"We need to operate." The doctor said simply.
Lois gasped. "What?"
"She's so young..." Ned murmured.
"She is young." the doctor commented. "But operations
on young children are
not as uncommon as you might assume." He paused."She
has some internal
bleeding. It's minimal damage, but... we do need to operate.
She's stable
enoguh now. We need someone to sign the consent forms."
~~
"What?" Stefan was taken aback by Katherine's remark.
"You heard me." She said, narrowing her eyes into a glare.
"I won't keep
silent. Nothing you do or say will change that. Nikolas
*will* know what I
know."
"You wouldn't...."
"I would, could and will!" She exclaimed. "Helena already
knows." She added
nastily.
"You told my mother?" Stefan asked, his voice full of
cold rage. She nodded,
pleased with herself and it was all he could do not to
attack her. "How dare
you!" He thundered. Then in a colder, composed, and much
more frightenting
voice, "You will pay dearly for that."
~~
"It was nice to meet you." Gina said politely. "If you'll excuse me..."
"Sure. Goodbye." Nikolas nodded.
She smiled and walked over to where Jagger was.
Nikolas approached Taggert. "What will Helena be charged
with if Katherine is
indeed alive?" He asked him, catching Taggert off his
guard.
"Well, well, Mr. Cassadine. Nice to see you."
"Are you going to answer my question?"
"Oh, body stealing. Possibly attenpted murder. The possibilities
are endless."
Taggert smiled and shrugged before walking off.
"Jagger?" Gina caught his attention.
He looked up from his report. "Oh, hey Gi. What's up?"
"I have to cancel. I can't meet you for lunch." She said
with a sigh. "I'm on
my way to campus. I have a *huge* paper that was just
assigned. I'll be at the
library for the next ten hours, probably."
He nodded. "We're swamped too." He sighed.
"What happened?"
"Brenda Barret was found, murdered, this morning."
"No?" Gina asked. But Jagger nodded. "That's horrible."
~~
Carly looks at AJ, shocked. Somehow, they'd managed to
wrench the pillow away
from her, saying that she'd see "Michael" later.
"Why did you have me released?" She asked him.
"You looked like you could use some help." He said simply.
"But...but..." She was flustered, confused. "You hate me."
"No. No, I don't." He sighed. "I don't hate you, Carly."

Jerry arrives at the police station as Jax has finished
giving his statement.
"How're you doing?" He asked his brother.
"Badly. Brenda is dead. I...I just... can't believe it."
He sighed. "Who would
kill her?" Jerry had a thoughtful look on his face. He
looked at Jerry.
"What?"
"I met Veronica Barret this morning." Jerry said simply.
"She seemed a little
out of sorts."
"You don't think...?"
"I don't know. What do you think?" Jerry asked.
"She's capable of it, I suppose." Jax said, glancing at
Jerry. "I don't really
know."

Veronica smiled and took the tea into her room. She turned
on the tape
recorder and listened to the music as she drank her tea.
She fell back into
the memory.
[["But I..." Veronica started.]]
[["Don't. Don't even try to explain."]]
[["No one understands!" Veronica fumed. "I thought you'd
understand. You were
supposed to understand!"]]
[["What that you're a tramp?" Brenda shot back.]]
[[Veronica was taken aback. She...]]
The phone rang interrupting her thoughts. She picked it up. "Hello?"
~~
Alexis and Dara talked for awhile longer.
"We can't really do anything until Katherine is proved
to be Katherine, or
not." Dara said finally.
"What makes you think that the proof won't be manufactured?"
Alexis asked. "We
will find out that she's Katherine, but that doesn't
mean that it's the
truth."
~~
Lois and Ned watched as Brooke Lynn was taken into surgery.
Each one had tears
in there eyes. Lois sat on a chair, close to sobbing.
Ned stood against a
wall, a few feet away, and looked on, as if in a daze.
~~
Jagger got up to leave the station and ran right into
a woman he knew very
well. Her chestnut hair swung around her, her face registered
with shock that
it was him.
"Jagger?" She asked shocked.
"Karen." He said, with more sadness than shock.
