Jamual is sitting silently in the evidence room studying every shred of evidence. 
Jamual: If it's not Julie then what the hell is the J about! 
He slams the folder down on the desk. Then suddenly he remembers something Serena suggested awhile back. 
Jamual: Maybe it's someone connected to Julie? 
Jamual frowns unsertenly. Then grabs the phone and calls his friend in the FBI 
Jamual: Hey Clint listen when you found Julie was there any sign that she had contact with anyone from Port Charles say maybe a Chris Ramsey. She was married to him for a time. 
Jamual: Okay thanks 
Jamual continues looking over the evidence as Clint checks his own evidence. Soon Clint comes back to the phone. Jamual listens hopefully. 
Clint: Sorry Jamual there is no sign that she had any contact with anyone in the states since she left. 
Jamual sighs in frustration and rubs his face. 
Jamual: Okay thanks Clint. What about friends or family did she have any there? Did she re marry? 
Clint: No she never re married and as for friends well Julie and Christina lived a pretty seclueded life. I think the most people saw of her came when she had to start going to a clinic for treatment of her cancer. 
Jamual nods 
Jamual: Well what about Christina? Did you question her at all has she had contact with Mr. Ramsey? 
Clint: Actually we couldn't find Christina. 
Jamual: What do you mean you couldn't find her? Didn't she live with Julie? 
Clint: Well she deffinetly lived with her. Her pictures were everywhere and a good number of her clothes were still in the closet. But no one had seen her for for months. 
Jamual sighs 
Jamual: Dose anyone know where she might have gone? 
Clint: No one is really sure. Their neibors said that Christina was absolutly devistated by her mothers death and tried to kill herself about a month after her Mom died. She was treated and seemed to be getting better. Then suddenly she became very angry and a little crazy. People would hear her yelling at the top of her lungs in the house but as far as they know no one was there. She'd be seen muttering to herself in public, and doing all sorts of research on events that happend between 99 and 2000. She started calling the police at all hours claiming that people were trying to steel her. She'd go to her mothers grave and if you walked anywhere near her she'd start screaming that you were trying to hurt her mother. Then one day she seemed fine again. People saw her in the streets smiling and whistling. They said she seemed to be doing alot of shopping and was very buzy. One morning her neibors saw her get in her car with several suit cases and leave. But she never returned they called the cops and the police searched her place. All they found was the house badly dishevaled and some of her things along with Julie's things gone as well as her pass port missing. They talked to people down town and a bus driver remembered her getting on with a bunch of suitcases and getting off at the air port. 
Jamual: Any clue where she was heading? 
Clint: No she must have used fake ID's or something because there is no record of her flying anywhere. Where ever she was off to she didn't want anyone to know about. 
Jamual's heart starts racing as his mind starts peacing it all together. 
Jamual: Clint did anyone say if she mentioned people she was angry at or if she ever said anything about people that may have hurt her mother? 
Clint: Well the people at the clinic said Julie was always worried about her daughters safty and on many occasions talked about how there were terrible people after them. She told them this everytime they tried to get her to go to a more medicly advanced place to be treated. She'd explain how when she was young she had gotten mixed up with some horrible people that had chased her and her daughter into hiding. She said they were monsters and had tried to kill her and had managed to seperate her from her husband. 
Jamual: Did she ever name names or say any of this infront of Christina? 
Clint: Oh she always had Christina with her so yes Christina always heard this. As for names let me see. 
Clint looks for a minute as Jamual's mind races 
Clint: Well she never out right said the names at the clinic but when the cops searched the house after Christina disapeared they found Julie's diary laying open on Christina's bed. There were some pretty outrages claimes in it and some pretty horrible things she described. In there she did name names and since it was in Christina's room I'm guess Christina read it. 
Jamual: What names did she name? Were they in any order? 
Clint: Well she kept refering to the master of her pain as being Kevin Collins. That he had orcostrated her fall into hell as she put it. She stated that once she managed to exscape it much to his dismay he did everything he could to ruin her life. Then she talked about alot of other people who had hurt her. She even named them in order of things they'd done. Lets see the one she seemed to talk about the most next to Kevin was Frank Scanlon, then Rachel Lock, Lucy Coe, then Eve Lamburt and Scott Baldwin, and then a Courtney Kanelos. 
Jamual gasps as he puts it all together. 
Jamual: Okay Clint listen I want you to do what ever it takes to find her. Trace everything and report back any and all information to me at once no matter how small. 
Clint: Yes sir 
Jamual: Oh and Clint thanks 
Clint: You're welcome 
They hang up. Jamual sits back in his chair and absorbs it all 
Jamual: Oh My God Christina it's you isn't it. 
Chris parks his car by the side of the road and looks around him. There is no one in sight for miles he sighs tiredly. He slowly gets out of the car and begins walking. He comes soon to the spot he was looking for. He looks at the silent building and shakes his head. 
Chris: Sleeping buety's castle it never seems to change no matter when I come or how long between my visits. 
He shakes his head and walks in and goes to the room where he and Julie so long ago brought Christina into the world. He looks at the bed sadly then sits down on it. 
Chris: How am I supposed to make sence out of any of this Julie? I loved you I loved you with everything I had. I gave you all I could but it wasn't enough. You know Julie you'd think that after how you left, and after all this time my marraige to Karen and our buetiful kids I wouldn't love you anymore. That I wouldn't care about you or feel greif over your death but here I am full of greif, and full of concern for our little Christina. Where the hell is she? Is she okay? Is she safe? Why am I worried about a grown woman that's not even mine! Then we have people getting stabbed left and right and ofcourse everyone is looking to you but I'm telling you Julie I won't be the one to put their suspisions to rest. Do you have any idea how long it took me to rebuild my reputation and to gain trust in this town after you! I'm not about to even utter your name! Do I sound angry? Well maybe I am. God Julie you were so strong why did you take the cowerds way out! Why didn't you stay here with me! 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Don't get me wrong Julie I am happy with my life. Karen is a wonderful wife and a great mother. I have two super kids and a good carrier. I couldn't ask for more I really couldn't. But I'm telling you Julie sometimes late at night I still here your voice and sometimes when I'm just starting to wake up I see your face. When is that going to end Julie when. 
Chris sighs 
Chris: I guess you are wondering why I'm here? Why do I insist on coming back here when ever my mind is full. Julie this is where we began and where you chose for it to end. And now that you're gone it's the closest thing to a grave sight I can visit. What I don't know is why I was drawn here today. it's not like you know who the killer is or would be able or even willing to tell me. Look Julie I know you and I know your heart is good no matter what anyone else says. I guess I thought I'd get some knowledge coming here. Yeah I know that sounds silly. 
Chris shakes his head tiredly. 
Chris: Why do I even care. I know you saw good in me and I know Karen believes I'm good but most of the time I can't say I see it. Karen would say that I must or I wouldn't be here. You know Julie in the end we were both alot alike. Two lost souls convinced that being bad was better then being good. We thought that to protect ourselves we had to make enimies. I know you didn't always think like that. Before Greg you were nothing like that. Though I must say I think you always had it in you. I miss you even after all this time Julie I miss you. I miss Christina to I think I will always see her as mine. I know she never really was but in my heart she's my first born and there is nothing I wouldn't do for her. I just hope and pray where ever she is she's okay. I know you're watching over her but I wish I could be near her just the same. You know from the day she was born till now she always feels like mine. 
Chris sighs. 
Chris I imagen she always will. Why couldn't you have somehow let me known where she was before you died. You promised her on this very bed that I'd always be there for her but now you've made that imposible. 
Chris rubs his tired face and cries. Then over come with tiredness lays down on the bed and falls asleep. As he sleeps he starts dreaming he sees a person in his dream stabing people. The person has on a mask. Chris runs to the person and grabs them when they turn around their mask comes off. While he dosn't recognize the face he knows exactly who it is. Chris gasps. He wakes up in a cold sweat. 
Chris: NOOOOO! 
Chris tries to catch his breath as his heart races. 
Chris: That's it isn't it. Oh God that's it! 
He jumps up and runs from the place to his car and drives off feaverishly. 

Kevin stairs at Christina in utter disbelief. She walks over to him with pure rage in her eyes. 
Christina: YOU DESTROYED MY FAMILY, AND KILLED MY MOTHER YOU BASTERED!! 
She raises her and and slaps Kevin across the face as hard as she can. Christina takes a deep breath re composing herself. 
Christina: You have gotten away with your evil actions for far to long. Tonight my Mother will get her revenge. 
Christina walks back over to the little table with the candles and picture of Julie on it. She picks up the picture and strokes it lovingly. 
Christina: Oh Mama I miss you so much. 
She wipes a tear from her face and places the picture back on the table then turns back to Kevin. 
Christina: Tonight you will pay. But first want to make sure that pompus brain of yours understands your crimes. 
She picks up a tablet off the cot stands infront of Kevin glairing at him and clears her throat. 
Christina: In 1998 you aided in the brain washing and framing of my mother for crimes she didn't commit. GULTY! 
Christina wips Kevin across the face hard with a metle buckle attached to a belt. 
Christina: in the late summer and early fall of 99 you did all you could to stop my parants from getting married. You even stooped to having her thrown into a mental hospital which she clearly did not need! GUILTY! 
Christina wips Kevin across the face again with the buckle. 
Christina: In the late fall of 99 and early winter of 2000 you did all you could to keep my mother locked up and away from me for things she wouldn't do all because she wouldn't sleep with you!! GUILTY!! 
Christina wips Kevin across the face again. 
Christina: In the winter and early spring of 2000 you spread slanderus lies about my mother and did all you could to ruin her life! You tried to stop her from having friends, from being trusted from even having a job! You did all you could to make her life misrable! GUILTY! 
Christina wips him again across the face. 
Christina: Then in the spring of 2000 you helped that evil baby snacher Lucy kidnap me from my parants! You evil sicko! THOSE WERE MY PARANTS! 
Christina violently slaps the wip across his face several times. Then recomposes herself. Guilty. 
Christina: I was Julie and Chris's daugher Kevin I belonged with My parants not some demented lune who after having several abortions decided she wanted someone elses kid. You are guilty! She wips him again. 
Christina: Then in the summer of 2000 you forced my mother me out of town. You forced us the leave my father and her husband behind! You threw him in jail and threatend to kill him if we didn't leave! YOU MONSTER! GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY!!! 
Christina again wips him across his face violently. 
Christina: You have been found guilty of being an evil monster who destroyed my family, forced me and my mother into hiding and there by led to her death. You must and will pay. I know in most cases the accused gets to speak but I have no interest in hearing any of your vugler lies. I'm not going to kill you just yet though, you made my parants and I suffer now it's your turn. 
She looks at him with an evil grin as she raises the wip once more and strikes him hard. 

Joe arrives back at the Scanlon house and steps out of his car. He stands for a minute just looking at the house as memories flud his mind. 
Joe: You may have been a misrable person Courtney but you were still part of this family. 
Joe sighs shakes his head and heads up the steps. When he enters he finds Frank, Gabriella, Angel, Alison, Rose, and Joseph all sitting on the coutch watching TV together. 
Gabriella: Joe your back! 
Gabby runs to him and hugs him happily. Joseph and Rose run over to. 
Joseph: Dad where have you been? Did you bring us some food? 
Rose: You missed a great cake 
Gabriella: Why have you been gone so long? 
Frank: We were starting to get worried about you. 
Angel: Are you alright? 
Joe hugs his family. 
Joe: I'm fine, thanks sorry I didn't mean to worry you I just needed to take care of something 
Frank: Of what? 
Just then Neil and Frankie walk in 
Neil: What what? Hey Uncle Joe 
Frankie: Hey what's up? 
Angel: Uncle Joe was just about to tell us where he's been all day. 
Joe: Hi Neil hi Frankie. I wanted to do something for you guys. I know I haven't been there for any of you in ages and I thought it was about time I changed that. Here 
He hands Frank an envolope Frank opens it cureusly. Inside is a sertificate and brosure. 
Angel: What is it Dad? 
Frank: It's a brosure and sertificate from the national star registry. 
Neil: Oh I've heard about that on the radio you can name a star after someone. 
Frank nods and looks up with tears in his eyes 
Frank: And thanks to your uncle here there is now a star named after your Mom in the national star registry and it will be there always. 
Frankie: My Mom has her own star? That's so cool! 
Angel smiles 
Angel: Mom would deffinetly love that thankyou Uncle Joe. 
Neil: It's a great idea, I know having a star to talk to helped Serena a whole bunch of times. 
Frank: Joe thankyou it's a buetiful thought. 
The brothers hug 
Alison: It really is sweet of you. 
Joe: Well you are welcome but that's not all. 
Joe goes back out onto the portch and brings in a brand new Telescope and a map. 
Joe: This is one of the best telescopes the store had so I figure between the map and this telescope you should have no problem seeing her star when ever you want. 
Frankie: Cool! 
Frankie runs right over and starts working with it Neil comes over to help and Angel fallows only stopping long enough to hug Joe. 
Angel: You're the best. 
Joe blushes 
Joe: You're welcome. 
Frank is looking at Joe with tears in his eyes. 
Frank: God I missed you 
Joe smiles 
Joe: I missed you to 
The brothers embrace happily. 
Rose: Hey Joseph you think we'll be close even when were grown like Dad and unble Frank are? 
Joseph: I sure hope so 
Joe: So who is hungry I have a tune of food in the car. 
Alison: Oh I'll help you bring it in 
Alison runs out the door. 
Frankie: I could eat 
Angel: What's new 
Frankie gives his sister a dirty look 
Gabriella: Come on Joe I'll help you bring it in. 
They head out but she stops him on the portch. 
Joe: What is it? 
Gabriella: I just wanted to tell you how much I love you and how great I think you are. 
Joe smiles and pulls Gabby in close 
Joe: Well I think you're pretty great yourself. 
They kiss 

Jamual is studying the evidence as he waies for Clint to call back. He shakes his head as he puts it all together. 
Jamual: It all makes sence now. Christina is avenging the wrongs done to her mother one at a time. And according to the list in Julie's diary it's in the same order as the murders except 
Jamual grows quite. 
Jamual: Kevin is listed first but hasn't been attacked. 
Jamual frowns pondering this. 
Jamual: Unless his punishment was being set up and watching the people around him be attacked. 
Just then the phone rings 
Jamual: Detective Woods here 
Clint: Hey Jamual it's Clint 
Jamual: Clint! Did you find anything out about Christina's where abouts? 
Clint: Sure did several months ago she was spotted in New Yorks LaGuardia Airport boarding a plain for Port Charles New York. 
Jamual nearly drops the phone 
Jamual: Oh My God I think we just broke the case! Okay listen I need you to fax me the most recent picture of Christina you have ASAP. 
Clint: No problem I'll get right on it. 
They hang up. Soon after the fax mushine starts ringing. Slowly a snap shot imerges. Jamual picks it up. He looks down at the picture of the very pretty young woman. He shakes his head as he looks at the picture. 
Jamual: So you are our killer huh. Funny how someone so pretty and related to Frank no less could be so leathal. Well we'll find you that's for sure. 
just then anuther officer pokes his head in. 
Officer: Detective Woods sorry to interupt but the comisioner has asked if you could help locate Dr. Collins he is aparently missing. 
The officer leaves Jamual stands there for a minute absorbing it all then looks back at the list. 
Jamual: OH MY GOD SHE'S GOT HIM! 
Jamual still holding the picture grabs his coat and runs out the door. 

