"Rough night first night on the job bartending?" Mike asked.
"That was cake," Kellie said, "It's everything else. Don't ask."
"Can I get you something to eat?" Mike asked, "After all this is a diner."
"I'll take some coffee," Kellie said, "I'm not really hungry."
Mike poured her some coffee and put a piece of pie in front of Kellie, "You at least have to eat dessert."
Kellie stared at the pie for a minute and gave in. Sonny walked into the diner and headed for Mike and Kellie.
"What brings you here Michael?" Mike asked.
"I came to talk to you about her," Sonny said glancing at Kellie.
"Look, don't blame Mike for the fries," Kellie said, getting up, "You and I already had this discussion about directing your anger towards people who happen to be bystanders."
"Have you talked to Ethan about backing off," Sonny asked. Kellie shook her head. "It can't be that hard to find him."
"I don't find him," Kellie said, "He finds me."
"Am I missing something here?" Mike asked.
"Aside from the fact that your son seems to have some sort of god complex," Kellie said, "I don't think so. I'm out of here." She turned to leave.
"Kellie," Sonny said, pausing, "I'm sorry for what I said to you earlier. It was out of line."
"Yeah, whatever," Kellie said, leaving.
"What did you do the girl?" Mike asked, "I didn't think giving your sons fries warranted that kind of treatment. I know about the arrest but she straightened it out."
"She's trouble," Sonny said, "Or rather trouble follows her."
"I'm not following," Mike said.
"She's being stalked. The stalker shows inclinations of being a problem for me," Sonny said.
"Then why are you jumping all over her?" Mike asked, "Why not work with her?"
"Well, she won't talk and with the exception of the last five years, no one can find a paper trail on her," Sonny said.
"Do you know what happened 5 years ago?" Mike asked.
Sonny hesitated, "She was raped. He got off and has been stalking her across the country since."
"Michael, no wonder she doesn't want to talk," Mike said, "Does it matter what happened prior to that?"
"Everything this guy has done in the last five years has been geared toward having Kellie," Sonny said, "Him coming my direction makes no sense. We can't find the connection in the last five years. Look, just don't let Kellie near my sons again." Sonny got up and left.
Kellie walked back in. "I'm sorry you got caught in the middle of that," she said.
"My son isn't the easiest person for anyone to get along with," Mike said, "He just wants to protect his family."
"I can respect that," Kellie said, "But you can't control everything."
"Speaking from experience?" Mike asked, "Sonny told me what happened to you."
"The whole town will know tonight at this rate," Kellie said, "So much for not even registering as a blip on the radar screen."
"No secret is safe in Port Charles," Mike said, "You're better off working with my son than against him."
"So I've been told," Kellie said.
"By who?" Mike asked.
"Carly," Kellie answered.
"Dare I ask how Carly's involved?" Mike asked.
"Someone broke into my room at Jake's last night," Kellie said, "Coleman didn't want the trouble. The short of it is I'm staying at the Metro Court at Carly's insistence."
"You are trouble," Mike said.
"Story of my life," Kellie said, laughing, "I'll see you around."
