Part 21: Whole Lotta Shakin Goin On (B) Bobbie opened the door of the brownstone to see Stefan standing there. Bobbie: Stefan, what are you doing here? *notices blood on his shirt* Oh my God, what happened? Stefan: There was just a shooting at the Quartermaine mansion. Mr. Morgan and Linus Quartermaine were both shot, I was missed, though. Bobbie: Who was it? I mean, who did this? Stefan: I would make a safe wager that it was my mother and Mr. Moreno who were behind this. Bobbie: Oh my God… What are you going to do? Stefan: I have no idea. Bobbie: Thanks for telling me… I have to get to the hospital, see how Monica and Alan are doing. *was about to get purse buts stops* Shoot, I can't go, Betty's gone. Stefan: I shall watch Lucas for you. Bobbie: What? Stefan: Barbara, I am his former stepfather, and we got along very well. Bobbie: I know, but… All right. I better see if I can find Virginia first. Stefan: Benson? What is she doing here? Bobbie: Visiting Carly… joke's on her, though. Carly is in hiding while Jason is trying to get Caitlyn back. Oh my God, what about Caitlyn? Stefan: I will do all that I can to help, Barbara. I will not allow her to harm anyone else. Bobbie: Thank you. I have to talk to Lucas quick. Bobbie went Lucas' room to explain to him that she had to go. He came out of his room, shouting, "Yay! I'm glad you're babysitting me, Stefan." Stefan: It is a pleasure. Bobbie: Page me if anything happens. Bye. Stefan: Goodbye Barbara. Lucas: Bye mommy. Bobbie left the brownstone, feeling just a little unsure about this, but she didn't want to drag Lucas to Mercy with her, especially with all the people still recovering from the bombing. *^* Virginia shrugged as she couldn't get the rental car to work. She kicked the car and then started crying. Her grand daughter was being held captive, Carly was God knows where, and the only person she could rely on was a known criminal. Suddenly, she heard a voice, "Are you all right?" Virginia turned to see a complete stranger. Virginia: Uh… My car, it won't start. Man: I could give you a lift, if you want. Virginia: Thank you, that would be nice. I don't even know your name though. Man: Mike Corbin. You? Virginia: Virginia Benson. Mike: Nice to meet you. Where are you off to? Virginia: I should go to a friend of mine's home, Bobbie Spencer. I'm not quite sure where she lives though… Mike: She lives at the Brownstone. Virginia: You know her? Mike: Yeah, I'm a friend of her brother's, Luke. Virginia followed him to his car and they took off. Mike: So, why were you crying when I found you? Virginia: Well… You know Carly Roberts? Mike: Yeah… What did she do to you? Virginia: She's my daughter. Mike: Oh… I thought Bobbie was. Virginia: I adopted her. Mike: Oh, yeah. I'm sorry about your grand daughter. Virginia: Thank you. They just continued driving. *^* Julie looked into the mirror and looked at the silk lingerie Moreno had given her. She was a little surprised to find it fit. A little loose, but it fit. She smiled at herself, thinking that this would show Frank. She now had a mob boss instead of a pathetic paramedic who was more interested in a teen brat then her. The door opened and she turned around. It was Moreno, right on time. Moreno: Miss me? Julie: Totally. She went over to him and started kissing him, brushing up against him in all the right places. She grabbed him by the belt and led him over to the bed. *^* Doctor Landings approached the Quartermaine's where they were sitting in the waiting area. They all jumped up and asked a bunch of questions at once. Landings: Please, give me a chance to speak. Monica: Is Jason all right? Landings: This isn't about Jason… This is about your daughter. Alan: Our daughter… What about Emily? Landings: She was just brought in. Her friend, Nikolas Cassadine, and she got into a car accident. Lila: Oh my God! Everyone stood there, stunned. Monica: How is she? Landings: We're doing the best we can, just have hope. Now, I have to go check on your son. I'll be back as soon as I get any more information. As the doctor left, Monica hugged Alan. Monica: I don't know how much more of this I can take. Alan: Don't worry Monica, Jason and Emily will make it out of this okay. Like Doctor Landings said, we just have to have faith. Monica nodded. A.J. went to get himself a cup of coffee where Alisha was already standing. Alisha: I'm sorry about your… sister? A.J.: Yes, my sister. Alisha: Right. I'm sorry. A.J.: Thanks. Alisha: Man, there seems to be some sort of Quartermaine curse tonight. A.J.: Yeah… Alisha: Sorry, that was… that was just bad, I shouldn't have said that. A.J.: It's all right. Alisha: I'm just… worried about Linus. If he doesn't make it out of this, I don't know what I'll do. A.J.: I guess my grandfather isn't helping any. Alisha: I can handle him. It's just the not knowing what is going to happen next. Suddenly, Doctor Bennett Devlin, who was working on