Lucy is driving franticly through the streets of Port Charles looking everywhere for Kevin. As she pears through the window she talks to herself. 
Lucy: Come on Doc where could you be! 
Suddenly a vision comes to Lucy. She sees a dark, cold, and damp place. It looks like a cave to her. She sees Kevin tied to a chair and a formilure looking person standing over him with a knife. Lucy's heart nearly pounds out of her chest. 
Lucy: OH GOD NO! OKay calm down Lucy just calm down. But where could he be where is that place! There aren't any caves around here! Well except for 
Lucy stops mid sentence as it occures to her. 
Lucy: OFCOURSE THE CATICOMBS THAT'S IT! 
Lucy turns the car around and heads off to the caticombs 

Karen is sitting on the coutch reading a magizine the kids are in their rooms doing their own thing when the phone rings. 
Karen: Hello? 
Chris: Karen! Oh Thank God you're there! 
Karen is starteled and a bit frightend by the urgancy in Chris's voice. She laughs nurvesly 
Karen: Well ofcourse I am, Chris where are you? 
Chris: Karen I don't have time to explain just please listen to me and do exactly what I say please! 
Karen's heart is now pounding 
Karen: Chris what is wrong? 
Chris: Karen I think I know who the killer is and You need to protect yourself and the kids it's urgent! Put the phone down now and go lock all the windows and the front door and put the security on now. 
Karen: Chris 
Chris: Karen please I don't have time just go do it while I waite please hurry! 
Karen: Alright alright 
Karen puts down the phone hurridly and races around locking everything and putting the security on. Her heart is raceing 
Karen: Chris I'm back 
Chris: Did you lock everything up? 
Karen: Yes and I put on the security. 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Okay good good. Listen under no sercomstances do I want you to anwser the door not for anyone. I'll call you when I get to the door and you can open it. I mean it Karen don't open it for anyone no matter who it is. I have to go I love you 
Chris hangs up. Karen stairs at the phone dumb struck. She hangs it up and sits back down on the coutch suddenly feeling anything but safe. 

Frank is upstairs in his room looking sadly at a picture of Courtney. 
Frank: Nothing is going to be the same with out you Court. 
He strokes the picture lovingly. Just then there is a nock at the door. Frank puts the picture down clears his throat and rubs his face. 
Frank: Come in 
Frankie comes in slowly. 
Frank: Hey there champ come sit with me. 
Frank holds him arm out and motions Frankie to sit next to him. Frankie plops down beside him. 
Frank: So how are you holding up? 
Frankie shrugs 
Frankie: I don't know one minute I feel like I want to cry the next I want to punch something. 
Frank nods and puts his arm around his son. 
Frank: Those are very understandible ways to feel. But it will get easier Frankie and I promis Jamual will catch this monster. 
Frankie nods 
Frankie: I hope you're right 
Frank: I know I am 
Frankie: How come you're always so confident? 
Frank: Well I guess I've learned that in life no matter how bad things get they always get better, and the best way to get through something is hold on tight and look to tomarrow. 
Frankie nods 
Frankie: Speaking of the future can I ask you something? 
Frank: Sure what's up? 
Frankie: Well you know that spring fling dance is coming up soon. I was thinking I wouldn't go 
Frank: No Frankie you should deffinetly go. You need to your Mom would want you to. You shouldn't stop living your life. 
Frankie: Well I would like to 
Frank: Well then you should. So who is the lucky girl? 
Frankie: Well I was origenally going stag but I kind of bumped into this really sweet girl at the vidio place tonight. She's pretty, smart, cool, and great at games. 
Frank: Sounds like a winner to me. 
Frankie: But she's kind of younger then me. 
Frank: How much younger? 
Frankie: 4 years, she lost her mom two and I guess I just feel conected to her. 
Frank: Well it's just a dance so I don't think the age is a big deal and if being around her makes you feel better then you should deffinetly take her. How did her Mom die. 
Frankie:The J killer it's Randi Baldwin. 
Frank is a bit taken aback. 
Frank: Well you sertenly have a conection. 
Frankie: You still think it's okay 
Frank sighs 
Frank: What I think is that she's your friend and it helps you to be with her and probubly dose her some good to make you feel better. 
Frankie half smiles 
Frankie: How do you always make things so simple? 
Frank laughs 
Frank: Well I don't know about simple I guess I just fallow my heart and advize others to do the same. 
Frankie nods 
Frankie: Okay I'll call her tomarrow. 
Frank nods 
Frank: Sounds good 
Frankie gets up to leave Frank stands and they embrace then Frankie leaves the room. 
Frank picks up the picture of Courtney and half way smiles 
Frank: And the beat gose on. 

Chris is driving around franticly keeping his eyes peeled his heart racing a mile a minute. 
Chris: God please let me find her before she hurts anyone else of gets hurt. God please let me find her. 
Tears are coming down his face in buckets thinking of the day she was born. 
Chris: Dammit! She had so much promis, so much potential, I had such hopes for her we both did! How could she be like this how could she do this! DAMIT JULIE! 
Chris punches the steering wheel. 
Chris: If only you hadn't run with her. We could have won her back I know we could of. If only she had been raised here with me this never would have happend! 
Chris takes a deep breath and sighs 
Chris: Don't worry Julie I won't abandon her. She might not be mine by blood but in every other way she is. I will never turn my back on her. But where the hell could she be! 
Chris looks around in frustration hawnking his horn at slow drivers. 
Chris: Okay Ramsey think she's not formilure with this town the only places she would think to hide would be places Julie told her about. 
Chris starts running down the list of places he went with Julie, places Julie liked to go, and places she had gone or hid during the whole Cooper mess. 
Chris: Okay okay I'm sure she wouldn't hide somewhere she could easily be spotted or in an open place. And if she's out for revenge for Julie then she wouldn't go near any of Julie's enimies or one time friends. It's got to be a hiding place a spot Julie used. 
Chris gets a puzzled look on his face. 
Chris: No one else was at fairy tale land, and the Stanton Mansion was torn down years ago. 
Suddenly it hits Chris 
Chris: Oh My God ofcourse the CATICOMBS! 
Chris turns the car around and heads off. 

Kevin is sitting still tied to the chair with tape over his mouth. Christina is kneeling by the table with the candles and Julie's picture. She has been there for awhile now just silently stairing at the picture. She rises and walks over to Kevin. She slaps him hard across the face. 
Christina: You hurt my family in so many ways I can't even begin to count them. You not only hurt them physically, and emotionally, you not only stole from them and ruined their lives but you played mind games with them. Well now it's my turn. I will see to it you pay for what you put my mother and father through. 
Christina gose to a bag on her cot and pulls out a huge bottle of something. She carries it over to Kevin and stands there holding it. 
Christina: You know they say that memories can be more painful at times then real life and if you know the write triger you can really get to someone. 
She shows the label on the bottle to Kevin. He cringes as he reads. Jasmine Purfume on the label. Christina turns her head towards Julie's picture. 
Christina: I think it's time we sent old Kevin here down memory lane don't you Mom 
She smiles and nods at her picture. 
Christina: I agree. 
Christina looks at Kevin with absolute hate unscrews the cap and proceeds to pour the entire contents of the perfume over Kevin head. It stings and burns his eyes, nose and skin, it sends his mind swiming in memories and causes his heart to race. Once she has emptied the last little bit onto him she stands back and smiles at him clearly pleased with her work as he squerms in his seat. Kevin is practicly gaging from the smell he is blinking his eyes trying to see streight as the perfume burns his eyes. Christina walks over to her suite case and pulls out a vidoe tape. 
Christina: My mother told me all about how you care so much for a select few especially for that good for nothing baby snatching hore Lucy. Well I thought you might enjoy seeing how I stabbed her. 
She rolls a small TV and VCR over infront of Kevin. 
Christina: I supose you are wondering how I managed to tape it well it was quite easy really. I simply entered with it recording and sat it down in a good spot then waited for that worthless rech to show herself. 
Christina puts the tape in and pushes play. Right before Kevin's horrer filled eyes he watches as Lucy comes out of the bed room Christina grabs her and then stabs her, then takes her blood and writes a J on the wall. 
Christina: I don't think you saw it well enough. 
Christina rewinds it and forces Kevin to watcfh it again. She dose this three more times. 
Christina: Okay that's enough. 
She shuts it off and hits Kevin hard in the face with the remote. 
Christina smiles again quite pleased with herself then puts the TV back where it was. Just then they both hear a noise Christina jumps looking around. They listen a little more and it soon becomes clear that it's foot steps Then quickly taking a bat she stands by the entrance to the small chamber. The foot steps get louder and louder. As the person aproaches Christina raises the bat ready to strike who ever it maybe. 

Kevin's heart is practily pounding out of his chest. He can hear the person getting closer and he can see the anger in Christina's eyes. He wants to yell for the person to run but with the tape over his mouth he can only make muffled cries. Just then he sees Lucy practily running come around the bend. Before he or Lucy can even react to the sight of one anuther Christina slams Lucy in the head as hard as she can with the bat. Kevin screems inside as Lucy falls to the ground unconscious. Christina looks down at her with utter discust 
Christina: Well if it isn't the baby snatcher of the year. 
She grabs Lucy by her pony tale and drags her across the room. She gets Lucy in a chair and ties her up then puts tape over her mouth. Christina looks at Lucy who is still unconscious and spits on her. 
Christina: You evil peace of trash you will pay for trying to take me from my parants. 
Christina slaps her. Kevin stairs at Lucy tears streaming down his face. There is blood coming from her head he knows she's hurt bad. Christina sees Kevin stairing walks over and slaps him hard. 
Christina: Hey it's her own fault she shouldn't have come here, and don't worry about her head she won't be living long enough to die from that! 
Christina laughs wickedly 
Christina: I really had ment for tonight to be just about your destruction but you know this works out far better. Now I can eliminate both of you! 
Christina turns to her mothers picture and blows a kiss. Then she looks back at Kevin 
Christina: I was going to take care of you right now but I can't let you die before Lucy. So why don't you just sit there while I figure out just how to make this as painful as I can for you both. 
Christina smiles punches Kevin in the stomach then goes and sits on the cot looking over some papers she has. Kevin closes his eyes and prayes that someone will find them in time. 
Chris arrives at the caticombs his heart racing his palms sweating. He tries to get out of the car but forgets to unbuckle his seat belt. He curses it undose it and gets out slamming the door. Chris looks around not quite sure of his next move. The night is silent to silent and the dark evening seems to have reached a new shade of dark. Chris sighs gose to his trunk and pulls out a flash light. As he closes the trunk and turns on the flashlight his mind flashes back to the time in the park when he felt someone watching him.
Chris: It was you wasn't it Christina. You've been watching all of us haven't you. 
Chris starts forward with the flashlight then stops 
Chris: What the hell am I doing! I don't even know if she knows who I am! For all I know she might try and kill me to! What am I supposed to say please Christina don't hurt anyone else it's not what your mother and I would want. Come on Ramsey you must be really full of yourself now if you think that's going to stop her. She's beyond that! 
Chris sighs and rubs his face 
Chris: But Julie is your mother and I loved her and God help me I love you to. You are as much mine as if I'd helped create you. 
Chris takes a deep breath. 
Chris: And Julie would want me to do this further more Karen needs me to do this. And lastly as the man that thinks of you as his own daughter I need to do this. 
Chris with new found confidence and determination sets out with his flashlight. 

Serena, Hope, and Faith are driving around franticly looking everywhere they can for any sign of Lucy or Kevin. 
Faith: Dammit! What the hell was Mom thinking! She just got out of the hospital for crying out loud! Even if there is something wrong she is in no shape to handle it! 
Hope: Oh come on Faith you know what she was thinking. She was thinking the same thing she always thinks when it comes to Dad. She was thinking I've got to protect him and to hell with everything else. 
Faith: And who the hell protects her! 
Hope thinks for a minute 
Hope: Well we do I guess 
Faith: Hope we can't even find her! HOW THE HELL CAN WE PROTECT HER WHEN WE CAN'T EVEN FIND HER! 
Serena: Faith calm down okay. We're going to find her I just know it and when we do we'll 
Serena stops mid sentince suddenly over come by a strange feeling 
Faith: We'll what 
Serena: Oh no 
Hope: Serena what's wrong? 
Hope leans forward and sees the shaken and worried look on Serena's face. 
Serena: What? Oh nothing it's fine everything is going to be fine. 
Hope looks at her knowingly 
Hope: Come on Serena I know better you have that same look Mom has when shes's sencing something what gives. 
Serena sighs 
Serena: I'm not sure I just have this very sick feeling in the pit of my stomach and I'm not sure it's like someone is calling me but I can't quite here them 
Faith: OH MY GOD I KNEW IT MOM IS IN TROUBLE I KNEW IT!! 
Hope: Serena pull over to the side of the road now! 
Serena looks confused 
Serena: What? 
Hope: Just do it okay I know what I'm talking about! 
Serena pulls off the road. Her heart is pounding now and the sickening feeling is getting worse. She can still here something in her ears but she can't place who it is or what they are saying. Once on the side of the road Hope digs in her purse and pulls out a crystal and hands it to Serena 
Hope: This is one of Mom's I grabed it as we were leaving the house. Hold onto it close your eyes and consentrate hard I think Mom's trying to tell you something. Serena seeing the seareusness in Hope's eyes takes the crystal. Almost instantly a vision fills her head. She sees Lucy unconscious and tied up in what appears to be a cave. Serena wants to scream but she holds it in. She keeps looking trying to see jmore. She sees Kevin sitting there as well. He's tied up and injured but awake. The area they are in is cold and wet Serena shivers. She consintrates harder and sees a young girl sitting on a cot looking over something. She feels that she knows the girl but she isn't sure from where. 
Serena: Come on Mom show me where you are. 
Suddenly Serena sees the out side of the place. Her eyes snap open 
Serena: THE CATICOMBS WE HAVE TO GET THERE NOW!! 
Serena puts the car in geer and heads towards the caticombs.

Chris walks quietly through the grass and trees surrounding the caticombs shinning his flash light everywhere. Everytime he hears a noise he jumps a little. 
Chris: Well Julie isn't this an interesting situation here I am searching for our daughter who has killed and injured a whole slew of people. 
Chris shakes his head sadly 
Chris: I had alot of fears about what was going to happen to Christina when you left with her but never in a million years did I think this would happen. I have to admit Julie I''m a little scared of her. How do I know she isn't going to jump out here at any second and stab me huh. 
Chris laughs angrily at himself 
Chris: I'm scared of my own daughter how is that for sick. Sure she tecknically isn't but in every other way she is. 
Chris takes a deep breath. 
Chris: Dammit Julie how is it even now you can always make me think with my heart instead of my head. I have always been able to do the smart thing. To fallow my head and keep myself safe and on track. The only exception is you and now Christina 
He shakes his head 
Chris: Cause you know if I was thinking with my head I wouldn't be anywhere near here. 
Chris takes a deep breath and enters the opening of the caticombs 

Christina finelly stands up and begins walking back over to Kevin and a still unconscious Lucy. 
Christina: Well Kevin I had planned to exocute you about now, but with the arrival of this peace of evil trash 
She nods towards Lucy with a discusted look. 
Christina: I think it would prove a far better punishment for you to watch her be torchured a little before you die. 
Kevin struggles against the ropes angrily 
Christina: Oh but don't worry she'll be joining you in hell not long after you go. 
Christina grins evily. She lifts a leather wip and begins to violently slap Lucy repeatedly with it. Then putting down the wip she takes out a lighter and begins singing Lucys toes and fingures. Lucy moans still mostly unconscious. Kevin struggles but to no avail. Suddenly they hear foot steps. Christina curses under here breath and grabs her bat. She goes towards the sound ready to nock who ever is there out. As she raises the bat a voice calls out 
Chris: Christina? 

