**************************************************************************************************

"Yes Sonny. Okay, okay. Yeah Sonny don't worry about it Morgan is doing just fine here. Okay I will. Alright, ta." Kylie hangs up the phone and goes to pick up Morgan. "Oh, baby boy you are going to be so overprotected it's not even funny. Anyway that was your daddy, he says he loves you. Mommy still hasn't woken up yet, but she will. I know she will. Now you're probably wondering why your dad calls every five minutes. Don't worry I wonder that too. He just wants to make sure you are taken care of. I think I'm doing a pretty good job." Kylie says to him sitting down in a rocking chair, "You've seen Michael and Grandma every day since you've been with me. Daddy has been by a few times, I think he would come by more if we weren't here. Sonny doesn't like Lo, I know that. Morgan I just couldn't let you go with Courtney. She would have tried to be you and Michael's mother, but you already have a mommy. That's right and she's going to get better. You don't have to worry about her. Right now you need to get to sleep. Okay? Alright what song should I sing? I've already told you I don't believe in little nursery rhymes. So…oh I got it." Kylie gets up, rocks Morgan back and forth, "Your daddy will like that I don't really rock you to sleep, isn't that right? Yeah we dance." Kylie begins to sing to Morgan, "'Rain falls angry on the tin roof- As we lie awake in my bed- You're my survival,- you're my living proof- My love is alive and not dead…I'll be your cryin' shoulder-I'll be love suicide-I'll be better when I'm older-I'll be the greatest fan of your life…I've dropped out, burned -up-fought my way back from the dead-Tuned in, turned on- remembered the things you said…I'll be your cryin' shoulder-I'll be love suicide-I'll be better when I'm older- I'll be the greatest fan of your life.' Night, Morgan" Kylie lays him in his cradle and quietly shuts the door to her room. Her phone rings loudly and she runs to find it,

"What?!" she answers a little to harshly.

"Bad time?" Lorenzo asks her.

"Sorry I just got Morgan to sleep and hadn't put my phone on vibrate yet. I didn't want the ring to wake him up." she apologizes.

"Speaking of phones, are you on the main line?" he asks.

"No, but I disconnected it, I can't quiet that one down." Kylie says.

"And if someone needs to speak with me?" Lorenzo reminds her.

"Then they can call your cell. Your tying up your line right now so you better go…ta!" Kylie hangs up and goes to sit on the couch. She picks up a magazine and begins to read when she hears a commotion outside the door. Lorenzo's guard comes in, "Someone is here without an appointment should I let them in?" "Go ahead." she tells him, still reading. The guest walks in and doesn't see Kylie's face and Kylie never sees his, instead he looks around for Lorenzo, "Where is he?" he asks himself urgently, out loud. "Ok first of all keep your voice down because a baby is asleep in the other room, second of all what are you doing here?" Kylie questions him, her face still in the magazine. "I'm looking for Alcazar." the guest says a little quieter. "Kylie or Lorenzo?" Kylie asks. "Lorenzo." he tells her as if it were the most obvious thing, after all he didn't know any other Alcazars. "He's not here." Kylie tells him. "Then fine I'll speak to the other one, what was it? Oh yeah Kylie. I'll talk to her." the guest agrees. Kylie finally brings down the magazine, gets up and taps the guy on his shoulder. He turns around to face her. Both are somewhat shocked but keep their cool. "Kylie Alcazar." she introduces herself, extending her hand to him. "Dillon Quartermaine." Dillon replies as her takes her hand.

