They step into the club and Alexis finds herself in shock at the unfamiliar place. A young boy bumps her knocking her into Sonny's arms. She immediately pulls away from him and he looks at her so obviously annoyed by his choice for their date. Continuing through the crowd, he beams at her aggravation.
"Sonny, where the hell are we?"
"You said you wanted clubby and crowded."
"Sonny, I was hoping for more of our type of crowd."
Sonny shrugs his shoulders. "What? Nobody does clubby and crowded like the brothas."
Alexis eyes him for explanation. "The brothas? Are they your brothas? My brothas? I'm not familiar with that terminology."
A handsome man strolls up to Alexis and taps her on her shoulder. "Excuse me Babygirl, but you wanna hit the floor with me?"
Sonny steps in front her. "She's with me. I'm Sonny Corinthos."
"My bad." The man steps back and raises his hands to show he's innocent and quickly hurries away.
"He was cute. Why did you step in the middle of him hitting the floor with me?"
"We're just here to be seen. Ok?"
"Be seen by whom?"
"I don't know. You're the one that wanted clubby and crowded."
"You know what? I just wanna have sex."
"That's it? Alexis, you make me drive all the way to the hood to find clubby and crowded and all you wanted was to get laid?!"
"Let's go back to my apartment."
"No. The Greystone."
"No. I don't like the Greystone."
"I drove so I get to pick where we're going."
Sonny grabs Alexis' hand but she jerks it away and races from him through the crowd. He chases her out the door and barely grabs hold to her clothing before she slips into a random limo. Sonny slides in next to her and prepares for the argument to ensue.
"Alexis, whose limo is this?"
Alexis ignores Sonny as she hoists her body over the seat and slips the cab driver cash.
"Drive to my apartment!"
"He doesn't know where your apartment is."
Sonny wraps his arms around Alexis' waist to pull her back down, but she clings tight to divider.
"Drive anywhere BUT the Greystone!"
"All my bags are packed and I'm rea to go…" Coleman pauses in the middle of fumbling with his tripod. He continues on with the song. "All my bags are packed and I'm ready to go…what the hell is the rest of the lyrics?"
"Coleman!"
Coleman falls to his knees and peeks down from Alexis' attic. He spots Helena below with her bow and arrow fully loaded.
"I'm expecting them any minute. Be ready to tape. I hope to kill two birds with one stone and somehow blame it on my precious Luke Spencer."
"I I Madame."
Helena rushes to the balcony doors and signals Andreas' assistance. He forces the doors open and offers his hand to her. They scurry to their positions behind the planters Alexis bought that morning to facilitate their covert operation. Helena ducks from the appearing headlights in the parking lot. She looks behind her and watches Luke step out of his car and start around Alexis' building.
"What does Luke want? That bastard."
"No bra with that blouse is so necessary. No panties in jeans that's so necessary. Now why you frontin' on me is that necessary? Do I to you look like a lame? Who don't understand a bra with a mean shoe game? Whose up on Dot Dot Dot and Vera Wang? Ma are you insane, let's just..." Sonny sings while he holds tight to the headphones pressed against his ears and shakes his body to the music. Alexis ignores him and keeps watch out for her neighborhood.
"We're here! This is my apartment! Stop!"
Alexis hits the limo driver on the arm and throws more cash his way. She drags Sonny out of the limo and to the front door of her building. Digging through the purse for her keys, Sonny's sneaking hands up her shirt shoots an eerie feeling through her body.
"Sonny, what are you doing?"
"I'm being romantic."
"This is not romantic. It's skeevy! Stop it!"
Sonny jerks his hand away and leans on the door waiting for Alexis to open the main entrance. She finally unlocks the door and makes her way towards the elevator. She looks back at Sonny, his face glistening with sweat.
"Sonny, what is wrong with you?"
"I got a workout in that limo."
The doors of the elevator open. Alexis takes another look at Sonny.
"Dry yourself off before you touch me."
------
"Alright. The camera is set."
Coleman focuses the camera downward into Alexis' living room. They burst into the room and Helena perches ready to fire. Sonny rips off his shirt and forces Alexis onto the couch. Coleman tries to focus the camera on Alexis. "Alexis. To the left. To the left."
Alexis pushes Sonny away and grabs him by his beater.
"Sonny, can you turn away from the door please?"
Sonny stands up and looks down at Alexis.
"What?" He exclaims.
Alexis takes Sonny by his arms and slams his body onto her glass patio door.
"Like this. I just want you right here."
"Against your patio door? Can we close the blinds?"
Alexis presses her body against Sonny's.
"No. No. No. Stay right here."
Coleman starts to lose Alexis in his view. "Alexis. To the right. To the right."
"God Alexis. I didn't realize you had such an imagination."
Sonny catches her off-guard and wrestles her to the couch.
"Sonny, what are you doing?! I said the door!"
"We'll do that later."
Coleman starts to get frustrated. "Sonny. Get off of her. Alexis. Slide. Slide Baby. Slide. Now Slide Baby."
"Sonny, I've changed my mind."
Sonny pulls himself off of Alexis. "What?!"
She jumps up from the couch and tackles him to the ground. Coleman frantically moves the camera. "Dip baby. Dip. Come on now. Dip Baby. Dip."
Helena pounds the ground with her fist. "Damnit Andreas! They won't stop moving!"