Jamual who has been driving around franticly searching for clues finely pulls over at the side of the road. He stops rubs his head. 
Jamual: Okay Jamual where would you hide? Okay come on proses of elimination she can only be somewhere that Julie told her about since she left here when she was one.
Jamual picks up the file of Julie's he'd grabbed on his way out and starts going through it. He finds the part where Julie and Greg were held up at the Stanton place. 
Jamaul: Okay that place has been torn down Waite a sec! this gose right into the caticombs and a person could escape to Canada threw there. And since she's already killed or attacked all the people on her list and she has Kevin. . . 
Jamual quickly starts up his car and heads towards the caticombs. 

Kevin's heart is racing as his eyes dart from Lucy to Christina and back.. The voice Comes again 
Chris: Christina my name is Chris Ramsey are you here? 
Suddenly Christina's face changes all the anger and hate disapears and is replaced with utter joy and tears start to roll down her cheecks. Just then Chris rounds the corner. Before he can do anything Christina drops the bat and throws her arms around Chris hugging him tightly and crying 
Chris: DADDY DADDY I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE REALLY HERE!! I NEW YOU WOULD FIND ME!! 
As Christina continues to hug Chris and cry tears of joy Chris stands there in a state of shock holding her not sure what else to do as he looks around at an injured and unconscious Lucy and a tied up and angry Kevin. Chris tires to collect his thoughts. Christina pulls back and wipes her face. 
Christina: Oh Daddy I'm so glad you're here you're just in time!! I'm about to put the fineshing tutches on my plan to avange all the pain these people have caused you and Mom. 
Christina gives Kevin and Lucy and evil look then grabbing a very shaken looking Chris who is trying to smile she pulls him over to the picture of Julie she has set up. She kneels down infront of it 
Christina: Moma Daddy is here see you were right as always he never stopped loving us and now we can all be together to watch these demonds get what they deserve. 
Chris looks at the picture over whelmed by emotion. He reaches for it and picks it up. He gazes at it lost in thought. Christina wraps her arm around one of Chris's. 
Christina: I know Daddy I miss her to. But she's in a better place now where mean people can't hurt her. 
Christina glairs at Kevin and Lucy 
Chris puts the picture down and turns towards Christina searching for words 
Chris: I''m glad she had you by her side. 
Christina: I never left her side Daddy I was with her at the end and I swore I'd make things right. I'm so glad you're here to see it. Would you like a turn with the wip? 
Christina holds the wip out to him. 
Chris smiles and laughs nurvesly 
Chris: uh Christina 
just then they here footsteps and voices 

Faith: MOM ARE YOU HERE?! ANWSER US! 
Hope: MOM DAD CAN YOU HEAR US?! 
Serena: Will you both stop it now! We can't go walking through here yelling! For all we know someone is waiting for us! 
Hope: Then how the hell do we find her! If we don't yell she won't know we are here? 
Serena: Yeah and if we walk around screeming we won't be able to hear her and we could easily alurt the wrong people that we are here! 
Faith: You didn't seem to worried about letting the wrong people know when you bolted from the car with out the flash light! 
Serena: Okay Faith since you know so much why don't you lead us! 
Faith: CAUSE YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HAD THE VISION AND I WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK! 
Serena: WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY I'M THE ONE LEADING THIS SEARCH SO SHUT THE HELL UP OR GO WAITE OUT SIDE!! 
Faith: HEY SHE'S MY MOM AND I'M GOING TO HELP FIND HER! 
Serena: THEN STOP YELLING AND START LOOKING! 
Hope: WILL YOU BOTH SHUT THE HELL UP YOU'RE GIVING ME A HEAD ACHE! IF THERE WAS ANYONE HERE THEY'VE PROBUBLY LEFT THANKS TO ALL THIS YELLING! 
Serena takes a deep breath and sighs 
Serena: Okay look I know we are all worried and nurves but we can't let our fears get the best of us. Mom and Kevin need us to stay clam and work as a team not loose are cool and start attacking each other. That will get us no where. Now we all have flashlights and we all have good eyes so lets start looking around for clues and try not to make so much noice okay? 
Hope and Faith nod in agreement. The three some continue to move their flashlights around in search of clues 

Christina becomes red with rage upon hearing the voices. 
Christina: DAMIT!! HOW DARE ANYONE COME AND TRY TO RECK MY PLANS! MY MOTHERS PAIN WILL BE AVANGED!!! 
Christina runs and grabs a gun Chris stairs at her in schock. Realizing he must act quickly to protect Serena, Hope, and Faith as well as stop Christina from hurting anyone else he grabs Christina's arm 
Chris: Christina waite! 
Christina stairs at Chris in confusion 
Christina: Dad those people are going to stop us from killing these monster. 
She looks at Chris with a somewhat angry look and in a accusitory voice speaks 
Christina: YOU DO WANT THAT DON'T YOU OR ARE YOU ONE OF THEM! 
Chris laughs nurvesly 
Chris: Ofcourse I do you know I loved your mother more then anything. But listen lets take care of one thing at a time okay. I'm here now you don't have to do this alone. I'll go see if I can get rid of them then I'll come back and help you take care of Kevin and Lucy okay. 
Christina smiles lovingly at Chris 
Christina: Oh Daddy you're so smart okay you go get those demonds to leave and I'll keep my eye on these two. 
She looks at Kevin and Lucy with utter hate. 
Chris: Great 
Chris takes off knowing he dosn't have much time and not knowing exactly what he is going to do or say. 

Jamual quietly pulls up careful not to make a sound as he gets out with his flashlight and gun drawn. He inches closer to the cave all the while looking around him always aware of his suroundings. He slowly enters the cave his heart pounding in his ears. He steadies himself feeling the adrenilin that always come right when he catches the bad guy. He knows he's close. 
Chris races out of the little hidden room in the caticombs and soon finds Serena, Hope and Faith. When they see him running all three scream. 
Serena: IT'S HIM!! 
Faith: WHERE IS MY MOM!! 
Hope: WHAT GIVES RAMSEY!! 
Chris: Looks at them in a panic 
Chris: No it is not me and unlees you want to die hear I suggest you leave now got it! 
Serena: Not with out my mother! GET OUT OF MY WAY CHRIS! 
Serena pushes him Chris grabs onto her 
Chris: Listen to me and listen to me good. We have a very bad situation here I am doing all I can to fix it but you being here is not going to help. Now if you want to help your Mother and keep yourself safe I suggest you and your sisters leave now. 
Faith: YOU ARE PROTECTING THAT SNAKE JULIE AREN'T YOU! 
Just then Christina rounds the corner with a gun drawn. 
Christina: YOU EVIL SNAKE NO ONE TALKS ABOUT MY MOTHER LIKE THAT! 
Christina aimes her gun at Serena just as Jamual comes around the corner. Jamual aimes his gun 
Jamual: FREEZE POLICE! 
Christina whirls around aiming at Jamual. Christina pulls the trigure at the same time Jamual dose 
Chris: NO!!! 
Chris throws himself ontop of Christina as bullets fly. When the dust settles a motionless Chris lies in a pull of blood. 
 
 

Jamual is back at this office now stairing paper work. 
Jamaul: Ah hell I can't do this now!! 
Jamual sends the file flying across the room then rubs his face tiredly, and half laughs 
Jamual: I thought I'd be overjoyed and filled with relief when I nailed this lune but 
Jamual trails off as he looks at the picture of Frank he always keeps close. 
Jamual picks up the picture 
Jamual: How do I tell you the man that has been like a father to me. How do I tell you it was your own daughter who tried to kill you and did kill your wife. 
Jamual sighs and sits the picture back down. 
Jamual: The important paper work is done the rest can waite till the morning she's locked up and isn't going anywhere. 
He grabs his coat and heads out. Once in the car he pulls out his cell phone and calls home. 
Alison: Hello? 
Jamual: Hey Bab whatcha doing? 
Alison: Hi sweetie I just got home. I was over at the Scanlon's offering my support. 
Alison sighs 
Alison: Things will never be the same will they 
Jamual sighs 
Jamual: No no they won't be. 
Alison hears the tension in his voice 
Alison: Jamual what's wrong? 
Jamual takes a deep breath 
Jamual: Well actually I have some good news. We've cracked the case wide open and just a little while ago I arrested and locked up the J killer. 
Alison: What! Oh Jamual that's wonderful!! Oh My God this is the best news I've heard in awhile! Now what did I tell you I new you would catch this monster. You always to babe. Well I'm going to wip up a celebritory dinner just for you and then we'll take the celebration upstairs how dose that sound my hero. 
Jamual smiles and shakes his head. 
Jamual: You are the best you know that Ally girl. 
Alison becomes aware of how down Jamual sounds not his usual tone when he's just gotten a criminal off the street. 
Alison: Jamual what's going on? You just told me the J killer is behind bars why aren't you happy? 
Jamual: Because it's Christina 
Alison practily drops the phone. 
Alison: What!! Christina as in Frank and Julie's daughter, as in Lucy and Scott's adopted daughter! The one who was taken from Lucy and Scott when she was just a year old!! That Christina?! 
Jamual: The one and only seems she came to Port Charles to avange her mothers death. So she went after all those her mother had told her had wronged her. 
Alison: But Franks her father 
Jamual: She thinks Chris is not that it would make much of a difference to her. Alison the girl is crazy. 
Alison: Oh My God poor Frank how is he handiling this? 
Jamual: He dosn't know yet. Look Ally I'm about to go over and tell him. The last thing I want is him hearing this on TV or reading it or having some nosy reporter call him. 
Alison: Oh I agree it's going to be hard enough for him to hear this. He needs you to be the one to tell him 
Jamual: Can you meet me over there 
Alison: Ofcourse I'll be right there. 
They hang up Jamual takes a deep breath and heads out. 

Hope, Faith and Serena are gathered around Lucy's beside as she sleeps. Kevin comes rushing in and over to her. 
Kevin: How is she? 
Serena: Well she has a bad concshun but she'll probubly just sleep it off. And she needed about 20 stitches for the head wooned it was bleeding pretty bad. But thankfully it was just super ficial. She should be just fine probubly home in two days or so. 
Hope: And this time we're keeping her there. 
Faith nods 
Kevin sighs and wipes his tear stained face. 
Kevin: Thank God 
He leans over and kisses her softly. 
Kevin: Has she woken at all 
Serena shakes her head 
Serena: No not yet but I'm confident she will. Speaking of injuries has anyone checked you out? 
Faith: Yeah Dad you look kind of banged up yourself 
Kevin: I'm fine nothing a hot shower and a good night sleep won't fix. Besides Jamual had the police station nurse give me the once over and she aggreed I'm nothing more then brused. 
Faith: Did Mom see that it was Christina? 
Kevin: No Christina knocked her out before she even saw her. 
Kevin strokes Lucy's face lovingly 
Kevin: She has no idea. 
Serena sighs 
Serena: How the hell do we tell her. How do we tell Mom that the little baby she took in and gave her all to. The little girl she has missed all these years and never stopped loving. 
Serena swallows hard 
Serena: How do we tell her this same girl tried to kill her! 
Kevin sighs sadly 
Kevin: I have no idea 
Faith: Maybe it's just as well she is asleep. If she was awake we'd have to tell her. You know we can never keep anything from her. 
Hope: This is really going to hit her hard. 
Serena: Very hard. 
Kevin: She's strong and we won't let her deal with this alone. 
Faith: It's not like Christina remembers her. 
Hope: Yeah that would make it worse. 
Serena nods
Serena: Yeah that's true. But just the same it's going to be hard. 
Serena's pager goes off 
Serena sighs 
Serena: It's the ER I have to go. Listen page me when she starts to wake up okay 
Hope: Okay 
Faith: We will 
Kevin: Serena 
Serena: Yes 
Kevin stands up and walks over to her. 
Kevin: I heard you and the girls out there before Chris came out. Thankyou thankyou for everything 
Serena smiles 
Serena: You're welcome 
They hug 
Hope: Told you we were being to loud 
Everyone laughs Serena leaves. 

Karen is pacing franticly wriinging her hands in the waiting area as the kids sit nurvesly near by. Alan comes rushing over. 
Alan: Karen 
Karen: Alan! 
Karen runs to him and they embrace. Alan holds her tightly for a minute as she cries. Then she pulls back. 
Karen: How is he? Is he out of surgery? How bad is it? How did this happen? 
Alan takes her hands in his 
Alan: He was shot in the back but it appears to have missed his spine. He is still in OR and he is critical but Karen I assure you he's in the best hands possible. 
Karen rubs her face 
Karen: I don't understand how did this happen! 
Alan sighs 
Alan: I'm not all together sure Karen. I wish I could tell you more I'm sorry. 
Karen sighs and half smiles at her old friend 
Karen: that's okay. I'm just glad you're here. 
Alan hugs her again 
Alan: Always Karen I'll always be here for you. 
Just then Serena comes over 
Serena: Karen 
Karen turns and the sisters embrace. 
Alan: Karen I'm going to take care of some work but I'll be back later to see how he is doing okay. 
Karen nods and tries to smile 
Karen: Okay thanks Alan 
Alan squezes her hand 
Alan: Anytime 
Alan leaves. 
Karen: Serena do you know anything what happend?! 
Serena sighs and motions Karen further away from the kids so they are out of ear shot. 
Serena: Tonight the J killer kidnaped Kevin. Lucy went looking for him and unfortchunitly got caught by the killer. The killer was holding both of them hostage and was probubly going to kill them. Chris figured out who it was and went to help I guess. Anyway Faith, Hope and I figured out where they were being held. So we went searching. We all ended up at the caticombs about the same time Jamual did. There was a shoot out between the killer and Jamual. Because of who the killer is Chris threw himself on them so they wouldn't be hurt and took the bullet intended for them. The killer is in custody and Chris is undergoing emergancy surgery. He was shot in the lower back, and lost alot of blood. but he's holding his own, and is in great hands. 
Karen: And it missed his spine 
Serena nods 
Bearly but it did miss it. He may have some spinal swelling but he shouldn't be permentitly paralized. 
Karen sighs a bit relieved. 
Karen: But i don't understand why was Chris trying to protect them? 
Serena swallows hard and takes her sisters hand in hers 
Serena: Because the killer is Christina. 
Karen gasps in horrer. 
Karen: What!! You don't mean Christina our sister? Christina Lucy and Dad's adopted daughter? 
Serena nods 
Serena: The one and only. Aparently Julie did a bang up job before dying of getting Christina to blame a whole bunch of us in this town for all the pain her mother ever felt. The J stands for Julie and she wants revenge. 
Karen shakes her head in disbelief. 
Karen: I just I can't believe this I just can't believe this 
Serena nods 
Serena: I always wished I could know how she turned out. I guess I should be careful from now on what I wish for. 
Karen: This is just to unbelievable. Is she angry at Chris to? 
Serena shakes her head 
Serena: No she loves Chris oh you should know Christina believes Chris is her biological daughter. 
Karen sighs 
Karen: Well I can't say that surprises me. I kind of figured Julie would tell her that. 
Serena nods 
Karen: Oh My God Lucy! She must be devistated 
Serena: She dosn't know. Christina nocked her out probubly before she even saw her. 
Karen: Is Lucy going to be okay? 
Serena: Physically? Yeah she's got a bad concusion but she'll just sleep it off. But when she learns this 
Serena shakes her head sadly 
Karen: It's going to be hard on her 
Serena nods 
Serena: Very. 
Just then Val walks over to them. 
Karen and Serena jump up 
Val: Karen 
Karen: Val! How is he?! What's going on?! 
Val: He's out of surgery and he's stable. We had to remove one of his kidneys because the bullet went straight throuth it. But his other kidney is functioning just fine. His spine is swollen but not badly. I think with time and theripy he should probubly make a full revoery. 
Karen sighs with relief. 
Karen: Oh thank God thankyou Val 
Val smiles 
Val: I'm glad I could help 
Karen: Can I see him? 
Val: In a couple hours. We want to keep him in recovery for awhile just incase. But once we move him to ICU then you can. 
Karen nods 
Karen: Thankyou 
Val: You're welcome 
Val leaves. 
Serena and Karen turn to each other. 
Serena: Well some good news, I'd say it's about time we got some of that. 
Karen: Deffinetly. I don't know what I'd do if I lost him Serena 
Serena squezes Karen's hand 
Serena: Well it dosn't look like you'll have to find out. 
Karen nods and they hug 

