"Sonny, I need to talk to you and Jason both." Ned said. Sonny signaled Jason and the three of them went outside.
"I heard Michael talking to Jody at the grave just now. He said he was going to make everyone who hurt her pay. I'm not sure but I think he might have meant he's going to get revenge by hurting them." Ned said as Jason and Sonny looked at each other.
"Thanks for letting us know. We'll talk to him. I'm sure he didn't know what he was talking about. He's grieving for his girlfriend." Jason said as Ned went back into the house.
"Sonny, we need to talk to him. If he did mean it and he goes after then, they're not going to think twice before the kill him." Jason said.
"He told me he wanted to work with us to make sure Carly and Morgan don't have to go through this. I told him he can't and he seemed to understand me because he agreed he's not going to work with us, but maybe he only said that because he's planning something." Sonny said as they went back into the house.
"Emily, have you seen Michael?" Jason asked.
"He's in his room crying. I tried to talk to him but he told me to go away." Emily said.
"He's hurting right now. He didn't mean it. Jason said as he and Sonny went up to his room and knocked. Michael came and opened the door.
"Michael, Ned told us what you said to Jody at her grave. He was waiting to walk back to the house with you." Jason said.
"I didn't say anything." Michael said. Sonny noticed he had something under his blankets.
"Michael, what's under the blankets?" Sonny asked as he went over.
"Nothing." Michael replied as Sonny lifted the covers to reveal a gun. He and Jason shared a look.
"Michael, I know you want to get the people that have hurt Jody but this isn't the way. If you go and shoot them, we won't be able to protect you. These guys shoot first and ask questions later. Do you now what that means?" Sonny asked. Michael shook his head.
"It means they won't hesitate to shoot you. Even if you just point the gun at them, they'll shot you. Because you're my son and Jason's nephew, they'll shoot you without a second thought." Sonny said.
"But they need to be caught. This is the only way I can let Jody know how much I loved her and that I didn't kill her." Michael said as he took the gun and put it in his pants without Jasn or Sonny seeing.
"Jody knows how much you lovd he and that you didn't kill her." Jason said.
"I did kill her because If she wasn't involved with with me, she'd still be alive." Michael said as he grabbed the gun and ran out the door, downstairs and outside. Jason chased him outside but lost him. Everyone stopped talking. Jason went back in and saw Carly freaking out.
"How did he get a gun?" Carly asked as she gave both Jason and Sonny a look. If looks could kill, they would be dead.
"I don't know. We went in to talk to him because Ned said he was talking to Jody at her grave and he said he was going to make every one who hurt her pay. When we got up there, he had the gun under the blankets. I pulled back the blankets and there was the gun. Jason and I tried to calm him down but he ran out." Sonny said.
"I always knew Michael would turn out to be a thug like Jason." Edward said.
"Father, shut up or you will be sent to the cabin and you will be staying there for the rest of the weekend." Alan said.
"He's only specking the truth." Tracy said.
"Shut up mom." Dillon and Ned both yelled.
"We need to find him before he hurts himself." Georgie said as everyone except Tracy, Edward, Alan, Alice and Monica ran outside to look for him.
"Is it too much to ask for you to be nice to them for one weekend?" Alan asked.
"Well, they're obviously raising a thug. At the rate they're going, Morgan, Lila and Danny will be thugs as well. It's their family business, just like ELQ's ours." Edward said.
"Father, you are an ass. Can you not be concerned for one minute about Jason and Sonny's family?" Monica asked.
"Why should he? They're not part of our family." Tracy said.
"Jason is part of our family. He thinks of Sonny as his brother because when he lost his memory, he started working for him. Sonny's the only family he's known. That makes Sonny part of this family as well. And let's not forget Michael. He's AJ's son and Carly's son. When Carly and Sonny got married, he adopted Michael. That makes all of them as much a part of this family as the rest of us." Alan said.
"They only reason Sonny was able to adopt him was because he forced AJ to sign away his rights." Edward said.
"I've had enough of this. Both of you into the cabin and do not come out. Alice will be guarding the door and if you as much as open the door, she will hit you with a pan." Monica said as she and Alan dragged them into the cabin. Alice stood by the door.
A/N: I wanted to end this chapter with a little humor because the next few chapters will be serious.
