Clive had just hung his phone up when he saw Jason Morgan come out from the back office and stare him down suspiciously with his cold steely blue eyes. Clive smiled. He was wondering when Jason was going to figure it out. He knew Jason wouldn't talk to a FBI agent so he had to make him a little bit suspicous. It had taken Luke long enough to get Jason involved in his suspicions. He needed Jason tonight and was about thisclose to confronting Jason himself, no matter what the risk was.
J: "Mr. Johnson, we need to talk." Sits down across the table from Clive"
C: "We most definitely do, Mr. Morgan."
J: "What the h*ll does the FBI want with Brenda Corinthos."
C: "You get right to the point, don't you?"
J: "I don't have time for small talk. I swore to Sonny Corinthos that I would protect her if anything ever happened to him. I want to know what is going on."
C: "Do you really think that I would tell you FBI business?"
J: "No, but I'll find out anyways."
C: "You will, will you? Well to answer your question, we don't want anything to do with Mrs. Corinthos."
J: "Then why the h*ll were you asking about her?"
C: "To get to you, and for personal knowledge."
J: "Personal knowledge? What is that supposed to mean? What do you want with me?"
C: "Personal knowledge? You'll find out soon. You? I need you to come with me tonight."
J: "Why would I go anywhere with you tonight? I don't even know you, let alone trust you to take me anywhere. You're a damned FBI agent."
C: They had been talking in hushed whispers, but Clive started talking even more quietly so that Jason could barely hear what he was saying. "Corinthos is coming home tonight and I want you there when I meet him."
J: Shocked. He couldn't have heard what Clive had just said correctly. Sonny coming home? Impossible. He was dead, wasn't he? "What kind of game do you think you're playing, Mr. Johnson? Do you really think I would believe you?"
C: "No, but you can believe this." Clive hands Jason a tape recorder with headphones. Jason listens to it. It was of the conversation that Clive had just finished with "Sam." Jason recognizes the voice immediately.
J: Takes the headphones off. "I'm not sure if I trust you, but you have my curiosity piqued. I'll come tonight, but I'll get there by my own means. I want you to explain to me what is going on."
C: "Later. All you need right now are tonight's details." Clive hands a file full of intructions to Jason. Jason takes it cautiously. He looks at Clive wanting answers now, but can tell that he won't get any. Clive gets up and heads to the door. Before he leaves. "Mr. Morgan, don't tell anyone about this, not even Mr. Spencer. It would put everyone in danger if they find out about him too soon." Clive leaves before Jason can ask what kind of danger.

Jason is the only one at Lukes. Customers don't usually come in the middle of the afternoon, and Luke was out until the night. What was going on? Was Sonny alive? Why was he involved with the FBI? Better yet, how did he survive death? Brenda had watched him die and the rest of the wedding party watched as the EMTs wheeled what seemed like very dead man to the morgue. Jason had gone to see him in the morgue, and he had looked so sickly. There couldn't have been any life in him. This whole scenario was close to impossible, but Jason somewhere in the back of his mind and in the corner of his heart he hoped it was true.

The confrontation scene in Spencer kitchen was starting to heat up.
B: Coming towards Jessi to put her hand on her face. Jessi retreats backwards and stares cooly at her mother. "Honey, I didn't want you to find out yet." She sees the newspaper and goes to pick it up. Glances over it and puts it back down. "Or to find out like this."
J: "Well I did find out like that. Did you think I wouldn't ever find out? Did you think I would live my entire life in some dreamworld that my father was the best man in the world and a great business man?" She can see the hurt in her mother's eyes, but she doesn't care because she was very angry.
B: "Jessi, I was going to tell you when you were older. You're nine years old. I wanted you to live in peace a couple more years before you were hit with reality of you father. As old as you act, you are still very young and you shouldn't have to deal with this."
J: "I don't care how young I am, I want to deal with this. I want to know why…..why he was in the mob, why you married him, why he died." She feels tears start to well up in her eyes. She lets them fall down her face, they somehow make the hurt, anger and confusion seem less painful.
B: She can't stand seeing her daughter in so much pain. She tries to reach out and hug her, but Jessi refuses her touch again. Jessi does however let Laura hold her hand. Brenda felt a little comforted by this. "Jessi we need to sit down, this is going to take awhile."
La: "Why don't we all go in the living room and sit down. I'm sure all of you girls want to know what happened. Brenda, remember Lois and I here to help you and the girls. This moment has come way to fast for all of us."
B: "Thank you Laura."
They all go sit in the living room. Jessi sits next to Laura on the couch. Brenda sits next to them. Lois sits in a chair. Brooke sits on the floor next to her mom. Lulu sits in the other chair in the room.
B: Looks at Jessi. "What would you like to know first?"
J: She had so many questions. Where would she start? How about where all the lies started. "The wedding. What happened at your wedding?"
B: A sad smile appears on her face. "Where do you want me to start? The beginning of the wedding or where everything went bad?"
J: "The beginning. You never told me about it."
B: "Okay. I was wearing an off white fitted dress and had white flowers in my hair. Your father looked so good in his tux. It was going to be the happiest day of our lives. I remember the bride music starting and I walked down the aisle on Mr. Quartermaine's arm. He was kind of like a father to me so I asked him to give me away. I got to the end of the aisle and I looked into Sonny's eyes and I knew that he loved me. I don't remember much about what the priest said I was looking at Sonny the whole time. The next thing I knew I was Mrs. Corinthos and I was walking down the aisle on the arm of my husband." Brenda smiles. "My husband. That's all I ever wanted him to be. It only lasted an hour. We went to the reception and greeted our guests. Then we started dancing our first dance together as husband and wife. We were the only ones on the dance floor. That's probably why we were such easy targets." Brenda notices that somewhere during the story, Jessi had let go of Laura and had inched closer to her. She reached to grab her hand and Jessi took it and held on to dear life. Brenda felt her shaking. "Jessi do you want me to continue? Do you think you can handle this?"
J: Gets closer to her mother and curls up next to her. "Yes, I need to hear it."
