DiMera Mansion
"PATRICK!" Lexie's face contorted as she screamed. "PATRICK!"
Giles entered the drawing room. "Miss Alexandra, Patrick left hours ago on your errand." "Anything I can get for you?"
"Yes, Patrick." The butler hurried away muttering under his breath about spoiled children, but Lexie paid no mind, she was too close.
Too close to revenge, and ultimate power, Father had never thought she was good enough to lead the family, but she would prove him wrong. After all he what did he know, he had wanted Machiavelli to lead the family, and she not only killed him, but his two other successors as well. With Kristen and Elvis missing, she was the last DiMera, and she refused to let the family die without punishing its enemies.
"ROLF." Lexie needed to prepare things for the child's arrival. She closed her eyes and tried to remember the child's name, but couldn't. "Oh well, I was changing it anyway." She looks toward the door, and still doesn't see her doctor. "ROLF!"
Rolf entered the room looking years older then he was, the years under Alexandra rule was twice as bad as working for Stefano. He at least was intelligent, Alexandra was impulsive and incompetent, two very bad traits when for a DiMera, traits that will surely get that person killed. Putting his dreams of murdering Alexandra in the back of his mind, he forces a smile as answers her bellows. "Yes Alexandra?"
"I'm going to need a chip installed in a small child." Lexie sits down on the couch putting her feet on the coffee table, obviously forgetting that the value of the table was three times her ex-husbands salary. " What kind of chips do you have ready?"
"Well, there was the E354, that was the kind we put inside of Chloe Lane, it erases memories that caused emotion, and can manipulate feelings about specific people." He sits across form her. "I don't recommend that one, it's too time consuming, and there are all kinds of bugs and glitches in it."
"Ok, next?"
"There is the M985, that is the one currently it's the once they used on Machiavelli when she was little. It turns you into an obedient soldier, with unlimited learning capabilities, it's the one we have in O'Neil."
"I don't need another mercenary, next?" The thought of another little Machiavelli running around made her skin crawl.
" The R751, the one put into Hope Brady, completely erases the memory leaving it blank and programmable. "
"Hmm, that's a possibility." Lexie begins thinking of the new life she can give the child when something Rolf said caused her to frown. "What did you mean the one she had when she was little, which one did she have last time she was Machiavelli?"
Rolf rubbed his chin while he thought back. "The E354, we had problems with the M985, it's the reason Stefano had Machiavelli imprisoned, before Henry Red Wolf retrieved her."
"What do you mean imprisoned, what did she do?" Lexie was getting nervous now, that was the same chip implanted in Patrick, and if there were side effects she should have been told before hand. "Why would father imprison her, she was his favorite."
"Yes she was before, until she betrayed him, and tried to take control of the Empire."
"How was the chip involved?"
"Machiavelli, had a type A personality, that combined with the chip's unlimited learning capabilities, caused her to believe that she could take over the world, like some twisted God complex."
"Why didn't you tell me that, before I put it in O'Neil?"
"The problem only occurs with Type A personalities, O'Neil is Type C, and we have nothing to worry about." Rolf stands.
"I wouldn't be so sure." Patrick O'Neil stood in the door, several men surrounding him. He stepped to the side to let his men enter, when of ten where in the room he moved to stand in front of Rolf. "I think the chip had a major defect, unfortunately for you I like it." That being said O'Neil took out a knife and plunged into Rolf's chest.
"Are you insane, clean that up at once." Lexie couldn't believe the audacity, needed or not she would kill him if she had to.
Patrick turned to look at the last DiMera with disgust. " I am a little insane, also a little power hungry." He removes a 9mm and points it at his employer. "You see, I was thinking about it and I'm better this." He pushed Rolf's body out of the way and took his seat. " I am trained to rule an empire, not be your errand boy, so here it where it ends."
"You can't do this, I have men all over the place, you won't make it out the door alive." Lexie voice quivered anger and fear.
"Yeah I can, you see the men don't really like you, they think you're a bitch, and I tend agree." He stands and straightens his suit. "This is where I ends Alexandra." Two men surrounded Lexie and began to lift her from the couch. "I suggest you get right with your maker."
As the men lead Alexandra away kicking and screaming, Patrick looks at his men. "Now, onto business, find the girl."

Mac looked at the little girl and grimaced. Gabriella had gotten more food on her and her clothes, then in her mouth. " You're a mess, kid, do you do this at every meal or are you treating Mac special?"
"Mac." The little girl claps her hands together splashing some food left on her hands on the table. "Mac, play."
Smiling Mac picks Gabriella up and kisses her cheek. "Mac can't play." Moving toward the playpen set up in the corner she lays the little girl down. "Mac has to take of some business so that you can go back to Mommy and Daddy, and so my friend Patrick can come home."
"Mama."
"Yeah, soon." Mac bends and kisses her head. "You play nice for Mac's friend okay?"
"Mac." Gabriella nods her head.
"Good." Mac turns to Gabriella's babysitter. " I be back in a little while, one hair on her head gets touched or misplaced, and I'll to have rip you apart."
"I will take good care of the child Machiavelli."
"Don't call me that it's Mackenzie or Mac." She sees the woman nod. "Thank Elena."
Mac grabs her jacket and heads out the door, she checks with guards she has on the warehouse door." The kid doesn't leave unless it's with me."
"Gotta ya Boss."
