Episode 8
Carly's House
Carly comes out of the back room and into her livingroom, putting a sweater on. "Michael, Morgan!" she calls out.
The television is on. As she walks past she hears the sounds of the machine gun from the helicopter go off live on the news. It quickly catches her attention and she looks at the screen in shock as people can be heard screaming.
"Oh, my God." she says, with a shocked look on her face.
The t.v. screen shows the top of General Hospital with a helicopter hovering over firing off shots with a machine gun. Carly puts her hand over her face.
Carly hears as police cars speed past her house, sirens on full blast. Carly rushes to her window and looks out as ten police cars drive by. At that moment Michael and Morgan come jumping down the stairs. Carly's attention switches to her sons.
"Mom, what's going on?" Michael asked, looking at the television and hearing the sirens.
Carly speeds over to the t.v. and turns it off. "I have to go out for a while."
"But, what's happening? What was on the t.v.?" Michael asks. Morgan plops down on the couch.
"Nothing. I'll tell you about it later. Leticia's on her way over and I need you guys to behave and not watch any t.v. while I'm gone, alright?"
"But, Mom, what's going on? Why did all those police cars just drive by?"
"Michael! Stop with the questions. I said it's nothing. I have to go out and see Grandma Bobbie."
"Is Grandma Bobbie okay?" Michael asked, concerned.
"Sweety, she's fine. I just have to go talk to her."
Just then the doorbell ring.
"Up, I think Leticia's here." Carly said, walking by Michael and to the door. She looked through the windows of her front door and saw that it was not Leticia standing there. She opened the door, "Lucas..."
The Quartermaine Mansion
Tracy and Edward are sitting on the couch, Ned in the chair and Big Alice standing as they watch the television in horror and disbelief.
"Oh, dear God." Edward said.
Tracy shook her head, frowning at the sight that she saw.
"This is insane!..." Ned said.
"What the hell is going on down there?" Tracy rhetorically asked in a low tone.
"I can't believe this." Alice said.
Edward grabbed the remote and hit the power button, turning the television off. They all looked at Edward.
"I can't wait anymore of this! I'm going back down there!" he yelled, standing up.
"Grandfather, no!" Ned said, also standing. "Going down there will cause more commotion and will get you no farther than before. If that."
Tracy stood up. "It's hell down there! We have to go! For Alan and Monica and Emily and even Skye for that matter!"
"Mother!..." Ned yelled.
"My son and granddaughters are down there! This family doesn't need another life lost!" Edward said walking to the door.
Alice jumped in front of the doorway, stopping him. "I think you should listen to Mr. Ashton, Mr. Quartermaine."
"Ah, when I ask for the help then you can talk to me!" Edward said.
"Grandfather, exactly! This family doesn't need to lose another person! What are you going to do if you go down there? Suppose you get hurt!"
Tracy said nothing for a second, none of them did. "Daddy, he's right! You stay and I'll go!" she said, walking toward Edward and Alice.
Ned ran over to Tracy and stepped in front of her. "Mother, you're not gonna be able to do anything more than stand there and be in the way. Alan and Monica are doctors!"
"Well, I'll be a doctor if I have to be! This is our family!" Tracy yelled walking past Ned.
"And this family is a bunch of fighters and survivors!" Ned yelled out.
Tracy stopped. Edward and Alice looked at him.
"Come on. How long did Grandmother fight for? AJ's gone but don't tell me he didn't go out without a fight! We thought Justus was dead and... well, now we know he's not. We're the Quartermaines and we don't go out that easily!" Ned yelled.
Alexis's Lake House
Alexis stood in front of her television. "Oh my... oh my..." she could barely speak. She began coughing almost uncontrollably. She tried to stop but couldn't and turned off the t.v. She kept coughing and coughing. She walked over the dinner table and grabbed her water bottle, opened it and downed it. She continued to cough, but not as much once she had finished.
"Viola! Viola!" she yells going over to the couch and putting on her suit jacket.
Viola come out from the back, holding Molly in her arms. "Yes?"
"I have to go back downtown. It's a madhouse down there!" she says, just before coughing a little bit more.
"Alexis are you alright?" Viola asks.
She coughs, "I'm fine. I have to go. Don't let Kristina watch the television. The news is on almost every channel."
"O-Okay." Viola says.
"Bye, Sweety." Alexis says, smiling at Molly, before she kisses her.
Alexis goes to run out the door, opens it and sees Sonny standing there.
"I'm glad to know my daughter's alright." he says.
"Hm... Sonny, it's crazy down at the hospital!" Alexis says.
He walks past her and into the house. "I know I heard it all on the radio on the way over. But I didn't hear how my daughter was, because you didn't call." He walks over to Viola holding Molly and smiles at her. "Hi!" he says in a sweet voice. "Sam called me and told me what happened. She also said you let Jason get arrested."
"Where is Sam?"
