METRO COURT
Sonny: (Shaking Juan's hand) "Nice to see you Juan. I was surprised to get your call."
Juan: "Yea, I'm in town on some family matters. Which is why I needed to see you."
Sonny: "Is everything okay?"
Juan: "Well, I'm not exactly sure, my cousin who should be here with her husband any minute, is in need of some protection. I will let her explain what she needs when they get here."
Sonny: "I'd be happy to help in anyway I can, he smiles. Does your cousin live in Port Charles?"
Juan: "As a matter of fact, she does...with her husband who I believe you know quite well. Sonny seems surprised... Here they are now"...he says getting up to introduce Sabrina to Sonny.
Sonny: "Patrick?" He says confused.
Juan: "Sonny, I'd like you to meet my cousin Sabrina Drake. Have you met before?"
Sabrina: "No, we haven't been formally introduced. Mr. Corinthos, Nice to meet you,she says shaking his hand. I believe you know my husband, she smiles.
Sonny: "I do, Patrick"...he shakes his hand too. "Nice to see you... And please, call me Sonny," he winks.
Sabrina blushes...they all sit.
Patrick: "Sonny, thanks for meeting us."
Sonny: "When Juan said it was a family matter, it took priority. I was not expecting to see you...You have a beautiful wife," he flirts with Sabrina making her blush even more...
Patrick: "I know, thanks," becoming territorial...."so, the reason we're here," he tries to change the subject.
Sabrina: "Yes," she tries to ease Patrick's anger she can see coming through in his face, by holding his hand...."I don't know if my cousin told you exactly why Patrick and I wanted to meet with you?"
Sonny: "No, he didn't."
Sabrina explains what happened to her parents and why they asked to meet with Sonny.
Sonny: "I'm sorry for your loss Sabrina...That is just terrible...As I told Juan, we will do everything we can to make sure you and your family are safe."
Sabrina: "Thank you Sonny...we really appreciate your help. Our main priority is our kids."
Sonny: "Of course, of course..."
Patrick: "I don't want it so obvious that something is wrong...Emma is at that age where she questions everything and I don't want her to get upset."
Sonny: "My men will be far enough away but close enough to protect your family Patrick...Emma won't even notice a difference in your daily lives."
Sabrina: "That's what we were hoping for. We also have two little boys"...she smiles showing Sonny their pictures.
Sonny: "They are beautiful...I will have my associate do a little background check on the people in Puerto Rico and find out any information I can as to who was responsible for your parents unfortunate demise," Sonny says.
Patrick: "We appreciate that...that would actually be very helpful. We have no idea who or what killed them and my wife would like some answers as would I...especially why they are after her..."
Sonny: "We will do what we can...As soon as I have any information I will call you."
Patrick: (They all stand) "Thank you for taking time to meet with us Sonny," he shakes his hand.
Sonny: "My pleasure...we will do our very best to keep your family safe Patrick, I promise you that."
Patrick: "I'm counting on it, thanks. I just hope we get answers and get this problem out of our lives as fast as possible."
Sonny: "I'll be in touch, Juan...won't you come back to the house?"
Juan: "Sure, I'll meet you there, I just want to say goodbye to my cousin."
Sonny: "Great, see you."
Sabrina: "That went well, she laughs."
Juan: "When Sonny says he will do whatever he can, he means it...you have nothing to worry about Cous."
Sabrina: "I believe that...I have to thank you Juan...You always come to my rescue!" She smiles kissing his cheek.
Juan: "That's what family is all about.I'll be in touch!"
Sabrina: "Patrick, what's wrong?" She sees he is a little concerned.
Patrick: "What?"
Sabrina: "Come on, I can see it in your face...are you having second thoughts about this?"
Patrick: "I don't know...I mean, I'm not thrilled about having bodyguards around my house or kids...but I know it's the only way to ensure your safety...if anything ever happened to you, I'd..."
Sabrina: "Hey, shhhhh," she puts her fingers on his lips...kisses him..."I'm right here...and I'm not going anywhere! You have nothing to worry about..."
