Several Days Later
"I just have to sign some papers before you leave the hospital," Sonny said to Kellie, "And then we can go."
"Sure," Kellie said, "Go sign the papers, so I can get out of here."
"If you really want to stay here a few more days," Sonny said, "I can arrange it."
"Don't you dare," Kellie said, "If you do that I'll hand your business over to Uncle Lorenzo and Jason."
"Let me tell you a thing or too about your Uncle Lorenzo," Sonny said.
"I don't want to hear it," Kellie said, "Besides you two made a truce. Now get me out of here."
"Yes, Goddess," Sonny said, leaving.
"I may have my moments," Kellie yelled, "But I'll never be as bad as you."
When Sonny returned to the room, he found an empty bed. Kellie was nowhere in sight.
"Not again," Sonny muttered. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed.
"She bolted, Jason. Can you and Alcazar spare some men to help with the search?" Sonny asked and then paused as he waited for the reply, "Good. I'll meet you at the penthouse."
Kellie's Penthouse
"How hard can it be?" Sonny yelled, "She's on crutches."
"Relax, Sonny," Jason said, "She won't get far."
"Unless she got help," Lorenzo said.
"Who would she possibly get help from," Sonny asked, "I put a tail on Luke just in case she tried something."
"Robert Scorpio," Lorenzo grimaced, "She did work for the man and his organization. Although her name's pretty much mud as far as his superiors are concerned."
The door to the Penthouse swung open. Sage stormed through, attempting to slam it in Milo's face. He stopped the door and came inside. Neither one noticed Sonny, Lorenzo, or Jason.
"I know you are supposed to guard me," Sage yelled, "But your job description does not include getting between me and a hot guy."
"If you had bothered to ask why I stopped you," Milo said, "You'd know you were flirting with Escobar's nephew."
"I just wanted to flirt with him," Sage said, shoving Milo.
"His temper runs on the hot side," Sonny said, "Stay away from him." Sage and Milo turned to face their audience stunned.
"Mr. Corinthos," Milo stammered.
"Are you working for Alcazar?" Sonny asked, "Or my daughter?"
"Kellie," Milo said, nervously, "She put me on Sage."
"Who are you to tell me who I can and can't associate with?" Sage asked.
"He's right," Lorenzo said, "Stay away from the Escobars, especially the nephew."
Before Sage could protest, Jason asked, "You haven't heard from Kellie by chance?" She pulled a disappearing act out of the hospital."
"On crutches?" Sage asked, shaking her head, "I haven't heard from her. Did you check Mike's grave?"
All three men had looks on their faces as if they were berating themselves for completely overlooking that possibility.
"I'll go," Sonny said, leaving, "You and Milo can continue your lover's quarrel if you'd like."
"We are not," Sage started to say, but Sonny was already out the door before he heard the rest.
