Luke's Club: Luke:(as Sonny enters) Hey partner, you look fit to be tied. Sonny(throws a black wig and latex mask on his desk)Take a look at what your niece has been up to lately. Luke:What would Sweet Caroline do with these. Sonny:Make herself look like Miranda, crawl in my bed with Jax and make me thing Miranda was cheating on me. Luke:Why would she want to do that? Sonny:I don't know. All I know is Candyboy is clanging her chimes. Luke:All right, Sonny. What aren't you telling me. Sonny:I slept with Brenda because of what happened. Luke:Oh, Sonny, you didn't. I thought you were finally cured of that particular disease. Sonny:God, Luke, how am I going to tell Miranda about this? Luke:Are you nuts? You're not going to tell her anything. Sonny:Luke, I have to. The minute I take off my clothes she's going to know the truth.(he pulls down the collar of his turtleneck sweater to reveal the mark on his neck) Luke:Brenda did that? What is she? Part vampire. Sonny:How am I supposed to explain this. Say I put the suction end of a vacuum cleaner up to my neck. And that's not the only mark Brenda left behind on my body. I've got scratches on my back. Luke(rolls his eyes)Millions of guys cheat, but only you could pick a chick who wanted to mark her territory. Well, there's ways around that. Sonny:What ways? Luke:This is what you've got to do. Before you take off your clothes, make sure the room is only lit by candles so Miranda can't get too good a look at your body. Then when you're making love to her get her so excited she claws your back. Sonny, why are you looking at me like I'm a monster? Sonny:Get her to claw my back? Luke:You obviously did it with Brenda or you wouldn't have those marks on your back. Sonny:What about my neck? Luke:Tell her it would turn you on if she gave you a hickey. That it'll make you hot walking around with her mark on you. Then she won't be able to tell the difference between the marks Brenda put on you and the marks she did. Sonny, you're doing it again. You're looking like some outraged virgin being described the sex act for the first time. Boy, those nuns really did you a disservice pumping all that bible stuff into you. There ought to be a law. Sonny:Do you realize you're suggesting I do the same thing you've condemned Laura for. Luke:The situations were different. Sonny:How? Laura thought you were dead and boffed Cassadine and I thought Miranda cheated on me and I boffed Brenda. We were both mislead. There's no difference. Luke:Well, I'm not suggesting you keep this a secret for sixteen years. Just wait until you're legally married to drop the bomb. Sonny:What difference does it make if I do it now or later? Luke:The difference is between telling your girlfriend and your wife. If Laura wasn't my wife, I'd be outta there, but because she is we're trying to work through our problems. Sonny:There's just one problem. The minute Miranda gets back, Brenda's going to be on our doorstep just waiting to brag about what happened. Luke:Then go to New York and keep Miranda there until the day of your wedding. Show her the romantic time of her life. Then when you drop the bomb, she'll have the time in New York to draw on. Sonny:This isn't going to work, Luke. Let's say I do every thing you're suggesting. I'll never make it through the ceremony. Brenda won't let me. Just as the priest is asking if anyone know why Miranda and I shouldn't be married, Brenda will announce we had sex. Luke:No, she won't. Jason and I will post men around the chapel to make sure Brenda gets nowhere near the wedding. Sonny:I don't know, Luke. It just seems like I'll be digging myself a bigger grave. Luke:Let's talk about the alternative. You tell Miranda the truth. Now if you'd picked any chippy off the street, I think Miranda might have understood. But because it's Brenda you're talking about a whole other story. Miranda's going to want to know if you did it because you were secretly looking for an excuse. If you still want Brenda. If she's the one you really love. Then there's Brenda's accusation from the opening ceremony about you two carrying on for weeks. Miranda might start to think it's true. That this wasn't a one-time thing. There's also Vlad to contend with. He'll use this to permanently break up you and Miranda. He'll make sure you don't get within a mile of her ever again. But if you do what I suggest, you have a chance of salvaging your relationship. Sonny:All right, you've convinced me. I'll get to the airport and catch the next shuttle to New York. Do you think this can really work? Luke:Son, only you, Brenda, me and Jason know what happened. The only person you have to worry about is Brenda. Wyndemere: Yanni:Madam, he man you have following Mr. Corinthos left this for you.(he hands her a manilla envelope) Helena(rips it open and seethes as she goes over photo after photo of Sonny and Brenda in various states of undress)How and where were these taken? Yanni:On the roof across from Jason Morgan's penthouse. I believe your man used a telephote lens. Helena:Just like Kristen and Mikkos. I will not have my daughter go through what I did. Where is Michael now. Yanni:On his way to New York as we speak. Helena:Have my man keep him under constant surveillance. I want to knwo everything he does in New York. I mean everything. I even want to know when he goes to the bathroom. And tell him I want to be notified immediately if he has another tryst with that Barrett creature. Yanni:And if he does? Helena:Then I'm afraid Michael will become the victim of an accident. A fatal accident. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
