Jason walked into the PCPD. The girl was yelling at the cops.
"Let me go! I haven't done anything!" she yelled. Durant walked up to her.
"You failed to report Jason Morgan's attack on you," Durant said, "If you cooperate with me and testify against him, I'll drop the charges."
"Jason who?" she asked.
"Jason Morgan," Jason said.
She turned to look at him. Then she turned back to Durant. "You will drop those charges."
"Why would I do that, Kellie Riley?" Durant said.
"Morgan wasn't the one who attacked me. He came to help me when some other guy attacked me," she said, "So whatever stick you have up well where the sun don't
shine concerning mob boy over there, don't wave it at me."
Durant looked at the cops, "Process 'em."
"You heard the young ladies statement," Justus said, walking up to them, "Morgan didn't attack her. You have no case. If she didn't report the attack, who did?"
"A witness on the docks," Durant answered, "He's in protective custody."
Durant's cell phone rang. "This is Durant." Durant gets angry. "Sniper shot our witness. I'm holding you, Morgan, and Corinthos all on murder charges."
"Durant, you have no evidence to hold any of them," Justus said, "So unless you want a lawsuit for unlawful arrest on your hands, I suggest you let my clients go."
"Morgan, can go for now," Durant said, "I'm keeping miss Riley for failure to report a crime.
"Isn't my choice whether or not to report this guy and press charges?" Kellie looked at Justus.
"She's not your client. You can leave," Durant said.
Kellie pulled $5 out of her pocket and gave it to Justus. "Now I am," Kellie said.
"It is her choice," Justus said.
"Uncuff her," Durant said, "We'll need you to id the witness."
"Whatever," Kellie said, "I just want out of here."
Durant pulled a picture from a file and showed it to Kellie. "I haven't seen him before."
"What about your attacker?" Durant asked.
"It was dark. Black hair, dark eyes, I think. I can't be sure," Kellie said, "I can't tell you anything else. I hadn't seen him before. I don't think you have anything else to ask. So I'm leaving." She walked out of the PCPD.
Durant turned his attention to Morgan, "One of these days you'll slip up Morgan and I'll be on you like a cat to tuna fish."
Jason stared at Durant and left. Justus did the same.
Outside Kellie was waiting. "Thanks for your help in there," she said to Justus.
"It was no problem, miss Riley. Besides it's good to see Durant get put in his place," Justus said, "By the way, I'm Justus Ward. He reached his hand out towards Kellie.
"Please call me Kellie," she said, taking his hand to shake it. "What do I owe you?"
Justus reached into his pocket to give her back her $5, "Nothing. You just got caught in the middle of a rivalry. If Morgan hadn't of come to help you, Durant wouldn't have arrested you."
"If you're not going to charge me, at least keep the $5," Kellie said.
"I insist. I would have helped without the retainer," Justus said. "Besides, Morgan pays me pretty well." Kellie took the money. "I've got to get going. I've got a date with Lainey. Kellie, stay out of trouble and Morgan I'll see you around." Justus walked off.
Kellie turned to walk off. Jason grabbed her arm. "Why did you lie to Durant back there?" he said.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Kellie said, trying to get out of Jason's grasp.
"Your attacker was Durant's witness," Jason said, "Why lie about it?"
"You really should be thanking me," Kellie said, "Durant would still be pressing charges if I hadn't lied. Think of it this way, I'm saving the taxpayers a lot of money by taking us out of the equation."
"Who are you and why are you in Port Charles?" Jason said.
"Well, you already got my name at the station," Kellie said, "and it doesn't concern you."
"When it gets me arrested, it concerns me," Jason said, "Now start talking."
Kellie laughed. "Oh, mob boy thinks he's gonna make me talk," she said, yanking her arm from Jason's grasp, "Believe me Port Charles is the last place I want to be."
She walked off into the shadows.
