Helena's Yacht: Helena(is sitting at her desk writing when she hears someone enter behind her)Faison, it's about time that you got back. What took you so long to return. Did things go as planned with Michael. Nothing went wrong, did it? (She turns around and finds herself face-to-face with Sonny) Sonny:Why don't you ask Michael for yourself. Helena:Mr. Corinthos, what are you doing here? I don't recall inviting you. Sonny:Well, Granny Helena, I thought the time had come for you and I to have a long overdue chat. First off, if you're waiting for Faison to return, don't. He's cooling his heels in jail. He's been charged with treason. Helena:Really? Sonny:Really. You see, the Scorpios and I set him up. When he had me break into the WSB, both the Scorpios and Sean Donely were in on it and when I handed over the goods he sent me to retrieve, they arrested him. Helena:I had no idea Faison was into things like that. This is really all very fascinating, but why tell me? Sonny:Well, since you were the one behind him forcing me to break into the WSB and ordering me to photograph top secret goverment documents, I thought you'd want to know. Helena:Mr. Corinthos, I have no idea what you're talking about. Sonny:Save it. Carly's told me everything. I know all about your plots and schemes. That day you dropped by the Brownstone and tried to pay me off and threatened to take Michael away from me was all just a set-up, wasn't it. You did that so I'd be so scared I was going to lose my son, that I'd be desperate enough to agree to do that job Faison offered me, which enabled him to tighten the noose around my neck. Helena:You were ridiculously easy to manipulate, Mr. Corinthos. That hot-head of yours is your worst enemy and most easiest trait to exploit. Aside from that failing, you're everything I could want in a grandson. You're intelligent. You're hungry for power. Sonny:Is that why you helped Carly sandbag Brenda and I. Because you thought I was good grandson material. Helena:Among other reasons. (she begins walking around him, sizing him up)When I look at you I see the raw materials that I could use to mold you into a true Cassadine. Not to mention you're a fine piece of male flesh. Sonny:Excuse me! Helena(stood close to him)If you were a horse, you'd be a blooded stallion. (she suddenly grips his chin and pulls open his mouth. Sonny is so shocked by her action he just stands there without moving)Nice teeth. (she runs a hand down his thigh)Good flanks. Sonny(finally snaps out of his stupor and slaps her hands away from him)What are you going to do next. Unzip my fly and check out how large my penis is. Maybe you could take out a yardstick and measure it to see if it's long enough for you. Helena(smirks)A rather intriguing suggestion, but entirely unnecessary, I assure you. It's obvious by looking at you, you know how to give a woman a good ride. And you've more than proven that you're extremely fertile. (she chuckles)Calm yourself, Mr. Corinthos. I was merely making a point. (she caresses his cheek)Although, I must admite you're quite magnificent when you get angry. Tell me, do those black eyes of yours smolder like that in the heat of passion, as well. Sonny(shoves her hand away from his face)You'll never know. Look, this is getting us nowhere and this isn't what I came here for. Helena:Then why did you come. Sonny:The Scorpios think, make that hope, that to save himself from a death sentence, Faison will give them enough evidence against you to place you under arrest. I don't happen to share that belief and after what Carly's told me, I just want you gone from our lives. I have more experience from the criminal end of things than the Scorpios do. Even if they're right about Faison, I'm sure a resourceful woman such as yourself won't have any trouble finding someway out of any criminal charges that might get lodged against you. God knows I haven't in the past. And as I said, I want you out of Carly's life. I want you out of my life. And I want you out of Port Charles. So, I'm willing to make it more than worth your while to leave. Helena:(chuckles)Are you going to pay me off to go away? Too bad you weren't my son, instead of Stefan. You're so much like me, it's scary. Sonny:I'm willing to give you the Cassadine greek compound not to mention a large sum of money, as well as control of all the Cassadine businesses based in Greece, in exchange for you leaving Port Charles for good. That should keep you busy in your dotage, don't you think. Helena:How generous of you. Sonny:Yes, it is. If your son was named trustee, he wouldn't give you squat. Of course, he's not as desperate to get you out of his life, the way I am to get you out of mine. However, if you ever return, I will take away all that I've just given you. So, do we have a deal? Helena:When would you want me to leave. Sonny:Yesterday. Helena:You know, everything that I did, I ending up doing you a favor Getting that twit out of your life was the best thing to ever happen to you, though I'll doubt you'll ever admit that. Just look at yourself. You have more power in the palm of your hands than you ever did when you were head of that silly little mob of yours. And you wouldn't have it, if Brenda Barrett were still in your life. You owe it all to me. Sonny:Without your interference, Brenda and I would have been happy together. It's your fault Brenda and my child are dead. Helena:I was wondering if you'd figured out the truth about the explosion or not. You'd like to kill me for that, wouldn't you? It's just too bad you don't have the stomach for it and that it's not in your basic nature to cold-bloodedly kill someone. You can only kill someone when they're threatening your life or the life of someone you care about. Joe Scully was about to kill your father when you shot and killed him. And Hernando Rivera was about to kill Brenda Barrett when you shot and killed him. But, when you found out Hernando Rivera was behind the death of your wife and unborn child, you gave him the gun to kill himself because you didn't have it in you to do it, yourself. And it was the same story with Harry Silver. You let him go when you found out he'd set you up to be killed, eventhough you should have killed him for that. And, now, you're exhiling me to Greece because you know if you put a gun in my hand expecting me to kill myself, I'll end up turning it on you, instead. You know, dear, Michael, if you have any hopes of living to see your son reach majority and taking over as trustee of the Cassadine estate from you, you'd better get rid of that weak stomach of yours and you abhorrence for killing, because one day that's going to end up costing you your life. You see, Michael, you're in the big leagues now. If you thought those criminals you dealt with in the mob were amoral, well, they're choir boys considered to the Cassadines. Sonny:I want you gone by tomorrow.(he heads for the door) Helena(calls after him)She wouldn't have made you happy, you know. (Sonny turns to look at her as he's about to go out the door)You're just like my husband, Mikkos. Mikkos thought his precious Kristen would have made him happy, but she wouldn't have in the long run anymore than Brenda Barrett would make you happy. She would have held you back from your true destiny. Made you become something you're not. Because of me, you're now with the person whose right for you. And you owe it all to me. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web. Visit http://www.msn.com
