What lies beyond Chapter 20
At the Quartermaine mansion—Outside, John had just rung the doorbell when his phone rang. He answered it. "Do you have information for me?" John asked as the person told him something, then he hung up the phone. AJ answered the door. "John Cates," AJ Quartermaine said. "It's been a long time," John said as he entered. "Yes, it has been a long time since high school. Why are you here?" AJ asked as they went into the den, where Skye, Tracy, and Elizabeth were. "I need to talk to Skye." "I'm Skye. What can I do for you?" Skye asked. "I'm John Cates, FBI agent, and I want to put your ex-husband behind bars," John said. "I can help you," Skye said; she thought he was handsome. "John, last time you almost had Sonny, but it didn't end well. How can we trust you this time?" Tracy asked. "Lorenzo doesn't have anyone supporting him. He's all alone, which makes him vulnerable," John said.
Gabriella was in the hallway, listening to the conversation, upset about it, and left the house.
"John, I have information that I took from my ex-husband. Why don't you meet me at my office at ELQ? It's in my office there," Skye said. "Sounds good in an hour." "Yes, I want to keep quiet on this." "Me too. This time, I will win," John said. "It's personal for you, isn't it?" Skye asked. "Yes, it's still about Karen, isn't it, John?" AJ asked. "Sonny used and abused Karen." "Yes, he did. You wouldn't find me defending him. I do hope you destroy the mob," AJ said.
At Lorenzo's—Lorenzo and Carly were lying on the couch covered in a blanket when Gabriella came in. "Daddy!" Gabriella yelled, upset about what she heard Skye say and seeing her father like that. Lorenzo and Carly woke up. "What's going on?" Lorenzo asked. "Who's yelling?" Carly asked as they looked at Gabriella. "Gabriella, why are you here?" "I have information that you want to know. Get dressed! Daddy, one tramp to another one!" Gabriella yelled. "I'm not a tramp," Carly said. "I'm going upstairs to my old room to get some clothes, then we can talk," Gabriella said and went upstairs.
Carly was getting dressed. "I'm sorry about my daughter, but maybe sleeping with you is a mistake! But don't forget, I can tell Gabriella the truth about her at any moment." "You don't have any proof. I can make you disappear. No one cares about you anymore. No one is here to save you!" Lorenzo yelled. Carly was upset and left the house.
