Sonny felt a vibration against his leg as he heard his cellphone give out a sharp ring. He quickly reached his hand into his pocket and pulled out the silver phone flipping it open smoothly as it gave a third ring. "Corenthos" Sonny answered.

"Hey Sonny it's Jason" Jason said on the other line.

"Hey listen Courtney is expecting you home and I have some work for you to do and-"

"Listen I found this girl" Jason told Sonny. "I'm at the hospital right now"

Sonny gave a questioning look with his dark cold eyes and twisted his eyebrows into a strange shape. "What do you mean?" Sonny asked.

"When I was at Jake's this girl was at the bar. Then Alcazar he said that she had stolen something from him and that he wanted it back. Then when she refused to tell him who her boss was he stabbed her" Jason explained.

"Sam" Sonny muttered.

"What?" Jason said.

"It's Sam Mccall" Sonny repeated. "I'll be down at the hospital in a few minutes. Just keep an eye out alright?"

"Okay" Jason said. Suddenly he heard Sonny hang up the phone then taking his own he snapped it shut.

Monica Quartermaine strode out into the waiting room of the lobby and found her son standing in the corner. She motioned him to come to her. "Hey" she said.

"Hi" Jason said back.

"Listen about this girl. She's going to be alright" Monica told Jason.

"Thats good" Jason said nodding his head. Actually it wasn't like if she wasn't okay it would mean anything to him. He just met this girl. Didn't even know her name.

"But there is an infection. She'll be down for awhile" Monica said to Jason. Jason just nodded his head. "So how do you know Sam?"

Jason gave Monica a smirk. "Don't worry mom it's not what you think. I don't even know the woman" Jason said. "I was at Jake's when it happened. She was apparently in some deep shit and was stabbed. I figured I should probably do something so I brought her here."

Monica nodded her head. Behind the two of them the elevator doors slid open and Sonny Corenthos strode out of them. He looked to Jason and Monica. "Where is she?" Sonny asked.

"Room 441" Monica answered. "Why?"

"I need to see her" Sonny said as he turned on his heel and moved down the hall. Jason looked from Monica to Sonny with a suspicious look across his soft face. He quickly followed Sonny who walked down the hall quickly.

"Wait Sonny" he said. As he caught up with him he started to nail his boss with questions. "Who is this girl? How do you know her?"

Sonny didn't even look at Jason as he continued to stride down the hallway. "Sonny?" Jason said.

"She works for me" Sonny told Jason still looking ahead continually moving to room 441.

"She what?" Jason asked shocked.

"Her name is Sam Mccall. Been working for me for years. Well not as long as you but does outside jobs that I don't want to get to close to the family. Jobs I can't have going on to close to Port Charles" Sonny said.

"Sonny why didn't I do those jobs?" Jason asked bitterly.

"Because Jason I need you at home. Besides these jobs are dangerous" Sonny told his friend.

"Yeah so you send a girl on the job. What the hell is that supposed to mean Sonny. Was I replaced without knowing it?" Jason asked angrily.

"See Jason that's why I didn't tell you I knew you would get mad" Sonny said shaking his head.

"You're damn right! Sonny why is this girl taking my place?" Jason asked raging.

"She's not taking your place Jason. She just helps me out just as you do. It's really like having two of you except one is a woman" Sonny said. Jason just tightened his jaw glaring at Sonny. Neither talked for the rest of the walk down the hallway. Then Sonny stopped in front of a door labeled 441. "Listen maybe I should see her alone"

Jason nodded his head. "Yeah I don't get why I didn't just let her die anyway" Jason muttered bitterly. Sonny shook his head as he walked towards the door. "You know I already hate her!" Jason shouted after Sonny as he closed the door behind him.

Sam lay in the tiny hospital room in a white hospital gown. Hooked up to her were fluids and oxygen and all the other necessary machines. She smirked at Sonny as he came in. "This pretty much sucks" she croaked.

Sonny nodded his head. "Yeah it does" he said. He slowly came and pulled up the hard metal chair sitting in the corner of the room and moved it so that he sat by Sam. "So listen I'm sorry I sent you to go and get Alcazar. I knew I shouldn't have. I knew something bad would happen. Sam I'm sorry. I didn't want this to happen to you"

Sam shook her head. "Sonny it's alright. And I'm fine anyway. You know I don't mind doing work for you" Sam told him.

"I know but I have always worried about you getting hurt from the moment I let you work for me" Sonny said.

"Well, you shouldn't" Sam said. "I mean Sonny once the antibiotics kick in and this wound closes up I'll be back on my feet."

Sonny shook his head. "Do you ever rest? You're always doing something to get someone on your ass" Sonny said.

Sam shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. Resting is just something I never do" she told him.

"Listen Sam that guy at the bar. The one who brought you here. Well, he works for me too" Sonny said to her. "He's the one who does the inside jobs here in town."

Sam nodded her head. "I think you've mentioned him. Jason, right?"

Sonny nodded his head. "Yep." he said. "He's pretty pissed about you working for me"

"So screw him" Sam said.

"Well see it's not that simple. Jason is my best friend and has been working for me for a long time and well you are too it's just"

"I know Sonny. You want Jason to take my place on jobs outside of Port Charles."

"Sam-"

"No really Sonny it's fine. If it's about making Jason happy then go ahead and do it. Don't smash his ego." Sam said folding her arms and looking away from Sonny.

Sonny let out a sigh. "Sam that's not what I want to do. I want the two of you working together." Sonny told Sam.

Sam snapped her head looking at him. "No way." Sam said.

"Why not?" Sonny asked.

"Because I work alone. Especially not with some pretty boy" Sam told Sonny.

"Sam listen maybe we shouldn't move so fast. We'll figure this out once your healed. For now I want you at the Pent House. And Jason is going to be your bodyguard. Lorenzo is going to be out for blood and-" Sonny was cut off by an angry looking Sam.

"Since when have I ever needed a body guard?" Sam asked fuming. "I am not one of your family members Sonny. I am not your wife or your daughter and I for one can defend myself"

"Not when you're in this shape." Sonny told her. "Look at you. I bet you can't even walk"

Sam glared at him. "Ugh. Jason probably doesn't want to even be near me" Sam told him.

"Not unless I make him." Sonny said.
