Sonny and Emily sat in the limo on their way home. Carly had picked Michael and Morgan up earlier.
"Hey, there's something I got to tell you. Manny's trial is tomorrow."
Emily nodded. "I want to go. He hurt too many people that I love. I'm going to be there to make sure he gets what he deserves."
"I know, but are you up to it?"
Emily nodded. "I have to be. I can't let Sam go alone. I have to be there for Jason and you. Waiting for justice to be served is definitely not either of yours strong points."
Sonny looked out the window. "That's because it rarely happens."
Emily squeezed his hand. "Sonny, I know you want to make sure he pays, but you just can't. Not without jeopardizing everything. Besides Durant is on the right side for once and we all know Durant gets what he wants no matter the cost. Let him get his hands dirty."
"You know I can't always sit back, right?"
Emily sighed. "I know, but I have a bad feeling about this time. I know what Jason does and I've been there when he's had to run out of our lunch to "take care of something", but Manny's different."
"He's psychotic," said Sonny.
Emily nodded. "Exactly. You can't treat him like all your other enemies because they're sane and somewhat rational."
Sonny sighed. "I know, but-."
"No buts at least give Justice a chance. He's helping Durant with the case. If anyone can win this Justice can."
Sonny groaned. "I hate it when you have a point."
She kissed him. "Too bad." She hit the call button. "Max can you stop here I have some things to do."
The car stopped Emily gave Sonny a quick kiss good bye and got out. She walked into the park and then headed to the Police Station where Manny was being detained before his trial. She walked up to Mac.
"Emily," he said giving her a hug. "How are you feeling?"
She smiled. "I'm doing OK. I was wondering if it would be possible to have a few moments with Manny. I just really need to see for myself that he's a new man." Mac went to protest. "Please, Mac. I really need this for closure in case he goes free."
"All right, but I'm going to stay with you."
Mac had Manny brought up to the interrogation room. Emily stood patiently in the interrogation room. Her arms folded across her chest. She was submissive and patient most of the time, but this man had done too much. She had forgiveness in her heart for him if he was genuinely cured, but she was pretty sure he was just a snake hiding in the grass. Mac brought Manny in and sat him down.
Emily stared into his eyes. "How are you feeling?"
"Better. I'm sorry if I've hurt you."
"I don't need an apology from you."
"Commissioner Scorpio there's a phone call for you," said a police officer.
"Don't worry Mac I'll be fine. He's handcuffed."
Mac sighed. "I'll be right back."
Emily walked over to Manny. "You're going to court tomorrow."
"Alexis thinks I stand a good chance, but I don't really care. I deserve what ever I get."
"You won't get enough from the courts."
Manny smiled. "Are you going to give it to me?" he asked standing up.
"Sit down, please."
"Make me," he said touching her.
Emily kneed him in the balls and he dropped backwards. She stuck her high heeled clad foot on his stomach holding him down. "Don't touch me."
"Oh you know you want it," he said running his hand up her leg. She yanked her leg away and stepped on his groin.
"You've twisted enough women's minds if you think you'll get away with this you're sadly mistaken. I'm a Quartermaine don't forget that." She turned and walked away. She was shaking and Mac rushed over to her.
"What happened? I knew I shouldn't have left you alone."
She took a deep breath. "Mac if he doesn't rot in jail then I don't know what you and Lucky are here for." She let a tear slip and walked away.
Jason walked into the room and grabbed Manny and slammed him down into the chair. "You know jail can be a nasty place for scum like you."
"Is that a threat?" asked Manny.
Jason smiled. "That's a fact. Sleep tight."
Jason walked out of the room and hurried out after Emily.
"Emily," he said.
Emily turned around. "Jase," she said running into his arms. He held her. "I just had to know."
"It's all right. Shhh," he said stroking her hair. "Come on. I'm meeting Sam for lunch." He put his arm around her waist and she rested her head against his shoulder.
"What would I do without you?" she asked.
He smiled. "I think you'd do just fine."
