"Did you do it just like instructed?" asked Manny.
"Of Course, kids weren't there anymore. It was just Corintho's and that girl, Jason's sister." The man replied.
"So, no bodies then?" Manny asked with malice.
"Not one, just a scare like you asked" The man replied satisfied with his victory and making his boss proud.
"Next time, they won't be so lucky." Manny smirked and laughed a little.
"No they will not" the man agreed. "When will we execute the second mission?"
"Tomorrow if not, the day after, let them enjoy the New Years celebration, after all it will be their last." Manny said walking out off of the couch. Manny walked to the window and saw that it began to snow hard, he knew that it was going to snow for the next three days. "Perfect, the roads will be slippery and visibility will be terrible, no easy escape plans" Manny told the man not looking at him. 'I will win this battle against Corinthos' Manny thought to himself with self assurance. Just as soon as Manny blinked he got another idea. "There has been a change of plans" Manny suddenly looked at the man.
"What?" asked the man, "Everything is set, you can't change plans now?"
"Oh trust me you'll like it" said Manny even more convinced that he not only will win the battle against Sonny, but the war as well.

"Jason, listen to me!" Sam yelled as he walked down the stairs of their pent house.
"No, Sam, I know exactly what your going to say. 'Stay out of it Jason, Sonny and Emily love each other'" Jason said mocking Sam a little bit.
"Stop that!" she hit him on the chest.
"Look I do not want my sister and Sonny getting involved together. Drop it Sam!" Jason said getting aggravated.
"You told Sonny to stay way from her, didn't you?" asked Sam.
"What if I did? I have every right to look out for the well being of my sister" Jason said.
"You are the biggest hypocrite in the world do you know that? You have gone out and made Sonny, stay away from your sister; you have told the two people that you love most in this world, to stay away from each other. Guess what Jason you have just told them how to live their lives!" Sam said pointing the guilty finger at Jason.
"Don't point that finger at me you hear?" Jason said. "Listen to me I love Sonny just as much as I love Emily, and if Sonny hurts her I don't know if I'll forgive Sonny. Emily is my blood she's a part of me. Sonny's tie to me is just as strong as Emily's but I never, EVER, want to choose between them, do you hear me. I'm scared that I'm going to have to choose and I'm scared I can't" Jason said finally confessing his true feelings to Sam.
Sam just backed off and took a deep breath. She finally understood him, and where he was coming from. "Jason, let's not fight okay. I'm sorry, I truly am. It's just that I know Emily loves Sonny, and Sonny I believe is falling for Emily. Both of them have been hurt so bad in previous relationships, and I believe that they would be so happy together. I just wanted them to have what we have Jason; a love like no other." Sam said pausing. Jason simply looked at her and finally understood where she was coming from. "Besides, they would have been perfect considering that he would have been your best man and Emily my maid of honor." Sam said laughing now. He just grabbed her and threw her on the couch and began to kiss her.
"Happy New Year" Jason said looking at the clock a couple minutes later.
"Happy New Year, Jase" Sam said kissing him on the check and falling asleep in the comfort of his arms.

Emily walked down the stairs of Sonny's house very quietly. She had not spoken to him since the 'fight' they had. She could see him; he was just staring at the fireplace. Emily closed her eyes and began to think of all the bad things that could happen to him if he went after Manny. God, she couldn't look at him in that way. 'I promised Jason' she told herself silently. Just as she thought of Jason she thought of Carly. 'He loved her.' She kept saying that to herself. When she got somewhat closer to Sonny, Emily could see that he was looking at something. It was the Christmas gift that she had gotten him. "Happy New Year" she almost couldn't be heard, because of her whisper.
Sonny didn't turn to look at her and simply kept staring at the fireplace. For a moment Emily thought that Sonny might not have heard her, but he had to have because he blinked for a long second as soon as he heard her voice, or was it her imagination. "Sonny?" she asked.
"I'm sorry" was all he whispered.
"Sonny I was out of line. I should not tell you how to run your business or how to deal with your enemies" Emily said kneeling down in front of him, putting her hands around his neck. At that moment Sonny looked at her and couldn't deny any longer that he did indeed love her.
"I want to be alone Emily" Sonny said no longer looking at her eyes, but her lips.
"I'm not going anywhere." Emily said sitting down in front of him facing the same way he was, the fireplace. He just enveloped her, and put his head on her shoulder and said nothing. He didn't have to, Emily knew Sonny was hurting and he needed support. She only wished she knew why.
