brooke/rebeka
Brooke walks through the lobby of “Cambius” heading toward the exist just as Rebeka walks through the two almost colliding.
Rebeka: Hi Brooke what are you doing here.
Brooke: Hi, just stopped in to pick up some copy for the magazine. What are you doing here?
Rebeka: JR and I have a meeting to sign the finally contracts.
Brooke: That’s great I’m glad all your hard work has paid off congratulation.
Rebeka: Thank you I wish JR would hurry up he was supposed to meet me here.
Brooke: I’m sure he’ll be here shortly I know he wouldn’t miss this.
Rebeka: I know it just the thought of having to meet with Ryan Lavery alone…never mind I’m just being silly.
Brook: Has Ryan said something to upset you?
Rebeka: No, in fact he’s been nothing but professional its just the way he looks at me… It’s kind of creepy.
Brooke: You know I think I may be able to help you with that (She starts just as JR walks up)
JR: I made it! Hey sweetie sorry I’m late.
Brooke: Hey JR.
JR: Hey Brooke good to see you.
Brooke: Nice to see you too. I hear congratulations are in order.
JR: Yeah, yeah it’s all coming together thanks to my beautiful fiancée.
Rebeka: We did it.
Brooke: Who ever did it I happy for the both of you but listen I have to get back to the office so can this in to this months issue.
JR: If you stop by the hospital let Tad know I’ll be by later.
Brooke: Sure and Rebeka I’ll call you later maybe we can go to lunch and finish our conversation.
Rebeka: I would really like that.
Brooke: I’ll see you both later.
Rebeka: Bye. Did you get a chance to see Tad?
JR: No, Opal and Ruth were in with him. I stopped and talked to Joe for a few minutes then rushed over here?
Rebeka: What did Joe say?
JR: He's going to okay physically mentally, well you know. You ready to go make history?
Rebeka: Ready as I’m going to be.
JR: Are you still feeling uncomfortable around Ryan?
Rebeka: No, I'm fine. I have to do this Uncle Oliver has always said you have to face your fears.
JR: What ever it is you and I will face them together besides, (He grins sheepishly his voice teasing) according to the call I got our meeting will be with Devereaux, Ryan had to go into the city for the Expo. (Rebeka's face notably brightens her shoulders relax as the tension leaves them)
Rebeka: Best news I've had all day shall we go up?
JR: Yeah lets get this over with if we can get out of here quick we'll have a couple of hours to kill before the boys come home. (He wriggles his brow his lips twisted in a seductive smile Rebeka blushes slightly reaching over to brush the hair from his forehead her touch sending a tingle through him where they touched his skin)
Rebeka: I like the way you, think maybe we can pick up from your favorite place on the way home, maybe get a bottle of whine to go with it? (She leans in to him rubbing the tip of her noses against his)
JR: Sounds perfect! (He kisses her gently and feels himself becoming more aroused by the moment) We better get going before we're late.
Rebeka: Okay (she pulls away picking up her case lead the way toward the elevator) The faster we get this done the faster we can get home (she pushes the button and the door opens she winks at JR as she steps in) And we can forget the lunch and just go straight home enjoying the expression on JR's face as he steps in behind her adjusting his tie then shaking out the leg of his trouser causing her to giggle as she presses the button)
Scene Shift Ryan steps out of the private elevator leading from the roof helipad to the executive suites just as Devereaux comes down the hall.
Devereaux: Ahh Ryan good you made it. How are things at the Expo?
Ryan: So far so good not that I got to see much of it before I got your call. What's going on?
Devereaux: Sorry to do this to you again but I have to take the emergency conference call from Hong Kong. This Chandler thing should only take a few moments then I'll need you to join me.
Ryan: Do you have a moment
Devereaux: a few (He says looking at his watch)
Ryan: What's going on with you?
Devereaux: What do you mean?
Ryan: First you have me take the meeting, then you have me go to New York then you have me rush back here. Is there something going on with you maybe at home? Maybe some business stuff you're not telling me?
Devereaux: Look Ryan if you must know I guess I'm a little more shaken up by the whole ordeal last night then I thought. I'm a little off my game today if you must know.
Ryan: No man, I'm so sorry! I completely understand I forgot all about what happened to you last night. My bad. Sure, sure I'll be done as quickly as possible and be right in.
