La Cosa Nostra
{This Thing of Ours}

Sonny sat behind his desk, Jason and the family adviser Benny sat across from him as he told them the plan to take down the Miami cartel, "We need someone on the inside, if we make it like we're interested in running their
drugs through Port Charles then we've got them where we want them."

"Yes, Sonny but you must keep in mind that Lorenzo Alcazar isn't the only drug lord, there's Giovanni Campione, he's the one credited for bringing the old rings back and even taking up where Gotti left off." Benny pointed
out.

Jason debated the thoughts in his head, "We can't run this from the outside, we have to get in or we're going to be fighting in the streets of
Port Charles. We can't afford the damage of a war with them."

"We have to find someone new, an associate, someone looking to be made. The
books are open, after all we did lose Nico in the warehouse."

"How about Ramon?, he's reliable, trustworthy." Jason suggested

"Ramon could work, he can get on the inside, no one would know he was working of us. Once we find out what's going down inside the rings we'll
know how to stop them and who to go through."

"What do you think Benny?"

"Go ahead with Ramon."

"Alright, now on to another problem, the Caprice Family is back in Sicily.
There cannot be two families here. They have to know that Sicily is
Corinthos territory. So we're going to send Dan to deliver a message."

"And if they retaliate?" Jason asked

"Then we'll go for shakedown, anything to get my point across."

Sonny walked through the hallway and into the bedroom, Skye was sitting on the chase staring out the window. He loosened his tie and pulled it over
his head. "What's out there that you find so exciting?"

Skye got up from the chase, "How did you're meetings go today?"

"Good, I'm going to send someone inside the drug trade in Miami and try and
stop the Caprice's from taking over in Sicily."

"About the Caprice's."

"What about them?"

"I ran into Sophia today."

"Where?"

"In the village."

"Was she in your shop?"

"Yeah, she was browsing at some fabric, she said that Nicholas wasn't looking for trouble by coming to Sicily, that he just wanted the Caprices
and the Corinthos' to get along."

"He want's our families to join forces."

"Exactly, he wants to control what goes on here in Sicily just like he does in Tijuana. And we both know that the only thing he controls are his whores
and his meth labs. Sophia made it quite clear that he was determined."

"Did Sophia threaten you?"

"No, Sophia didn't pose a threat to me ten years ago and she sure as hell doesn't now. She's just his wife, she has nothing to do with his business.
She scares easily too."

"What did you do to her?"

"I didn't do anything and I didn't say anything either."

"Well, I think you and Sophia are going to have to learn to play nice until
we find out just what it is that Nicholas is after."

"I'll try really hard, I promise but if she makes me mad enough, I'll kill
her."

"You know what it means if Nicholas and Sophia become a permanent fixture
here?"

"La Guerra di droga."

"Exactly, you're going to have to start watching your back."

"Like that's not something I do everyday anyway."

"I want you to take Marco with you to the boutique tomorrow."

"No, Sonny, we had a deal, my business is separate from your business."

"Gli Affari di famiglia, any way you look at it."

"Enough about business, right now I have something else in mind." Skye
placed her lips on his neck, lightly kissing him.

"Skye, we have to talk about this."

Skye didn't pay any attention to what Sonny was saying, she continued to kiss his neck as her hands began undoing to buttons on his shirt, "We'll
talk later." She murmured against his skin.

"No" Sonny yelled, "We'll talk now" he said as he roughly grabbed Skye's
arms, forcing her to look at him.

"Fine! I'm listening, now talk." She yelled back.

"If the Caprice's move into Sicily and take it over all our asses will be
back in Port Charles."

"Understood. I'll see what Sophia's husband is up to."

"Don't go through her to get the information."

"I didn't plan on it." Skye snapped as she walked into the bathroom,
slamming the door shut behind her.

Sonny ran his hand through his hair, "I've got to get out of here, I need a
drink." he said to himself.

Carly was laying in the bed, flipping through a magazine. Jason came out of
the bathroom walking over to the bed, he grabbed the magazine out of
Carly's hands, throwing it behind him.

Before she could protest, Jason leaned down and kissed her. Running his
hands through her blond hair.

"What's all this about?"

"I'm trying to show you just how much I love you."

"We'll I've got a few idea's of my own." Carly whispered seductively as she
pulled Jason down onto the bed.

"Let's here them."

"I was thinking of candle light, champagne and long walks on the beach."

"A second honeymoon?"

"Yeah, just the two of us, all alone, no phones, no kids, no work, nothing
to interrupt us."

"How long have you been thinking about this?"

"Oh, since our first honeymoon." Carly joked.

"If you want to go away just tell me when and I'll make the arrangements."

"Umm, what if I said that I already made all the arrangements and that we
leave Friday morning for the Bahama's."

"I would say you're damn lucky I don't have anything big I'm working on."

"So we can go?"

"Of course we can, five whole days all alone and we'll do whatever your
heart desires."

Carly kissed Jason hard on the lips, "Thank you, why don't you let me prove
to you just how much I appreciate this."

Jason rolled over off of Carly and onto his back, taking her with him. His lips became infused with hers as his hands felt their way up her nightie, Carly pulled away along enough to pull it over her head. The night had just
begun.
