Karen slowly opened her eyes and gazed over to where Sonny was sleeping next to her. All she saw was a note on the pillow.
Karen, I had to go to a meeting and you looked so peaceful I didn’t want to wake you. I’ll call you when I can. Love, Sonny
She set down the paper, jumped in the shower and then headed downstairs. She took a seat at the counter just as Tammy came around with a pot of coffee.
“Good morning, Karen. So, how was your first night in your new room?” Tammy asked suspiciously as she poured her a cup of coffee.
“It was fine, I…” Karen stopped when it hit her, “I’m sorry, I know the rules, but…”
“Don’t worry about it. Sonny told me that he helped you move in and that he just…fell asleep. I’m not going to say anything to Bobbie, you’re safe.”
“Thanks, I own you one.”
“I’ll remember that, Doc. So, you and Sonny are back together, huh? I never would have seen that one coming. Not after everything that happened.”
“Honestly, Tammy, me either. I’m going to head to the store. I have Serena tonight and I promised her we’d rent a scary movie and make some popcorn. Do you need anything while I’m out?”
Tammy shook her head as she hurried over to a table while Karen walked out the door.

“Scott, what do you mean you want to cancel the trip? We leave in a few hours!” Eve asked.
“I have a lot of stuff to take care of and I just don’t think now is a good time to be going off on vacation.”
“Please tell me that this has nothing to do with the fact that your oldest daughter has finally found some happiness.”
“Happiness? Give me a beak, Eve! How can you be happy in a place that has bulletproof windows? Karen went through a rough time with Joe and she’s not thinking clearly right now. She’ll come around.”
“Scott, is it so hard for you to admit that she’s in love with Sonny?”
“Don’t even…” Scott covered his ears, “Don’t say it. She can’t be, there’s no way.”
“ Karen knows exactly what she’s doing, there’s nothing to worry about. Now, go upstairs and pack your bags, we have a vacation to go on!”
“We can’t go, Eve. There’s no one to take care of Serena.”
“She’s going to Karen’s, remember?”
“You think I’m going to send her over there so she can hang out with that mobster?! Not a chance!”
“”Oh would you just calm down! Nothing is going to happen, Scott. Your girls are really looking forward to spending some time together. You can’t take that away from them just because you’re too overprotective!”
“What’s so wrong about wanting to protect your children?”
“If you tell Karen that she can’t watch Serena, it’ll crush her. Do you want her to think that you don’t trust her?”
“Of course I trust her, Eve. She’s my daughter! I just don’t like the choices she’s making.”
“She’s an adult, get used to it!”
“Fine, Serena can go to Karen’s and we can go on our trip. But if something happens while we’re gone…”
“Everything’s going to be fine, Scott. We’re only going to be gone for a few days.”
Scott sighed angrily as he stomped up the stairs.

“You wanted to talk to me, Commissioner?” Kellie said standing in the doorway.
“Have a seat, Detective. I have a case that I need you to take on. We have been trying to nail this guy for years, but nothing seems to stick. Now, I know that you’re new to the department, but you have an impressive background and I think you can handle this.”
“Well, thank you for having so much faith in me. I promise I won’t let you down.”
“I’ve asked Taggert to back off on this one because he is too personally involved. So, if he tries to interfere, please let me know. Here is the updated file we have on him,” He told her handing her the thick folder.
“I’ll study this tonight and see where to go from…” She stopped as she caught a glance at the name printed on the folder.
Looking at it more carefully, she saw that she hadn’t read it wrong the first time. The man she was to have arrested was Sonny Corinthos.
