Sonny remembers getting ready to leave. He placed his phone on the counter before going back to the office to grab his things. While in the office, he hears banging and yelling. Sonny's heart begins to race. He decides to stay in the office for a few minutes, hoping things settle down outside the store. Then there is glass breaking and the voices are getting louder. He recognizes one of the voices, but can't recall anymore who's voice that was. He hears someone's voice behind him.

"Hey fag," the voice seethes.

Sonny begins to turn around, but he feels something pressed against his back. He is thinking the guy has a gun. Sonny's breath becomes ragged from fear. All he can think about is Will. The object is pressed deeper into his spine.

"What do you want?" Sonny asks, shakily.

"I told you earlier, for you to leave Salem. And take that pretty boy boyfriend with you. I would hate for something to happen to him, wouldn't you?"

"Do whatever you want to me, but leave Will alone!" Sonny exclaims, angrily.

The guy begins laughing, manically. "So that's all I need to do? Find that boyfriend of yours and do as I please?"

"Leave him alone! If it's me you want, you have me. Just stay away from him."

Sonny feels pain and then everything goes dark. He can hear the whispers from the guy. The sound of destruction in the coffee shop. He thinks he hears his phone ringing. It must be Will. Sonny is fighting to wake up. But he can't. He can't move.

He hears them talking about Will. Oh, God. Don't hurt him please he begs. But nothing comes out. There's that voice again. He's telling them they should go, their job is done. Who are you? He screams in his head. Then silence.

He hears Will's voice. He can't be here. They will hurt him. He needs to wake up and warn him to leave, but he can't. Will is crying out his name through sobs. Sonny can't stand it. This hurts more than any physical pain ever could. He grabs ever ounce of energy and strength to let Will know he is ok. He squeezes his hand. Will's voice is sounding further away now until there is nothing.


Sonny looks over at Will, who has tears streaming down his face.

"Oh, baby," Will whispers.

Sonny does his best to give Will a smile. Then looks back at Roman. "Can we be done for the day? I'm really tired and that's all I really remember."

Roman nods his head. "Yeah. That's fine. But if you remember anything else or need to tell me anything you left out, don't hesitate."

"I will."

"William, you take care of Sonny, ok?"

"I will Grandpa. Thank you for everything!" Will chokes out. He stands up to give Roman a hug, who then leaves the room.

"Come on. Let's get you back in bed." Will directs Sonny.

"Don't you want to talk about it?"

"Not right now. We have plenty of time to talk. I want you to get back in bed and get some sleep. You haven't been sleeping well. And I need you to get your energy up."

"Oh, and why is that?" Sonny teases.

"Because when you get released, I plan on showing you just how much I have missed you. And just how incredible I think you are. And how much I love you."

"How did I get so lucky?" Sonny asks as he lays down in the bed. He pats the space next to him, for Will to lay with him.

"I'm the lucky one, Kiriakis." Will smiles at his boyfriend, who lays his head on Will's chest once he climbs in the bed. "I'm the lucky one."

Will rubs Sonny's back until he hears his breath even out, indicating he has fallen asleep. Then Will let's his emotions overtake him. He watches his boyfriend through tear filled eyes. I can't live through this again. I can't lose you. I will always protect you, no matter the cost. I love you too much to let someone hurt you.

Will pulls his phone out of his pocket and makes a phone call.
