A warehouse
"Thanks for all your help, Roy," Kellie said.
"You're welcome," Roy said, "Just keep me updated on the situation."
"I guess you know after last night's events, I'm," Kellie began.
"Working with Jason Morgan," Roy said, "I knew that before you ever came to town. Everyone outside Port Charles knows you and Morgan are close. Your beef with Alcazar is smoke and mirrors. If your father wasn't as deaf, dumb, and blind as you say he is, he'd know better. I would assume Alcazar is involved as deep in this as you and Morgan are, correct?"
"Yes," Kellie said.
"Good, Frankly, I'm relieved you aren't flying solo on this," Roy said, "I've been in contact with Alcazar's men as well. They seem to have the communications mess under control on their end with a few minor exceptions."
"Planning to double check things with them?" Kellie asked.
Roy nodded, "The D.A. also said to inform you no charges were being filed against Morgan and he'd appreciate it if you'd get out of town."
Kellie laughed, "And I'll be someone else's problem."
"Apparently, you're a problem for someone," Roy said, "You do realize that."
"I was supposed to die last night according to someone else's timetable," Kellie said.
"I don't mean to treat you like a rookie," Roy said.
"I'm used to it," Kellie said, "The men in my life know I'm capable, but feel the need to watch my back at all times. Except for my father, he'd like me out of this business altogether."
"Nice to know Sonny hasn't changed in that respect," Roy said, "Now is there anything else you need before you leave?"
"Your attorney," Kellie said, "Just keep an eye out on him. If things escalate, he could become a target. I can't really say why."
"Can't or won't?" Roy asked, "I find it interesting that your name is Kellie Riley Corinthos and the name of Tyler's dead fiancée was Kellie Riley. The resemblance between the two of you is uncanny. You even have the same birthday. Anyone who did their research might wonder if you're the same person."
Kellie said, "Does he know?"
"He doesn't even suspect you're the same person," Roy said, "From what I can tell, you two are completely different people from who you were then. I don't think the idea of his ex shaking hands with the people you do would set too well with him."
"I noticed Tyler's above getting his hands dirty," Kellie said, "If I didn't know, I'd never have guessed he worked for us. Of course, now he's just a class act jerk as well."
"Are you planning to tell him?" Roy asked.
"I'd rather not," Kellie said, "It's a can of rattlesnakes."
"Can you live with him finding out from someone else?" Roy asked, "That could happen."
"I'll do what I have to do," Kellie said, "Just make sure he doesn't die."
"Who doesn't die?" Tyler asked, coming in.
"Your sorry butt," Kellie said, "Someone might come after you since you witnessed the attempted hit last night. They might be afraid you know something."
"Why would you care?" Tyler said, "Except maybe to finish what we started before we were interrupted last night."
"You mean I'd actually get to kick your ass this time," Kellie said, "Because that's exactly what would have happened if I hadn't had to save it, city boy. As for caring, I don't, I just don't want your death on my conscience because you got hit by bullet meant for me. Anyway, Roy, I'm outta here."
Kellie left.
"Good, she's gone," Tyler said, "I hope you're not working with her because she's working with the enemy."
"You mean Jason Morgan," Roy said.
"They handcuffed me to a bed and tortured me to keep me silent," Tyler said.
"You're limping again, Kellie did a number on your groin again," Roy asked.
"Shut up," Tyler said.
"Did you piss one or both of them off," Roy said, "Because irritating one of them off is bad enough, but having them both irritated at you is hazardous to your health."
"She's still working with the enemy," Tyler said.
"Kellie and Morgan are like brother and sister," Roy said, "Most everyone knows they have each other backs regardless of what side they're on. You saw an example of that last night."
"She's still the enemy," Tyler said.
"Tyler, quit acting like you understand the politics going on here because you don't," Roy said, "Alcazar and Corinthos have had a tentative truce for the last couple years. Neither one of them benefits from working against each other or starting a war. If this organization falls apart completely, Alcazar's organization is standing wide open for takeover. Working with Alcazar is in everyone's best interest."
"Why do I feel like I'm going to be sick?" Tyler asked.
"Maybe it's the images of a dead body running through your head," Roy said, "Are you gonna faint? If not go, check with Arnold and double check to make sure we're covered legally as far as the shooting last night goes."
