Part 5: Great Chaos Jason Morgan picked up the phone as Carly was in a dreamy sleep. Jason: Morgan. Dino: Boss, we got some problems. Popalo's dead. There was a bomb in the hospital and it took Popalo out. Moreno's going to be pissed. Jason: Damn it… People were supposed to be watching him! At this woke Carly up. Carly looked at Jason and wondered what was wrong. Dino: I'm sorry boss, but he acted before we had the chance to do anything. Jason: There was almost an all out war only a few months ago after Moreno had Jones killed… We managed a negotiation and now that Popalo's dead that whole thing is out the window and Moreno is going to be coming after this territory. Dino: I'm sorry boss… Jason: Sorry doesn't cut it. Now that there's been a bombing at GH cops are going to be coming around asking questions. I don't have time for that crap. Dino: What do you want me to do? Jason: Okay… Just find King and maybe we can use him for negotiation. Dino: Right boss, I'll get right on it. Jason hung up the phone and then looked over to see that Carly was awake. Carly: There was a bombing at General Hospital? Jason: (hesitant) Yes. Someone from Moreno's territory was murdered and the police are going to be coming around. Carly: Oh my God, what about Bobbie? Carly couldn't believe those words came out of her mouth. Why did she care? Well, she didn't want the woman dead, she was her mother. Jason: I don't know about Bobbie. Carly: Well… let's just go there and see what's going on. Jason: The cops can't connect me to the scene… but your mother's there. Carly: We can go. Jason: Yeah, we can go. Carly kissed him and then they got dressed. *^* Bobbie and Stefan were locked in their kiss when Bobbie pulled back. Stefan stood there, waiting for her to initiate the next move. She walked away and he was a little disappointed. Bobbie: I can't do this… Stefan: Do what? Bobbie faced him. Bobbie: This! I can not get involved with you again. Last time… Stefan: There were a lot of mistakes… the most foolish ones made by me. Bobbie: Then why are we doing this? Stefan: Maybe because there is still something between us. Bobbie: Don't you remember our marriage at all? First you seduced me as a weapon to use against my brother, then you had an affair with Katherine Bell and divorced me… Stefan: You tried to drug me… and even though my motives were not rightfully placed, I started to have feelings for you. That infatuation with Katherine… I admit, I did love her but this thing between you and I excel it greatly. Bobbie: Stefan, are you sure you are even thinking clearly? Katherine's death was not all that long ago- Stefan: I am moving on. Bobbie: Just give it more time. You're probably just confused. Stefan: And you? Bobbie: I probably am too. I mean, look at me, Stefan. I have a daughter who I longed to be with who tried to destroy my life. My son's father died and Lucas is still having trouble accepting it. Stefan: I see your point. Very well, if you need some time, I will give it to you. I don't know if I will wait forever, though. "If you don't, then it was never meant to be." Bobbie thought to herself. *^* The trapdoor on the ceiling of the elevator opened and a guy peeked his head in. Man: Is anyone hurt? Scotty: No, we're fine. Alexis: Please, just get us out of here. Man: All right. I'll take the girl first, lift her up to me… Scotty picked up Serena, whispered something about how everything was all right and lifted her up to him. Then man got her out and then got Alexis and Scott out. Serena: What do we do now, Daddy? Scotty: We need to find your sister, make sure she's all right. Then, Scotty looked over and saw Karen rushing around to help patients. Scotty and Serena rushed toward her, Alexis just tagged along a little. Scotty: Karen! Karen looked up at him. Karen: Scott! Serena! She went up to them and hugged them both. Karen: I was afraid you were still in the hospital. Scotty: It's okay, we only got stuck in the elevator for a little while with Alexis Davis here. Scotty indicated that Alexis was the woman standing behind them. Karen: Hi. Alexis: Hello, nice to meet you. Karen: Sorry, Scott, but I have to see if anyone else needs help. Scotty: Of course, go. Karen was not a few feet when Jake came up to her. Jake: Karen, I need to tell you something! Scotty, Serena and Alexis all stood still. Karen: Jake, what is it? Jake: Karen… I have bad news. Karen: Oh my God, what happened? Jake: Karen… it's Joe… he was in the room of the bomb when it detonated. Karen: What? No, no, that can't be right… Jake: I'm so sorry Karen, but it's true. Karen: No… Jake: Joe died. Karen: No! That