Chapter III: Out of the Frying Pan
Elizabeth snuck into the General Hospital lab. She was in search of whatever it was that Britt and her new friend were up to. Elizabeth was convinced that they were plotting against Nikolas, she would not let that happen. In hindsight, she figured that this was probably not the case, but no one talked to her the way that kid did. She walks in and walks directly into Brad.
"Hey Elizabeth. What are you doing in my lab?" Brad asks. Elizabeth is frozen. Brad was Britt's best friend. There was no way that he would betray Britt and tell her the information she needed. Elizabeth knew that she needed to lie. Elizabeth scoffs.
"Britt needs you upstairs." Elizabeth lies. Brad looks at her in disbelief.
"And she had you come get me?" Brad challenges.
"We're working on the same patient. I'm hoping not to see her lying face as much as possible." Elizabeth presses. Brad nods in understanding. He walks upstairs. Elizabeth sighs and runs in. She goes into the lab and walks straight to Brad's computer. Elizabeth searches for the most recent test being run that was connected to Westbourne. Elizabeth stops in surprise.
"Ellison Scott, age 15. He tested his DNA against, Sonny Corinthos." Elizabeth noted. Elizabeth noted, before a smirk appeared on her face. She knew exactly what to do with this information.
Spinelli looked shocked as he looked at his computer screen. Tessa frowns.
"What's the matter Spinelli?" She asks.
"Well, Princess of Mystery, the file has been opened at the hospital by Nurse Webber. I thought Ellison said that Dr. Westbourne was going to be the one helping you?" He wonders. Ellison sits back.
"Wait a second, Webber? Webber who?" He asks.
"Elizabeth Webber." Sam answers. Ellison sighs. "Wait, you know her?" Sam questions. Ellison nods.
"Unfortunately, I had a little dispute with her at the hospital. I may have just messed with the wrong woman." Ellis worries. Sam sighs.
"Truth be told, and I don't mean to talk bad about Elizabeth, but she can have a mean streak to her." Sam informs. Ellison hangs his head in frustration. Tessa crawls over to her brother and pats him on the back.
"Don't worry. Everything is going to be fine Ellison. We are going to find Dad." Tessa comforted him. Ellison nodded, but was filled with doubt.
Sonny was at his restaurant, he had been called by his men to deal with an urgent issue. Being the patriarch of a mob, he had to be available to handle issues that arose. He was in his back room, talking to his men about a shipment.
"Is there anything else, boss?" One of his men asked. Sonny nodded.
"There are these two kids who are in Port Charles. I don't know why, but I feel like they are up to something. I want you to find out their names, and then find out all you can about them." Sonny ordered. The man looked at his boss in confusion.
"Do you know where we can find them?" The man asked. Sonny nodded.
"The Metro Court." Sonny answered. The man nodded. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. He motioned to his second man, Max. Max nodded and silently went to the door. He opened it, and in came Sonny's girlfriend, the mother of his first child, Olivia Falconeri. She walked in with a strut and stopped when she noticed that Sonny seemed to be dealing with something important.
"Oh, am I interrupting something?" Olivia asked. Sonny shook his head and nodded towards his men. They left silently and closed the door to give the two privacy.
"So, what's up?" Sonny asks. Olivia takes a deep breath.
"I've just been thinking about Connie. I'm also just worried about this whole custody battle between Dante, Lulu, and Maxie. They're supposed to be friends. All this will do is destroy their friendship." Olivia admits. Sonny chuckles.
"Well, if Maxie was really their friend, she would have told them the truth from the beginning." Sonny snaps. Olivia's eyes widen.
"Whoa, I had no idea how passionate you were about this whole thing?" Olivia teases. Sonny smiles at her.
"it's not that, something else is bothering me." Sonny states. Olivia remains silent. "Truth be told, I saw these two teenagers at the Metro Court yesterday. For some reason, they set off some serious alarms." Sonny admits. Olivia looks at him with an eyebrow raised.
