For those curious about Audrey killing Tom. It just happened, seriously. I was writing and it just came out. When I went to erase it, just have her hitting him, I found I couldn't. No idea why. Also Carolyn is going to be so sorry she came to Port Charles. Heehee!
I also wanted to say I love Cameron and Braden Walkes who plays him. The thing was on soaps; most characters have boys first. I just wanted to change that up. Cam will be coming into play, but he will be slightly different. Not the oldest but the middle child.
Thanks for all who are reviewing and I just wanted to say to those who were writing that they love how quickly I update, you are welcome. Enjoy.

Chapter 73
Elizabeth's announcement was greeted by stunned silence, then when her water broke; the entire room went into action. Jason trying to pick her up while the medic's who were still sitting in their ambulance came it. "Mr. Morgan please let us in."
Jason backed away just far enough for them to help Elizabeth onto the gurney. "I'm coming with you."
Monica came over to check on her daughter in law, then asked Mac to help get her to GH as soon as she woke up Audrey. Recalling the sedative, she groaned, knowing the elderly woman would not wake up anytime soon. Turning to Diane, she asked the attorney to stay with her.
"I should be there, just in case my client needs to be kept out of jail." She said as Taggert and Mac both glared at her. "Fine, I will call Alexis; she is going to want to be there anyhow."
As the various calls went out, Elizabeth and Jason were already on their way to the hospital. "Jason, do you think anyone noticed the mess I made, grams will be upset to find the mess when she wakes up?"
Jason could barely keep a straight face. The woman who calmly and rationally smothered a dying man would not care that her child had gone into labor in the middle of her carpet. In fact he was sure they would be hearing about that fact that she missed it.
Holding onto Elizabeth's hand, Jason grimaced at every contraction, trying to help ease her pain, but knowing there was nothing he could do. When they came off the ramp and into the ER, Elizabeth saw Dr. Meadows waiting. "Sorry, to wake you up."
"Its part of the job, now lets get you up to maternity, Jason are you going to be in the room with her."
Seeing his nod, she joined them in the elevator as they went up. She then asked if they had done anything to induce labor. "Nothing." He said then asked why would she think they would.
"Some couple try the old wives tales, bumpy roads and such to induce labor. Sex is usually a good way to get labor started."
Elizabeth blushed as she recalled what they had been doing when the phone ran. "We, uh, we did do that early this morning."
"We then, lets see where you are and how much further we have to go."
"Shouldn't she be having the baby, I mean her water broke?" Insisted Jason.
"This could take hours." Said the doctor cheerfully. Turning to Epiphany, she said "Just to be on the safe side set up an epidural drip."
Taggert waited until the room had almost emptied out, then stopped the loud woman from leaving. "Just where do you think you are going?"
"To the hospital to see my daughter."
"Really, because I kind of got the idea you were going with me. I know that you will be going with me, now."
"Just who do you think you are?"
"I'm Detective Taggert, and I know Dr. Quartermaine rather well. Now I am quite certain she does tell lies, but the thing is I am also rather sure she is telling me the truth in regards to you. Now do I have to place you in handcuffs or will you walk out to the car on your own."
Carly was rushing into the waiting room, wanting to be there as quickly as possible. Seeing Alexis waiting she growled, "You live even further away then I do, how did you get here so quickly?"
Telling her about the attack by Tom and Mac's letting her know Carly soon found herself shocked. "So
Mrs. Hardy. Mrs. Audrey Hardy, nurse here at GH, Elizabeth's uptight grandmother killed this man with a golf club."
"Yup, one hit too. She must have one hell of a tee off stroke." Said a cheerful Alexis.
Seeing Emily and Nik arriving, Carly let them in on the news. "So how is she doing?"
"Fine, but it will be a little while longer." Said Monica entering dressed in scrubs. "Her water broke at the house and she is dilated to 4. Jason is with her now."
Edward blustered his way into the room along with Lila and Alan. "So has she given birth yet?"
"Just wait a while, Edward. These things take time." Said Lila as she turned to ask Reginald to get them some coffee.
