Complicated Turns – Chapter FourAJ boarded his small private plane. "Hello," he said, nodding at the pilot. He set his bags down on the floor and took off his jacket.
"Mr. Quartermaine." The man said, walking over to take AJ's coat from him. "I hope that you and Mrs. Quatermaine will have a very enjoyable flight." The pilot nodded respectfully.
AJ's eye's narrowed into slits and he crossed his arms. "I'm sure we will." The pilot nodded once more and went into the cockpit. AJ walked to the centre of the plane. "Faith!"
Faith's blonde head poked around the bathroom door. "You yelled?" She walked over to AJ seductively and began to loosen his tie.
AJ batted her hands away and took a step back. "Faith, I told you yesterday that you couldn't come. It's too dangerous." He added. He sat down on the seat and put his head in his hands.
Faith pushed his hands away and sat down in his lap. "AJ, you can't possibly think that they're going to just let you waltz back into that town, do you?" She rubbed a hand down his dark brown hair. "Let's be honest here. I know that you loved your dad, but the most of that town hates you."
"And that entire town hates you," AJ said as he leaned back. Faith manoeuvred herself so she was resting her head on AJ's shoulder. "They're my family, Faith, I can't leave them now that dad's… now that he's dead."
Faith shook her head. "They've done well without you thus far," she pointed out. She felt AJ sigh heavily. She knew AJ well enough to know that he was going to end up in Port Charles one way or another. Faith sat up and moved so that she was straddling AJ. "You know, it's a long way to Port Charles," she said seductively as she pulled on his tie.
"I guess I would get rather… lonely," AJ agreed. "I suppose you can come, but you have to stay out of sight." AJ warned as he worked on Faith's shirt buttons.
"Anything for you, baby."

Spinelli added another binary code into his computer. He just had to find a way to prove to Jason that he was the ultimate computer hacker, or at least had the potential to be. After all, Stan did have a few years on him.
Spinelli was rudely interrupted by a loud knock at the penthouse door. With a heavy sigh he placed the laptop on the coffee table and walked over to the door. "Who is it?"
"It's Lulu!" Lulu yelled from the other side. Spinelli quickly smoothed down his hair and opened the door. He leaned in what he hoped was a cool way against the doorframe.
"Blonde one!" He said happily in greeting. "What can I do for you?"
Lulu smiled at him and limped into the living room. "I need your help." She paused and turned to face him. "And I owe you an explanation."
Spinelli shook his head and walked past her. He flopped down on the couch and picked up his laptop. "You don't owe me anything, Blonde One." Spinelli paused to type a few more things into the computer. "And I'm pretty busy right now."
Lulu shook her head and walked over to the couch. She stepped over Spinelli's long legs and sat beside him. "Spinelli, I didn't mean to yell at you." She said apologetically. "I just… I don't want my dad to find out that Scott killed Rick Webber. He would get so mad and-and," Lulu paused and looked down at her hands. "And I can't lose my dad too."
Spinelli smiled at her. "I understand, Blonde One. I don't really think the situation is good for anyone, you, your dad or Serena." Spinelli went back to his computer.
"Serena?" Lulu said, taken aback. "Why do you care what happens to Serena?"
Spinelli shrugged and pressed 'enter'. "She's a really nice person, we hung out yesterday after we took Sam to the hospital. She's really cool, she loves video games and rock music." Spinelli's head quickly turned to the computer as it beeped.
Lulu shook her head. "You have to be careful around her, Spinelli. Not only is she the daughter of Scot Baldwin, but her surrogate mother, well, only mother," Lulu corrected herself. "Is infamous in this town for manipulation. They'll both do anything they can to get what they want. I wouldn't be surprised if Serena's that way too." Lulu looked concerned as Spinelli fell silent. He was gaping at the computer screen in shock. "What is it?"
Spinelli closed his mouth, and then opened it again. He shook his head once, but said nothing. His hands were frozen in the air.
Lulu leaned over him and looked at the screen. Before she could read anything, Spinelli's hand shot down and closed the screen. Lulu jumped back. "What is it?"
Spinelli shook his head again. "It's nothing, nothing that… nothing that concerns you." He looked away, not able to meet her eyes.
Lulu grabbed one end of the laptop. "You're a horrible liar, Spinelli," she scolded, sliding the laptop out of his grip. Spinelli looked visibly defeated as she opened it up and read what was on the screen. "What is this?" She asked, just as shocked as Spinelli.
Spinelli took a deep breath. "It's a paternity test. I was looking for info on Stone Cold, try to get the 411. I was hoping to stumble across something that would make him proud of me. I found something!" Spinelli put his hand on Lulu's shoulder. "I'm sorry, Blonde One, that baby Elizabeth is carrying isn't Lucky's."
Lulu shook her head and shot up. "I have to tell him!" She exclaimed. She stumbled over Spinelli's legs and grabbed her coat.
Spinelli stood up and rushed over to the door. "What do I do with the test?" He asked as he opened the door for her.
Lulu looked down at her feet. "Don't do anything. Wait until I can prove it to Lucky." And with that, Lulu was gone.

