Title: Rewrite the Stars
Chapter 55
***Elizabeth's House***
Spinelli: "I can't believe that Dante didn't believe us, Stonecold. You'd think he would want to find her as much as we do."
Jason: (shakes his head) "Even though he knows Elizabeth was kidnapped, we have no proof it was Sam. I think he's an idiot, but it is what it is. You and I will have to be the ones to provide it. Being her SUV is at GH and her things are there too, maybe she's being held captive there, too."
Spinelli: "I can't help but agree with you. All the signs are pointing to GH."
Jason: "I still don't know where that damn laundry cart disappeared to once it went into the elevator that those two people pushed."
(Spinelli gets out his laptop and looks all over the floors, all over the hospital, but comes up empty)
Spinelli: "Stonecold, unless there's a secret floor somewhere in the hospital that we're unaware of, I don't know where that cart went to that possibly had The Maternal One. I want to kindly remind you, though, that there's no proof Fair Elizabeth was even in that cart…even though all signs point to it."
Jason: (sighs deeply) "I know that, Spinelli. But it's the only lead we have right now. I want you to hack into the PCPD database. When Dante calls Sam to ask her questions on Elizabeth's disappearance, I want to be there, as well." (eyes darken) "I have my own questions for my bitch of an ex."
Spinelli: "I have no problem doing it. I just don't want you to get into trouble. Dante will wonder how you know Sam was at the PCPD."
Jason: "I'll call Diane and warn her."
(Jason calls Diane Miller and tells her what happened to Elizabeth. How he believes Sam is involved even though there is no proof. He finally tells her what he wants to do)
Diane: (warning tone) "Don't do anything rash, Jason. You need all your strength to find Elizabeth."
Jason: "What if I 'hypothetically' had Spinelli do something?"
Diane: (groans) "Oh, God. It's illegal, isn't it? Okay, what is the 'hypothetical' thing?"
Jason: "I 'hypothetically' had Spinelli hack into the PCPD database so when Dante calls Sam into questioning her, I'll know about it and be right there with questions of my own."
(Diane moans loudly again)
Diane: "I shouldn't be surprised you had Spinelli do something like that. I strongly advise you to stay away from Sam if/when she is going to be questioned by Dante at the PCPD."
Jason: (sighs deeply) "If Sam knows where my girl is, Diane, I'm going to find out."
(Diane groans and chuckles dryly)
Diane: "You are just like Sonny…you don't follow orders."
Jason: "Isn't that why you get paid the big bucks?"
(Diane could tell there was a hint of humor in his voice)
Diane: "I swear, you may be more expensive than Sonny, especially right now."
(Jason can't resist the chuckle from escaping his mouth)
Jason: "I love working with you, too, Diane."
(They both end the call)
***Underground Sub-Laboratory***
Liz: "I know Sam very well. I've known Jason since my teens and we came close so many times to being a couple. We shared plenty of kisses, as well. I eventually moved on and so did Jason, due to unforeseen circumstances. Enter Sam. Their romance was slow at first, but eventually went full speed ahead. What Sam did NOT like was that Jason never abandoned his friendship with me. I never abandoned my friendship with him, either. That drove Sam nuts and she always felt he chose me over her even though he chose their relationship. He made it clear, though, that he doesn't abandon his friends." (chuckles lightly) "Sam once cheated on Jason with Ric Lansing when Sam and Jason got into a huge fight. In fact, Jason walked in on it. When I was with Lucky Spencer and he was high on pills, I left him after a horrible argument. I needed a friend, so I went to see Jason. We didn't plan on it, but we slept together and I ended up pregnant with our son Jake despite using protection."
Cyrus: (smirks) "I'm guessing Sam didn't like that too much."
Liz: "Ha-ha. Nope. She accused me of getting pregnant on purpose. Jason told her the Quartermaine condoms were faulty, but she didn't believe him. Sam was always mad that Jason and I shared a child. Jason did love Sam but he never apologized for his friendship with me." (smiles) "He always considered all my boys his even when he believed they weren't his."
Cyrus: (curiously) "The way you make it sound, that has changed, hasn't it?"
Liz: (nods) "It has, but Sam doesn't know that yet."
Cyrus: "It sounds like Sam is jealous of you and your friendship/relationship with Jason."
Liz: "She always has been. I respected her relationship with Jason or her friendship with him, but she never gave me the same courtesy. The main thing besides Jason is Sam HATES how close I am with her son, Danny." (sighs in defeat) "I just…I feel that Sam doesn't fully appreciate her son Danny because Jason is no longer in the picture." (scoffs) "Sam is more concerned with getting Jason back than being a mom to Danny."
Cyrus: (tilts his head) "How do you know that?"
Liz: "I have spoken to Danny a few times. He says he feels neglected by Sam."
(A light smile forms on Elizabeth's face as she speaks again)
Liz: "Danny even admitted to me he considered me his mom. I told him I loved him and he's my little buddy. While I reminded Danny Sam loves him in her own way, I told him to follow his heart."
(Cyrus nods in response. He was beginning to realize that Sam isn't who she says she is. He couldn't help but believe Elizabeth as he didn't think she'd lie about details like this. Cyrus felt Sam was too out there)
(Elizabeth must have sensed that he believed her because he was lightly nodding his head)
Liz: "Did what I say come as a shock to you?"
(Cyrus faces Elizabeth and chuckles)
Cyrus: "In my line of work, I've come to realize not to underestimate people."
(After hearing that Elizabeth said that about Sam, he feels she is up to no good. He was beginning to think that he made a mistake in partnering up with her. He faces Elizabeth and offers a smile)
Cyrus: "Thank you for your insightfulness. You gave me a lot to think about."
(Cyrus thinks momentarily and turns his head a bit, narrowing his eyes)
Cyrus: "You're not lying to me about Sam, are you?"
Liz: (shrugs) "What do I have to gain by lying to you? I have tried to be nice to Sam. She continues to stab me in the back." (shakes her head) "No more. You deserve to know who you've partnered up with…" (smirks) "…even though you continuously deny it."
(Cyrus nods in response and can't help but see Elizabeth's point. He had a lot to think about)
(Meanwhile, at the PCPD, Dante calls Sam)
Sam: "Dante, this is a surprise. What's up?"
Dante: "I'd like you to come down to the PCPD, please. I have some questions for you regarding Elizabeth Baldwin's disappearance."
Sam: "Okay. I need to drop off Danny at school. After that, I'll be there."
Dante: "Thank you. I'll see you soon."
(Call ends. Sam nods in determination)
Sam: "Showtime."
