"Have you found anything on who could have taken Carly Corinthos" Dante asked Harrison who shook his head. "We have hit nothing but dead ends we even called the FBI to see if they seen anything like it and they haven't. I mean this Joker tattoo means something but Padilla did some looking around and it's not like anything we've seen. But she thinks it comes from like a deck of card it has to be some kind of insigna for something.
What did your father says does he know anything" he answers, Dante sighs and runs his hand over his face. "He lost when I told him that they basically branded his wife who doesn't even know who he is. It killed him because he's in prison and he can't do anything he can't be there for her. And I get it so we need to find something because I don't know how long he's going to last and I'm afraid he's going to end up.
In just like Carly" Dante says, Harrison looked at him "I'm sorry Dante I know this must be hard on your family" he says. Shaking his head"Thanks but you only get away with things like this for so long his time was bound to come" he replies. Just then Jax walked in "Detective Chase may I have a word with you" he said, as the young detective sighs.
"Now i have to tell him we still have no leads on who did this to Josslyn's mother" Harrison says,ssss Good luck with that man" Dante says. As he made his exit nodding to Jax before leaving the precinct he just wanted to be with his family. "I apologize Mr. Jacks I have nothing new for you as of right now we have the FBI looking into it" he says.
Shaking his head in frustration "I have the resources to move this along" Jax's says,sighing"Look I know your frustrated Mr. Jacks so are we but we are working on it diligently. I get it you want justice for your ex- wife but I promise you we are doing the best we can right now " the young Detective says.
Jax looked at him incredulously "are you kidding me you get it do you have children do you now what it's like to tell them that she's never going to have the mother. She loves back that you don't know who did this to her mother or why they took her away from you. And your baby sister who is going to grow up without her mother then you have no clue.
On how it feels to look into your daughters eyes and feel her pain" the man said, I know how it feels when you want justice for the one you love. I felt that way about Willow and Shiloh but we will get whoever did this to her" Harrison says. Feeling bad for Jax but there was nothing he could do right now until he had something more to give him.
Miami, Florida
Federal Court
"Hello Dr. Tavares can you explain to the court the days events of May 16th" Mr. Downing said.
"Yes I can Mr. Ashford had the kids outside all day to wear them out I gave them bathes and he was in charge of putting them down. They pretty much hang on every word he says he's the black superman to them kids anyway. I was downstairs cleaning up the mess of toys that were allover the place he came down we talked a bit then his phone rang.
Then he said he had to go so he did and I was going to take a shower when my sister in law Kat called and said she wanted to see the kids. And I said sure so they came and got Danny and Scout and then I took my shower and came downstairs to watch some TV. When i was heading to the living room that is where i saw a strange man standing in the hallway.
I looked at him he looked at me and licked his lips and I ran to get to the lock box I keep in the living room. He came after me he grabbed my leg and i fell face first then he grabbed my face and said not do anything stupid. Then he ran his hands along the side of my face and says your going to do exactly what I say.
In that moment I knew it was going to be fight or flight my baby was upstairs so i kneed his in his groin. Then shoved him off of me then ran for my weapon when he practically shoved me into the wall and that is when i hit the ground a second time. That's when he unload hitting like I was another man and fought him back and it made him angrier.
Which is when he started to choke dragging me up to the end table and turning me around and said "I want to hear you scream you stupid bitch you couldn't just do what you were told. That's the problem with you bitch's you don't listen but your going to learn tonight". I continued to try to fight him off using whatever strength i had left and then he slammed my head into the end table and I blacked out.
When I came to Curtis was there" Elle finishes there wasn't a dry face in the court room all the men in her family was trying to hold their composure. Elizabeth covered her mouth as the tears ran down her and Sam's face in disbelief they had never talked about it in depth. Just as Sam got up rushing from the court room holding her stomach as Drew went after her "Hey, Hey" he says.
Pulling her to his chest as she sobbed into his chest" shush " Drew said rubbing her back trying to calm her. "I HATE HIM DREW I HATE HIM HOW COULD HE JUST THINK THAT WAS OKAY!" Sam cried. Drew shook his head "I don't know honey the ends justified the means I guess" he replies not knowing what else to say. He to himself was shocked nobody knew what happened that night but Elena and most likely Ramy.
Inside the courtroom Emelda sat in her chair shaking Antonio grabbed her hand "Emy don't do mami I promise you he's getting his" he whispered. " déjame ir Antonio" she responds All the while Esmerelda sat there stoned face with tears in her eyes as her husband held her hand. "Why did Kat come and get Danny and Scout and not Pax" the prosecutor asked, because she wanted to feel closer to her sister and with everyone thinking she was dead.
Danny and Scout were the closing thing to be near Sam" she answers,even Jordan had tears in her eyes she sat in disbelief. It only made her feel worse because Curtis walked in on this he was just trying to be a friend and she pushed him into the other woman. "Dr. Tavares how does Mr. Morgan come into play" Mr. Downing asked, Umm he was upset that I got custody of Danny and I wasn't allowing him to see him" she says.
