"I want nothing to with the spawn of low-life criminals," Durant said as Kellie walked into his office.
"Well, you don't get a choice," Kellie said, sitting down. She threw a folder on Durant's desk.
"What's this?" Durant asked.
"All the information you need to take down Ethan Esoterra and his business," Kellie said.
"Where did you get it?" Durant asked.
"Bits and pieces I've collected while on the run," Kellie said, "Some I've collected here in Port Charles. It's enough to start an investigation and not taint the trial."
"What do you get out of this?" Durant asked.
"A life, whatever that is," Kellie said, "I can help you speed things up. But you have to work with me and Corinthos's men."
"I will not work with criminals," Durant said, "Unless this ends with your father behind bars."
"I don't consider Corinthos my father," Kellie said, "I have no family loyalties to Corinthos. However, I owe him enough to not put him in prison."
"Corinthos is part of the package or no deal," Durant said.
"I don't have enough information on Corinthos to give you to put him away," Kellie said, "I know your sole purpose in life is putting my sperm donor behind bars, but I really thought you were smart enough to know a good deal when you see one. Besides, I would think you'd want Ethan behind bars considering he stabbed your grandson."
"If you just left town, my grandsons might be safer," Durant said.
"There's no guarantee, he won't go after them anyway," Kellie said.
"Why does Corinthos have to be involved at all?" Durant asked, "Why not just use law enforcement?"
"Ethan tends to be above the law," Kellie said, "The faster we take down Ethan, the safer everyone is." Kellie hesitated for a minute. She handed Durant another file. "This has information on everything he's done to me and how he got off."
"I'm still not convinced," Durant said.
"You'll come out of this completely clean and with credit for taking down one of the most notorious criminals known internationally," Kellie said.
"What's the plan?" Durant asked.
"Ethan and Corinthos are having a meeting tomorrow night at the coffee warehouse to discuss a business arrangement," Kellie said, "You need to send two teams of men, one to Ethan's base of operations and one to Corinthos's warehouse. Ethan typically deals in drug trafficking and arms dealing. I'm assuming he wants use of the docks to run drugs through. You come in time to bust Ethan for attempting to make that deal."
"What about Corinthos?" Durant asked.
"You know Corinthos doesn't deal in drugs," Kellie said, "Last time I checked, it wasn't illegal for meetings to occur. As long as Corinthos doesn't agree to the drug deal, he's in the clear."
"What makes you think Corinthos will be willing to work with me?" Durant asked.
"I may not accept him as my father, but to him I'm still his daughter," Kellie said, "He will work with you for my sake. I'm calling the shots here and no one else."
"The great Sonny Corinthos handing power over to a mere girl," Durant said, "I never thought I'd see the day."
"My mouth is an effective weapon when the occasion calls for it," Kellie said, "He hates that I have any involvement in this at all."
"You're smarter than he is," Durant said, "I'll give you credit for that. He'd never involve me in the take down of any enemy."
"The law can be useful," Kellie said, "It depends on the people enacting it."
"What else do I need to know?" Durant asked.
"Your two teams need to consist of people not located in Port Charles," Kellie said, "Less chance of anyone having already been bought off by Ethan. I know you have FBI contacts. One of our men is PI, who works for Ethan. Our plans for him included giving Ethan a false layout and plan. As far as he knows we don't know he's working for Ethan." Kellie said.
"What about Ethan's side?" Durant asked.
"We don't know," Kellie said, "But between Corinthos's men and your team, I think we'll outnumber him. Here's a copy of where you should cover the warehouse from."She handed him another file.
"Are you expecting this to be bloody," Durant asked.
Kellie nodded. "If anyone asks, you were pressuring me for information on Sonny and Ethan. I didn't comply. When everything starts tomorrow, you and I meet here where I am supposed to be turning over evidence. We'll be here and then make our way to the warehouse."
"What happens when this is over," Durant asked.
"I leave town," Kellie said, "and you are free to continue whatever war you and Corinthos have going on."
"I'll do it," Durant said.
"I'll see you tomorrow night," Kellie said. She headed out of his office. "If you cross me, Corinthos will be the least of your problems." She opened the door, "Leave me out of your war with Corinthos," she yelled, "I want nothing to do with it."
"Well, when I arrest your father, I'll be smiling when I arrest you as an accessory," Durant said, "I suggest you turn your father into the authorities to save your self."
"Nothing will save me as long as Ethan's around," Kellie replied.
"Come on Kellie," Ric said, "You and Durant are as lethal as gasoline and matches." He dragged her out of the station.
"Do you want to tell me what that was about?" Ric asked.
"Durant wanted to use me to get to Sonny," Kellie said.
"You don't hate Sonny enough to put him in a cell then," Ric asked.
"I may not acknowledge him as my father," Kellie said, "But I have no need or reason to put him in a cell."
"Are you going soft on my brother?" Ric asked.
"We've managed to reach an understanding of sorts," Kellie said, "What that is I don't know."
"Why don't you come over for dinner?" Ric said, "You look like you could use a chance to unwind."
"And get away from the Godfather Compound," Kellie said.
"So you'll come?" Ric asked.
"Sure," Kellie said, "I need to talk to you and Alexis anyway."
"About what," Ric asked.
"Some nasty stuff is about to go down," Kellie said, "I'm having extra security put on Molly and Kristina."
"You mean Sonny is," Ric said.
"No I am," Kellie said, "Sonny underestimates a lot of things about this situation. He's in a denial about a lot. Sonny isn't calling the shots here. I am with Jason's help."
"Sonny's not too happy about that," Ric said.
"Well, he understands that I have to do this," Kellie said, "That's all I can ask."
"Well, thanks for looking out for Molly and Kristina then," Ric said, "I wish you could find another way to.."
"I can't Uncle Ric," Kellie said, "The best I can do is keep innocent children from being caught in the crossfire."
"Did a child suffer in this cat and mouse game once before," Ric asked, "Your compassion for children seems to be overshadowed by a sadness when you're around them."
Kellie hesitated and then said, "I miscarried because of Ethan. Please don't ask for the details."
"Losing a child is painful," Ric said, "Unfortunately, I can tell you that from experience. He really did take everything from you."
"Well, what's done is done," Kellie said.
