On the docks --

Lorenzo meets Faith for a midnight meeting on the docks. He's concerned about the next step in Faith's plan to take over the territory, and Faith is boasting about a job well done.

"I hope you know what you're doing," Lorenzo said as he came upon Faith.

"Of course I do. It's working fabulously so far." she replied as she approached him.

"Yeah that's what I'm afraid of. When Sonny and Ric find out what we've done, we're good as dead."

"You worry too much, Lorenzo."

"No, I'm being cautious, Faith. Too much too soon will cause mistakes and mistakes we don't need right now. We should be keeping a low profile, instead we're setting up Sonny and Ric and ...."

"And reaping the rewards ..." she finished his sentence for him and grinned.

At the safehouse --

The long black limo droved down the narrow dirt path towards the secluded cabin the woods, as Davis and Mario accompanied Ric and Alexis back to the safehouse.

The car parked out in front of the cabin, and Ric emerged from the car. Alexis followed behind him as Davis helped Ric up to the porch. Viola inside with the girls, Alexis was relieved to be back safely with her family. Davis assisted Ric to the couch and then took his place outside standing guard with Mario. Frankie stood inside the cabin and waited for his orders from Ric.

Alexis and Viola snuck up the stairs to take a look in on the girls, while Ric and Frankie discussed business.

"I want you to get me everything on what went down tonight. I need to know what Durant is up to and what he found at the warehouse."

"Yes, sir." Frankie replied and then he turned back towards the door.

Alexis stood at the top of the stairs and watched Frankie leave the cabin before she came back down. Ric heard her on the stairs and watched her as she came over and sat with him on the couch.

"Everything okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, we'll be fine here at the cabin. No one else knows about this place but us, not even Sonny."

"Durant thinks he has you, doesn't he?"

"Yes I suppose he thinks so. But it's not him I'm worried about."

"Oh ... "

Ric shook off his suspicions of Zander and the case that was building against him. Zander had enough evidence to put both he and Sonny away for a long time.

"I'm worried about you and the girls. The four of you should of went to the island with Carly and the boys."

"No, I'm not leaving you here. We're better off here at the cabin then thousands of miles away without you."

Alexis snuggled up close to Ric on the couch, his arm wrapped around her, as she leaned in against him. He winced when he felt her up against his aching body.

Frankie had left to go do what he was told, while Davis and Mario stood guard outside the door of the cabin. The two bruts taking turns walking the perimeter of the property every hour as a safety precaution. No one was getting close to Ric and his family, they were safe, at least for tonight.

On the docks --

As Lorenzo steps into the shadows and disappears into the night, Faith is startled by a visitor.

"Who's there ...." she says as she can hear footsteps come up behind her.

"It's me ..."

Faith turns around when she recognizes the deep voice, and comes face to face with Trevor.

Coming up ....

- Trevor threatens Faith

- Zander and Jameson arrest Sonny

- Jason returns home
