Jason was coming to understand her more. The nuances of the way she operated and thought while she was in working mode. If she wore one of those black pantsuits it meant she knew she was going for a hit. Navy she was working but not planning on anything. Made sense. Black concealed a lot. He also saw that it wasn't just the color of the suit. He didn't know the different designers by sight, except Armani. He peeked at the label while he was snooping in her closet. He knew if he ever saw that suit, exactly what was going to happen. She wore loafers instead of heels since the day she went to Miami. That was smart and he understood the reason behind it. That was the thing that confirmed her intentions of the first trip in his mind. She knew what she was doing. He just had no clue she knew it so well until she returned.

So when Jason looked toward the stairs and saw her calmly walking down with black gloved hands wrapped around the handle of a metal case about the size of a trumpet case he knew what was coming. The clothes sent him a message too but he didn't have all of it. Her hair was slicked back in the tight chignon again. He hadn't seen that since the first day. Functional for her and distracting to others. He approved. Black ankle boots with 4 inch spiked heels caught his attention first during his inspection. The rest of the wardrobe followed. No suit this time. Black stretch pants of some kind, a black top and a black leather jacket. Nothing close to a biker look. This was classy and dangerous at the same time. It was sexy and scary as hell at the same time. It was intended to send Sonny a message. But it also reflected her mood and her mission. He was getting a kick out of her clothes quirk and wondered if she did the same thing to him when picking out his clothes. He'd start paying attention to that. Whatever she was, she was prepared.

"You look good."

She took a moment to check him out like she used to in the old days. Back then that's the first thing he got before a hello. It drove him crazy and made him smile at the same time. Caroline Spencer wasn't the only one dressed for work. She didn't know if Jason did on accident or if it was calculated but it worked. She figures its instinct by now. He had a message for Sonny as well. No jeans, t-shirt and leather jacket these days. Sonny set up a soldier in Port Charles to fend for himself. Today he would meet the Commander in Chief. Custom tailored Hugo Boss. Black. Fierce and sexy too. But more in a natural an unaffected way than anything intentional. His hair was slicked back instead of in the spiky look he most often wore. The sleeves were a tad longer at the wrist, by design, than usual. Open collar dark grey shirt. The jacket was much longer in length than customary. And the pants did everything for him they should. She gave him a long, open appraising twice over and he did not attempt to hurry her inspection one bit. He looked dangerous and sexy, she couldn't deny it.

It was unconscious and she didn't catch it but he did. When she raised her head to meet his eye she licked her lips before speaking.

"You too."

That was all they said. Neither one of them were aware of the intense heat they were throwing off or the crackling of energy in the air as they continued to stare at each other, not even realizing they were staring. But others did. Rey and Johnny walked in on this scene and made eye contact. They saw a train wreck coming even if those two didn't. At some point they were going to collide. Neither suspected the fall out would hurt so they didn't say anything. Their arrival broke the spell so Jason and Caroline turned to join them without a word.

The warehouse was deathly quiet. The floor was lined wall to wall with industrial plastic. Sonny was tied to a folding chair, blindfolded and gaged. A table just to the left and forward of him so that he could not help but see everything on it. There was nothing on it, though. Directly in front of Sonny was another chair. Much more comfortable. One of the masked guards stood behind him. Waiting. Jason took a few moments to size up his prey. He needed information and he was going to get it. Then he sat down with Rey and Johnny standing right behind him. He motioned for the guard to lift the blindfold but keep the gag in place, then leave. It took a few moments for Sonny's vision to clear and his eyes to adjust to the light. Once he focused on the sight before him his expression gave him away. It clearly screamed 'oh shit'. But that was only after the full realization set in. If he was sitting before Jason, the plan didn't work and Jason knew everything. Or enough to know it was bad for him.

Sonny thought quickly, trying to go over all his options. He was still pretty messed up from the trip and wanted to know who the hell thought of putting him in a coffin. He knew how Jason operated. Pain. The look was intimidating but he hoped it wouldn't hold up considering their past. He also hoped Jason didn't know enough. Maybe one or two things could save him. Then he considered who he was dealing with and dismissed that. Fine, he'd die quietly and Jason wouldn't get whatever information he needed.

