~REVEALING~
~ Chapter 4~
Keesha looked at her manicure as she answered Ned's question. "Because, I'm moving back to Port Charles and I wanted to be in your good graces. Um, you know that building, on the east side, right before the docks? That's where Nubian Expressions is now. We decided that business would be better if we were in a locale that we were familar with--"
Ned stared at her intently. He knew she was purposely straying from his question. "You're already in my good graces. Always have been. Why did you really give all that money to L&B?"
"Because...I want to do business with you."

"Marcus, you're late! Well, I guess it's police business..." Florence mumbled as flipped through her travel magazine. "Gia's probably there right now. Hope you're having a wonderful honeymoon, baby."
~Room 226~
Stavros finished his brandy as Helena and Vanessa Courtlandt cackled at the man infront of them. "You've always been a good servant, Mr. Covani . But you had to defy me!"
"Mrs. Cassadine, I cannot kill Anna Devane!"
"Oh, but you will. As soon as I find the blasted Ice Princess...but never you mind that. You must. She put my dearest friend behind bars."
Stavros rubbed his chin and approached the trio. "That reminds me. Mother, how exactly did you and Mrs. Courtlandt meet?"
Vanessa gasped. "Oh, in finishing school. My, he is handsome one, isn't he?"
Stavros rolled his eyes. "Mother, this is tiresome. It took you less time to make the Spencers vanish. Why don't you just kill Kieran and have someone else kill Ms. Devane. Or, god forbid, do it yourself!"
"Don't underestimate the element of surprise. It could be useful." Helena walked slowly to Kieran and sighed. "Kieran Covani, what might have been."
Suddenly, Kieran pushed Helena to the floor and tried to escape. Stavros decked him and started to choke him. "No one harms my mother!"
Vanessa helped Helena up and said. "Stavros, darling, he is no use to us dead."
Stavros let go and dragged Kieran over to the fire escape. "I really hope you would reconsider mother's offer." He pushed Kieran over, knowing on instinct he would hold on. Mere mortals were so easy to read. Stavros chuckled as he climbed back into the room. "Let us know when you've made your decison."
~A train heading to Port Charles~
Alex walked back to her seat as Anna greeted her. Anna reclined back and saw her sister's worried expression. "Alex, I'm sure the staff at GH will welcome you. That's not it, is it? You never told us why you wanted to come with us. And why Dimitri isn't with you."
"Dimitri and I broke up! I don't want to talk about it." Anna raised an eyebrow and decided not to discuss it further.
Robin read her medical journal and smiled at Gabriel. "Mom's told me so much about you. It's great to finally meet you. I almost couldn't make this trip. Are you looking forward to Port Charles?"
"I'm gonna miss Pine Valley, but I would miss my family more if I stayed."
Robin shook her head and then got up as she saw V approach her. V grinned. "Robin Scorpio! Going back to Port Charles?" Gabriel got up as well so V could pass him, but she still fell into him before she sat down. "Sorry."
Gabriel smiled slightly. "It's all right."
Robin leaned over and spoke once more. "V, I'd like to introduce you to my uncle, Gabriel Devane."
Anna was going to pry into Alex's relationship woes, but a man tapped her on the shoulder. "Ryan! What are you doing here?"
Ryan sat across from her. "I read my mother's file..."
~General Hospital~
Alexis tried to stifle her laughter as Melissa put ointment on Jax's forehead. "No serious damage. I think the only thing bruised badly is his ego. I need to get the bandages, I'll be right back." Melissa patted Jax on the back before she left.
"I need to make a phone call and--"
"Laugh at me. I'm sorry you find my injury so amusing." Alexis covered her mouth and left the room. "I hope V doesn't think I'm in some danger."
Alexis strolled around the hospital, heading to the payphone. She halted when she saw Sonny walking towards her. "What are you doing here?"
"Johnny told me you were in the hospital."
"I am. I-I had to take Jax to the hospital." Alexis glared when Sonny grinned. "He's going to be fine." Alexis laughed slightly when Sonny frowned.
Melissa searched high and low for extra bandages. "This is the supply room, where are the supplies?" Suddenly, she heard a clinking sound behind her. "I really don't need this right now!"
Larry, the new nurse, chuckled. "You mean, you don't need a container full of bandages? There was a fire, so that's why there's a shortage." Larry swiftly moved past Melissa and locked the door. "So, I heard your man's in the good ole 'Pen'."
Melissa sighed and folded her arms. "Yes, Roy's in prison. I have work to do Larry, what do you want?"
The man smiled and slowly walked to her. "You."
