Chapter 5

Robin spent the next week looking up every piece of information on Franco. Jerry was right about him. Franco was on the most hated list of everyone in town and rightfully so. Even though he did nothing to her personally, she would gladly kill him for all the trouble he caused. They would probably give her a medal.

She also followed him quietly picking up on the spots he would go to clear his head. She also spent time investigating Sonny. His rap sheet was long but he proved to be invincible when it came to going to jail. She also learned this Sonny walked around with only two bodyguards at the most. They would be easy to take out when the time came.

Jerry came inside the house after doing some sightseeing. Nothing changed in this town. He made it his duty to add danger and excitement. This was going to be fun. "Robin," he called out.

"Hi," she said. He sat next to her and she had papers stacked next to her laptop.

"Intel," he stated.

"This Franco is a piece of work. I don't blame anyone for wanting him dead. At least I get to do it."

He kissed the side of her head. "I love it when you talk about killing people."

She laughed. "Don't you have something to do?"

"Come Robin, don't tell me I'm distracting you," he joked.

"Yes. Now go before I hurt you," she joked back.

He got up and went to his room. He snuck back out eventually and watched her from around the corner. The computer he gave her was his way of keeping her busy. He would give her tasks to do and she happily did them. Thankfully, he was able to convince her not to look into his background so much. It was all lies anyway according to him and she accepted it without hesitation.

Robin put up the papers in her bag and shut the computer. "I'm going out," she yelled.

He waited a few before meeting her. "Where?"

"To set up," she replied. "What else would I be going?"

"You have a point," he said. "Please be back at a decent hour," he said.

She smirked. "I won't get lost." She grabbed her gun and headed out.

Jerry grabbed his set of keys and went to see his favorite niece. He drove over to Carly's and knocked on the door. Josslyn answered the door.

"Uncle Jerry!" she said surprised. He put a finger to his lips and gave her a present. Something Jax would give her.

"This is for you but tell mommy you got it from daddy. Tell her the mailman left it on the doorstep. Ok?"

She innocently shook her head yes. "That's my girl." He walked off unnoticed.

Josslyn's nanny came around the corner and saw something in her hand. "What's that in your hand Joss?"

"The mailman dropped it off," she said. Josslyn went back to her room and opened her present.

Robin meanwhile found a hidden spot on the docks. She knew Franco came here repeatedly like clockwork. She set up her gun and looked out the scope. She spotted Franco coming onto the dock. Perfect. She looked at her watch. She smiled at his promptness.

She saw a blonde woman come on the dock as well. Robin continued to look through her scope. These two didn't appear to get along. Robin smirked. No way would this Franco be missed. She put her gun away and left the docks.

The next day…

Carly found Josslyn in the living room playing with her bracelet. She didn't remember Jax giving it to her when he came the last time. "Joss, where did you get the bracelet?"

"Daddy gave it to me in the mail," she said happily. Carly smiled. She didn't object to her story because Jax was always sending her presents.

"How would you like to spend the day with mommy?"

Josslyn hurried to her room which meant she was more than eager to go with her mom. She called Morgan and Michael to see if they would join them at the Metro Court.

When they arrived, Carly called Jax but it went to voicemail. She sighed. "Jax, it's Carly. Joss loves the bracelet you gave her. Thank you for getting for it. I still think you spoil her too much. Alright, well, I'll talk to you later."

Meanwhile, Jax got to his phone right after it buzzed alerting him to a voicemail. He heard it and he knew he didn't send his daughter a bracelet. Carly wouldn't have a reason to make a claim like that unless Joss told her. Jax sat on the couch of his home in Rome and thought about what Luke said. Was he right? Could his brother be in Port Charles…and with Robin by his side? But that had to be farfetched. Robin wouldn't go anywhere with his brother.

He checked his bank records just in case. No purchases from his account had been made. He called his mother and asked if she sent Joss a present. She asked what was wrong but he skirted around the question gracefully. There was no need in getting her upset over nothing.

A bad feeling settled in the pit of his stomach. He bought an airplane ticket to Port Charles and went to pack his bags.

Later that night, Robin went to the docks where she set up. She waited patiently. Before long, Franco stood on the docks minding his business. Robin positioned the gun and fired. He caught a bullet to his chest.

Robin quickly secured the shells and left no trace other than the evidence leading back to Sonny. Carly and Joss happened on the pier when Josslyn screamed. Carly looked up and saw Franco bleeding. She shielded her daughter from the sight and called the paramedics. They arrived within minutes and so did the police.

Anna questioned Carly and gently questioned Josslyn. She dismissed them and went to look at the crime scene. The blood splatter revealed that the shot came at an easy distance. It also looked to be a professional hit.

Anna had really only one suspect in mind: Sonny.

Carly made sure Josslyn was safe before going over to Sonny's. She barged in. "Sonny!"

He came down rolling his eyes. "Don't you ever knock?"

She glared at him. "How could you?"

He sighed. "What are you talking about Carly?"

"Franco. You shot him," she accused. She saw the stunned reaction on his face.

"I had nothing to do with it," he said. She knew he wasn't lying.

"Who did?" asked Carly.

"I don't know but I intend to find out."
