Episode 7

Outside The GH Parking Lot

Anna and Robert run up to the police blocker in front of the hospital where Mac is.

"No one is getting in and that is it." Mac says before seeing Robert and Anna.

"WSB Agency." Anna says, flashing her badge in Mac's face and smiling. She then runs past him and up the driveway.

"I-I'm with her, Mac." Robert says, pointing as he tries to walk past him.

Mac stops him where he is. "Uh, uh. Where's your badge big brother?"

Robert stares at him with an insulted look upon his face.

General Hospital - Emergency Room - ER4

"Robin..." Holly says, surprised.

Robin stares at Holly and Duke for a few seconds, takes a deep breath and then turns around and rushes out the door to the hallway.

"Robin, wait!" he yells.

"Duke, forget her. We have to get out of here!" Holly yells.

Robin runs down back toward the entrance of the emergency room when she stops herself. She takes a deep breath and holds herself up against the wall. She takes deep breaths as she begins to remember back.

"I love you, Uncle Duke." a smiling, young Robin says being held in Duke's arms.

Duke laughs, "And I love you." he says before kissing her cheek.

Robin puts her hand over her mouth, barely able to breath. She looks back and then notices the "Staff Bathroom" sign on a door across the hallway. She looks around her again and then runs to the door, opens it and goes inside, locking it behind her.

Robin looks at herself in the mirror. She's still breathing heavily. She closed her eyes. She opens them, takes a look at herself in the mirror again. She unlocks the door and steps out, walking back toward the room.

She turns the corner and stops herself at ER4. She takes a deep breath and continues to the door, opening it and seeing that no one is inside. She looks around, confused, shocked and nearly in denial.

Emergency Room

Holly is quickly wheeling Duke, in his wheelchair down the hall when Anna jumps out from behind the corner with her gun in hand.

"Freeze!" she yells with a sarcastic, yet surprised smile on her face.

Holly stops.

"Hello, Anna." Duke says.

Alan is in the front of the emergency room, instructing doctors and nurses of incoming patients and assigning them to whom they are to follow. He stands there talking to one doctor when he notices Elizabeth come back and sit in the waiting area.

The doctor walks off and Alan goes walking over to her. "Elizabeth, are you alright?"

"Oh, Dr. Quartermaine, I was just taking a second before I..." Alan interrupted her.

"Oh, don't worry about it. I heard about Audrey. I'm sure she'll be fine." he assured her.

Elizabeth nodded. "She's just... " she didn't want to finish her sentence. "I-I called Steven. He's on his way."

Alan rubbed her back, comfortingly. "How 'bout you get some water and take a breather. Come back in ten minutes. We need you, Nurse Spencer." he said with a smile.

Elizabeth nodded her head and smiled back.

Alan went back to his business. Elizabeth got up and walked past him, heading toward the inner hospital.

Just then, Kevin came running back through the door, a bit out of breath. "Alan! I just got word that it was in fact a bomb that went off of the seventh floor."

"Where?" Alan asked.

"One of the rooms, I didn't catch which one."

"Well, was there a patient staying in there?"

"I don't know. Do you want me to find out?"

"No, no. I want you to go outside and instruct the paramedics through the gate to the emergency room."

Kevin nodded, listening attentively.

"Now make sure the Mac clears the area enough for paramedics to make it through."

"I'll take care of it." he said nodding and running out the doors.

General Hospital Parking Lot - The Gate

Edward and Tracy continued to argue with Mac to get through.

"Listen, Mac, all I want to do is go in there and make sure my family and my assets are alright. I have a lot of money invested in this hospital and I want to make sure that it is going to working well enough to take care of the people of this city. And that is my job!"

"Yeah!" Tracy agreed.

"I'm not gonna say it again! If you're not medical personal or part of the swat team, you're not getting in!" Mac yelled.

Monica came running up, pushing through the reporters and spectators.

"Monica, are you alright?" Ned asked, running to her.

"Yes, I'm fine..." she said.

"Dr. Quartermaine, was your husband injured in the explosion?"

"Is Dr. Quartermaine still alive?"

