C&C Management: Ned(enters)Grandfather told me you and Sonny were going to rent an office, here. Lois:Mr. Q suggested it when he learned I was looking for an office to rent. I hope you don't mind. Who would have ever thought Sonny and I would be renting an office together in the ELQ Building, huh? Ned:I had a very interesting chat with Brenda, earlier. For some reason she got the impression that she walked in on us in bed together. Lois:I never told Brenda it was you. Ned:Who was it, then? Lois:I'd like to keep his identity a secret for the moment. Ater you jealous? Ned:A bit. I've moved on with my life and I love Alexis, but that doesn't mean that I still don't love you anda that the thought of you being with another man doesn't bother me. Lois:I know what you mean. When I think of you and Alexis together I get a twinge of jealousy, myself. I know we have fundamental differences that make it impossible for us to be together, but that doesn't mean I'm not always going to love you, either. You're the father of my child and whenever I look at Brooke I see living proof of the love we felt for each other and still do. Ned:Yeah, we did one thing right, didn't we. We made Brooke. Jax's Penthouse: Jerry(watching Jax pace the floor)If you don't sit down, you're going to wear a hole in the floor. Jax:I can't believe this is starting up, again. I thought when Sonny left Brenda standing at the altar, things were finally finished between them. Jerry;So, do I take it you've finally made your choice between Brenda and V. That you've decided Brenda is the one you want, after all. Jax:I still want V, I just can't stand the thought of Corinthos with Brender.(Jerry starts laughing)What's so funny. Jerry;You are, little brother. You don't want Brenda for Brenda. You want Brenda to keep Sonny from having her. Jax:That's ridiculous. Jerry:Oh, really. I know you. You can't stand losing. I bet it really burned you that Brenda dumped you for Sonny. This whole thing has become about your ego. Your need for Brenda to pick you over Sonny. So you'll probably compete with Sonny for Brenda pulling out all the stops to win, but in the end you'll end up losing. Because while you're fighting for Brenda, V will be slipping out of your grasp, forever. Jax:You think I should forget about Brenda and get together with V, don't you? Jerry:I think she'll make you happy in a way Brenda never has. And I can't believe how bloody stupid you are not to see the perfect solution to your problem standing right before you. Jax:What are you talking about. Jerry:Sonny and Brenda. If they get back together, then you'll be free to be with V. Room in the Port Charles Hotel: Moreno(and Carla have just finished making love)Do how goes everything on the Morgan front? Carla:I made a start, last night. I got the Scorpio girl to approach Morgan and try to persuade him to give up the mob and I've convinced her to keep trying. Now all I have to do is figure out a way to show Morgan's men that Miss Scorpio impairs his ability to be an effective leader the way Brenda Barrett did with Sonny. Moreno:Any ideas how you're going to do it. Carla:I think Carly Roberts could be of some help. Well, actually, not Carly but her relationship with Morgan. If I were to make Miss Scorpio believe Carly was trying to seduce Morgan into bd, it might make Miss Scorpio more desperate to get Morgan out of the mob and desperate people do desperate things. Moreno:Things desperate enough to make Morgan's men lose faith in his ability to lead them. Carla:Exactly. Moreno:Oh, I found out something interesting for you on the Jax front. Seems Mr. Jacks is having an affair with his assistant, V Ardanowski. Carla:Oh, really. You wouldn't have pictures of them together by any chance. Moreno:No, why? Carla:Because as dense as Brenda Barrett is, explicit pictures of her husband and his mistress might be the only way she would get it. Moreno:My, Carla, sounds like you don't like Miss Barrett. Carla:I don't. Before I was just going to use her to get back at Sonny and Lois, now it's personal. Moreno:Well, you want pictures of Mr. Jacks and Miss Ardanowski, then pictures you shall have. Carla:Good. C&C Management, ELQ Building: Brenda(enters)Hi, Lo.(she looks around the office)This place is something else. Lois:Isn't it, though. What can I do for you. Brenda:Remember how you wanted to help me reactivate my modeling career? Lois:Yeah, I remember but you said you wanted to be a full time wife to Jax. Have you changed your mind. Brenda:Yeah, I have. I've been thinking that I need a life outside of Jax. That I shouldn't build my whole life around one person. Lois:Bren, that's great. I'm sure once it's known that you're back and available for work, so many offers are going to be pouring in you won't be able to handle them all. Brenda:That's great, Lo. There's just one thing. I'd like Sonny to handle my career, if you don't mind. Lois:(suspiciously)Sonny? Why? Brenda:Lo, Sonny and I have to live in the same town. You're my best friend and he's your business partner. I think by Sonny handling my career and us working together, it'll enable us to put our past behind us. Kat's Office, Deception: Sonny(going through the files)I think I may have found something useful. Kat:What? Sonny:I see here your chemists have invented a cologne for men. Why haven't you marketed it, yet? Kat:I've just been so busy with my relationship with Stefan that I've kept putting off marketing it. I haven't even been able to come up with the right name for it, yet. I want a man who wears it to believe when he wears it he's irresistable to women. Sonny:You mean you want people to believe your selling bottled sex. That you dav some of this stuff on and you'll be able to score(he snaps his fingers)just like that. Kat;I wouldn't have put it quite like that, but that's the general idea. Only I can't come up with the perfect name that would express that. Sonny:Sin. Kat:Sin? Sonny:Yeah, sin is sexy. It's forbidden. It turns you on. Women find sin sexy. Take Brenda for instance. She had the choice between getting involved with sinful me or saintly Jason and we all know who she picked. You call the new cologne Sin and you'll have sure moneymaker on your hands. Kat(answers the ringing phone)Hello, Nikolas. What did you say! I'll be right there. Sonny:What is it? Kat:Bobbie has just moved back into Wyndemere.(she grabs her purse and heads for the door)And I'm gong to put a stop to it, right this minute. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
