CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN

THE BEACH, SPOON ISLAND:

Roy(dropped his gun in the sand in horror)Bobbie! What have I done?

Stefan: (stood up and began brushing sand off of him)You can get up now, Barbara.

Bobbie(felt her back)I haven’t been shot?

Stefan: Of course not. Both guns were filled with blanks.

Bobbie: What! (she jumped to her feet)You miserable bastard! You set me up!

Stefan: Yes, and your reaction was very telling. Instead of leaping to save Mr. DeLucca, you rushed to save me.

Bobbie: Go to hell, Stefan. (then she stomped back up to the house)

Stefan(watched her go with a smirk on his lips)Even someone as thick as you, Mr. DeLucca, should be able to see Barbara is in love with me. She’s right where she wants to be. She doesn’t want to be rescued.

Roy: And what about you, Cassadine? Do you love her?

Stefan: (sighed)Yes, I suppose I must. Mr. DeLucca, I’m going to give you a little tip you’d be wise to take. Leave town while you still can. There’s nothing here for you. Your daughter is dead and Barbara is with me. Go somewhere and start over while you still can.

Roy: I’m not leaving until I make Jasper Jacks pay for killing my daughter.

Stefan: He didn’t kill your daughter. If you go to my mother’s yacht you’ll find his dead body there. He’s been dead for quite some time. He’s being used to pin the crimes on by my mother. My mother is the Sex Toy Stalker. She’s the one who murdered your daughter. She’s the one you want to kill, not Jasper Jacks.

Roy: Just what are you saying?

Stefan: My mother has been using you. She’s made a fool out of you.

Roy: I don’t believe you.

Stefan: Then go to my mother’s yacht and check out what she’s keeping in her freezer, then you’ll know everything I told you is true. (and with any luck you’ll kill that woman for me, and I won’t have to do it, myself, Stefan thought as he walked back up to the house leaving Roy behind on the beach to stew in his own juices.).

THE SAFE HOUSE:

Carly(watched Sonny playing on the floor with Michael as another pain jolted her. There was no doubt about it anymore. She was in labor. So far, she’d been able to manage to keep it from Sonny. She had no idea how he was going to react when she informed him that he was going to have to deliver this baby. She well-imagined that he wouldn’t take the news well.)

Sonny(suddenly looked up at her seeming to sense something was wrong)Are you all right.

Carly(breathed a sigh of relief when the contraction let up a bit)I’m just fine. Why do you ask.

Sonny: You look pale. You’re not having anymore pains, are you.

Carly: No, of course not. You worry too much. But I am feeling kind of tired. All this running around in my condition has kind of worn me out. I think I’ll go and lay down for awhile. Would you mind helping me stand up?

Sonny(jumped to his feet)Of course not. (as he helped Carly to her feet she was hit by another pain as her water broke.)Carly, what just happened?

Carly: My water just broke. I’m in labor.
