GH2005. 13 -- SURPRISE
Robin Scorpio waits outside Jason's office quietly as he talks with an
employee.
Jason:"So, I just wanted to say great job on the McKeally job, Landers. You
and the misses are a hell of a team."
Landers smiles."We have a good boss. Okay, I'll get started on the next job.
Shouldn't take more than a day or so. I'll check in a little later."
Jason nods."As soon as you hear something. (He notices Robin) Come on in, baby."
Landers."Hello, Ms. Scorpio."
Robin smiles. "Stop, I've told you a thousand times to call me Robin."
Landers kisses her hand."You're a lady. I still call my Janice, Mrs.Landers
on occasion."
Robin laughs."You're such a joker. (Turning to Jason) And you said none of
your employees have personality."
Jason shakes his head."I said most of them don't. It's not a required trait.
Lucky for me, both Mr. and Mrs. Landers have both skill and personality."
Landers excuses himself. Jason pulls Robin to him and kisses her gently.
"How did you know I needed to see you?"
Robin groans. "I could lie and say I just knew but the truth is-- I have to
leave town for a couple days."
Jason cups her chin in his hand."Why?"
Robin smiles mysteriously."I have business for the hospital. Lucky Spencer
has to go do some business for Nikolas, so I'll be flying first class."
Jason:"I could go with you. Where did you say you were going?"
Robin smiles."I didn't. I'm going to Venezuela. There's a new medicine there
I need to check out for the hospital."
Jason looks at her intently. "Why are you lying to me?"
Robin shifts uneasily."Jason, please, I can explain more when I get back.
Trust me."
Jason kisses her cheek gently. "I do trust you, Baby. That's why you don't
have to lie to me. I'll leave it alone. You keep in touch and stay safe."
Robin throws her arms around him."Thank you."
Jason:"For what?"
Robin:" Just for being you. I love you."
Jason kisses her. "I love you too."

Laura Spencer picks up the phone."Hello?"
Veronica Bowles: "Mrs. Cassadine, I was wondering if you or your sons might
have a quote regarding the recent bit of information that's fallen across
my desk. Seems Lucky Spencer was spotted leaving Gina Quartermaine's hotel
room early this morning with Nikolas Cassadine right behind him. Neither of
your sons appeared happy."
Laura sighs."No comment."
She hangs up the phone as the doorbell rings. Lucky walks into the room and
Laura stares at him."What were you thinking?"
Lucky cocks an eyebrow at her."Um, Hi Mom, glad to see you too. I'm fine
really."
Laura:"Stop the wise cracks. My favorite reporter just called and asked if I
had a comment on you leaving Gina's room this morning with Nikolas behind you."
Lucky hisses angrily."That wench needs her mouth stapled. Does she follow us?"
Laura motions for him to take a seat and she joins him."Lucky, she isn't the
topic of discussion right now. What were you doing in Gina's hotel room all
night?"
Lucky blushes."Do I really need to draw you a picture?"
Laura leans toward him."Do you find this funny? I don't. I'm sure A.J. won't
and he will be that woman's next phone call. I'm positive Nikolas finds no
humor in this."
Lucky sighs."Always about Nikolas, isn't it? He's the one who upset her.
He's the one traipsing in and out of Katherine Bell's hotel room, but you're
jumping on my case."
Laura looks at him hard."Gina is Nikolas ex- wife."
Lucky rolls his eyes."I know; I was at the wedding. Mom, this really isn't
any of your business. Hell! I just came by to tell you, I'm heading to
Venezuela for a few days. I didn't expect the riot act."
Laura:"Venezuela? Lucky, you should've known better than to take advantage
of Gina. On top of that, you know how your brother feels about her."
Lucky:"You knew how Dad felt about Stefan but you bedded him."
Laura raises her eyes and Lucky immediately apologizes."Sheesh Mom, I didn't
mean that. I'm sorry. God, I really am sorry."
Laura:"It's obvious we aren't going to reach common ground on this. I'm
disappointed in you Lucky. (She sees his face fall) Promise me you'll be
careful in Venezuela. I take it it's on Cassadine business."
