CHAPTER 28
Sabrina is working on the computer at the nurses desk when someone startles her....
Sabrina: Oh, Miguel...you scared me half to death...why aren't you still in jail? She suddenly realizes he is not at the PCPD where he belongs.
Miguel: I was released...
Sabrina: Clearly, but how? You almost killed me and my son! She whispers...
Miguel: I need to talk to you...
Sabrina: I'm working...
Miguel: I see that but I need a favor...
Sabrina: Why in the hell would I do anything for you...she says reading her patients chart.
Miguel: For old times sake...Brina,
Sabrina: DON'T CALL ME THAT, she shouts at him in a quiet tone.
Miguel: I've called you that for years...come on babe...
Sabrina: Do I have to call security?
Miguel: No, no, no...of course not...but please, meet me at Kelly's after your shift...half hour...
He leaves without her being able to say no...
Sabrina: What the hell does he want...she says to herself a little scared of what he wants from her all of a sudden.
Robin: Hey...what does who want? She asks sneaking up on her starting her own shift.
Sabrina: Robin...oh, nothing just someone I used to know...he's a bit of an annoyance, she laughs.
Robin: Oh yea? She chuckles...are you on shift now too?
Sabrina: Actually(looks at her watch) I'm finished...going to shower and head home...I have a stop to make but I plan on cuddling on the couch with the kids and Patrick and watching TV together.
Robin: How is everyone doing?
Sabrina: Fantastic...well, I better go...
Robin: Enjoy...
Sabrina takes her shower and decides to make the stop to Kelly's to see what Miguel wanted. She was leery of him but if they were in a public setting nothing should happen between them. She arrives at Kellys.
Miguel: You came! He says with a smile and that wink that always drove her crazy when they were together.
Sabrina: I can't stay long, what do you want?
Miguel: Well, aren't you abrupt.
Sabrina: I have to get home to my family...you know the one you almost made lose me and their son and brother....she says angrily.
Miguel: Alright Brina, alright...calm down.
Sabrina: I asked you not to call me that!
Miguel: Okay...okay...I'm in a little bit of a jam...I need to tell you something about me first.
Sabrina: Confused as to what he was getting at and hoped he would just make his point so she could leave. Miguel what is your point?
Miguel: That, right there...
Sabrina: What?
Miguel: My name...my name really isn't Miguel...
Sabrina: I'm sorry, what? Ever since I've known you, you've always been Miguel...what are you telling me?
Miguel: My real name is Carlos Rivera...I've been using an assumed name since High School because my family was involved in some kind of crime war.
Sabrina: You've got to be kidding me! And how come now you are all of a sudden this...Carlos guy...Do you have proof?
Carlos hands Sabrina his birth certificate as he was sure she would ask for proof.
Sabrina: I don't believe this...why are you here in Port Charles anyway?
Carlos: I had no idea when I came to town that you were going to be caught in the cross fire of why I was really here and when I saw you with that little girl and that (he shakes his head and rolls his eyes) that guy I lost it...I'm sorry Sabrina...really...I never ever wanted you to get hurt let alone your little boy...I would never intentionally hurt a child...you know how much I love children and when I saw you with two I was well, I guess I was hurt.
Sabrina: Mig...er...Carlos...that is weird, she shakes her head...I wasn't ready at the time you wanted to get married and have kids...I was still young and wanted to become a nurse. That's why I left.
Carlos: I know that...it's just...
Sabrina: It hurts...I know...and I'm sorry, but by the time I arrived in Port Charles I already had my career and when I met Patrick the timing was right. What is the point of this confession?
Carlos: Because my family the Riveras have strong ties to this city...
Sabrina: Why are you telling me this?
Carlos: I just wanted to inform you...
Sabrina: You mean mob related, she whispers?
Carlos shakes his head yes...
Sabrina: I think it's a wise decision to leave town then, don't you? If no one knows you know me, then we won't have any problems...right? She asks sternly.
Carlos: Not really...
Sabrina: What do you mean not really? Carlos, I have a family...a young family at that, and my husband is not very fond of the mob in this town. How am I supposed to tell him that my ex-boyfriend whom I just found out myself is knee high deep in the mob, she whispers.
Carlos: You're not...
Sabrina: I can't keep this from Patrick...she says shaking her head.
Carlos: You have no choice...they will find out and use you to get to me if anyone knows.
Sabrina: Carlos, this puts me in a very uncomfortable position.
Carlos: Please? At least for now until we see how much action is actually taken place against the Corinthos territory...he whispers.
Sabrina: Corinthos? As in Sonny Corinthos? Oh, this just keeps getting better and better. No, ah eh...I can't make any promises, sorry...my husband has history with Sonny...
Carlos: History? What kind of history?
Sabrina: None of your business...anyway, I can't make any promises...I have to leave...she gets up and starts to head home.
Carlos: Think about it, Brina...please? He begs and she knows how big a deal it is for him to beg.
Sabrina: For now...she leaves Kellys and heads home hoping Patrick won't ask any questions.
