| CHAPTER 9
SALAM PD Hope is in Bo�s office looking through his desk, when Abe walks in. �Good morning Hope� She throws some papers into the corner. �morning Abe� �Looking for something?� She looks up at him. �You mean other then my husbands brain.� �Want to talk about it.� She pulls a bunch of papers out of a draw and tosses them on the floor. �I guess not.� She walks around Bo�s desk. �I�m sorry Abe I just really need to find Bo.� An officer walks into the room. �The results on Commander Brady�s daughter are back.� �Are they conclusive?� Hope quickly asked �I�m sorry detective Brady the lab ran them three times just like the commander asked but as you can see��� She flips through the file and then closes it. �They�re inconclusive.� �You don�t seem Shocked� Abe states sitting down. �Officer have you found out the precious landing of the Basic Black Jet?� �Here you go detective Brady.� He hands her a piece of paper. �Will that be all.� Hope nods her head then looks back at Abe. �I don�t think Georgia�s alive Abe and I�m afraid Bo and Billie are walking right into a trap.� �Hope I know what you�re thinking .� Abe said standing up. �And Bo would never forgive me if I just stood here and let you do something stupid.� Hope leaned over a gave Abe a hug. �Don�t worry, I�m not going alone.� A REMOTE INN SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE �I can�t believe we are this close to finding Georgia.� Billie squealed grabbing Bo�s hand. �Can I help you?� A man at the desk asked. �We�ll be needing two rooms please.� The man looks at the guest register. �Sorry we only have one room left.� Billie can�t help but smile, but then quickly makes it fade when Bo looks at her. �That�ll be fine.� Bo looks at the man. �Are there any other hotels around here.� �Sorry sir the nearest hotel is 45 miles from here and I doubt they�ll have any rooms either.� The man replied. �It�s our busiest time of the year around here.� Be reluctantly shakes his head fine as the man calls for the bell hop. A few minutes later Bo and Billie enter their room. Bo tips the bell hop and he leaves. �Oh will you stop worrying.� Billie states sitting on the bed. �The only way Hope is going to know we shared the same room is if you tell her.� Bo just gives her a dirty look and walks over to the bar. With a smirk on her face. �Little early for a drink isn�t it.� �How far are we from Georgia�s adopted parents house.?� Bo asked annoyed Billie hops up. �I�ll get the directions.� Bo throws back his drink then runs his hands down his face. �I�m sorry fancy face but I promise I�ll make you understand.� COMMERICAL AIRLINES �Is this seat taken?� �Thanks for coming Lockhart. Patrick sits down. �You know Hope, Bo isn�t going to like the idea that you asked me to come with you.� Hope looks out the window. �Right now Lockhart I don�t really care.� �I�m sorry he did this to you.� He�s the one who�s going to be sorry.� She hands him a piece of paper. �Ever heard of it?� �Can�t say I have� �It�s the only Inn within miles of Tony�s castle.� She looks at him. �I�m taking it that�s where Bo and Billie are.� �What are your plans?� �To find my husband, his ex lover and to prove to both of them that Georgia isn�t alive and that the Dimera�s are behind this.� �Hope the Dimera�s are dead.� �If you believe that then you�re a fool just like my husband said you were.� �Hope you saw what everybody else saw�.� �And what�s that Patrick, a dead burnt body with a ring on his finger and a man lying on the floor left for dead.� �You can�t honestly think Tony made it out of there alive?� �After everything we�ve went through and learned over the past year..� She looks him dead in the eyes. �Why can�t I?� Patrick looks around thinking for a moment then looks at Hope. �If you think the Dimera�s are still alive why do you trust me to help you.� �Let�s get one thing clear Patrick I never said I trusted you. I asked you to come with me for a few reasons. One I think you�re my best chance of convincing both Bo and Billie that Georgia isn�t alive. Two you have an inside connection to Tony�s organization. And three you�re the best person I can think of to make my husband jealous.� Shaking his head. �Gee thanks Hope, I didn�t think you cared.