"A Tangled Web" Jack & Tea, Erica & Gavin 05/21/2014

Jack and Tea stand next to bar watching the other guest enjoy the festivities directly across from where Erica and Gavin stand giving an interview.

Jack: So what do you think Ms. Delgado? (He reaches for two glasses from a passing waiter and hands her one) 

Tea: Thissss is really something! (She sips her glass looking around at the all the glitz and glamour. She smiles catching a glowering Erica out the corner of her eye. She holds up her glass in a salute)
Tea: Bite me witch! (She mumbles then sips her glass watching Erica becomes all smiles and sex appeal for the cameras)  

Jack: A little over the top for my taste. (He smiles stealing a covert glance at Erica preening for the cameras) 

Tea: Mine too but it's still kind of fun and the food was excellent. (Jack nods in agreement still twisting his mouth in distaste)  

Jack: I could have lived without the entire "red carpet" thing.

Tea: Well if you had been on time we would have missed the interview portion of  the evening. (Her tone playfully chastising. Jack chuckles and nods in agreement) 

Jack: True very true. (He laughs enjoying the closeness of the moment. He was enjoying the evening even if he'd originally had ulterior motives for coming. Tea was fun alot of fun and that was something his life had been lacking lately)
Tea: Although I have to say you were very smooth during that interview. (She says feeling the burn of Erica's stare and moves closer to Jack her smile undeniably flirtatious. Jack blushes slightly as a momentary jolt of arousal courses through him. Tea smiles up at him enjoying the affect she was having on Erica who was throwing her eye daggers as the reporter interviews Gavin and more so on Jack whose expression was a lot more than just casual and friendly and Erica knew it)
Jack: I guess all the years I wasted with Erica had some benefits after all.(He chuckles watching Erica try not to watch them. Tea follows his line of vision)    
Tea: Speaking of Erica she and Gavin looked very chummy. (She says sipping her drink watching them over the brim of her glass)
Jack: That's just Erica playing for the camera's if they were really together she wouldn't keep sliding glances over here. (He laughs waving his hand dismissively feeling more interested in what was happening between he and Tea than Erica's reaction to it)
Tea: So exactly what's the plan here? (Feeling a slight pang of jealousy as Jack's tone bitter edge)  
Jack: We basically stand around having a great time.(He says turning his attention back to Tea his eyes revealing a simmering spark that hadn't been there earlier sending a slight shiver through her. Something had just changed in their relationship that both excited and frightened her at the same time and inexplicably wanting more as she leans into him her body's calling taking the lead over her head)
Tea: Laughing
Jack: Sharing intimately conversation.(He teases back enjoying the close moment between them)
Tea: Oh you mean like this. (She says stepping closer and smiling up at him as she pulls some imaginary lint from his lapel)
Jack: Exactly. (He laughs)
Tea: Sharing a private joke (Giggling loudly enjoying Erica's vexed expression)
Jack: You are very good at this Ms. Delgado. (He looks down at her fighting hard against his urge to kiss her upturned face)
Tea: Trust me I've gone more than a few rounds with the best of them.
Jack: And I bet no one was left standing.
Tea: Something like that.(She says fighting back the longing to mess up his perfect hair by running her fingers through it)
Jack: I have a great idea why don't you and I hit the dance floor.(Maybe holding her while they danced would put the sudden lust he felt at bay)
Tea: I thought you would never ask. (She says standing on the tips of her toes whispering in his ear. Jack laughs heartily as Tea takes his his arm and they walk toward the dance floor, all of it to Erica's shagrin. Gavin watches the emotion cross Erica's face as he moves to stand in front of her blocking her view)
Erica: That woman is absolutely insufferable! (Her voice filled with venom as her mind clicks from one revenge plot to the next)
Gavin: I found her very charming. (He looks back over his shoulder at Jack and Tea dancing the attraction between the two almost palpable then back to Erica's scowled face)
Erica: You would! (She spits back more annoyed with him and the situation between Jack and Tea then before. Not only was Gavin utterly useless he lacked tastes and judgement too. She could see the flames starting between them and she intended to douse them before they became a blaze)
Gavin: I thought you and Mr. Montgomery were over a long time ago? (He muses aloud his mind going into damage control. This would never work he needed her focused. He looks over at the offending couple again then back to Erica who now looked cool and collected which could only mean drama and distraction)
Erica: We are but that doesn't mean I'm going to allow that, that succubus to get her claws in him. (Her voice even and controlled but her eyes still deadly. He needed to do something quick or everything he planned would be burned to ashes. He needed to distract her now before this war could get started.  Then his mind hits on an idea )
Gavin: Sounds like jealousy. (He quips knowing just the right button to push to turn her attention snapped to him)
Erica: I'm not jealous I'm just very protective of all my friends past and present. (She says smoothly tossing the hair back from her face a sardonic grin on her lips. He looks down at her his eyes bright with devilment)
Gavin: You know the best way to mend a broken heart? (He says taking a step towards her amused by the slight flush to her cheeks negating her cool demeanor)
Erica: Glue? (Her eyes locking with his meeting his challenge)
Gavin: Moving on! (He says sweeping Erica into a passionate kiss then releasing her just as abruptly and walking away leaving her stunned and intrigued)

