Wyndemere: Sonny(watches as Stefan ushers a strange looking man into his study and tip toes over to the door and listens to what's being said) Stefan:Did you get what I asked for, Yuri? Yuri:Yes sir. Here's one of Mr. Jack's shirts int he same color and style he was wearing at the opening ceremony.(he takes out a plastic sandwich bag)And he's a few strands of hair I removed from Miss Bell's brush. Stefan:You left some hair behind in her brush so the police can compare samples? Yuri:Yes sir. Just as you said, sir. Stefan(takes out a bloody shirt and compares it to Jax's shirt)Same size. Same color. Same style. There's really no way to tell the difference between them. Yuri:Whose shirt is that? Stefan:My future brother-in-law Michael's.(Stefan takes a strand of hair out of the plastic bag and wraps one end around one of the buttons)There. Now it's perfect. Since the police took samples of Katherine's blood at the scene of the crime, they'll be able to prove the blood on this shirt is Katherine's and they'll be able to compare the blonde hair on this shirt with the hair remaining in her brush.(he hands the shirt to Yuri)While everyone is attending Katherine Bell's funeral, I want you to plant this in Venus Ardanowski's apartment. Yuri:Why? Stefan:I don't pay you to ask questions. I pay you to do as I say. Just do it. Luke's Club: Tracy:So Robin's agreed? Luke:Just like I thought she would. She's going to phone Jason from the dimbulb's funeral and claim while exploring the catacombs she twisted her ankle and needs his help. Tracy:Won't Jason be at the funeral, too? Luke:No, you know how strange Jason is. He said he'd feel like a hypocrite attending the funeral of a woman he didn't like. Any way, I want you to watch the entrance and call me on my cell phone when he enters. I'll be waiting inside to release Jax. Then police will follow Jason inside. Then all hell will break loose. Wyndemere: Stefan(enters wearing his customary black suit and addresses Sonny whose slouched in a chair flipping cards)Is that what you're wearing to the funeral? Sonny:I'm not going. Stefan:Excuse me. Sonny:You heard me. Stefan:You most certainly are going. You wouldn't be alive if it weren't for Katherine. She obviously took a bullet meant for you. The least you can do is show her the respect of attending her funeral. Sonny:I'm showing her more respect by not going. I thought an inflatable rubber woman had more brains than she did. I'm not going to be a hypocrite by going to pay my respects to a woman I had absolutely no respect for. Stefan:You are going if I say you are. Sonny:Hey, Steve, where did you get the idea that you can tell me what to do. If I didn't allow people to tell me what to do when I was a child, why would I allow you to? Quartermaine Mansion: Monica(watches as people begin to take their places for the funeral)I can't believe Edward insisted on having that woman's funeral here. Well, he'd just better not expect me to say something nice about her. Carly(seats herself next to Tony and slips her hands between his shirt)Hi, Toe-nee. I really miss you. Do you miss me? Tony:(slaps her hand away)Have you no common decency? We're at a funeral. Carly:What do you expect. Look who my mother is. Edward(takes the podium at the front of the room)Ladies and gentlemen, we're here to pay our last respects to a really wonderful woman. Felicia:He's not talking about Katherine Bell, is he? Mac:Felicia! Edward:She was a beautiful, vibrant woman who was so full of life. Bobbie:I think I'm gonna barf. Stefan:Barbara! Edward:There's not enough words to describe what a truly unique individual Katherine was, so I'll turn to the people who knew her best to honor and remember her. Let's start with Laura Spencer. Laura(looks around uncomfortably)I'll pass. I'm just here to fill a seat so it'll look like she had a lot more friend than she actually did. Edward:Laura, you know Katherine. Surely, you can share with us a memory of her. Laura:What I remember most about Katherine Bell, is she and Damian Smith were trying to build that incinerator...toxic waste whatever it was in my backyard. Edward:Let's hear from Bobbie Cassadine next. Bobbie:In keeping with Laura's memory of Katherine. My last memory of her is watching her and my husband slipping into a spare room at the Stone Cates Memorial Aids Wing for a quickie. Stefan:Barbara! Edward:Ladies! This is a funeral. Not a Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. Surely, someone has something nice to say about her. The Dock's, Sean's Limo: Sean:So, Cassadine is trying to set-up Venus Ardanowski. Why? Sonny:I don't know. All I know is he told me she was an undercover cop. For him to find out that suggests he has a certain amount of interest in her. Why remains a mystery. Sean:I'll run a check on her. Sonny:I doubt