Luke's Club: Luke(puffing on a cigar)So Eddie, Neddie and Al are planning to frame Fabio for trying to kill Sonny, are they? How nice of them to be of so much help to us. Tracy(puffing on a cigar)So you think we can use this to our advantage? Luke:Definitely, but I don't like the idea of your psycho brother having a loaded gun in his hand. Eddie has reason to worry about Al accidentally killing Sonny on purpose. And I want to take that threat away. Tracy:How? Luke:I need you to get back into the mansion and put blanks in the gun Alan's going to use. Then even if Alan tries to use this opportunity to whack Sonny, his gun will be harmless. Tracy:But you said to get Jason to go beserk and to go after Jax, Sonny needs to be minorly injured. You were even going to take a shot at Sonny, yourself, and nic him in the arm to set Jason off. Luke:The plan's still the same. I'll fire my gun at exactly the same time Alan fires his. With blanks in his gun Alan can shoot to kill and at not time will Sonny be in any real danger. Tracy(smiles)Because you'll be the one whose doing the real shooting. Luke:Exactly. I'll give Sonny a minor flesh wound which will make Jason see red and P.C.P.D Blue will be watching as Jason goes after Goldenboy. Tracy:Then they'll arrest my mentally challenged nephew and we'll move in and take over his territory. Brilliant. Jax's Penthouse: Brenda:Now you know what to say? Maid:Yes, maam. Are you sure he's really going to buy this. It's a pretty lame story. Brenda:Of course, he will. I can make him believe anything. (Jax enters)Oh, thank goodness your home, Jax, darling. I've got wonderful news. I've solved the mystery. Jax:What mystery? Brenda:Why the mystery of all the strange things you've been finding in our bedroom. This is Consuela. She can explain it all. Maid:Yes, maam. Brenda:If you take a good sniff of Consuela you'll notice she wears the same scent as you've found on her pillow. Maid:By the time I get around to cleaning your penthouse I'm pretty tired, so I sometimes take a nap on your bed. Brenda:That's how the scent got on your pillow. Maid:And one day my hair was all messed-up and I used your comb. I didn't think you'd notice. Brenda:That's how the dark wavy hair got in your comb. Maid:And I must have gotten your laundry mixed-up with someone elses. Brenda:That's how the boxers got mixed in you underwear drawer. You may leave Consuela.(she leaves)See, it wasn't what you thought. Sonny wasn't to blame for any of this. Jax:Oh, Brender, I'm so relieved. I thought I was going to lose you again to Corinthos. Brenda:Oh, you have no fear of that.(she jumps up and straddles him)Take me to bed, Jax, darling. Jax(carries her to the bed and falls backwards on to the mattress.)Ow! Brenda:What is it, Jax, darling? Jax:Something's stuck in me bum.(he pulls it out)It's a cuff link. I suppose Consuela is also to blame for this? What kind of fool do you take me for?(she shoves her off him and storms out) Brenda(sitting on the floor on her butt)Jaa-aax! Come back! Stefan's Office: Sonny(enters)You wanted to see me, Steve? Stefan:It's Stefan. Yes, I did. I thought you'd want to know that your friend Jason has an undercover cop working for him. I believe you know her. Venus Ardanowski? Sonny:Why are you telling me this? Why did you go to the trouble of finding this out? What's in it for you? Stefan:My you're suspicious. I know he's a friend of yours and I thought you'd want to prevent him from winding up in prison. I know we got off on the wrong foot and this was simply my way of remedying it. Sonny:Who are you trying to kid? I'm not as stupid as you seem to think I am. You obviously stumbled upon this information while you were plotting and scheming something. For some reason only known to you you want to expose V as an undercover cop, but you want me to do your dirty work for you. And since it's beneficial to Jason, I'll do it. Was there anything else you wanted? Is that all? Stefan:Aside from you grasping the concept that my name is Stefan and not Steve, no, that's all. Sonny:Then I'll see you at home, later, Steve.(he exits as Kat enters) Stefan:Katherine, I thought I made my position clear. It's over between us. Will you please leave. Kat:But I haven't made my postion clear.(she locks the door behind her and lets her trench coat fall to the floor revealing she's wearing an outfit similar to the one Franken Furter wore in the Rocky Horror Picture Show) Stefan:Katherine, my god, what are you wearing? Kat:I know why you've been pushing me away.(she straddles his lap)But I'm not going to let you put up anymore barriers between us. Stefan:And just why do you think I've been pushing you away.(she grabs his face and kissed him) Kat:I didn't come here to talk.