Back at Greystone
Kellie opened the door to her room. Ethan was waiting.
"Corinthos needs to install a better security system," Kellie said.
"How are you and daddy dearest getting along?" Ethan asked.
"I hate his guts," Kellie said, "I really don't understand what he has to do with any of this."
"You have a lot of pride when it comes to others suffering for what you see as your fault," Ethan said, "I figure why not use it to my advantage."
"I've always been a better shot with a gun than you," Kellie said, "I figure I've got the upper hand." She inched slowly toward the door.
"Kellie, I had a nightmare," Morgan's voice came from the hallway.
"Morgan, go to your room, I'll be there in a minute," Kellie said.
Ethan pulled a gun, "Tell him to come here."
Kellie pulled her gun and shot. The bullet grazed Ethan's shooting arm. He dropped the gun.
"Next time I won't be so gracious with how much of your body I send a bullet through," Kellie said.
"Is everything alright?" Max asked.
"Ethan's in my room," Kellie said, "Get Morgan out of here."
Ethan lunged at Kellie. She fired again hitting his shoulder, but not before he took a swipe at her with a knife. Kellie moved backwards, trying to leave. She backed into Jason. He switched places with her. Ethan jumped out the window as Jason fired gun shots.
Sonny came up behind Kellie, "Are you hurt?"
"It's just a scratch," Kellie said.
"You need stitches," Sonny said looking at the cut across Kellie's stomach, "Max, I want a full search of the grounds. We need to get you to the hospital."
"I've seen enough of that place. Can we just find someone willing to make a house call?" Kellie asked.
"I'll call Monica," Jason said.
"Thanks," Kellie said.
Michael brought Kellie some towels, "Here put these on your cut." Kellie took them and applied pressure to the wound.
"Can you walk?" Sonny asked.
Kellie tried to get up, "It hurts."
Jason scooped Kellie up and carried her downstairs to the couch.
"You need to install a better security system, Corinthos," Kellie said, "How many times have people broken in here?"
"Once," Sonny said.
"Since I got here," Kellie said, "That doesn't include the break-ins prior to my arrival."
"Who's been talking to her?" Sonny said.
"No one. Your enemies make for fascinating reading," Kellie said.
"You're bleeding and your mouth still won't quit," Sonny said.
"Where's the patient?" Monica asked, coming in.
"On the couch," Kellie said.
"You can't get through one week without needing medical attention," Monica said.
"Some people go to church every week," Kellie said, "I get medical attention every week."
"You should be quiet. Save your strength," Sonny said.
"Go find a mirror and worship yourself," Kellie said, "You'll get more accomplished that way."
"Your father's right, you need to be quiet while I stitch you up," Monica said.
"He's not my father," Kellie said.
"Kellie," Jason said, "Do you want to go to the hospital again?"
"Are they always like this?" Monica asked.
"Worse," Jason said.
"I feel sorry for you," Monica said, "As for you, Kellie, you won't be able to move too much for at least a week. In two weeks, we'll see about taking the stitches out."
Kellie tried to get up. She laid back on the couch. "I hate this."
"In that respect you're definitely Sonny's daughter," Monica said, "Hopefully you'll actually take medical advice unlike him."
"Thanks, Monica," Jason said. They walked out.
"You need to get me out of town without Ethan knowing until I heal," Kellie said.
"You don't need to leave," Sonny said, "We'll add more security. Heighten the security system."
"Well, your track record with security sucks," Kellie said, "Like I said your enemies make for fascinating reading."
"She's right," Jason said, "It would be better for her to leave town for awhile."
"Sonny, how close did Morgan come to being right in the middle of tonight's incident?" Kellie asked, "Do you really want to risk that especially with me basically out of commission?"
"We'll make sure Ethan can't get to you," Sonny said.
"You said that before and look what happened," Kellie said, "He's gotten to me twice now under your protection."
"We know where the loopholes in security are and we'll fix them," Sonny said.
"I have hard time believing that," Kellie said, "You can fix them while I'm not here."
"What happened to Ethan will kill me if I leave town?" Sonny asked.
"We'll make it look like I'm still here or at least make sure he can't find me," Kellie said.
"So what we send you to a safe house," Sonny said.
"The island," Jason said, "There's lot of people, yet it's somewhat secluded."
"You should listen to Jason more often," Kellie said, "Is this the island with a casino?"
"You don't have any money to gamble with," Sonny said.
"I have some in tips from the Haunted Star," Kellie said, "And I'm sure you won't mind letting me gamble with your money. You can afford it."
"I haven't even agreed to let you go," Sonny said
"You will," Kellie said, "I think I should leave tonight while Ethan is busy getting medical attention. He'll be distracted. He might not realize I'm gone."
"Jason, you go to the island with Kellie get her settled and come back here," Sonny said, "Get Kellie's stuff and I'll call the pilot."
"You have your gun?" Jason asked.
Kellie pointed to the gun on the coffee table. Sonny was on the phone.
"You just have your clothes?" Jason asked.
Kellie nodded. Jason turned to head upstairs. "Jason, I put something in the lock box," Kellie said.
"You want me to pack that?" Jason asked.
"Bring it to me please," Kellie asked.
Jason got Kellie's things. He handed Kellie the ring on a chain. He took her stuff out to the limo.
"Everything's set," Sonny said. Jason walked back in.
"You ready to go?" Jason asked.
"A vacation from the god complex," Kellie said, "I can't get out of here fast enough."
"Nice to know I'll be missed," Sonny said.
"Let's go, before the next round starts between you two starts," Jason said.
