Sonny and Lois' Penthouse: Lois(as Sonny enters)You were gone a long time driving Brenda home. Sonny:That's because she wanted to have a little chat with me. Lois:(excitedly)About you and I? Then it worked. Brenda got it that there's something romantic going on between us. Sonny:(flops on the chair)Oh, she got it, all right, but not in the way you hoped. Lois:What is that supposed to mean? Sonny:When you were plotting out your brilliant stragedy you failed to take one thing into consideration. The fact Brenda has a tendency to make everything about herself. You see, Brenda, thinks I'm getting involved with you because I can't have her. Lois:What! Sonny:Oh, wait, it gets better. From the little conversation we had I got the impression Brenda thinks everything I do is because of Brenda. I tried to tell her I had feelings for you when we were kids that I never acted on, but I don't think that even registered with her. She accused me of marrying Carla because of her. Thank god she doesn't know I left her at the altar to protect her. If she did, she'd start believing I eat, sleep and dream Brenda. Lois:So just what are you saying, Sonny? Sonny:That you can't break it to Brenda gently. You're going to have to hit her in the face with it for her to get it and maybe even then she won't. Brenda has a tendency to believe only what she wants to believe. And for your sake maybe it's for the best she only thinks I'm with you on the rebound. I know you want to remain friends with her after the truth comes out, and as long as she thinks your second best to her you'll be able to remain friends. I know Brenda, Cerullo, the minute she realizes I actually prefer you to her she's going to start considering you her enemy. The Neighboring Penthouse: Carla(watches Sonny and Lois on a monitor)You know Mikey if the little superbimbo finds out why you really left her standing at the altar, she's really going to think you still have a thing for her. I wonder how I can arrange for her to find out? Franco(enters)It's done. Carla:You stold the shipment and left something of Dr. Jones' behind? Franco:Yes, but even if Morgan realizes that it's Jones' cuff-link that's been left behind, do you really think he'll believe a doctor heisted his shipment off the docks. Carla:Morgan is a brain damaged idiot. He doesn't think. He just acts. Besides Jones has a good reason to want to cause Morgan trouble. He was a brilliant neurosurgeon until Morgan broke his hand. Even an idiot like Morgan can understand Jones wanting pay-back. Jason's Penthouse: Benny(enters)Jason, I've got some bad news for you. Jason:What is it? Benny:Someone heisted our shipment off the docks. Jason:What! Was it Moreno? Do you have any idea who was behind it. What happened? Benny:The man who was guarding the shipment was attacked from behind. When he woke up, he found the shipment gone and this laying next to him on the ground.(he hands Jason a cuff link) Jason(examines it)A cuff link? Benny:We figure whoever attacked our man was wearing it and dropped it as he was knocking our man out. If we can find out who it belongs to we can find out who are thief is. Jason:Who wears a cuff link when they heist a shipment. Benny:Jason, this thing has amatuer written all over it. Carly(coming down the stairs)Jason, what are you doing with Tony's cuff-link? Jason:(turns to her)Tony as in Jones? How do you know it's his. A cuff link is a cuff link. Carly:Not in this case. I had them especially made for him. See, they're in the shape of little black doctor bags and if you turn that cuff link ovear you'll see Tony's initials engraved there. Jason(turns over the cuff link and sees T.C.) Carly:Jason, you didn't answer me. How did you get Tony's cuff link? Jason:It was found next to one of my men who'd been knocked out while my shipment was stolen. Carly:Jason, you're not suggesting Tony did it, are you?(he remains silent and stone-faced)Why would he? He's a doctor. Jason:He's also a psycho whose all used up. He blames me for messing up his hand so he can't perform surgery anymore. He did it to pay me back for ruining his surgical career and because I have Michael and he doesn't. Carly:What are you going to do to him? Jason:I'm going to deal with him like I should have a long time ago. Jax's Penthouse: Brenda(as Jerry slams into the apartment)Do you mind? I'm trying to think, here. Jerry:Oh, please, forgive me. I realize how difficult a task that is for you.(he goes over to the phone and calls the airport)I need to charter a plane to take me to the Isle of San Monique. What do you mean I can't. What! I need clearance from the owner of the island to land because it's a privately owned island? Damn!(he slams down the phone) Brenda:What's wrong? Jerry:Nothing that would concern you.(the doorbell rings and he answers it)Yes? Messenger:Package for Jerry Jacks. Jerry:That's me.(he takes it)Thanks.(he opens it. Inside is a videotape. He pops it into the vcr) Stefan(comes on screen)By now, Mr. Jacks, you must be aware Barbara and I our on our way to the Isle of San Monique and you must be also aware you can't charter a plane to follow us there because I'll never give you permission to land. Mr. Jacks, give up. Don't try to find an alternative route to the island because you'll never be able to step foot on the island without me being aware of it. You see, I have the outer parameters of the island wired with alarms to alert me of any intruders, so if you try to arrive on the island by sea, I'll know it within seconds and promptly have you shown off the island and escorted back to the mainland. Face it, Mr. Jacks, Barbara and I will be spending the next two weeks together and there's nothing you can do to stop it. So save yourself the trouble and don't even try. Jerry:We'll see about that you bloody Cassadine. Isle of San Monique: Bobbie:Stefan, it wasn't necessary for you to carry my bags up from the plane. Stefan:My mother taught me to be a gentleman. Bobbie:That's not the only thing your mother taught you to be.(she stops in her tracks when the mainhouse comes into view)This doesn't look anything like a native village to me.(then she hears the jet flying overhead and turns to Stefan)Was that your plane? Stefan:(smirking)Yes, it was. It'll be back for us in two weeks. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