Patrick: "I hope so," he kisses her passionately.
Sabrina: "Wow! That was, well..."
Patrick: "Good?" He teases...
Sabrina: "Yea," she she blushes...she looks at her watch..."Felix is with the kids," she winks...
Patrick: "You read my mind Mrs. Drake!"
Patrick and Sabrina take advantage of the time they have alone and rent a room for a few hours where they make love and hold each other in their arms.
A few hours later Sabrina's phone keeps ringing...
Sabrina: "Oh my god! Who keeps calling," she says annoyed grabbing her phone...
Patrick: "I would answer it if I were you," he teases..."it could be your new boyfriend, Sonny..."
Sabrina: "Patrick!" She smacks him playfully! "There is no caller ID."
Patrick: "Answer it babe."
Sabrina: "Hello?"
Patrick: "Who is it?"
Sabrina: "They aren't speaking, but I hear breathing," Patrick takes the phone...
Patrick: "Who is this?!" No answer...and then dial tone.
Sabrina: "Anything?" She asks worriedly.
Patrick: "No...this is not happening already," he exhales loudly and lays down on the pillow releasing anger.
Sabrina: "I think I should let Juan know so we can get Sonny on it...maybe they can trace the call. I'll send him a text."
Patrick: "I won't lie babe, I"m terrified...what if that was them and they have already located you?"
Sabrina: "Let's not jump to conclusions Patrick," she says getting dressed. "Juan said Sonny would find out who was behind this and I believe he will do just that...let's just relax until we know who the call was from. Come on we have to get home...Felix is probably worried."
Patrick gets dressed and they both head home.
Felix is pacing the living room.
Felix: "Where the hell have you two been!?"
Sabrina: "We ah...stopped somewhere after our meeting..."
Felix: (rolls his eyes) "OMG! Take advantage of my babysitting abilities." he jokes...."So, how was the meeting? And wait, who did you meet with?"
Patrick: I think Felix should be filled in on what's going on don't you? He asks in code.
Felix: "What? What's going on? Should I be worried?"
Sabrina: "Well, no...not really..."
Felix: "Not really? Bri, you're starting to scare me...what the hell is going on?"
Sabrina explains their meeting with Sonny and the reason behind the need for the protection.
Felix: "Wow...Bri, I'm so so sorry to hear about your father and step-mother, he hugs her. Are you doing okay?"
Sabrina: "I'm hanging in there, but I'm just worried about my families safety right now."
Patrick: "I'm worried about yours!" He frowns.
Felix: "Ditto! If there is anything I can do, please just ask."
Sabrina: "Thanks Felix...actually, just keep your eyes open for any strange activity. Sonny's men will be guarding me and the kids at a safe enough distance as to not freak them out...you know Emma, if she knew something was wrong, she would freak out."
Felix: "Definitely...that little girl is one protective Diva in her own right," they all chuckle. "Your secret is safe with me!"
A couple days go by and everything seemed to be normal...they haven't gotten anymore mysterious phone calls since the night in the hotel.
Sonny: "Shawn, are you sure about this? 100 %? I don't want to call Sabrina or Patrick and give them information that isn't accurate."
Shawn: "200% sure...the people responsible for Mrs. Drake's family's death are the Rivera's...her ex-boyfriends family."
Sonny: "Thank you. Keep digging up any information you can on the Rivera's...my late wife's maiden name was Rivera..."
Shawn: "Will do...whatever I find I'll let you know."
Sonny: "Shawn, thanks"...Sonny takes his phone out to call Sabrina.
Sabrina: "Hello?" She says answering her cell.
Sonny: "Sabrina? Hi, it's Sonny Corinthos."
Sabrina: "Mr. Corinthos, hello...nice to hear from you."
Sonny: "I thought I told you to call me Sonny," he laughs.
Sabrina: "You did, my apologizes," she smiles. What can I do for you Sonny?
Sonny: "I have some information about your parents...are you available to meet with me?"
Sabrina: "Sure, come to the house...you know where we live?"
Sonny: "I do, are you sure that would be okay with Patrick?"
