Chapter 6: The Truth
Lizzie sat at the stool, her head on the counter asleep. Henry snuck up behind
her and tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped up and looked at him.
Lizzie: (scowls)
Henry: Good morning.
Lizzie: Speak for yourself.
Henry: So how did things work out between you and what's his face?
Lizzie: Nikolas Cassadine... fine, he's going to use me to make Sarah jealous.
Henry: Good.
Lizzie: I've been thinking, though, Lucky already saw me kiss you so wouldn't
going out with Nik a day later make me look like a potential slut?
Henry: (laughs)
Lizzie: Don't laugh.
Henry: If he cares, he won't really notice. Just try sticking to Nik from now on
though.
Lizzie: Right.
Lizzie turns back to the counter and puts her head in her hands. She is very
tired. Henry goes into the back and Nikolas walks into Kelly's. He goes up
behind Lizzie.
Nikolas: Hello, Elizabeth.
Lizzie turns around and smiles.
Lizzie: Oh, hey Nik.
Nikolas: You doing anything tonight.
Lizzie looks at him and her smile fades.
Lizzie: Why don't we just cut to the chase. You want Sarah, I want Lucky and
we're pretty much going out together to make them jealous. We don't have to
bother this pointless small talk.
Nikolas: Agreed. Is there anything I should know about?
Lizzie: As a matter of fact... when Saint Sarah got home last night she was very
jealous. She started talking about how evil I was and how I was not to break
your little old heart.

Mike opened The Recovery Room and so far there wasn't a single soul in there. He
heard the phone ring as soon as he got behind the counter and he picked it up.
Mike: Recovery Room, this is Mike Corbin.
Sally: It's Sally.
Mike: Sally... what are you calling about?
Sally: I need your help. My son took off from New Jersey and I am pretty sure he
is somewhere in Port Charles.
Mike: What do you need me for?
Sally: I need you to help me find him. Could you take me around Port Charles and
think of some places where he could go? It would have to be something secluded.
Mike: I'll be right over to the PC Hotel and see what I can do.
Sally: Thanks, Mike.
Mike hung up the phone and got his keys. He left a message for Mary and then
took off.

Carly stood there waiting for AJ's reaction, but so far, there was none.
Carly: Aren't you going to say anything?
AJ sat down.
AJ: You could be carrying my child?
Carly: Yes.
AJ: Why didn't you tell me? I mean, about that night?
Carly: Because of Tony. I love him and I didn't want to lose him because of one
night.
AJ: Why are you telling me now?
Carly: Because you wanted to remember that night so badly. I tried to talk Tony
into moving away, but he didn't want to. The alternative I couldn't go through
with.
AJ: The alternative?
Carly: Trust me, you don't want to know.
AJ: Carly, tell me.
Carly: Well, you said that if you started drinking again, you would move away to
a rehab. So I was going to make you think you did.
AJ: You would have done that to me?
Carly sat down next to him.
Carly: No, I couldn't.
AJ: Okay, so you are carrying my child. What now?
Carly: I wanted to get a ferternaty test. If it's Tony's then I would rather we
just put it behind us.
AJ: And if it's mine?
Carly: I don't know.

Alexis was in her hotel room pouring wine into two glasses. Ned was going to be
there soon and they were going to have dinner. She heard a knock at the door and
took her glass of wine with her when she answered the door.
Alexis: (as opening it) you're early.
Alexis frowned as she saw who it was. It was Miranda.
Miranda: Hello, Alexis.
Miranda took her wineglass and entered the room. Miranda sipped it.
Miranda: Mmm, this is good wine.
Alexis: What are you doing here?
Miranda got up to the table and finished drinking the wine. She poured herself
another glass and turned to her.
Miranda: We have a lot to talk about.