"Really Sonny, you're upset about two new kids who came to town?" Olivia mocks. Sonny sighs.
"It's just, something about them seems familiar. The boy reminds me of someone, I can't put my fingers on it." Sonny observes. Olivia places a comforting hand on Sonny's shoulder. "It's not just the boy, his sister too. I looked into her eyes, and I could have sworn, I've seen them before. Eh, it's nothing, I have Max looking into it." Sonny continues.
Sonny's phone vibrates on his desk. Sonny walks over to it and picks it up. "Hello?" Sonny greets.
"Hey Sonny, this is Elizabeth. I'm calling you from the Hospital." Sonny frowns.
"Hello Elizabeth. Is everything okay? Are one of my kids hurt?" Worry filled Sonny to his core.
"Goodness, no. Sorry to worry you. I just wanted to tell you that the tests that were run earlier today came back negative." Elizabeth explains. Sonny narrows his eyes in confusion.
"What test?" Sonny asks. On the other line, Elizabeth smiles.
"The DNA Test that was run on you and Ellison Scott." Elizabeth answers. Sonny takes a deep breath as anger courses through him.
"Okay. Thank you. Bye." He hangs up and calls Carly.
"Hey Sonny, what's up?" He heard the blonde's voice. Sonny turns to Olivia and motions for a minute.
"Hey Carly, those two kids that checked in last night. Was one of them Ellison Scott?" Sonny asks.
"Yes. Why? Does that mean something?" Carly asks. Sonny shakes his head before remembering she can't see him.
"Not yet." Before she can respond, Sonny hangs up. "I got to go Olivia." Sonny heads for the door, but Olivia places a hand on his shoulder.
"Now Sonny, don't do anything stupid. Remember, they are just kids." Olivia pleads. Sonny nods, as if considering what she has said before leaving.
Ellison and Tessa sit on their bed, doing research about Port Charles with Sam. Spinelli worked on his computer. His laptop bleeped with a notification. Spinelli opened the notification.
"What does it say Spinelli?" Tessa asked. Spinelli took a deep breath.
"It says here, that there is 0% DNA match to Sonny Corinthos." Spinelli answers. Tessa and Ellis look to each other in sadness.
"Well, we're back to square one." Ellis dismisses. Tessa places a comforting hand on Ellison's shoulder. Sam smiles before finishing her typing.
"Not exactly. I just need you guys to answer me a few simple questions. When is your birth date and who looks the most like you mother?" Sam asks. Tessa clears her throat.
"Our birthday is August 19, 1998. Ellison looks most like our mother. My mom always says that I got my dad's looks." She answers. Sam nods in understanding as she types at her computer.
"Well, that means your father must have lived in Port Charles in 1997 or anytime before. Based on Tessa's eyes, hair, and skin, it's safe to assume that your father is probably Caucasian with blonde hair and blue eyes." Sam states before typing information into a computer.
"What are you doing?" Ellison asks. Sam taps on the computer screen and then grabs a pad of paper and starts to write what she sees on the screen.
"I made a list of men who fit the probable description of your father. I was able to find six matches." Sam explains. Spinelli smiles.
"Oh Fair Samantha. I am so proud. What names came up?" Spinelli asks. Sam stops writing and starts to read the names on the computer.
"Scott Baldwin, Mike Corbin -" Sam begins before Spinelli interrupts.
"Mike is Sonny's father. They had a 0% match. There is no way that they are related to him." Spinelli reminds her. Sam nods and takes his name off the list.
"Again, that leaves Scott Baldwin, Jerry Jacks, Jasper Jacks, AJ Quartermaine, and …." Sam stops, tears beginning to form in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Spinelli asks. Sam takes a deep breath.
"The final name on the list. It's Jason." Sam answers. Spinelli looks down in sadness. Ellison looks around in confusion, as sadness begins to spread across Tessa's face as well.
"I don't get it, who's Jason?" Before anyone can answer, a knock comes from the door. Ellison gets up and opens it, only to be met by Sonny, who forces him inside with a gun to his face.
