Jake's Pool Hall: Faison(as Sonny sits down at his table)You're right on time, Mr. Corinthos. I like that in an employee. Sonny:Before I agree to this, I want half of the money up front. Faison:(hands him an envelope)I figured you might. Go ahead and count it. It's all there. Sonny:I'll trust you. Do you have a picture of this rock you want me to steal. I wouldn't want to steal the wrong one. Faison:(hands him a poloroid of the sapphire)Here it is. Sonny:When would you like me to pull the heist. Faison:Tomorrow night. Sonny:And you're sure Mrs. Cassadine has this rock on her yacht? Faison:Postive. How do you intend to lure her off her boat so you can sneak on and steal the sapphire from her. Sonny:Actually, Mrs. Cassadine has unknowingly given me the perfect way to do it. I'll be in touch with your as soon as I have your rock. Make sure you have the other $50,000 waiting for me.(Faison watches as Sonny exits the pool hall, then he takes out his phone and dials Helena) Helena's Yacht: Helena(hangs up the phone and looks at Carly)That was a man in my employ. He just met with Michael. They've arranged for Sonny to break into my yacht, tomorrow night. You know what you have to do. Carly:I have to keep an eye on Sonny and when he leaves the Brownstone, I'm to follow him. When he's in the process of stealing the sapphire from you, I'm to arrive and confront him about what he's doing. Helena:Then I'll arrive and you'll prevent him from being discovered. You'll even help him escape with the sapphire. Carly:I really don't see how this is going to make Sonny and I partner's in crime. Helena:You will in time, my dear. But all you need to now for right now is that you and Michael will share a secret together. A secret he won't want Brenda Barrett finding out about. You'll have yet another tie to bind you and Michael together. Port Charles Grille: Bobbie(as she sits down at Anna's table)I couldn't believe it when I got your phone call. You're really alive. Anna:And in the flesh. (she looks at Jagger whose standing at the bar watching them)Whose the hunk with the muscles. Bobbie:My bodyguard. Anna;You're what! My, but you have come up in the world, haven't you. Bobbie:Since you called me at Wyndemere that must mean you know about Stefan and me. Anna:Yes, and I must say it boggles the mind. A Spencer and a Cassadine being in love. So spill. Why the bodyguard. Is it that dangerous to be involved with a Cassadine. Bobbie:No, something happened a few days ago. Someone tried to run me down. Stefan thinks Helena was behind it. Apparently, Mother Cassadine isn't pleased about her baby boy planning to marry a Spencer. Which doesn't make any sense since Helena has never acted like she could give a squat about Stefan. Anyway, to put Stefan's mind at ease, I agreed to the bodyguard. Enough about me. Why have you let everyone think you've been dead all these years and what brings you back after all this time. Anna;Faison. Robert and I felt the only way Robin could have anything approaching a normal life was if we were out of it. Faison wasn't going to leave us alone. He'd keep coming back making our lives miserable. And the fact we had to let everyone believe we were dead seemed to appease Faison and he finally left Robert and I alone. But now the cease fire is over and we're back. Bobbie:You still haven't told me why you're back. Anna:It's a pretty convoluted story. It involves the Cassadines. Which is where you come in. I need your help, Bobbie. I need you to help me go undercover in Wyndemere. Bobbie:Why? Anna, I know we go way back, but if you're asking me to help you harm Stefan in any way, I can't do it. Anna:Bobbie, the reason Robert and I are back is because we learned Robin isn't really our daughter. The Cassadines stole our real child from us. Bobbie, Nikolas Cassadine is our real child and Robin is really Laura Spencer's child. They needed a male heir, so they stole my son from me and passed him off as Laura's son. Bobbie:My god, I can't believe this. Anna:Neither can I, but it's true. Robert and I have got to tell Robin and Nikolas the truth. Bobbie:My god, Stefan could be Robin's father. Anna:Exactly. Now do you see why I need to infiltrate Spoon Island. Before Stefan Cassadine finds out he might be Robin's father, I need to find out what kind of man he is and if he knew anything about the baby switch. Bobbie:Anna, I'm sure Stefan knew nothing about this. Anna:If you really believe that, then you have nothing to fear in helping me. What harm could I do going undercover at Wyndemere if Stefan Cassadine has nothing to hide. Veronica's Office, Deception: Delivery Man:(knocks and enters)Ms. Roberta Anderson? Veronica:Yes, that's me. Delivery Man:Flowers for you.(he hands her one dozen long-stemmed red roses then he leaves) Veronica:(reads the card enclosed)Roberta, these american beauties pale in comparison to you, the true american beauty. Love, Stefan. Oh, Stefan. Stefan(storms in)Roberta, why weren't you at Brenda's photo shoot. I thought we agreed you'd be working with her so we could both get to know her so we could tell her we're her real parents as soon as possible. Veronica:Stefan, I'm just not ready for that, yet. Besides, won't we be throwing too much at her too soon. I really think it would be for the best if you got to know Brenda first, then revealed to her that you're her father. Then once she gets used to that, then we can spring me on her. Stefan:Maybe you're right. All right, we'll do things your way, for now.(he looks at his watch)I've really got to go. I invited Brenda to lunch to celebrate her first successful photo shoot working for me. I was going to ask you to come along with us, but I guess it'll just have to be the two of us. I'll see you later.(he exits) Veronica:(calls to his departing back)Oh, Stefan, thank you for the flowers. (he doesn't hear her. She cradles them in her arms and inhales, deeply)I just love roses.
