Courtney woke up and looked at the alarm clock. 5:45 AM. It was way too early but since she was already up, she couldn't go back to sleep. She got up and went downstairs. She got halfway down the steps when she heard Jason and Sonny talking.
Jason: What? Who told you this?
Sonny: One of our men who we assigned to follow him reported that he is working with some woman in order to do it.
Jason: This doesn't make any sense. And you're sure that it's Courtney who Ric is after?
Sonny: Definitely.
Just then they heard something on the stairs. They turned around to find Courtney with a look of terror on her face.

A warehouse outside of town
Ric: Ok I've worked out the details, but I won't be doing it.
Kate: What? After all the money I've given you? You traitor!
Ric: No, what I meant was that I wouldn't be doing the job personally. You see, if there is any suspicion or any trace back to me, I'm a dead man.
Kate: Alright, I'll just hire someone to do it.
Ric: That won't be necessary, I've arranged it with Alcazar for some of his men to do it.
Kate: That's good.
Ric: Ok so all we need to do now is wait for a good time to launch the plan.
Kate: And what exactly is our plan?

PH 2
Jason: Courtney, how much did you hear?
Courtney let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. "Enough to know that Ric is after me!"
Sonny: Look, Courtney, nothing is going to happen to you. I will not let that bastard anywhere near you. Marco will be your guard and I'll have someone on Ric –
Courtney: No, I am not going to have a guard.
Jason: Courtney, don't argue with us on this. This is just so he can't get to you when you're in public.
Courtney: Sonny, can I talk to Jason alone?
Sonny: Sure, I'll call you later Jason.
Sonny turned around and walked back over to his penthouse where everyone was still sound asleep.
Courtney: Jason, isn't there some other way than having my under surveillance 24/7?
Jason: Unless you want to stay cooped up in Harbor View Towers until we can get rid of Ric.
Courtney: I see your point. What if I went to the island? You and I could go together, a little romantic getaway. Ever since we got back together, we haven't had much time to ourselves.
Jason: Ok. When do you want to go? I think a few weeks are a good amount of time for you to be there.
Courtney: Were you not just listening to me? WE are going. You're coming with me.
Jason: Courtney I would love to go with you but I have to stay here and help Sonny with this. But I will come down for a few days after you've settled in.
Courtney: Ok. How about I leave the day after tomorrow, Wednesday I think.
Jason: Ok great. It's settled then.

Ric's phone started to ring.
Ric: Lansing.
Alcazar: I've just received word that Courtney will be leaving the country on Wednesday. This is when you need to do it. She is taking Sonny's private jet from the PC airport.
Ric: Great. This is perfect. Thanks.
Kate: Who was that?
Ric: That, was Alcazar. He said that Courtney is leaving the country on Wednesday.
Kate: What? This totally ruins everything.
Ric: Jus the opposite. It is perfect timing. Courtney will get on that jet suspecting nothing. And then kaboom. Bye bye Courtney.
