Zander watched from the squad room as his brother questioned Sonny about his father's murder. He began to pace the floor and wringing his hands together in anticipation of Ric emerging and telling him the case was finally closed that Sonny was going away for a very long time. At this moment the business didn't matter, this was personal and Sonny was going to pay dearly for what he had done.

Tempers flared and loud voices could be heard from the interrogation room, as Zander couldn't tear himself away from observing what was going on inside. Suddenly the door to the room flew open and Ric emerged, his rage could been seen to those in the squad room.

Zander approached him with anticipation to know what happened in there. "So, Ric, tell me he's not getting out of this, tell me you can make this stick!" Ric turned to his brother wishing he could tell him what he wanted to hear, knowing that they would need Zander's testimony to put Sonny away for killing Frank.

"Yeah we can .. but ... I'm going to need your help." Zander looked at his brother confused.

"My help, what hell do you need me for?" Zander questioned.

"I'll tell ya about in my office." Ric led the way to his office and Zander followed close behind wanting to know what he would have to offer this case against Sonny.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Jason still unconscious was wheeled out from the surgical wing and into a recovery area till he woke up.

Monica emerged from the double doors and saw Elizabeth and Alan still sitting and waiting in the chairs outside the ICU. She approached cautiously, trying to think of the words she would tell Elizabeth. Jason's recovery would not be easy, nor will it be short term.

Elizabeth looked up when she heard someone approach. "Is it over?" she asked as Monica sat down with her. "Yeah it's over. Jason's in the recovery area, he's still unconscious."

"Is he going to be okay, did you get the bullet out?"

Monica paused a moment with a worry in her eyes as Alan wrapped his arm around Elizabeth to steady her for the news Monica obviously had to tell her.

"We got the bullet out, it was difficult but we got it, all of it. Now it's up to Jason. It's not going to be an easy road, but Jason's strong, he can handle what lies of ahead of him."

Elizabeth wiped a tear from her eye as she listened to what Monica had to tell her. "When can I see him?" she asked.

"Give him some time to rest, a few hours should be okay. Why don't you go home and some rest, you've been here all night, Elizabeth." Monica suggested as she looked towards Alan to offer something.

"Why don't I drive you home, Elizabeth?" Alan offered and she looked up at him.

"No thank you Dr. Quartermaine, I'll get Johnny to take me home. I guess there isn't much I can do here till Jason wakes up. But you will call me as soon as he does, right?"

Monica stood up from her seat and removed her surgical mask from around her neck. "Sure, we will." Elizabeth felt the urge to give Monica a hug for all she did for Jason, she felt close to Jason's parents, even if Jason didn't. Monica surprised by the hug from her, but returned the embrace just the same.

Alan and Monica watched Elizabeth walk somberly down the hallway towards the elevators. Alan reached for Monica and pulled her into him. He looked down at her ..."Come on .. I want to go see our son."

Ric offered Zander a seat as they walked into the office and Ric closed the door behind them. Zander watched as his brother took a seat in the chair behind his desk.

"So are you going tell me what this all about? Why do you need my help?" Zander asked still baffled by what was going on.

"I need you to remember, Zander. I need you to remember all that happened that night, the night your father was killed."