(she unbuttons his shirt)You can't deny you want me. I can feel it. Stefan(panting)Katherine, I'm like any other normal man. If some half-naked woman waves it in my face, she'll get the response she desires. Kat:(purrs)And I definitely desire the response I'm getting.(she trails kisses down his chest)Stefan, we've waited too long to be together. Make love to me, now. Stefan(gives into her and kisses her passionately. They fall out of his chair and on to the floor, but neither notices)Yes, it's true. I can't deny it any longer. I want you, Barbara, and I want you now. Oh, Barbara, the things you do to me. Kat(pushes him away from her)Barbara! Bobbie! We're about to make love and you're calling me by Bobbie's name.(she grabs her coat and storms out) Stefan(laying on the floor confused)Katherine, wait! I called her Barbara. I thought I was kissing Barbara. No, it's impossible. I can't be falling in love with a Spencer. I won't allow it! The Docks: Jason:(notices someone huddling against the cold in an abandoned store front)Cassadine? Nikolas Cassadine, is that you? Nikolas:I'm not a Cassadine. I'm not a Spencer. I'm nobody. Jason:Sonny told me Laura's looking everywhere for you. Nikolas:I don't care. Jason(laughs)You remind me of me. I guess the same way I must has reminded Sonny of himself when we first met. Not so long ago I was nobody, too. Nikolas:What did you do? Jason:Took on my grandmother's maiden name and became Jason Morgan and now I'm somebody. Nikolas:My Grandmother Leslie's last name is Webber. I suppose I could call myself Nick Webber. Jason:Nick Webber. I like it. So, Nick Webber, now that you've got yourself a name. Who do you intend to be? How are you going to live? Do you have any way to support yourself? Nikolas:I have no idea. I've never had to worry about money, before. Since I was a child I was groomed to become The Cassadine. But now I'm not a Cassadine. How did you...? Jason:(Smiles)Become the crimelord of Port Charles? I wanted to escape the Quartermaines, so I went into Sonny's world. I started out as a bag man and circumstances lead to me becoming Sonny's righthand man, then the boss, himself. Nikolas:I want to escape the Cassadines and the Spencers. Jason:Listen, kid, you come into my world, you can never leave. And it's not a pretty world, either. People look down on you like you're something nasty they scraped off the bottom of their shoes. You have to kill or be killed. Every breath you take could be your last. Trust me, kid, my world's not for you. You should call your mother and try to work things out with your family. Nikolas:You didn't. Jason:My situation was a whole lot different. I was born when I woke-up in the hospital. The person the Quartermaines knew died on an icy road on New Year's Eve. The Quartermaines were completer strangers to me. You know the Spencers. Nikolas:I wish I didn't. I wish I'd never met any of them. Jason:Look, here's what I'm gonna do. You can stay in my old room about Jake's Pool Hall. It's not much, but at least it'll be a roof over your head and a place where you can figure out just what it is that you want to do. Nikolas:Your Luke Spencer's partner in the club. You won't tell him where I am? Jason:Luke and I aren't on the best of terms at the moment. And I was just looking after Sonny's half of the club. Now Sonny's taken it back and I have no other connection to Luke, anymore. Nikolas:Well, any enemy of Luke Spencer is a friend of mine. I accept your offer. Wyndemere: Miranda(enters to find Sonny tearing the room apart)Baby, what are you looking for? Sonny:My wallet. I can't find it anywhere. Miranda:Where'd you last see it? Sonny:I'm sure I left it on the nightstand before I went to take a shower. Now it's gone. I don't like this. Too many weird things have been happening, lately. First, my cologne and cuff links disappear and now my wallet. Then there's Jax accusing me of having my hair in his comb, smelling my cologne on his pillow and waving underwear similar to mine in my face. Miranda:You don't think this is all connected, do you? Sonny:It's all too much of a coincidence. Miranda:So what are you suggesting? That someone is stealing your things to convince Jax you're fooling around with Brenda? Why? What would be to gain? Sonny:Maybe your brother hopes you'll believe I'm cheating on you. Miranda:Stefan! Sonny:Yes, Stefan. He has access to my room and he made it clear when he broke-up our wedding that he doesn't want us to be together. Quartermaine Mansion: Ned(enters)Mission accomplished. Edward:You planted Sonny's wallet where Jax will find it? Ned:I left it inside of one of his bedroom slippers. The minute he slips it on, he'll find it. Edward(pours them both a drink)I think this calls for a toast, my boy. To tomorrow and the beginning of the end of Jasper Jacks. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
