Carly and Johnny finish their shopping and are heading over to Luke's.

J: So you really know how to use all this computer stuff?

(Carly laughs) C: Yes Johnny, and I will show you how to use it to. Just trust me okay.

They arrive at Luke's and Johnny parks the Explorer out back and they get out and enter the club.

Luke is standing behind the bar looking frustrated as he is going over the books.

L: Dammit Claude, these books are a mess. You're fired!

C: Uncle Luke, are you still firing Claude?

L: Well darlinit'ss nice of you to finally show that pretty face of yours. It wasn't very nice of you leaving me hanging without any details last night Caroline.

C: Now Uncle, it was late. I am here now aren't I?

L: Soooo?

C: So everything went as expected Sonny wont be bothering anyone anymore. That's all your getting for now. But I could use your help with another project.

L: Talk

C: I need those pictures you shot last night. I imagine you have already had them developed.

L: Damn right I did. Wait it'll you see them, I've been laughing all morning long. What do you need them for?

C: I am going to use them to create a little havoc in the life of Miss Lizzie Webber.

L: Well alright then darlin. Let me go get them.

C: Johnny you want anything to drink? (she walks behind the bar and gets herself a glass of ice water)

J: A soda would be great.

Luke comes back out with a cigar hanging out of his mouth laughing, as he is fanning through the photos.

L: You look awfully comfortable behind my bar Caroline. You can always come back and work for me.

C: See Uncle you haven't seen my club, if you had you would realize that I couldn't possibly work here.

L: Ouch, easy on your Uncle darlin. So DeMarco you gonna just sit there and not say a word, have you seen this club of hers? Is it as great as she says it is?

J: Actually, I haven't had the pleasure yet, but from what I hear its amazing.

L: Okay Johnny, just sit there and look pretty.

C: Hey don't be mean to Johnny, he only speaks the truth dear Uncle, my club is amazing. If you could leave PC long enough to come and visit you would see for yourself how amazing it is.

L: So am I finally getting an invitation? Do my ears deceive me?

C: Oh please, Lucky and I have invited you before. Just give me those pictures will you.

Luke spreads them out in front of her and Johnny. Carly carefully looks through them laughing.

C: Oh yeah these will work very nicely. Thanks Uncle Luke.

L: So you will be showing me the end results right?

C: Why of course Uncle. I wouldn't dream of depriving you my masterpieces.

L: So how long are these masterpieces gonna take?

C: They will be done tonight. Tell you what. Why don't I plan on helping you out tonight, maybe I can class up this joint a bit, I'll bring the pictures then.

L: Now darlin, it doesn't get any classier than this, but if you want to help out, I would be glad to have you here, that way I can show you a thing or two.

Carly laughs and goes over and gives Luke a kiss on the cheek. C: Okay, what ever you say Luke. I will see you later tonight.

L: You keep her safe DeMarco.

C: I keep myself safe thank you very much.

J: She's right Luke. Haven't you seen her in action yet?

L: Well maybe I will get to see my niece in action tonight.

C: Only if your lucky. Later Luke, where outta here.

Jason and Francis are in their office discussing their meeting that just got over with.

F: Well I think that went well.

J: I guess, at least the men are all on board. But the cops finding Sonny's body already puts a crimp in my plan. I had wanted to hit Sorrel and have the police find both of their bodies, thinking they had taken each other out. Now we need to come up with a different plan.

F: Sorel is going to be expecting us if we move now. It's going to be hard to get close to him.

J: I know we will just need to think of someway to get close to him.

F: Hey Jason, does Sorel know about Carly. I mean has he ever seen her?

J: I don't think I like where this is going Francis.

F: Just here me out here Jason. We need a woman or women to get close to Sorel. If he hasn't seen Carly or Gia they would be perfect to get close to him. I have never met stronger tougher women than those two, hell they are better than most of our own men. They are a great team. I really think this could work.

Jason thinks about what Francis had just said. It could work. God knows Carly could take out any of his men without even breaking a sweat.

J: It could work, but it has to be Carly's decision. We need to do some checking into Sorel and his men first. I want to know their every move. I wont let any of us go into this blind.