"Do you know what caused the explosion?" Reports called out.

"Uh, Monica, you're here!" Tracy said, going over to her.

"Monica, tell Commissioner Scorpio to let us through!" Edward yelled, obnoxiously.

"Listen, I don't have time for this. I have to get up to the hospital. You all need to just go home!" she yelled.

"Monica, we need to get up to that hospital!" Edward yelled.

"No, you need to go home. We're all fine. There's nothing any of you can do right now, just please go home. We'll call you with an update when we have the time." she said.

"That hospital is every bit of our business and all of us should be up there!" Tracy said.

"Monica's right. We should just go. Alan and Skye are alright and now that we know we can go home." Ned said.

"But what about Dillon? He could've been up there for all we know and his cell phone is not working! The last thing this family needs is another death, especially now that we just lost Justus!" Tracy screamed.

Monica, frustrated, stressed out and annoyed by her family yelled. "Just know this, Justus is alive!" she said before running to the gate.

Edward, Tracy and Ned gasped. Lorenzo stood by but the sound of Justus caught his attention. He said nothing, but stood there in thought.

Monica ran to the gate and Mac stopped her.

"Monica, wait!" he said.

"Mac, I really don't have the time..."

"Have you seen Georgie or Maxie? Their phones are off and I haven't seen either of them since last night."

"No, Mac, I haven't seen them. If they're up there, I'll let you know." she said before rushing up the road to the hospital.

Mac nodded and took a stressful breath.

"Oh, thank God, Justus is alive." Edward said, putting his hand to his mouth.

"Mother, I'm sure Dillon is alright. Let's just let the police and the hospital staff do their jobs and get out of their way." Ned said.

Tracy, frustrated said nothing and began walking away.

"Come, Grandfather." Ned said.

Edward and him followed behind Tracy as the reporters continued with their many questions. Lorenzo watched them walk away and slipped away himself.

Emergency Room - The Hallway

Anna stood there, gun in hand, pointing at her "late" husband. She smiled somewhat evilly at him.

"How are you doing?" Duke asked in his Scottish brogue.

"Oh, Duke... I should shoot you where you stand. Or sit." Anna said. She then looked up to Holly. "You too. You both are a bunch of liars." Anna said.

"Listen, Anna... we have to get out of here before another, possibly even worse explosion occurs and kills us all!" Holly said.

"You're not gonna shoot me, Anna. Holly's right, we need to go. So, unless you're gonna help us, we're gonna keep moving." he said.

"Don't move. I am going to help you. But, only because I don't want another explosion at this hospital, the place where my daughter works!" Anna angrily said.

Duke said nothing. Holly either. They both thought this was an inappropriatetime to bring up the fact that Robin had encountered them.

"A helicopter is going to land on the roof of GH in about ten minutes. That's as much time as we have to get up there and get you the hell out of here. Crylium knows you're here and I'm sure by now they know you're not dead."

"Won't a helicopter escape attract attention and make everyone wonder why a chopper has landed on the roof of a hospital that just had an explosion?"Holly asked.

"The WSB set this up. The police and everyone else will probably just think that it's a patient arriving. It doesn't matter anyway, the WSB's mission is Crylium and you've just been added to the bunch. They'll escort you outta here and to safety." Anna explained.

"Anna Devane... has everything figured out." Duke said with a smile on his face.

Anna smiled back.

Emergency Room

Monica came through the doors of the emergency room. "Alan!" she said.

Alan was at the nurse's station when he heard his name called. He turned and saw his wife standing there. "Monica!" he said. The two hugged quickly.

"How is everything?" she asked.

"We're doing well. Everything is under control now and all the patients are being set up with assigned doctors and nurses." Alan said.

"Good. Where's Emily?"

"She's here. She's with Patrick Drake."

"Okay, as long as she's okay and the family is okay. Anything else I need to know?"

"Yeah. Audrey Hardy was badly injured. She's in a coma."

Monica gasped. "Oh, no. Do Elizabeth and Steven know?"

"Yeah. Steven is on his way here. Elizabeth's taking a breather. Listen, a heart patient came in about five minutes ago. She complained of a pain in her throat, Epiphany is setting her up for X-rays..."

