Chapter 1.
"Another wonderous victory." Alexis Davis turned around with a smile, waving her briefcase excitedly.
"Yes." Ric rolled his eyes. "Congratulations."
"Aww..." Alexis chuckled. "Don't be a sore loser now."
"Oh trust me, I'm not." Ric replied. "It was a pleasure seeing you win."
Alexis was taken aback. "Oh wait...is this where you tell me that you 'let' me win?"
"Not in your wildest dreams, sweetheart."
"Good." She smiled smugly as they stepped into the elevator. "Cause, I won fair and square."
"Ya know, you could stop being a sore winner."
"I would, love. But...it's just so-" She was cut off as the elevator stopped and Durant stepped in. She let out a groan and moved her briefcase to the other hand.
"Good afternoon." Durant smiled.
"Hello." Ric replied.
"I just got the news, you lost the Gomez case." Durant scolded. "What are you thinking, Ric? I'm gonna have to find a new Assistant DA if you don't step up your game."
Before Ric could reply, Alexis jumped to her husband's defense. "Ya know, Durant. Do you expect to win every single case that you ever encounter?"
"Yes. I do, actually. I'm just a little upset that I settled for less when I hired Lansing, here."
"Durant. You're a pig." Alexis snapped. "A tiny, insignificant, incredibly annoying, boastful, pig."
"Ouch." Durant grasped at his chest dramatically. "I think my heart just broke." He smiled as the elevator came to it's final stop and the doors opened.
Ric took Alexis' hand and moved from the elevator. "That would require having a heart, John. You might wanna try to find one somewhere."
Durant simply rolled his eyes as the couple turned to walk away from him. "Yeah. Whatever you say, Ric." He turned to walk towards his office when he saw his daughter standing at the clerk's desk. "Carly." He gently smiled. "What can I help you with?"
Carly turned and faked a smile. "I'm not here to see you."
"Well, what are you doing here, then?"
The clerk handed Carly a slip of paper and Carly shoved it into her purse. "Thank you." She gently smiled and turned back to Durant. "John, believe it or not, this is a court house. Just because people pop up here doesn't mean that they are here to see you."
"Well, there went all hopes, huh?"
"Bye John." She moved her purse onto her shoulder and started to walk away.
"Can you let Sonny know that I'm on to him?"
Carly paused and turned back around to look at him. "Yeah. That's always the story, John. You're always 'on' to Sonny. Tell me, what is he doing that you're 'on' to him?"
"Nothing for you to have to worry about." He laid his briefcase on the floor, as his secretary handed him his messages. "If he wanted you to know, he'd tell you, right?"
Carly simply rolled her eyes, as she crossed her arms over her chest. "John. You really need something better to do with your time. If Sonny was the hard boiled criminal that you say he is, wouldn't you of proven it by now?"
"He's good at hiding evidence, Carly."
"John you just don't know-" She started, then decided to stop herself. "Nevermind. This really isn't worth it. I'm leaving." She turned once more and moved towards the elevator.
"There's someone new at General Hospital that you might wanna meet?"
"Oh yeah? Who's that?" She asked, as she waited for the elevator doors to close.
"Your sister."
Before she could respond, the elevator doors slammed infront of her and she was on her way down to the first floor. Had she just heard him correctly? A sister? Why did he wait until now to tell her?
"Hey, Elizabeth?" Rebecca asked, as she walked into the nurses station. "Would you happen to have a file for Cindy Meyers?"
Elizabeth turned from the computer. "Let me take a look."
"Thanks."
Elizabeth searched through a stack of files and grabbed one. "A-ha! Here ya go!"
"Thank you, hun." Rebecca laid her coffee on the counter and looked through the file.
A few yards away, Jason Morgan stepped off the elavator. Rebecca looked up and took note of the gorgeous set of blue eyes that added to his face. She noticed the brunette that held his hand. She was young, pretty, and very pregnant.
"Hey Jason." Elizabeth said with a smile.
"Hey." Jason replied. "We're here to see Dr. Meadows."
"Oh." Elizabeth answered with a sound of dissapointment in her voice. "You guys haven't heard?"
"Heard what?" Sam McCall asked.
"Dr. Meadows resigned a couple days ago. She doesn't work here anymore." As Elizabeth explained the situation to Sam, Rebecca couldn't help but feel Jason's gaze upon her.
"Oh great!" Sam replied. "I'm eight and a half months pregnant and my doctor quit!"
"Yeah, I know." Elizabeth said with a slight giggle. "Everyone's been saying the same thing all day."
"She could of atleast gave her patients some kind of notice." Jason growled.
"Well, the new obstytrician is here today if you guys still want your appointment."
"Who?"
"Rebecca Durant."
"Durant?" Jason let out a sarcastic chuckle. "There's no way that anyone with that name is gonna get near Sam...with any kind of medical equipment."
Rebecca laid her file down and started laughing, as she moved a few steps closer to Elizabeth. "Once again..my father's reputation ruins mine." She simply crossed her arms over her chest and smiled at the couple. "I'm intrigued. What's that bastard done to you?"