Sabrina: "It will be fine...the kids aren't here."
Sonny: "I'll see you in a little while."
Patrick: "Who was that?"
Sabrina: "Sonny...he has information for us."
Patrick: "Already? Wow...that was fast."
Sabrina: "He's on his way over now," she says waiting for Patrick to flip.
Patrick: "Alright...well, hopefully you'll get the answers you deserve my love," he pulls her into a kiss.
Sonny arrives a little while later and gives them the news about Carlos Rivera and his families ties to Sabrina's parents murder.
Patrick: "Carlos? As in Carlos Rivera? My wife's ex?"
Sabrina is furious.
Sonny: "Sorry to say, but yes...It was Carlos's family that was behind the murders of Sabrina's parents...I wish I had better news but my men are 200% sure of this.
Sabrina hasn't said anything since Sonny told them and Patrick can see the anger in her eyes.
Patrick: "Babe...are you okay?"
Sabrina: "Am I okay? AM I OKAY? NO!" She says standing up getting her coat.
Patrick: "Where the hell are you going?"
Sabrina: "To confront Carlos that's where?"
Patrick: "The hell you are," he says trying to get her coat off her but she refuses.
Sabrina: "Patrick, I have to," he bursts into tears. "I have to." She leaves before Patrick or Sonny can stop her.
Patrick: "Sabrina!"
Sonny: "Let her go, she'll be fine...Patrick...stop!" He pulls him from the door."Listen to me...let her do this."
Patrick: "Sonny...what if," he rubs his face in his hands.
Sonny: "She needs to get answers for herself...Max is one step behind her...He won't let anything happen to her."
Patrick: "This is not how things were to end up." He says angrily...
Sonny: "Listen to me, here...sit...drink this," he pours Patrick a drink.
Patrick: "Bourbon? How is bourbon going to help."
Sonny: It will take the edge off, just drink it...can I give you some advice?"
Patrick: "Yea, I guess...do I have a choice...I mean my wife is going after a mobster right now and there's nothing I can do to stop her."
Sonny: "Good...now...woman as stubborn as your wife need to take matters upon themselves to protect their loved ones. Even if it puts them in danger. She loves you so much that she is willing to risk herself to get those answers...here," he pours another.
Patrick: "I guess...he downs that drink as well...I can't believe I'm sitting here with you of all people discussing this!" He shakes his head in disbelief.
Sonny: "You and me both...look...I know we've had our differences in the past but I'm glad we are able to be on the same page. Have you heard any progress reports on Robin by any chance?
Patrick: "No...I haven't...if she knew anything about what was going on here, god only knows what she would do. I'm glad I won't have to find out. This better get resolved before she is released again."
Sonny: "I'm sorry she put your family through so much hell...but in all fairness Patrick, you have to agree that it was a result of her kidnapping...right?"
Patrick: "Of course I do...it's just the things that she made my wife endure are too great for forgiveness right now. I don't know if you know this, but Sabrina can't have anymore children after that car accident that she and Robin were in, that Robin caused."
Sonny: "No, I didn't...Patrick that is terrible.
Patrick: So you can understand why we won't be one big happy family for a long time.
Sonny: "Yea, I guess that would make for an awkward Thanksgiving table!" They both laugh.
Port Charles Herald offices: Metro Court
Sabrina: (Gets off the elevator) "Carlos!" She shouts! "Carlos!"
Carlos: "Sabrina! What the hell are you yelling for?"
Sabrina: "You son of a bitch!" She slaps and pushes Carlos.
Carlos: "What the hell is the matter with you?"
Sabrina: "Like you don't know?!"
Carlos: "KNOW WHAT?" He shouts!
Sabrina: "Your're the reason my parents were killed!"
Carlos: "What?! I swear I have no idea what you are talking about Sabrina?"
Sabrina: "Save it! I have proof that your family is the reason my parents were killed the other day!"
Carlos: "Who told you that?"
Sabrina: "Never mind...The entire time we were together, the ENTIRE time...you were lying to me, weren't you? You were just using me as a decoy!"