Devereaux: Thanks Ryan I really appreciate it. I'll see you inside. (He turns quickly and begins to step away then reaches for the wall to steady himself. Ryan rushes to him grasping him beneath the arm and holding him up right)
Ryan: Whoa, are you sure you're okay.
Devereaux: I'll be all right. (He reaches his hand up rubbing his temple)
Ryan: No you're not all right you should go to the hospital and have yourself checked out. (His voice urgent as he guides him to a chair and sits next to him) Look, you start the meeting with Hong Kong let them know I'll be taking over and I'll be there as soon as I can.
Devereaux: I assure you I'm fine. (Devereaux leans his head back against the wall closing his eyes a moment then sits forward)
Ryan: I still think you should get yourself checked out. Almost passing out isn't something to play around with trust me on that one.
Devereaux: I'm sure it's just a little exhaustion. (He sits up opening his eyes and physically steels himself for the task ahead)
Ryan: Do me a favor please, just see the doctor? You could have picked up a virus or something. (He looks at Devereaux who looks a little less green than he had a moment ago)
Devereaux: Okay, okay if it makes you feel better I'll go have myself checked out as soon as we're finished. (He says straightens his tie then smoothes his hair) Take your time I'll be fine, (He adjusts he gate and regains his composure) I'll see you momentarily. (He walks to the board room the other's in attendance quieting as the door opens. Ryan walks towards his own office stopping by his Administrative assistant desk to leave his brief case and coat)
Administrative Asst: Mr. Lavery The Sherrigan-Chandler Group is in meeting room three.
Ryan: Thank you. (He rounds the corner and opens the door stepping through and reminding himself that she wasn't Gillian) Rebeka, JR good to see you again I have the paper work right here all the pages are marked.(He looks from Rebeka's panic face then to Ryan)
JR: I got a call that said we were meeting with Mr. St. Jacques?Ryan: Unfortunately Mr. St Jacques had an Emergency and couldn't be with us today. (He says handing a copy to each one and their lawyer then one for himself to view with the Cambius lawyer) Please take a moment to review it make sure the revisions are there. (JR and Rebeka review it quickly scanning it for all the changes they'd wanted nodding to each other then handing it to their lawyer who checks it again.)
JR: It all looks good to me what do you think? (He turns to Rebeka who smiles back at him her smile loving but there was a twitch of nervousness around the corners)
Rebeka: It looks fine. I think we are all in agreement Mr. Lavery.
Ryan: Then we have a deal. (He says taking out his pen and beginning to sign his copy Rebeka a JR following suit then passing it to the right until they were finished) JR Rebeka it's a pleasure doing business with you both. (He says shaking first JR's hand and then Rebeka's holding it just a few moments too long as their eyes lock and something strange passes between them. Rebeka pulls her hand away unconsciously wiping her palm on her skirt then picks up her brief case)
Rebeka: Thank you Mr. Lavery have a good day (Her voice trembles nervously she looks to JR)
JR: Thank you Ryan it was a pleasure doing business with you. (He gently takes her elbow leading her through the door and out in to the hall Ryan collects the documents and hands them to the attorney mumbling something in coherent as he hands him the signed contracts then heads out the door towards his other meeting. He glances towards the elevator where JR and Rebeka wait catching Rebeka’s eye before the door opens she stares at him a minute then turns away as she walks through the open elevator door in to the waiting car. Ryan watches as the door closes he reaches for the hand he’d shaken hers with still tingling where she’d touched him judging from her expression he knew she’d felt something too. Now more than ever he needed to find a way to talk to her without JR)

Jack: What did you think?
Tea: I think I have enough to put him way for the next thirty years.

Tea: Thanks Jack. I was watching the news this morning and saw that terrible accident that happened up on Oswego Ridge last night the news said it was a hit and run, any more on that?
Jack: Not much so far the police are still investigating.
Tea: I can’t believe we just went to that wedding yesterday.
Jack: Yeah I’m having a difficult time with it myself. How could so a joy filled occasion end in such tragedy?
Tea: Tad must be devastated. Were there any witnesses?
Jack: There were two actually a Mr. Devereaux St. Jacques and his driver.
Tea: That road is pretty deserted this time of year.
Jack: Yeah, I guess Tad was pretty lucky Mr. St. Jacques was there.
Tea: Why was he there?
Jack: According to the police report he and his driver got turned around coming off the highway.
Tea: So it was a case of right place right time.
Jack: It would seem that way.
Tea: But I take it you don’t think so?
