At the Greystone

"Carly's having your stuff from the Metro Court sent over," Sonny said.

"I'm staying in the guest house I take it," Kellie said, "That's what was discussed before."

Sonny shook his head, "You'll have a room upstairs."

"I'd rather stay in the guest house," Kellie said, "More privacy."

"It's easier for Ethan to get to you in the guest house," Sonny said. "Besides, everything, you'll need is here."

"I want a gun," Kellie said, changing the subject.

"I'll give you money tomorrow if you're feeling better you can buy clothes and anything else you need," Sonny said, "Anywhere you go, take Milo with you."

"And a gun," Kellie said.

"That's what your guard is for," Sonny said, "You don't need one."

"You're not listening. Get the divine supremacy out of your ears. I…want…a…gun," Kellie said, "I know how to use it if that's what you're worried about. I'll make sure your sons won't get to it."

"I'm not getting you a gun," Sonny said.

"I don't care about the clothes," Kellie said, "I'm only asking you for a gun. You can't even give me that."

"We'll discuss it later," Sonny said.

"In other words, you'll tell me I can't have a gun later," Kellie said, "Nice to know you care. Where's my room? The god complex is suffocating."

"Third door on the left," Sonny said. She headed up stairs slowly.

"We'll discuss that mouth of yours later," Sonny yelled.

"My mouth's just fine," Kellie yells, "Besides it's one of the few things you can't control."

"She wasn't raised anywhere near me and the first thing she wants is a gun," Sonny said to himself.

"It's not a bad idea," Jason said, "Here's the papers Carly signed."

"Giving Kellie a gun?" Sonny said, "She shouldn't have to deal with the violence. I can take care of it."

"Kellie already deals with it," Jason said, "I know you don't want to hear this, even when Ethan's not an issue, this life is so much a part of her, she won't be able to leave it, not completely. This life is as much a part of her as it is us."

"Time will change that," Sonny said.

"You think Kellie's will just be an obedient daughter now that you know she's yours, let you take care of Ethan and leave her in the dark, Sonny?" Jason said, "This is her fight. She has to finish it."

"She shouldn't have to," Sonny said.

"I know you want to protect her," Jason said.

"Damn right, I want to protect her," Sonny said.

"She doesn't trust us, Sonny," Jason said, "The only thing Kellie trusts is a gun. She needs a gun for some of the same reasons I do. It gives her security."

"The guards will give her security," Sonny said.

"You really think she'll trust the guards after Ethan almost raped her again," Jason said, "If you don't give her a gun I will."

"This conversation's over," Sonny said, "Go dig for information on the PI."

Jason shook his head and left.

Sonny went to his safe and pulled out a lock box with gun. He went upstairs. He knocked on Kellie's door.

"Is this the part where you try to put my mouth through boot camp?" Kellie said. Sonny opened the door.

"Does your mouth ever stop?" Sonny asked.

"When I'm sleeping," Kellie said, "Or passed out or sedated."

"Sorry, I asked," Sonny asked.

"Is that a gun?" Kellie said, smiling.

"I'm sure I'll regret this," Sonny said, "Now, I don't need to lecture you that it's not a toy?"

Kellie rolled her eyes, "You really have to ask?" She took the gun.

"At least mob boy is good for something," Kellie said.

"I'll tell you once, you don't eavesdrop," Sonny said, "There are things about my business you don't need to know."

"I think it's a little late for that," Kellie said, "Besides, as much as you hate it, I am involved in the business as you call it. Now I'm tired. So go plan how to silence my mouth. I'm sure it'll just add fuel to the fire. Bye bye."

Sonny opened his mouth as if he was going to say something, but thought the better of it. He left.

Kellie checked out the gun, put it under her pillow and went to sleep.

On the docks

Devin was pacing the docks. He hadslipped away unnoticed from General Hospital earlier.

Devin sensed someone in the shadows.

"Kellie's right, you're not as good at that lurking in the shadows thing as you'd like to think, Ethan," Devin said.

"And don't you forget who holds all the cards here," Ethan said.

"I did what you wanted and now everyone knows that Kellie Riley is Kelly Riley Corinthos," Devin said, "Could you just leave me alone now?"

"I'll just tell you not to be surprised when your mother has an accident in the nursing home," Ethan said, "You've done good so far. I'll be in touch ina few days." Ethan left.
