Luke's Club: Jason(as Sonny enters)Sonny, what are you doing here? Sonny:Jason, we need to talk. Jason:About what? Sonny:The mob. Jason:What about it. Sonny(takes a seat)I was just wondering if you've ever regretted the decision you made to takeover the mob. Jason:Sonny, what's this all about? Sonny:What if someone was willing to take over the mob for you the way you did for me. You could have a life with Robin. I know you don't think you can make it outside of the mob. I thought the same thing, myself. But if I can do it, so can you. I'll even help you. Maybe we could even go into business together? Jason:What's going on, Sonny? Sonny:Luke's planning to take over the mob from you. Jason:He won't succeed. Sonny, I've never regretted the choice I made. This is the life I want. I've fought off every enemy whose tried to take what's mine away from me and I'll do the same thing with Luke. No one is going to take away from me what's mine. Sonny:Jason, Luke may be the one person you can't beat. I've never seen Luke like this before. He's out of control. He's capable of anything. Finding out Laura slept with Stefan and that the Cassadine kid could be his has made something inside him snap. He's dangerous. He's convinced he needs a powerbase to destroy Cassadine and I think he'll do whatever he has to do, including kill you, to get it. Jason:And I'll do whatever I have to do, including killing Luke, to keep what's mine. Considering the circumstances, I think it's time you take you partnership in the club, back. Tony's Office: Luke(as Tony enters)Well? Tony:You DNA is a match for Nikolas. He's your son. Luke:He can't be. Tony:He is. I double-checked the results. Nikolas Cassadine is your son. Luke(turns to Helena)Why would you do something like this? Why would you want to raise a Spencere as a Cassadine? Helena:Why for this moment, of course, Luke, dahling. We Cassadines are nothing if not patient. We plan ahead years in advance for the day of reckoning. Had Stavros lived, we had great plans to torture Stefan for his betrayal before finally revealing to him you were Nikolas' true father. But in a way, perhaps everything has worked out for the best. Your first born was raised as a Cassadine. Had Laura been honest with you, perhaps you could have figured out Nikolas was actually your son and saved him from being raised as a Cassadine. And just think of how you've treated Nikolas since he came to this town. You even planted drugs on your own son to try and get him deported. I'd say, Luke, dahling, this was the ultimate revenge on you. Wyndemere: Miranda(as Sonny enters their bedroom)How did it go? Sonny:About as well as I expected. Jason has no intention of handing over his power to Luke and Luke's determined to take it at whatever cost. If something isn't done one or both of them is going to wind up dead. Miranda:(Joins Sonny on the bed.)What more can you do. You tried to get Jason to step aside for Luke. Whatever happens after that isn't your fault. Sonny:Isn't it. Who got Jason involved with the mob in the first place. Who groomed him to take over the mob so I could escape. Miranda;Sonny, you gave him a choice and he chose the mob. You never lied to him. He chose what he wanted. Sonny:Yes, but what if I'd never gotten him involved in the first place. What if I'd found something else, a legitimate business, for him to get involved in. Miranda:You've told me what Jason was like when you first met him. He was taking all sorts of risks with his life. Trainsurfing. Whatever. It was you getting him involved with the mob that made him stop. In effect, you saved his life. It's very possible if you hadn't got him involved with the mob, he'd be dead right now. Sonny:He could still end up dead if I don't do something to stop this mob war Luke's planning to start. Miranda:Like what? Sonny:Jason has his mind made up. He's going to hang on to his position of power no matter what he has to do to keep it. But there's someone who might be able to get through to Luke. I'm going to call Laura. The Dock of Spoon Island: Yanni(on his cell phone)Madame, I have Mrs. Cassadine in my sights. She's standing on the dock. Helena:(on the roof looking through her telescope)Very good. Stefan is on his way down towards you. When he's close enough, I'll give you the signal.(she tracks Stefan's progress through the telescope)Do it now, Yanni. Yanni(creeps up behind Bobbie and shoves here off the pier into the water) Stefan(hears Bobbie scream and comes running)Barbara! Bobbie:Stefan, help me! Stefan(runs to the edge of the dock and pulls Bobbie out of the water)Barbara, what happened? Bobbie:(coughing)I don't know. One minute I was standing on the docks and the next I was in the water. Stefan:Barbara, if I hadn't come when I did you could have drowned.