Jamual pulls up to the Scanlon house. He sits there for a minute just stairing at it. Soon Alison pulls up. She sees him just sitting in his car and nocks on his door. He looks over sees her and gets out. They embrace tightly 
Alison: Oh Jamual I just can't believe this. Out of every possible person it could have been I never would have thought it was her. 
Jamual nods 
Jamual: I know me neither. You know it's strange I was just sitting there thinking this is the first time when I haven't wanted to go in there. 
Alison: We could waite 
Jamual: No no we can't. By tomarrow morning it's going to be all over the papers, the radio, the TV and reporters will probubly be calling them. That is know way for him to find out. 
Alison: Do you know what you're going to say? 
Jamual: Not really I guess I'll just go with it. It's not like there is a good way to tell him. Know matter how I tell him it's going to be a shock and it's going to hurt. 
Alison: True. Well come on lets get this over with. 
Jamual: Yeah sooner we tell him faster we can get him through this 
Alison nods in agreement and they walk to the door hand in hand. Jamual takes a deep breath and rings the bell. Joe opens the door. 
Alison: Oh hi Joe I didn't know you were still here. 
Joe: Hey Alison yeah I'm stayiing the night. I thought it might help Frank. 
Jamual: That's very nice of you I'm sure he appriceates it. 
Joe nods 
Joe: So what can I do for the two of you? Are there any leads? 
Alison and Jamual look nurvesly at each other. 
Alison: Well that's partly why we are here. We need to talk to Frank 
Joe: Oh okay come on in he's in the kitchen I'll go get him. 
Alison come in and wait nurvesly in the living room. 
Jamual: I'm glad Joe's here for him it's a nice change. 
Alison nods 
Alison: Thank God for small blessings. 
Just then Frank comes in 
Frank: Hey Jamual Alison what's up? What brings the two of you by? Are there any new leads? 
Jamual takes a deep breath 
Jamual: Well I have some good news and some bad news for you. Which would you like first? 
Frank: Well I could deffinetly use some good news right now. So lets here that first. 
Jamual and Alison look at each other neither sure what to say next. Alison clears her throat 
Alison: The good news is as I predicted Jamual broke the case wide open tonight and the J killer is now behind bars. The arrest happend not to long ago. 
Frank lights up
Frank: That's fantastic!! Jamual that's great! Oh My God thankyou so much! It is going to help me and the kids so much to know Courtney's killer is behind bars 
Frank hugs Jamual. 
Frank: I new you catch that monster you always do. Waite till I tell the kids! 
Frank is about to call to his kids when he sees the look on Jamual and Alisons faces, and becomes conserned. 
Frank: Okay hold on here you just told me you capterued one of the biggest threats to Port Charles in decades, that the killer who you've been hunting like a dog is locked up. So why do you look so down? 
Alison: Well you see that's the bad news. 
Jamual: Frank there is no easy way to tell you this. The killer is Christina. 
Frank looks at them for a minute the information not prosesing 
Frank: Christina? 
Jamual: Aparently Julie filled her head with all sorts of lies and made her hate everyone in this town. Got her believing that they had brought upspeakable pain to her mother and her and her father which she believes is Chris. So when Julie died Christina decided it was up to her to avenge all the pain that was brought against her family. So in the order Julie listed them in her diary Christina went after them. The only one that was somewhat out of order was Kevin. I guess She felt fraimng him at first was a better punishment. 
Alison: The J stands for Julie it is her way of avenging her mothers pain. 
Frank sits down on the coutch he is white as a ghost as the horrible truth sets in. 
Jamual and Alison go to him and kneel beside him. 
Jamual: You know Frank it's not like you had any controle over this. 
Alison: Oh ofcourse not she was taken away by force and raised by a physco. 
Jamual: The important thing is that she is locked up now and can't hurt anyone. She maybe yours biologically but you never got to raise her so you can't blaime yourself. 
Alison: Right and she thinks Chris is her father so she didn't knowingly stab her own father. 
Jamual: That's right. And she is seareusly ill Frank it's not even like she's a bad person just a sick person 
Alison nods in agreement, and squezes Frank's hand 
Alison: Please say something Frank 
Frank: What is there to say. Lark is in a mental hospital and Christina is a killer. It's a mirrical Angel and Frankie are normal. 
Frank gets up and starts to walk away. Jamual grabs ahold of him 
Jamual: Now you listen to me I am not going to stand here and listen to you critisize yourself or act like you are a bad parant or something cause nothing could be further from the truth. If it wasn't for you I'd be in jail or at the very least living on the streets. You helped me out, made me believe in myself, motivated me and got me to where I am today. Heck you payed my way through the police accadomy. 
Alison: And you're the one that stood by me and helped me help Jamual. You were one of my first true friends. You encouraged me and never looked down on me. It's because of you I fallowed my goals and became a theripist for the mentilly ill. 
Jamual: Look at what a succsess Angel is what an absolute amazing and incredible young lady she is. Look at what a fine man Frankie is growing into. And what about Neil he is amazing! 
Alison: Frank you didn't get ahold of Lark till she was a teen and you know mental illenss runs in her family and you never had a chance with Christina. So you have no reason to even think of holding yourself responsible for them. It's not your fault and there is not a person in this town that would disagree with me. The fact is you are an amazing parant and it shows. It shows in Neil, in Jamual, in myself, in Angel and Frankie and I'm sure if Lark ever comes to it will show in her. 
Frank smiles a little 
Frank: Thanks I really appriceate what you're saying and I do get what you mean but right now 
Frank shakes his head sadly 
Frank: It's just alot to absorb 
Jamual: I know man it's alot to proses. 
Alison: Is there anything we can do? 
Frank sighs 
Frank: I don't know I really don't know. I think right now I just want to be alone. 
Jamual and Alison nod 
Alison: Okay we'll be back tomarrow okay? 
Frank nods 
Jamual hugs Frank 
Jamual: We'll go but Frank one thing you'll never be is alone 
Frank half smiles 
Frank: Thanks 
Alison hugs Frank and then they leave Frank watches as they go then sits down on the coutch barry's his face in his hands and cries. 

Neil and Serena sit quietly in the on call room. She has just fineshed telling him. 
Neil: I can't believe this I just can't believe this. 
Serena sighs rubbing her tired face. 
Serena: Join the club. You know I spent years wondering what kind of person she was, if she was okay, if Julie was doing right by her. I always thought I wanted to find her and find out what she was like 
Serena half laughs 
Serena: Funny thing is now that I know I'd give anything not to know. 
Neil: Are you sure? I mean maybe there is some kind of mistake. Maybe it's not our Christina 
Serena: Neil Jamual has her diary, Julie's diary, a picture of Julie he found with her things, and a list of all the victems with check marks by them. She also told Kevin Lucy had no right to in her words kidnap her from Julie. So yes it is Christina 
Neil shakes his head. 
Neil: How could she do somthinig like this! How could she be such an animal! She's our sister! 
Serena: Well not to her way of thinking. She believes with all her heart that Chris is her father, she tried to strangle me, and I doubt she even knows your name. 
Neil leans back on the coutch and rubs his face 
Neil: Oh My God how can this be happening 
Serena: I don't know but what really worries me right now is how I'm supposed to tell my Mom this. How do I tell her the child she took into her home and loved and cared for as her own for a year is the same person who tried to kill her? How do I do that? 
Neil shakes his head 
Neil: Very very gently. I wonder if my Dad knows yet? 
Serena: I think Jamual was going to go tell him. I guess the one solice he has is that Christina dosn't know that she's his daughter. 
Neil nods 
Neil: You think it would matter to her 
Serena thinks about it 
Serena: Probubly not. I doubt Julie would have made Frank seem like the great guy he is. So no probubly not. 
Neil: I guess we shouldn't be to surprised. It was nieve of us to think Julie would be a good mother. 
Serena nods 
Serena: But people do rally from bad parants. They don't all end up bad. 
Neil: I guess with no other influence besides Julie it was just to hard for Christina 
Serena nods 
Serena: I guess so. Hey thanks for coming down here so quick. I know you were spending the night with your Dad, I just didn't want to risk you hearing this on the radio or something. 
Neil: Hey that's not a problem, I'm glad you did. Besides Joe is spending the night there too so he's not alone. You want me there when you tell your Mom? Maybe I can help 
Serena smiles 
Serena: Thanks but I think between me Kevin Faith and Hope we can handle this. Besides my guess is your Dad is really going to need you 
Neil nods. 
Neil: Maybe so but right now I think you need me 
He pulls Serena close to him and holds her as she cries. 

Karen walks into Chris's hospital room. Seeing Chris lying there so pale and motionless with tubes and wires everywhere takes her breath away. Tears well up in her eyes and she has to look away. Karen quickly composes herself and slowly walks over to Chris. She stands at his bed side and picks up his limp hand in hers. She kisses it gently. Karen then holding his hand against her chest just stairs at him with tears in her eyes. 
Karen: Chris can you hear me? It's Karen, I'm here everything is going to be okay. 
She places his hand back on the bed and strokes it. 
Karen: Fine mess you got yourself into this time Ramsey. Dammit Chris what the hell were you thinking! 
Karen starts sobbing. 
Chris: Karen? 
Karen looks up somewhat surprised. Chris's eyes are open and he is looking at her. 
Karen: Chris! Oh Thank God you're awake! 
Karen leans over and hugs him. Chris winces a little. 
Karen: Oh Chris I was so worried about you! You're going to be okay though, everything is going to be okay. Do you know where you are? Do you know what happened? What were you thinking going in their like that! 
Chris clears his throat. 
Chris: Karen I'm sorry I never meant to upset you but. . . What happened they didn't shoot Christina did they? 
Karen shakes her head 
Karen: No Christina is fine. She is in custody at the Port Charles Police station. 
Chris nods weakly 
Chris: I'm glad she's okay. Are Kevin and Lucy all right? 
Karen nods 
Karen: Kevin is fine just a little banged up. Lucy has a bad concussion but she'll be okay. Physically anyway I don't know what this bomb shell will do to her. 
Chris nods 
Karen: Chris what happened? What were you thinking? Why were you even there? 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Karen you know I love you. I love you with every fiber of my being and then some. But there is this little spot in my heart that will always belong to Julie. 
Karen nods 
Karen: I know that. You told me when we got together that your heart would never be completely free from Julie. But you promised to give all the rest of your heart to me. 
Chris: And I have as much as was left to give anyway. Karen I know this is hard to understand but Christina is like a daughter to me. I love her with the same love and devotion that I love Christopher and Abby with. She is as much mine as they are and she always will be. 
Karen: Well that certainly explains why you were trying to protect her. I know how yo are when it comes to your kids. You would do anything for them. I remember when we were on that sailing trip and Abby dropped her doll in the water and thestrong current were taking it away. She started crying and the next thing I know you are in the water swimming for it. You most have stayed in the water for at least a half an hour. Just diving and swimming trying to get to it. 
Chris smiles 
Chris: But I did didn't I. 
Karen smiles 
Karen: Yep you were Abby's hero. And then there was the time Christopher wanted that Red Power Ranger for Christmas and all the stores were sold out of it. You drove all the way to Buffalo to get that Power Ranger for him. 
Chris smiles 
Chris: Nothing is to much for my kids. 
Karen nods 
Karen: But what happened how did you know it was her? How did you find her? 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Julie has been on my mind a lot lately. I guess with all the attacks and her death it's hard for me not to think about her. Anyway I needed to be alone for a while. Somewhere where I could just think and be close to Julie somehow. 
Karen nods 
Karen: Sleeping Beauty's Castle 
Chris nods 
Chris: We delivered Christina there 
Karen nods 
Karen: I remember you telling me about that day. 
Chris: It was one of the most amazing days of my life. I learned so much about me about Julie about life. 
Karen: I can understand why you like going there. 
Chris: I remember holding her in my hands right after she was born. 
Chris gets choked up 
Chris: Karen she was an absolute angel. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I just kept thinking here is this brand new life. No flaws, no mistakes, no regrets, no enemies, no anything. Just a completely clean slate full of hope, potential, promise, such an absolute miracle. She stole my heart. Damn Julie! 
Chris starts crying 
Chris: Karen you have to believe me Christina never would have become what she is if she had stayed here in Port Charles. I wouldn't have let her. I would have done what ever it took to not let her become this. 
Karen strokes his face 
Karen: I know that Chris I know. I don't doubt that not even for a second. This is a clear result of Julie's parenting or lack there of parenting skills. 
Chris: Karen she has a good soul I have no doubt about that. I saw her when she was born I know. I looked into her eyes tonight and as much as she was out of control I still saw that little girl I helped bring into the world all those years ago. I don't care what any damn test says she is my daughter. In my heart, in my head, and in my soul she is mine. 
Karen: I understand 
Chris: Can you also understand that I'm going to do everything in my power to help her. I don't mean getting her set free I know that's not an option. But I want to make sure she doesn't go to prison. She needs help Karen. She's not an animal she's a very misguided and ill young lady who needs help. I want to get her to a top mental facility and I want to make sure she has absolutely the best doctors around. Can you understand that? 
Karen smiles knowingly 
Karen: Chris I have always known how you saw Christina, and I just heard you tell me yourself that she's your child. I know how your are about your children so I understand completely. When it comes to your kids there is nothing you won't do for them. It's just one of the million reasons I love you. 
Chris smiles 
Karen: Infact if you'd like when you get out of here we'll go to see her together. 
Chris: Karen I love you and I love you for offering but, that's probably not a good idea. She's very angry and has a lot of hate in her. Most of which Julie put in her head. I''m guessing Julie turned her against you to. I love Christina and will do my best to help her but I won't risk the rest of my family in the process. 
Karen nods 
Karen: Okay 
Chris: But hey who knows with all the treatment I plan to get her maybe one day the two of you can be friends. I know she probably won't be released or anything. But still 
Karen: Stranger things have happened 
Chris smiles 
Chris: I love you 
Karen: I love you to. Now you still haven't answered my question how did you figure out it was her and further more how did you find her? 
Chris sighs 
Chris: I had this very vivd dream in the castle. I saw this person stabbing people left and right. I grabbed them and when I turned them around I new. 
Chris sighs 
Chris: I don't really know how to explain it I just new. The face wasn't fermilure but I new who it was. I don't know maybe Julie told me. 
Karen: It could be you were in a place that was very powerful for both of you I imagine. And if she could contact anyone I'm sure it would be you. I'm sure she'd want you to look after Christina. 
Chris: Well I'm going to try. 
Karen: I'm sure you'll do fine. So did the dream tell you where she was? 
Chris: No I just started driving around. I started going over the places she could hide and something told me the catacombs. 
Karen nods 
Karen: And she recognized you? 
Chris: She new my name. When I called out I kept saying my name. Apparently Julie told her that I''m her father. That's another reason I don't want to abandoned her. Anyway she was thrilled to see me. She wanted me to see what she was doing. I guess she felt I''d be proud or something. 
Chris shrugs and shakes his head 
Chris: Dammit! This never should have happened! 
Karen squeezes his hand 
Karen: I know I know 
Chris: Anyway Serena, Hope, and Faith showed up. Christina heard them and was going to hurt them. I thought quick and had her weight there. I tried to get the girls to leave but. . . it didn't work. They were loud, determined and insulting not a big deal except that Christina heard and came charging with a gun. Then Jamual came and all hell broke loose. She was going to shoot him so he got ready to shoot her. Karen I know she's killed, I know she has hurt and destroyed a lot of lives but 
Karen: But she is like a daughter to you and you couldn't let her get shot. I understand Chris. I may not like the idea of you jumping infront of bullets but I do understand why you did it. 
Chris: Well I promise if I can I will be avoiding them from now on 
Chris half laughs, Karen smiles 
Karen: Good 
They kiss 
Karen: So can I do anything for you? 
Chris nods 
Chris: Can you have someone call the jail and let Christina know that I'm okay. I don't want her to worry. She really does see me as her father and since she already lost her mother. . . 
Karen nods 
Karen: Not a problem 
Chris smiles 
Chris: Have I told you lately what an amazing person I think you are? 
Karen: Not lately 
Chris: Well allow me to correct that. 
Chris pulls her close 
Chris: You are the most amazing most wonderful most incredible woman in the world. And I love you and am amazed by you more every day. 
Karen smiles 
Karen: I love you to Chris more then you'll ever know 
They kiss softly 