Dani and Molly 05/19/2014

Molly and Dani sit in their booth waiting for Phillip and Justine to come back with their drinks as the rest of their group dance around on the dance floor.
Dani: That was awesome!
Molly: This whole night has been awesome! How did I not know that some place actually cool was this close to Pine Valley?
Dani: Come on Pine Valley isn't that bad really.
Molly: You are kidding, right? (Her voice dripping with sarcasm)
Dani: Come on they have some of the best shops ever!
Molly: Very true and when you're done they roll up the sidewalks till morning!
Dani: Come on it's not that bad
Molly: Okay I admit it's not that bad and I did have fun last summer and this semester despite my Uncle and tonight is just wild! Do you know this is the most freedom I have had since I came to Pennsylvania and it's all because of you! (She shouts pulling Dani into a hug)
Dani: I didn't do anything. (She giggles hugging her back)
Molly: You got my Uncle to let me stay out all night! (She giggles holding her by her shoulders) You girlfriend are like my good luck charm! (She says letting her go as Philip joins them)
Phillip: Mine too. (He smiles standing behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist)
Molly: Okay as long as you don't mind sharing?
Justine: Sharing what? (He grins handing Molly a drink)
Molly: Dani she's our good luck charm! (She takes the glass from him drinking half of it in three gulps)
Justine: Yeah she is! If it were up to me we'd still be talking to scalpers on the curb! (They all laugh)
Philip: To Dani! (They all hold up their glasses in salute Molly drains hers throwing her head too far back and losing her balance and falling back against Justin)
Molly: Whoa!
Justine: Are you okay? (He smiles down at her half holding her up as she giggles)
Molly: I'm fine. Oooooo! I love this song come on! (Se grabs Justin's hand dragging him towards the dance floor)
Dani: Oh my God she is totally wasted! (She laughs turning to face him)
Philip: No, she's buzzed I've seen her wasted.(He laughs swaying her in time with the music)
Dani: So how long have you guys been friends?
Philip: Since the summer we had a couple of classes together we you know (He shrugs)  hang out.
Dani: Does she get wasted a lot?
Philip: Molly's what I'd call kind of a "Free Spirit". She pretty much does what she wants, when she wants and how she wants. I've never met anyone like her.
Dani: Me either! I have never had so much fun shopping in my life.
Philip: She does have a way of adding a little excitement everywhere she goes sometimes a little too much.
Dani: What do you mean? (She looks up at him her curiosity peaked)
Phillip: Just sometimes I think she's does stuff to keep from having to deal with other stuff you know? (He shrugs not wanting talk behind his friends back. Dani nods her head in agreement)
Dani: Yeah. I get that.
Philip: Okay enough about Miss Molly I want to talk about you. (He says leaning closer in)
Dani: What do you want to know? (She smiles back feeling suddenly shy)
Philip: I want to know if you would...(He starts as Molly stumbles back to them)
Molly: Hey you guys what do you say we go outside and smoke.
Dani: I don't smoke cigarettes.
Molly: Seriously Dani? Who smokes cigarettes? I'm talking about this.(She says taking a joint from her purse and holding it up)
Justine: Molly put that away! (He grinds out looking around nervously making Molly laugh)
Molly: Come on guys! (Philip shakes his head no as does Dani)
Philip: No I'm good.I have a class and I need to study for finals tomorrow.
Dani: Me too. (Molly purs turning towards Justine)
Molly: Justine, I know you want some. (He smiles down her shaking his head)
Justine: No, I don't I have a class and a lab final tomorrow.
Molly: I thought we came out to party!
Justine: We came to hear the band and chill not get wasted I thought you did too. (His voice sounding disappointed then he shouts over the music) I don't know about these guys but I'm having a good time. You guys having fun?
Philip: Yeah, you Dani?
Dani: Yeah
Molly: Yeah, but lets just kick it up a notch. (She whines stumbling into Justin's arms)
Justin: Come on Moll I think you've had enough? (She pushes angrily against his chest righting herself)
Molly: Fuck off Dad! I don't need a babysitter! I do what I want when I want. You know...whatever! ( She storms off heading for the bar. She slapping her hand on top to get the bartender's attention and shouting) Can I get a drink here?
Bartender: What can I get you? (He leans in towards not bothering to check her wrist band)
Molly: Long Island Ice Tea.
Bartender: Coming right up. (He grins and walks away)
Joe: Hey Molly what's going on?
Molly: Hey what's up? (She reaches for the glass the bartender places in front of her and sipping it)
Joe: Nothing much you here by yourself?
Molly: No, Justine and Philip are here too and a couple other people.
Joe: So what are you doing getting your own drink? Why aren't you with the party people? (He says giving her a sideways grin and leaning against the bar)
Molly: Party People? I wish! (She laughs) They've turned into a bunch of stiffs! What about you Joe you want a party? (She says holding up the joint she'd offered to her friends)
Joe: I have something even better. (He says handing her some ecstasy) Party on Mol! (She grins devilishly tucking the the joint back in her purse and taking the pill from him)
Molly: Even better party on Joe! (She laughs putting the pill in her mouth chasing it down with her drink)

Brooke and Angie 05/17/2014

Angie looks around the room and makes a "Beeline" towards Brooke. Brooke sees her coming over the brim of her glass and whispers to Oliver.