Haven't we met

You're some kind of beautiful stranger

You could be good for me

I have a taste for danger

If I'm smart then I'll run away

But I'm not so I guess I'll stay

Heaven forbid

I take my chance on a beautiful stranger

The two don't really shake hands, just held hands for a second or two. Kylie drops her hand, "What do you need?" "Well, no offense or anything but I thought maybe Kylie might be someone…well older. Or at least in Alcazar's business." Dillon admits. "Well maybe I can help you anyway." Kylie offers. "Umm okay. I need a job. Any job…at all." Dillon says. "Why would you want to work for Lorenzo?" Kylie asks him. "Umm well because I kind of have before, and I need a job…really soon." he reluctantly tells her, "You know…Who are you anyway?" "Kylie Alcazar. I already told you that, you don't listen very well. One point against you." she taunts him. "N-no I know that but like who are you? Where did you come from? I haven't seen you around town anywhere." "Okay my life in thirty seconds or less--" Kylie begins. "Yeah the less, would really work better for me." Dillon cuts in. "Ooh interruptions, that's two points against you, I wouldn't let it get to three. Anyway I was raised by my mother's best friend, Robin Scorpio and her boyfriend Jason Morgan. When Robin left Port Charles, Jason and I left soon after. We went to L.A. After about a year I woke up one morning and he had left for PC again and said it was too dangerous for me to go. He left me money and plane tickets to go see Robin and her friend Brenda. Well I was mad he left so one time when I was in Europe I met Lorenzo Alcazar, told him my story, moved in with him. He came to PC, I did too. I stayed with Ric Lansing, then with Faith Roscoe and now I'm with Lo again. My goal is to destroy Jason and that little bitch he calls a fiancée. Any questions?" Kylie asks, amused at Dillon's bewilderment. "Several, but none I'm going to get into right now." "Good. I didn't want to answer them anyway." smarts Kylie, "Your turn." "What do you mean my turn?" Dillon asks. "You know so much about me, now tell me your life in thirty seconds or less." she orders. Dillon sighs, "Fine, this shouldn't take very long at all. Tracy Quartermaine is my mother. I've lived all over Europe, been in and out of boarding school my entire life. My mom dumped me here and now I'm back, unfortunately she's back too. I love movies, and Georgie Jones. Done." "Wait a minute! You're Tracy's son?" Kylie asks. "Yeah, you know my mother?" Dillon replies. "I know you're whole family sweetie, they love me and your mother has always been one of my very good friends but we won't get into detail about that." "Okay, great. Now do you have a job for me or not?" Dillon asks impatiently. "You still haven't told me why you want this job so bad." Kylie reminds him. "No, no, no. Need…I need this job." Dillon corrects her. "Oh excuse me." Kylie says sarcastically, "Why do you need this job?" "Because, I just do." Dillon insists. "I'm afraid I can't help you if you can't tell me why." Kylie threatens subtly. "Do you enjoy watching me squirm or something? Is that it?" Dillon asks nervously, scratching the back of his neck. "Maybe." Kylie replies with a smile. Dillon glares at her, "Fine. I already told you that I love Georgie. Well my mom, your best buddy hates her and she is going to send me to military school. I need this job to pay for my own apartment or something so I can get out of that crazy house, be with Georgie, and not go to military school. And I swear to God if you make on remark about my hair in regard to getting it cut military style, or whatever, I'll walk out that door right now." Kylie laughs, "And walking out would help you how?" "Well you--you just…Okay fine it won't!" he says, "Now please do I have a job or not?" "See Dobson…" Kylie begins. "Dillon." he corrects her. "Don't correct me." she tells him, "As I was saying, I really don't know anything about Lo's business so I can't give you a job. However, if you want to come back and ask for one when Lorenzo is here, I'd be happy to recommend you." Dillon stops scratching his neck and stares at her, "You mean you were never going to give me a job?" Kylie shakes her head, laughing. "Oh that's just great. You know I've met some characters in my day…let me tell you but you are the most…unbelievable, underhanded---" Dillon yells, before Kylie interrupts him. " What did I say about keeping your voice down!? Also, I'd be careful there Damian, you see I can recommend you for a job…but just as easily I can make sure that you don't get one." Dillon takes a deep breath , "Dillon, okay? It's Dillon! I have to go." Dillon begins to walk out, when Kylie calls out to him quietly, "Hey I was never going to say anything about your hair. Besides it's kind of cute…very 'FRIENDS' meets 'Dawson's Creek'." she laughs. Dillon lets out a nervous, exhaling laugh, whispers, "Unbelievable." and walks out. Kylie laughs as she goes back to the couch and her magazine. "That was fun." she tells herself.

You're everywhere I go

And everybody knows

I looked into your eyes

And my world came tumbling down

You're the devil in disguise

That's why I'm singing this song to you

To know you is to love you

Lorenzo walks in around midnight and finds Kylie asleep on the couch. "Hey." he whispers, brushing the hair out of her face, "Kylie, get up." Slowly she opens her eyes and sits up, "Oh hey. I was waiting for you, but I guess I just fell asleep." "Yeah you did." he tells her, "You don't have to wait up for me." "I know, but I like to. Also someone stopped by to see you today." Kylie informs him. "Who?" he asks. "Dillon Quartermaine." she replies. "Really?" Lorenzo asks, amused thinking about all Kylie could have done to him, "What did he want?" "A job." Kylie replies, "He said he had done work for you before." "Yeah just a few errands here and there." Lorenzo tells her. "What's your take on him?" she asks. "He's a good kid. He's come through every time I've given him a job." Alcazar says, "What's yours?" "Oh I had a little fun with him, but over all he seems okay." Kylie smirks. "I can only imagine what you did to him." Lorenzo says thoughtfully, "I can think of a job he'd be perfect for." "What?" Kylie asks. "You could always use another body guard…" Lorenzo begins. "Lorenzo, no. We already discussed this I do not need a body guard. Pretty much everyone in town knows and loves me. Your enemies don't know who I am, and even if they did I can take care of myself! You should know that better than anyone!" Kylie blasts him. "Okay, I'm sorry it was a bad idea." Lorenzo apologizes. "But it would be a nice thing if you could give him a job after what I put him through." Kylie laughs, calming down. "He's still living isn't he?" Lorenzo asks only half joking. "Oh he's fine…his ego may be a bit bruised, but he'll live." Kylie tells him. "Well then guess he'll just run errands like he did before." Lorenzo decides. "Okay." Kylie agrees. "Well, I have a few more things to take care of, but you should go to sleep." Lorenzo tells her. "Lo, it's late. Just stay here we'll watch a movie or something." Kylie pleads. "I wish I could but I have to do some more work. I'll see you tomorrow." he promises her. "Fine." Kylie replies. He kisses her on the top of her head and walks out. Kylie gets up and walks to her room. She steps on something hard, "What the hell?" She looks down and picks up Dillon's necklace. Kylie laughs a little, but she catches herself and stops. Unable to control it she keeps smiling and takes the necklace with her.

You're everywhere I go

And everybody knows

I pay for you with tears

And swallow all my pride



If I'm smart then I'll run away

But I'm not so I guess I'll stay

Haven't you heard

I fell in love with a beautiful stranger
