An undisclosed location
Kellie walked into to a house. In the living were Bernie and Alex handcuffed to chairs with four guards to make sure they didn't escape.
"I hope you find the accommodations to your liking," Kellie said.
"You are hardly in a position to be setting yourself above the likes of us," Bernie said.
"I'm not the one tied up and under the watchful eye of armed guards," Kellie said, "Now what did you do with themoney I'm sure you helped embezzle from my father?" She pulled out a chair and sat. She pulled out her gun and began toying with it in such a way that seemed disinterested, yet calculated at the same time.
Bernie and Alex remained silent.
"Have they been this way all week?" Kellie asked. One of the guards nodded.
"I don't think you fully comprehend the gravity of the situation," Bernie said, "We have information for you concerning someone or something very valuable to you."
"And you'd be willing to negotiate for it," Kellie said, "I won't kill you. I might not even beat you up if you just tell me what I need to know to get my father out of prison. As for the money, I'm sure it went to your boss, Ramon."
Bernie managed to remain unmoved, but Alex couldn't keep his reaction hidden. The look of shock on his face gave it away.
"I am right," Kellie said, "Ramon is behind all this. You two are going to sing more than any bird ever could."
"Alex, don't say a word," Bernie said.
Kellie stood up and moved closer to Alex. Alex squirmed.
"Miss Corinthos," Bernie said, "I wouldn't do that. We have something you'd be very interested in and I'm not referring just to information to get your father out of prison."
"And I think you're bluffing," Kellie said, getting closer to Alex, "For someone that is supposed to be a guard, you're pretty jumpy. I'm not even pointing my gun at you. You're not so tough when you can't use your hands to get rough."
Kellie started to raise her gun.
"It was all a set up," Alex yelled. Before he could say anything else, one of the guards shot him dead.
"That's enough, Miss Corinthos," Bernie said. He nodded to the guard, "Thank you." Bernie stood up from the chair.
"We knew it would only be a matter of time before you came to question us yourself," Bernie said, "You will come with us to meet Ramon. He has a proposition for you."
"If you think I am going anywhere with you," Kellie said, "Then maybe I'm not the one who should be seeing a shrink."
"You don't get," Bernie said, "We set up your father so you would be in charge."
"I'm supposed to be grateful," Kellie said, "If your boss thinks I'm going to take orders from him, he obviously hasn't done his homework. I don't even take orders from the once great Sonny Corinthos."
"That's why we made sure we would have an incentive for you to cooperate," Bernie said.
"I'm tired of your bullshit," Kellie said, attempting to leave. All four guards blocked her path.
"So all of these guards are on your payroll," Kellie said, "It makes it a little harder, but not that much harder."
"Take her," Bernie said. One the guards reached to grab her. Kellie ducked and then went to tackle him at the knees. He went down. Kellie scrambled to get up as another guard put a gun to her head.
"Give me your gun," he said.
Kellie started to give him the gun. He went to grab her arm as he went to take the gun. She pulled the trigger. He went down as the bullet hit him in the chest. The other two guards were working to get Bernie out of the safe house as the tackled guard got up to take care of Kellie.
"Are you sure you want to end up like your friend?" Kellie said. The guard tried to tackle Kellie. She shot him in the leg, ran past him, and went outside to find Bernie and the other two guards. Milo came running from down the street.
"What happened?" he asked, "How did Bernie end up free?"
"The guards I hired to baby sit Bernie and Alex were dirty," Kellie said, "They tried to kidnap me." She pulled out her cell phone, "Hey, Lorenzo, I need you to send a clean up team out to this address. I'll explain later." She hung up.