It is morning and over at the Scanlon house no one has slept much. Frank, Frankie, Angel, and Joe and Neil are all sitting around the kitchen table stairing at their food. 
Joe: Come on you guys we need to eat. 
Frankie pushes his plate away 
Frankie: I'm not hungery. 
Angel shakes her head 
Angel: Me neither I think I'm going to be sick. 
Joe sighs 
Neil: Hey listen I know how it feels to get a horrible shock out of no where but not taking care of yourself doesn't help. 
Frank: I can't believe this I just can' t believe this. My own daughter my own flesh and blood! 
Frank starts crying. 
Joe rests his hand on Frank's shoulder. 
Joe: Frank look she dosn't know you're her Dad 
Frank: Joe that dosn't make a bit of different's! Okay okay I can say that she didn't knowingly try to kill her own father but. . . that dosn't change what she is or what she's done. 
Neil: But Dad that's not your fault you didn't raise her you weren't given a chance. I'm sure if you had been this wouldn't have happend. 
Frank shakes his head and rubs his tired face. 
Frank: I know I know this is mostly Julie's doing. 
Joe: Try all Julie's doing. This didn't happen from genetics and you know it. Even if it did it wasn't from ours. 
Frank looks at Joe seareusly 
Frank: You sure about that? I mean come on Joe our Dad was not exactly father of the year. 
Joe sighs 
Joe: Frank that was a combination of how he was raised, his drinking problem, and the way he was treated by others. Come on look around you. Look at my kids, look at Frankie, Angel and Neil they aren't monsters. It had to of come from Julie's side. 
Frank: Julie wasn't always bad Joe. Christina is living proof of that fact. 
Joe: What about her father. 
Frank thinks 
Frank: You know as bad as Devlin was I don't think he ever would have resorted to physical violence. 
Joe: Well then it's a classic case of bad paranting. Julie caused this plain and simple. 
Frank: Joe no matter how you look at this there is nothing simple about it. She is my boilogical daughter, but not my leagual daughter. She is Scott's leagual daughter but believes Chris is her father in every way. And as if that weren't bad enough she has tried to kill me, her adopted mother, her adopted father, and has killed her biological step mom and her adopted step mom. 
Frankie: But it's not your problem she obviusly dosn't want you around. 
Frank sighs 
Frank: Frankie she is very sick and in all likly hood dosn't know what she wants. Also don't forget she thinks Chris is her father not me. God only knows what other kinds of lies she's been told. I don't know what the truth will do to her and even though I'd like to wash my hands of her I can't. 
Joe: Frank she tried to kill you and she did kill Courtney. Why on earth can't you wash your hands of her? 
Frank sighs 
Frank: Because regardless of what she thinks or what she's done she is my daughter. 
Angel smiles 
Angel: And that isn't something you can just walk away from 
Frank shakes his head 
Frank: No it isn't. 
Joe: So what are you going to do? 
Frank sighs and plops back in his chair. 
Frank: I have no idea. 
Frank thinks for a minute then gets up and grabs his coat. 
Frankie: Where are you going? 
Frank: I need to see her. 
Angel: Dad no! 
Frankie: What if she tries to attack you?! 
Joe: Have you thought this through? 
Neil: Maybe you should waite a little bit you know till everything has calmed down a little. 
Frank sighs 
Frank: She is locked up she can't hurt me, further more if I'm ever going to make any kind of peace with this I need to see her. Don't worry I'll be fine. 
Frank leaves everyone exchanges worried looks. 

Kevin, Serena, Hope and Faith are all croweded around Lucy's bed. waiting for her to wake up. 
Hope: Why hasn't she woken up yet? 
Serena: She sustained a pretty bad wack to the head give her time. 
Faith looks down at her mother and gently strokes her head 
Faith: All things considered maybe it's just as well she hasn't woken up yet. Does anyone have any idea what we are going to tell her? I mean how the heck do we break this kind of news to her? 
Kevin sighs as he holds Lucy's hand tightly 
Kevin: I've been going over that in my head most of the night. 
Hope: What have you come up with? 
Kevin shakes his head. 
Kevin: Nothing. I mean really what can you say but the truth. All we can do is help her through it. 
Serena nods 
Serena: I've been thinking about it alot to and I think you're right. We can't make this okay. We can tell her in the gentilist way posible and we can do our best to help her understand. We can comfort her and help her deal with it all but as for making it okay 
Serena shakes her head. 
Serena: You can't make something that isn't okay okay no matter how hard you try. 
Faith: I guess you're right. But there must be some way to tell her that won't hurt her as much. 
Kevin: Well that's true though in the end it will hurt no matter what. 
Hope: I can't imagen how she is going to feel. I have no memories of this girl, I wasn't even born when she was taken but. . . 
Faith: It feels like a horrible betrayel just the same. 
Hope nods. 
Just then Lucy's eyes flutter open 
Faith: She's awake! 
Hope: Mom can you hear us? 
Faith: How do you feel? 
Kevin: Lucy say something! 
Serena: Kevin calm down! Mom you're at GH everything is going to be okay. 
Lucy looks around the room taking in her surroundings 
Lucy: What happend? Ow my head? 
Lucy reaches up and tutches the bandage. 
Serena: You have a concusion. You got wacked over the head pretty hard but you're going to be fine. 
Lucy nods then the frightening memories of the night before come fluding back 
Lucy: OH MY GOD it was the J killer wasn't it! Oh Doc are you okay?! 
Lucy reaches her hands out running her hands along Kevin's brused face. 
Lucy: Did they catch the monster? 
Kevin soothes Lucy gently 
Kevin: I'm fine Lucy I'm just fine 
Faith: What do you remember Mom? 
Lucy thinks 
Lucy: I felt Doc was in the caticombs and was in trouble so I went there. I found this little hidden away area and walked in. 
Lucy shutters 
Lucy: Oh Doc seeing you tied up like that 
Kevin kisses her lightly 
Kevin: I'm okay now Lucy we both are 
Lucy: What happend then? How did we get away? Did they catch the killer? 
Serena: The killer hit you over the head with a baseball bat. But as I said you're fine. Several people arrived including the cops and there was a shoot out. Then you were brought here 
Lucy: So the killer is in custody? 
Serena nods 
Lucy: So was it Julie? 
Everyone looks at each other uneasily 
Hope: Uh No no it wasn't Julie . . . 
Lucy sees the tension 
Lucy: Okay I can tell something is going on. Who was it? 
Faith and Hope exchange worried looks 
Kevin: Uh Lucy. . . 
Serena takes Lucy's hand in hers. 
Serena: Mom you know who I was thinking about last night? 
Lucy: Who? 
Serena: Victor. Remember what a great man he was. So smart, and so sweet. Remember he stayed up all night with me helping me memorize Shakesphere's Romeo and Julliet for the school play. And how he taught me to play the accordien. 
Lucy nods 
Lucy: Victor was pretty special 
Serena: And remember how protective and loving he was? If kevin ever needed him he was always right there. And no one could ask for a better friend. Remember when he helped Alison and Jamual rebuild their house after it partly burnt down. 
Lucy smiles 
Lucy: Yeah he was always there for everyone who needed him. 
Serena: You know when you think about it he really was alot like you. I mean think about it. You both are smart and sweet. You would both do anything for your friends and family. And your both fearcly protective of those you love. 
Lucy nods 
Lucy: He was like a father to me. 
Serena: I know he was. 
Lucy: But what does this have to do with the J killer? 
Serena: Well you know as wonderful a man as Victor was there were somethings that were just beyond his controle. I mean he couldn't controle his wife's mental illness, he couldn't controle her abusing Kevin and Ryan, he couldn't controle her hiding Ryan so he couldn't find him, and further more he couldn't controle that mental illness ran in both sides of the family. 
Lucy nods 
Serena: It wasn't his fault Ryan turned out to be a killer. He had done nothing wrong. He tried to provide a good home for his kids and when that failed he did his best to rescue them. But his wife made rescuing Ryan not possible. And while some people Can handle that kind of abuse others can't. 
Lucy nods 
Lucy: I think by the time he died he finelly excepted that what Ryan became wasn't his fault. I think he understood that their wasn't anything he could have done. That he'd done his best and that was all he could do. 
Serena nods 
Serena: Yes and he was right. He isn't the one that made Ryan a killer. Look at Kevin he is a wonderful man and had Victor had a chance to raise Ryan I have no doubt Ryan would have been wonderful to. But life made that impossible. 
Lucy: Yeah I know 
Serena: The reason I'm telling you all this is because I want you to remember it when I tell you this piece of information okay? 
Lucy: OKay 
Serena takes a deep breath. 
Serena: The J killer is Christina 
Lucy gasps in horrer. 
Lucy: No no that's not possible there has to be some kind of mistake! 
Kevin: Lucy I'm sorry it isn't I was trapped with her for hours it is her. 
Lucy has tears running down her face 
Lucy: Oh My God no not little Christina not my baby! 
Serena: Mom I'm so sorry but remember what I said this isn't your fault. Things beyond your controle caused this just like things beyond Victor's controle caused Ryan to be a killer. 
Lucy: I don't understand! Why! Why would she do this! 
Serena: Julie Mom Julie filled her head with all sorts of lies she made her hate us and be vegnful towards us. The only person to blaime is Julie. 
Kevin squezes Lucy's hand. 
Kevin: And as for understanding all of this I''m not sure any of us ever really will. 
Lucy: Oh Doc this can't be true! 
Lucy starts sobbing Kevin pulls her close and hugs her as she cries. As the girls watch helplessly. 

Frank and Jamual talk at the PCPD 
Jamual: Look Frank I understand you wanting to see her I really do but. . . 
Frank: Jamual look I know she thinks Chris is her father and I know she hates me okay. I mean come on she's made that fact pretty clear. 
Jamual: So why see her? Why make things harder for yourself then they already are? 
Frank sighs 
Frank: Because no matter what she's done, no matter what she thinks she is still my biological daughter. I need to see her Jamual I just need to. 
Jamual sighs 
Jamual: Okay man I hope you know what you're doing. 
Jamual shows Frank to a row of phones and seats. Frank sits down at one and Jamual sends a gaurd to get Christina. Soon the guard brings very angry and tired looking Christina out. She sits down across from Frank. Frank looks at her for a minute not sure what to do next. He then picks up the phone and motions for her to do the same on her side. 
Christina: What the hell do you want! 
Frank takes a deep breath 
Frank: I wanted to see you. 
Christina: Why so you could gloat jerk! You hurt my mother! You lied to her, abandoned her, and then tried to help those horrible baby snatching Baldwins take me from her! You are scum got that scum!!! 
Frank: Christina you don't have all the facts. 
Christina: Excuse me I have all the facts! My mother told me all about you and the rest of this God forsaken town! You are slime Scanlon and if I had anuther chance I would stab you again and this time I wouldn't fail! I hope you rot in hell for the pain you caused my mother. 
Christina spits at Frank. 
Frank: I can understand why you're angry all things considered 
Christina becomes even more enraged. 
Christina: YOU ASS HOLE HOW DARE YOU TRY AND BE NICE TO ME!! YOU ARE A PIECE OF FILTH I KNOW YOUR KIND!! MY MOTHER TOLD ME ALL ABOUT YOU!! GET OUT OF MY FACE BEFORE I SMASH THROUGH THIS GLASS AND STRANGLE YOU WITH MY BEAR HANDS!! 
Jamaul: Okay that's enough gaurd take Ms. Baldwin 
Christina: THAT'S RAMSEY YOU JERK CHRIS RAMSEY IS MY FATHER GOT THAT!! 
Two gaurds restrain Christina 
Jamual sighs 
Jamual: Take Ms. Ramsey back to her cell now! 
Frank gets up Jamual goes over to him. 
Jamual: I'm sorry about that man. 
Frank: It's okay I wanted to see it. 
Frank shakes his head. 
Frank: It's deffinetly something I had to see to believe. I still can't believe that's my kid. 
Jamual: No man that's not your kid. That is a result of Julie not you. If you'd had any influence on her she wouldn't be the way she is. 
Frank nods 
Jamual: You okay? 
Frank sighs 
Frank: Yeah I guess so I should go thanks again. 
Jamual: You're welcome I'm sorry it went so badly 
Frank shrugs and shakes his head sadly 
Frank: I don't know what I expected. 
Frank leaves sadly Jamual looks after him and shakes his head 
Jamual: Of all of Julie's crimes taking Christina was deffinetly the worst 
Frank drives around awhile with tears running down his face. He can still hear the absolute hate in Christina's voice and see the anger in her eyes. He ends up at Ferncliff and signs in. He goes into Larks room she is sitting silently on her bed. Frank sits down next to her, and gives her a small kiss on the cheeck and a hug. 
Frank: Hi huney. Don't you look pretty today. I can tell Alison has already been to see you today. Your hair looks great. I can always tell when she's been here cause you always look like you just stepped out of a salon. 
Frank half smiles. 
Frank: I miss you Lark. I know I tell you that everytime I come but. . . 
Frank gets up and starts pacing. 
Frank: Oh God Lark everything is just so awful. Courtney is dead. The J killer got her. 
Frank nearly starts crying but pulls himself together. He walks over to the window and looks out at the court yard below. 
Frank: And as if that wasn't bad enough the killer is Christina. My own daughter! Not that that means anything to her mind you. She hates my guts! I guess that was made pretty clear though when she stabbed me huh. She thinks Chris is her father and she came to Port Charles to make us all suffer for hurting her Mom. Julie totally messed her up. 
Frank sighs 
Frank: I don't understand it I just don't. All I know is that I have five children and two of them I have some how failed. Christina is messed up cause I didn't keep her safe in that park. And you Oh God Lark I wish you would come back to me. I have no idea what I did wrong but I'm sorry. 
Frank starts sobbing as he looks out the window. Suddenly he feels a hand on his arm. Frank whirls around and finds Lark standing in front of him with tears in her eyes. She holds her arms out to him. 
Lark: I'm here Dad. 