"I don't know. She called me and told me what happened and then said she was going down to the police station for Jason, but other than that I don't know.
"Do you know where Ric is by any chance?"
"No, haven't seen him." Sonny says.
"Alright. I have to go."
"Alexis, i-it's not smart to go down there! You're gonna get yourself hurt!"
"I'm the DA, I have to get down there. I have to call the mayor and do something. I can't just sit here and watch what happens on television. I have to go. Kristina's in her room."
"Fine, just be careful." Sonny said, holding his arms out as if what he said was a question.
"Don't question me, Sonny! Please, just watch our daughter and Molly! Please!"
"Alexis... if you're going, go!"
"Alright, alright..." she said, going out the door and closing behind her.
General Hospital - Emergency Room
Elizabeth and Alan look at each other as the bullets are heard from the machine gun on the roof of the hospital.
"What's that?" Elizabeth asked, nervously.
"Stay here!" Alan said, running out the doors out the ER.
"Elizabeth!" Steven said from behind.
Elizabeth turned around and looked. "What's happening?"
"I don't know. Stay here!" he yelled, running out of the ER.
"Steven!" she said. Elizabeth looked around. She ran to the phone. "Oh, God, Cameron!" she quickly dialed Lucky's number. "Pick up, pick up!" she yelled.
"Elizabeth!" Patrick yelled, coming out to the main ER.
Elizabeth turned and saw him.
"What the hell is going on?"
"I don't know!" she slammed the phone down and picked it back up, pressing redial. "Lucky, please pick up!"
Lucky's Car
Lucky sat in his car, sweating and driving back to the hospital when he heard his phone vibrate. He went to grab it, it sitting on the passenger seat when he felt really bad pains in his stomach.
"Aw!" he yelled, grabbing his stomach and losing control of the car. The car spun out and went off of the road.
GH - ER
Elizabeth slammed the phone back down. "I can't get a hold of Lucky!"
"Where's Robin?" Patrick asked frantically.
"I don't know. I don't know." she said, shaking her head.
She picked up the phone and dialed again.
Parking Lot
Stevencame rushing out and saw Alan come rushing back inside. "Dr. Quartermaine, what the hell is going on?"
Alan, as well as some others came rushing in behind him. "Run back!"
Steven ran out and seen people running and on the ground, hiding behind cars. He looked around and then looked up. "Oh, man!" he yelled, running back inside.
Emergency Room 6
Monica stood over her patient, performing a surgery as the bullets could be heard. The other nurses and the other doctor looked at her nervously. "Just stay focused people." she said.
Then, the sound of people screaming could be heard. Monica became extremely nervous as the screams, they all knew were right outside the room. Monica paused and turned to Epiphany. "Go see what's going on."
Epiphany nodded and walked out the doors to the main emergency room.
"Stay with me here, people." Monica said.
Emergency Room
Some nurses came running in as well as unguarded police officers and doctors outside came running in behind Alan.
"Dr. Quartermaine! What's going on?" Amy asked, grabbing Alan.
"Amy, just make sure no one in here is hurt!"
"Bobbie! Bobbie!" Elizabeth yelled, running to her, through the crowded room of people.
Bobbie turned around. "What?"
"Did you see Lucky? Did he have Cameron?"
"No, I-I haven't seen him."
Elizabeth had tears in her eyes before she ran off toward the hospital.
"Elizabeth!" Bobbie yelled.
"Elizabeth!" Steven yelled, following behind her.
Patrick watched Elizabeth run off and Steven chase after her. He followed behind them.
The Roof of GH
Robin, Robert and Mac came running down the hall to the door to the roof, hearing the sound of the machine gun, shooting.
"Mom!" Robin yelled, approaching the door.
"Robin stop!" Robert yelled, grabbing her before she could break the door open.
"Mom!" she cried again.
"Stay back!" Mac said, pulling his gun out and opening the door.
The walk out to the roof from that door was guarded by a wall on the right to the door. Mac could just see Anna hiding behind the vent fan as the bullets hit and ricochet off of the steel.
"Mom!" Robin screams, seeing her mother.
Robert just stands there and watches Anna.
Anna looks over at them, clearly nervous but staying calm, blocked from the many bullets. Suddenly, the firing stops. The helicopter just stays in it's spot for a second. Anna fires off a few rounds to right of her. Crylium begins shooting again to the right of the vent and Anna goes running to the left, running right to Mac, Robert and Robin.
They shoot right at her as she run across the roof. Each bullet just misses her as she runs by before jumping behind the wall to the entrance of the hospital. She lands right at Mac's feet. They continue to shoot at them, only the wall protects them. Mac helps Anna up and they run back into the hospital, slamming the door shut behind them.
Robin immediately grabs Anna into a tight hug. Anna and Robin both give a breath of relief after that heated moment.
After a few seconds, the firing stops and they hear the helicopter propellers begin to fade away as Crylium leaves. Anna is breathing heavily.