Brooke: Looks like Devereaux just told Angie and Jesse about Rego and Cassandra.
Oliver: Just remember we can't tell them anything about the baby we aren't supposed to know and they'll find out soon enough.
Brooke: This all getting ridiculous and extremely uncomfortable.
Oliver: I know darling but just remember Angie and Jesse are in the same leaking boat we are and bailing water too. We can't risk alienating Rego or pushing him deeper in to her arms. We need to hear what Rego , Cassandra and those two have to say first before anything. Ulp here they come.(He says swallowing the last of his drink and placing the empty glass on the table)
Brooke: Angie, Jesse wonderful to see you.
Jesse: Good to see you both. We were wondering if you would answer a question for us.
Angie: Is it true are Rego and Cassandra married? (She blurts out looking deep into Brooke's eyes searching for the truth in her answer)
Brooke: Yes, we found out earlier.
Angie:  And all night you didn't say anything?
Brooke: We thought maybe it would be better coming from Cassandra and Rego since we found out ourselves by accident. We didn't know what you knew and weren't sure what to do.
Jesse: Angie honey this has to be a shock to them too and awkward for all of us none of us were prepared for this.
Angie: I know, I'm sorry Oliver, Brooke.
Brooke: It's okay we're all in new territory. (She takes Angie's hand in hers giving it a friendly squeeze)
Angie: I just don't understand any of this.
Oliver: We're just as confused as you are. We wake up this morning I open my front door, I have Devereaux St. Jacques Gentleman's gentleman at my door with all of Cassandra's belongings and my son missing. I make a few calls and find they have taken my jet flown to Las Vegas and are married.
Brooke: So we had all of their things moved to the other wing of the house and were waiting for them to get home. We were kind of hoping Cassandra had spoken to you.
Jesse: We haven't heard a peep out of her. We just found out from Mr. St. Jacques.
Oliver: He doesn't seem any worse for ware does he? (He says directing Jesse's attention to Devereaux speaking with Annie and Amanda his usual aloof self)
Jesse: Well he doesn't seem heartbroken since you asked. (He snorts nodding his head in agreement)
Brooke: Maybe he's just shell shocked like the rest of us.(She shrugs) I mean it can't be easy no matter how he may really be feeling . Being out in the public must be uncomfortable.
Jesse: Yeah okay.
Angie: The man has been humiliated and is trying to keep a brave face. I can only imagine what's going through his mind we all know that this is going to hit the papers sooner or later.
Brooke: More like sooner
Oliver: I suppose. (He and Jesse look at each their Jesse cock one brow and Oliver rolls his eyes silently  dismissing the comments)  
 Jamie: What's sooner.
Brooke: High honey.
Jamie: Hey Mom, Oliver. Hi Angie, Jesse.
Jesse: Hey Jamie how are you? How's that new baby?
Jamie: Beautiful! (Taking out his phone and showing them all pictures)