� �I�m not scared of you Patrick and I honestly don�t think you deliberately put me in harms way. But that doesn�t mean I completely trust you.� �And Billie?� �I don�t trust her at all.� BACK AT THE HOTEL ROOM (several hours later) �I can�t believe you screwed up the directions like that.� Bo yelled at Billie opening the door. �Well how was I to know that this address didn�t even exist?� Bo throws the key on the table. �Maybe Hope�s right maybe we�re just chasing our tails.� Billie grabs Bo�s arm. �Don�t even say that Bo, Georgia is alive.� �Billie I want that to be true as much as you do.� With tears in her eyes. �We aren�t giving up Bo, we just aren�t.� �Billie I�m sorry but we have to think logically here.� �Fine then Bo you tell me.� Billie begins to yell. �Why would the Dimera�s go to all this trouble if Georgia wasn�t alive?� Throwing his hands up in the air. �Because they�re sick people Billie, and they live to make others, especially others in my family, suffer.� Billie holds out the picture they found of Georgia while searching the castle. �Georgia is alive Bo.� �I don�t mean to sound so cruel Billie, but we don�t even know if that picture is Georgia. For all we know it could be one of the maids daughters, or maybe she even belongs to one of the guards.� �I am not leaving here without our daughter Bo.� There�s a knock at the door. Bo looks at Billie. �You expecting someone?� Billie shakes her head no. �You?� Bo opens the door to find Hope and Patrick standing there arm and arm. Smiling. �Is this a private party Brady, or is anybody welcome.� She pushes her way past Bo. �Nice room.� She sits down on the bed next to Billie. �Kinda cozy isn�t it.� Patrick walks in and Bo closes the door behind him. �Hope I can explain.� Hope walks over and gives him a big kiss. �No need darling the man down stairs informed us that the hotel is full.� She places her arms around Bo�s waist and looks back at Billie. �Don�t worry, Bo and I will be perfectly fine on the floor. You and Patrick can have the bed.� Bo grabs Hope�s face and looks into her eyes. �Are you drunk?� She pulls his ear next to her mouth. �You�d be better off if I were.� Patrick walks past the two of them and holds his hand out to Billie. �What do you say we take a walk?� Bo pulls Hope to his side. �Nobody�s going anywhere till Lockhart here tells me what the hell he�s doing with my wife.� �Don�t worry honey, Patrick and I aren�t doing anything you and Billie aren�t doing.� Billie takes Patrick�s hand. �A walk sounds great.� �Hold on a second.� Bo yells. �Let them go Brady.� Hope demands. �Billie what ever you do don�t trust him.� Bo yelled as they walked out the door. Hope walked over to a near by chair and sat down. �Would you like to tell me what the hell you�re thinking of Fancy Face ��taking off with Lockhart and all.� Hope crosses her arms. �Right after you tell me what the hell you were thinking of taking off with Billie.� �Are you saying you don�t trust me?� �I don�t trust Billie.� She gives him a stern look. �Are you saying you don�t trust me?� �I don�t trust Lockhart and you know it.� �Then I guess that makes us even.� He looks at her and smirks. �You brought him to try and make me jealous.� �I brought him here because he has inside connections to the Dimera�s organization.� Not buying it. �You did�. You brought him here to make me jealous.� Looking away almost pouting. �What if I did. It would serve you right.� Bo walks over and kneels down in front of Hope. He grabs her face and pulls her into a kiss. �Have I told you lately how much I love you.� He pulls her into an even deeper kiss. After a few seconds she pushes him back. �You can�t distract me Brady.� He pulls her lips extremely close to his. �Then I�m doing something wrong.� He begins chewing on her neck. �Brady.� She tries pushing him off. �Billie and Patrick can come back at any moment.� �I�m sure they�ll knock first.� He stated pulling her blouse from her pants. �We are not doing this.� He looks deep into her eyes. �We can always take this to the bathroom.� He pretends to smell her. �When�s the last time you took a shower?� Trying her hardest not to be intrigued. �I�m still mad at you Bo Brady.� Smiling, almost laughing. �Ya, I can see that.� |