Carly walked into Kelly's and spotted the man she was waiting for. She sauntered up to him, unbuttoning her coat at the same time. "Scott," she said, throwing a piece of blonde hair out of her face.
Scott stood and greeted Carly. "Carly, good to see you again." They both sat and regarded each other. "I must admit that I was rather shocked to receive your call."
"I had a reason, Scott. I need a divorce and I need it as soon as possible." Carly said flatly.
Scott nodded and took a sip of his coffee. "It's good to see you come to your senses." He said, but backed off once he saw Carly's eyes narrow. "Why me?"
Carly shrugged. "Who else would help me? Ric hates me and loves Sonny, Alexis is sick and that other woman lawyer is working for Sonny. You're all I have." Carly paused. "Plus, you and my mother have a history, I figure that your soft spot for her would transfer over to me."
"I'll get you that divorce you so sorely want, Carly, for your mother and for you." Scott said. "No one should be trapped in a marriage they don't want to be in, that's why divorce was invented."
"Well, then. To my impending divorce!" Carly said happily as she and Scott shook hands.

Brenda stepped warily out of the car she had ridden in from New York City. It was true that she could have borrowed a private jet from one of the many rich friends she had in Port Charles, but she wanted her home coming to be a surprise. Brenda said goodbye to the driver and stepped out.
She walked through the apartment lobby she had crossed many times before and pressed the elevator button she had pressed many times before. Once inside, she pressed the appropriate key and waited.
Brenda supposed Jax would be rather jealous that she was visiting Sonny before him, but seeing as Jason lived in the same building, it would be like killing two birds with one stone. She could say hello to Sonny and yell at Jason.
Once she reached the right floor, Brenda walked out of the elevator pulling two large suitcases behind her. Another large suitcase was being carried under her arm and a carryon was slung over her shoulder. She quickly dropped the offending weight and walked over to Penthouse Four.
Brenda rapped loudly on the door. She waited several long moments before trying again. She received no answer. Brenda furrowed her brow. "Sonny?" She yelled loudly. "Sonny, it's Brenda!"
"Er, lady?" A voice said from behind her. Brenda turned on her heel and caught the eye of a young, floppy-haired twenty-something. The boy gaped at her. "I have seen a new light." He said, stars in his eyes.
"Excuse me?" Brenda asked. She took a step towards the boy. "Who are you?"
"Ah!" He said, taking an exuberant step towards her. "I am the Jackal, assassin of cyberspace and," he paused, raising his eyebrow. "Slayer of hearts." He paused, relaxing into a slouch. "Most people just call me Spinelli."
Brenda took another step forward. "Well, Spinelli," Spinelli swooned slightly when she said his name. "Do you know where Sonny is?"
"Mr. Corenthos, sir?" Spinelli blinked and looked around slightly. "He's probably at his house or the café."
Brenda looked surprised. "You mean he doesn't live here anymore?" She asked.
Spinelli shrugged. "He hasn't lived there in a while, I would guess. That penthouse has been empty since I've been here."
"Oh," said Brenda. "Well, does Jason Morgan still live here?" She asked.
"Oh, yes, Stone Cold and the fair Samantha." Spinelli nodded. He stepped aside, inviting Brenda in. Brenda walked past him, paused and turned back to him.
"Samantha? Where's Courtney?" Brenda asked Spinelli. "Isn't he still with Courtney?"
Spinelli looked confused and cocked his head. "Who's Courtney?"
Brenda walked over to the couch and sat down. "Courtney is only the love of Jason's life. Well," Brenda reconsidered what she said. "At least now that Robin has a new boyfriend."
Spinelli shrugged and stuck his hands in his pockets. "Well, I happen to know that the fair Samantha is the love of Jason's life." Spinelli looked down at his shoes. "At least, that's what I thought." He said under his breath.
They both turned when they heard the door open. "Samantha! You have returned!" Spinelli said happily as Sam limped in the door. "Do you need some help?" Spinelli asked, rushing to her side.
Sam smiled gratefully at Spinelli, taking his arm for support. "Thank you, Spinelli," she said softly. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Brenda gaping at her. "You must be Brenda."

BAUH! Chapter four is done! I am so so so so sorry about the wait! I was recently chosen to be the MC for one of my school's biggest events, which has taken up a lot of my time. I promise more frequent updates once it's over, on the 29th.
I hope you liked this chapter. We were kind of lacking for reviews this time round. Show me the love!