**************Authers Note*********************** 
I would like to dedicate this chapter to all the victems of the September 11 attack and all the brave men and wemon who faught to help them. 
 

Frank stairs at Lark for a minute dumb founded at what he's seeing. Lark stands there with tears in her eyes her arms out stretched. 
Lark: Dad I''m here 
Larks voice snaps him back. 
Frank: Lark! 
Tears of utter joy spill from Franks eyes. He grabs his daughter and holds her tightly. 
Frank: Oh My God Lark! This is a mirical! Oh I've missed you so much. 
Lark is crying to. Frank pulls back and looks at Larks tear stained face. Still hardly believing what he's seeing. 
Frank: Lark? 
Lark nods 
Frank: Come on lets sit down. How do you feel? Do you know where you are? 
Frank helps her back to her bed. 
Lark: I I feel tired. I'm in a hospital. I've been here along time I know. 
Frank shakes his head and strokes her face lovingly 
Frank: Do you know how much I love you, and how much I've missed you? 
Lark smiles 
Lark: I love you to Dad 
They embrace happily 
Lark: Dad 
Frank: Yeah? 
Lark: Please don't ever say you've failed me again. It just breaks my heart to hear you say that. 
Frank is stunned. 
Frank: You heard me? 
Lark nods 
Lark: Yes I've always been able to hear I just couldn't respond. I'm so sorry about Courtney I know you loved her. 
Frank sighs 
Frank: Yeah she was a very big part of my world. But having you back is sertenly helping me. 
Lark: I mean it Dad no more blaiming yourself. What happend to me isn't your fault. 
Frank smiles 
Frank: Well I'll try to believe it. 
He hugs her again 
Frank: I hope you don't mind but I'm going to be hugging you alot for the next little while 
Lark smiles 
Lark: I don't mind. Is it true about Christina? 
Frank nods sadly 
Lark shakes her head 
Lark: I always new Julie was bad news. If only you had gotten to raise Christina. 
Frank: I don't know if that would have made a difference 
Lark: Ofcourse it would have. I could have ended up in prison if you hadn't rescued me from my Mom. You would have made a big difference. 
Frank sighs 
Frank: Still have me glued to that pedistool I see. 
Lark smiles 
Lark: And you'll be there forever. 
They hug 
Frank: So what can I do for you now? 
Lark: I want to get out of here. I know I can't leave here for good yet but I need a break from this place. 
Frank: Well I don't know if we can arrange that but I'll try. I really should tell someone you've come out of your canitonic state anyways. 
Lark nods 
Frank: I'll be right back don't slip away on me again okay? 
Lark smiles 
Lark: I won't you're stuck with me 
Frank smiles and hugs her 
Frank: I hope that's a promise. 
Frank leaves to find a doctor. 
Scott sits in his room quietly looking at a news paper as he waits to go home. Brian and Randy come in. 
Brian: Hi Dad 
Randi: Hey Dad? 
Scott quickly turns the news paper over so the kids can't see what he was reading. He hugs them both tightly 
Scott: Hey you two how are you guys doing? 
Randi: Okay I guess 
Brian: Randi has a date. 
Randi slugs Brian in the arm 
Randi: Shut up 
Brian shuves Randi 
Brian: Make me! 
Scott: Okay that's enough both of you! 
Scott sighs tiredly 
Scott: We have enough to deal with with out you two constantly at each others throats. 
Brian and Randi look at the ground 
Brian: Sorry Dad 
Randi: Yeah sorry Dad 
Scott: So you have a date huh? 
Randi blushes. 
Randi: Well it's not really a date. You see there is this dance coming up at my school, and well 
Brian: And she's going with this guy 
Randi shoots her brother a dirty look 
Scott: Brian stop tormenting your sister. 
Randi sticks her tongue out at Brian 
Brian: Oh that's mature. 
Randi ignors him and continues. 
Randi: Last night I was over at the Pizza Arcade and I ran into Frankie Scanlon. Dad his Mom was killed yesturday by the J killer just like ours was. 
Scott sighs sadly 
Scott: I know I saw that in the paper. Poor kid how is he holding up? 
Randi: He's okay I guess. Pretty upset he didn't want to talk about it much. We basicly just played games. Anyhow we had a really fun time and it felt good to be with someone who understands. So this morning before we came over he called and asked me if I wanted to go to the dance with him. I really like him but just as friends, for now anyways. 
Scott nods 
Scott: Well we deffinetly need our friends now more then over. But listen at any point if this becomes more then friendship I want you to talk to me okay? 
Randi: Okay Dad 
Just then Karen comes in. 
Karen: Hey there 
Brian: Hi Karen 
Randi: Hey sis 
Scott: There's my girl. 
Karen hugs her Dad 
Scott: Randi Brian can you waite outside a minute I want to talk to your sister alone. 
Brian shrugs 
Brian: sure 
Randi nods they leave 
Karen sits down next to Scott 
Karen: So how are you feeling? 
Scott holds up the paper 
Scott: Wind blown 
Karen nods 
Karen: I know same here. It's like a bad dream that I just can't wake up from 
Scott squezes her hand 
Scott: I know I know. So how is Chris? Is he okay? 
Karen: Yeah Thank God he's going to be fine. He lost a kidney and alot of blood but he should be okay. 
Scott nods 
Scott: That's good. Pretty brave of him jumping infront of that bullet 
Karen: He loves Christina as his own. 
Scott: How do you feel about that? 
Karen sighs 
Karen: Chris's comitment to his children is one of the many reasons I love him. I understand why he did what he did and I can't help but love him for it. 
Scott shakes his head 
Scott: I hope he realizes what a lucky man he is to have such an understanding wife. 
Karen smiles 
Karen: I think he does 
Scott: Good 
Karen: So you ready to get out of here? 
Scott sighs 
Scott: Yeah just about but I need to see Lucy first. Has she woken up yet? 
Karen nods 
Karen: Yeah she probubly knows by now. She's going to be fine physically but I have to admit emotionally this is really bad 
Scott: Yeah it's like we've been sucker punched. 
Karen nods 
Karen: Okay lets take you to see Lucy and then we'll get you home. 
Scott: Sounds like a plan. 
Karen wheels Scott out of the room. 

Lucy is sitting up in her bed with a very sad and dazed look on her face. Kevin hands her a cup of water. 
Lucy: Thanks 
Serena: Mom remember what we talked about. Just like with Victor and Ryan this was out of your hands. 
Hope: Yeah Mom everyone knows your the best Mom around this has nothing to do with you. 
Faith: You have nothing to feel bad about Mom. It's not your fault Julie kidnapped her and it's not your fault Christina went crazy. 
Lucy nods and sighs 
Lucy: Yeah I can let myself off the hoock real easily can't I. I didn't take Christina to the park, I didn't let Julie walk off with her, I didn't get a chance to raise her. Hey folks no blaime here. 
Lucy lays her head back tear are in her eyes. 
Kevin: Lucy it's not about letting yourself off the hoock it's the simple truth. She is this way cause of how she was raised and you had nothing to do with that. You did all you could to keep her with you it's not your fault that Julie took her and turned her into this animal. 
Lucy starts crying 
Lucy: But don't you see Doc it dosn't matter how many times you say it's not my fault, it dosn't matter how many ways it's explained or what I did or didn't do. She is my daughter in my heart and in my soul. So no matter how you look at it my daughter is a killer. 
Lucy starts sobbing. Kevin sighs and holds her close. 
Kevin: I'm sorry I wish I new how to make this easier. 
Faith: Mom what can we do? 
Lucy pulls herself together. 
Lucy: There isn't anything you can do. But I'll tell you one thing I'm not just going to roll over and let Julie win.
Serena: What do you mean? 
Kevin: I hate to point this out Lucy but I think she already has. 
Lucy: No Doc don't you see she hasn't. Not as long as I'm here to fight for Christina. I can get through to Christina I know I can. 
They all exchange worried looks 
Serena: Uh Mom I think you should think this through a little more 
Hope: Yeah Mom it's not like she had a break down 
Kevin: Lucy she is violent and the fact is she hates us 
Lucy: Yes because of what Julie told her. As soon as I get out of here I'm going to go see her. 
Kevin: Lucy 
Lucy: Doc don't Lucy me that is my little girl and I will get through to her. 
Lucy looks on with total determination. Everyone glances at one anuther not sure what to do next. 
Just then there is a nock at the door and Karen wheels Scott in. 
Serena: Hi Dad 
Serena gets up and hugs her father. 
Kevin: Hey Scott 
Hope: Hi Scott 
Faith: Hi Scott 
Scott: Hey everyone. 
Lucy: Hi Pal 
Scott: Hi 
Serena: Karen how is Chris doing? 
Karen: Much better he'll be just fine. 
Serena: I'm glad 
Karen nods 
Scott: Would you guys mind if I talked to Lucy privatly 
Serena: Uh no not at all. Faith, Hope lets go get something to eat in the cafeteria. Kevin would you like to join us? 
Kevin: No no that's okay I need to check on some patients. 
He bends down and kisses Lucy softly 
Kevin: We'll discuss this later. 
Everyone leaves. 
Scott: You're getting to be a regular around here. 
Lucy: Yeah it seems so. So I guess you heard huh 
Scott: Yeah It's a doozy that's for sure. 
Lucy: I just can't get my mind around the idea of our little Christina that preshus little baby girl being a killer. It just dosn't fit. 
Scott sighs and runs his hand through his hair. 
Scott: I know. You know I used to imagen the kind of person she might be. You know I made up all sorts of fanticy's about her. But I'll tell you never in a million years did I imagen this one. 
Lucy shakes her head 
Lucy: Nope this was deffinetly not in the cards. So now what Pal how do we deal with this one? 
Scott sighs 
Scott: i don't know I guess we let the system take care of it. 
Lucy: You mean just wash are hands of her? 
Scott: It's not like she wants us around Lucy. She tried to kill us and she did kill people we care about. 
Lucy: Because of Julie not because of 
Scott: Lucy look it dosn't matter why she is the way she is, this is who she is and I for one am not going to get involved. 
Lucy shakes her head 
Lucy: I guess I should of known better. 
Scott: Ah hell Lucy come on be resonable. I knew this baby for a year now she comes to town and kills my wife, tries to kill me, almost kills you, and kills and injures others. What on earth am I supsed to do. I can't reach out to her Lucy I just can't. 
Lucy nods 
Lucy: And I can't not reach out to her. 
Scott sighs and takes her hand 
Scott: Well for your sake I hope you know what your getting yourself into. 
Lucy: She's my daughter Scott what ever it is I can and will handle it. 
Lucy lays back looking more determend then ever. Scott looks at her worriedly. 

Chris is laying in his hospital bed stairing at the phone. 
Chris: Well I guess there is no time like the present. 
Chris takes the phone and punches in some numbers. 
Officer: Port Charles Jail Officer Lopez speaking. 
Chris: Yes I'd like to speak with Christina Ramsey please 
Officer: Hold on 
Chris looks at the clock on the wall as he waits 
Chris: What the hell am I going to say to her? 
Christina: Yeah 
Chris: Hi sweetheart it's Daddy. 
Christina lights up 
Christina: Oh Daddy Hi how are you? Are you okay? I have been so worried about you. I love you so much. And don't you worry as soon as I get out of here I'm going to make sure that awful Jamual pays. 
Chris laughs nurvesly as he collects his thoughts. 
Chris: I'm just fine huney. I'll be just fine. I'm here at the hospital and they've been taking great care of me. 
Christina: Well I'm glad but I'm still going to make Jamual pay. After all he ruined my plans for Kevin and Lucy. Oh well at least I made them suffer. Oh Daddy I'm so glad you are around I've missed not having you in my life. 
Chris: I've missed you to I have always loved you and never stopped thinking about you. 
Christina: Mommy always said she could feel your love coming to us. 
Chris has tears in his eyes. 
Chris: Well I'm glad she felt that love coming. Did you? 
Christina: ofcourse Daddy Mommy always told me it did so I know it did. 
Chris: So how are you doing? 
Christina: Well I'm anoyed they stopped me from my plan but over all I'm okay. I can't believe those dopes arrested me. Don't they know I was clenzing the earth of evil. 
Chris raises and eyebrow. 
Chris: Well I guess everyone looks at things differently. 
Christina: yeah well Mommy taught me the right way. An eye for and eye a tooth for a tooth. they hurt us so now I'm hurting them. 
Chris: Well that that is sertenly one approach huney. Listen I'm going to go now okay. You take it easy and I'll come see you when I get released from here okay? 
Christina: Oh Daddy that would be great. Maybe you can get me out of here then we can take care of the rest of them together. I love you bye. 
Christina hangs up before Chris can reply. Chris stairs at the phone dumb founded. He hangs it up then lays his head back and rubs his face. 
Chris: Well Julie you sertenly did a number on her didn't you. 
Chris sighs and shakes his head. 
Chris: I don't even know if I can help her. But I have to try. 
Chris grabs the phone and dails anuther number. 
Tammy: Jackson Montgumery Law Office. 
Chris: Yeah I need to speak with Mr. Jackson ameadeitly it's urgent. 
Tammy: One moment please 
Chris waits still trying to deal with his conversation with Christina. 
Jackson: Jackson Montgummery here 
Chris: hello Mr. Montgummery this is Chris Ramsey. 
Jackson: Oh yes Mr. Ramsey you're the one who operated on my brother right? 
Chris: Yeah how is he doing? 
Jackson: Worlds better thanks to you. So how may I help you? 
Chris: Well my oldest daughter is mentilly ill and has hurt alot of people. I assure you she has goodness in her and is being controled by factors beyond her controle. I want to make sure she goes to a first rate mental hospital and not a prison 
Jackson: I understand. I'll be on the next plain to Port Charles. 
Chris: Thankyou Mr. Montgumery 
Jackson: You're welcome 
They hang up Chris sighs and rubs his face, then stairs at the seeling. 
Chris: God please let this work. 

