Kellie walked downstairs.
"You finally decided to come out," Sonny said, "Breakfast is cold."
"I can take care of myself," Kellie said "You said you'd give me cash to get some clothes."
"I thought you could take care of yourself," Sonny said.
"I realized I don't have a lot of clothes in the first place," Kellie said, "My clothes took the same beatings I have. Besides, Luke said I should take advantage of your generosity such as it is before leaving."
"Take Milo with you," Sonny said, handing her the cash.
"Yeah, whatever," Kellie said.
Later that day
Sonny finds Kellie changing the lock on her door.
"What are you doing?" Sonny asked.
"Putting a lock on the door," Kellie said.
"I thought you went to buy clothes," Sonny said.
"I did," Kellie said, "I went and got a lock too."
"You won't hurt the boys," Sonny said, "I thought we decided you didn't need the lock."
"You decided Sonny," Kellie said, "I didn't agree to that."
"You're over doing it, Kellie" Sonny said, "One of the guards can finish putting the lock on since you insist on it."
"I'm done, now here's an extra key," Kellie said.
"Why would you give.." Sonny started to say.
"I'm not stupid enough to leave myself in a position to get myself locked in a room," Kellie said, "Are you that dense?"
"Never mind, dumb question," Kellie said.
"Sonny," Jason yelled from downstairs.
"Oh good, we can start talking strategy," Kellie said, "And not the kind of strategy over whether or not you want to use duct tape or a muzzle as behavioral therapy for my mouth." She made her way downstairs.
"Did you ever ask yourself why Devin insisted on helping you?" Jason asked.
"Because he's working for Ethan," Kellie said, "I'd also bet Ethan told him to tell you who I really am."
"Does he know you know?" Jason asked.
"I don't think so," Kellie said.
"Why didn't you tell us he's was working for Ethan," Sonny said, "You can't keep doing this."
"Doing what?" Kellie asked.
"Not telling us stuff like this," Sonny said.
"It would have come up eventually," Kellie said, "I didn't think it was a big deal."
"Help me understand why you would let Ethan keep tabs on you," Sonny said.
"It's a hell of a lot easier to figure out what the enemy is planning when you know where he is," Kellie said, "What resources do I have to work with?"
"Kellie, you just got out of the hospital," Sonny said, "You don't have to make plans right away."
"I'm not talking about executing tonight," Kellie said, "I might as well use the time to work out a plan to take down Ethan."
"Jason and I will handle Ethan," Sonny said, "You don't have to be involved."
"I'm involved whether you like it or not," Kellie said.
"You don't have to be," Sonny said, "You shouldn't have to deal with Ethan."
"Well, life's not fair," Kellie said, "I've had to deal with Ethan for a long time. It's my fight I need to finish it. No one else can."
"Kellie, I don't want you involved in the business," Sonny said, "I'll handle Ethan to keep you from seeing things that.."
"That might taint my innocence," Kellie said, "It's kind of late for that. You need to realize that I am not a little girl. I've done and seen things that would make even you cringe Corinthos. The violence, the horror is already a part of me. I've already done things that make your life seem like child's play."
"You don't have deal with that anymore," Sonny said.
"I will not sit back and let you handle Ethan for me," Kellie said, "You can't. You need me to do it no matter what. I know more about Ethan than you do. Besides, you need my connection with Devin. If you won't help me, I'll find the information on your organization and utilize your resources myself."
"My men won't take orders from you," Sonny said.
"But they'll take orders from me," Jason said, "Kellie's involved deeper than any of us. The only way for us to do this is bring Kellie into the business."
"This isn't up for discussion," Sonny said.
"That's right, it's not," Kellie said, "The only way you're keeping me out of this is if I'm dead. So quit seeing me as you who wish I was and realize that walking away isn't an option for me. I've been through more than you can imagine with Ethan. The only way I'll ever be able to let this go, is if I put a bullet in him myself."
"The bastard's not worth jail," Sonny said.
"It'll be self-defense," Kellie said, "Even Durant won't be able to argue. And that's saying something."
"Kellie, I will not allow you to involve yourself any further in this," Sonny said, "I'm your father and you will do what you're told."
"You are not my father," Kellie said, "How many times do we have to go through this?"
"Until your mouth stops flapping long enough for you get that through your head," Sonny yelled.
"In other words when hell freezes over and you lose the god complex," Kellie said.
"Enough, both of you," Jason said.
"Ric, wasn't exaggerating when he said Sonny and Kellie reenact world war two fives times over when they're in the same room," Alexis said, entering the room.
"What are you doing here?" Sonny asked.
"I had to see Sonny's sassy-mouthed daughter for myself," Alexis said, "I like her already."
"It's nice to know someone around here doesn't want to take my mouth, tie it up with chains, and throw it in the river," Kellie said, "I'll overlook that you referred to me as his daughter as long as you don't do it again."
"It just irritates you, Sonny, that you can't control that," Alexis laughed.
"Alexis, don't encourage her," Jason said, "When you leave, I'll have to referee these two."
"Just give her what she wants Sonny," Alexis said, "That's probably the only way to get her to shut up."
"Even if what she wants is to be involved in my business," Sonny said, "I won't allow it."
"I should be appalled at you Kellie," Alexis said, "But the irony is hilarious."
"Alexis, you're not helping," Sonny said, "I can take care of Ethan for her. She doesn't have to be involved."
"Yes I do" "Yes she does" Kellie and Jason said simultaneously
"I won't allow it," Sonny yelled.
"Catholic school girl, I am not," Kellie said. Pulled her gun and cocked it as she headed upstairs, "Now if you'll excuse me I have a certain rapist's demise to plot."
"She was joking about plotting someone's demise, right?" Alexis asked.
"She better be. I should have never given her that gun," Sonny said.
"First step gun, next step your resources," Kellie yelled downstairs, "Then I leave town."
"Smart girl, use you and run," Alexis said, "I think I'll invite her to dinner." Alexis headed upstairs.
"I need a muzzle," Sonny said.
"For which one, Kellie or Alexis," Jason asked, "Sonny, I know you want to believe Kellie could just forget everything's that happened. She said it herself she can't."
"Put her in therapy," Sonny said.
"Sonny, she killed several of Ethan's men in California," Jason said, "From what I gather, it was bloody even by our standards. Ethan cleaned it up. The cops never knew."
"I never wanted any of my kids to choose this life," Sonny said, "It's turns out I have kid who grew up to choose the life without my influence."
"She didn't choose it, Sonny," Jason said, "It chose her. Kellie knows that. Besides, if she leaves town when this is over, she may not be as involved in the life."
"Make sure Kellie doesn't try anything," Sonny said, "I'll be back in awhile."
"She'll probably take up Alexis on her offer for dinner, just to get away from you," Jason said.
