Faith in the Power of Skye
Faith looked her directly in the eye, "She's your daughter isn't she?"
Skye was silent.
"So, what, you were sixteen when you had her? Is that why you were married to Luis Alcazar, because he got you pregnant? I'm sure the Quartermaine's loved that." Faith said sarcastically, "Is this why you wanted Luis to die in the warehouse, revenge for taking your precious virginity and knocking you up, ruining all the Quartermaine's dreams for you?"
Skye let out a light laugh, "I didn't ruin any of the Quartermaine's dreams for me."
"Oh, so they approved of your pregnancy, carrying the child of a drug lord and then they forced you into marriage to make everything legitimate."
"Wow, Faith you've got everything worked out, don't you?"
"You tell me, isn't that what happened?"
Skye shook her head, "Luis and I married when I was eighteen, now I'm thirty one, making Sage thirteen, but you see, Sage is sixteen. Luis didn't take my virginity and he didn't knock me up. Sage belongs to someone else."
"Who?" Faith questioned.
"Her name was Rachel, she died during child birth. When Luis and I were married I thought of her as a daughter, I still do and time to time I see her, but Luis had her put in some stuffy boarding school. " Skye told her, "Want me to set anything else straight for you?"
"No, that's perfectly fine."
"I came here to discuss business with you, not my personal life, so can we get on with it."
"Sure." Faith answered, "So, you want to eliminate Nicholas Caprice."
"Correct, I need to get rid of him and fast."
"I told you that you need to destroy him first." Faith said sternly.
"I don't have time for that."
"Make time."
"Look, I don't know how things work here in Port Charles, but in Italy things are done differently." Skye told her, "I want to get rid of Caprice as soon as possible."
"Is this your way to get around killing Lorenzo?"
"No, I told you I don't want to waste any time. I plan to take him out personally."
"How do you plan on doing that?" Faith asked curiously.
"Like this." Skye lifted her left hand into view and suddenly Faith found herself alone, unprotected by one of her men, on a darkened pier, staring at the handgun in Skye Corinthos' hand. "How does it feel to be on the opposite side of the gun?"
Faith froze, Skye was obviously not messing around, she meant business. "Why are you doing this? Do you want to run Port Charles and Italy?"
"What's it to you if I do, you'll be six feet under with your husband by then, so I guess it really wouldn't matter one way or the other."
"You wouldn't" Faith challenged her, "You couldn't."
"Oh, no?" Skye mocked, she held the gun in her hand steady, her finger on the trigger. Faith knew she was off the hook, that Skye was just testing her out.
Skye pulled the trigger, without hesitation, without reservation, without a doubt. She knew what she was doing.

Sonny was sitting on the bed is his jail cell, he had to get out of here, he knew that the only way for that to happen was to destroy the person that he thought set him up, Nicholas Caprice. But with Jason and himself on the inside, there was no way he could make it work.
He got up and walked out into the hallway and over to the pay phone, he put the required amount of change in and dialed the number at the Quartermaine's. Patiently he waited for an answer.
"Hello." Carly's voice rang through the other line.
"Carly, it's Sonny, where's Skye?"
She thought quickly, "She and Monica went out. Shopping I think."
"Oh. Do you know when she'll be back?"
"Umm, it shouldn't be too much longer."
"All right, I call back then in a few hours." Sonny told her.
"Okay, bye." Carly said as she hung up the phone.
Sonny went back and sat down on his bed, he hated this, he couldn't imagine spending years in this hell hole. He was running the same thought over and over again in his mind. Skye could order the hit on Caprice and then he would be cleared of all charges and then everything would return to normal.
But he would never involve Skye like that. He loved his wife more than anything, he wasn't Luis, he wouldn't purposely put her in harms way. The night he asked her to stake out the warehouse was already going to far.
His mind flashed back to the day he met her. Skye had on a black dress, she was walking along the docks in Port Charles. She had dropped her veil, they both bent down to pick it up at the same time, he looked up into her face and she smiled. Gently he placed the veil in her hand.