Angie: Aww, look at him! You tell Cessca we're going to come by real soon to see him.
Jamie: I will. Where's Rego? I thought he was supposed to be here? (Jamie looks from his mother to Oliver then at Angie and Jesse and their stark expressions) What's going on why does everyone look like a deer in the headlights?
Brooke: I guess we may as well tell you.
Jamie: Tell me what?
Brooke: Rego and Cassandra were married today.
Jamie: What?
Oliver: I'm afraid it's true.
Jamie: Holy crap! Wait till I tell Francessca she going to flip.
Sophia: Who's going to flip? (She says looking around the the circle just as Opal and Palmer join then them)
Angie: Cassandra and Rego were married yesterday.
Sophia: Mio signore! (She says crossing herself then shrugs) Well what'r you going to do? God bless I hope they'll be very happy. Tell them I said congratulations and buona fortuna! (She hugs and kisses Angie then Brooke)
Opal: Sophia's right. we should toast the newlyweds! (She says tapping the waiter passing buy grabs a drink and signals for him to pass them to the people gathered. She holds up her glass waits a moment for the others to hold up theirs) To the newlyweds!
 All: Cheers!
Angie: Thank you Sophia, Opal! (She says hugging her close she kisses her cheek then does the same to Opal)
Opal: Congratulations honey. You haven't lost a daughter you've gained a son in law and a rich one!
Angie: Thank you Opal. (She half giggles)
Sophia: Jesse, Oliver Congratulations!
Oliver: Thank you! (He kisses her hand then pats it)
Jesse: Thank you sweet heart! (He smiles and hugs her) Excuse me a moment. (He reaches in his pocket for his ringing phone as he walks towards the edge of the crowd) Chief Hubbard.
Tad: What's up chief Hubbard?
Jesse: Hey man how you doin? (He grins into the phone happy to hear a friendly voice)
Tad: I've been better. (He smiles knowing his next question was a loaded one) What's up with you?
Jesse: Man you won't believe what a nice night out just turned into. (He sighs sounding stressed and annoyed)
Tad: Why don't you stop by in the morning and tell me about it? (He'd already heard he could tell by his voice)
Jesse: I had an errand to run I wanted to...(He starts and is cut off)
Tad: I really need to see you if this wasn't important Jesse I wouldn't ask. (Jesse rolls his eyes he really wanted to see Cassandra before Angie did)
Jesse: Wanted to take care of this thing....(Tad cuts him off again before Jesse can make good on his excuse)
Tad: I really need to see you it's about the night of the accident (He waits a second knowing he had Jesse's full attention) I think I remembered something. (Jesse rolls his eyes knowing business took precedence he'd have to go see Cassandra after)
Jesse: Okay, okay I'll be there first thing.
Tad: Thanks Jesse. (He sighs in relief getting a thumbs up from Phil)  I appreciate it.
Jesse: Sure no problem. I'll see you first thing. (He clicks off his phone and stares at it a moment then walks back to crowd and Angie slipping his arm around her waist and pulling her close)
  

