"Is there anyone you can think of that would want to hurt Sonny?" Roman asks Justin and Adrienne.

They look at each other and say in unison, "No!"

"Did Sonny ever mention anything about someone harassing him?"

"No."

"Do you know anyone that has a problem with his, or Will's, sexual orientation?"

"Sonny had a problem with T," Justin answers. "But that was awhile ago. Sonny said that he actually helped him and Will get together. But that's the only person I know of."

"Ok," Roman says. "Thanks for answering those questions. If you can think of anything at all that might help with the investigation let me know."

Justin and Adrienne nod and Roman excuses himself.

"Who would want to do this to our baby boy?" Adrienne asks Justin as Roman walks away.

"When was the last time you saw Sonny?" Roman asks.

"He came to relieve me around 3pm yesterday," answered Chad.

"Was there anyone suspicious around at that time?"

"Not that I'm aware of."

"Did Sonny say anything to you about being harassed?"

"Uh…Not that I can recall."

"Has anyone come into the coffeehouse demonstrating aggressive behavior towards Sonny? Or verbalized a disdain for his sexual orientation?"

"Outside of Nick and Gabi? Not that I can think of. What does Sonny being gay have to do with any of this?"

"Have you been to the coffeehouse since the incident?" Roman asked.

"I tried, but they wouldn't let me come in. I was told it was a crime scene. Why? What's going on?"

Roman sighed. "The coffeehouse was vandalized with gay slurs and hate comment."

"WHAT?" Chad shouted. "You are kidding me, right?"

Chad was furious and started pacing. He started talking to himself. "Who the hell would do something like this? I can't believe it. When I find out who is responsible, there is going to be hell to pay."

"Chad," Roman yells, grabbing his arm. "Calm down. So, you have no clue who could've done this?"

"No," Chad says, staring at Roman with fire in his eyes. "But when I find out…."

"Chad," Roman says with authority. "You need to stay out of this. Let us handle it. We will track down who did this."

"Like hell I will!" Chad yells and walked away.

Roman spoke to Sonny and Will's friends. Getting no more answers than before. Roman was hoping for something to open the case up and provide some clues about who was behind this.

"When did you last see Sonny?" Roman asked.

"Well," Abby started. "I dropped by the coffeehouse yesterday around 7 to see my cousin. But he was yelling at some guy. I think he was trying to kick him out. I'd never seen him that angry before. I figured it was best to just leave."

"You saw him arguing with a customer?" Roman asked.

"I guess it was a customer. I'm not really sure. Sonny just seemed really angry."

"What was Sonny and this guy arguing about?"

"Well, I didn't hang around long. But Sonny was saying something about not speaking about him like that. And if he had a problem he could leave and never come back. That they didn't want to serve ignorant people like him anyways."

"So, this guy had a problem with Sonny being gay?" Roman asked.

"I guess so. But I can't be sure. Like I said, I didn't stick around to hear the rest of the conversation."

"And you have no clue who this guy was? What about what he looked like?" Roman asked.

"Well, he looked familiar. But I couldn't place where I've seen him before. Maybe he goes to school with us."

"Do you think you could describe what he looked like?"

"I didn't get a great look at him, but I can tell you what I did see."

"Do you think you could identify him if you saw him?"

"Yeah. I think so. Like I said, he looked familiar."

"Would you mind giving a description to the sketch artist of what you do remember?"

"Of course!" Abby exclaimed. "Anything to help."

"Thanks for your help, Abigail. Go to the station as soon as you can."

"I will."

Roman was finally able to track down Lauren and find out what she knew about the incident last night. She verified the argument that Abby had mentioned. Lauren had seen the whole thing.

"Yeah. There was some guy that came in giving Sonny a hard time. But he said he was used to it. So I didn't think much of it."

"What do you mean 'used to it'?"

"Well, I asked him the same thing. He said there are a lot of people around who don't like him for being so openly gay. So he was used to the threats and comments. He said people like that were just mostly talk."

"Are you aware of any other threats and comments made towards Sonny?"

"Well, this wasn't the first incident I have witnessed hateful words expressed towards Sonny and his lifestyle. But never threats."

"And did this guy threaten Sonny?"

"I didn't think it was a threat."

"Well, what did he say exactly?"

"He told Sonny the way he was living his life was all wrong. Kissing other 'faggots' like him. And that one day he would live to regret it. I just assumed it was more of a general statement than a threat."

"Have you seen the guy before?" Roman asked.

"A couple of times. He's been in there before. I don't remember him ever giving Sonny a hard time before, though."

"How did Sonny respond to the comments made?"

"He was clearly annoyed by him. Then said if he had a problem, he should just leave. But the guy continued to taunt him. I guess the guy had seen Sonny with Will earlier in the day. And he went off on some homophobic rage. Sonny didn't care that much when it was directed at him. But as soon as the guy went after Will…"

"That's when the argument ensued?"

"You could say that. Sonny was furious. He told him not to speak about Will like that. And told him again to leave."

"Did the guy leave?"

"Yeah. He left, smiling. It was weird."

"What did Sonny do after he left?"

"He went back to his office. He said he needed to cooldown. I also overheard him on the phone with Will, just checking up on him. Sonny worries about Will a lot."

"How did the rest of the night go?"

"Sonny came out of his office probably half hour later. He seemed fine. Things kind of slowed down after that, so he told me to go home early. Said there was no point both of us being there with nothing to do. He would be fine by himself. I wasn't sure if I should leave. I didn't want that guy to come back. But Sonny said everything was fine and I believed him. So, I went home. Chad woke me up around 1:30 asking about Sonny."

"And you said everything was fine when you left?"

"Yeah. Because it was. Everything had calmed down at that point. And I didn't see anyone around. The place was empty."

"Thanks, Lauren." Roman said. "Would you mind going down to the station and giving a description of the guy to our sketch artist?"

"Absolutely. I just want Sonny to be ok. Do you think this guy did it?"

"I can't answer that at this time. But thank you for your cooperation."

The pieces were starting to come together. Roman had Rafe reviewing the security video. Hopefully soon he would have another piece of the puzzle.
