Chapter 21

5 Days before the wedding

Anna crept through the hallways of the clinic slowly, taking her time to look in every room. She knew Robert had to be here somewhere. The place was in complete disarray and it looked like things were being packed up for a move.

She opened the door to the last room and looked inside. It appeared to be a file room. Suddenly she was shoved violently into the room, hitting the filing cabinets and dropping her gun. She reached for it when a voice stopped her.

"What a surprise – Anna Devane. Had I known you coming I would have arranged a guided tour so you didn't have to sneak around like a common criminal." Liesel's disdain was obvious.

Anna watched as Liesel picked up her gun. Behind her stood two guards, weapons pointed at Anna.

"Obrecht, I knew you were behind Robert's disappearance."

"While I would love to take credit for it, someone else made that man disappear. I just merely contained him for awhile." Anna didn't believe her. "But you are too late, he is already gone."

"Where did you take him?"

"I might be persuaded to tell you if you tell me what you did to Cesar."

Anna shook her head. This woman was never going to give up. "I already told you, Robert and I handed him over to the WSB."

"LIAR!" Obrecht already knew that the WSB didn't have Cesar.

She calmed down. "Well, it doesn't matter right now. I think that you can stay in here for now. I'm sure you can find some very interesting reading material in here."

Anna looked at Obrecht strangely. What was she talking about – these looked like medical files. If there was something in these files that Anna would be of interest in, what are the odds that she would understand it? Obrecht left and Anna began looking around the room. She looked at the cabinets and it hit her. She walked over and pulled out the S drawer. She found the file she was scared was in there – Scorpio, Robin.

She opened the file and began to read through it. She wasn't seeing anything that worried her. Robin's medical history, details about her protocol and general information. It looked like all her medical records had been copied from GH. Obrecht must have made copies before she left and had someone sending her information since Robin's return. It wasn't until she got to the last page in the file that she realized why Obrecht wanted her to read the file.

"Oh my God!" Anna leaned against the file room wall and slowly slid down it in shock. She was still sitting there an hour later when Obrecht came back in the room.

"I don't understand, how did this happen?"

Obrecht shook her head. "Is that really important - what matters is that now you know. You will need to stay here for a few days so that I can make arrangements to get my Britta to safety and hide. After that, you will be allowed to return to Port Charles and do whatever it is you want to do."

Anna eyed Obrecht suspiciously. "Why are you doing this? You hate me."

"I do, but I hate someone else more." With that she walked out the door. Seconds later it shut and Anna was once again locked inside to contemplate her next move.