Tad & Phil, Opal & Jenny 05/15/2014

Phil sits down in the chair across from Tad shaking his head.

Phil: You just couldn't take my word for  we had to do it your  way and you see what happens? (He chastises)
Tad: I know I know! (He lays his head back against the cushions dreading his coming conversation with his mother)
Phil: No you don't know! That's why I'm here! (He pats his chest and shakes his head)
Tad: I'm sorry! (He looks at him eyes filled with frustration . Phil stares back at him his glare unyielding)
Phil: You're sorry? Do you know what complications you created!
Tad: I know, and I'm sorry! what do you want me to say?
Phil: I want you to say you'll do what I tell you instead of what you think you need to do from now on! (He stands over him glaring down his jaw set firmly his arms folded neatly across his chest)
Tad: Okay you were right! (His head falling back against the pillow in defeat)
Phil: You were right and what Phil? (He presses needing to hear Tad's full confession and he acquiesces)
Tad : You were right and I was wrong! So what are we going to do to fix this?(He sighs the admission)
Phil: And the last part?
Tad: I'm going to listen to you and follow your direction. (He rolls his eyes skyward) So What are we going to do to fix this?
Phil: "We" aren't going to do anything. ( He says sitting back down in the chair)
Tad; Come on you have to give me a chance to fix this (He whines. Phil looks at his face a mask of exasperation)
Phil: Didn't we just have this conversation? You aren't going to do anything somebody else is going to take care of Opal.(Rubbing his forehead with his palm)You make me very tired and U didn't think that was possible.
Tad: Who? ( He yelps Phil shakes his head)
Phil: Don't worry about "who" you need to talk to Jesse,the sooner the better.
Tad: Why? What about? What's going on with Jesse?
Phil: Jesse just got some news that neither he or Angie were prepared for. I need you to keep Jesse from going to Brooke's in the morning.
Tad: Why can't he go to Brooke's? What's happened?
Phil: Can I tell him? (Phil waits a moment) Cassandra and Rego were married yesterday?
Tad: What? They were what?
Phil: They were married yesterday.
Tad: Holy crap!
Phil: I need you to keep Jesse from going over to Brooke's in the morning. I need you to call him tonight and tell him you remember something from the night of the accident.
Tad: I passed out right after...(His voice trails off as Phil stands raises his hand and Tad lies back quietly on the bed)
Phil: You have one, (Phil nods in a satisfied grin on his lips lifting one eyebrow) a couple actually. Your mind was focused on something else at the time. I just need to help you make them more clear. (He says placing his hand on Tad's forehead)
Opal walks up behind Brooke and Oliver slowing her pace her eyes follow the direction of Brooke and Olivers as they watch Angie and Jesse talking with that Devereaux St. Jacque the devil himself if anyone asked her! She stops behind them opens her mouth to speak and stops as she hears the conversation between them.
Brooke: Looks like Devereaux just told Angie and Jesse about Rego and Cassandra.
Oliver: Just remember we can't tell them anything about the baby we aren't supposed to know and they'll find out soon enough.
Brooke: This all getting ridiculous and extremely uncomfortable.