can't be right, he's not dead, he can't be! Karen started crying. Scotty went up to hug her but she backed away. Karen: No Jake, your wrong. Obviously, you've made a mistake. Jake: No, I haven't. Joe told Grace he was going to check on that patient, they found… a tag with his name on it in that room and… and some remains. Karen: No, Jake! No, you are wrong! Jake: Karen… Karen started crying harder, trying to deny it, but it was getting harder to do. Scotty attempted to hug her and this time she let him. She just started balling, her tears soaking through his shirt. Karen: No… Joe can't be dead. Alexis heard the poor woman's cries. She looked down at Serena who was also crying as well. She decided this moment was too private to witness, so she walked away silently. *^* Luke and Nikolas were still digging through the junk blocking their paths. Nikolas: How much more do we have to work through? Luke: I have no idea, but we have to keep going. *^* Lucky, Emily and Lizzie rushed to the scene of ambulances and police hanging around the hospital. Lucky: I hope Mom's all right. Lizzie: Don't worry, Lucky, I'm sure she will be. Emily: Oh my God, Dad and Mom could be in there somewhere trapped! Lucky looked at Emily. Lucky: Emily… don't worry, I'm sure your parents are going to be just fine. Everything will be all right. Emily: I hope you're right. Lizzie, Lucky and Emily started walking around to see if anyone they knew was hurt. *^* Brenda was surprised to see Julia at her front door. Brenda: Julia? Julia: Hello, Brenda. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to come and see you. Brenda: It's okay… at least you called once in awhile. Julia: Brenda, I wish I could have been here. I should have been on the first plane to Port Charles as soon as I heard what Jax was doing. Brenda: Well… Julia, why didn't you? Jax was trying to kill me, so why did you tay away? Julia: Brenda… it's just… well, things have been complicated lately. Brenda: How complicated? Julia, is there something I should know? Julia: Well, you see, I met this man… Brenda: You're in love? Julia: No! No, not with this man. He said he had some information on our mother. Brenda: What kind of information? Julia: That she's alive and well and living in the states. Brenda took a step back, her eyes wide with shock. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. *^* Alexis was sitting outside when Scotty walked up to her. Alexis stood up. "Almost Like Being In Love" by Frank Sinatra "What a day this has been What a rare mood I'm in Why it's almost like being in love" Alexis: Hello. Scotty: Hey. Alexis: Is your daughter all right? Scotty: She is pretty upset. I wish there were something I could do, but there isn't. Just be there. Alexis: Sometimes that's all it takes. Scotty: True… look, Alexis, I like you. I would like us to be friends. Alexis: Friends… Sure, I would like that. Scotty: Great. How about we get together sometime then? Alexis: Sure. Scotty: Good. Here's my number… (Scotty took out a card and handed it to her) feel free to call me anytime. Alexis: I will. It was a pleasure meeting you Scotty. Scotty: Likewise. "There's a smile on my face For the whole human race Why it's almost like being in love" Alexis smiled at him. Scotty: I have to go take my daughter home now. Alexis: Oh, okay. I'll talk to you later, sometime. Scotty: Good. For a moment there was an awkward silence. Alexis: Bye. Scotty: Bye. "All the music of life seems to be (Just) Like a bell that is ringing for me" Scotty walked away and Alexis looked at the card. She thought to herself that she would definitely be calling him again. She liked him, even though she had just met him. She put the card in her coat pocket and then headed for her car. "And from the way that I feel When the bell starts to peel I would swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling - It's almost like being in love" *^* Laura was being carried out on a stretcher, her body covered with bruises and blood. Xavior was on the stretcher beside her. He had not been as hurt as she. As they were being rolled out of the hospital, side by side, Xavior kept watching her fight for her life. Then they were separated and put on different ambulances. Xavior was wheeled into the ambulance and then it took off. All the patients in the bombed wing were being relocated to Mercy. Xavior decided that as soon as he got there, he would call up the family servant, Donald, and find out who was behind this. He decided whoever it was should pay for risking his life, but deeper inside he knew it was for hurting his mother. He could not help but worry.