Jack: I’ll just wait till they finish the investigation. Okay enough about work how are you settling in. Were you able to get in touch with realtor I gave?
Tea: Miriam, yeah she’s great she found us a beautiful place over on Summerset.
Jack: That’s not too far from where I live.
Tea: I know that’s what Miriam told me.
Jack: Well welcome to the neighborhood.
Tea: Thanks neighbor.
Jack: Maybe after court I could show you around the neighbor then we could have dinner.
Tea: That sound great but I’m not sure you’ll have time? (She says looking over the rim of her cup as she spots Erica walking into the dinning-room casually scanning it.)
Jack: I’ll make the time. (Smiling broadly openly flirting with and Tea very much enjoying the moment between them as Erica spots them then making a beeline towards them)
Tea: Ahh don’t look now but here comes your ex.
Erica: Jack! I didn’t expect to see you here.
Jack: Hello Erica you’re looking lovely as always.
Erica: Thank you Jack Tea, nice to see you again.
Tea: Nice to see you too.
Erica: Jack may I speak with you a moment, in private.
Jack: can't this wait Erica Tea and I were just catching a quick bite before we head back to the court house.
Erica: I promise this won't take long. (Erica smiles at Tea her eyes challenging as Tea's eyes gleam with a light of their ready to meet it and smirks as she reaches for her purse to retrieve her ringing cell phone saving them all from the ensuing battle
Tea: Go ahead Jack I need to get this. (She looks down at her phone)
Jack: Would you excuse me a moment please? ( He pushes out his chair and stands his eyes locking on Tea's a knowing look passing between them which startles Erica this could be real trouble an inner voice called to her)
Tea: Sure I’ll be right here. (She press the button putting it to her head. Jack open his wallet tucking money in to the folder and leaving it on the edge of the table then walks to the bar Erica walking beside him)
Jack: How can I help you Erica?
Erica: How much longer are we going to play this game?
Jack: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Erica: Please, Jack I’m not stupid do you think I haven’t figured out what you’re doing?
Jack: Why don’t you tell me exactly what it is you think I’m doing?
Erica: Using this Tea to make me jealous. I’m telling you right now it’s not going to work.
Jack: You’re right Erica it’s not going to work.
Erica: Of course it won’t. I'm not jealous. I mean Ms. Delgado is very pretty and all but really Jack?
Jack: I'm not trying to make you jealous as I've told you how many times does it make this? You and I are through I'd have to care to even want to make you jealous and I don't.
Erica: Please Jack it’s so obvious.
Jack: Only thing that is obvious is you’re delusional.
Erica: You're just trying to punish me. So okay I'll admit it I was wrong to go snooping in your life and that prank I pulled at the studio consider me punish.
Jack: I'm not punishing you the fact is Erica I don't care! You're all way such a narcosis. News flash everything everyone does isn't about you cupcake. When I told you months ago that we are done I meant it and what I do, who I see or don’t see it none of your business. Now get it through your head you and I are over I’m moving on with my life and so should you. (He grinds out his eyes spitting fire causing Erica to smirk back at him just as Tea arrives her expression urgent cutting of any reply Erica may have had)
Tea: Jack I just got a call from the courthouse the jury is back.
Jack: We’d better get going. (Taking a quick peak at his watch) Good-bye Erica.
Tea: Good-bye Erica. (Her tone dismissive giving Erica that eerie feeling she'd had earlier then shakes it off when she catches Jackson's eye again as he exists the Inn)
Erica: Bye! Oh Jack your mouth may be saying we’re over but your eyes say you’re lying through your teeth.
Kendall: Who’s lying through their teeth Mother? (Her eyes following Erica’s as she watches Jack and Tea then back to her Mother) Oh come on when is this going to stop?

Jesse and Griff 04/04/2013
Jesse sits in his car outside Krystal & Carmen’s staring down at the report he’d gotten from the FBI then folds it sticking it inside his pocket. He still hadn’t told Frankie anything yet but first things first he needed to talk to Griff. He exists the car slamming the door behind him then walks inside. He looks around the restaurant it was still early just a little after opening the place was practically empty and no sign of Krystal or Carmen good. He sit’s down at the counter and slaps the top.
Jesse: Hey anybody home?
Griff: Hey Jesse! (He calls from the back wiping his hands on a towel as he comes through the door) Hey what’s going on? (Extends his hand and Jesse shakes it)
Jesse: Nothing much I though maybe I’d come in and talk to you for a few minutes.