Oliver: I know darling but just remember Angie and Jessa are in the same leaking boat we are and bailing water too. We can't risk alienating Rego or pushing him deeper in to her arms. We need to hear what Rego , Cassandra and those two have to say first before anything. Ulp here they come. (Opal turns her back to them scurrying back into the crowd till she reaches the edge of the dance floor. She stares off in to the crowd not really seeing. Oh good lord she wished she'd made her presence known. Here eye catches sight of a woman that looked like her Jenny beckoning her. Opal moves across the dance floor to where the woman stood but she was gone. She searches the crowd sees her again only this time standing near the balcony. Opal hurries towards her walking through the open door out on to the empty balcony calling to the mirage.
Opal: Jenny? Jenny is that you? (She calls tentatively as she steps toward the figure stands on the fringe of the shadow only her face visible)
Jenny: Momma I need your help.
Opal: Oh my God I'm losing my mind first the man in Tad's room now you. What's wrong with me?
Jenny: Momma nothing's wrong with you you're fine I promise. (Her smile bringing instant comfort to Opal)
Opal: So this isn't some hallucination? Because ever since the wedding I...
Jenny: No Momma Phil and I have been here since the wedding. That was him you saw in Tad's bed this afternoon Tad was taking care of something.
Opal: Oh... Phil thank God I thought... I thought...I don't know what I thought. (She laugh a feeling of relief flooding through her) So mirror, at the wedding that really was you?
Jenny: Yes Momma (She smiles reaches out and pats her hand)  that's why He decides it would be easier if we asked you to help rather than try to keep hiding. (Opal looks up at her feeling relieved then worried)
Opal: You need my help? Help with what honey? Not Tad or the girls they've been through so much (She looks at Jenny part fearful part curious)
Jenny: I need your help with the people you just overheard Brooke and Oliver talking about.
Opal: With Cassandra and Rego? Honestly I don't particularly care for either one. What could I possible have to do with those two?
Jenny: You'd be surprised. I need you to talk to Cassandra.
Opal: She doesn't listen to her own mother why would she listen to me? What could I possibly have to say to her? (She looks at Jenny who smiles back at her)
Jenny: Only Opal Gardner would stand here calmly having a arguing with a ghost.
Opal: Yeah well now that I know I'm not crazy what the heck! (They both laugh)
Jenny: I miss you Momma.
Opal: I miss you too baby every single day. (She says squeezing her hand)
Jenny: Me too. I have to go now I'll talk to you soon and don't worry when the time comes you'll know exactly what to say. For now we need you to go back inside and pretend you didn't hear any of that okay.
Opal: Okay mums the word. (She says turning an imaginary lock on her lips and throwing away the key)
Jenny: Thanks Momma I knew we could count on you! (She smiles a kiss flutters against Opals cheek at the same moment Palmer calls her name as he comes out on the balcony)
Palmer: Opal? (He turns his head peering in to the darkness till he spots her) I've been looking for you what the devil are you doing out here?
Opal: Just cooling off a little (She fans herself with her hand) I was just coming in to find you.
Palmer: Lets go back in before you catch your death! (He says wrapping his arm around her and guiding her back inside)
    

Adrian and Aidan 05/12/14

Adian and Adrian walk through the awards dinner keeping a close watch on their prey.

