Haunted Star

Kellie was closing the haunted star. Jason walked up. They headed down the docks.

"I'm still a referee for you and Sonny," Jason said.

"Or you could stay out of it and just watch the fireworks," Kellie said, "I take it Sonny has already ranted about my delinquency."

"You could make an effort," Jason said.

"All I want is Ethan off my back and to leave town," Kellie said, "I see no reason to pretend I have an interest in Sonny other than what he can do about Ethan."

"At least fire less verbal bullets at each other," Jason said, "Michael and Morgan don't need to listen to it."

"I try," Kellie said, "Sonny gets on my case and my mouth takes over. Why are you here anyway?"

"I had Stan do some research on your former fiancée," Jason said.

"I told you I didn't want to know," Kellie said.

"He went to Yale. He's a defense lawyer in Miami. He actually has Roy Di Lucca, who oversees things down there for us, as a client," Jason said, "He's been seeing someone rather seriously for the last couple years."

"I should be furious with you," Kellie said.

"If I'd found out he wasn't okay," Jason said, "You'd never know I even looked into it. I didn't think you needed to live with that burden if you didn't have to."

"Thanks, I guess" Kellie said.

"You did the right thing," Jason said.

"I know," Kellie said, "Do you know if he's aware of anything that's going on here?"

"No," Jason said, "Do you want him to know?"

Kellie shook her head, "I don't want to do anything to upset his life."

"Does he know who your father is?" Jason asked.

"No," Kellie said, "I stopped using my last name when I was ten. He only knew me as Kellie Riley. Although, the staff at the island could never get that even though I told them not to call me Miss Corinthos."

"I suggest you start going by Corinthos," Jason said, "He might not ask questions if he gets wind of what's going on up here and there's less of a chance anyone connecting you to California."

"I think I'd rather go by Luke's name for me," Kellie said, "Slinger doesn't invoke a relationship to my father…I mean Sonny."

You have to swallow some pride," Jason said, "Seriously you and Sonny will be the death of me if you keep this up."

"I'll be out of town before that happens," Kellie said. She was shivering

"Where's your jacket?" Jason asked.

"I left it at the grey stone. I got used to the island weather," Kellie said. Jason put his jacket on Kellie.

"Thanks," Kellie said.

"I'll take you back to Sonny's," Jason said.

The Greystone

Kellie handed Jason back his jacket. "I hope everyone's asleep," She said.

"Around here, who knows?" Jason said, "I can't believe you of all people have never ridden a motorcycle before."

"They didn't offer Harley 101 at my high school," Kellie said, "And I never had the chance to learn in all my travels. It was fun"

"Thank god for that," Sonny said, "Don't ever take her riding again, Jason. The guns are bad enough."

"The god complex has awakened," Kellie said, "Will you please teach me to ride, Jason?"

"If you want to learn something, learn to shut your mouth and do what you're told," Sonny said, "It's safer."

"And riding a quad, isn't?" Kellie said, referring to Michael's ATV.

"I'll teach you as long as you actually want to learn," Jason said, "If you just want to learn to spite Sonny, I won't."

"I really want to learn," Kellie said, "And if Sonny doesn't like it, it's a bonus."

"Kellie, go to your room," Sonny said, "I need to discuss some things with Jason."

"I was headed there anyway," Kellie said, "Jason, thanks again for getting me that information."

"You're welcome," Jason said. Kellie headed upstairs.

"What information?" Sonny asked.

"It's something Kellie and no one else needed to know," Jason said.

"Jason, what did Kellie want to know?" Sonny asked, "I don't like people keeping secrets from me."

"It is none of your business, Sonny," Jason said.

"Dammit, Jason," Sonny yelled, "Don't do this to me. If there's something about Ethan I need to know, you need to tell me."

"Sonny, it has nothing to do with Ethan," Jason said, "Kellie carries a lot of guilt for various things and I just helped her unload some of it."

"Jason, I don't like being left in the dark," Sonny said.

"If you want to know ask Kellie," Jason said, "She won't tell you and you'll just start the next round with her."

"I'm her father. I have a right to know," Sonny said.

"Sonny, you have to let this go," Jason said, "Look, Kellie, has lost a lot more than any one could ever imagine and those loses are something she has to deal with in her own time and own way."

"Well, you're not going to teach her to ride motorcycles," Sonny said.

"Aside from the Haunted Star, Kellie doesn't have a whole lot of activities to keep her busy," Jason said, "The bike lessons will give her something to do and keep you two in separate corners longer."

"If she'd keep her mouth shut, we'd get along fine," Sonny said.

"Well, she won't and the less I have to referee you two the better," Jason said, "You and Kellie come down to the warehouse tomorrow and we'll start working out a plan."
