Kellie's Penthouse

The Next Day

Kellie opened the door. "Hey, Milo," she said, "I'm in the middle of an important phone call and I'm supposed to pick up a package on the docks, go get it will you."

"But you aren't supposed to be left alone," Milo said, "Jason and Sam's guards aren't here."

"I think I can handle half an hour by myself in the penthouse," Kellie said.

"But Jason and Lorenzo said," Milo began to say.

"Last time I checked you were on my payroll," Kellie said, "So you will do what I tell you."

"I'll be back shortly," Milo said, leaving.

Kellie waited several minutes before opening the door and scanning the hallway. The coast was clear. She left and headed for the stairwell to sneak out the back.

Kellie got to the bottom of the stairs and opened the door to get outside. Sam was waiting for her.

"What are you up to?" Sam asked, "I came back from dropping Danny off with my mom to find Milo, your guard, on an errand for you and you sneaking out down the stairs."

"Where's your guard?" Kellie said.

"I told him I forgot something in the car," Sam said, "Max is upstairs."

"Just forget you saw me," Kellie said.

"You realize what you are asking for when Jason finds out," Sam said.

"Do I look like I care?" Kellie said, "Now I have things to do."

"What is so important you would ditch your guards?" Sam asked, "If you don't tell me, I'll make noise and you'll get caught."

"A little reconnaissance," Kellie said, "Sonny apparently owns a safe house no one knows anything about. I'm just going to scope the place out. I didn't want extra people, including guards, making a racket and blowing my cover."

"What if Bernie and his people are using it?" Sam said, "What then?"

"I'm not talking about a confrontation," Kellie said, "I'll scope the place out and come back later with back up."

"You're not going by yourself," Sam said, "I'll go with you."

"And Jason will kill me for letting you get involved," Kellie said.

"It's either me or the guards," Sam said.

"Fine," Kellie said, "You have a gun I hope."

"Yes," Sam said.

"Let's go," Kellie said.

Half an hour later

Milo returned to the penthouse. Max was frantic, "Sam went to get something from the car and she hasn't come back. You haven't seen her have you?"

Milo shook his head, "Have you talked to Kellie?"

"She's not home," Max said.

"What do you mean she's not home?" Milo said, "She was in middle of such an important phone call I had to run an errand for her."

"I went in and looked," Max said, "She's not there. I have men looking for Sam"

"I guess we better call Jason and Alcazar," Milo said, pulling his cell phone out of his pocket.

"What's going on?" Jason asked, approaching them.

Max and Milo hesitated.

"Well, what is it?" Jason asked.

"Sam and Kellie are missing," Max said, "Kellie pulled one over on Milo and as for Sam we're not sure."

"Sam probably caught Kellie and is with her," Jason said, "Let's start looking for them."