"Yeah, yeah. I'll take care of it." Monica said before rushing off.

Robin was walking down the hallway when she saw Elizabeth by vending machine. Robin was out of breath. "Elizabeth!"

Elizabeth turned and looked at. "Oh, Robin..."

"Elizabeth, where's Patrick?" she asked, frantically.

"I-I don't know. Is everything alright?"

"No, you're patient Mr. Reaval?" Robin said.

"Yreval," Elizabeth corrected.

"Yeah, that's not his name!"

"What do you mean?"

"What do you know about him?"

"Uh, um... oh, my gosh," Elizabeth realized,

"What?"

"Crylium was after him! He told me they were after him and I tried to help him when the explosion happened! I think Crylium tried to kill him!" Elizabeth said.

Robin took a deep breath. "I can't explain now, I need to find my dad!" Robin said rushing off. Elizabeth followed behind her.

GH Parking Lot

Kevin is standing there, instructing paramedics and other medical personal up the gate while an officer stands and let's them through. Through the crowd, comes running Steven and Lucy. Lucy spots Kevin and run toward him as Steven keeps going up to the officer who lets him pass by.

"Oh, Doc!" Lucy yells, coming up to him.

"Lucy!" he says as they embrace.

"Are you alright?" she asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Where were you, I was calling you. Did you get my messages?"

"Oh, well... I was at home watching the news. I lost my phone, but lucky me I found it... in the car where I left it all night! I, uh didn't want to bother anyone but when I wasn't sure so I wanted to make sure everyone was alright." she said.

Kevin looked at her like he knew she was up to something. "Audrey was hurt in the explosion."

"Oh, yeah. Steven told me."

"Steven?"

"Yeah... is everyone else alright?"

"Well, I found Audrey under a chunk of the ceiling that collapsed on her. Robin was hurt too, but she's fine now."

"Oh, thank God!" Lucy exclaimed. "Do they know the cause of the explosion?"

"A bomb."

"A bomb?" Lucy's eyes nearly popped out of her head.

"Yeah. Someone planted a bomb in a room on the seventh floor."

"I wonder what it's all about."

GH Emergency Room

Steven came rushing into the ER and saw Alan. "Alan! Where's my grandmother?" he asked, frantic.

"Steven,..." Alan said.

"Steven!" Elizabeth yelled, running to him, a cry in her voice. They hugged immediately. Robin was with her but said nothing.

"Where's Gram?"

"She's in here!" Elizabeth lead him behind a curtain to a bruised, comatose Audrey.

"Oh, Gram..." Steven said, walking to her, laying in the bed.

Alan followed them and watched with sorrow as Elizabeth and Steven sat with their grandmother.

Robin went over to the phone at the nurse's station and dialed a number. "Come on..."

"Hello?" Robert said, answering his cell phone. He was in with Mac in the parking lot.

"Dad? Where are you?" she asked.

"Robin! Are you alright?"

"It's Robin?" Mac asked, worried about her. He stood there next to Robert.

"Where are you?"

"I'm in the parkin' lot of GH. Where are you?"

"Get Uncle Mac and come into the ER, right now!"

"Robin, are you alright?"

"Just come into the ER!" she said before hanging up.

Parking Lot

Robert closed his phone and looked at Mac.

"What's wrong with Robin?" Mac asked.

"She said for us to come into the ER." Robert said as he began to run off, Mac followed.

Emergency Room

"Alan!" Robin said.

He turned around. "What's wrong?"

"We need to talk! It's extremely serious!"

"Robin, you look like you've just seen a ghost!" Alan said. The two looked at each other dead in the eyes.

The Roof of General Hospital

Anna, Holly and Duke are in the hallway going out to the roof of GH. Anna holds her gun out as Holly wheels Duke.

"Wait a second." Anna says as they come to a corner. She holds the gun and jumps out from behind the corner pointing it forward, making sure no one is there. "Come on." she says.

They continue down the hallway. "How have you been Anna?" Duke asked.

"Just fine Angus Yreval." Anna replied.