Jason was wiping the sweat off of Elizabeth's forehead as she squeezed tightly crushing his left hand. Seeing her staring at her center point, he was sure that this had to be the worst labor ever. "Do you want some more ice?"
"No, I'm fine. You need to stop worrying." She said to him. Then she turned to Dr, Meadows who was moving between her legs and snapped "I think you are wrong, please check.
"Okay, the head is starting to crown, now when I tell you to, I want you to bear down. Okay?"
As she found herself lying exhausted on the bed, Elizabeth listened to the sound of Lia's first cry. "Jason, she is out. She is here. We have a little girl." She saw the look of stunned disbelief on his face and said "Jason, are you okay?"
"She is so tiny." Was all he managed, never taking his eyes off the baby as the enormity of the challenge ahead of him hit home. "Oh my god, I am someone's father. We are parents."
"Yes, we are." She said when he leaned over and kissed her. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, what are they doing?" He growled when Lia started crying again.
"Mr. Morgan, they are just cleaning her up. Ten fingers, ten toes five pounds and six ounces. Sixteen inches." Announced Epiphany.
Trying to control their tears, the parent were happy when the hospital staff handed their daughter to them. As she lay in her blanket on her mother, Jason reached out a calloused hand and gently touched her. "She's ours, isn't she? She can't be returned."
"They aren't putting her back, if that is what you mean." Said Epiphany as she helped wheel Elizabeth into a recovery wrong. "Now you two enjoy your alone time. I will be back to help you feed her for the first time."
Mac was sitting in the chapel, knowing that he had just helped cover up a murder. That the murderer was Audrey Hardy was a shock, but he could not allow her to face a trial or prison. This was the result of too many mistakes in the past.
Dara had not prosecuted it, thinking it was a no win case, Taggert and Capelli had done their best, but like all rape cases it was hard to get a conviction without physical evidence. The simple fact was that if he hadn't escaped prison, this would not have happened.
Alexis entered and joined him on the pew. "How are you?"
"Fine, I just wish he hadn't gotten this close. They are looking into the car and the photo as well as why he came to be at Audrey's."
"You should know that I talked to Georgie tonight, about Johnny. And the car."
"Was she angry?" He asked.
"No, more like sad. Mac it scares me, she seems to accept that there is no future there but seems to be connected in some way to him. As she talked, I realize we have a mess to deal with. What happens when she realizes that she loves him? What then?"
"We hope and pray that she finds someone else before that happens. If she doesn't we try to be there, maybe it won't end badly. Look why we are here tonight, it could end just as well." He said trying to be optimistic.
"When I left, she was getting ready for school; Maxie had already left to meet Jesse for breakfast. He was on his way home from his shift and called." Alexis sat down, wondering whether or not she had done the right thing.
Edward was sure that it couldn't possible take this long, at least he didn't think so. "Monica, why haven't we heard anything?"
"Mr. Quartermaine, if you have ants in your pants, take it outside. If you want to know about your latest great grandchild sit down and wait a few minutes. Dr. Meadows will be out soon." Said Epiphany from behind the man.
Carly just laughed, the woman was intimidating on a good day, and today she seemed to be breathing fire. "Is Elizabeth okay?"
Softening at the concern the blond was expressing she said "Mother and Baby are fine. Someone should be out here soon."
"I want to see my newest granddaughter, now." Insisted Edward.
"And I want to be a contestant on America's Next Top Model, if you don't stop behaving like this, my wish will have a better chance of coming true." She said before walking away ignoring Edward's comments about insolent hospital staff.
"She can't tell us anything. Nor show up to tell us about the baby without Jason and Elizabeth. She is just doing her job Edward. Now calm down before Jason comes out."
Five minutes later, Edward stood again, saying well where is he?
"Right behind you old man." Announced Jason. "Now sit down and stop bothering the staff. Walking over to Lila he knelt down and said "Your namesake is tiny, but healthy. Five pound six ounces and sixteen inches."
"Oh, Jason how is Elizabeth doing." She asked while reaching out to hug him.