Aidan: How's the feed?
Ana: Perfect what about you Sergei?
Sergei: The image is crystal clear Why don't we do a test turn towards Erica Kane (He says waiting for the image to come up on the screen on the left while the computer ran the program on the right instantly matching her image) Now turn toward the other side good okay hold it. (He says running the same scan on some random person in the crowd then waiting for the program to run again) Perfect.
Ana: Okay we're going to run the test on Adrian and then all you guys have to do is wander through keep an on eye out and we'll tell you when to show some real interest. Just stay cool.
Adrian: Okay Mom. (He smirks elbowing Adrian who laughs along with Sergei in his ear. Anna blushes and rolls her eyes)
Ana: Sorry I just know we're close I can feel it. (She laughs)
Aidan: Don't worry we'll keep our eyes open. (He smiles spotting Annie and walking towards her Adrian in tow)
Annie: Hey so where have you guys been? (She smiles as she hugs and kisses him)
Adrian: I had trouble with my bow-tie.
Annie: Well you look great!
Adrian: Thank you.
Annie: Almost as handsome as my wonderful finacee. (She wraps her arm around Aidan and hugs him)
Adian: See I told you I was the good looking one in this partnership.
Adrian: I think she's a little prejudice.
Sergei: Adrian turn right I want to see who our little bird is tweeting to. (Adrian turns allowing Sergei to focus) Ah here we go Norman Baker President of the Pine Valley Rotary Club.
Ana: And he's so clean he squeaks.
Sergei: Besides he's never been outside the country.

Adian: It's pretty amazing.
Jake: You get no argument from me!
Annie: Hey guys! You made it!

Ryan: Thanks Annie you look lovely this evening.
Annie: Thank you, you look very nice.
Aidan:  Ryan, good to see you.
Anna" Anything?
Sergei: Not yet. Aidan ask Ryan who that guy is with Devereaux.
Aidan: Ryan, is that George Henry speaking with Mr. St Jacque?
Ryan: Umm no, if I'm not mistaken that's Robert Broderick of the "Calisco Group".
Aidan: Not sure I've heard of them.
Ryan:  I'm surprised you haven't they're old money very old, very powerful. They're not much for lime light and cameras. They stay mostly to themselves tucked away somewhere in the New England countryside.
Sergei: Beautiful! (He and Anna high five again as a wellspring of information came gushing forth)
Anna: Oh this is good! This is really good! Waiter three move into place and drop the mic... Perfect!
Sergei: Now to zoom in the mic...filter out the background noise perfect!.
Anna: Oh my God!...This is it! Guys! This is what we've been working for!

Devereaux: I've never seen anything quite like it.
George: My wife's like a kid in a candy store. (They both chuckle)
Devereaux: Where is the lovely Mrs. Broderick? (He looks around then lowers his voice)
George: She saw someone she knew, she'll be back shortly.
Devereaux: Good, everythings intact.
George: I'm ready on my end.
Deveraux: So when do you want to discuss the business end?
George: As soon as discretion will allow. I'll be in touch.
Deveraux: I look forward to it. ( The two part ways as Anna and Sergei high five)



     

