Wyndemere: Sonny(runs down the back stairs, through the kitchen and out the back door with Deke close on his heels) Sonny and Miranda's Room: Mike:(Miranda, Garcia and Taggert look at the smashed lamp laying on the floor)Miranda, where could Michael be? Taggert:I think that's pretty obvious. He knew we were here to arrest him so he broke that lamp on purpose to draw us up here so he could escape. Come on, Garcia. We may be able to catch him before he makes it off the island.(Garcia and Taggert exit) Miranda:(picks up a pillow off the bed and throws it)What were we thinking. We should have never left him alone. One of us should have stayed with him at all times. Mike:We can beat ourselvesup later about this. Right now, we've got to find Michael before Taggert and Garcia do. They might hurt him if he tries to resist arrest.(they exit) Stefan's Study: Helena(sits behind Stefan's desk in Stefan's chair)You may not be aware of this, Jax, but I'm not back in power. I now control the family again. Having said that, I'd like to know why you and Natasha haven't made plans to leave for Paris, yet. Jax:The plans have changed. Helena:Excuse me. I hope you're not trying to tell me you're double-crossing me. Surely, you wouldn't be that stupid. Jax:I don't have a choice. Before you and I teamed-up, Carly and I were partners. We'd planned for me to marry V then divorce her. Carly has a video of us together discussing the plan. Helena:You idiot! How could you be so stuipid. Jax:Name calling will accomplish nothing. Carly is forcing me to stick to our original plan. I have no choice. If I try to take V to Paris, Carly will show her the tape and ruin everything. Helena:You will stick to our original plan and take Natasha out of my sight. Do I make myself clear. Jax:You're not listening to me. I can't. Carly won't let me. Helena:No, you're not listening to me. If you try to double-cross me, I will destroy you. You just forget about Miss Roberts. You just leave her to me and start making plans for your move to Paris. Bobbie's Room, General Hospital: Stefan(enters)Barbara, I have great news for you. Dr. Jones says you're doing so well you may be released in a few days. It'll be good to have you back home where you belong. Bobbie:Tell me something, Stefan, is Helena still living at Wyndemere? Stefan:Yes, why do you ask? Bobbie:I can't believe you expect me to return to that house with your mother still living there. The woman tried to kill me. Do you really think I could feel safe in the same house with her? Stefan:Barbara, I have no authority to force her to move out. If I did, I'd throw her out bag and baggage. Besides, Mother has what she wants. She'll leave you alone, now. What she did to you was nothing personal. You were just a means to an end for her. Bobbie:Nothing personal! It feels damn personal to me. She poisoned me for god's sake. And as long as she's living at Wyndemere, I refuse to live there. Stefan:Then where do you propose to live? Bobbie:When I'm released from the hospital, I'm moving back to the brownstone. Sean's Office, PCPD: Luke(enters)Donely, I want to talk to you. Sean:What do you want, Spencer? Luke:Sonny tells me you want to take the Cassadine's down. I want to help you. Sean:You want to team up with me, your sworn enemy? What's brought this on? Luke:Helena Cassadine poisoned my sister. Sean:Why would she do something like that? Luke:To force Cassadine to return all the power to her, which h e's done. Sean(horrified)Helena's in power, again? Luke:Now do you see why I want to team-up with you. It's going to take both of us working together to take the old lady down. What's your plan to nail her? Sean:If we can find Robert and Anna and they can testify against her that she's been holding them prisoner all these years, we can put Helena away for the rest of her miserable life. But before we can make a move, we need to find out what Helena's connection to Cesar Faison is. Luke:I can tell you that. Helena and Faison are brother and sister. The Dock of Spoon Island: Sonny(is untying a boat when Deke grabs him from behind)Let me go. (he begins struggling in a futile attempt to break his stepfather's hold on him) Deke:I've got you now.(he grabs some rope laying on the dock and ties Sonny's hands to one of the dock's mooring poles, then he removes his belt)Now it's time for you to receive your punishment. Taggert(Garcia, Mike and Miranda arrive at the docks from different directions)Freeze, Corinthos.