"She is asleep, but she made me promise to come out and tell you as soon as they both went to sleep. Lia already had her first feeding and is in a bassinet in the room with Elizabeth." He told her, the glow of his happiness clear for all to see.
"When may we see her?" Asked Carly from the corner.
"Not until this afternoon. We didn't get much sleep and after what happened at Audrey's Dr. Meadows wants her to rest for a while." He said before reaching over to accept the hug from Emily who asked about the name.
"Lila Audrey Morgan, we are going to call her Lia." He said still smiling at the idea he was now a father.
After all the ows and ahs, Jason took his sister off to the side and asked her to help the guards take care of a few things for him. "Sure Jase. Anything else?"
"No, I took care of a few things over the phone and just want to get back in there."
"Go, I will get Carly to help." She said reaching over to envelop him in a bear hug before leaving. Stopping to gather Nik, she said. "Tell Elizabeth, I get to be the first to hold the baby."
Jason smiled at her then as she was leaving asked Carly to help with a few other things needed as well what was on Emily's list.
Taggert took down the woman's name and then ran it. Seeing that there was an open warrant, just like Dr. Quartermaine had said, he escorted her to processing and decided he had been interrupted before he could call as he ordered her placed in a cell when finished.
"Garcia, I didn't get too much sleep last night. I am taking a catnap in the bunkroom, just leave the Webber file, and I will get back to it when I wake up." He said. Entering the small room, he grinned. While the charge was a misdemeanor and would more than likely be dismissed, that didn't mean she couldn't spend a little time in a jail cell.
As he drifted off to sleep, he was thinking about asking out the new intern, wondering if it was worth the effort. Most of the time, he had barely enough time to get his personal business done, let alone date anyone. Sometimes he couldn't help thinking a new job might be a good idea, one with less stress.
Just as he was waking up Garcia entered to say "You need to read this."
Taking the report from Pentonville he said "Let Mac know I, the Webber woman can just wait a little longer. Let the warden know I am on my way.
Lila was heading to her bedroom to get some more sleep when she first heard the ringing of the phone, seeing Reginald answer and then look confused, she hit the switch to roll over to him. "What is going on?"
"Did you know about Miss Emily's and Prince Nicolas' being in the newspaper?"
"No, for what? I wonder why she didn't tell us?"
"That was a reporter for the Port Charles Herald looking for response."
"Strange, Reginald do you know where the paper is today?"
"AJ called and asked me to keep it from Mr. Q. that it would be a good idea to keep it from him."
"I think we need to find a copy of that paper, I have the feeling it might be important."
Mac took the call and then gathered Alexis and Justus. "We have to find a private moment."
Justus borrowed the conference room and closed the door.
"Capelli is dead. Murdered last night in the escape. Baker was the one who shanked him. They also found evidence that Tom got the altered picture of Elizabeth from another prisoner. We traced the person who had them originally; it leads back to Port Charles. A low-level criminal named Osgood. He had connections to Lucky's dealer."
"What do you think happened?"
"They know what happened. A prisoner in exchange for being transferred to county jail gave up the whole thing. Trevor Lansing told an outside guy to get a copy of the pictures. He got them to Lansing's attorney who gave them to Lansing."
"That sick twist-" stated Alexis.
"Not for his own enjoyment, it looks like he planned to use them in some way against Capelli. They found out from Capelli's guard that there was a confrontation between Lansing and Capelli, during which Capelli ended up with the copies. Someone pinched one from the cell and exchanged it for a pack of cigarettes. The deal was with Baker. Capelli was slowly destroying them while working in the prison kitchen."
"There was some sort of altercation between Baker and Capelli the other day. That was how Baker ended up in solitary like Capelli and the others who were planning to escape. The shank had both their fingerprints on it."
Emily saw the strange looks and whispers as she went to get her grades. Seeing Maxie coming towards her, she saw the younger girl's eyes bulge out of her head.
"Emily, what are you doing here?"
Explaining she asked the younger girl why she was looking at her like that?
