Ric and Tyler got up to leave. Kellie walked over.
"Uncle Ric," Kellie said, "Are you on speaking terms with my father these days?"
"Honestly, no" Ric said, "Not because I betrayed him either. Why?"
"I need to get some information to him," Kellie said, "And right now Sonny and I are not on speaking terms."
"That's what happens when you consort with the enemy," Tyler said.
"By your standards, aren't you consorting with the enemy by trying to get into my pants?" Kellie said.
"Tyler, why don't you wait outside while I talk with my niece," Ric said.
"Fine," Tyler said, heading out.
"This isn't illegal, is it?" Ric asked.
"No," Kellie said, "Tell him Mike's in the hospital and that he needs to go see him. I figure he might go if it doesn't come from me."
"Mike's gonna be fine right?" Ric asked.
"Cancer," Kellie said, shaking her head, "Apparently, he's known for quite awhile. I had to coax it out of him when Monica told me that Mike put a gag order on the entire hospital staff."
"One of the few times, Mike got to experience your mouth at its finest or worst depending on how you look at it?" Ric asked.
"I told him I normally didn't beat up hospital patients but for him I'd make an exception." Kellie said.
"Has anyone gotten in touch with Jax," Ric asked, "See if he can bring John so Mike can see his grandson one last time."
"I'll talk to Carly, I guess," Kellie said, "He still owns part of the Metro Court right?"
"Yeah," Ric said, "He went to Australia because Nicholas Cassadine deluded himself into thinking that John was his. He's gotten therapy, but Jax still doesn't trust him."
"Is Tyler staying at the Metro Court?" Kellie asked, "I have to discuss some business matters with him."
"Isn't he on vacation?" Ric asked.
"Yes," Kellie said, "Don't ask. It's complicated."
"In other words, you just don't want to talk about it," Ric said, "Take care of yourself, okay." He left.
