OK deep troubles ahead guys...
Cam looks like a ghost. His face wounds have healed but he still looks battered. And he is indeed out of his mind with fear. "Did you find Chad?" Sonny and Will look at each other. Sonny presses Will's hand and tells Cam "No. He's vanished." Cam shakes his head, sadly. "I hope he's OK. I really do." "What do you mean?" Abby's voice is strained and harsh. She's sitting next to the bed, her hands on her lap, not raising her head. Sonny thinks she might just have been weeping. Cam looks surprised. "Well, I'm worried for him. He was trying to help me and..." Sonny's knees sag with relief. So do Will's it seems.
"... help you?" Will's tone is unassured "He wasn't the one who hit you? He was so mad at you after the accident reveal!" Cam looks serious and answers "Yes, he was but he just yelled. Then, he talked with Brian and he got what was going on... Chad is brave and strong..." He taps Abby's petrified hand "... You were right to choose him. I'm sorry I tried and get in between the two of you." Sonny is busy connecting the dots "Brian threatened you in front of Chad?" "No" says Cam. "Brian is in the same position I am. Trapped. We owe him a fortune that we can't repay and he chose me as an example." Give back money? To whom? Was it what the sum he asked Sonny for was about? It had been left untouched in his bag then when he was back, he put it back in the safe at Common Ground once he was back, thinking it wasn't one of Chad's priority anymore. He was wrong. "Whom do you own money to?" "I don't know exactly, at first I was only in relation with..." He lowers his voice "... your aggressor, Sonny. My ex-colleague. He was recruited directly once on the run. He said he was only obeying orders. But I could delay down payment if I agreed to do a favor." Will looks a little weird upon hearing this but he quickly regroups and asks "Why didn't you agree?" Cam scowls "I may be in high debts but I'm not a criminal. I don't plan on crossing that line. Brian passed the last message, he couldn't stop the other one from viciously beating me up. Chad had cornered me behind the hospital to settle things. He was dragged into all this... I shouldn't let anyone near me again, I'm destroying all of your lives just by existing..." It's hard to contradict him. Cam has been really unlucky and his friends have been hurt.
Sonny excuses himself from the room and drinks some coffee so that he'll think clearly. Brian at his father's office. His dad defending him. Did he obtain immunity for a denunciation? So Justin knows who is behind all this. Sonny must discuss all this with Will.
Cam is sleeping again. Abby and Will head to Sonny, talking about Chad "The police can look after him now, he isn't a suspect anymore. You think they'll speak about this on local TV and radios?" "I'll ask my grandpa. You want us to give you a ride?" "It's OK thanks. Mel is picking me up."
Sonny closes his door and hugs Will. "You're better kitten?" Will is quasi liquid with relief "Yea. and you m'love?" Sonny is more stressed "I'll be when we'll see Chad again. I'm frightened for him." He goes to fetch two water bottles, half listening to Will's chatter "It's great Mel is spending the day with Abby. I would have helped her cope but it's nice to take a break. And Mel must be spruced up after her dinner with Adam. She'll lift her spirits. Mel was boring my ears out on the phone yesterday. She wanted him to come to the concert so much, you remember? She thought he was starting to back down." Sony bites his lips. Now, here, he must tell Will about his friend. Another question comes up though as he recalls something T said "Will, how did you get the concert ticket so fast?" Will arches an eyebrow and replies "Through Adam. He knows people..." Sonny was expecting it but hoping he was wrong. "They were expensive?" "Not really... you see, Adam is pretty cool and he said 'I can give you those and you'll do me a favor and we'll be even.' It's not the first time that.." Sonny is waiting, numb. Will is silent. Sonny asks coldly "What kind of favor?"