(they stare deeply into each others eyes for a long moment, then Stefan yanks Bobbie into his arms and begins kissing her) Helena(watches through her telescope as Stefan picks Bobbie up in his arms and carries her up towards the house, still kissing her passinately.)Well, well, I think it's time I had a little chat with Katherine Bell while there's still time left. Sonny and Miranda's Bedroom: Sonny:Laura, it's Sonny. Laura:Hello, Sonny, is something wrong? Sonny:It's Luke. He knows about you and Stefan Cassadine. Laura, he's out of control. You need to come home and get through to him. Laura:How did he find out? Sonny:Helena Cassadine told him. She had a video tape of you and Stefan making love and she gave it to him. Laura:Helena! Sonny:Helena's in Port Charles. Laura:I'll be there as soon as I can. Katherine's Penthouse: Kat(opens the door to Helena)Can I help you? Helena:I'm Helena Cassadine and I think we need to talk. Kat:I don't think so. Stefan told me all about you and I want nothing to do with you.(she slams the door in Helena's face) Helena(yells through the door)Not even if I can tell you the real reason Stefan broke up with you? Kat(opens the door)Come in. But you can only stay a few minutes. Helena:That's all it will take to say what I've come to say. Kat:You know why Stefan really broke-up with me? Helena:(looks around in disdain)It's a long and complicated story I don't wish to go into. To cut a long story short, Stefan was lead to believe you were his half-sister Natasha. Kat:That's ridiculous. Why would Stefan think that. Helena:Does that really matter. All that's important is you and Stefan aren't siblings and the two of you can be together. Kat:I knew Stefan love me. Eventhough I had him arrested and vowed to destroy him, deep down I knew he loved me. Does Stefan know I'm not Natasha. Why hasn't he come to me? Helena:I think he's afraid that you'll reject him after all he did to repulse you. Kat:Doesn't Stefan know there's nothing he can to to ever truly make me hate him. He can shoot and paralyze me. Publicly humiliate me. Lie to me about only using me so I won't have him arrested. And still I'll love him. What should I do? Helena:You must go to Stefan. Tell him all is forgiven. That you love him. Kat:I will. Helena, you're nothing at all like Stefan said youwere. I think you're wonderful. Stefan's Bedroom: Bobbie(rolls away from Stefan when they finish making love.) Stefan:What's wrong? Bobbie:This shouldn't have happened. This was a mistake. Stefan:There's nothing wrong with a husband and wife making love. Bobbie:We're not husband and wife. I'm just a tool of revenge you're using against my brother. For all I know you set the whole thing up to get me in bed. Stefan:Excuse me. Bobbie:I'm not so sure I slipped on the dock. I think I remember someone's hands on my back. It was awfully convenient how you showed up the way you did. Stefan:Just what are you suggesting. Bobbie:Maybe you set the whole thing up so you could play hero and lure me into bed. Stefan:Lure? I am Stefahn Cassadine. I don't have to lure any woman into my bed. They come willingly. Bobbie:Just like I came willingly into this marriage? Stefan:You go too far, Barbara. Bobbie:You know the only reason I'm still here is because you threatened to tell Garcia the alibi you gave me was a phony, which would make it look like I tried to kill Carly. Mrs. Lansbury(knocks on the door)There's someone on the phone for you, sir. Stefan:Tell whoever it is to call back later. Mrs. Lansbury:It's Laura Spencer, sir. She insists upon talking to you, at once. Stefan:Oh, all right, tell her I'll be right there.(he puts on his robe)We're not finished with this, yet. Bobbie:If you'll excuse me, I'm going to take a shower to wash you off of me. Stefan(storms out of the room and picks up the phone)Yes, what is it. Laura:How dare you have Helena tell Luke about us. Stefan:Lasha, I have no idea what you're talking about. Laura:Don't play dumb with me. You chased me out of town by threatening to tell Luke about us. I even remained in Switzerland when you called me up and said I could come home. I knuckled under to all your threats, but no more. I'm coming back to Port Charles and I'm going to make you pay for this.(she slams the phone down in his ear.) Stefan:Women! Mrs. Lansbury:Mr. Cassadine, Miss Bell is downstairs waiting for you. Stefan(rolls his eyes)Now what? Helena's Bedroom: Alexis:Aunt Helena, why would you tell Katherine Bell why Stefan ended things with her? Helena:Because I believe Stefan is in love with the Spencer chit, but he's just not aware of it. Just like a man, all he can think of is what he thinks he wants, and not what he has right under his nose. And before he realizes he already has what he really wants, I've got to get him to choose the Bell creature over the family. It's the only way I'm ever going to get my power back. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