"Can you get them both?"
"They're idiots. Both of them. We have to hit them just right."
Alexis and Sonny fight for domination on her living room floor. She finally breaks from him and races for her front door, but Luke stops her.
"What are you two doing? Do you realize what's going?"
Sonny and Alexis look at Luke to continue on. Sonny shrugs his shoulders. "What Luke? You just killed the romance."
Coleman shuts off the camera and starts to disassemble his tripod. He sings to himself. "Cotton candy, sweet and low. Let me see you tootsie roll." He jumps up to dance not realizing his weight and crumbles Alexis' drywall. Helena points the bow and arrow at Luke's heart, but she notices the flakes falling from the sky.
"Oh no Andreas. That damn Coleman."
Coleman feels the ceiling sink. He takes a step and crashes through. Sonny pushes Alexis away from Coleman colliding to the ground. Before Luke can grab Coleman's powdered frame from the ground, he snatches up his camera and darts out the door.
"What the hell was that?" Sonny looks at Alexis hanging onto the edge of the couch pretending to be clueless. He looks at his watch and realizes the time. "We need to go."
Luke stops Sonny.
"Do you two realize that you've put hits out on each other?"
"What?" They both stare at each other in shock.
"Yea. You're idiots! The both of you! Call off your hits! Now!"
Luke yanks at his jacket to reinforce his anger.
Sonny points to Alexis. "She can call hers off first."
Alexis furrows her brow. "No you call yours off first."
"Kristina loves me more so she wants me around longer."
"What a dumbass. I could put your ass in prison."
Luke throws up his hands. "Give me your phones! I will call them off." Luke reaches out his hands for their phones. "Give them to me!"
Sonny almost hands his over, but jerks it back. "Who's hitman you calling first? Call hers first."
Alexis jumps up. "What?! No. Call his first!"
"We're at the scene of her crime! Your hitman is probably outside."
Helena rests her body on the railing and waits. "This is ridiculous. Should I answer the phone when he calls?"
Andreas shrugs his shoulders. "I say we keep the money and run."
"Ditto. Coleman told me he likes to be tied up. We'll have a drink and hit Wyndemere."
"No way Helena. I'm your boy toy."
Sonny starts to dress. "I'm not fighting about this anymore. I'm not giving up my cell phone until Alexis hands hers over first."
Luke sighs heavily. "You both deserve whatever is coming your way."
They all look back at the patio door and catch Helena and Andreas climb down the fire escape. Alexis punches Sonny in the arm. "Was that Helena? With a bow and arrow?"
Sonny's face turns red. "Oh man."
"Did you order a bow and arrow hit on me?"
"Oh man." Sonny walks away from Alexis.
Luke turns to Alexis. "Stop playing innocent Alexis. You ordered the same hit."
"WHAT?!" Sonny and Alexis look to Luke for more answers.
"You both ordered Helena to kill each other."
Alexis crosses her arms in furry. "Where do you think her ass went Luke?"
"Who knows."
"I'd like to find her myself." Alexis grabs her blouse and starts to dress. She fastens her last button and searches through Sonny's coat.
"Why are you going through my coat pockets?"
"I'm looking for your gun. Helena is gonna pay. I'll show her slow and dramatic."
Alexis races out the door with Sonny's gun. He grabs his coat to follow, but stops to give Luke his attention. "When she pulls the trigger, I just wanna kick Helena once or twice. Ya know. Get my hit in. Alexis'll do more time than me right?"
Luke waves Sonny off. "Call Helena a Bitch for me."
"What were you doing that you fell through Alexis' ceiling Coleman?"
"I was doing the Tootsee Roll."
"The what?"
"Forget it Helena. I knew the plan would run foul."
Helena sees Sonny and Alexis approaching her in the distance.
"Coleman, go hide and roll the camera."
Coleman grabs his camera and dives into the bushes. Helena waits patiently for the angry twosome to reach her.
"Sonny and Alexis. What a pleasant surprise. You two don't look happy."
Helena studies their faces, both calm and angry at the same time. She senses from their stares of death that her time is short. She turns to walk away, but she stops hoping to cop a plea. Alexis points the barrel towards Helena.
"You wouldn't rid Port Charles of my usefulness would you? You needed me. Both of you. I only tried to do my job."
Sonny steps towards Helena. "I don't care what happens to you as long as someone else is getting rid of you. My record is already tainted."
Helena looks at Alexis holding steady to the gun.
"My precious Natasha. Surely you don't want to sit on the other side of the law."
"Helena, the line forms behind me to get rid of you. Should I do it Sonny?"
"Absofuckinlutely Alexis."
Coleman rolls the tape as the shots fire.
Luke tucks Kristina into her bed and tosses her favorite storybook onto the nightstand. She sits up on the bed and yanks on his shirt for one more story.
"Please Uncle Luke. Will you tell me that story again?"
"I think you've heard it enough. Your dad Sonny is doing twenty to life in Sing Sing while your mother, who was much smarter, pled temporary insanity for her twenty years in Ferncliff."
"Will they ever come back Uncle Luke?"
"No."
"My mommy was right."
"Why is that?"
"You are the Godfather."
Luke smiles and pats Kristina's head.
"Lie down and shut up before I stick a dead horse head in your bed."