"The paper, I mean really Em isn't it a little weird?" She asked shaking her head as she walked away from her.
Now curious, she drove off campus and went to the flower shop where they were supposed to be doing the flowers for her wedding.
"Miss Quartermaine are you here to cancel?" She asked.
"No, in fact we have set a date. May I get a couple dozen pink tulips and baby's breath." She asked before leaving, as she walked to her car she saw people on the street pointing and talking to one another.
Stopping in front of the newspaper machine, she put in her quarters and grabbed a paper, planning on reading it as soon as she picked up the takeout from Kelly's. Calling ahead, Mike took the order and asked if she was doing all right.
Well maybe what happened at Mrs. Hardy's, wait no that wouldn't have made the morning paper. Walking up to the courtyard she tossed down the paper and waited for Georgie to make it outside. When the young waitress did, she had the same reaction as her sister.
"Uh, Emily, I am really, really sorry. Do you want that ice tea for here or to go?"
"Here." She said then opened the paper. Seeing nothing in the first section, she had just opened the society pages when Georgie returned as Lulu arrived for her shift and growled at her before entering to start work.
Not sure what the blonde's problem was today, she read the small blurb about the unnamed Prince and his fiancee calling their wedding off, and who could blame him?
How rude, she thought as she read about how she had to be insecure over his being named to the list. Going through the next section, she found nothing, leaving just the classified. Opening them up she found nothing until she got to the last page. Getting ready to fold the paper she found the list on the front page of the local section and laughed at where Nik was listed. Thank god after their wedding it would stop.
Getting ready to close the newspaper she saw the back page, choking on the sip of tea, she was glad that her newest niece had been born, that way when she tortured her mother or father she wouldn't feel as guilty.
"Elizabeth Morgan you are so dead." She swore as she ripped out the page and wadded it up. Grabbing her cell phone she went to call her so called best friend when she remembered Liz was in the hospital, great I will have a captive audience, she thought as she tossed down her money and left when Georgie brought back her take out for the new parents.
Monica waited until things had calmed down, Elizabeth was sleeping and an upset Audrey had shown up to visit her great granddaughter. Now she had something to take care of. Walking into the station, she was annoyed to find out that Mac wasn't there.
"I was hoping to see a prisoner, Carolyn Webber. We are old friends."
"Sure, we are just waiting to hear back from Colorado." Said Garcia before bringing up the loud woman.
"Hello Monica, come to tell me what I bad mother I was." She drawled out.
"No, we both know you were a terrible mother to Elizabeth and that it was on purpose. I just came to tell you I think that you are a money grubbing bitch who should be glad that all I did was ruin your career. Now when they let you out of here, I would suggest a clean start. Alaska maybe, as far as I know we have no connections there." She said smiling sweetly.
"How dare you, after what you put Jeff through."
"Old news, Carolyn. Now lets talk about something way more recent. You are going to think back, and then you are going to write down the name of the man who you sold Annie and that woman out to."
"I don't have any idea what you are talking about." She said smoothly.
"Really, Carolyn you used to be a much better liar. Now think twice about lying again. The woman you helped get dragged back here, her name was Maria Zachara. She also was pregnant with a little girl but went home to her husband with a boy."
"Once again, you are boring me. No wonder Alan and you have split so many times, you are still as annoying as you were in med school."
"And you are the same worthless piece of dung." She said as she got up to leave. "Remember what I said Carolyn, Alaska it's a vast land, one you can get lost in."
Carly was driving down Cortland when she saw the billboard, pulling over to the side of the road; she was glad that she was on Elizabeth's good side. When she had finished laughing, she went to finish her errands, knowing that she had to be back at GH before Emily, there was no way she was missing this.
Pulling into the parking lot she looked around the red Jaguar. Not seeing it she quickly headed up to Elizabeth's room. Entering she saw the mother with her daughter but no Jason. "Let me guess you tossed him away now that you have the baby." She teased.
"No, but he is taking care of something for me. We are supposed to be sleeping but Lia wanted to eat again."
"What could be more important than being here now?"
