Disclaimer: Once again y'all know it by now.

The timing was perfect Sonny nor Jason knew what I had planned and I was going to keep it that way. I walked out of the house telling Dillon that I would be out for a while but that if anything happened and I wasn't back in two hours to call Sonny. I quietly walked down the back ally hoping that the clicking of my heels was only my imagination. But nope I knew that the attack that I had planned was only going to go as well as I had hoped. I had my gun in front of me and, a sharp eye watching for things to move.

"Well, Kitten I didn't actually think that you were going to show up but now that you have showed up, I think we can take care of business." I heard the hiss of the man I was looking for. "And I see you came alone. What a surprise. Does Sonny or Jason know that you are here doing their business for them?"

"First off you forget that my name is Corinthos and that this is just as much my business as it is theirs. Secondly, they didn't need to know because when I get through with you they won't need to worry about you again." I said as I smiled through the venom coming from my mouth.

"I like how you think kitten except that they will still be worried because I don't give up without a fight. So here's a clue as to what you need to learn about me. I'm like a cat, you may try to kill me but I'm just gonna keep on coming back." He said as he paced around me trying to figure out a way to get the gun out of my hands.

With one look I knew what he was thinking, and without a second thought I pulled the trigger, and shot him in the chest. I watched him fall and tried to stop smiling but wouldn't you know I couldn't. I had shot the man that had put me and my friends through so much hell in the past two and a half months that I couldn't stop smiling down at the limb body at my feet.

"Corinthos?" I heard Sonny ask into the phone.

"Hey I need a guy at the empty warehouse on Minot Ave. I've got a body clean up for them." I said as I walked to my car and turned it on.

"Joey. What the hell did you do?"

"Oh just took care of a rat problem." I said as I pulled out of the parking space and onto the street to my left on my way back to the safe house.

"Josephina Rachel Corinthos. You tell me what you did and you tell me now." He said as I tried not to laugh in his face.

"Sonny you are so worried about nothing. Just get a guy down there now. And then I will stop by your place and tell you to your face. I promise." I said as I pulled into the driveway of the safe house and walked inside to check in with Dillon.

"Fine but you better be here in twenty minutes or I'm going to start to worry about you." He said and then hung up. Boy was I in for one hell of a yelling match. It was not going to be a very pretty thing. But that was what happened when you did things behind your brother's back, that could result in hiim getting in trouble.

I couldn't stop smiling as I drove down the road to Sonny's knowing full well he was either going to be so pissed at me that I wasn't going to be able to help myself and I'd start crying or he'd be so proud of me that I'd be drinking a beer in ten minutes. Either way I knew Sonny was going to apologize for underestimating me the ssame way that the members of the five families had eariler in the afternoon.

Not long I know and I'm sorry but it is becoming very hard for me to stay on topic when i have four or five stories going on. Plus I have three other stories under the Gilmore Girls.
