"You're an attorney Alexis. You have to have all your ducks in a row." Alexis puts the last lingering toy in place in Kristina's toy box. She looks around the nursery. Her eyes fall on a toy camera nestled under the tea table.
"I forgot one." Alexis picks up the camera and starts to think. "This reminds me. I need to videotape everything. And I need to get Sonny back to my apartment."
"Ok Coleman. Where is someplace clubby and crowded?"
Coleman points the pole stick at Sonny to take the next shot.
"Uh. You can bring her here."
"You've got to be kidding me Coleman. I'm not bringing Alexis here."
"I thought this was a fake date. Why does it matter? You don't care about her do you?"
"Hell no!" Sonny shakes his head and leans forward to take his shot.
"Sonny, you just need to make sure she ends up at the Greystone so Helena can do her thing."
"Why am I killing her at the Greystone again?"
"You'd be the first suspect, but they'd eliminate you easily. You gotta be all distraught though when you find her."
"Let me let you in on a little secret Coleman. I don't like the sight of blood. Makes me cringe and faint. That's why I have Jason."
"Then I expect that you'll play panicky little girl pretty well."
"No doubt."
"You will eat your vegetable soup."
Alexis pushes the bowl of soup in front of Kristina barely able to reach the table. Bobbie and Luke observe Alexis from the counter.
------
"What is Alexis doing Luke?"
"Kristina said a dirty word today. So this is Alexis' way of punishing her."
"Why doesn't she just punish the source of the dirty word?"
"That would be me."
"You taught Kristina a dirty word Luke?"
"Yea."
"Why?"
"Cause in about two seconds, Sonny's going to come running through that door and get his ass tore up from the griddle to the grill."
"And you do this as a form of entertainment?"
"Nobody is more entertaining than Sonny and Alexis. I love to watch Sonny's expressions when he's getting yelled at thinking he's guilty, but he's really not."
------
Alexis shakes her finger at Kristina. "Dirty words like what you said today are unacceptable Kristina."
Kristina nods. "Unacceptable Mommy."
"If you agree with me Kristina then why did you say it?"
"I don't know Mommy."
Kristina shrugs her shoulders. Sonny comes running through the door and takes a seat across from Alexis.
"You called me like something was on fire."
"First of all, I have a meeting so you need to watch Kristina because Uncle Luke back there doesn't think the title godfather requires more than just staring at the child, smoking a cigar, and threatening to stick a dead horse head in her bed if she even breathes too hard. But before I go, you said really bad words in front of Kristina."
"What? You called me for this? I never taught Kristina a dirty word."
"Who else would she learn it from?"
"You don't say dirty words Alexis?"
"You will not often find whoresluttrampbitch in my vocabulary."
"You just said it Mommy. Eat that."
Kristina pushes the soup in front of Alexis, but her cell phone beeps.
"I gotta go. I will eat the soup later. Zip it with the dirty words Sonny."
Sonny throws up his hands and looks at Kristina. "This is why Mommy needs to go away permanently."
"Why did you call me Coleman? You're not supposed to call me."
"Have a seat Lexy."
Alexis and Coleman both take a seat. He pours her a drink and then one for himself.
"The club is empty and I thought this would be a good time to conduct business. So you want me to videotape you and Sonny getting it on?"
"Well that's what I was going to ask you. Do we need to go all the way?"
"Oh yes. It needs to be as realistic as possible. You must be completely naked in order for this to work."
"Just me?"
"Yea. Just you."
Alexis starts to remove her jacket causing Coleman to choke on his ice cube.
"Oh my God Coleman! You're the second to last piece of slime left in Port Charles! You can't die on me!"
Alexis jumps up and puts Coleman in a headlock.
"You're choking me Alexis!"
"Don't die on me Coleman! You're my only evidence of innocence!"
"Ok!"
Alexis releases Coleman and takes a seat again.
"God damn Alexis. You're good. Got me all sweaty."
"Can we get back to business? I have it all planned out. You'll come to my apartment right before Sonny and I leave the club. You'll have access to my attic where you will videotape the whole thing."
"Ok Alexis, but you gotta be all distraught when it happens. Pose for the camera."
"Coleman, why do I feel like you're trying to film a snuff movie in my living room?"
"You picked the location. Not me."
"Have you decided how you're going to do this Helena?"
"Bow and arrow."
Sonny stares at Helena trying to see if she's serious.
"You serious?"
"It's the new wave Lord of the Rings way of killing. Very valiant."
"You serious? Have you ever shot a bow and arrow Helena?"
"No, but this should be good practice. So I need you to get Alexis in front of the window and with the help of my trusty Andreas, I will shot the arrow and hit my target."
Luke peeks out from the side of the building hearing Helena's plan for Alexis.
"Ok, have you decided how you're going to rid this earth of Sonny?"
"Bow and arrow."
Alexis, perplexed, looks at Helena.
"Excuse me? You couldn't find a more modern means of killing him?"
"It'll be quiet and tragic."
"Just like Sonny, right?"
"I always conduct my murders with a theme of some sort."
Luke races out from the corner to Alexis sitting on the bench next to Helena. Alexis spots him and grabs her purse to run off.
"Where you going Alexis?!"
Alexis stops and looks at Luke.
"Didn't you see her trying to kill me? I gotta go."
Alexis runs off. Helena crosses her arms with an innocent expression and looks up at Luke.
"She's too stupid to live Luke. So many missed opportunities."
Luke sits next to Helena.
"Whatever you're doing Helena, call it off."
"Never. You'll just have to stop me yourself Luke."
