Never Too Late

Kate approaches greystone from the back garden "Sonny! You in there?" Walking in the door she stops short when she views Sonny slumped in his chair holding a picture frame with a defeated look on his face. "Hey Sonny, didn't you hear me calling you?" she questions. "Sorry, no what did you need?" sonny replies with a sigh placing the portrait back on his desk.

"Maybe I should be asking you that; what's wrong?" she questions coming closer.
"She knows!" he states.
Confused Kate asks "Who knows? And what do the know?" Sonny doesn't respond. "Sonny look at me your scaring me!" Sonny looks up and views her like he is coming out of the fog which was his mind. "Sorry again Kate, I was speaking out loud"
"I get that" roll of eyes "But who has caused you this much distress and what do they know." Sonny gets up and walks around the desk and sits on the corner looking directly at Kate. "I guess there's no harm now because Hurricane Carly is about to take over." He sighs "Carly found out Jason is the father of Elizabeth's baby and he kept it from her"
"Ooh" she says as she walks back to wards the chair to sit. "So, let me get this straight. Carly is about to go berserk because Jason her best friend; not husband kept the fact that he fathered a child with Ms. Spencer." A little confused asks "Is she angry because Jason kept a secret or because it hurts her cousin lucky?"

"Not really either; she's angry because Jason kept it from her. And well, because it's Liz. There's allot more story to Carly's relationship with Jason."

"I think I've been around this town long enough to get the cliff notes on the Jason Carly drama." Kate States. "So you understand why Carly would be flipping out." "Sure, just one question though. Being around I know even though Jason is a hired killer he is always knows right from wrong so, how did this happen." she questions.

Sonny goes ahead and divulges what details he knows of the affair.

Kate sits pondering a few minutes after Sonny finishes then starts to laugh. "What could possibly be so funny about all of this. It is ruining so many lives and about to crash into a few more."

"It kills me to ever be on Carly's side but how can a bunch of seemingly intelligent men be so stupid when it comes to little how would she say "Pixies"?" "What are you talking about Kate?" sonny says getting agitated. He never likes being called stupid when it comes to women.

"OK, why would anyone possibly believe it was just a random occurrence that someone climbs; what is it 18 flights of steps during a blackout to just talk to someone she says is just a friend. And there are never just guy friends you run to when you find out that your husband is cheating on you. Lovers or potential lovers yes, friends no unless of course they're gay. Which I kinda highly doubt Jason is." Kate starts.

He sits there pondering what she is saying.

"And you said she begged Jason not to tell because she wanted her marriage to work and keep Jake safe from Jason's lifestyle yet, sought him out at every given opportunity." she finishes.

Sonny stands up getting agitated the more he thinks things over.

"Frankly, after all she's done I would really wonder whether or not Jake is his or not. Did anyone see the paternity test results?"

"No I don't think anyone ever did. But why would someone lie about something that just the information getting out would ruin the family she has?" Sonny asks out loud.

"As a woman the fact that it is Jason is almost enough reason. No offense Sonny cause you are definitely more my type. But Jason isn't too hard on the eyes and he is fiercely loyal to his family. You can already see that with Carly."

Sonny stops short "That's it!! Carly!"

"Yeah, what about her? Jason is already overprotective of that mess of a woman."

"That's just it. Liz doesn't like Carly and what a way to stick it to her than to have Jason's kid or make it seem like it." "I should've thought of this sooner what with the name Jake that's definitely a slap in Carly's face."

"Come on Sonny, I don't like Carly but would never think to do something like this." she says.

"Yeah, but Carly hasn't blown a hole in your relationship at every turn by just being around. Carly always told Liz she could never handle Jason's lifestyle and he would never walk away from her and his family."

"I guess that makes some sense." Kate interjects "But what would the name Jake have to do with getting to Carly?" she asks.

"Well long story short the Jason & Carly saga started at Jake's over a game of pool and no-name sex." he says. "Never once would I believe it has any special meaning to Jason about Liz."

"So, how do we prove that Liz is lying?" Kate asks.

"The more important question should be how do we keep Carly from killing her when she finds out!"
