Wyndemere: Sonny and Luke enter Stefan:It's about time you got here. Luke:Have you got the money together. Stefan:Yes.(he turns to Sonny)Michael, do you have any idea why they want you to deliver the ransom? Sonny:Maybe they know I'm trustworthy, while your own family is afraid to turn their back to you for fear you'll stick a knife in them. Stefan:I swear, Michael, if any of your former cohorts are behind this, I'll hold you personally responsible and make you pay for this. Sonny:I'm really getting sick of your threats. Helena:Michael, dahling, where is Isabella? Sonny:I thought it best if she stayed with my father until this situation is resolved. Helena:(gives a sidelong glance to Stefan)Good thinking, Michael. All this stress might not be good for the baby. Stefan:Baby? Helena:(turns a cat smile on him)Yes, Stefan, dahling, isn't it wonderful. Isabella is pregnant with the true heir to the House of Cassadine. Outside V's Studio: Carly(as Jax exits carrying some of V's canvasses)Man, you're a real piece of work. Bobbie's been kidnapped and here you are putting the moves on V. Jax:Oh, spare me the concerned daughter bit. Everyone knows there's no love loss between you and Bobbie. Carly:She's still my mother. You could have waited until after her kidnappings been resolved to proceed with the plan. Jas:Look, I don't want anything to happen to Bobbie, but let's get real. I barely know the woman. She's more closer to Corinthos. Which is completely understandable since they're both of the same ilk. Carly:Excuse me, just what is that supposed to mean? Jax:They both come from the gutter. Carly:Well, since Bobbie's my mother, I guess that means I come from the gutter, myself. I guess we all can't have fathers who go around smashing peoples hands with sledgehammers, can we?(she storms off) Jax:Carly, come back.(he chases after her)I didn't mean it the way it sounded. The Warehouse: Nikolas(sneaks up to it and peers into he window. He sees Boris sitting by a table reading the paper. He moves to another window and sees Bobbie laying on a cot. He makes his way quietly to the door and turns the doorknob. It opens soundlessly. As he creeps in, he looks around for a weapon and spots a piece of lumber laying on the floor. He picks it up, sneaks up on Boris and knocks him out)Bobbie? Bobbie(runs to the door)Nikolas? Is that you? Nikolas(as he's searching Boris' pockets for the key to the door)Yes. I'll have you out of there in a minute. Bobbie:How did you find me? Nikolas:I heard two men talking at Jakes. Jason told me earlier you'd been kidnapped and I put two and two together. Bobbie:Did you say kidnapped? Why would anyone want to kidnap me? Nikolas:You're the wife of a very wealthy man. The kidnappers are asking for a million dollars in ransom.(he finds the key and opens the door) Bobbie(throws her arms around Nikolas)You saved my life. Nikolas:You're my aunt and I love you.(Boris begins moaning as he starts to come to)We'd better get out of here quickly before he wakes up.(he takes her hand and they exit) Wyndemere: Helena(corners Sonny)I understand you tried to clear you conscience by confessing you infidelit to Isabella. If you try it again, I'll cut your tongue out. Sonny:You know, I'm really getting tired of you threatening to cut off my appendages. You claim you know everything, than you must know I have no choice but to tell Miranda everything. Helena:What are you talking about? Sonny:You're not the only one who knows about Brenda and me. Jax knows, too. If my father hadn't stopped him, he would have revealed it at the wedding. So you see, I have no choice. Helena:How did he find out? Sonny:Jax is the reason I slept with Brenda in the first place. He tricked me into believing Miranda was cheating on me with him.(their attention is drawn to Nikolas and Bobbie entering) Stefan:Barbara!(he pulls her into his arms and holds her as if he'll never let her go)What happened? Are you all right? They didn't touch you, did they? Bobbie:No, I'm fine thanks to Nikolas. He saved me. Stefan:Thank you, Nikolas(he hugs him, too) Luke:Baby sister?(she goes into his arms)I was so afraid something was gonig to happen to you. I'm sorry I lied to you about Carly being Caroline. I just thought I was protecting you. Bobbie:I know. Carly:Bobbie, I'm glad you're all right. Bobbie, Thanks, Carly. Garcia:Mrs. Cassadine, can you tell us what happened? Stefan:Is that really necessary, detective. My wife has been through quite an ordeal. Bobbie:It's all right, Stefan. Garcia:Mr. Cassadine, we really need to catch these people. They could try this, again. Mrs. Cassadine? Bobbie:There's not really much I can tell you. i was standing on the terrace when someone grabbed me from behind. The next thing I remember was waking up in that warehouse. Garcia:Did you ever see you kidnappers face? Bobbie:No, he shoved food through a swinging panel at the bottom of the door. Garcia:Where was this warehouse. Nikolas:Pier 53. Taggert:How did you rescue, Mrs. Cassadine? Nikolas:I knocked out the guy keeping her a prisoner. He was starting to come to when we were leaving. Garcia:I'll call the station and get a patrol car down there. Maybe we'll get lucky and catch the guy. Stefan:Detective, you've asked your questions, now I'm taking my wife upstairs. Come along, Barbara.(he leads her upstairs and they sit down on the bed)Are you really, all right? Bobbie:I'm fine.(she gives him a searchng look)You weren't behind what happened to me, were you? Stefan:You thought I was? Bobbie:I thought maybe you were trying to teach me a lesson. To keep my nose out of your business. Remember, you said I'd regret it if I interferred with your plans for Sonny and Miranda. Stefan:Barbara, things have got to change between us. Let me make one thing perfectly clear to you. I have no intention of ever giving you a divorce. That being the case, we can't go on the way we have. Katherine is dead, so they're are no obstacles between us other than you being a Spencer and me being a Cassadine. There's something between us, otherwise we wouldn't have ended up making love when you fell off the dock. So do you think we could forget the past and start with a clean slate and try to make this into a real marriage? Bobbie:I don't know if we can. So much has happened. We've done and said so much to each other. Stefan:I don't know if we can, either. But I'd like to give it a try. How about you? Bobbie:So would I? Stefan:Good. Let's begin now.(he takes her face in his hands and kisses her passionately)I'm so grateful nothing happened to you and you're back safely with me where you belong. And that's just where I intend to keep you.(they begins kissing as if they can't get enough of each other as they lay back on the bed) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