F: Okay I will start digging. We will put 24-hour surveillance on Sorel and his men.

J: Good lets see what turns up. Now I also want Sonny's old penthouse totally stripped. Give his suits to charity, he would just love that. I also want to talk to our architect today. Have him stop down here. I have some new ideas for the building.

F: I will call him right away.

J: Hey Francis, how many tenants do we have in the building, excluding our own guys?

F: Right now I believe Sonny had rented out the first 3 floors.

J: I want everyone out, serve them with eviction notices. Offer to put them up in the PC hotel for a week it'll they find other living arrangements. The building needs to be more secure, we cant control things when we have outsiders within it. Sonny was sloppy and let things get way out of control. We are going to do things a lot differently and bring this organization back where we belong on top.

J: Amazing!

C: I know its pretty cool isn't it?

J: Hell Yeah! Carly, does Jason know you can do this?

C: He will soon enough (she laughs). Hey you just sounded like Stone Cold Steve Austin there.

J: You watch wrestling?

C: Damn right I do. You too?

J: Yeah! Wow cool. So who is your favorite?

C: I love Triple H; he is such a bad ass. Wow this is very cool, now I have someone new to watch it with.

J: I don't know if Jason would like that.

C: I bet if it meant he didn't have to watch it he would be thrilled. Okay now that we have warmed up, lets get into the juicy stuff. See we start with this very steamy picture, then we are going to scan in Sonny's face and then Liz's face. Now lets just make a few adjustments here and there, and whola.

J: Wow, I'm blushing with that one.

C: (she sarcastically teases) Now Johnny you don't think that Lizzie will like this one?

They both start laughing as Carly continues to create images on the computer screen.

Several hours later Carly and Johnny are finishing putting the photos all in separate envelopes.

C: Okay that's the last one. Now these just need to get to all the newspapers and TV stations and we are all set to watch this unfold. Johnny will you please drop these off for me? I am gonna stay here and have a little dinner then get ready to head over to Luke's.

J: Sure, I'll be back in two hours to pick you up.

C: Sounds great Johnny thanks for all your help today.

J: Your welcome, I had a lot of fun Carly. I will see you later.

C: Later dude.

Carly makes her way upstairs and into the bedroom. She heads into the bathroom and starts filling the tub with hot water. She returns to the bedroom and spots one of Jason's t-shirts on laying the chair. She picks it up bringing it up to her face and inhaling his scent deeply. A smile comes to her face. Jase (she laughs) Okay now I know I've got it bad. It has only been like 7 hours and I just want to jump him so bad.

She sets his shirt down still smiling thinking about him. She gets undressed and heads back into the bathroom. She turns the water off, then turns on the stereo before slipping into the hot water.

C: God this feels so good.

She sighs and rests her head against the back of the tub; soaking and relaxing while listening to the music fill the room.

As the hot water soothes her muscles her mind drifts to Jason. His smile, those blue eyes, the way his touch left her breathless. She felt her body start to tingle all over as she thought of him kissing her neck, her lips. C: God I am so head over heels!

C: Okay Carly get control over yourself. You have only been apart for a few hours now. This is ridiculous. But damn I miss him, those lips, that body - okay stop; you're making yourself crazy. Crazy (she laughs) yeah I am already crazy, I'm here talking to myself.

She finishes her bath and wraps a towel around herself and heads to the bedroom to pick out an outfit.

C: Okay lets see, I want something completely incredible for Jason. She searches her suitcase. "Oh yeah this will do nicely." She takes out a shiny lavender snake-skin print pair of low-rise pants and a sparkly black sleeveless shirt that matches it nicely. "Now where is my matching under ware set?" She smiles as she finds her lavender lace bra and matching thong. "I think you will like this Jase." (she laughs)

Carly gets dressed then heads to the bathroom to do her hair and make-up. She takes out her braids and her hair is all curly and wild. She runs her blow dryer around her hair to give it more volume, then sprays it so it stays nicely framing her face. She finishes her make-up then heads down-stairs to call Gia and Lucky before Johnny picks her up. She grabs her cell phone and calls Gia, while walking into the kitchen to munch on some fruit.

