## Storylines

On March 2011, Suzanne Stanwyck tells Theo Hoffman she is worried that Shawn Butler knows too much and was seen talking to Lucky Spencer last night at GH. Theo isn’t worried and says it is being handled.

A man named Hugo is in scrubs and sneaks into Shawn’s hospital room. He attempts to smother Shawn with a pillow. Shawn pulls the pillow of his head and pins Hugo’s head down as Molly Lansing-Davis walks in. Molly asks what is going on and Shawn says this orderly was just leaving.

Molly continues to ask what happened and Shawn says it was a little argument. Molly wants Shawn to report it and Lucky walks in. Shawn tells Molly he will discuss the incident with Lucky. When she leaves, Shawn tells Lucky that Theo sent someone to kill him and describes the man.

Lucky comes back later and says apparently he just missed the orderly but reported his description to security and will continue looking for him later. Shawn says not to bother as the man should be dead by nightfall as he failed his mission. Shawn later tells Jason what happened.

Later Molly enters Kelly’s as Hugo is walking out. She tells Michael Corinthos, who is inside studying. Michael thinks she might be exaggerating but she insists it is true. Michael goes after Hugo and tells Molly not to come with him.

Molly calls Dante Falconeri as Michael runs into in an alley and is grabbed by Hugo who was hiding. Hugo asks why Michael was following him. Michael asks if Hugo was in Shawn’s room this morning and if he works for Theo Hoffman. Hugo claims not to understand so Michael says Hugo can talk to his father Sonny Corinthos instead. Hugo says now they have a problem as he puts a gun to Michael’s head.

Michael says Hugo shouldn't have pulled the gun. Hugo figures Michael can't turn him over to Sonny if he is dead. Michael threatens that if he is killed, Sonny will hunt Hugo down like an animal and he will have nowhere to hide.

Hugo claims he will be protected. Michael wonders if he means Theo because that didn’t work too well for Shawn. He claims if Hugo puts down the gun, he will call Sonny and Hugo can tell him everything he knows about Theo. Hugo says he will be dead if he does that.

Dante shows up behind Hugo with a gun and says he is police and to drop the gun. Hugo tells Dante to back off or Michael is dead. Dante says no one is being killed today. If Hugo kills Michael, he will be dead by the morning. Hugo slightly turns his head toward Dante and Michael jerks his head out of the way as the gun goes off.

Michael and Hugo struggle for the gun. Michael gets the gun and holds it on Hugo. Dante arrests Hugo as Michael tells Dante that Hugo can help them find Brenda Barrett. Dante is mad that Michael put his life at risk. Hugo is taken to Interrogation.

Hugo claims he doesn’t know the Balkan or Brenda are. He finds out Dante is Michael’s brother and assumes Sonny must be his father too. Hugo says he heard Sonny owns the police department.

Dante lets Hugo know someone paid his bail and shows him Sonny waiting outside the room. Hugo refuses his bail as he is worried he will immediately be killed if he goes out there. Dante says he will leave the two of them alone.

Sonny is upset that his son was threatened and Brenda, his wife, was kidnapped. Hugo says he was minding his own business when Michael came after him. Sonny says he is picturing Michael dead in the gutter and Brenda held against her will. It makes him want to make Hugo suffer for the pain he caused.

Sonny asks Dante for some coffee but Mac Scorpio suddenly comes in. Dante explains who Hugo is and if he doesn’t cooperate Dante will file the paperwork. Mac says not to bother as it will get lost in the shuffle. Hugo says the whole department is corrupt and he wants a lawyer.

Eventually Hugo admits he was following Theo’s orders. Sonny asks where to find him. Dante wants Hugo to start from the beginning and tell them how long he has been working for Theo. Hugo says since October. He was hired to do some surveillance. Theo wanted someone local to keep an eye on a woman he knows (Brenda).

Hugo says all of his orders were done by phone. He also stole a van and painted it to look like the catering company. Dante asks if he drove this van to the Archer Pavilion. Hugo says he was told to pull up next to the limo, open the back door, and help some guy put Brenda in. The other guy was in the back of the limo with another woman (Sam McCall). The women were both unconscious.

Sonny asks where his wife is and Hugo says he doesn’t know but he took her to the airport. There was a car waiting by the entrance to the private plane area. Hugo pulled up and Theo got out with another guy. The three men helped put Brenda into the car. Before Theo left, he told Hugo that he would call in the morning with his next assignment. Hugo realized that Theo was the Balkan at that moment. Theo’s car went back into town, Hugo torched the van and took a cab back into town. He swears he doesn't know where Theo took Brenda. Later Dante told Lulu Spencer about what happened and Sonny told Jason Morgan.