you'll find anything. If ever a person was squeaky clean, it's her. Quartermaine Mansion: Nikolas:...and then when Uncle almost killed me again, Katherine let me move in with her. Lizzie(to Sarah)Wake me when Prince Valliant is done flapping his gums, will ya? Sarah:I think Nikolas is wonderful. He came here knowing he'd run into his mother, but still he came all so he could pay his last respects to Katherine Bell. Lizzie:Sarah, you are so pathetic. Lucky:You know, Liz, the more time I spend around Sarah, the more I wonder what I ever saw in her. Lucy(holding Sigmund)I really never cared for Kathy. Neither did Siggy. But eventhough we didn't like her, we saved her neck when that rotten Damian Smith framed her for his murder. Isn't that right, Siggy? Helena(looking at Sigmund)That reminds me, Alexis. It's been ages since I had a good duck dinner. Lucy:How dare you!(she tries to cover Sigmund's ears)Don't listen to her, Siggy. Edward:Ned, why don't you sing a song in Katherine's honor. Ned:Sure, Grandfather. I'd like to sing this medley in honor of my ex-wife.(he starts to sing)She's just a devil woman. With evil on her mind. Beware the devil woman. She's gonna get you from behind...You're no good. You're no good. You're no good. Baby, you're no good...She's a cold-hearted snake... Edward:Ned, what do you think you're doing. Ned:It's a tribute to Katherine. I thought the songs were in keeping with her true personality. Robin:(looks at her watch and slips away from the funeral. Once in the foyer, she takes out her cell phone and calls Jason)Jason, it's Robin. I'm in the catacombs. I tripped over a rock and hurt my ankle. Will you come and get me? You will? Thank you.(she disconnects the phone) Sonny(standing behind her)Why did you just lie to Jason? Garcia(disconnects his cell phone and turns to Taggert)That was my man on Morgan. He's on the move. Taggert:What direction is he headed? Garcia:Towards the docks. Taggert:I think I'll head down there, myself. Robin:Sonny, what are you doing here? Miranda said you weren't coming. Sonny:I changed my mind. You didn't answer my question. Why did you lie to Jason? The Catacombs: Tracy(on her cell phone)Luke, Jason just entered the catacombs. Luke:I'll take it from here. You make yourself scarce.(he pulls on a ski mask to conceal his identity and goes to where Jax is chained up and speaks with a bad french accent.)Mo-sure Jock, hi ave cum to roo-lease you. Jax:Who are you? How dare you do this to me? Do you know who I am. I'm Jax and I'll destroy you for this. Luke:You are not very bright, no? Hi ave cum to roo-lease you and you insult me? I soo-gest you shut your yap before I change ma mon.(he tosses Jax the keys to his cuffs)Unlook your montles and be gone.(to punctuate his point, Luke takes out a gun and points it at Jax)Vamoose! Jax:This isn't over. I'm going to find out who you are and destroy you. Quartermaine Mansion: Sonny:Robin, I'm waiting. Robin:Luke's helping me get Jason out of the mob. Sonny:How? Robin:He didn't go into details. Luke told me to lure Jason to the catacombs and he'd take care of the rest. Mac:...then Katherine dumped me after I proposed. Felicia:It was the best thing that ever happened to you. What you ever saw in that woman, I'll never know. Lila:Edward, I'd like to tell you what I most remember about Katherine. Edward(smiles)Please do, my dear. Now you'll really hear something special. Lila:I remember when we poisoned her and made it look like she'd poisoned herself. I kept thinking if we'd have just given her a little bit more, maybe she'd have died. Edward:Lila! Lila:Edward, I couldn't stand her. She was the worst kind of social climber. Everytime she tried to ingratiate herself with me, I wanted to smack her. Let's just end this farce. Monica:Lila's right. Except for you, a lovesick teenager, a guilt-ridden lothario and Mac, no one else could stand her. Sonny:I can't believe you did this. Robin:Sonny, where are you going? Sonny:To stop Jason from falling into Luke's trap. Robin:Sonny, wait. If you interfere with Luke's plans, Jason and I will never be able to be together. Sonny:You won't be together, anyway. You've got to accept Jason for who he is, not who you want him to be. When I knew I couldn't have both the mob and Brenda both, I chose Brenda, but when Jason was handed the same choice, he chose the mob. And if you cause him to lose his mob power, he'll never forgive you for it.(Sonny exits) The catacombs: Jax(and Jason come face-to-face)You! Jason(snarls)Jax! Jax:So you were behind what happened to me. I'm going to destroy you. Jason(knocks Jax to the ground faster than a sack of wet cement)You tried to kill Sonny.(Jason jumps on Jax's chest and fastens his hands around Jax's throat)Now you're gonna die. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