G: Hello

C: Hey girl, miss me?

G: Well it's about time you called me. Lucky has been unbearable - he is worried about you. I of course miss you terribly, when are you coming home?

C: In a day or so- I miss you guys awful too. How's the club?

G: Business is good, we have full list for another game already. But we are waiting for you to get back before we schedule it.

C: Okay cool. I have to tell you girl, I want to come home, but I don't know how I am gonna deal with being without Jason. Things are heating up here for him and he will have to stay behind.

G: So you got it bad huh?

C: I really do. We have been apart all day and I can't stop thinking about him, I'm driving myself crazy.

G: Sounds like true love to me. I get the same way with Lucky; I can't stand to be away from him for more than a few hours at a time. Were pathetic aren't we?

C: Yeah, but they are great guys, we lucked out. So is Lucky around?

G: No he is at the club already. I will tell him you called. How are things going by the way?

C: Well Sonny wont be bothering anyone anymore and I have a wonderful plan that is going to turn little Lizzie Webbers world upside down.

G: What about the wicked old witch?

C: Luke and I plan on taking care of her if the opportunity presents itself. I want Lucky to be free of her. We all deserve that.

G: Keep me posted and call us later after closing so Lucky can talk to you.

C: I will and take care girl. I love you.

G: I love you too Caro. Talk to you later girl

C: Okay bye chica.

She enters back out into the living room, feeling a bit homesick when Johnny arrives.

C: Hey Johnny. Did everything go okay?

J: Yup, all the deliveries have been made. You set to go?

C: Yeah, let me just grab a few things.

She runs upstairs and comes down with her gun and knife.

C: I just need to put these on.

She lifts her pant legs and straps on her gun to one leg and her knife to the other leg.

J: You always prepared?

C: I have to be in the world we live in.

J: Yeah, I just can't get over how different you are.

C: Well a lot has happened. I had to change in order to survive.

J: I know how that is.

C: Okay all set, lets head out and go and bug Luke for a while. Before walking out the door she quickly stops and runs over to the table and grabs an envelope.

C: Luke would kill me if I did bring him our end results.

They leave to head over to Luke's.

Jason has been meeting for hours with the architect, Daniel going over the plans for renovating the Apartment building and the new building he bought to house Carly's club, while Francis has been unloading a coffee shipment.

D: I think everything is in order Mr. Morgan. I will get you prices.

J: There is no need for that as I said before cost is not an issue. I just want everything to be perfect.

D: Okay then I will have my crew start working tonight on the club.

J: That is good. But I would also like the training facility with gun range and the pool that we discussed to also be a top priority. If that means hiring more men then do it.

D: Absolutely Mr. Morgan. I will check in with you tomorrow to update you.

J: Good, I will be expecting daily reports.

Daniel leaves as Francis is entering the office.

F: Shipment is in and unloaded. I have the men taking care of it now.

J: Good. Thanks Francis.

F: So how did the meeting go?

J: It went well. I updated Daniel on the new ideas for the training facility and gun range.

F: What about the pool?

J: Oh yeah that too. That was a great idea by the way. I know how much Carly loves the water and the sand. She is gonna love this pool area we have planned. I can't wait to see her face when it's all done.

F: She's going to love it I am sure.

J: I hope so. I want to make her happy.

F: So have you talked to her yet today?

J: No things have been so crazy here I haven't had a chance. I will try her now.

He picks up his phone and starts to dial her cell phone. There is no answer, so he calls Johnny's cell.

Johnny: DeMarco

J: Hey its Jason. Where are you and is Carly with you?

Johnny: We are at Luke's club and she is in Luke's office talking with him.

J: Everything go okay today?

Johnny: Yeah. Carly is amazing on the computer, wait it'll you see the photos she did.

J: That good huh, well what are her plans for tonight?

Johnny: As far as I know she is gonna be here helping Luke with the club.

J: Keep a close eye on her. When her and Luke get together, you never know what is gonna happen.

Johnny: Will do boss.

J: Tell her to turn her cell phone on and I will be by later on.

Johnny: Okay no problem.