"I can't tell you, but you can tell me about your meeting with the baseball coach."
"Dinner and a movie tomorrow night. There are no sparks but it will keep me in the game. Speaking of games, I saw what you did, Emily is going to want to strangle you."
Jason and Max cleared everything out, then arranged for a crew to come in and redo the floor. When Audrey returned this afternoon, there would be no evidence of Tom's death.
"The pillow?"
"We took care of it. Marco is making sure that the police follow through with what was discussed. Tomorrow Tom Baker will be cremated, all done in accordance with state guidelines."
"I have to get back to Elizabeth and the baby. Thanks, Max. I want you to keep an eye on Mrs. Hardy for a couple of weeks; she is going to be a bit shaky after this."
"No problem, you know when I got here and came in, she was just sitting there calmly suffocating him. She just stood and handed me the pillow saying he won't be able to hurt anyone again. When I heard what he had been saying to her, about Elizabeth and the rape, I understood why she did what she did. Personally I would have shot the guy, slowly working my way to killing him."
"The love of a child. Mrs. Hardy, even when she was protesting Elizabeth and I being together, the one thing I always understood was her love for her. She once described Elizabeth as the last remaining part of her late husband, Steve. She has been over protective of her for years as a result, but she has always truly loved her granddaughter for herself as well."
Jason looked down at his jeans and knew he had to change before taking care of his next meeting. Growling since this meant even more time away, he rushed home to change.
Emily arrived at GH steaming, but at the same time appreciating the sense of retribution. "Dad, why are you standing at the doorway, I would think the chief of staff has better things to do."
"I am looking for your mother, turns out the baby being born wasn't the only surprise. Carolyn Webber turned up and was arrested for an old charge in Colorado."
"Really, so I would guess she is down at the station." She said before handing him the bags. "I have something to do, please tell Elizabeth that I will be back and she will be very sorry."
Mac entered the station to see the Mayor looking for him. "What is this I hear that an escaped prisoner attacked Audrey Hardy last night? What are you doing about it?"
"Since he is dead, all I can do is recommend counseling for Mrs. Hardy." He said as they entered his office. Snagging Garcia he told him to keep his wife away from Dr. Webber.
"Who?" Asked the Mayor then quickly turned it to the topic he wanted. "That's not important, just tell me what to say when the press asks about why we weren't doing more to protect the citizens."
"Tell them to talk to the warden at Pentonville about the escaped prisoner and his connections to Trevor Lansing. That should keep them occupied."
Watching as the coward all but ran from the room, Mac wished he had proof of what he suspected in regards to his connections to Lansing.
Alexis was staring into the cell, seeing the woman sitting within, she said "The desk sergeant said you were asking about me."
"Are you Alexis Davis?"
"Yes, I am."
"I heard them talking they say you are the best attorney in town, I want to hire you."
"You have got to be kidding. For the record among other things, I wouldn't represent you even if you were pleading guilty. Then there is the small conflict of interest. Your daughter is a friend of mine and I am her personal attorney."
"Then can you recommend someone locally with no connections to the Quartermaines?"
Alexis pretended to think on it then said "There is Ric, Ric Lansing, but since he has been in a coma for the last year, my guess is he would sleep right though the hearing. Now if you will excuse me."
Mac was looking for is wife when he saw Emily Quartermaine make it past the desk sergeant and head straight towards him. Sighing he said "No, just like I told Carly and Bobbie and even Luke five minutes ago."
"You don't know what I am here for." She smiled sweetly at him. "I could just want to know about Tom Baker."
"Really, well how about I send an officer over to the hospital to explain things to you. I am sure you would like Nik to be there for comfort."
"No I really think that I should hear it now. I will just sit at one of the desks until someone becomes available.
Mac wasn't a father for nothing, he knew when to give up. Taking out his cuffs, he said "Well, how about since you are resisting leaving I put you in a cell."
"A nice cell with a roomy, I really hate to be alone." She said holding out her arms. Mac just gave in; placing the cuffs on her he went through the ritual of Miranda and then took her down to the cells ignoring the strange looks from his officers. Seeing his wife leaving, he said "Great, I gave orders for you to not be allowed down there."