Holly and Duke laughed slightly. "I assume you know Duke's alias, Anna." Holly said.

"Ah, yes. Angus for your father, Duke, Angus McKay. And Yreval is so clevah, Lavery spelled backward. No, of course Crylium wouldn't figure that out." she said as she opened the door to the roof just as the WSB helicopter hovered above the hospital roof, lowering down to the ground.

The ER

"Duke Lavery is here? In this hospital?" Alan asked in disbelief, having already been told by Robin.

"Yeah. Elizabeth said that..."

"Robin!" Robert yelled coming through the ER doors with Mac behind him.

"What's going on?" Mac asked.

"Dad, Uncle Duke is here!" Robin said.

Robert turned his head in confusion. "Duke Lavery?"

"Isn't he dead?" Mac asked.

"That's what I thought." Robert said. "Duke Lavery is alive?"

Robin nodded. "I just saw him."

"Well, where's your mother?" Robert asked.

"Mom?"

"Yeah, she's here. I thought she was with you!" Robert said.

"Mom is here?"

"She ran up the gate about twenty minutes ago." Mac said.

Robin thought for a second. "Mom knew about the explosion too! She called me just when it happened. And Elizabeth said Duke told her Crylium was after him..."

A security guard came running up. "Excuse me, Commissioner Scorpio, I just saw on the camera, two women and a man in a wheel chair going out the door to the roof. One of the women had a gun."

"It's Mom!" Robin said.

"We have to get to her!" Robert said before he and Robin ran off.

"Wait!" Mac said. The two kept running and Mac stopped and turned to the security guard.

"Sir, wait, a helicopter is also landing on the roof right now."

"Did you tell the swat team?" Mac asked.

"No, I thought it'd be best to tell you first." the security guard said.

"Good. Not a word." Mac said, turning around.

Elizabeth came out from behind the curtain and stood there, listening.

"Mac wait!" Alan yelled as the security guard walked off.

Mac turned around again, "What?"

Alan walked up to him. "What's going on here? This is a hospital!"

"Alan, just take care of your patients and don't worry about it." Mac said before running off up to the main hospital, following Robin and Robert.

Alan just stood there. Elizabeth walked up to him. The two looked at each other with worry in their faces.

The GH Roof

Anna, with another WSB agent helped Duke into the helicopter. Then, Holly too got into the helicopter with her husband.

"Come on, Devane." the other agent said, gesturing to help her into the helicopter as well.

Anna shook her head. "I'm not coming. Just take them to the safe house. I'll report back in a short time." she said, also yelling over the propellers.

"What? Why?"

"I have some personal business to take care of now." she told him. She looked at Duke.

"Thank you, Anna." Duke yelled through the loud noise of the propellers.

Anna nodded and looked at Holly. "Now go!" she said with her hair blowing in her face.

"Take care of yourself Agent Devane." the other agent said before climbing into the helicopter and pulling the door closed.

Anna stepped back quickly, Duke and her staring each other in the eyes the whole time.

The helicopter began to lift off. Anna watched it. But, just then, another black helicopter, unmarked like the WSB helicopters came flying over, rather very close. Anna looked over at it and realized that it was not a WSB helicopter.

Everyone outside and around the hospital stared up at the hovering helicopter at the roof of the hospital as they could just see the other one lifting off.

"Damn it!" she yelled, pulling out her gun and shooting at the helicopter as it was ready to take aim at the helicopter with Duke in it. She kept firing off shots at the helicopter. "Go! Go!" she yelled, talking to the WSB helicopter.

The WSB helicopter began to fly off. Anna continued to shoot at the Crylium helicopter. She then realized that they began take aim at her. Anna stopped firing and began to run. The Crylium helicopter began firing off shots from the attached machine gun, shooting off hundreds of shots at Anna. She runs and jumped, hiding behind a large, steel vent fan as they continue to shoot at her.

Everyone looked and seen as the helicopter starting shoot off at the roof of the hospital.

"Lucy get down!" Kevin yelled before he threw her down and jumped on top of her.

People screamed all around as the spectators, police officers, medical personal and reporters all jumped to the ground.
