Chapter 13 - "At The Mansion" They were all sitting in the dining room at the table. Luke, Venus, Alexis, Lizzie, Sarah and Emily listened to Gina tell her story… about how she ended up in this Port Charles… how Dr. Burt found her and made her his assistant… how she found him… how them being sent here is proven to not be an accident because of the new rip. Venus: Fascinating… Alexis: Thank you for coming to us Gina. Gina: It was no problem. I can't say I wasn't being a little selfish though… you guys could be returning home when this… situation is over. I'm going with. Venus: Of course, you could. If we're going home, that is. Everyone looks at her. Venus: I'm sorry guys, but it is a possibility. Alexis: There are a few things I'd like to bring to your attention. Luke: What is it, Lex? Alexis: My name's not "Lex"… and this is what I have to show you. Alexis placed a piece of paper on the table with a contact on it. Sarah: A contact? Lizzie: What's the big deal about that? Alexis: I don't wear contacts, but it popped out of my eye today. Before I came over, I had it analyzed by a scientist who works for Ardanowski Enterprises. Luke: So, what did the doc turn up? Alexis: Well, as strange as it is… a camera. Emily: A camera? Inside a contact? Alexis: Prof. Wages was pretty surprised, too. Venus: So, do you think whoever set this up had been- Alexis: Watching whatever we see? Yes. Emily: Wait, does that mean all of us are wearing contacts? Alexis: Maybe… ~"~ -[P.C.: As You Know It]- Lucky and Nikolas stood on the dock right out outside Helena's yacht. Nikolas: Lucky, are you sure about this? I mean, I could see how Luke and Alexis would fit, but what about everyone else? Why would my grandmother possibly want them? Lucky: That's exactly what you are going to find out. Nikolas: All right, I will go in, but I do think you're way off. ~"~ -[P.C.: Dreamscape]- Everyone had removed their contacts. Luke: All right, now that that's taken care of, what was the other matter you wanted to bring to out attention, Lexi? Alexis shot Luke a dirty look and then went on. Alexis: Tony knows the truth. Luke: WHAT!? You told him? Alexis: No… Well yes… Look, he figured out that I was not Alexis so I had to explain the situation. Lizzie: Does he believe it? Alexis: It took some time, but he does now. He says he is willing to help. Gina: Good, we may need all the help we can get. Emily: All right, what all do we have? Lizzie: It has to do with Frost Mechanics, that much is for sure. I mean, why else send Venus and Alexis? If someone wanted access, who better to use then the one who is going to own it… Sarah: But why send Alexis? Why not Tony? Emily: He a baby napper, Sarah. Who's gonna trust him? Alexis, though, could probably persuade Tony, I mean she is his wife. Luke: That's a good point, gals, but where do the rest of us fit in? A preacher… Sarah: A slut… Lizzie: A goody two shoes… Emily: A… well, I don't know what I am here. Venus: Well, Luke, you were probably sent here not for the Luke Spencer here but for who *YOU* are. You've led an eventful life, you were probably going to be of some use to whatever we're supposed to be doing. Emily: That makes sense… Sarah: Now it comes down to use three. Lizzie, Sarah and Emily looked at each other. Lizzie: Hmm… Emily, your family is still rich here, right? Emily: Yes. Well, we still live in the same mansion anyway. Lizzie: All right… maybe your supposed to be a source for money outside Ardanowski Enterprises… (Lizzie looks at Sarah) Hey, Sarah, you have a life here… I mean, the Sarah here is involved with a lot. Maybe it has to do with someone that boyfriend Gram mentioned. Sarah: Yes, but he's a drug addict, what use could he be? Venus: One of his dealers could be involved? Emily: Or maybe it's his family… Sarah: It's possible, but we don't even know who he is. ~"~ Audrey was resting on the couch, drinking a cold beer, watching a Blood Bath Motorcycle Beast marathon when there is a knock on the door. Audrey: One of you stinking girls get that, I'm busy!!! Audrey, being the caring grandmother that she is, has not yet noticed her granddaughters are missing. After the tenth ring, she shrugged and decided to get up. Audrey: Those little bitches are in for such a beating! Audrey opened the door to see Sarah's useless, waste-of-space boyfriend. He was wearing a leather jacket, a black tank top and jeans. He was giggling, so obviously very drunk. He giggled when he was drunk… or stoned… so he pretty much always giggled. Audrey: What are you doing here? Jax: Hello, Mrs. Har-dee… is Sssore-uh aray-ounde. Audrey: Who knows… she's probally out getting high. Jax: With-ow me-sss? Audrey: Yeah, probally. Jax: Un-f… (There’s a lot of swearing from here on that lasts about five minutes long… let's just skip that). Audrey: Yeah, right. Jax: Mass-is Har-ee… whath are-s you doin toniff? Audrey: Just watching TV, now come here pretty boy! Audrey pulls him in and slams the door shut. ~"~ Emily: Let's not forget that Nikolas had been kidnapped? Luke: Oh right, I nearly forgot about the boy. Sarah: I hope Nikolas is all right. Lizzie: Sarah, it's not even the same guy you know. Sarah: So? I love Nikolas, I hope he's safe in any dimension, even if he was a cold-blooded murderer in one of them… Lizzie and Luke rolled their eyes. Venus: When Brenda kidnapped Nikolas, she said to remember the name Scorpion… I wonder what that is. Alexis: A name? A company? Venus: I'm not sure. Lizzie: Maybe both, like Ardanowski Industries is after your last name. Emily: I wonder if it's run after anyone we know. Sarah: As far as names go, Scorpion does come pretty close to Scorpio. Lizzie: Your only saying that because you're jealous of Robin. Sarah: I am not… I'm just simply trying to be helpful. Deep in Sarah's mind, "It probably is her… God, how I would like to kick that self righteous bi-” Her thought were interrupted by Gina. Gina: If someone is setting this up, then how long before they reveal themselves? All of them started to ponder this question.