"Why wouldn't you allow him to see the child in question" he asked, because they were kidnapped and found on the black market for children. And as far as I knew their mother was killed by someone deranged young woman whose father he killed. She fit to take it out on Sam so I wouldn't let anything happen to those kids not when she entrusted. The most important people to her he was a threat to their general well being" Elena said.
"Your honor it's speculation" Diane says, "the jury is aware of Mr. Morgan's very lengthy wrap sheet Ms. Miller you may continue Mr. Downing" Judge Sterling says. Nodding his head "Is it true that you guys were in a heated custody battle for not only Daniel Morgan but Emily Cain" he says. "Yes again he was upset that i had custody of her per her mother and father made me and Curtis Ashford.
Her legal guardians in the event of anything happen to them that she was safe and cared for Sam wanted her kids to grow up together. How it supposed to be she didn't have that with any of her siblings so she wanted that for Danny and Emily Scout" she answers.
"Dr. Tavares Is it true that Mr. Morgan threaten you in court saying and i quote YOU WILL NOT KEEP MY KIDS FROM ME THAT YOU WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE THAT YOU WILL DISAPPEAR. AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAME" And he had to be dragged from the courtroom in contempt" Mr. Downing says.
"Yes he did" she replies , thank you Dr. Tavares and I am truly sorry for what you endured I have two daughter myself. And I can only imagine the horror you went through as the defense tries to paint you as the villian in this situation.
To make a career criminal look good " the man says. Elle watched as Sam came back into the courtroom taking his seat when Diane got up. "Ms. Tavares you told a perfect tale to a t why don't you tell us what really happened this was just a ruse to get.
Get Mr. Ashford in your bed and trying to get rid of Mr. Morgan because he wanted his children back. Children i might add never knew who you were before going to live with you "Diane say. That's when Elle laughed "your joking I have been visiting Danny since he was a baby or Sam would come to Miami. Or we will meet in the city and do something together with the family I was always apart of her those kids lives" she answered.
Shaking her head "I can tell you what really happened on the night of May 16th you and Mr. Rondell Simmons. You met him because he was working on the landscaping to your house and you were into him. The two of you flirted and you invited him over for some rough sex didn't you and it got to much for you. And now your playing the victim knowing that my client would be wrongfully blamed.
How can you look his children in the face and lie how could you perpetuate this. But I guess you got what you wanted Mr. Ashford and Jason is just collateral damage in you web of lies and deceit.
You spin this whole tale but we all know the truth you knew exactly what your doing and I have the proof right here in this folder" Diane says. Picking it up from the table and handing it to the judge as the prosecutor got up "Your honor what is this" he said.
As Diane smiled and winked at Elena whose facial expression never changed. "Your the one to leak this story to the press making a media frenzy of this case and my courtroom Ms. Miller i would like to speak to you in chambers.
Court will resume in a half hour you may step down Dr. Tavares" Judge Sterling says hitting the gavel and getting up from his seat. Leaving Diane speechless and confused "What!" she says when it register what was going on when she looked at Michelle.
Who shrugged as Diane went to meet with Judge Sterling as the guards cuffed Jason. That's when Jake stepped up looking him straight in his eyes "You know when you came back didn't want you to be my father.
But my mom and Drew they talked you up and I let you in but you never really showed up much ever. And mom still talked you to be some great guy and some protective guy BUT YOUR A SELF BASTARD. WHO ONLY WANTS WHAT HE WANTS NO MATTER WHAT IT DOES TO ANYONE ELSE YOU HURT PEOPLE. YOUR NO HERO AND THE REAL HERO'S ARE UNCLE DREW AND PEOPLE LIKE HIM WHO FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT.
I HOPE YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE" the thirteen year old says storming off as Elizabeth looked at him and shook her head before going after him. "Jake, Jake, Honey" she called to him that's when Sam turned and slapped him "I was naive to think that you would go that far to hurt someone I love. Because I still had this blind faith in you that you could be a decent person but I was wrong.
Jake is right you only want what you want" she says leaving , "Good for Jake he see's you for who you are I'm happy he did but it took me my entire life. To figure it out but my eyes are no longer closed I know who you are and now so does Jake. I hope you never see him or Danny again it would be what you deserve it's what you did to my father right.
Who you felt wasn't worthy to be a father to his own child and you know what i would have been better off with him" Michael says, "let's go Morgan" the guard says leading him.
In Chambers
As she looked through the papers in shock completely mortified by every paged she turned."I...I... don't know what that is that is not the evidence that I was going to produce" Diane stammered. Out in shock "Is this not you colluding with Ms. Johnson to conspiring to throw this case" Judge Sterling said.
"Your honor I can assure you it wasn't what it seems she approached me about helping with the case" the woman finishes. As she continued to go through the file not knowing how she got this but it was going to get a whole lot worse.