Carlos: "No! A decoy, never! Sabrina, I loved you! I still love you! There must be some mistake!
Sabrina: "No, no no, there is no mistake! Carlos, you can stop with all of the distractions and lies. I know you're involved in the mob. Especially the mob in Puerto Rico! I know you're family is working to get a hold of my father's territory and that is why he is dead! They are now after me and they want Sonny Corinthos's territory now...and are after me to get it! All because of YOU!" She breaks down in tears.
Carlos: Gives in and admits what he knows..."Okay, Sabrina...okay, you're right...my family was responsible and you have to believe me when I tell you that I love you and always have. I was pressured into dating you back in high school, but as we got to know each other, I fell completely in love with you and none of that other stuff mattered."
Sabrina: "But it matters now?" She cries.
Carlos: "I did everything in my power that I could think of to stop this from happening. You have to believe me!"
Sabrina: "You didn't try hard enough! Stay away from me and my family or so help me!" She leaves the office devastated and heads back home.
Patrick is pacing back and forth waiting for his wife to return.
Patrick: "Babe, oh thank god! Thank god your home! I was worried," he hugs is wife glad that she is safe. "How'd it go?"
Sabrina: "Well, Sonny was right...it was Carlos's family. He denied it at first, but I got him to admit the truth," she cries.
Patrick: "Oh sweetie," he wipes the tears away..."I'm so sorry," he hugs her.
There's a knock at the door.
Sabrina: "UGH, who is that!?" She says angrily.
Patrick: "I'll get rid of them," he kisses her.
Sabrina: "Thanks."
Patrick opens the door and is beyond shocked at who he is seeing.
Patrick: "Oh my god!" He says stunned and unable to move.
Sabrina: "Patrick? Who is it?"
Woman: "Is this the residence of Sabrina Drake?"
Sabrina: "It is...hello, she shakes the woman's hand..."I'm Sabrina Drake...how may we help you?" Patrick is stunned and unable to speak.
Patrick: "Sabrina...ummmmm...I, this, is uh, is it really you?"
Woman: "I gather your husband knows who I am...may I come in?"
Patrick: "Please, yea...sorry...I'm just a tad shocked as you can imagine," he says taking her coat.
Sabrina: "Would someone like to tell me who you are? I have enough going on to be have something else in my life to be mysterious right now."
Patrick: Sabrina, this is ummmm, Lily Corinthos.
Sabrina is shocked now as well...
Sabrina: "It can't be?! She blew up in a car bomb nearly 20 years ago..."
Lily: "Sabrina," she takes her hand...."I assure you, your husband is correct. I am Lily Rivera Corinthos."
Sabrina pulls her hand away as she hears her maiden name.
Sabrina: "Rivera? Your the reason my parents are dead?"
Lily: "No, no...well, sort of..."
Sabrina: "Miss, you aren't making any sense."
Lily: "Please, call me Lily. And your right, I'm not making any sense am I?...This is not easy to tell you," she gets teary. "Those people, the Santiago's, they weren't your biological parents."
Sabrina: "What?" She shakes her head."I don't understand."
Lily: "Sabrina, she tries to take her hand again..."There's really no easy way to say this so I'm just going to show you"...she pulls out a piece of paper and hands it to Patrick.
Patrick: "A birth certificate?"
Lily: "Yes, she says with tears of joy. Yes. Can you please read what it says.
Patrick: "Child, Sabrina Maria Dominica Rivera Corin...I'm sorry, what?"
Lily: "You're reading that correctly Patrick"...Sabrina hasn't said anything and is in total shock.
Patrick: "Sabrina Maria Dominica Rivera Corinthos?" He stares in his wife's eyes just as shocked as she is.
Lily: "Sabrina, angel, say something," she strokes her cheek as tears stream down Sabrina's face.
Sabrina: "Mama?" She finally says sobbing.
Lily hugs her daughter whom she hasn't seen since she was a baby.
Lily: "Shhhh, shhh, shhh," she strokes her hair..."I know your shocked, but it's really me...mama is here...and I'm never leaving you again!"
