The Brownstone: Stefan(picking up Kat's body)Hurry up and pull that chair over the blood on the rug to cover it up. Bobbie:Stefan, what are you going to do with Katherine? Stefan:I'm going to hide her somewhere the police won't be able to find her just in case they decide to search the premises. Then once we get rid of them, we'll take her body and dump it somewhere.(he heads into the kitchen) Bobbie(is just pulling a chair over the blood stain when the police start knocking on the door) Garcia:This is the police, Ms. Spencer, open up. Bobbie:(calls as she stashes the gun under the chair)Coming. Taggert:Is everything all right in there, Ms. Spencer. Bobbie(rushes to the door)Everything's just fine. Why do you ask? And what are you doing here at this time of the night? Has something happened to Luke? Garcia(and Taggert taking in her Bride of Dracula costume)Not that we know of. With got a phone call that gun shots were heard coming from here. Bobbie:Gun shots? Stefan(as he returns)Why that's absolutely ridiculous. Isn't it, Barbara? Bobbie(looks at Stefan wondering what he's done with Katherine)Yes, quite. Taggert(eyeing Stefan in his Dracula costume)Just what are you doing here at this hour, Mr. Cassadine? And what's with the weird get-ups? Stefan:What do you think, Detective Taggert. Barbara and I are involved with each other. In fact, we were just on our way up to bed until you so rudely interrupted us. Taggert:You still haven't explained the costumes. Dracula and his bride, right? Just what are you two into, anyway? S&M? Bondage? Kinky role playing games? Tell me, Ms. Spencer, do you like for Mr. Cassadine to sneak in your bedroom in the middle of the night and bite you in the neck. Stefan:I should have known that someone of your ilk would put a vulgar meaning on Barbara and I being attired in costumes. For you information, Detective Taggert, we just came from the Barrett/Jacks engagement ball. It was a masked costumed ball, but I'm sure you're both unaware of that since I doubt ones of your ilk were even invited. Garcia:Actually, Mr. Cassadine, I was there as Ms. Ardanowski's escort for the evening. In fact, Ms. Spencer, I witnessed your little fight with Katherine Bell. Just what was that about, anyway? Stefan:I can assure you it was of no importance. Taggert:He wasn't asking you, he was asking Ms. Spencer. Bobbie:Stefan's right, it wasn't important. Katherine blamed me because Nikolas broke up with her, tonight. I'm afraid I didn't make it any secret that I didn't approve of her relationship with my nephew. Garcia:So it was Nikolas Cassadine you were warning her to stay away from or else you'd kill her? Bobbie:No, it wasn't Nikolas. Garcia:Then just who was it? Stefan:You said you received a call from someone claiming they heard gun shots coming from here? Just who was it who called you, anyway. Garcia:The caller didn't wish to indentify themself. Stefan:Then it was obviously just a prankster. For some reason people seem to derive some pleasure from sending the police out on wild goose chases. Garcia:That's entirely possible, but we still need to check the premises so we can fill out our report. Taggert:You don't mind if we come in and look around, do you, Ms. Spencer? Bobbie:Of course not. Feel free. (she and Stefan step back to let Taggert and Garcia enter the Brownstone) Nobody Leaves Manor: Brenda(as Jax enters)Jax, darling, where did you take off to? Jax:(looking at her coldly, but she doesn't notice)Were you worried about me, Brenda? Brenda:Of course, I was. You just disappeared from the party without one word to me. That just isn't like you. It wasn't a family emergency was it? There's nothing wrong with John or Lady Jane, is it? Jax:No, it was just an urgent business matter only I could handle, myself. I did try to tell you I had to leave, but I couldn't find you, anywhere. You just seemed to vanish from the party and none of the servants I asked seemed to know where you were. Brenda:One of the maids needed my help. Jax:Really? You know, the funniest thing happened at the party after you left. I'm sure if you'd have been there you'd have gotten a real quick out of it since Carly isn't your favorite person. It seems we had two Scarlett O'Haras at the party. You know, I could have sworn only Carly came dressed as Scarlett, tonight. I guess I must have been mistaken. Brenda:Are you sure there were really two. That the person you saw wasn't really Carly. Jax:I'm positive. Brenda:How can you be so sure. Everyone was wearing a mask. Jax:Well, you see, after I saw Sonny leave with one Scarlett O'Hara, I bumped into Carly who was looking for Sonny. I wonder who that other Scarlett was. I mean, I didn't tell Carly that Sonny left the party with another woman dressed exactly as she was and that she was all over him like a cheap suit. Oh, I didn't tell you about that part, did you. I mean this other Scarlett behaved like a real slut. The way she was mauling Corinthos, I thought she might just take him on the floor in front of everyone. So, you see why I couldn't mention it to Carly. Anwyay, it does make me wonder who she might have been. Probably one of the cheap floozies that used to fill Corinthos' bed when he ran that stripclub. Do you have any idea who she might have been, Brenda? Brenda:I haven't a clue. You know, Jax, it's getting pretty late. I don't know about you, but I'm beat. Why don't we both turn in and get some sleep. Jax:You go ahead and head on up. I've still got some work to do. Brenda:All right.(she stands on her tiptoes and kisses him on his cheek)Goodnight, Jax, darling. I'll see you in the morning. Jax(wipes her kiss off his cheek as he watches her walk up the spiral staircase)You lying bitch! Laugh while you can, Brenda, because I'm going to be the one who has the last laugh on you. The Brownstone: Garcia:(and Taggert as they head for the door)Well, Mr. Cassadine, it appears you were right. That call was the work of a prankster. Stefan:Just as I said it was. Had you listened to me you wouldn't have had to waste your time and ours. Taggert:Still, with you involved, Mr. Cassadine, we can't be too careful. I mean, Katherine Bell almost died twice after hanging around with you for awhile. Bobbie(closes the door behind them and breathes a sigh of relief)All right, Stefan, what did you do with Katherine. Stefan:I stashed her in your cubic freezer and covered her up with a bunch of Swanson frozen TV dinners. Bobbie:My God! Taggert and Garcia looked in there. Stefan:Yes, and all they saw was a freezer filled with frozen food. Bobbie:Stefan, did you hear what Taggert said about you and Katherine. If she turns up dead, they're going to think you had something to do with it. Tony couldn't have planned this better if he tried. Stefan:Come on, Barbara, let's go get Katherine. It'll be dawn soon. We have to dispose of Katherine's body while we still have the cover of darkness to conceal what we're doing. Bobbie(follows him into the utility room in the basement where the freezer is kept)I'm never going to be able to look at this freezer in the same way, again. Everytime I come down here to open it, I'm going to keep expecting to find Katherine's body inside.(Stefan opens the freezer and begins removing TV dinners. He suddenly becomes immobile and stares down inside the freezer in horror)Stefan, what is it? What's wrong? Stefan:She's gone! Bobbie:Stefan, what are you talking about? Stefan:I left Katherine's body right here and now it's gone. Look and see for yourself. Bobbie(does just that)How can this be possible. She was dead, wasn't she? Stefan:Of course she was dead. She was already beginning to turn cold.(then it hits him as he looks at Bobbie)It's Jones! He did it! He's taken Katherine's body!