Griff: Why something up? (His suspicions raised)
Jesse: No nothing just some family issue I need to bounce off some body. Maybe you could join me for a cup of coffee?
Griff: Sure, let me just let Carlos know. (He opens the door to the kitchen calling back to his helper as Jesse moves to a table. Griff quickly pours two cups placing them on a try with a small picture of milk and two spoons then carries them to the table placing one in front of Jesse and one in front of the empty seat across from him. He places the tray at the end of the table then sits down) so what’s going on Jesse how can I help?
Jesse: Well there’s no other way to do this so I’m just going to say it.
Griff: Say what?
Jesse: I know that you’re Randi’s father.
Griff: Nah, I don’t have any kids chief. (He grins broadly then shrugs)
Jesse: Randi has a very rare blood type and a few months back there was a shortage at the hospital you went to the blood lab and you donated the night we talked. (Griff stares at him then shrugs sipping his coffee coolly giving away nothing)
Griff: So, lots of people donate blood. I just felt bad and did my civic duty.
Jesse: There’s more I had a sample of your DNA and Randi’s compared you’re her father. There’s no point lying I know.
Griff: You stole my DNA? (He glares at Jesse his look full of venom)
Jesse: I didn’t steal it I used the tissues you bled on the day you cut your hand then I stole Randi’s toothbrush.
Griff: Have you told her yet?
Jesse: No, you’re the first person I’ve told. (Griff looks at him his expression surprised then confused)
Griff: You came to me first why?
Jesse: I want to understand why you would want to keep that a secret?
Griff: Can’t you guess?
Jesse: Why don’t you tell me?
Griff: Because I’m a criminal and I’ve been to prison.
Jesse: Come on man Randi doesn’t care about stuff like that. She’s had her own ruff times.
Griff: Yeah I know and it’s all because of me. It’s my fault she grew up in foster homes, my fault she was a prostitute, my fault her mother died all of that there, is on me.
Jesse: What happened to you?
Griff: Randi’s mother and I we ran off we ended up here in Pine Valley. I drove a cab for a while went. Then I got a job at the steel mill and I was lucky to get that I barley-finished high school. All and all things were fine we even saved up money got a little place over on Maple Shade. We were so happy baby on the way I was king of the world. (He smiles laughing bitterly thinking back) Then not too long after Randi was born I got up one morning went to work got told the mill was closing down they were moving all operations to Japan.
Jesse: Oh man. (He moans his heart feeling his pain remember his own past when he and Angie had run off with Frankie)
Griff: I got a couple of part time jobs but it wasn’t enough, money was tight mortgage was due, newborn baby I was desperate. (He moans) She begged me not to go. She told me that if I did and if I got caught I would never see her or our baby ever again. I kept trying to convince her we wouldn’t get caught and when I got back we’d be living like kings! (His eyes well with tear his voice becoming tight) I was supposed to be the wheelman because when I first came to town I drove cabs and knew the streets. They caught us about two blocks from the place. And Larisa, she was true to her word I never saw her again. I kind of held out hope there for a while but when she wasn’t at my arraignment, not at my trail not at my sentencing. I got the hint. (His chuckle edged with the bitterness he felt)
Jesse: How did you know Randi was your daughter she was just an infant when you left.
Griff: I’d know my baby anywhere she looks just like her mother besides, Mrs. Crawford she lived next door she’d send me pictures every now and then till Randi was about four going on five then they just stopped. I just assumed she had died or something.
Jesse: She may have around that time a tornado hit Pine Valley Maple Shade was all tore up.
Griff: After that I lost track of them both (He finishes look down at the table then back at Jesse) till Carmen started teaching at the prison. (He smiles for the first time since they started talking)
Jesse: Is that why you took the job here with Carmen? (His voice sounding more cop than he had intended)
Griff: I was scheduled to come here after I was released long before I knew she was a friend of Randi’s. I wouldn’t do that to her Carmen’s been good to me. I didn’t find out about that till a week before they put Ryan in my cell.
Jesse: Glad to here that. (He says with a sigh his gut telling him Griff was being honest)
Griff: So where do we go from here? (His voice resigned and filled with sorrow. Jesse leans forward his voice firm but compassionate)
Jesse: You’re going to talk to your daughter and tell her who you are I can’t keep this a secret from my family correction, (He smiles) our family for much longer Frankie is already breathing down my neck.
