"What do you have for me?" Lois asked walking into Brenda's office as she sat typing away on her computer.

"I have two backstage passes, two front row tickets, two first class seats on the flight, and one very large request," Brenda said sitting back in her chair.

"What's that?" Lois asked.

"While we're in Port Charles keep a very short and tight leash on Sonny. The last thing I need and want on this very quick trip is for him to start a fight."

"How do you suppose I can do that?"

"With your wit and charm? And do not give him any tickets. If he really wants to go he can spend his precious money for it."

"When are you leaving?" Lois asked.

"Fifteen minutes. Robin is going to pick me up at the airport. Then I have the pleasure of entering Carly's fine hotel to arrange all the rooms. The bus arrives tomorrow morning."

"And I'll be in bright and early."

"Thank you so much," Brenda said.

"This is your baby, not mine. Go make me proud," Lois said with a smile before taking the package from Brenda and walking out.

Brenda glanced at her computer screen one more time before shutting it down. She grabbed her messenger bag, double checked that she had everything she needed, confirmations, telephone numbers, tickets, etc, turned off her light and left. She had four long days ahead of her. Nothing she was actually looking forward to this time.

The whole plane right her thoughts drifted away from the concert and onto the straight forward facts she was going to have to face when she arrived. Her assistant sat silent pretty much the whole flight watching some movie on her laptop, which gave Brenda the extra time to double check her lists of everything she had to do. The last thing and most dreaded, visit Edward and Monica and give them the good news, right after telling Jason he was going to be a daddy.

"Earth to Brenda," Keri said bringing Brenda out of her thoughts.

"Sorry. What?" Brenda asked closing her appointment book.

"We're about to land. Where were you just then?"

"Trying to figure out why I decided to have a concert in Port Charles." Brenda glanced out the window and stretched her legs out. She absolutely loved first class.

They were one of the first ones off the plane when it landed. Brenda shouldered her messenger bag and reached inside for her phone and sun glasses.

"Going incognito today?" Keri asked.

"As much as I can for the next four days. Port Charles is not Disneyland." Brenda turned on her phone as they walked. Of course it was leaked by L&B themselves that a concert would be held this week in Port Charles with the infamous Miguel Morez who was shooting to the charts with every single release. The photographers were hard to miss as they exited the terminal towards baggage claim.

"Ms. Barrett?" a man in black asked walking up.

"Are you Tony?" she asked. He nodded. "Perfect."

"Ready?" he asked as the sliding glass doors slowly opened.

"As we'll ever be." Another man joined them as they walked into the glare and flashes of cameras. Keri couldn't stop smiled. Brenda was used to it and Keri would be sick of it as soon as she realized how intrusive it became.

"This is great," Keri said. "I can't believe you don't enjoy this."

"You wait until the rumors start," Brenda commented as they were led to a secure holding area.

"They are pulling your bags before they hit baggage claim," Tony told them as they sat down. Brenda nodded as she pulled out her phone to dial.

"Hey, it's me." Brenda laughed slightly. "Okay, well, we have some security. We'll be out in a minute." Brenda hung up. "Ride's here."
