Chapter Ten
"Extra, Extra, Read all about it…"
"Dean, have you heard the news?"
"I'm not a gossiping old bitty, if it hasn't crossed our desks, then I don't know anything." Bobby replied bitingly. Their ratings had dropped in the last few weeks and so far, he hadn't seen a good story cross his desk.
"You'll kick yourself for not knowing this news. Although, you can be forgiven, since the only reason I have it so fast, is because I was there."
"So what is this great news you are obviously dying to tell me?"
"Well, if you are going to be grumpy, I can always take it elsewhere. With news this big…"
"Let's skip the part where you annoy me for an hour and I just give in and get you to tell me what has you all a flutter."
"Let's just say, Port Charles has never had a story like this."
"So…"
"Give me a drum roll…Aww, come on, you know you want to."
Hearing Bobby huff his annoyance and then give in, Dean smiled largely. 'Hook, line and sinker,' he thought to himself.
"So, I was at General Hospital last night, trying to talk to Doctor Quartermaine about her son's hospitalization and soon to be arrest, and what do I spy, but a beautiful young nurse walks right up to both doctor Quartermaine's. I couldn't hear what they were talking about, but shortly after arriving, she walks into their son's room."
Taking a breath, he begins again, "Now, I wouldn't think anything of it, except, she isn't in scrubs, so I know for a fact she wasn't going in there to take care of Mr. Morgan…"
"How did you know she is a nurse, if she wasn't in the medical garb?"
"I'm getting to that. The reason I know she is a nurse, is because she's the one Manny took hostage, the one and only Elizabeth Webber. Anyway, she goes in mere moments after the Quartermaine's create a distraction with none other than Sonny Corinthos and Carly Jax."
"Is that it?"
"Not even in the least. I think by this time, they had forgotten I was even there, so I sort of faded in to the background, wondering what else there was to see and boy did I get an earful when she came back out. She was cutting Mr. Corinthos and Mrs. Jax, left and right. Every time one of them tried to say much, she jumped down their throats."
"What was being said?" Bobby asked his interest completely piqued now.
"She was calling them on a ton of shit but what I heard the loudest was something about Mr. Morgan not being the father of Miss Webber's baby, the one currently in her stomach. She was saying something about Mr. Moran's life supposedly too dangerous to raise a child in, but that Mr. Corinthos and Mrs. Jax seeming to do fine with their kids, if you discount the fact that it seems every other week one of his battalion are normally in the headlines."
"Okay, that sounds interesting, is that it?"
"No, no, no, not at all." Dean replied with a blinding smile.
"Color me intrigued."
"You should be, and when this is done, I so deserve a promotion, this is going to go national! Anyway, Miss. Webber just starts lying into Mr. Corinthos and before you know it, his hand his flying through the air and connecting with her face. The whole floor seemed shocked, but Miss. Webber just stands there, like she hadn't taken a hard blow. One minute she is all cold and calculating and the next, she's calm and asking Monica to go to the security desk and fetch the tape, so the evidence won't disappear…"
"Holy Shit, I need to get this to printing."
"Hold your horses, there is more. As I was saying, after she sends Doctor Quartermaine away, she turns to Alan and asks to borrow his phone, so she can call security, so she doesn't suddenly disappear. After that, she phones 911 and asks for a police officer to come. Before you know it, Mac Scorpio is walking on to the ward and asking what the problem was. She states calmly that she wants to press assault and slander charges against Corinthos and slander against Mrs. Jax."
Bobby kept quiet, just waiting this time, it sounded like more was to come.
"So, she gets all that going and before Mr. Scorpio can remove the two idiots, Mrs. Jax threatens Elizabeth and Mac takes it personally or so it seemed to me. From what I can gather, there is a good possibility that these charges are going to stick. I stuck around after the place started to go back to its quiet like atmosphere and just when I think it is safe to leave, I hear a nurse commenting on how Mrs. Jax doesn't know when to quit, because, as the nurse said, she comes in every other day to harass Miss. Webber…"
"If you want this in the paper by morning, get in your office and get me something on paper."
"Absolutely Bobby, I'll get right on that."
Dean walked away, a slight sip to his steps.
The Slap Heard Around Port Charles…
Yesterday morning police were called to General Hospital by one of its own lovely and endearing, angels of mercy. Dr. Alan Quartermaine and Dr. Monica Quartermaine were standing outside their son's hospital room, when Mr. Corinthos and Mrs. Jax attacked them from supposedly keeping them away from their 'bestest friend'. Lines were drawn, the good and the bad it would seem, until a little slip of a woman walks right up to the Drs. Quartermaine…
Once he had written everything down and proof read it to make sure he wasn't going to be sued for liable, he sent it to Bobby and then headed home, his part was done, for now.