"Thank you." She said barely above a whisper.
They both gained to their feet.
He watched her full red lips move when she spoke, "I'm Skye Quartermaine Alcazar."
"I know who you are, Mrs. Alcazar. I'm very sorry to hear about your husband." Sonny told her, offering his condolences, then he noticed the saddened look on her face, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you."
Skye shook her head, "That's okay, you didn't it's just that today was his funeral."
Sonny snapped back to the real world. The sad thing about their first meeting was that Luis had faked his death, he and Skye divorced shortly after and he remained in Venezuela while she returned to town and threw herself into men, such as Jasper Jacks and Stefan Cassadine.

Skye walked into Kelly's, her plan was to grab a quick cup of coffee and then head home. While waiting at the counter she heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Ms. Quartermaine."
Skye turned around, "It's Mrs. Corinthos."
"I'm sorry. Mrs. Corinthos, what are you doing here? Jax asked, "I didn't think that Kelly's would be quite in your taste."
She smiled, "It's just coffee."
"Well, then you wouldn't mind if I joined you?"
"No, not at all."
Elizabeth sat Skye's cup in front of her, "Here you go, fresh with sugar just like you like it."
"Thank you Elizabeth." Skye picked up the cup and followed Jax over to a table. He pulled out her chair, she graciously accepted and sat down.
"How long do you plan on staying in Port Charles?" He asked.
"I'm not sure. You see, I'm working on a business venture."
He was suddenly all ears, "A business venture?"
"Yes, I own a boutique in Tuscany and I'm searching for inspirational designs and a few young women to serve as models. I'm having a show here on Saturday."
Jax nodded, "Have you found any models yet?"
"Yes, Emily, Elizabeth and Georgie so far. I still need a few more." Skye told him, "You wouldn't happen to know of anyone who's free on Saturday would you?"
"No, not at the moment." He shook his head, "Although I would like to hear more about your business."
"What would you like to know?"
"Do you need any investors?"
Skye silently declared victory, she could definitely use the Jacks name to her advantage, "Well, I have everything covered fairly well, but I am opened to cutting you in, if you'd like, that is."
"Yes, I've heard only good things about Skye Blue Designs."
"I plan to open up a division of stores here in the States but I'd like to open the first one here in Port Charles. Kind of a tribute to my hometown."
"I could help you out with shipping, the Jacks vessels are very swift and efficient and there's no hassle from other countries, making shipment twice as fast."
"That would be an added plus." Skye answered with a smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Skye entered the Quartermaine Mansion, everything was surprisingly quiet. Again. It was starting to become strange. Carly entered from the living room.
"Where is everyone?" Skye asked, slipping off her gloves.
"Alan's at the hospital, he has Max with him and Monica has Zoe and Antonio with her at the mall. AJ took Michael and Zach to see a movie and Emily has Isabella, they went for a walk with Nikolas." Carly explained.
Skye looked at her watch, "Wow, it's only eight thirty, I thought it was much later than that. Listen, I ran into Jasper Jacks at Kelly's and he wants to invest in Skye Blue Designs and I agreed."
"Why?"
"Because the name Jacks is gold. I told him that I plan to open a boutique here and he said that he would be happy to help with shipping."
"They don't search the vessels do they?"
Skye crossed the room and opened the coat closet, "No." She told her as she slipped her coat off and hung it up.
"Did you meet with Faith?" Carly asked.
Skye froze, she collected herself then turned around to face Carly, "Yeah, everything went smoothly, as planned." She answered with a smile.
"Good. Sonny called while you were gone."
"Is he going to call back?"
"He said that he would call back in a few hours and that was a few hours ago." Carly explained.
"I think I'll call him back." Skye headed for the living room.
Carly noticed something, "Skye."
She turned around to face her sister in law, "Yes?"
She reached forward and tried to wipe something off Skye's upper chest, "You have something on you." Carly took a step back, "Is that dry blood?"