"A prisoner requested a local attorney. I was just informing her it would be a conflict of interest for me to represent her."
Mac wondered when he had lost control of his own station, when after locking Emily in a cell, he came up the stairs to see a drunk Luke Spencer. "Place him in the drunk tank. Garcia how is the nose?"
"I think the old fool broke it. What the hell got into everyone today?" He said storming off to get his nose looked at.
Mac noticed that his lead detective wasn't back yet and went to call Taggert only to be told he was in a traffic jam on his way back from Pentonville. Calling the traffic guys, he found out there was no traffic jams between the station and there.
Hating what he had to do, Mac called Colorado himself. After listening to the report, he asked if they were sure. "I know it wouldn't be cost effective, but for a parent to..."
Hanging up he went down to the cells and told Emily that her fiancee was coming to get her in an hour.
"Nik must be a little pissed." She said cheerfully as she sat down next to her new best buddy who didn't look so enthused by the talkative brunette's conversation.
"Stopping to get bail money, Luke hit one of my officers." He said walking away.
Elizabeth had forgotten her small scheme of revenge until Carly had reminded her. Giggling as Lia ate for the third time she told her. "Your Aunt Emily is going to be a little upset with me. But don't worry she will love being your godmother. We still aren't sure on your godfather though."
"How are my beautiful wife and daughter doing?" Asked Jason from the entrance. Elizabeth groaned when she saw him.
"I wish you didn't clean up so well." She said as he sat down beside her in a suit and tie. "Why are you so dressed up?"
Kissing her, he said "I had something to take care of, that required dress clothes. So they do something for you."
"You do something for me; the clothes are just window dressing. Do you want to hold Lia or wait until after I burp her?"
"I will do it." He said before taking off his suit jacket and putting a receiving blanket on his shoulder. When Elizabeth carefully handed him the little girl, he felt his heart stopping. "She is so small."
"They always are. Michael was here earlier; he asked why she was so quiet. That Morgan made way more noise." Elizabeth realized that Jason wasn't tapping the little girl hard enough, and eased her hand over his to show him what Epiphany had shown her.
"Are you sure it won't hurt her?"
"No, it's perfect." She said softly. "I want to paint you like that."
Jason looked up and meet her eyes wondering how it was possible she was ever more beautiful today. Her hair had been growing out, and was loosening up to waves instead of curls. She still had the glow that had been with her throughout her pregnancy.
"Jason, are you in there?" She asked.
Pulling his mind back, he reached over to tug at one of the loose curls. "You know you grow more beautiful-"
"Gross!"
Jason turned and saw Michael with Sonny. The older man was trying not to smile as his son expressed disgust at the romantic talk. "Just wait Michael, some day that will be you."
"Not likely. I don't ever intend to have babies. Uncle Jason, do you know where Aunt Emily is, she isn't answering her phone."
Monica entered the room dressed in surgical scrubs. "She is in jail, don't worry though. I think she asked Mac to arrest her. I would have thought she would have more imagination than that, but instead she went for the straightforward approach and asked to be arrested."
"Should I send Diane?"
"No, Nik is on his way. Elizabeth, your mother is still in a cell."
"Someone arrested Elizabeth's mom?" Asked Michael.
"No, not really. It's a long story; I will explain it later." Said an entering Carly with Morgan. "We should do like they did back in the Middle Ages and betroth these two.
"Uh, Carly. They are first cousins, remember?" Asked Sonny amused as she handed Morgan to him to try and take Lia but Jason just glared at her.
"Or not." She shrugged. "Jason eventually you are going to have to let someone else hold her."
He growled under his breath not if I can help it to the amusement of the rest of them. Michael asked if she had hair because she was a girl.
"No, some babies do, you did." Said Jason as he realized his daughter was asleep. "Mom, how did you get the family to stay away?"
