CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

PORT CHARLES POLICE DEPARTMENT:

Bobbie(rushes in and spots Alexis)Oh, Alexis, thank god you’re here. Roy’s been arrested. Is that why you’re here. Did Sonny call you?

Alexis: No, that’s not why I’m here, Bobbie.

Bobbie: Alexis, you’ve got to do something. If Roy goes back to prison he’ll die. You’ve got to get him out of here.

Alexis; Bobbie, I can’t. I’m the one who had him arrested.(Alexis walks away from a speechless Bobbie)

Bobbie:(grabs her by the arm) What! How could you do that to him!

Alexis: I had no choice. Stefan refused to have surgery unless I did it. I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can do for either you or Roy.(she pulls free of Bobbie’s grip and exits the police station.)

Bobbie(looks around frantically as she starts to come unhinged)What am I going to do now?

SONNY’S PENTHOUSE:

Sonny(laying back on the couch with his arm covering his eyes)Please tell me you’re not going to make me look at anymore of those books.

Carly(smiles)Oh, poor baby. I’ve worn you out, haven’t I?

Sonny(lifts his arm away from his eyes and glares at her)I don’t find this in the least bit funny. When I go to sleep tonight I’m going to have nightmares about those books.

Carly: Well, relax. We got through all the books. We’ve selected our china, our silverware, our linen and everything else we’ll need for our marriage. Now aren’t you sorry we didn’t go down to City Hall. I also made an appointment for you to get fitted for your morning suit. By the way, whose going to stand up for us.

Sonny: Well, there’s not that many people to choose from. I suppose I could ask Roy to be the best man. And Juan could be one of the ushers.

Carly: That’s fine as long as he doesn’t sing.

Sonny: I’ll have you know I’m footing the bill for his singing career.

Carly: I’m glad you like his singing, it just doesn’t appeal to me.

Sonny: Who are you going to ask to be your maid of honor and brides maids.

Carly: Well, there’s just so many people to choose from, isn’t there. How about Felicia Jones as my maid of honor and Hannah, Emily and Elizabeth Webber as my brides maids. Talk about the gruesome threesome. Seriously, I’ll ask Bobbie to be my maid of honor and I think we should just forget about having ushers and brides maids. We’re not on good enough terms with enough people in this town to even fill the parts. Your bodyguards can seat people at the church.

Sonny: You have a point. I guess that just leaves the honeymoon.

Carly: You’re taking me on a honeymoon.

Sonny: If we have to go through all this crap to get to the wedding, we may as well enjoy the best part of getting married. The honeymoon. So where would you like to go?

Carly: Can we go somewhere where we can go horseback riding?

Sonny: I didn’t know you liked horseback riding.

Carly: I don’t.

Sonny: Then why do you want us to go somewhere where we can go horseback riding.

Carly: It’s silly. It’s just this little fantasy I have about you and a pair of skintight riding pants. Do you ever have fantasies Sonny?

Sonny: Are we talking about sexual fantasies here?

Carly: What other kind of fantasies are there?

Sonny: I suppose I’ve had a few in my time.

Carly: Any about me?

Sonny: Before you and I got together I used to wonder sometimes what it would be like with you.

Carly: Even when you were with the Banana? Did you think about me and wonder when you were doing it with her? Did you wish it was me you were doing instead of her?

Sonny: No comment. Tell me about this fantasy you have about me and riding pants.

Carly: Actually, I started thinking about it while I was reading this book.

Sonny: A romance novel by any chance?

Carly: Historical, if you must know. Actually, the couple in it sort of reminded me of us. The hero was as rotten to the heroine as you’ve been to me in the past. The description of his physical appearance matched yours, as well. He had black wavy hair just like yours. Only difference was his eyes were blue and your eyes are so brown they’re almost black.

Sonny: If he was so rotten to the heroine why was he considered the hero.

Carly: Because he was so rotten because deep down he was in love with her but he just didn’t realize it. I guess it goes back to when a little boy likes a little girl he calls her a name and punches her in the arm to express his feelings for her.

Sonny: So where does the tight riding pants come in?

Carly: There’s this scene in the book where the Duke and Duchess get it on in the stable. They couldn’t wait until they got up to the main house to have each other. Anyway, while I was reading it, I started fantasizing about you being Lord Michael and me being Lady Caroline. We would spend the day out riding. Being that I’m a lady, I would try very hard to keep myself from staring at your butt that’s so tightly encased in those riding pants. Of course, impure thoughts would enter my brain as I would wonder if you were wearing anything under those skin tight pants aside from your skin. Anyway, that’s why I’d like to see you in a pair of skin tight riding pants on our honeymoon.

Sonny: How do you do that?

Carly:(innocently)Do what?

Sonny: You know what you just did and don’t pretend you don’t. You did it on purpose. So, did it have a happy ending?

Carly: Which? The story or the scene?

Sonny: Both.

Carly: The story had a happy ending, the scene didn’t. She wanted to have his child and he didn’t to have a baby. In those days they didn’t have condoms, so I think you can guess what he did to prevent from getting her pregnant. In response she grabbed a bridle and bashed him in the head with it.

Sonny: What kind of romance is that?

Carly: Well you asked.

Johnny:(opens the door)Ms. Spencer is here.

Bobbie(pushes him out of the way)Sonny, you’ve got to help me. Roy has been arrested.

EMERGENCY ROOM, GENERAL HOSPITAL:

Alexis(rushes over to Tony)How did Stefan’s surgery go?

Tony: We were able to repair the damage to his kidney, but there’s no doubt about it. He’s going to need a kidney transplant and soon.

Alexis: Well, I’m here and ready to give him one of mine.

Tony: It’s like I said. We’ll need to run tests to see if you’ll be a compatible donor.

Alexis: Well, let’s do it. There’s no time like the present.

Tony: All right, I’ll go and set it up. You can have the tests done on the third floor.

Alexis: I’ll go there now.(she walks over to the elevator and presses the call button, but the elevator doesn’t come)This is ridiculous. I could have been there already if I’d walked up the stairs(she heads to the staircase. When she enters the stairwell Alexis is grabbed from behind. While she struggles with her captor Helena jabs a needle into her arm and a few minutes later Alexis passes out)

Helena(smiles at Andreas whose holding the unconscious Alexis)Well done, Andreas. Let’s go.
