Miami, a lawyer's office

The next day

A brown haired man was sleeping in his office chair, his feet propped up on the desk. The phone rang, startling him, and causing him to knock papers and books off his desk.

He answered the phone, "Hello, Scott here."

"Hey, Tyler. It's Ric Lansing," the voice on the other end said, "It sounds like I woke you up."

"No,yes," Tyler said, "Don't mind me. I slept at the office."

"Get in a fight with what's her name?" Ric asked, "Isn't the office a little far? Wouldn't the couch have been fine?"

"I caught her in bed with another man," Tyler said.

"She seemed shallow, anyway," Ric said, "at least that was my impression of her at the conference last year."

"I take it you got my letter," Tyler said, "What do you know?"

"I really don't know anything," Ric said, "I am calling you to tell you to expect my niece, Sonny's daughter, to show up in the next few days."

"Mr. Corinthos is letting a woman oversee things these days?" Tyler asked.

"She also wants a meeting with you, Roy Di Lucca, and your accountant," Ric said.

"What's her name?" Tyler said.

"Kellie Corinthos," Ric said, "I'll warn you her mouth is a weapon all it's own. She's a hellion of sorts."

"It sounds like she'd have to be to get Mr. Corinthos to let her be involved in the business. As long as she knows what she's doing," Tyler said, "That's all that matters. Is this the daughter that showed up out of the blue a couple years ago and disappeared?"

"Kellie returned to Port Charles just recently," Ric said.

"How have you been?" Tyler asked.

"Same old thing," Ric said, "Enjoying my wife and kids. You know if you're ever up near Port Charles, you can stop by for drink."

"I may take you up sooner than you think on that," Tyler said. There was a knock at the door.

"Just a second," Tyler yelled. "I gotta go."

"Hold on sec," Ric said, "I'm supposed to give you Kellie's number. Call her if you have any questions."

"Thanks, Ric," Tyler said, "Hanging up."

Roy Di Lucca entered the office.

"Have you heard from Sonny's brother?" Roy asked.

"I just got off the phone with him," Tyler said, "Kellie Corinthos is supposed to show up here in the next few days."

"His estranged daughter?" Roy asked.

"Apparently not so estranged these days," Tyler said.

"Did Ric say who he talked to?" Roy asked.

"No," Tyler said, "He did say though that Miss Corinthos was the one who wants to meet with us."

"Call him back and ask him," Roy said.

Tyler picked up the phone and dialed the number, "Hey Ric, it's Tyler here."

"What's up?" Ric asked.

"Who did you talk to get the information on Kellie coming?" Tyler asked.

"Kellie told me," Ric said.

"Where did she get the order from?" Tyler asked.

"I don't know," Ric said, "You'll have to ask her."

"Alright, thanks," Tyler said, hanging up.

"He got it from Kellie," Tyler says, "He says he doesn't know where the order came from."

"I can't see Corinthos sending a woman, especially his own daughter," Roy said, "That's not like him."

"We can't check with his top people because we can't get through to them," Tyler said.

"I say let her come," Roy said.

Tyler just stared at him.

"Miss Corinthos has her own reputation apart from her father," Roy said. "She's not in this business because it's a game or looking for Daddy's attention."

"Ric gave me her number," Tyler said, "Do you want me to call her?"

"I'll do that," Roy said, "I'm going to send you a file on her most recent activities. You need to be up to speed on who she is. You'll be her guide so to speak while she's here. Make sure she has everything she needs."

"No problem," Tyler said.

"Did you sleep in the office?" Roy asked, heading out.

"Go away," Tyler said.
