Bobbie's Bedroom, The Brownstone: Stefan(and Bobbie are wrapped in each other's arms after making love)Do you want to tell me now what was wrong when I arrived. We've made love many times, but I've never felt such desperation in you before and it wasn't of a sexual nature. Bobbie:Stefan, I think I'm losing my mind. Stefan:What are you talking about. Bobbie:I'm still seeing Tony, only it's getting worse all the time. The night before I heard him calling my name all night long. And tonight, I imagined he was trying to drown me in my bathtub one minute and the next I was waking up in bed, wearing my robe, with my hair dry and there being no sign in my bathroom that I'd even ran water in my tub, recently, and I could have sworn I ran water into the tub and it ran over, earlier. Stefan:You did. You told me the tub was overflowing while we were talking on the phone. Bobbie:But there was no sign of water on the floor. And if I'd cleaned it up, wouldn't I remember doing that? Stefan:There's something not right about this whole situation. Come on, let's get up and go investigate in the bathroom. Bobbie:All right, but I don't know what you think you're going to find. Stefan:Just humor me.(they get out of bed and go into the bathroom) Bobbie:See, it's just like I told you. The floor is dry and I don't remember cleaning it up. Maybe that's the answer. Maybe I cleaned it up and I just don't remember doing it. Maybe I just blacked out the part where I got out of the tub, cleaned up the mess, then went in the bedroom and went to sleep. But I've never done that before. I've always remembered everything that happened after I imagined I'd seen Tony. God, maybe I'm getting worse if I'm starting to have black-outs now, too. Then, again, maybe when I was talking to you I only imagined I was filling up the tub and it was overflowing. Stefan:Oh, the tub overflowed, all right. Come over here and look at this.(he motions her to look behind the tube where there's a big puddle of water and a bunch of soaking wet towels.) Bobbie:Stefan, if I did clean up the water on the floor, I would have never left those towels there. (then she notices something else) That's not where I keep my blow-dryer. (it's sitting on the edge of the tub plugged into an outlet) And I certainly wouldn't leave it plugged in like that, unless I was looking to electrocute, myself. Stefan:It would explain something. Bobbie:What? Stefan:How you remember your head being dunked under the water, but you waking up with your hair dry. Bobbie:Stefan, are you saying I dried my hair without even remembering it? Stefan:Not you, but maybe somebody else did it for you. Bobbie:Just what are you suggesting? Stefan:Let's get dressed. There's somewhere we need to go. Kat's Room, The Quartermaine Mansion: Tony(slips inside as Kat sleeps. He sits down on the bed, leans close to her and blows in her ear) Kat(purrs)Oh, Stefan, I like that. Do it, again. Tony:Not Nikolas? Oh, you're such a bad kitty. Kat(awakes with a start)You! What are you doing here? Tony:Be glad I'm not little Nicky. I don't think he'd be too pleased if he heard you moaning Stefan Cassadine's name. Kat:You didn't answer my question. What do you want? Why are you here? Tony:I'm not a greek, but I came bearing a gift and some news. Kat:You couldn't wait until morning? It's the middle of the night in case you didn't notice. All decent people are asleep and in their beds. Tony:Well, that's lets both of us out, doesn't it? Besides, the middle of the night is the safest time for me to journey outside. Since most people are asleep, they won't see me and tip off the authorities. Kat:I'm sure they wouldn't be sleeping peacefully if they knew you were out creeping around in the dark like some malevolent creature of the night. Tony:Cassadine never made it to the hospital party, tonight, did he? Kat:How do you know that. Tony:Because I know where he was. I can even show you what he was doing if you like. Kat:What are you talking about? Tony:It's my present to you.(he takes a video tape out of his overcoat and pops it into her vcr then turns it on)See, your ex in all his glory.(Stefan and Bobbie fill the screen as they hurriedly strip off each others clothes)As you can see he was too busy playing with Bobbie's boobies to come to some boring old hospital party. Can't say that I blame him. I know what you're dying to ask me? Yes, they are real. Kat:Shut if off! Tony:Oh, but you haven't seen the best part, yet. Kat(jumps out of bed and shuts it off)I said, SHUT IT OFF!!!(she removes the tape from the machine and starts pulling the tape out of the cassette. Tony:Spoilsport. You've still got it bad for him, don't you. All it took for me to get over Bobbie was to have her go upside my head with a fire poker. The hot lead to your backside should have done the trick for you. Kat:Was there another reason you came her aside from showing me that filth. Tony:I just wanted to keep you up to speed. I almost made Bobbie crack, tonight. It should just be another day or two befored we can set her up to kill Cassadine. Deep In The Woods: Bobbie(staring down at Tony's grave)Stefan, why have you brought me here. If it's to reassure me that Tony's dead, believe me, I know that. Stefan:No, that's not why I brought you here. Bobbie:Then why? Stefan:Barbara, I no longer think these visitations you've been experiencing from Jones are a product of you guilty conscience. Nor do I believe they're all in your mind. I think they're very real. Bobbie:What are you saying? Stefan:I think Jones is alive. Bobbie:Stefan, that's impossible. Tony's dead. We buried him, here, remember. Stefan:We buried him, but maybe he wasn't dead. I didn't feel a pulse, but maybe there was one and I missed it. We didn't bury him that deep. If he was only unconscious, he could of woken up and clawed his way out of this grave and made it back to Port Charles where he's been tormenting you ever since. Bobbie:But how can we know that for sure. Stefan:There's only one way. That's why we're here. We're going to dig him up. Bobbie:Stefan, we can't. What if you're wrong and he's still buried here. Stefan:It's a chance we have to take. It's the only way will know for sure if he's dead or not.(he digs the blade of the shovel he's carrying into the earth and begins to uncover the grave. After a few minutes he quits)Barbara, we didn't bury Jones this deep. If he was here, I should have uncovered him, by now. Bobbie:Maybe this isn't the right spot. Stefan:Barbara, you know it is. You do know what this means, don't you? Bobbie:(feels a chill of dread run up her spine)Yes, Tony's alive and he knows what we did to him. Stefan:Yes, and he has some plan, no doubt, to make us both pay for it. ............................................................ ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
