What began as a covert assignment quickly spirals into one of Port Charles’ most dangerous conspiracies yet, placing Josslyn Jacks directly in the crosshairs of the criminal underworld—and forcing Brick to race against time to save her life.

A Mission That Was Never What It Seemed

Josslyn believed she was following a carefully controlled plan when she traveled to Spoon Island to disable the electrical grid. Acting on instructions passed down through Jack Brennan, the task appeared strategic but contained—another calculated move in a shadowy chess game she didn’t fully understand. What Josslyn didn’t know was that her actions were already being watched, tracked, and weaponized by forces far more ruthless than she imagined.

Behind the scenes, Collins had reached a chilling conclusion: Josslyn knew too much—or was dangerously close to knowing it. Her questions, her movements, and her presence on Spoon Island signaled a threat to the empire he had spent years building. His solution was brutally simple. Silence her. Permanently.

Brick’s Instincts Kick In

Back in Port Charles, Brick noticed subtle but unmistakable changes in Josslyn. Normally sharp and guarded by choice, she had grown evasive in a way that felt different—unsettled. Brick’s instincts, honed by years navigating Sonny Corinthos’ dangerous world, told him this wasn’t teenage recklessness or misplaced bravado. This was fear.

When Brick discovered Josslyn had been asking questions about Spoon Island’s power infrastructure, alarm bells rang. The excuse she offered—a harmless school-related curiosity—didn’t hold. Brick knew that kind of information was only sought for one reason: sabotage. And sabotage always carried consequences.

Digging deeper through his criminal contacts, Brick uncovered the truth Josslyn didn’t yet see. Collins had already set a kill order in motion. A professional had been hired—someone skilled enough to follow, wait, and strike when the moment was cleanest. Josslyn wasn’t just in danger. She was on borrowed time.

The Trap Tightens

Unaware of the hit, Josslyn began to feel the pressure closing in. The sense of being watched followed her from Spoon Island back to Port Charles. Every sound felt amplified. Every unfamiliar face looked suspicious. What had once felt like calculated risk now felt like outright terror.

As fragments of the truth surfaced, the realization hit her with devastating force: she hadn’t just been used—she had been marked. Collins wasn’t reacting out of paranoia; he was protecting secrets that ran deeper than power outages or illegal deals. Josslyn had unknowingly stepped into a web of corruption that stretched far beyond her original mission.

When Brick finally confronted her, the gravity of the situation shattered what remained of her confidence. Learning that a hit had been ordered on her life reframed everything. The mission. Brennan’s role. Collins’ reach. Nothing was accidental.

A Dangerous Alliance

Terrified of escalating the situation, Josslyn begged Brick to keep the truth hidden. She knew what Collins was capable of and feared that exposure would only provoke faster, more violent retaliation—not just against her, but against everyone she loved. But Brick understood something she couldn’t fully grasp yet: silence wouldn’t save her. It would kill her.

Defying Josslyn’s wishes, Brick began working the shadows—quietly dismantling the machinery Collins had set in motion. Every step required precision. One mistake could alert the hitman or expose Brick himself. And in Sonny’s world, choosing a side always came with consequences.

Brick’s loyalty was torn between discretion and survival. Josslyn wasn’t just collateral damage. She was family-adjacent—someone Sonny cared about deeply. Letting her die to preserve secrecy wasn’t an option.

Collins’ Ruthlessness Exposed

As Brick peeled back layers of Collins’ operation, the scope of the threat expanded. This wasn’t simply about silencing Josslyn. It was about protecting a network of lies—money laundering, political leverage, and alliances that could collapse if the wrong truth surfaced.

Collins had built his power on contingency plans, and Josslyn’s death was only one of them. The closer Brick got to the core, the clearer it became that this was a man who eliminated risks without hesitation. Negotiation wasn’t in his vocabulary. Survival meant exposure—or elimination.

Racing the Clock

With the hitman closing in, Brick moved decisively. He tightened security around Josslyn without drawing attention, feeding misinformation through channels Collins monitored while quietly redirecting the threat. Every move was a gamble, but waiting was no longer an option.

Josslyn, meanwhile, was unraveling under the psychological weight of being hunted. Her once-fearless resolve fractured into hypervigilance. Sleep became impossible. Trust felt dangerous. Without Brick’s steady presence, she knew she wouldn’t last.

The two formed an uneasy partnership—protector and target—bound by fear and determination. Brick didn’t promise safety. He promised effort. And in Port Charles, that was the closest thing to hope.

The Secret That Changes Everything

As Brick closed in on Collins’ inner circle, a deeper truth emerged—one that explained why Josslyn had become expendable so quickly. Her mission wasn’t incidental. It had brushed dangerously close to evidence capable of exposing Collins’ entire operation. The power grid was just the surface. What lay beneath could bring down far more than one criminal kingpin.

Saving Josslyn now meant more than stopping a hit. It meant deciding whether the truth would finally see daylight—or be buried along with anyone brave enough to uncover it.

What Comes Next

With Collins’ trap exposed but not yet dismantled, Josslyn’s future remains uncertain. Brick has bought time, not safety. The hit may be delayed, rerouted, or replaced—but the threat hasn’t vanished.

What’s clear is this: Josslyn Jacks is no longer an innocent observer in Port Charles’ underworld. And Brick, having crossed a dangerous line to protect her, may have triggered a reckoning that neither of them can escape.

In a town built on secrets, the most dangerous ones are the truths that refuse to stay buried—and this one could change everything.