Linus, arrived. She ran to him. Alisha: Doctor Devlin, how is he? Bennett: I'm afraid it's not looking good. Alisha: What do you mean? Bennett: Mrs. Quartermaine… has your husband ever talked to you about life support? *^* Julia and Ned looked at Brenda in astonishment. Julia: You mean to tell me that you are the daughter of Mikkos Cassadine? No, this can't be true. Brenda: That's what I thought to, but on the way over here… I was threatened. Some guy held a knife to my throat and said the both that Moreno guy and Helena will brutally murder me if I leave town. Ned: You're not going to be safe here. Brenda: Well, what can I do? Ned: Maybe there's a way we can get you out of town without Helena knowing. Brenda: Go on the run? No, I can't do that. Ned: It worked for Sonny Corinthos. Brenda closed her eyes for a moment when she remembered that message on the answering machine. She reopened them and looked at Ned. Brenda: I can't go. Julia: She can't, Ned. If she leaves, Helena will definitely find her. She's probably safer here where we can protect her. Maybe we can ask for Stefan Cassadine's help… Ned: Yeah, right. He probably won't even believe her. Julia: Well, you used to date Alexis, maybe you can get through to him through her. Ned: Alexis and I aren't exactly on speaking terms since she stabbed me in the back. Brenda closed her eyes and drifted away in her mind as they argued. She felt like a prisoner. It was Jax all over again, only this time she didn't think she could even escape. `Sonny, why couldn't you have taken me with you… We could have been so happy right now and none of this would be happening.' She thought to herself. *^* As soon as the phone rang, Sonny jumped for it. He was a little surprised it was taking Jason so long to get back to him. Sonny: Hello? Johnny: Mr. Corinthos, this is Johnny. Jason was shot earlier tonight. Sonny: What?! Johnny: Helena Cassadine and Moreno had him shot at the Quartermaine mansion, along with some guy named Linus. What should we do? Sonny: Didn't Jason give you any orders? Johnny: He never thought about this happening, I don't think. Sonny: Renaldo’s getting out of the hospital tonight, right? Johnny: Yeah. Sonny: Good. Get to him and tell him he's running the show until Jason gets back on his feet, okay? Johnny: All right. Sonny: Thanks for telling me what happened. Johnny: I kinda had to, ex-boss. Bye. Johnny hang up and so did Sonny. He realized what he had to do. Sonny: Carly, could you come in here? I have to talk to you! *^* Julie stretched out after having sex with Moreno. She looked at the light, which came through the crack of the door, going into this dark room. Moreno had to go talk to someone. She couldn't help but start listening. Moreno: …Look, just be sure the shooting of Jason Morgan and that Linus guy can't be traced back to me, okay? Good… As for baby Caitlyn, she's being taken care of… What does Helena still want with her, anyway, Donald?… Yeah, okay, that makes sense… Okay, bye. Moreno hung up and Julie turned around. She kept thinking about what she had just overheard. Two people had probably died tonight, a baby was somewhere in the mansion, taken away from its parent's, and here she was, acting like this. She started to feel like a tramp as Moreno ran his hands over her naked body. Moreno: Ready, baby? She didn't know what else she should do. Julie: I'm ready. Moreno pulled her close to his body and they did it again. *^* Helena went to the deck of her yacht when she heard someone calling for her. She saw a man standing at the edge of the dock. Helena: What is it? Man: I'm supposed to give you these papers. He handed her an envelope. She opened it and read it over. Helena: Custody papers, why this is preposterous! Man: I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm just the messenger. He walked away as Helena looked over them. She had been predicting this, but she no longer had any leverage over Alexis, since that idiot Jerry was able to get Lizzie back. She was just going to have to find another lawyer, but she didn't know who. It was going to take more then lawyers. She needed allies. She headed back into the boat and picked up the phone. *^* Edward paced around, wondering if Jason and Emily were going to be all right, when his cell phone rang. He answered it. Edward: Hello? Helena: Edward, this is Helena Cassadine. Edward: What do you want? Helena: I wanted to give my condolences for your grandson. I am deeply sorry. Edward: Yeah right. What is this really about, Helena? Helena: I'm just simply being nice. Is there anything wrong with that? Edward: Since you murdered my good friend Katherine Bell, yes, I do consider there to be something wrong. Now, if you don't mind, I have more important things to attend to. *^* Helena couldn't believe it when Edward hung up on her. Helena: Damn! She realized she was going to have to ally herself with someone else. She just had to figure out who.
