(A.N: I have rethought the whole Manny being nice thing and think it might be a better story if he's bad so He's faking it. Also I screwed up on the last chapter. Manny didn't ask them for supper).

Chapter 5

"Michael, come in. Jody, Michael's here." Manny said as Jody came downstairs.

"Uh, Jody, why are we in a room with cages?" Michael asked.

"Because this is my room." Jody replied. Michael looked confused.

"Jody, what are you telling me?" Michael asked.

"Mr. Ruiz isn't my dad. He kidnapped me from the group home I was staying at." Jody replied.

"Why didn't you say anything? I could've gotten my dad to help you." Michael asked.

"I didn't say anything because everything was fine. He did a good thing taking me away from the group home. I hated it there. But the night your parents called my dad, everything changed. As soon as we got home, he grabbed me by the arm, took me to this room and shut me in this cage." Jody explained as she started to cry. Michael pulled her into a hug.

"It's OK. I'll take care of you." Michael said as he kissed for head. They ran downstairs. They were going to sneak out but Manny was there.

"You're a liar. Jody's not your daughter. You kidnapped her from a group home." Michael yelled.

"Jody, whet have you been telling Michael?" Manny asked.

"The truth. I told him everything, including locking me in the cage." Jody replied. Manny began to get mad. Michael went and put a protective arm around her.

"So, you finally betrayed me. I was wondering how long it would take for you to brake. Now that you have, I can kill you. I wasn't expecting to but I can also kill a Corinthos as well." Manny said as he took out a gun from his pants. Michael grabbed Jody and went to the door. As they got to the door, 2 guys came in with guns as well. Michael and Jody took off upstairs. Just as the went to go into the caged room, Someone shot at them and hit Jody. Michel pulled Jody into the room and closed and locked the door. Looking around he saw a closet and they went and hid in there. 2 people came in. Michael kept a hand over Jody's mouth to keep her from screaming. Finally the guys left. Michael took off his shirt and pressed it on the wound then took out his cell phone. He tried the house.

"Hello." Sonny answered the phone.

"Dad, it's me. You need to help me and Jody. Manny's trying to kills us. Jody's been shot." Michael said.

"Where are you guys?" Sonny asked.

"At Manny's. We hid in a closet in one of the rooms." Michael replied.

"OK. Here's what I want you to do. Put something on Jody's wound to stop the bleeding." Sonny instructed.

"I took off my shirt already and put it on the wound." Michael replied.

"Good. Now, stay in the closet and don't come out. Uncle Jason and I are on the way." Sonny said as he hung up the phone.

"Max!" Sonny called. Max came in.

"Get the car ready. We need to get over to Manny's right away." Sonny said. Max left. He turned to the three adults who were staring at him.

"Manny's gone crazy. He's trying to kill Michael and Jody. Shots have been going off. Jody's been hit." Sonny said.

"What about Michael?" Carly asked.

"He's taking care of Jody. He's going to be fine." Sonny said as he and Jason went running out of the room.