Griff: Frankie knows? (His eyes wide with surprise)
Jesse: Frankie suspects he doesn’t know anything for sure (He watches as the tension leaves Griff’s face) but I’m not going to be able to hold him off for too much longer. (Griff places his hand against his hand on his forehead then rubs his temple then sighs)
Griff: Just give me a couple of days.
Jesse: Just do me a favor please? Let me know before you do it?
Griff: No problem.
Jesse: Thanks, (He looks at his watch then stands) listen I got to get over to the office I have a ton of paper work to get through. (He begins to shrug in to his jacket)
Griff: Hey Jesse thank for coming to me first.
Jesse: No problem (He says reaching out and shaking his hand) I’ll catch you later.
Griff: Take care man!

Randi, Cassandra Francessca & Rego
Randi sits in a chair by the window thumbing through a magazine enjoying the warmth of the sunshine streaming through the window as Cassandra walks in her room.
Cassandra: Hey! How are doing. (She leans in giving her cheek a quick kiss)
Randi: Better and better each day how are you? (She smiles back)
Cassandra: Like you better each day. (She pulls the chair closer to her and sits down next to her)
Randi: So why don’t you tell me about what’s going on with you.
Cassandra: Not much. (She says trying not to sound evasive)
Randi: So I take from that big grin on your face your very happy with your new life.
Cassandra: Never been happier. (Thinking about Rego the real reason she came to the hospital)
Randi: So tell me about this Mr. St. Jacque.
Cassandra: There’s nothing really to tell. He’s rich, handsome, and generous with his money and he loves me what more does a girl need. (She says with a shrug and a giggle)
Randi: You never said if you loved him.
Cassandra: What do you think?
Randi: I think you’re avoiding my question.
Cassandra: Of course I do silly, (Her smile not very convincing to Randi’s eyes who decides to let the matter drop) enough about me how are you feeling?
Randi: I’m doing okay a little achy and my heart is feeling heavy after what happened to Tad and Taylor.
Cassandra: Yeah I saw that on the news. (She checks her watch she still had fifteen minutes before she had to meet Rego)
Randi: I still haven’t been able to warp it around my head around the fact that she’s gone. Her voice sullen her eyes welling with tears)
Cassandra: I couldn’t believe it either.
Randi: I thought I heard on the news that it was your boyfriend that found them.
Cassandra: Yeah he was pretty shaken up when he came in last night.
Randi: I can only imagine.
Natalia: Hey! What’s going on! (She walks in the room with a cheery smile)
Randi: I’m good!
Natalia: Nothing much. Hey Cassandra.
Cassandra: Hey what’s up girl?
Natalia: Nothing really tired. (She sits on the edge of the bed leans back and yawns)
Randi: Yeah it was a long night for you. How are the Thompson’s?
Natalia: Devastated Brot and I spent most of the evening with them.
Randi: I’m sure they were happy to have you both there.
Natalia: Have you heard anything about Tad? (Rubbing her eye as she sits up)
Randi: Frankie was here this morning and he said came out of the surgery fine, but emotional he’s a wreck.
Natalia: Who could blame him? You finally marry the love of your life and then to have this happen.
Cassandra: It’s awful. (She sighs stealing a peek at her watch)
Randi: How’s Brot doing he must be really torn up.
Natalia: He’s holding up but I can tell he’s hurting. How’s your new boyfriend (She turns towards watching her expression closely) according to Brot he’s the one that called it in.
Cassandra: He was really upset by it all he came straight in had a drink and went to bed. (She shrugs keeping her expression as blank as possible)
Natalia: Well it was lucky for Tad that he came along this time of year no one takes that road what was he doing up there anyway? (She pushes hoping for some tell tail sign)
Cassandra: He said he got turned around coming off the highway. (She shrugs knowing without being told there was more than what he’d told her, yet something in her expression raising Natalia’s suspicions making her dig further)
Natalia: Doesn’t he have GPS?
Cassandra: I guess it wasn’t working. (Annoyance edging her voice before she catches herself) What are we talking about this for we’re supposed to be here cheering Randi not sitting around talking about depressing stuff.
Natalia: Girls got a point (She decides not to push further) so let me tell you what happened when Frankie tried to give the kids a bath last night…(Francessca walks to the door to Randi’s room then pauses a moment when she hears voices and laughter coming from the other side. She frowns a moment recognizing Cassandra’s laugh and decides against going in. The last thing she needed today was to have to make nice with that skank. She turns and heads back down the hall towards the elevator past the nurses station)
Nurse: Hey Francessca!
