Kellie's Penthouse
Kellie was halfway asleep on the couch when the guard shook her awake.
"Monica Quartermaine is here to see you," the guard said, "She says its important."
"Send her in," Kellie said, groggily. The guard left and Monica walked in.
"I'm sorry to come this late," Monica said, "But I have some information for you. Jason thinks that maybe your father and Tyler are being held on a yacht. When Luis first came to town, he came on a yacht and used it to hold Brenda Barrett prisoner."
"Okay," Kellie said, "Why are you telling me this? Why didn't Jason just call me or send Sam."
"He didn't want you to know," Monica said, "He wanted to keep you from going off by yourself. He made Sam promise not to tell you. I overheard and Sam asked me to tell you since I didn't make any promises."
"A phone call would have sufficed," Kellie said, "I don't understand why you would come to see me personally."
"I came to see you because I have some things to say to you that should be said in person," Monica said.
"Can I get my people looking into Jason's theory and then we can talk?" Kellie said.
"Of course," Monica said. Kellie went to talk to the guard in the hallway and came back in.
"Thanks," Kellie said, "Now what is it you have to say to me?"
"I overheard your fight with Jason earlier," Monica said, "I don't think you realize exactly what kind of impact your death would have on him. I didn't tell you about the yacht so you could run off and instigate one of your spectacular displays of danger and death associated with your name, killing yourself in the process."
"I wasn't planning to get myself killed," Kellie said.
"Look just promise me you won't do anything crazy," Monica said, "You may not realize this, but Jason blames himself for Emily's death. Now you've managed to fill some, well actually a lot, of the hole that her death left inside him. But if you get yourself killed, I don't know how Jason will take it or survive for that matter. He'll blame himself for not protecting you, the same way you blame yourself every time one of your siblings gets used by one of your enemies or Tyler for that matter. I would hope that you have enough sense not to saddle someone with that kind of guilt because I know you know what it's like."
"I never thought of it like that," Kellie said, "I get so used to all the men in my life getting all protective and overbearing that I just assumed Jason was doing the same thing."
"More often than not, Jason tends to be right about these things," Monica said, "I don't think he should be waiting to get men on finding Luis's yacht until morning. But he's right about you flying solo on this one. You have no idea the things Luis did when he was here the first time. Granted your stalker was a piece of work, but Luis is something else. Did you know he left a very much in premature labor Alexis Davis in the snow alone? Just walked right on by."
"No, I didn't," Kellie said.
"Just promise me you'll wait for Jason or Lorenzo to help you," Monica said, "Since you insist on seeing this through. If not for your sake, then for Jason's."
"I promise," Kellie said.
"Thank you," Monica said as she headed toward the door, "So I'll probably see you hanging around the hospital tomorrow."
"Yeah," Kellie said, "Right after I read Durant the riot act if Lorenzo and friends are still in the slammer."
"You just take care of yourself," Monica said, leaving.
