CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN

FOYER, WYNDEMERE:

Bobbie(turned to Stefan)Stefan, you can’t do this.

Stefan: There isn’t anything I can’t not do. Are you ready, DeLucca?

Bobbie: Roy, I’m begging you. If I even meant anything to you at all, don’t do this.

Roy: It’s too late, Bobbie. I won’t back out of this and allow him to call me a coward.

Bobbie: You two are fighting over nothing.

Stefan: Barbara, I wouldn’t call you nothing.

Bobbie: You don’t love me, and you never did. When you were courting me you were obsessed with Laura. When we were married you were obsessed with Katherine Bell. All I’ve ever been to you was a good time in bed, so why are you doing this? (she turned to Roy)This is all just a power play for him. He wants me to choose him over you, and he’ll kill you to do it. Roy, while there’s still time, just walk out that door and never look back.

Roy: I’m not going to leave you with this degenerate. You forget I’m pretty good with a gun, Bobbie. What would a popinjay like him know about guns. If anyone is going to die, it’s going to be him. And once he’s dead, you’ll finally be free of him.

Stefan; Touche, Mr. Delucca. Shall we get down to it. I thought the beach would be as good a place as any.(Bobbie watched in mounting panic as both men walked out the door together.)

Bobbie: My god, what am I going to do? How am I going to stop this?

THE SAFE HOUSE:

Sonny(hung up the phone and looked at Carly)Jason is going to get the birth certificates of the people we found in the cemetery, and he’s found the bodies we need. I told him where I left my car. He’s going to put the bodies in the car, then send it over the cliffm and by nightfall everyone we know will think we’re dead.

Carly: Then what do we do after that?

Sonny: We sit here and wait until Jason delivers our new ID to us, then we start our new lives.

Carly:(smiled at him)This is going to work, baby. I can feel it.(then she leaned over to kiss him, but as she did she felt a horrible pain in her abdomen.)

Sonny: Carly, what is it?

Carly: (tried to reassure him)I’m sure it was nothing. Probably the baby just kicking me.

Sonny: Are you sure?

Carly(lied)I’m sure. (she prayed it was just the baby kicking and not what she suspected it might be. A contraction. Of all the times for her to go in labor, this wasn’t it.)

THE BEACH, SPOON ISLAND:

Bobbie(stood watching as Roy and Stefan stood back-to-back with the barrel of their guns raised in the air. It was a scene out of time that could have been taking place centuries ago. Bobbie still had no idea how she was going to stop this. As she looked at both Stefan and Roy standing there, she tried to analyze how she felt about both men. She didn’t love Roy, anymore. When Roy had returned from the dead, it was like she’d been given a second chance with him. Bobbie had spent years wondering what would have happened with them if Roy hadn’t died. Would they have lived a long and happy life together or would what they felt for each other have died a natural death over time. What she didn’t realize then, but did now, was that both she and Roy changed. They were no longer the people they were 20 years ago. They’d tried to recapture what they had, but since they were no longer the people they once were, it wasn’t possible to get back what they lost. As for Stefan, just what did she feel for him. She had been in love with him once, but when she had learned the truth about him it had died. Or had it? There was something between them and it was more than sex. Roy and Stefan began to pace away from each other. At the tenth pace they would turn around, face each other and fire. With each step they took away from each other the tension grew in Bobbie until she was at the point of leaping out of her skin when they reached the tenth pace. When they turned to face each other and fired their guns, Bobbie moved on instinct and moved to push Stefan out of the way just as Roy fired his gun.)