(then he spots his "dead" mentor as he's about to hit Sonny with his belt)Deke? It can't be. You're supposed to be dead. Miranda(and Mike)Did you say Deke! Deke(turns to Taggert and smiles)Marcus, this isn't what it looks like. I told you what he's like. I'm just trying to discipline him. Mike(lunges for Deke's throat)You bastard. Get away from my son. Miranda(rushes to Sonny's side)Baby, are you all right? Sonny:I told you he was alive. Garcia(and Taggert pull Mike off Deke)Leave him alone, Corbin. Mike:This bastard abused my son when he was a child. He's been tormenting him by making him think he was crazy. He locked him in a closer in New York. You saw him. If we hadn't arrived when we did, he was going to beat him. I want him arrested. For once, the cops aren't going to protect one of their own. Stefan's Study: Carly(enters)You wanted to see me? Helena;I believe you have a tape of you and Jax in flagrante delicto. I want it. Carly:So Jax went running to your for hlep. I should have realized he'd do something, like this. Helena:I guess you didn't hear me. I want that tape. Carly:We all want something, don't we, Helena. But we all can't have what we want. Helena:Are you aware I'm back in power? Do you know what I could do to you if you try to thwart me? Carly:Oh, I wouldn't try that, if I were you. Jax might not be the only one I have someting on. I might even have something on you. You try to do something to me and it just might rebound back on you. Helena:How much do you want for the tape? I'm prepared to be generous. Carly:It's not for sale at any price to you. Do you think I'd take money from the woman who poisoned my mother. Visitor's Room, Port Charles County Jail: Stefan:(enters)You idiot! I told you to leave town. Deke:I had a score to settle with my disloyal stepson. I couldn't leave until I'd settled up with him. Stefan:You should have told me you were really Deke. Deke:That doesn't matter, now. What matters in you getting me out of here. Stefan:Are you insane. If I were to do that, I could be connected to you and that would spell disaster for me. When I paid you off, that was the end of our association. You didn't follow my advice. You remained in this town at your own risk. You're on your own, now. Deke:You can't do this to me. You can't just write me off, like this. No one double-crosses me and gets away with it. Stefan:Don't you dare threaten me, little man. I was raised by one of the most evilest women every to walk on this planet and I learned my lessons well. If you try to take me down with you, I'll make you wish you were never born. Do I make myself clear. Bobbie's Room, General Hospital: Carly:(enters)How are you doing, Bobbie? Bobbie:As if you care. Carly:I do. You're my mother, after all. Bobbie:All right, Carly, what do you want? Why are you really here? Carly:Okay, I have another reason aside from checking on your health. I'm having some problems with Helena and I want us to team-up against her. Bobbie:What sort of problems. Carly:That's not important. Bobbie:It is to me if you want me to team-up with you. Carly(sighs)Oh, all right, I have a tape of Jax and I discussing fleecing V for all she's worth and Helena wants it. Bobbie:Why? What does she care. She can't stand V. Carly:She's also made a deal with Jax about V. She wants Jax to take V away and keep her away from the family, permanently. Bobbie:So, Stefan was right about Jax having ulterior motives for pursuing V. Poor V. Carly:Bobbie, that's not important. What is us teaming up against Helena. She poisoned you and she's gotten away with it. Don't you want to pay her back? Visitor's Room, Port Charles County Jail: Miranda(enters)Why did you call me at Mercy Hospital and ask to see me? You made it sound important or else I wouldn't have left Sonny to come here. You insinuated you had a way to ruin my marriage and you'd use it unless I came here to see you. Deke:(looks her up and down like a farmer assessing a prized hog)I can't believe that little whelp was able to hook him a prime piece like you for a wife. Miranda:Just what do you want. I want to get back to Sonny. Deke:And I want you to get me out of here. Miranda:You must be made if you think I'd help you after what you've done to my husband in the ancient and recent past. Deke:If you don't help me get out of jail, I'll make Sonny hate you. I'll make him despise the very sight of you. Miranda:And just how do you intend to do that. Deke:Simple. I'll just tell him it was your brother who set me up to tormenting him. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
