GH: 8/12/08 Claudia runs into Nickolas in the park while out running.
They were talking just as it went on the show, and instead of Claudia telling her father that she'd be on her way when he calls she hangs up. Anthony has someone already fallowing her
and gets pissed she hung up, so he immediately calls the tracker and tells him to fire at Claudia, not kill just fire. Nickolas spots the shooter before she does and leaps at Claudia so she
doesn't get shot. The gun man runs away as they tumble to the ground; thinking he just shot a warning shot but really Nickolas got hit with the bullet in the process of saving Claudia.
They linger for a minute, but then right before Claudia goes in to kiss him, Nickolas gets up. He's eyes go wide noticing the blood on Claudia, she looks down and checks if she's been
shot, and as she looks up realizing it wasn't her Nickolas falls backwards. Claudia immediately fishes for Nickolas' phone because hers got crushed in the process of the fall.
The whole ride to the hospital Claudia's just sitting quietly staring at Nickolas as the EMT's work on Nickolas as he slips in and out of consciousness. Claudia in her head, "How does he
know? Daddy always knows, he just always knows, I can't even think of having a single moment of happiness!" Nurse Nadine, "Claudia? Claudia! What happen? Claudia, you have to answer
me we need to know what happen." Claudia snaps out of her thoughts, "What? Oh, we um…We were just talking, then next thing I know Nickolas jumps at me and I fall backwards off
the bench and he has landed on top of me. It happen so quick, I didn't even realize what happen. I…We …didn't know anyone was hurt, it wasn't until his eyes went wide that I knew
something was wrong. I looked down to see what he was starring at, there was blood…" She looks down and notices she's still covered in blood. Nurse Nadine, "Then what happened,
what did you do? I mean maybe the shooter was after you and…" Claudia's eyes snap back up with fire in them and Nurse Nadine immediately knows she's said something wrong, "You
think I did this! Nickolas is the only one who I…" Claudia shut her mouth just as quick as she opened it because she realized she was about to actually admit feelings for someone other
than her brother out loud. Claudia shoots up so fast out of her seat she startles Nurse Nadine, "You know what when Nickolas wakes up tell him…Never mind, I um…I have to go." Before
Nurse Nadine even has the chance to interject Claudia is out the hospital door.
It's been two days since the "park incident" and Claudia hasn't even so much as called the hospital to check on Nickolas. It's been driving her crazy not knowing how Nickolas is, whether
he survived, where her brother and that bitch Lulu are. But the one thing she does know is that her father is getting desperate in knowing where Johnny is because daddy's calls seem to
come like every hour and he's even being kind when he calls. The last call he said, "I just want to have a nice family dinner with my only daughter." Claudia laughs just thinking about that
call, but she stops when there's a knock at the door. She exit's the bathroom in her robe, headed for the door and was shocked with the people she found on the opposite side of the
door. Nanny, "I'm sorry, he insisted we come here. I don't even believe he truly knows who you are Ms. Zaccarah." Claudia ushers them in and fallows them to the couch, "Spencer what
are you doing here? I don't think your daddy will appreciate you making your nanny go…" Spencer jumps up and looks as if he's about to cry, "but I had to find you! I heard you and daddy
talking one day, so I remember your name and you didn't even let daddy tell you what to do. I knew that if you didn't let daddy tell you what to do that you'd help me get pass the nurses
to see him." Spencer looks down at the floor, and Claudia pats the couch for him to sit next to her, "Spencer I know you probably really want to see your daddy but if the nurses say you
can't it might be for…" Spencer's started crying and Claudia feels so bad for him, he reminds her of John a little and so she caves, "fine. Just let me go finish getting dressed okay?"
Spencer lights up like a kid on Christmas morning, "Yay! Thank you, thank you! I don't get why Mrs. Elizabeth said you were bad for daddy?" Claudia stops and turns towards him, "she
did, did she?" Spencer shakes his head up and down, "but that's okay because daddy is a prince and I always hear Mrs. Elizabeth say how you're a "my fair" (he means mafia) princess so
you and daddy belong together, like in my books." Spencer's smiling at Claudia, and she smiles back before turning back towards her bedroom.
Nanny, "Ms. Zaccarah, I don't think this is a good idea. Mr. Cassidine has specific days for me to take off, and he said he was sorry that he's going to have to depend on me a lot while he
recovers. I could use a break, not that I don't love taking care of young Cassidine, but…" Claudia finishes strapping Spencer in the backseat, "really, it's fine trust me." The nanny doesn't
get much more time to argue because Claudia is now climbing into the driver seat of her car. Claudia was driving and thinking, "what am I going to do with a kid all day, well that's if I can
even sneak him in the hospital room." Claudia glances in the mirror to check on Spencer who's in the back singing to himself while reading a book. Claudia is still in a daze when her phone
rings, she looks at the caller id and was glade she did because it's her father, "no way in hell am I about to let him mess up this feeling right now" she pushes the ignore button and
continues driving to the hospital.
