"Sonny is finally getting to come home with me today."
"Seriously? That is so exciting!" exclaimed Abby. "When will he be home?"
"He has to finish his appointment with my grandma and then I think they will be releasing him."
"I am so excited, Will! What do you have planned?"
"Actually, that is why I am here. I need your help with something."
"Oh, sounds exciting! What, dear cousin, do you need?"
Will whispers his plan for Sonny in her ear. "Now you know what you need to do, right?"
"Of course. I will let you know when everything is ready, so you can bring Sonny home to his surprise. He is going to love it, I am sure!"
"Sonny is coming home today and I need your help."
"That's awesome, man!" Chad exclaims. "What do you need from me?"
"I have Abby working on a surprise for him, which you could help with. But I have a different favor to ask."
"Ok. What is it?"
"I need you to talk with your brother and figure out some way we can make things as safe as possible for Sonny when I bring him home."
"Like what?"
"Is there any way we can enlist the DiMera security team to keep an eye on him 24/7?"
"Uh, Will. I don't know if I can do that. Why don't you talk with Victor about this?"
"I don't want Sonny's family to get involved and worry any more than they already are. Plus, I'm sure they would want us to stay at the mansion. And I know that is not what Sonny wants."
"Oh. I understand. I will talk with EJ."
"Thanks, Chad. I would owe you big time! I know Sonny doesn't really feel safe leaving the hospital. I just don't know what else I can do?"
"You get to go home today?"
"Yeah," Sonny whispers.
"Why don't you tell me how you are feeling about this?"
"I'm scared. Not only for me, but for Will."
"What scares you the most?"
"That they want to finish what they started. Or worse, go after Will."
"Do you believe Will is a target?" Marlena asks, concerned.
"Uh….yeah," Sonny whispers. "I uh. I remembered something last night."
"What is that, Sonny?"
"Will. They wanted Will."
"What do you remember exactly?"
"I could hear them talking when they first broke in. Before I was attacked. There was one guy talking and I remember thinking that his voice sounded so familiar, but I just couldn't place it."
"Do you know who that voice is?"
"I still can't figure it out," Sonny says, looking down. "I'm sorry."
"Sonny, there is nothing to be sorry for. Please continue," Marlena encourages as she places her hand gently on his knee.
"The guy said that coming after me was the best way to get to Will. That they wanted to hurt me to warn Will. And that if we didn't disappear, he would make sure that we did."
"Oh," Marlena whispers.
"And Will doesn't get it," Sonny says, tearfully. "He thinks I am just being overprotective. But I'm so scared. Nothing can happen to him, Dr. Evans."
"Sonny, have you told anyone else about this?"
"No," Sonny says and his eyes grow wide. "No one can know."
"What do you mean?"
"One of the last things I remember him saying before I was hit was that if I told anyone anything, things would only get worse. I shouldn't even be talking to you about this," Sonny explains with fear in his eyes.
"Sonny," Marlena sighs.
"Will is in danger. I just know it. I can feel it."
Sonny starts to become increasingly agitated. His breath is hitching and his eyes are darting around the room. "I need to talk to Will. Please, take me back to my room."
"Sonny, please try to stay calm."
"You don't understand. I have a really bad feeling right now. I need to see Will. Now." Sonny's voice is beginning to rise and he starts pacing.
"I will call him. Will that make you feel better?"
Sonny sighs and says, strained, "I guess."
Marlena picks up her phone to call Will.
"Grandma?"
"Hi, sweetie."
"Is everything ok? How is Sonny?"
"That is why I am calling."
"Is everything ok? Please tell me Sonny is ok!" Will exclaims.
"Will, listen to me. I am sitting with Sonny and he just wanted to make sure you are ok." Marlena says, soothingly.
"Oh," Will sighs with relief. "I am actually almost back at the hospital. Does Sonny need to talk with me?"
Marlena hands over the phone to Sonny. "Hey, babe."
"Sonny, is everything ok?"
"I just needed to hear your voice," Sonny whispers.
"What's wrong, baby?"
"It's nothing. I was just….it doesn't matter."
"No, tell me."
"I was just worried. That is all."
"I should be worrying about you, babe. Not the other way around," Will teases. "I will be back at the hospital in a couple of minutes. Will you be ok until then?"
"Yeah," Sonny whispers. "I will be fine. Just be careful, ok?"
"Can I help you?" Sonny hears Will say. "What are you doing? What the…."
"WILL?" Sonny yells. "Will, please answer me!"
There is only silence on the other end of the phone. Sonny vehemently calls Will's number over and over, only for it to go to his voicemail every time. Marlena watches Sonny in fear.
"I told you something was wrong. I told you I had a bad feeling about this. We have to find Will. I know something has happened to him," Sonny cries out.