Joe, Neil, Angel and Frankie are all shooting hoops out side to blow off steam. 
Frankie: I don't get why Dad would want to see that monster. I mean she tried to kill him and she killed Mom! 
Angel: Frankie she's his daughter he feels a responsibility to her. You know how Dad is about helping people especially if he's related to them. 
Frankie: Oh so you like the idea of him talking to that psycho! 
Angel sighs 
Angel: No but I understand it. 
Neil: You know we all have different ways of dealing with things. For Dad facing her maybe away of dealing with all she's done. 
Joe: It's pretty typical of Frank to not be able to wash his hands of someone. I remember when we found out Julie was the General Homicide killer. She had tried to kill our whole family, had hurt our mother, and had shot him. 
Joe shakes his head 
Joe: But there he was Thanksgiving Day no less right at her side. No matter what she said or did he wouldn't turn his back on her. 
Angel: What finely made him let go? 
Joe shrugs 
Joe: You know I'm not intierly sure. I know it took a good couple of months though. I think he probably just got tired of being pushed away and well 
Joe smiles 
Joe: Courtney started being a much bigger part of his life. 
Neil laughs 
Neil: Well then no wonder he let go of Julie. When it came to my Dad, Mom always new how to get what she wanted. 
Angel smiles 
Angel: Yes but Dad had his limits with her to. 
Neil: Oh ofcourse we all did but I think for the most part she got away with a lot when it came to Dad. 
Frankie: I hope I find someone I'm that crazy about someday. 
Joe: You will you got the Scanlon charm. 
Frankie smiles a little and blushes. 
Angel: I wonder what Mom would say if she new Dad went to visit Christina. 
Frankie: She'd be furious. 
Neil: I don't know I think Mom might understand. She wasn't the most understanding person in the world but she'd gotten much better. 
Neil gets a sad look in his eyes 
Neil: God I'm going to miss her. 
Joe puts his arm around Neil 
Joe: I know buddy. Hey I have an idea why don't we all go inside and write letters to Courtney. We can put them in her casket with her. 
Frankie: What would we write? 
Joe: What ever you feel like. Tell her how much you love her, how much you'll miss her what ever comes to mind. 
Angel: That sounds nice. 
Neil nods 
Neil: Yeah it does. 
The group heads in. Soon after they hear the front door open. 
Frank: Joe, Neil, Angel, Frankie get in here! 
Everyone comes running 
Joe: Frank what's going on? Is everything okay? 
Neil: Did you see Christina? How did that go? 
Angel: What did she say? 
Frankie: Did you tell her your her father? 
Frank is standing there beaming ear to ear. 
Frank: Well first off everything is fine in fact I have some incredible news. As for Christina the visit was a disaster. She wanted no part of me and threatened to strangle me. And no I didn't have a chance to tell her and I doubt she would have listened anyway. 
Frankie: So are you going to leave her alone now? 
Neil: So if it went so poorly why do you look so happy?
Frank: I think for the ameadeit future I will be leaving her alone it is probably best for everyone that I do. And I look so happy because a miracle has occurred. 
Everyone looks at each other not sure what he's talking about. 
Joe: What do you mean? 
Frank: I went to see Lark after words. I was just standing there talking to her and well 
Frank leans out the door and motions to someone. Lark steps inside with a sheepish grin on her face 
Lark: Hi everyone I'm back. 
Everyone stairs at her in disbelief their jaws hanging open. 
Joe: Lark you've come to! 
Joe happily hugs his niece 
Neil: Wow this is a miracle! Welcome back sis! 
Neil hugs her tightly 
Angel: Oh what a wonderful surprise! We've missed you so much! 
Angel hugs her 
Frankie: Wow this is so cool! 
Frankie hugs her. 
Neil: How do you feel? 
Frankie: Are you home for good? 
Joe: How did this happen? 
Angel: So could you hear us? 
Frank: Okay everyone enough with the twenty questions don't bombard her. 
Lark: It's okay Dad I've been quite so long it is nice to talk. I feel fine a little tired and somewhat confused but over all I'm fine. No, I need to stay at the hospital it a little longer. I still need therapy and probably always will. But the doctor did say If everything goes well I'll probably be home for good in a month or so. Dad got the doctor to give me a one day pass to come see all of you. I'm not sure I guess my mind just snapped into gear or something. Dad was talking, and yes I could hear every word I just couldn't respond, anyway he was talking and something clicked and I could suddenly respond. 
Everyone nods 
Joe: Well this is the best news I've heard in sometime that's for sure. 
Neil: Lord knows we needed it. 
Angel: Come on in and sit down you must be hungry I'll get you something to eat. 
Frankie: This is so cool! 
Frank: This is very cool. And it was just what I needed after my visit with Christina. 
Lark smiles 
Lark: I'm glad I could help. 
Everyone sits down and starts getting re aquatinted with Lark. 

Chris is resting comfortably in his bed when Karen comes in. 
Karen: Hey handsome. 
Chris: Hey there good looking 
They kiss tenderly 
Chris: So what are you up to? 
Karen: Not much just said bye to my Dad. He was released today Serena is taking him home. 
Chris nods 
Chris: Why aren't you going? 
Karen: I'm going over for dinner tonight. I'm on duty today and besides I like being close to you. 
Chris smiles 
Chris: Well I'm not going to argue with that. 
Karen: It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it. 
They both laugh and then kiss. 
Karen: So how are you feeling? 
Chris sighs 
Chris: A little sore but okay. 
Karen nods 
Karen: That's good. 
Chris: I guess I should let you know what's going on with Christina 
Karen looks worried 
Karen: What now? 
Chris: Oh it's not a problem it's just I've started trying to help her and I wanted you to know. 
Karen sighs a bit releaved 
Karen: So what have you done so far? 
Chris: Well I called her not to long ago. 
Karen: Oh how did that go? 
Chris sighs and shakes his head. 
Chris: She's a mess Karen. She is so full of anger, hate, and vengince I've never seen anything like it. 
Chris shakes his head sadly. Karen squezes his hand supportivly 
Karen: Hey don't get discouraged you've only started it may be bad now but who knows what some theripy and time will do. Not to mention love. 
Chris smiles and shakes his head 
Chris: You're incredible you know that. I've never met anyone so supportive. 
Karen: Chris you are my husband so that which is important to you is automaticly important to me. And don't for get she is my adopted sister. I wouldn't mind the idea of her getting better one bit. 
Chris: Yeah well judging from the call I had with her I'd say her getting better is a long way in the distants. 
Karen: That bad huh 
Chris: Oh she was talking about how she was going to kill Jamual because he arrested her and so on and so forth. The scary thing is Karen, she dosn't have any concept that what she's done or threatening to do is wrong. It's not like she is choosing to be cruel. She honestly dosn't understand why she was arrested. She feels completly justified in her actions. Karen I'm starting to think that Julie may have never even tried to teach her right from wrong. If I'm right getting her well is going to be even harder. 
Karen: Well have you taken any steps to help her yet? 
Chris: Yeah I called this lawyer friend friend of mine in Pine Vally. He's a really great lawyer his name is Jackson Montgumery and he's won a tune of very highly publisized cases. 
Karen: And he is going to represent her? 
Chris nods 
Chris: Yeah he said he'd help me get her into the best mental fesility around. 
Karen: Well that's a great first step. 
Chris nods 
Chris: I guess the thing is I'm sure she won't see it as helping so I've got to be very careful how I do this. 
Karen nods. 
Karen: Would it be so bad if she did know? 
Chris: Karen aside from Julie I'm the only person in this world who she dosn't seem to hate. She trusts me this gives me an edge no one else has right now. If I blow her trust she will isolate herself even more. Then helping her is going to be out of the question. I can only help her if she trusts me. 
Karen: Well I'm sure you'll figure it out you always do. 
Chris smiles 
Chris: Thanks I hope so 
Karen: I know so 
They kiss 

Randi, Scott, Serena, and Brian are all sitting in the living room talking. 
Brian: It's so weird having you back here. I mean it's great but. . . 
Scott: But it makes Mom's absence more noticable I know. 
Randi: I don't think I'll ever get that image of the two of you laying on the floor with knives sticking out of your chests out of my head. 
Randi starts crying. Serena puts her arm around her sister. 
Serena: It's a horrific image I know but I promise it will get easier. 
Brian: I don't imagen it could get much harder. 
Scott: Well the thing to remember is we aren't alone. We have each other and the killer is now behind bars so we're all safe. 
Randi: I still can't believe it was Christina. I mean Julie I could believe but Christina? 
Brian: I guess the apple dosn't fall far from the tree. 
Serena: It is odd to think she spent the first year of her life in this house and then turned around and took lives in this house. 
Scott: I know here she is my adopted daughter and she tried to kill me and killed Eve 
Scott shakes his head sadly 
Randi: Do you think she feels bad about it? 
Scott: I'd like to think she would but I doubt it. 
Serena: She sertenly didn't last night. 
Brian: Do you think she would have been just as evil if she'd been raised here? 
Scott: No no absolutly not. No child is ever ever born evil. 
Serena: I agree this was a clear result of Julie taking her. 
Randi: Are you going to go see her? 
Scott: No, no I don't think I could handle that. Maybe one day but right now I just can't. 
Serena nods 
Serena: That's probubly a good idea. I know Lucy wants to I just pray Kevin gets her to change her mind 
Scott snorts 
Scott: Lots of luck there. No Lucy is determend. It's safe to see her I mean she's locked up real good but. . . 
Scott runs his hand through his hair. 
Serena: But the reality of it is alot to handle. 
Scott: I just think she's setting herself up to get hurt. 
Serena sighs 
Serena: I know 
Just then the phone rings. Serena grabs it. 
Serena: Hello Baldwin residents 
Frankie: Hi is Randi there? 
Serena: Sure hold on. Randi it's for you 
Randi: Hello? 
Frankie: Hey Randi it's Frankie 
Randi smiles 
Randi: Oh hi how are you doing? 
Randi moves away from the others. 
Serena leans in 
Serena: It sounded like Frankie Scanlon 
Scott and Brian turn to watch Randi across the room 
Frankie: I'm okay I guess. Just kind of torn. My feelings are all jumbled up you know 
Randi: Yeah I know what you mean. It's like I'm so happy my Dad is home but it kind of makes it more apparent that Mom isn't coming home. 
Frankie: Yeah it's weird I keep thinking she's going to walk in the room any minute. 
Randi: I know the feeling. It's like when I wake up I half expect to hear her calling from down stairs to hurry up. 
Frankie: Yeah when I walked into the kitchen this morning I half expected to see her. 
Randi: Serena says it will get easier. 
Frankie: Yeah my Dad said the same thing. 
Randi: So I guess you heard about who the J killer is? 
Frankie: Yeah the whole house is pretty much in shock. I mean she is my half sister! 
Randi: I know she's my adopted sister. It's so hard to believe I could be related to someone like that. 
Frankie: At least she's not your blood relitive. 
Randi: True, It's so scary to see how Julie affected her. I mean think about it if Julie hadn't taken her this would never have happend. It really makes you see what an impact a person can have on anuther person 
Frankie: Yeah I know. Enough about that I got something cool to tell you 
Randi: What? 
Frankie: My sister Lark has come out of her canitonic state. 
Randi: Oh Frankie that's wonderful! What a miracle. 
Frankie: Tell me about it. We've been sitting around getting to know her again for awhile now. 
Randi: Wow that's great Frankie well I guess water really maybe thicker then blood 
Frankie: Maybe. Hey listen you want to go to the arcade with me? I need to blow off some steem. 
Randi: Uh yeah hold on 
Randi covers the mouth peace with her hand 
Randi: Dad can I go to the video arcade with Frankie? 
Scott looks at Serena 
Serena: It's just the video arcade and he is a nice guy. 
Scott: Okay just be home by dinner. 
Randi: Okay thanks Dad. Frankie I can go 
Frankie: Great I'll meet you there. 
Randi: Okay see you soon 
Frankie: Okay bye. 
Randi hangs up the phone and grabs her coat. 
Randi: Thanks Dad don't worry I'll be back for dinner. 
Randi runs out the door. 
Brian: Total date. 
Serena laughs 
Serena: Well I think right now it's more like friendship but who knows where it could lead. 
Scott: Well where ever it goes it better go slow. 
Serena: I wouldn't worry right now they seem just like good friends. So who is hungery? 
Brian: I could eat. 
Scott: Yeah I guess I could to. 
Serena: Okay you guys relax I'll go wip something up. 
Serena heads for the kitchen. 

Christina is sleeping restlessly on her cot. She begins to dream vividly. She sees Chris tied up to a chair. Kevin, Lucy, Frank, and Scott are all standing around him screaming at him. They are yelling horrible insults and curse words at him. 
Christina: NO STOP IT YOU CAN'T TALK TO MY DADDY THAT WAY!!! 
As Christina yells out in her sleep the group becomes more vicious and begins punching, hitting, and kicking Chris. Christina pulls out a gun to try and stop them, but it is taken from her and Kevin, Lucy, Frank and Scott take turns shooting Chris. 
Christina tries to move forward towards him but finds her feet stuck to the ground. She screams in horror. Suddenly she can hear Julie's voice far off in the distance. 
Julie: They will kill him Christina only you can protect your father. If they live they will kill your Daddy. Only you can save him. 
Christina: NO! 
Christina sits straight up in bed covered in sweat. She jumps off her cot and begins pacing like a caged tiger. 
Christina: I have to stop them! They've already caused me to loose my Mommy and my freedom I can't let them take my Daddy! I have to stop them! 
Christina gets a very cold and dark look on her face. 
Christina: I will stop them. No one messes with my Daddy no one. 

Gabriella is buzy in the kitchen making dinner when the phone rings. 
Gabriella: Hello? 
Alison: Hey Gabby it's Alison what's up? 
Gabriella: Oh hi Alison how are you doing? I'm just making dinner. How about you? 
Alison: I'm actually doing pretty good. A miracle occurred today over at Ferncliff 
Gabriella: I know Lark came to. Joe called me a little bit ago. It is so incredible. I really had lost hope on that front ages ago. 
Alison: I know I think most of us had. I tried to keep a positive attitude but the likely hood of her coming to after she had been catatonic for so long well. . . 
Gabriella: I know they were slim to none. I don't think in all my years of nursing I've ever heard of someone coming out of such a state after such a long period in that state. 
Alison: It really makes you believe in miracles. 
Gabriella: Yeah it does. According to Joe she came to right after Frank started blaming himself for her condition right infront of her. I guess her love for him is stronger then her condition was. 
Alison: I guess so. It just goes to show you what love can do. 
Gabriella: Yeah and with everything that is going on it was one miracle Frank really needed. 
Alison sighs 
Alison: I know I know He was really shook up about Christina. Jamual and I did our best last night to help him see he's not to blame but. . . 
Gabriella: I know it's such a mess. I think he's starting to see that but it's going to take along time to heal from this shock 
Alison: I know I can still hardly believe it. 
Gabriella: I know what you mean I didn't know Julie or Christina but this isn't something I would have ever guessed Christina would have become. 
Alison: I know the idea of Franks daughter being a killer is just 
Gabriella: Unthinkable. Oh well at least she's behind bars now where she can't hurt anyone else 
Alison: Amen to that. This is one nightmare we can finely put to rest. She won't be going after anyone else ever again. 