Francessca: Oh hi Linda how are Stacey and Mat?
Nurse: Just great I was hoping I would see you today I have some stuff I collected for your art class I was going to drop off during my lunch but then one of the other nurses called out so I had to take her shift.
Francessca: I was on my way over there now I can drop it off for you.
Nurse: Would you? That would be great. (She reaches behind the counter and hands her several plastic shopping bags)
Francessca: Sure.
Nurse: Thanks you so much.
Francessca: Thank you for all this great stuff and a lot of it. (She peaks inside the bag then closes it)
Nurse: It’s not too much can you handle it all?
Francessca: Sure no worries thanks again. (She sling the bags over her arm then walks towards the elevators and struggles to push the button as one of the bags rips as the door slides open.
Rego: Here let me get that for you (He crouches to the floor picking up the newspapers littering the floor)
Francessca: Thanks.
Rego: What is all this?
Francessca: Art supplies for the Miranda center. Thanks I got it.
Rego: Let me at least help you get I all to your car.
Francessca: I can manage,
Rego: I insist what happens if you drop it all again. (She looks at his skeptically) I promise I won’t bite.
Francessca: Thank you.
Rego: After you. (He says holding the elevator door so she can step in then walking in behind her) My father told me what happened to Taylor. I’m truly sorry for your family’s loss.
Francessca: Thank you.
Rego: How is Tad?
Francessca: As well as can be expected under the circumstances.
Rego: How are you doing?
Francessca: I’m tired and a little crampy. (Suddenly the elevator jerks to a halt knocking them both to the floor)
Rego: What the hell was that?
Francessca: I don’t know?
Rego: Are you all right?
Francessca: I think so (She says trying to stand she leaning against the wall for support then doubles over) Oh my God!
Rego: Are you okay? What wrong?
Francessca: My water just broke! (She pants looking down at the elevator floor his eyes following hers his face filling with panic)
Rego: What does that mean?
Francessca: It means the baby is coming! (She pants holding her tummy as a contraction grips her)
Rego: Oh good lord! Hold on I’m going to get some help! (He says pressing the emergency alarm then opens the small box on the button panel waits for someone to answer)
Voice: Pine Valley Hospital Security. (Bored voice drones through the speaker)
Rego: I’m trapped in the elevator with a pregnant woman who has just gone in to labor.
Voice: Okay sir which elevator are you in?
Rego: How the bloody hell should I know can’t you hear the alarm ringing!
Voice: Sir, calm down we need to know which car you’re in look above the control panel and read me the numbers from the plate.
Rego: It’s one four seven eight zero.
Voice: Okay sir I’ll send building maintenance ASAP.
Rego: Thank you please hurry! Are you all right what can I do?
Francessca: Do you have a second hand on your watch?
Rego: Yes.
Francessca: When I tell you I need you to keep count.
Rego: What am I counting?
Francessca: We need to time the contraction.
Rego: Okay you let me know when.
Francessca: Now! (She groans between gritted teeth)
Scene switch Cassandra walks out of Randi’s room just in tome to see Rego and Francessca stepping in to the elevator and her annoyance begins to boil. He was supposed to be meeting her and her she was again ruining her plans! Every time she turned around that bitch was with Rego! For a woman that couldn’t stand the man she sure made it her business to spend as much time with him as possible! She moves quickly to the elevator pressing the button with a frenzied fury then decides to wait where she was for a few minutes she didn’t want to miss him. She begins to walk away from the doors just as the alarm inside the shaft goes off making her jump)
Cassandra: What’s going on? (She says turning towards the maintenance workers rushing towards her)
Worker: Excuse me ma’am we need to get in here!
Cassandra: Why what happened?
Worker the elevator is trapped between floors.
Cassandra: All this for a broken elevator? (She smirks looking around at the crowd on maintenances’ workers)
Worker: There’s a woman trapped inside and she’s gone in to labor. (Oh my God! She thought the blood rushing from her cheeks as the realization of what was happening hit her. Francessca and Rego were the ones trapped inside and if he was there when that baby was born there would be no separating them ever)
Cassandra: You have to get them out of there NOW!Friday, March 15, 2013
Kendall , Annie and Ryan 03/15/2013
Kendall finishes putting the last few touches on the stage then steps back to admire her handy work.