Jason hangs up looking a bit sad that he didn't get to talk to Carly personally.

J: She and Johnny are at Luke's. So we will head over there later, once we get some of this paper work taken care of. Where the hell is Benny anyways, isn�t he supposed to be on top of this mess?

F: I will give him a call.

L: My sweet Caroline you have been holding out on me. These photos are incredible. My dear you are a true Spencer.

C: Yeah, yeah. Flattery will get you everywhere. (she smiles slyly at her uncle).

L: So when are these little beauties hitting the papers?

C: Hopefully tomorrow. We will have to wait and see in the morning.

Carly stares off into space, thinking about Jason, wanting to see him, wanting to touch him.

L: Hello earth to Caroline.

C: What?

L: Okay darlin what's that far off look in you eyes? You look downright love struck.

(smiling broadly) C: Oh Luke, leave me alone.

L: Good lord! Morgan has got you hooked.

C: So what is so bad about that?

L: A Morgan/Spencer union? Oh darlin I don't think your poor Uncle Luke can withstand it.

C: I thought you liked Jason?

L: Please, I only tolerate him because he seems to be making you happy at the moment, we will see if he can handle you on a full-time basis.

C: Well HE is the reason I am happy so you play nice!

L: Alright, alright Caroline, don't get your panties in a bunch. I will be as nice as I can be. So what is our next move with Helena?

C: Actually, I think right now might not be the best time to take her out. It might seem a bit strange that when Jason and I blow back into town and two of our enemies end of dead, well and then Lizzie's soon to be fiasco. I just think it might be wiser to wait a while it'll things cool down a bit.

L: You have a point there. But we are going to need to keep close track of her.

C: Does she still have that towel boy, her man servant?

L: Andreaus? Yup he is still following her around, why?

C: Well why don't we plant a tracking device on him, its one way to keep track of Helena a bit better.

L: You think you could get close enough to him?

C: Oh I think I could manage it quite nicely; I would need you to distract the sea hag though.

L: Oh darlin it would be my pleasure to ruffle the old bags feathers a bit. How bout tomorrow?

C: Sounds good, it gives me enough time to get the device ready and the system set up.

L: Alright then it�s a date. Now lets go make sure Claude hasn't burned the place down.

He wraps his arm around Carly's shoulder and they walk out into the club.

The place had filled up nicely. Luke had a blues band playing and a group of bikers had arrived about an hour ago and Carly was busy working the bar while Luke and Claude handled the club area. Luke was amazed at how easily Carly was handling the bar all by herself. It usually took 3 of them to man the bar on a night like tonight but Carly was hustling drinks like nobody's business.

The band wrapped up their last set and the crowd seemed to be getting restless. Carly put in a few song selections on the CD player to try to liven things up a bit.

L: Darlin you know this is a blues bar, why are you playing this crap?

C: Cause if you haven't noticed the natives are getting restless, and if you don't liven things up in here your gonna have some problems on your hands. You need some distraction techniques.

L: Oh really? What did you have in mind?

C: Well right about now I would have my girls up on the bar dancing or I would be out in the middle of the dance floor making a spectacle out of myself to distract them.

L: Well I don't have any girls here to dance on the bar Caroline, so if you want a distraction you are gonna have to create one yourself.

C: I wish Jason were here, he could help me out with this. (she scans the room, seeing Johnny sitting at the bar looking bored.) Johnny! He will do.

She heads over to Johnny.

C: Johnnyyyyyyyy. (she purrs with a big smile on her face)

J: Oh no, I'm not going to like this am I?

C: Look Jason isn't here so you are gonna have to suck it up and help me out here. Things are getting a bit tense here if you haven't noticed and we need a distraction of sorts to get their attention off of beating the shit out of each other. So, you and I are gonna put on a little show on the dance floor.

J: Carly this isn't a good idea. Jason will kill me.

C: Jason is not here, you are and I need your help.

J: Carly I can't dance.

C: Johnny, I promise you will not have to move, just stand in front of me and I will do all the work. Let me just put in the right song. Don't move.

Johnny shakes his head, knowing that this would not end well.
