Chapter 7

Jax headed over to Sonny's house. If he was right then his brother needed to be driven out of town. However, if what Luke said was true, Robin was in danger. He knew Sonny loved Robin just as much as he did.

He pulled up and headed to the front door. He ran into Max who stood there stunned. "Mr. Jax, what are you doing here?"

"I need to see Sonny," Jax answered.

Max nodded and let him in. "Boss, you have a visitor." Sonny didn't want to be bothered.

"Who is it?"

"Me," Jax said.

Sonny rolled his eyes. The last thing he wanted was for Jax to be in his house. However, he let him stay. He waved Max on and looked at Jax. "Can I get you a drink?"

"No. We need to talk about Franco," he said.

"You talked to Carly," he deadpanned.

"She told me all about him. She also said you weren't involved."

"I wasn't," Sonny said. "Jax, why are you here?"

"I believe my brother may be in town," Jax explained.

Sonny narrowed his eyes. "I thought he died in an explosion."

"We're hard to kill apparently," Jax said.

"Don't I know it?" Sonny said.

Jax ignored his little jibe. "What I have to tell you is hard. You need to sit down."

Sonny did and Jax sat across from him. "There's a chance, a small chance that, he might have Robin."

"That's crazy Jax. Why would you even bring her up?" he asked.

"I know it sounds crazy. However, Luke said he saw her."

Sonny rolled in his eyes in disbelief. "Robin is dead. She's not coming back. This isn't funny. Why are you dragging her name into this? I know you were her friend too. You can't really believe that."

Jax rubbed the back of his neck. He could use that drink right about now. "Luke said she shot him."

Sonny poured another drink and one for Jax. He handed it to him. "Now I know that she isn't alive. Why would Robin shoot Luke? In fact, what would possess Robin to go with Jerry? That scenario isn't possible. Patrick saw her…saw her die in the lab trying to save Jason."

"All I'm saying is that Franco gets shot around the same time Jerry might be in town," Jax said.

"Might being the operative word. Jax, I don't believe it. Robin was as sweet as they come. She's not a killer. She was a doctor who gave her life for her patients." He was on the verge of tears talking about her.

"Sonny…"

"No!" he yelled. He got up and went to the drawer taking out a picture of her. It was a picture of her and Stone. He handed the photo to Jax. "The girl in that picture couldn't take a life. Nor would she attempt to take one."

Jax put the photo down. "I'm probably going to regret asking this but who else do you have in mind?"

"A rival family. That's all you need to know. Jax, I know you miss Robin. I miss her every day but she isn't here in Port Charles. She isn't coming back to her husband and daughter. If she were back, they'd be the first ones she'd run to," Sonny stated.

Jax sighed. He knew he wasn't going to be able to convince him of Jerry's possible return. "I'll go now." He walked to the door and turned around. "If he is here, prepare for chaos."

Sonny picked up the photo. He decided to go to her grave. He got there and placed flowers in front of it.

"Hey Robin. It's Sonny. I missed you. I know I wasn't always the best friend and I shut you out. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you. I'm sorry I failed you and ruined things. I didn't want to lose your friendship. I remember this young girl who faced something unimaginable and got through it with grace. I admired your strength. I admired you Robin. If you're listening to me, know that I love you. You will always be my little sister." He placed a hand on top of her grave and walked away.

Meanwhile, Anna went to her office and sat down. She guessed Duke was right. That Ava was a part of the Jerome family. Anger and sadness boiled within her. She could have had her child but it wasn't meant to be.

She needed to figure out who shot Franco and succeeded this time. Thankfully for her, the man wasn't dead. There was a knock on the door. "Come in."

To her surprise, Ava Jerome walked in. "Ms. Jerome," she said standing up from her chair. "What can I do for you?"

"You can tell me who shot Franco," Ava said. She wondered who was able to get close enough to nearly kill him. She wanted to secretly thank the person but she still needed him.

"Have a seat," Anna said. Ava sat in the chair in front of Anna's desk. "Why don't I start off with you? Where were you last night?"

Ava narrowed her eyes. "Why would I shoot Franco?"

"For millions of reasons," Anna said. "I suspect you were involved in the first shooting and either you or someone you know tried to correct a wrong."

"You give me too much credit. I'm an art dealer. I don't know how to handle a gun," Ava replied.

Anna smirked. "I doubt that very much. I have nothing to offer you. If you please excuse me, I still have to investigate this shooting."

Ava got up and left. This had to be Julian's doing. She sighed because she didn't need this right now. Franco was still useful to her at this point.

Anna looked at the file on her desk. The evidence pointed directly to Sonny. What if he was being framed? There was nobody else in town besides the Jerome family. She had a feeling a mob war could break out soon if this wasn't nipped in the bud.

Ava went to the hospital and saw Franco reading a magazine. "Someone's catching up on their reading. Apparently, you aren't in much pain."

Franco looked at her. "It's nice of you to check on me. Where have you been?"

"To the police station to find out what idiot didn't succeed in killing you," Ava said.

He chuckled. "I thought you loved me Ava."

She rolled her eyes. "In your dreams," she said.

"More like nightmares. I've already told the police who shot me. It was Sonny."

She walked up to his bed. "Do you know for sure?"

"No but who misses a chance to mess with the great Sonny Corinthos."