Lucky nods."Yeah, I won't be gone long. Hell, I think everyone needs some
distance from me right now anyway." He stands."Bye Mom."
Laura rises and hugs him."I love you. You aggravate me sometimes, but I love
you so much, Lucky."
Lucky hugs her."I know Mom; I love you too."
................
Scott knocks on the hotel room door; Katherine answers. She pulls him in
quickly. Katherine:"Anyone see you?"
Scott laughs."Relax. (Holds out a package) This is what you requested. You
really think you already are?"
Katherine takes the package."I planned this very carefully: sleeping with
him on my most fertile days and with a nice big whole in my diaphragm. I
should be pregnant."
She goes into the bathroom and Scott turns on the TV."Lucy looks great. She
took Serena shopping. I'm going to meet them for dinner in a couple of hours."
Katherine calls from the bathroom."Oh how Hallmark for you. What about Kevin?"
Scotty:"He's not going to be a problem. We still have magic, Luce and I.
Serena took to her easily and god knows, Lucy loves her. We play our cards
right; we'll both have what we want. So, how's the little whippersnapper?"
Katherine joins him in the room."Sexier than he was as a teenager. Hung up
on his ex wife, but definitely still infatuated with me. "
Scott:"I thought you liked the kid."
Katherine smiles."I love him. He's wonderful and he'll make a great father.
Not to mention ,Stefan will hate it when I marry him."
Scott"Not bitter I see."
Katherine glares at him."He dumped me for his precious Lasha. I should never
have fallen for him. Anyway, ancient history. I need to check the test."
Scott:"Well, I'm praying for you. We need this to work. What's the chance I
knocked you up anyway?"
Katherine calls from the bathroom."Does it matter? I thought we agreed it
was just a precaution. (She squeals) It worked. I'm pregnant."
Scott hugs her as she comes out."We're having a baby. You, the kid Casanova,
and me."
Katherine laughs."Nikolas and I are having a baby. You're fawning over that
woman."
Scott:"Love, Kathy. You should try it sometime."
Katherine:"I have and all it got me was a crystal tree around my neck."
................
At the airport a pretty brunette woman, thirty but not showing it, exits the
plane with a young brunette child in tow. The child breaks free, running
toward the baggage claim. The woman calls after her."Sonni! Sonni come back
here. Sonia Robin Jacks! Get back here now." The child stops and heads back
to her mother who smacks her rear sharply."You know better than to run off.
Someone could hurt you."
Sonni looks up at her mother with her big aqua marine eyes."I'm sorry,
Momma. I was just in a hurry."
Brenda stares back at her daughter and smiles."I know, honey, but you have
to be careful."
Sonni:"Mom, why do you look so sad?"
Brenda feels the memories of Sonny wash over her as she sighs."Just thinking
about someone who used to live here, honey."
Sonni laughs."Live in an airport?"
Brenda laughs as she takes her hand."No silly. . . in Port-Charles. Come
along; we have lots of things to do to today."
Just as she steps into her limo another plane is about to take off.
...........
The Cassadine jet
Robin buckles up and smiles at Lucky."I'm glad I won't be alone on the trip."
Lucky buckles his seatbelt."It's none of my business, but why are you going
to Venezuela and why isn't Jason coming with you?"
Robin sighs as the plane begins to take off."It's a long story, Lucky."
Lucky smiles and hands her a soda."It's a long flight."
..............
Late that night a person dressed in black enters the Baldwin house quietly.
He's careful not to trip any alarms and moves easily around the home. He
begins to place a few valuables in his bag when he hears someone behind him.
Turning around, he shoots Lee Baldwin with his silenced weapon. Lee moans
before dropping to the floor. Gail Baldwin appears in the doorway. Before
she can scream, the robber shoots her quickly and then removes the wedding
bands from their fingers. He exits the house quickly. As he's leaving, he
trips the alarm. He is long gone before the police arrive and before anyone
can see him.
