Sonny and Miranda's Bedroom, Wyndemere: Miranda(calls from the bathroom)Baby, could you come in here and help me out of this dress? Sonny?(she comes out of the bathroom and finds the bedroom empty) Jax's Bedroom: Sonny(sitting on Jax's chest holding the knife to his throat)I know what you did. Jax:(swallows nervously)I don't know what you're talking about. Sonny:Don't play innocent with me. I know what you did and you're going to pay for it. But first I want to know how you knew Deke was alive. Jax:Deke? I don't know any Deke. Sonny(spits)Liar!(he presses the tip of the knife a little harder against Jax's throat)This is the last time I'm going to warn you. I don't want to hear any crap about you not knowing any Deke. I know you know Deke and I now you're the one who brought him here. But I want to know how you found out he was alive and I want to know now. The Hallway: Miranda(runs into Mrs. Lansbury while searching for Sonny)Mrs. Lansbury, have you seen my husband? I can't find him anywhere. Mrs. Lansbury:No, I haven't, Miss Isabella. Miranda:Mrs. Lansbury, why did you make a point, earlier, of telling Sonny that Jax was back? Mrs. Lansbury:Because I caught him in Mr. Jacks' room looking for him. He said there was something he wanted to give him. Miranda:That's ood. When I asked Sonny about it, he acted like he didn't know why you told him about Jax. Jax's Room: Jax(looking at blood on his fingers)You cut me. I'm bleeding. Sonny:I'll do a lot worse to you than just nicking your throat if you don't start giving me the answers I want. Now I'm going to ask you this again and this time I want a straight answer. How did you find out Deke was alive. Jax:I told you before. I don't know any Deke. Sonny:Wrong answer.(he runs the knife blade caressingly down Jax's cheek)Tell me, Jax, do you think all the ladies would still drool all over you if I were to cut-up your face? I'm not playing with you, Jax. I want answers and I want them now. How'd you find out Deke was alive. Were you digging around in my past to pay me back for digging around in yours. Did you accidentally stumble upon him and thought what fun it would be to torment by bringing him to town? Just tell me the truth and maybe I just might let you live.(someone begins knocking at the door) Miranda:Jax, are you in there. I need to talk to you. Have you seen Sonny. Jax:(yells)Mirander, he's in here. Help me! Miranda(bursts through the door followed by Mrs. Lansbury)My god, Sonny, what are you doing?(Mrs. Lansbury sizes up the situation and runs to get Stefan) Sonny:Stay out of this, Miranda. It's between me and this no good bastard. Stefan and Bobbie's Room, Wyndemere: Stefan(is sitting on the bed next to Bobbie, caressing her face, lovingly, when she opens her eyes)How are you feeling, Barbara? Bobbie:(turns her face away)Worse. I don't even think I have the energy to sit up. Even after I gave birth to Carly, I never felt this tired or weak. Stefan:(turns her face back to him and wipes away her tears)Don't cry, Barbara. You have to keep hanging on to the fact that the doctors are going to find out what's wrong with you and once they're able to fix it, you'll be back to your oldself in no time at all. Bobbie:I'm trying, but it's not easy. Especially when I have a dream where someone tells me I'm going to die, soon. If that's what it even was. Stefan:What are you talking about? Bobbie:I was half asleep when I thought I heard a woman telling me my suffering would be over soon. That I would die. You don't think it was the angel of death, do you. Stefan:Barbara, it was just a bad dream inspired by your fears. It was not some celestial visitation.(he notices the mug sitting on the nightstand and picks it up)Where did this come from? Bobbie:Your mother brought me a cup of hot chocolate. I thought it was really sweet of her. She told me she used to do the same for you when you were a child and that it soothed you. Stefan:Barbara, my mother never brought me a cup of hot chocolate in her life. Why would she lie to you and tell you she did. Mrs. Lansbury:(bursts in)Mr. Cassadine, come quick. It's Mr. Corinthos. He's trying to kill Mr. Jacks. Stefan:What!(he runs out of the room after Mrs. Lansbury) Jax's Room: Miranda:Sonny, why are you doing this? Sonny:Miranda, he's trying to make you think I'm crazy. He's the one who brought Deke to town. Miranda:Sonny, Deke is dead. You know he is. SOnny:No, Deke is alive. I saw him. You all think he's Taggert, but I saw through his disguise.(he holds the knife to Jax's throat again)And this slug, here, brought him to town. Miranda:Sonny, why would he do that? Sonny:To pay me back for bringing you to town and ruining his precious little wedding. Taggert didn't arrive in town until after you did. Don't you see, Miranda. He brought Deke to town to make my life miserable. He's the one who put Deke up to locking me in that closet in New York.(he turns his attention back to Jax)Now all I want to know is how you found out Deke was alive. But you won't tell me, will you? No, you'll use your last dying breath to claim your innocent. Well, I'm not going to let you get away with what you've done to me. For once in your life, you're going to pay for what you've done.(he raises the knife preparing to plunge it into Jax's chest) Miranda:Sonny, don't! If you kill Jax, they'll put you in prison for the rest of your life. You[ll be locked up the way Deke used to lock you up in a closet as a child. Sonny(arm freezes in midair)Miranda, I can't go to jail. I couldn't stand it. I'd kill myself, first. Miranda:You don't have to go to jail, baby. Just give me the knife and everything will be okay. Sonny(looks down at Jax and shakes his head)No. He always gets away with everything he does. I'm not going to let him get away with what he's done to me, this time. This time he's going to pay. Miranda:Sonny, what about the baby? You grew-up without a father. Do you want the same thing to happen to your chiild? And it will if you kill Jax. Sonny(looks from Miranda to Jax, then he plunges the knife downward) Miranda(screams)Sonny! No! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