Zach and Michael, Jesse and Angie 05/06/2014

Zach stands in the corner talking on his phone smiling impishly.
Dax: The Tokyo market just opened.
Zach: How we doing?
Dax: He's making his move. (Zach looks across the room at Devereaux smiling like a cheshire cat as he speaks with the very mysterious Robert Broderick of the "Calisco Group" to some anyway. To him he was just another high roller)
Zach: Let it ride my friend.
Dax: You got it oh and I added a little sting to the honey.
Zach: Cool beans! I'll be in touch.(He ends the call slipping the phone in to his pocket just as Michael greets him)
Michael: What's up? (He says giving his brother a bear hug and his back a friendly pat)
Zach: Congratulations to you and David.
Michael. Thank you that means a lot to me and you're not just saying that to cover up some clandestine plan plan to bring David down?
Zach: No, I'm actually taking a page from your book.
Michael: What page is that?
Zach: I'm going to do what makes me happy. I'm leaving Slater- Cortlandt and going back to my casino full time.
Michael: Wow, I mean wow!
Zach: No really I'm not kidding I'm gone. It's all Rhea and Pete's now.
Zach: No, no you both deserve it.
Michael: No warnings? (He smiles facetiously)
Zach: No, (He chuckles) but I have some good news.
Michael: That thing we were talking about earlier?
Zach: Exactly. You and I are about to be free men!
Michael: This is unbelieveable! Finally!
Zach: I know! It's like being released from prison!
Michael: We finally have the last vestige of Alexander Cambius out of our lives! This deserves a celebration!
Zach: What do you say we toast to it.
Michael: lets drink to a curse being lifted and the buyer being gifted
Zach: This guy I don't think so(He smiles looking over at a very pleased looking Devereaux) he doesn't know it but his troubles have just started.
Devereaux double checks his phone then smiles ruefully to himself. The Tokyo market just opened. He'd done it he'd actually done it. He now owned 51% of Cambius enterprises. He now had the controlling stock in the business. Life couldn't have gotten any better than this perhaps Cassandra leaving had made his life a little easier. Certainly he was more concentrated on what he had to do and what he'd just done made him one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the industrial world. He sips is champange silently congratulating himself his personal merriment interrupted by Jesse and Angie. He checks his watch looks around see if there's anyway to avoid them too late. He smiles pleasantly as she's greets him.
Angie:  Mr. St. Jacques, how nice to see you this evening congratulations to you and "Cambius" on your award.
Devereaux: Thank you Dr. Hubbard and may I say you look lovely.
Angie: Thank you so much.
Devereaux: Chief Hubbard good to see you as well. (He reaches his hand out and shakes Jesse's)
Jesse: Mr. St. Jacques congratulations.
Angie: Where's Cassandra I was looking for her earlier.( she glances around the room as she'd done all evening still not seeing her)
Devereaux: Cassandra isn't here at least not with me. (He says nonchalantly and shrugs)
Angie: If she's not with you then where is she.(Her voice edged with worry and concern)
Devereaux: Perhaps you should discuss this with your daughter.( He says looking from Angie to Jesse, Jesse's expression letting him know that he wasn't letting go that easily)
Jesse: We're talking to you right now so why don't you just tell us what's going on.
Devereaux: Cassandra and I are no longer together. She can give you the details suffice it to say she moved out the night before last and moved in with Rego Sherrigan. (His voice sounding sadder than his expression)
Angie: I'm sorry I didn't know. ( She apologizes concerned and confused by Cassandra's decision)
Devereaux: It's quite alright from what I've heard the two are now happily married but you would have to verify that with her or you may want to check with Sherrigan's. That's where I sent her things when I received the news since they didn't come back I assumed they belonged there.
Jesse: Wow, the girl has some sense. (He mumbles and shakes his head)
Devereaux: I beg your pardon? (Deveraux stares at him not sure he's heard correctly)
Jesse; I said it makes no sense that she would just suddenly move out and marry Rego Sherrigan.
Angie: No, it doesn't.(She nods in agreement)
Devereaux: Since the last time she stole a hundred thousand dollars from me and came to Pine Valley I've come to expect these kinds of things from Cassandra. She has a tendency to be very impetuous. At least this time the only thing I lost was my heart. (He smiles sadly receiving the same weak smile back)
Photographer: Mr St. Jacque can I get a picture of you and Mr. Lavery.
Derveaux: Certainly I'll be right with you,(He turns back to Angie and Jesse) I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Jesse: No, It's okay we appreciate your honesty. (She says turning towards Jesse taking his hand in hers)
Devereaux: If you'll excuse me.
Angie: Sure, thank you.
Devereaux: Have a good evening.(He nods his head toward them then walks away)
Jesse: Yeah, you too. (Ange turns toward Jesse looking hurt and confused)
Angie: Jesse, what is going on? Why would Cassandra just suddenly up and marry Rego Sherrigan?
Jesse: I don't know but he doesn't look like a heartbroken man to me.
Angie: Maybe she and Rego realized that they're in love and he's just hurt and covering up.
Jesse: No,no there is something else going on and has been for a while. I don't know what it is but I'm sure as hell going to find out.