Finally a sound. It caused Jason to smile but it was eery the way he did it. When Sonny looked up he saw that Rey and Johnny were smiling too. Johnny's was a little too wide. He knew exactly what that was. That's when it all clicked for Jason. She planned it that way too. Tap, tap, tap, tap. The only sound in the warehouse echoing off the walls. It was more than creepy. The pace was measured so he knew it was for effect. Jason Morgan was loving this.

Still, Jason said nothing. It was 10 minutes since the blindfold was removed and he hadn't spoken once. His facial expression didn't change nor did he move a muscle the entire time. Impassive and neutral. Even the eyes were blank. All the while that tap, tap, tap, tap sound grew louder and louder. Sonny could not help it. He turned in the direction he thought it was coming from to see what was going on. He never saw anything like this. Not even in Brooklyn. Joe Scully didn't teach him this and he didn't teach this to Jason. Then Sonny considered there were a lot of things he didn't teach Jason that he knew. Even when he worked for Sonny. Still, he wanted to know what that damn sound was and why it caused Jason Morgan to smile.

Confused was not the word for it. A woman. What the hell would a woman be doing here? That meant this was intimidation and Jason was going to let him go. Fine he could deal with a few bruises then get out of town fast. When she got closer, he recognized who it was. After the amazement wore off he laughed. The sound was muffled beneath the gag but everyone knew what that was.

[Carly! He's stupider than I thought. She'll have him with the feds before I get back to Greece.]

Sonny thought she probably conned her way in because of the Spencer angle. Then wondered about Luke. No, none of this was Luke's style. And he wouldn't have ever thought to look for him with Helena. Luke would've just put a bullet in him and been done with it. He didn't know. Sonny relaxed more, he knew he was safe. But Sonny was Sonny so he couldn't let it go. Jason cleaned up nice. Dressed much different from the last time they were together. He figured that was Carly's influence. Pick up a few things for Jason while she was spending the rest of his money. But clothes don't make the man. Sonny turned to Jason and actually had the audacity to smirk in ridicule and condescension. He was starting to get his game back.

No one spoke. She had some case in her hand and that drew his attention right to the table. If he'd stopped to think about it, it might have occurred to Sonny that all of this was by design. He didn't so it did not. Slowly, carefully, she lifted the lid and began removing its contents. A black velvet drape cloth. He wondered if it was a picnic lunch. But then something started clicking in his mind. He took a good look at the woman. The way she was dressed. Sexy as hell but there was something else going on. She didn't speak to anyone and they didn't speak to her. Next a flat leather case about the size of a shaving kit. Scalpel came first, followed by a wide and varied assortment of other—instruments. Then something no one could figure out what it was until she held it up in the light and pushed a button. The noise and movement immediately let them all know it was a mini bone saw. Jason had to give it to her. She did intimidation as well as he did. Just different. Even with all that creepy stuff she was pulling out of her case, she was sort of delicate. That's when he realized the true value of a qualified woman in this business. Feminine and lethal made a strange and unusual combination. The effect was overwhelming.

Sonny's eyes were riveted to what was going on so he did not completely absorb the personal implications of it. When she pulled out the garotte it was all Johnny could do not to turn his head to Rey with the 'I told you so' look. She assembled and loaded three nine millimeters then attached silencers to each of them. The last thing she did was pull out two pair of latex gloves and set them on the table before turning her attention back to the case and retracting a pair of goggles. Goggles? Rey knew it was going to be bad. Once everything from her portable shop of horrors was in place she closed the lid and moved the case aside. This offered everyone a perfect view of the torture buffet. Johnny really hoped he would have to see the vocal cords again. Unfortunately, this was Jason and Caroline. Yeah, he figured they'd be coming. But since Sonny needed them to sing, it would be after getting all the information so he relaxed.

She turned to look at Jason waiting for his instructions. He gave her a crooked smile before motioning her to remove Sonny's gag. She walked right up to Sonny and pulled a knife from somewhere no one saw then moved to the side so she did not block the view for the others. She ran the blade semi seductively along the gag covered portion of his cheek.. Sonny's eyes bulged. All guys were like that. She stopped before he got a hard on. She didn't want to see that. Then she slipped the blade under the gag and cut it free still holding it to his face. In that moment, Sonny Corinthos knew a hell of a lot of things changed in Port Charles since he left.

Jason waited him out. He knew Sonny wouldn't be able to hold it in. Caroline moved back to her position near the table and looked to Jason. He turned to Sonny and continued to stare. No one could remain silent as long as Jason Morgan. It used to drive her crazy from a personal perspective. She never worked with him before, though. She had to admit he was good. That ability is priceless in their business. Sonny finally caved.

