General Hospital

Monica walked into Jason's room.

"When can I get out of here?" Jason asked.

"We've got one more round of tests to run," Monica said, "Once we get the results from those and nothing shows up, you can go home. Probably after lunch."

"That's not soon enough," Jason said.

"It's the best I can do," Monica said.

"As far I know the police aren't letting Lorenzo out until this afternoon," Jason said, "That's plenty of time for Kellie to get herself in trouble."

"You haven't told her about the yacht," Monica said, "She'd have no reason to come up with that one on her own. So what are you worried about?"

"If Luis goes after her," Jason said, "Of course, she'd go after him first."

"She won't," Monica said.

"You know this how," Jason said, "Kellie tends to act as soon as possible without waiting for help."

"She gave me her word," Monica said.

"You saw Kellie," Jason said, "Why?"

"I overheard you make Sam promise not tell Kellie about the yacht," Monica said.

"You told her, didn't you," Jason groaned.

"Yes," Monica said, "She promised she wouldn't engage in any of her infamous stunts until you or Lorenzo could help her."

"But if she thinks she has a good enough reason," Jason said.

"Kellie's also a woman of her word, Jason," Monica said, "Besides, she's probably still trying to find that yacht as we speak. Research results don't appear overnight."

"How did you get Kellie to agree to wait?" Jason asked.

"You," Monica said.

"Me?" Jason asked, "When she left last night she was furious with me."

"You don't think I've noticed how Kellie's become family to you and you to her," Monica said, "You've become a brother to her and she looks up to you even if she doesn't always agree with you. She cares about you and I got her to see that if the worst happened, she'd hurt you emotionally by leaving you with a lot of guilt for not being in a position to protect her."

"That still doesn't mean she won't find a way to get into trouble," Jason said.

"At least you know she won't willingly put herself into harms way," Monica said, "As for what can't be controlled you're going to have to trust that Kellie can handle herself."

"I don't like this," Jason said.

"Careful," Monica said, "You're starting to sound like Sonny."

Jason was silent.

"I have to make a phone call," he said, "I think I know how to fix this."

"I'll stop by later," Monica said as Jason picked up the phone and began dialing.