Kendall: Perfect! (She stands back admiring her work)
Annie: Absolutely perfect! (She says smilingly brightly)
Kendall: Hey! (She leans in hugging her) You like?
Annie: It’s great it’s exactly what I wanted! Thank you so much! (She says hugging her again)
Kendall: No thank you! I had such a good time working on this!
Annie: I can’t wait to see Amanda do her walk around on it!
Kendall: Me either but I didn’t think Amanda was even coming?
Annie: She didn’t leave me any messages I’m sure she’ll be here.
Kendall: I heard about what happened on the news I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come.
Annie: So was I.
Amanda: I’m here! I’m here! (She says running up to the two of them out of breath carrying a clothing bag) Sorry I’m late but we hit a lot of traffic coming from the heliport.
Annie: You’re fine you have plenty of time! I’m just really glad you made it! (She says hugging her)
Amanda: So am I. I wasn’t sure I should. (Her voice becoming solemn for a moment as she thinks about last nights events)
Kendall: What changed your mind?
Amanda: Jamie and Francessca, they made me realize how important this was not just to me but, to my family. Everyone but Jake that is but, (anger edging her voice) I can’t think about that right now I need to concentrate on the presentation. (Before she shakes it off putting Jake to the back of her mind)
Annie: That’s right and you’re going to be great! Why don’t you go get ready and we’ll have a quick run through before the opening.
Amanda: Okay I’ll be back in five. (She smiles walking towards the dressing room)
Annie: Great!
Kendall: Well I’m done here I should getting back. (She place her folders back in her briefcase and closes it)
Annie: Thanks Kendall it looks great you did a fantastic job.
Ryan: I couldn’t agree more. (He walks up behind them)
Annie: Ryan! What are you doing here? I thought you weren’t coming till later?
Ryan: The meeting Devereaux and I had scheduled so I was able to get here earlier than I expected.
Annie: That’s great Amanda just got here. She went in to the back to change and then we’re going to do a run through before we open.
Kendall: Well I’m going to get going.
Annie: Kendall thank you again everything looks great!
Kendall: You’re welcome I really enjoyed doing it.
Stage Hand: Ms. Mc Dermott may I speak with you a moment please?
Annie: Sure. Kendall I’ll see you soon. (Kendal picks up her purse and briefcase and starts to walk past Ryan)
Kendall: Have a good day Ryan. (He reaches out and grasps her elbow stopping her)
Ryan: Kendall before you go can I talk to you a moment?
Kendall: I really need to get going I don’t want to miss my train. (She looks down at her watch and then back at him her eyes cold)
Ryan: This will only take a minute.
Kendall: I’m really pressed for time Ryan I have to get back home so I can pick up Spike and Ian from school.
Ryan: How’s Spike doing?
Kendall: He’s fine not that it’s any of your concern anymore. (Her voice as frosty as her expression)
Ryan: I just wanted to apologize to you for everything that happened.
Kendall: Fine, is that it?
Ryan: I was hoping we could go back to being friends. (He huffs his voice almost pleading as Kendall’s eyes narrow to slits)
Kendall: I honestly don’t see that happening Ryan. After everything that’s you did to me and my family I don’t think we could ever go back to the way it was.
Ryan: Well then maybe we could start fresh?
Kendall: I don't thinks so. She says shutting him down her expression closed)
Ryan: I think if Greenlee were here she’d want us to at least try.
Kendall: Don’t you dare bring up Greenlee!
Ryan: But Greenlee was a part of this. I was just in so much pain after she died I convinced myself I needed to avenge her. (Kendall stares at him shocked in to silence for a moment as her anger comes full force)
Kendall: Nothing you did had anything to do with Greenlee it was all about you and your need to punish everyone because of your pain. She hates what you became!
Ryan: I know, I know and I’m really sorry for everything I did. (He pleads)
Kendall: I can’t talk about this right now I need to go. (She shifts her purse on her shoulder and picks up her satchel)
Ryan: At least promise you’ll think about it.
Kendall: There’s nothing to think about Ryan you and I will never be friends again. Now if you I have to go. (She says pushing past him and heading for the exist. Ryan watches as she walks hurriedly toward to exist and through the doors to the waiting car. He turns looking at the stage she’d created and feeling remorse for reputable damage he done to their relationship. He missed her friendship more than he’d thought. He could hear her words echoing in his head “She hates what you became!” but it wasn’t so much how she said it but what she’d said if Greenlee was dead, why had she used the present tense?)
