GENERAL HOSPITAL #011
Pandemonium swept over General Hospital when the blast rocked the main building. Police commissioner Jordan Ashford had just left the building seconds before, but rushed back in to assist.
It would soon be known by her that, luckily, two of the three elevators had not been affected by the blast. But, unfortunately, one of the elevator cars had been dislodged from the shaft harness that held it secure, and plummeted to a crashing end at the bottom of the shaft.
There had been three passengers, all of them were killed; their bodies nearly torn apart from the crash. Two of them were orderlies who had been transferring a stretcher to another floor. The other dead body was that of one of General Hospital's chief administrators; Dr. Liesl Obrecht.
And while Obrecht's fate was instantly known as emergency crews, including several fire trucks arrived on the scene, the fate of another Port Charles resident was about to be obscured on the other side of the city.
A black limousine made its way toward the docks at the Port Charles harbor where a boat waited to take the lone passenger inside the car over to Spoon Island. The passenger was, of course, Spencer Cassadine.
Without warning, a black Hummer rammed the side of the limo at such a speed, it smashed the front end of the massive SUV. But the resulting crash toppled the limo over, where it then rested upside down.
Two men exited the Hummer and walked over to the limo. The crash had happened on a stretch of the road that approached the docks, and at that moment, there wasn't much traffic at all. But in the near distance the two men smiled at the column of smoke that could be seen rising above General Hospital.
One of the men took out a handgun and opened up the driver side door of the limo and, without even checking to see if the driver was alive, shot him twice in the forehead.
The other man was barely able to move the back door of the limo, but with help from the other, they were quickly able to open it.
"Who are you," the voice of Spencer Cassadine demanded. He had just seen one of the men kill the driver. "My father will kill you!" Spencer added.
A small trickle of blood came from the young boy's head, an injury sustained in the crash no doubt.
Without answering Spencer, one of the men took out a syringe, then grabbed the now screaming child by his hair and pulled him closer, and then injected the Cassadine heir in the neck with a substance that, in mere seconds, knocked the youngster out. The man removed Spencer from the smashed vehicle just as black Ford SUV drove up.
The two men who had attacked the limo, one of them holding the motionless body of Spencer Cassadine, got into the SUV and then it drove away.
