Sleepyhollow Inn: Bobbie:Stefan! How did you find out I was here? Stefan:Don't you know, Barbara, I know everything you do. Bobbie:You're having me followed, aren't you? Did you also bug the bed? Were you listening as Jerry and I made love? Stefan:Maybe I'm like that Brenda Barrett creature. I could feel you having sex. Bobbie:Could you also feel when Jerry left the room and know the exact right moment to call. Stefan:Barbara, have you heard the news? Bobbie:What news? Stefan:Turn on the TV. It's the top story on the news, tonight. Bobbie(picks up the remote control from the nightstand and turns on the TV) News Anchorman(as a clip of Carly being lead into the police station in handcuffs by Taggert plays on the screen)This was the scene just a few minutes ago outside the PCPD when mob boss Jason Morgan's mistress, Carly Roberts, was arrested for making an attempt on his wife, Carla Solieto, as she lays in a hospital bed at General Hospital, recovering from a gunshot wound by an unknown assailant. Speculation is running high that Ms. Roberts attempt to smother Ms. Solieto with a pillow is proof she's the one behind Ms. Solieto's shooting. If the police are able to break Ms. Roberts alibi, it's believed she'll be charged with the crime of shooting Ms. Solieto. Bobbie(turns off the TV)You did this, didn't you? Stefan:I told you your daughter ws behind Ms. Solieto's shooting, but you said I was making it all up. Now she tried to make another attempt on Ms. Solieto's life, tonight. What do you think will happen if I bring forward my witness to break her alibi for the night Carla Solieto was shot? Bobbie:What do you want? Stefan:I already told you. I want a resumption of our marriage in every term of the word. And in exchange, I'll get you daughter out of her current legal mess. Do we have a deal? Jerry(comes out of the bathroom)I've got the shower adjusted to the perfect temperature. Now all that's left is for me to carry you in there.(he notices her on the phone)Whose on the phone, Red? Stefan(hisses in Bobbie's ear)Get rid of him, Barbara. We're not finished with our conversation, yet. And if you hang up on me, Ms. Roberts will live to regret it. Bobbie:I thought I'd call Lucas and check up on him. I'll be right in in a minute. Jerry:Okay, just hurry before I start to get lonely(he blows her a kiss as he enters the bathroom) Bobbie:All right, Jerry's gone. Stefan:This is what I want you to do. I'll be up at the Sleepyhollow Inn at 2 a.m., tonight, to pick you up. You will sneak out of your room after Mr. Jacks has fallen asleep. You will leave him a note explaining thata it's over between the two of you and you wish never to see him, again. That you've decided to return to me and make our marriage work. Nowhere in the note will you even hint that you were coerced into this action. Do I make myself clear. Bobbie:I haven't even agreed to this, yet. Stefan:Oh, you will. You won't let your daughter go to prison for giving Carla Solieto what she had coming even if it means you have to come back to me. Mother love is something wonderful to behold. A mother is willing to make any sacrifice for her daughter. She's even willing to make a deal with the devil to save her child. Interrogation Room, PCPD: Garcia(leaning in Carly's face)Come on, Ms. Roberts, admit it. You're the one who shot Carla Solieto, aren't you. Carly:No, that's not true. Taggert:(doing likewise)Carla told you she had Morgan's bun in the oven, didn't she? and you decided she had to go. Carly:No! Garcia:You couldn't allow Carly's child to be born. You couldn't allow her child to usurp yours with Morgan, so you shot her. Carly:No, that's not true. Taggert:Come on, Ms. Roberts, confess! Garcia:Confess! Carly:No! No! No! I didn't do it. Taggert:All right, Ms. Roberts, tell us again what you were doing when both attempts were being made on Carla Solieto's life. Jax's Penthouse: Jax(and Faison enter)V, are you here? V(comes out of the kitchen eating a sandwich)Jax, I'm glad you're back. Jax:V, I want you to meet P.K. Sinclair. V:I know you. Jax, don't you remember meeting him, before. He was at the airport with me when you stopped me from leaving town. But you're name wasn't P.K. Sinclair. You told me your name was Cesar Faison. Faison:You're quite astute, not to mention having a good memory for details. Actually, my name is both. Cesar Faison is my real name and P.K. Sinclair is my pen-name. I'm an author, you see. Perhaps you've read my books. My latest one was the Crystalline Conspiracy. V:As a matter of fact, I have. The heroine in all your books is always a character named Davnee. Didn't you say when I saw you last you were heading to New York. Why are you still here? Jax:Venus! If you don't stop quesitioning Mr. Faison like that he's going to think you're suspicious of him. Faison:That's all right, Mr. Jacks. I appreciate an inquisitive mind. As a matter of fact, I did go to New York. To meet my publisher. Now I'm back for good. In fact, I just moved into the apartment next door to yours. V:Mr. Johnson's apartment! Are you aware he was murdered there? Faison:Yes, the manager thought I should know before moving in. V:And you don't mind? A lot of people wouldn't want to live in a place where someone was murdered just recently. Faison:Things like that don't bother me. In fact, it may enhance my writing ability. The atmosphere, you know, may give me inspriation. Jax:V, Mr. Faison and I got to talking down in the bar about you having too much time on your hands and we came up with the perfect solution for it. You see, Mr. Sinclair, I mean, Mr. Faison, needs a research assistant for the next book he's writing and I thought you'd be the perfect person to fill the job. V:Jax, I don't have too much time on my hands. I'm just trying to find out who killed Mr. Johnson since I don't believe the police are trying to. Jax:V, you didn't even know him. Why risk your life for a stranger. You said you want a life of your own outside of me. If you agree to work for Mr. Faison, you'll have what you say you want. Sleepyhollow Inn: Bobbie(finishes dressing as Jerry remains sleeping in bed. She leaves the note she wrote him next to his pillow and kisses him on the forehead)Goodbye, Jerry.(she picks up her suitcase and silently leaves the room. Then makes her way quietly out of the inn. Outside Stefan is waiting for her inside his limousine) Stefan(smirks as Bobbie gets into the back of the limo with him and glares at him)Welcome home, Barbara.(then he signals his driver to take them back to Port Charles) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
