1/6/2012 Episode Tag
I've been encouraged to continue these short episode tags, so here is another. It's more filler than a tag, since the episode ended on a cliff hanger reveal.
Ewen enters the car and the soothing sounds of Gregorian Chant surround him. He closes the door and relaxes into the rich dark interior. It still has that new car sent. He unplugs from his cell phone, turning it off for a few moments of peace.
He pulls the car out of General Hospital's parking ramp and guns it towards the harbor. He has to get to Spoon Island. His spies told him that Cassandra needs his attention once more. She's aptly named he thinks, now instead of just having to worry about Ethan Lovett, there is a new man wandering around Wyndemere, Damien Spinelli, the man who was there the night Elizabeth almost drowned.
At the time he was grateful that Spinelli stepped in to finish rescuing her. Ruefully, he has to admit that now he's a tad envious of that. Oh he loved her shocked smile when he asked her what she thought about him taking the job at GH. He enjoys teasing her. She might become too much of a distraction but right now he just doesn't care.
He could have hid in the shower for just a few moments and let her conversation with Monica end, they would have both left the locker room and he could have gone one day without seeing her. No, not him. He never hides, at least, not unless it's useful. He couldn't stand the way Monica was speaking to her, the tone, the anger, but more importantly, who ever this Jason is, Ewen thinks, as he goes through a yellow light a bit faster than is prudent, Elizabeth already has a new rescuer. No one else need apply.
That reminds him that he hasn't checked in about this evening. He flips on his phone and makes a quick call, "Something has come up with Cassandra, I still expect to be there by eight. … Yes, yes, it's all under control, no worries. … I'll catch you up at eight. Have a grilled tuna steak and some of the Hahn Premium ready for me. Thanks." He flips the cell to silent and finds himself wondering if Elizabeth likes beer.
"I've got to stop thinking about her," he says chagrined.
At the harbor he pulls his car into boat house number 11 and parks. The electronic door shuts behind him, no one would know the car was there, unless they saw him enter. He jumps into the boat he's been using to access the island, opens the electronic door on the harbor side and pulls away from the hidden dock. "Let's go see what mess Cassandra is in now."
