Chapter 5
Greece, the mainland, a harbor.
Ned and Alexis stand on dock looking out over the ocean.
Alexis (pointing): "That's it."
Ned: "The Cassadine Compound?"
Alexis nods.
Ned (amazed): "That's where you grew up?"
Alexis (unfazed): "Yeah."
Ned just shakes his head.
Alexis: "When I was growing up, no commoners were aloud to take a boat and go to the island. It harbored great punishment if they were caught trespassing."
Ned: "I wonder if that law is still in effect."
Alexis: (seeing a fisherman walking over to one of the boats) "Lets see."
Alexis walks over to the fisherman and mumbles a few words in Greek. The fisherman looks up at her with fear in his eyes and mumbles something in Greek and walks away from her in a hurry.
Alexis: (walking back to Ned) "Apparently it still is."
Ned puts his arm around her and pulls her close.
Ned: "Can't you just tell these people that you're a Cassadine and you want to go visit your childhood home?"
Alexis: "If I was really here for a visit I wouldn't need to hire a fisherman to take us to the island."
Ned: "Good point."
Alexis: "Besides I don't think it will be safe for us to tell ANYONE that I am a Cassadine."
Ned: "We'll find a way, and if not we could always swim." He grins, dimples flashing.
Alexis laughs as he looks into her eyes. She stares back at him. He leans in to kiss her.
Man: (walking up to Ned and Alexis and interrupting them) "Excuse me."
He is a large man, but not fat with black hair and a very deep Greek accent. Ned and Alexis pull away from each other both a little flustered.
Ned (annoyed): "Yes?"
Man: "My name is Victor Constantonopolous. I own this harbor and one of my men came and told me that you wanted to go to the Cassadine Island."
Alexis: "That's right."
Victor: "I hope you know that it is highly forbidden to go to the island, it carries a penalty of death if one were to be caught."
Ned: "So we've been told." He looks over at Alexis.
Victor: "But I may be able to help you.. For a fee of course."
Alexis: "What exactly are you proposing Mr. Constantonopolous?"
Victor: "There is a boat that will soon depart for the island. It takes food and such supplies that are needed from the mainland. For the right price I could allow you aboard, secretly of course, and when the boat docks on the island you could make your way off and escape onto the grounds."
Alexis looks as though she is about the protest when Ned cuts her off.
Ned: "It's a deal." The men shake hands.
