordan said, "One game of pool. You win, you can get drunk."

"And if you win?" Kellie asked.

"No more drinking for you," Jordan said, "and you owe me a dance."

"Fine, but you have to finish that shot," Kellie said, "Make a it level playing field and all."

Jordan drank the rest of the shot back and they headed for the pool table

Sonny sat in the living room replaying the events of the day in his mind.

"As much as I dislike J.D. here," Kellie said, "Even I have to admit he's a force to be reckoned with in a courtroom. I'd watch your back if I were you."

"I'm not worried," Sonny said, "I'm not the one would just admitted to deceit in a court room."

"You don't get it," Kellie said, smiling and walking away.

"Think, think," Sonny said to himself.

"Sonny," Jason said, "Is everything okay?"

"I don't know," Sonny said, "There's something familiar about Kellie."

"She is Alcazar's niece," Jason said, "That's probably what."

"No," Sonny said, "In the courthouse, after the hearing, she offered opinions on Durant's son, when she left she said 'You don't get it.' When she said that, there was something in the way she smiled and walked away that reminded me of someone."

"Who?" Jason asked.

"I can't place it," Sonny said.

"Right now," Jason said, "We have to focus on other things. I had Stan and Spinelli find out everything they could about Garrett Esoterra. You need to drop this thing with Carly and let Kellie leave town. You can't win."

"I think the fact the she admitted to deceiving everyone under oath works in my favor," Sonny said.

"Once everyone finds out you committed purgery," Jason said, "She'll look like a saint. But that's not the point."

"Then what is the point?" Sonny said.

"Garrett thinks he is entitled to the Esoterra Estate and Kellie," Jason said.

"What does that have to do with us?" Sonny asked, "Let them duke it out."

"If the battle between Garret and Kellie takes place in Port Charles," Jason said, "What's to stop him from going after us, Alcazar, the other families. That's trouble we don't need. If you drop this, Kellie will leave town. Garrett will follow her."

"He's on the run from the authorities," Sonny said, "Do you really think he'll be around long enough to do that kind of damage?"

"I don't want to take the chance and find out," Jason said.

"I'll come back later," Diane said, entering the room.

"Hold on a minute," Jason said, "You're not getting off so easy, Diane. You represented Garrett Esoterra in the fight over his brother's estate."

"I can't tell you anything about that case," Diane said.

"What about Garrett and Ethan for that matter?" Jason said.

"What I can tell you is Kellie was a gold digger," Diane said, "She was responsible for her husband's death and she cheated her brother-in-law out of the inheritance."

"Diane," Jason said, "Everything, I've found on the Esoterra brothers says they probably got what they deserved. I highly doubt the government would use Kellie if she was a gold digger."

"If you don't want to take my word for it," Diane said, "That's on your head. We'll talk later, Sonny."

"Jason, Kellie's hiding something," Sonny said, "She lied about Luis being her father for a reason. It had nothing to do with the work she does for Scorpio otherwise she wouldn't have admitted to it under oath. Find out who her mother is. That is the key to bringing her down."

"I have Stan and Spinelli working on that," Jason said, "But with out a name, it's a little difficult."

"Well, then they need to work harder," Sonny said.

"Sonny, step back and assess the facts of the situation," Jason said, "Because your obsession with getting Carly back is taking over your life. Carly doesn't love you like that anymore. You have to face reality instead of going a after the person who helped her get the divorce at the expense of the business."

"We're fine," Sonny said, "Business is good."

"You going after this girl knowing she has friends in the government who wouldn't hesitate to bring us down," Jason said, "knowing she could bring trouble we didn't want, and now when that trouble shows up, you still insist on seeing this through."

"If he causes a problem, we'll take care of it," Sonny said.

"We wouldn't have to if you would stop this obsession of yours," Jason said, "I just hope you realize what you're doing before it's too late."

Jason left.
