Chapter 8: Secrets and Lies
Tony walked to the desk and asked Amy for a chart on his patient. As soon as he
turned around, he ran right into Bobbie.
Tony and Bobbie: Excuse me.
They both looked at each other.
Bobbie: Hello, Tony.
Tony: Bobbie.
Bobbie: I don't suppose you finally had the sense to dump that little slut of
yours?
Tony: Don't talk about Carly like that.
Bobbie: Well, she's... (She paused for a moment) Sorry, I shouldn't keep
greeting you like this. I have told you how I feel about Carly, and you just
don't want to listen.
Tony: I listen, I just don't agree.
Bobbie: After everything she's done, how can you still be with her?
Tony: Has it ever occurred to you that it's because I love her?
Amy: Bobbie, you're needed in Stefan's office right away.
Bobbie: What? Why?
Amy: He said it's important.
Bobbie: *shrugs* Tony, I'll just tell you one more time. Watch out, she'll stoop
to anything as long as it's what she wants.
Bobbie walked to Stefan's office and Tony looked over the patient's chart. He
started to daydream for a second. He kept thinking about all the time AJ and
Carly have been spending together lately. He couldn't help but to feel a little
bit suspicious.

Alexis: Why do we need to discuss this, Nata- Miranda?
Miranda: What were you going to say? Natasha?
Alexis: Yes.
Miranda: We both know why I disappeared in the first place.
Alexis: Because Helena wanted you dead.
Miranda: Right, but Helena has been overthrown. Why does your father still
prefer I be in hiding?
Alexis: I don't know, I haven't spoken with him in quite awhile.
Miranda: Well, you still haven't answered my question. Why haven't you told
Stefan yet?
Alexis: I saw no reason to.
Miranda: I'm his sister.
Alexis: Half-sister... but why do you care so much now? Why didn't you say
anything when you were still here?
Miranda: Your father told me I wasn't to have any contact with the Cassadine
family.
Alexis: Why are you here now?
Miranda: Because I'm tired of hiding.

Quinn Cassadine was on the plane heading to Port Charles. He looked out the
window and thought about the past.
~-~-~-~
He watched from behind the rose bushes and saw the most beautiful woman he had
ever seen. She had long brown hair, dark eyes and wore a white dress. She was
younger than he was and he wanted her. Then, his stepbrother came up behind him.
Mikkos: What are you looking at?
Quinn: Nothing.
Mikkos pushed Quinn out of the way and saw.
Mikkos: You know she is not good enough.
Quinn: I know what we are all told.
Mikkos: You're just like your mother. How much longer will my father put up with
her.
Quinn: Leave me and my mother alone, Mikkos.
Quinn walked away. He did not like Mikkos or his soon to be wife Helena. He
wished every day he spent there that his mother would leave his stepfather, but
she never seemed to want to. She had power, money and what she thought was love
and he guessed in some way he could not understand was. He always seemed to have
coldness about him.
He saw his other stepbrothers playing by the pool. Some of them had learned to
except him, but others did not. He wondered if he would ever be excepted as a
Cassadine.
~-~-~-~
Quinn looked at his watch. Almost time for landing. He hoped he could avoid his
ties to the past, but if Natasha really were in Port Charles for the reasons he
thought, he would have to find a way to explain to Alexis what this was all
about.

Carly: The test has been moved up to a couple of days.
AJ: So we should be able to find out soon?
Carly: Right...
They stood by Carly's doorway, staring at each other.
AJ: Carly... what if the child's mine?
Carly: AJ, I told you, I don't know.
AJ: Well, you're gonna have to brace yourself... it might not be Tony's.
Carly: AJ, I know that. If I were so sure, I wouldn't even be doing this!
AJ: Right, you're right. Sorry.
Carly: AJ, I'm sorry for snapping at you, but if I lost Tony.... If I lost him I
don't know what I'd do.
Carly started to cry and AJ held her in his arms. Just then, Tony walked down
the hall and saw them.
Tony: What's going on?
AJ and Carly broke from their hug. They looked at each other and Carly tried to
think of something to say.

Person: Check please!
Henry: One second!
Henry looked around the counter and then walked up to Lizzie who had just
finished with a customer.
Henry: Which table is that?
Lizzie: (looks to where he's pointing) Table 5.
Henry: No, that one's Table 5.
Lizzie: I'm pretty sure that that one is Table 5.... Or is it Table 3?
Henry: *shrugs* Do you remember what they ordered?
Lizzie: No idea.
Henry: Ah great...
Lizzie: Wait, I think someone ordered a salad from that table.
Henry: There are three salads orders.
Lizzie: Just ask Ruby.
Henry: I've already asked to many things, could you do it?
Lizzie: No, same situation.
Henry: Wait! I think that's Table 4!
Lizzie: Okay, then deliver their check.
Henry was about to give them their check when he saw his mother walk in. He
quickly grabbed Lizzie and ran into the kitchen before he could be seen.
Lizzie: Ow! What are you doing?
Henry: My mother's out there.
Lizzie: So, big deal?
Henry: Look, when you go out there, tell her you haven't seen me, okay?
Lizzie: Why should I?
Henry: Hey, I helped out with your little situation with Lucky, time to return
the favor.
Lizzie: Don't even start, I don't think it's working at all, he hasn't noticed
me at all.
Henry: Well, as sorry as I am, please?