"Edward had to deal with Tracy and Skye. Skye went behind his back and made a deal with Tracy so that she can go to Europe this summer. Tracy tried to start trouble after the paperwork was signed. Ned and AJ backed Skye causing Tracy to lose it just before a press conference announcing her temporarily stepping in as head of ELQ."
Emily just kept talking, not letting Carolyn get a word in edgewise. When she finally reached Liz's almost marriage to Lucky and Sarah's sleeping with Lucky she was wishing for some water, but this was too much fun.
"My daughter would never do that." Interrupted Carolyn.
"True, I exaggerated a little. Elizabeth only slapped Sarah, I was wishing she would punch the slut. Now where was I oh, yes, this is when Jason returned for the last time."
Carolyn wished the talkative annoyance would just shut up, so far she had to hear about how the Quartermaine's were just misunderstood saints, the local criminal element were one step short of angels and that her daughter was an amoral slut.
When she had tried to tune the girl out, she had just moved over next to her and kept going. What did it take to shut her up? Hearing the drunk in the next cell going on and on about his insane wife and crazy son, she just wanted to get away. Far away.
Then the second drunk started to hit on her. "So sweet thing, have you ever thought of dancing? I own myself a really classy club. Even as old as you are, you could make some serious cash."
Emily stopped talking stunned as the sleazy man in the cell with Luke just started hitting on Elizabeth's stepmother. This was priceless. When he got around to what she could do in the backrooms, Emily had to say something.
"Hey, you are Coleman, right. You own the Oasis?"
"So has the beauticious Quartermaine daughter heard of me?" He asked preening.
"Only from when my sister in law stripped for you. So do you think that Carolyn here could make more money than Courtney?"
"With lap dances, Daisy made really good money, since she got into it, but the hot number next to you might be better on the poles. The men like the fire and ice combination." He leered not realizing that Emily was laughing.
"Shut up, just shut up. Take your disgusting mind and stay away from me." Said Carolyn trying to find away out of the cell.
"Quartermaine, Spencer you are out of here." Announced the officer as he joined them. "Spencer you need to take care of your paperwork with Mac before you go."
"Why am I still in this jail cell?"
"Sorry ma'am, You are Detective Taggert's case and he is taking care of your paperwork as soon as he returns from Pentonville."
Emily stopped at the edge of the hallway and turned to Carolyn and said "I have a question, if you didn't want Elizabeth, why did you work so hard to help Jeff get his daughter."
"Someone had to pay for his not loving me. Why not the daughter of the woman who stole him away."
Emily shook her head in disgust and said "No one owes you anything, When you are released I would leave town. You make me sick, I just sat there and told you all about Elizabeth's rape and all you did was roll your eyes, yet you were upset about someone searching Sarah's luggage. You have some screwed up priorities and not a shred of human kindness.
I never thought that anyone existed who was a worse relative than my fiancée's grandmother, but I think you just knocked Helena out of the top spot. Elizabeth was an innocent child, just like any other baby, I wouldn't have cared if Annie had tried to kill you, you had no right to harm her like you did."
"I get so sick of hearing how Elizabeth deserved better, she should have never been born, if I had done my part right, she would have never been allowed to live. But the wrong baby died and I was stuck taking in Annie's misbegotten bastard. Jeff should have been mine; first your mother tried to ruin it then some no name nurse with a Mother Teresa complex. I was not going to let her unwanted brat ruin my life."
"Lady, you are a piece of work." Emily said leaving the area, seeing Nik she went into his arms. Smelling perfume on him she asked about it.
"Let's just say I have had an interesting afternoon." Taking out his handkerchief he showed her the different colors of lipstick on it. "If Elizabeth's didn't have bigger worries I would ring her neck."
Johnny took the call and thanked the man. Turing to Marco he said "We have to get to Mary Bishop tonight. They found her husband. Jason wants this handled very carefully. You read the file."
"Stan is working on it even as we speak."
"Good, while we are dealing with the nutcases, I heard the latest tape from Zachara's room; we have to let his son know."
"What about Lansing, we do we take care of him?"
"Francis is dealing with him, right after he deals with a small annoyance."