In the morning, after he had more than ten minutes of sleep, he was going to start digging, he wanted to see what there was to uncover, it was obvious something was being covered up, what it was, he wasn't sure, but that is why he was in this type of business, he never lost a story he went after.
'Miss Webber, you are endlessly entertaining and I can't wait to see what skeletons you have hiding in your closet.' Dean thought to himself, yup it was only a matter of time; he was going to get his big break and blow this little Popsicle stand.

"Mr. Scorpio, will you please have the first of your three prisoners brought up. I'd like to get this night over with as soon as possible."
"Absolutely Diane, just let me get one of my officers to handle this for you. I'm flooded with paperwork."
"I understand completely, the law rests for no man and the paperwork, well, even the devil himself couldn't eliminate that dreaded task."
"A lady who is not only smart but understands the world…"
"You should see what else I understand and am good at, just because I'm efficient and calculating here, doesn't mean I am not a wild cat in the sack…"
Mac blushed so prettily Diane couldn't help herself when she leaned over and kissed his cheek. Striding confidently from the room, adding a little extra sway to her hips, knowing damn good and well, she was being assessed and liking it.
'This is turning out better than I could have hoped for.' Diane thought to herself.
Pushing the door open, Diane walked to the table and sat down.
"What took you so long, I've been sitting here since last night, and all because that uppity little bitch thought she could speak to me like that. Well, I showed her, now you need to fix this." Sonny demanded.
"Listen here, you weak minded little man, you do not bark at me, you do not demand shit from me. I was your attorney but and I hope you are listening good; nothing on this world will ever make me take this case. You went after a pregnant woman, who was able to push your buttons because you couldn't refute a single thing she said. You are so bent out of shape because you can't handle not being first in Jason's life."
"I don't know who you think you are but you are my attorney, you don't quit me, I quit you and right now, you need to get these bogus charges dropped."
"Sonny, Sonny, Sonny, you think just because you say something it will be done but I have to tell you, your little or should I say huge God complex is beyond funny. When you are a big dog, you don't need to run around barking and marking your territory, want to know why? Because everyone already knows, the only reason you aren't dead or in a prison cell is because of Jason and you know without him running around cleaning up your messes, your big image will crumble like cheap plaster."
"You bitch!"
"Relax Sonny, the world isn't ending…for everyone else, you, well it could be your last days. Have anything else to say or do you want me to continue to prove my balls are bigger?"
She couldn't understand what he was saying, the 'mumble, mumble, mumble' was really hard to differentiate.
"What was that you spineless, soul-sucking ass?"
"I said I need to speak to Carly, Sam, Kate, Olivia and Alexis…"
"Why would you need to speak to any of those women?"
"They are all pregnant…" Sonny replied in a pissy voice.
"So?" Diane drawled, "What does that have to do…"
'Oh, My, God…'
"Are you telling me, you potentially have five kids on the way?"
"Maybe more…"
"What do you mean, maybe more? My God man, do you not know what a contraceptive is? It is this little piece of rubber you slip over your admittedly small penis; it prevents sperm from entering the vaginal canal…any of this ringing a bell?"
"I didn't admit to anything." Sonny spat.
"Do I need to tell your public defender to find more women or do you already have another lawyer as backup?"
"You know what, you aren't something special, you and your skills are a dime a dozen, take your patronizing ass out of here."
"My pleasure, I don't even want to think how close someone has to be to catch pregnant from you, the less time I am in your presence, the better!"
After exiting the room, Diane broke into loud, body shaking laughs.
"What has tickled your funny bone so much?" Mac asked, his eyes twinkling.
"Oh, it, is, just…too much…Not only is Sonny an idiot, which most everyone knows, but the little prick with the littler dick, has somehow managed to impregnate not only Carly, but Sam, Alexis, Olivia, Kate and possible a few other Port Charles less than savory women. I'd be willing to bet that Claudia is in this up to here jingly, wiggly boobs. Any idea who else he could have knocked up?"
"Well, there was Reese and Angel and, if Max wasn't a dude, I'd say he should be checked too…you know what, it would probably be quicker to say who he hasn't slept with, rather than who he has."
"Mac, you are a delight. I think you should take me out for supper and then maybe home for a nightcap and a massage. Say, my place at 6?"
"Diane, you keep this flirting up and you'll be getting more than a massage."
"Oh, good, I thought you might be a hard sell. My place at 6, can you get my next client?" Diane was practically drooling over the police commissioner. After dating Max briefly, she understood, there is nothing less sexy than a man who would rather be with his male boss than his girlfriend."
