Hey guys. Thanks for all the great reviews last chapter.

"So now all we have to do is sit here while Marco, Johnny, Francis and Dean do their jobs." Sonny filled in Jason with a smile on his face.
It had been last night when Sonny had filled in his men on their move against Faith and Alcazar. He had put his best men on it, with the obvious exception of Jason.
"So now we need to get rid of Ric?" Jason asked slowly. He wasn't sure what Sonny was planning in terms of his brother.
Sonny sighed. "God Jason, I don't know."
Jason said nothing. He knew that Sonny needed to get this out and he didn't want to make him clam up or anything.
"I thought, maybe, in the beginning before he shot you that I could let him live for what he did to Carly. Tell him to get out of town. But even if it had been just her he hurt after seeing her in that room I'm not so sure on that." Sonny looked down. When he looked up again his eyes were closed, after a second he opened them and started speaking again. "Do you know why? Why he did this? Carly told me everything last night. He is sick Jason. More sick than we all thought."
Jason's eyes narrowed at this. He had no idea why Ric had done it. He just thought it had been about the same things Ric had come to town for but still he kept quiet.
Sonny continued. "He blames me Jason, for Elizabeth's miscarriage. He was going to… he was going to give Elizabeth our baby. He was going to pass the baby off as a abandoned child and adopt it with her."
Jason didn't know how to react to that. Ric was sick. He didn't deserve to live. There was one thing Jason knew for certain now. If Sonny didn't kill Ric, he would.
--------- Pier 14
Faith Roscoe walked on to the pier. Last night she had decided to call a meeting with Lorenzo Alcazar to talk to him about helping her bring Sonny down. She hadn't brought too many of her men with her. The right hand she had now was a lot smarter than Fowler had ever been. He was very good with security.
She had come early. All she had to do now was wait for Alcazar to come.
--------- Corinthos Penthouse, Elizabeth's Room
Elizabeth was in part shock over what she had heard. She hadn't meant to eavesdrop but as she came down the stairs she heard it. Her husband was officially dead to her. There was no way that she would ever be able to look at his face again.
He had taken a pregnant woman in hopes of giving her child to Elizabeth. Hadn't growing up without a mother shown him something? How could he think of taking a child away from its mother?
He had twisted their innocent unborn child's death into a sick thing. They had lost their baby. Now he was going to place that pain on another person.
Elizabeth couldn't handle it. She curled up on her bed and cried. She was crying for her baby, who deserved to live but never got the chance, who would have grown up with a sick twisted man for a father. She was crying for Carly, a woman who had the strength to get over losing one child and who had been facing that fate again. She cried for Michael, this had traumatized the little boy, he was another innocent child caught in the crossfire. She cried for Sonny, he had lost two children, now his brother wanted to take a third. He would have to make a terrible choice soon. She was crying for Jason, the man she loved with all her heart. He didn't deserve any of this. All the people he loved lives were collapsing around him and there wasn't a thing he could do about it.
Most of all, she was crying for herself.

Lorenzo Alcazar stood next to the joke of a woman that had dared to call a meeting with a real player, Faith Roscoe. He had no intention of partnering with her - she was a fool. Still, it would be interesting to see what she had come up with. "Good evening, Mrs. Roscoe."
Faith smiled. "And you, Mr. Alcazar. I didn't call you here for pleasantries, though."
Alcazar just shook his head. "I guessed that. But please, tell me why you wanted to see me."
Faith's mouth opened but before a word could get out gunfire rang out. He looked around him to see his three men falling down. A set up, that bitch had set him up. Alcazar felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He looked down in amazement at his chest. He had been shot. As he fell to the ground he looked at Faith. The blonde was on the ground, as were all of her men.
As Alcazar hit the ground he spoke one last word, "Corinthos"
The world around him went black.

Sonny hung up the phone. It was done. His men had left their guns in the hands of the dead men. Their prints would be on each gun. There would be no doubt in anyone's mind that Faith Roscoe and Lorenzo Alcazar's meeting had gone bad and ended with gunfire.
The two were dead.
Sonny turned to Jason and nodded. Ric was all that was left.