"Jason, what's going on?"

He didn't have much in him and he was holding on to what little he had left. If Jason didn't start talking soon Sonny was going to go nuts. Nothing, for another 5 minutes. Then Jason turned to Caroline and nodded. Rey and Johnny wondered if she were going to start. Jason and Caroline could read each others minds. She didn't need words to know what he was telling her to do. She looked at Sonny.

"Mr. Morgan would like some information. He would like for you to provide it."

Sonny couldn't figure out what the hell was going on. Why was Jason including her in this let alone letting her speak??? And what was with Carly calling him Mr. Morgan? He went on the offensive.

"You're his mouth piece now, little girl?"

He was all Sonny. Arrogant, belligerent and cruel. Her face nor posture changed. He saw instantly that she didn't take the bait but continued on.

"It would be in your best interest to provide him with that information in a timely manner."

"Why?"

She waited a beat and revealed her true self in her expression. She was just as cold as Jason.

"If you don't, first you will know fear, then you will know pain and at the appointed time, you will die."

He just stared at her. Shock, disbelief, realization then fear.

Now Jason Morgan was ready to speak.

"Where is Rivera?"

It took a few moments for the question to hit home. At that point, Sonny knew Jason knew everything. He was determined not to give up anything or drag it out as long as possible. Caroline had other ideas and looked to Jason for permission. He didn't know what she was going to do but if it would speed things along, he was all for it.

Jason watched as she went back to the case and pulled out a manilla envelope. She said nothing but approached Sonny slowly. Jason didn't know what was in the envelope but he knew it would be good. She pulled out several 8x10 pictures and put them in his face one at a time. Sonny broke. He cried like a bitch.

Jason got up from his chair because he just had to see this. Caroline didn't really want him to for reasons she really couldn't put her finger on. It was a side of her that she wasn't sure he'd accept so freely. Even considering all he knew about her. She wouldn't hide or try to obstruct his view but steeled herself for whatever reaction he might have. Jason was surprised but that was all. He didn't know she packed a camera when she left. Then again, he considered her little trinket box and figured she had all kinds of stuff stashed on her. He connected another effective female quirk when he remembered Emily having all those safety deposit box keys and secret satellite phones stashed on her too. Jason Morgan decided right then and there he was an equal opportunity employer. Pictures of Brenda. Before, during and after. They were all bad.

Caroline hid it well but was nervous when she looked up to see Jason's reaction of what she'd done. He laughed even harder than before. Sonny was coherent enough to catch Jason's next words and only then did he truly understand the situation. It amazed him because he didn't think it possible.

"You just got another fucking raise."

Complete understanding set in for Johnny and Rey at that point. They knew what those pictures were. Or who was in those pictures. They had to hand it to her. Rey looked to Johnny and nodded. She was good.

Rey and Johnny had to look away a couple of times as Jason and Caroline worked. It lasted two hours. Sonny had a lot to say. Rey took out a note pad and started writing all the names, locations, accounts and activities. It was huge. They also got a bonus of a couple dirty cops that weren't on their payroll. They'd be victims of some untimely accidents in the near future. When Jason was completely satisfied that he had everything he turned to Rey and Johnny motioning for them to leave.

Jason knew Caroline was holding back because she still had to find out what he gave up on the Spencers. Did anyone know about Laura taking out Damian and where did Jennifer Smith fit into the whole thing? What did he tell Helena and what was she planning? And they both needed to know if Tracy or Soleto were close. When she got everything she needed for her family, she gave him something from her family. That hurt most of all. When she was finished she looked to Jason.

"I'm done."

"Me too. Start packing up."

For a split second, Sonny thought he got out of it. Until Jason reached over on the table and picked up one of the guns. Two shots to the heart and two in the head. Clean. She couldn't help it and turned to him. Eyes shining with approval.

"Very nice."

He nodded.

"Thanks."

Johnny stayed to supervise clean up and disposal. The crew knew it would be bad. Lifting the lid on that coffin and seeing Sonny Corinthos inside gave them all understanding of what he probably did. He and Jason were close. Tight. For it to come to that meant Sonny went after him. When they came in and saw what Sonny looked like after meeting with Jason, they turned to each other in fright. No way would they EVER cross Jason Morgan.