"Oh, Mom!" Robin says, not letting go of her.
Anna laughs uncomfortably. "A close one wasn't it?"
Robin slightly let's loose and looks at her mother.
"Are you crazy?" Robert yells loudly.
They all turn and look at him.
Outside Of General Hospital
Kevin gets up, letting up Lucy.
"Oh, my God! Oh, my God!" Lucy yells. Everyone around them begins to stand up and look around. People begin to talk again.
"Lucy, are you alright?" Kevin asks.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. What in the world...?" she says.
More sirens can be heard as more police and swat begin to come to the hospital.
Carly's House
"Carly, we have to get down to the hospital!" Lucas says as he rushes into her house.
"Lucas! Sshh..." she says as Michael and Morgan stand there, watching.
"Hey, Lucas!" Michael says.
"Hi, Lucas." Morgan than says.
"Oh, hey guys." he says with a smile.
"W-what's going on?" Michael asks.
"Nothing! Lucas is coming to see Grandma Bobbie with me." Carly says.
"Uh, yeah. She wanted to see us, Carly."
Just then, Leticia came to the door. "Hey guys." she said, walking in, nervously.
"Ah, Leticia's here! Finally!" Carly says.
"I got here as soon as I could. I heard all about it..." Carly interrupts.
"Leticia!" Carly says.
"Heard what?" Michael asks. "What's going on?" he asked frustratingly.
"Michael, come here." Carly said.
Michael walked over to her and she pulled him over to the steps and whisper-talked to him. "Something extremely serious is going on."
"Like what?" he asks.
"I'll tell you about it later. I just don't want Morgan to know about it and I just want the two of you to behave while I go see Grandma Bobbie. Can you do that for me? Can you act like a boy whose gonna be a teenager soon? For me?"
Michael nodded. "Okay, Mom."
"Thank you!" she said, kissing him on the forehead. She rushed over to Morgan and kissed him on the forehead. "Be good guys. Leticia, don't let them watch t.v. and not a word about you know what... and don't tell Sonny!" Carly said as she grabbed Lucas and they headed out the door.
Carly and Lucas walked down the steps of her porch, heading for his car. "Thank God you brought your car! You know me and driving she said.
Alexis's Office
Alexis sits in her office on the phone.
"I don't know where Ric is. And Sam is not here either. Yeah, I'm not down at the hospital. I'm at my office. I'm meeting the mayor here. Okay, Sonny, fine take her and Molly back to your house, I don't care, just keep them safe!" Alexis said, taking a breath. "Alright, goodbye." Alexis said, hanging up the phone. She took another deep breath and ran her hand through her hair. She turned around in her chair and looked at a picture of her holding Molly, with Kristina and Sam. "Sam." Alexis said, turning around, back to her desk again.
She picked up her cell phone and called Sam. "Come on, pick up Sam. Pick up." she said, nervously hoping that she could at least hear Sam's voice to know she's alright. It went into voice mail. Alexis took another deep breath. "Sam, it's me, please call me back and let me know you're alright. It's chaotic down at the hospital. I just want to know you didn't go back down there. Please call me." Alexis closed her phone and stood up. She walked over to the drink stand in her office and poured some water. She was breathing heavily.
General Hospital Lobby
Elizabeth stopped at the security desk at the lobby. She picked up the phone and tried to call Lucky again.
"Elizabeth!" Steven called out, coming into the hospital lobby.
She was nearly hysterical. "I can't get a hold of Lucky and he had Cameron with him."
Steven grabbed her into a hug. "Don't worry. I'm sure they're fine. I'm sure Cameron is alright."
The swat team ran past them coming in and out of the hospital, frantically running around. Patrick came into the lobby and seen the siblings hugging, with Elizabeth crying.
"Everything is gonna be alright. Cameron, Lucky and Gram are all gonna be fine." Steven said as he held his little sister.
"Do either of you know where Robin is?" Patrick asked.
"Yeah, I do, actually. I just wasn't thinking when you asked me the first time. She went up to the roof with her father and Mac. I think it had something to do..." Elizabeth stopped again. "Patrick! Mr. Yreval... this all has to do with him!" Elizabeth yelled, eyes clearing of crying.
On The Next General Hospital...
The Road
Sam is standing there in front of her car, right by Lucky's car which is off the road and in a tree. "Is there anyone in there?" she asks.
She is then seen opening grabbing Lucky's head which is on the steering wheel and lifting it up, revealing his face. "Lucky..."
General Hospital
"Are you totally out of your mind?" yells Robert.
Anna stands there staring at him.
"For once, I agree with him."
A Secluded Area
Manny is standing there with a suit in a warehouse "I'm gonna send a clear message to this town: Manny Ruiz is gone but don't forget him! 'Cause I'll be back!" he says with an evil smile.
Lorenzo sits in a chair, tied up and beaten badly.
"Now say hello to your brother for me!" Manny says as he holds up his gun.