Jamual is sitting at his deak when there is a nock at his door. 
Jamual: Come in 
A very well dressed man enters. 
Mr. Montgumery: Hello you must be detective Woods correct? 
Jamual: Yeah and you are? 
The man smiles politly and stretches his hand out 
Mr. Montgummery: I'm Mr. Jackson Montgummery It's a pleasure to meet you. 
Jamual: Well hello Mr. Montgummery welcome to Port Charles. So what brings a big time defence atterny like yourself to our little town. 
Mr. Montgumery smiles as he sits down 
Mr. Montgummery: I have a new client that you're holding here. I need to meet with her right away, so I can get to work on her case. 
Jamual: And her name would be 
Mr. Montgumery: Christina Ramsey 
Jamual is stunned to say the least and leans back 
Jamual: You you are defending Ms. Ramsey. Are are you aware of
Mr Montgummery nods 
Mr. Montgummery: Of her crimes yes I am well aware of them. After Mr. Ramsey contacted me earlier today I did some research. 
Jamual sighs and mutters under his breath 
Jamual: damm Chris can't leave well enough alone. 
Mr. Montgummery: Detective Woods Ms. Ramsey is seareusly ill and needs help. I am simply here to see that she gets it. She does have the right you know 
Jamual mutters somemore 
Jamual: Yeah and the people of this town have a right to be safe. 
Mr. Montgummery: Detective Woods I really do need to see my client and not allowing me to is an infringment of her constitutional rights 
Jamual sighs 
Jamual: You'll get to see her. Come on I'll show you to a visitor's room and have one of the gaurds bring her in. 
Mr. Montgummery smiles 
Mr. Montgummery: Great. 
Jamual shows Mr. Montgummery to a visiting room, while officer Michael Qourtermaine goes to get Christina. When Michael gets to her cell he looks in and gasps in horrer and disbelief. Then goes running to find Jamual 
Michael: DETECTIVE WOODS DETECTIVE WOODS!! 
Jamual who was heading back to his office jumps at hearing Michael screaming franticly. He turns and sees him racing towards him. 
Jamual: Michael what is it? 
Michael: It's Ms. Ramsey Detective Woods she's escaped! 
 
 

Jamual looks at officer Qourtermaine in shock as the words sink in. 
Jamual: ESCAPED!! SHE'S ESCAPED!!!! THE MOST DANGEROUS CRIMINAL PORT CHARLES HAS SEEN IN DECADES AND SHE'S ESCAPED!!!!!! 
Everyone turns and looks at Jamual who looks like he's about to have a nurves break down. 
Officer Qourtermaine: I'm sorry sir I don't know how this could have happend. I just went in and the cell is empty and the window in her cell as been pryed open. 
Jamual: I DON'T GIVE A DAMN HOW IT HAPPEND WE HAVE TO CATCH THAT LOONE BEFORE SHE TAKES ANOTHER LIFE!!

Jamual goes into his office and slams the door, gets on the phone and continues barking orders. 
Frank and Lark are back in her room at Ferncliff. Lark is ready for bed. 
Frank: So how are you feeling? 
Lark: Tired but glad to be out of that weird state I was in. 
Frank hugs his daughter. 
Frank: Me to. I am so thankful to have you back Lark. It was like a part of my heart was missing when you were gone. 
Lark smiles at him with a tear in her eye 
Lark: I love you to Dad. 
Frank smiles 
Frank: Well it's been a long day. Come on now it's time to get you to bed. 
Lark lays down in her bed and Frank proceeds to tuck her in. Lark smiles 
Lark: Dad you really don't have to tuck me in. 
Frank sits on the side of her bed. 
Frank: I'm your Dad and as long as I'm around you are my little girl. And for as long as that's the case I will tuck you in. 
Lark laughs. 
Lark: Yes sir. 
Frank smiles at her and strokes her face. 
Frank: Do you have any idea how much I love? Or how greatful I am that you're back. 
Lark has tears in her eyes. 
Lark: I think it's one of the reasons I got better. You know Dad it's weird but sometimes I forget your not my biological father. 
Frank smiles 
Frank: Me to. You know in my heart you'll always be my first born. 
Lark sits up and they hug. 
Lark: Dad can I ask you something? 
Frank: Ofcourse 
Lark: Can you please be careful. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you. 
Frank smiles and takes Lark's hand in his. 
Frank: Lark I am safe don't worry. You are not going to loose me. Julie is dead and Christina is locked up. Nothing is going to get me. 
Lark sighs 
Lark: But what if she escapes? 
Frank shakes his head. 
Frank: Jamual will never let that happen. Christina is locked up and as long as she is we are all safe. Don't worry she can't hurt us now. Jamual has her all locked up tight. 

Chris is sleeping peacefully as a shadowy figure comes into his room and moves quetly over to him. The figure reaches out and starts stroking Chris's head. Chris stirs in his sleep and then opens his eyes. As he awakens and looks around he sees the person who is standing over him and bults up right. 
Chris: Christina! 
Christina smiles at him broadly and throws her arms around him happily. 
Christina: Daddy! Oh Daddy I'm so so happy to see you! I was so scared they had killed you. 
Chris is franticly trying to collect his thoughts as he looks at Christina 
Chris: Who? Who were you afraid was trying to kill me? 
Christina laughs 
Christina: Lucy, Kevin and Frank ofcouse. Silly Daddy. Are you okay? How do you feel? 
Chris: I I am fine Christina you don't have to worry about me. I'm going to be just fine. And you don't have to worry about Frank, Kevin and Lucy they won't hurt me. 
Christina: Well ofcourse they won't. 
Christina gets a sinester look in her eye. 
Christina: Cause I'm not going to let them. They are going to pay each and everyone of them. 
Christina shows Chris the nife in her bag and Chris tries not to show his panic. 
Chris: Uh Christina 
Christina: Now don't worry Daddy I haven't forgotten what Jamual did. As soon as I finesh with Kevin, Lucy and Frank I'll take care of that creep for good. Mommy taught me how to handle things. 
Christina nods confidently. 
Chris: Well you are sertenly a loyal young lady. Loyalty is a great quality. 
Christina smiles 
Christina: Oh Daddy thankyou I'm so glad you're proud of me. Mommy always said you would be. 
Chris: Well I am proud of you. You're very smart and loyal that's for sure. What other people did your mother tell you about? 
Christina thinks 
Christina: Well I've pretty much taken care of everyone on the list. Once I take care of Frank, Kevin, Lucy, and Jamual I'll be pretty much done. Well that is unless anyone else gets in my way. You know I'd love to take out Neil and Serena those two little jerks actually have the nurve to think of me as family. Can you imagen 
Christina laughs angrily 
Christina: They are nothing more then pests. If they get anywhere near me I'll off them like that 
Christina snaps her fingures. Chris shutters. 
Christina: Why Daddy do you have someone else you'd like me to handle. 
Christina's eyes glisten as her face lights up. 
Chris: What? No no I I don't need you to take care of anyone. 
Christina smiles 
Christina: Okay Daddy but if you change your mind let me know. 
Chris: Can I ask you something? 
Christina: Sure Daddy 
Chris: How did you get out of Jail and over here? 
Christina shrugs 
Christina: Mommy taught me all of her tricks. It was very easy. 
Chris: I see. You are very resorceful. That's a good quality. 
Christina: Yep 
Chris: You know Christina there are alot of ways to get back at people. Murder isn't the only way. 
Christina laughs 
Christina: Oh Daddy you're such a softy. Mommy always said you were. And I know there are alot of ways to hurt people, but in this case this is the only way. They hurt you and Mommy so bad. there is no option. 
Christina gets a cold and dark look on her face. 
Chris: Did your Mom tell you to do all this? 
Christina: She told me to make sure everyone that hurt her and you payed. And that is what I did. 
Christina looks at Chris with sudden anger. 
Christina: Aren't you happy I avenged the crimes against Mother! 
Chris jumps 
Chris: Yes yes ofcourse now keep your voice down before someone hears you and comes in.
Christina relaxes and smiles again. 
Christina: Oh Daddy don't worry about me I'm a big girl. Mommy taught me how to handle things. Besides if someone walks in I'll just kill them. 
Christina pats Chris on the head. 
Chris gulps trying not to show his real feelings. 
Christina: Now Daddy I really must go. But don't you worry as soon as I finesh taking care of these loosers I'll be back. then you and I can go be a family. 
Chris tries to smile 
Chris: You know I always wanted to be a part of your life. 
Christina: And now you will but first I need to finesh my work. Mommy always said it's important to have a good work ethic. 
She blows a kiss to Chris and leaves quietly. Chris sits in his room his heart pounding a million miles a second. 
Chris: OH MY GOD! She is completly out of controle!! DAMMIT JULIE!! 
Chris throws an empty plastic piture across the room 
Chris: YOU HAVE COMPLETLY DESTROYED OUR MIRRICAL!! WHAT THE HELL KIND OF MOTHER WERE YOU!!! 
Chris is shaking as tears of rage, and sadness fill his eyes. 
Chris: YOUR LEAVING MAY NOT HAVE STOPPED ME FROM LOVING YOU BUT THIS!!! THIS JUST MIGHT!!! 
Chris takes a deep breath pulling himself together. 
Chris: I have to protect Karen. I know Christina didn't mention her but I have to protect her. But how! How the hell do I protect her when I'm here in the hospital! 
Chris gets an idea. 
Chris: I'm not sure how much I believe in brotherly love but desperate times call for desperate measures. 
Chris grabs the phone and dails some numbers 
Jack: Yeah 
Chris: Jack it's Chris please don't hang up. Just listen okay 
Jack: Okay I'm listening what do you want 
Chris: I'm sure you've heard about Christina by now. 
Jack: Yeah she's as big a nut as her mom. Killed a bunch of people and tried to kill several others. 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Yeah mostly because of her mother. 
Jack: You took a bullet for her right? 
Chris: I don't expect you to understand but she's like a daughter to me. 
Jack: So what you're proud of her or something? 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Oh come on Jack don't be such an idiot! Ofcourse I'm not proud of her!! She's a killer how the hell could I be proud of that! 
Jack: Hey you're the one that took a bullet for her. 
Chris grits his teeth. 
Chris: A person can love someone and not be proud of them. Those are two different things. 
Jack: Whatever. So why you calling me anyway? 
Chris: She's escaped from Jail, and I''m afraid of what she might do 
Jack: Oh you think she wants you dead to. 
Chris: No I don't think she wants me dead to. I'm the only person she trusts right now. But I do think she might want Karen, Abby and Christopher dead. 
Chris chokes on his words. 
Jack: Woah not good. But what makes you think that? 
Chris: Because Julie and Karen weren't exactly friends when Julie left. And Christina has made it pretty clear that all of this is about getting back at people Julie didn't like. 
Jack: Wow man that's scary. 
Chris: That's why I'm calling 
Jack: What do you mean? 
Chris: You came to town after Julie left. She never new you. She didn't even know my brothers name. There for she couldn't have told Christina about you. 
Jack catches on 
Jack: So if Karen and the kids were with me Christina wouldn't be able to find them. 
Chris: Exactly. Look Jack I know you don't give a damn about me but. . . 
Jack: Hey forget about that. This is important I mean lives are at stake. Look you call Karen and have her get herself and the kids ready and I'll go pick them up and bring them to my place. 
Chris sighs with relief 
Chris: Great
Jack: Hey we're family. Speaking of which if she hasn't been caught by the time you get out I'll come get you and bring you to my place as well. 
Chris: No as I said I love Christina I want to help her. 
Jack: What?! 
Chris: Look it's not like I''m getting her set free. Just sent to a mental hospital where she can get help. 
Jack: I hope you know what you're doing. 
Chris: Just get Karen and the kids okay! 
Jack: Fine 
Jack starts to hang up 
Chris: Jack waite 
Jack: What 
Chris: Thanks 
Jack: You're welcome. 
They hang up. Chris sighs and quickly calls Karen. 
Karen: Hello? 
Chris: Karen it's Chris 
Karen: Oh My God Chris did you hear?! It's all over the news! Christina escaped! 
Chris: Yeah I know that's why I'm calling. Listen to me okay this is very important 
Karen: Okay. 
Chris: I want you and the kids to get packed it's not safe for you there. Christina is after anyone Julie didn't like. 
Karen: Okay if you think it's best we can go to my Dad's 
Chris: No! You'll be sitting ducks there. Listen I've called my brother Jack and he's coming to pick you and the kids up. The three of you are going to stay at his place with him till she's caught. 
Karen: With Jack? But you're not even close 
Chris: Exactly! Julie didn't even know my brothers name which means Christina dosn't either. Jack and I may not be close but he dosn't want to see anybody getting killed. Please Karen just do what I'm telling you your life and our childrens lives may depend on it. 
Karen shivers as she hears the seareusness in his voice. 
Karen: Okay I'll I'll get us all ready right away. Is Jack coming to get us soon? 
Chris: Yes, I'll call you tomarrow at his place to make sure everything is okay. Karen I know you don't like the idea of hiding but 
Karen: But it's nessisary right now I understand. I'll go pack right now 
Chris: Great Jack will be there soon. 
Karen: Okay bye 
Chris: Karen waite. 
Karen: Yeah? 
Chris: I love you 
Karen smiles 
Karen: I love you to 
They hang up. Chris leans back and sighs 
Chris: At least my family is safe. 

Lark lays in her bed soundly sleeping. Suddenly she starts dreaming vivedly. She is in a church with her siblings, uncle, aunt and cousins. They are all crying. She looks up to the front of the church and sees an open casket. She gasps in horrer and screams out NO!! When she's sees it's her father laying there with a knife sticking out of his chest. She races towards him and trips over something. She looks up and sees Julie laughing crazily. 
Julie: Listen you little brat! Your preshus Daddy is as good as dead and there is nothing you can do about it! She's going to kill him! 
Lark: NO, NO I WON'T LET YOU HURT HIM! 
Lark jumps up and lunges at Julie. Suddenly the scene changes. Lark is standing infront of an empty jail cell. She can hear Courtney's voice but can't see her. 
Courtney: She's escaped Lark. She's escaped! Your father is in danger Lark! Protect him as he's protected you! Help him! 
Lark cries out in her sleep once more 
Lark: How! 
Suddenly she sees Courtney. The two of them are now standing out side the Scanlon house. 
Courtney: Look inside Lark 
Lark pears in the window. She gasps when she sees Angel, Frankie, and Neil all tied up. Then she sees Christina is hiding behind the front door. Suddenly she sees her Dad come up on the front portch. 
Lark: Dad No! Don't go in there! 
Courtney: He can't hear you. 
Frank walks in Christina jumps out and stabs him. Lark cries out 
Lark: No No I can't loose him no I can't loose my Dad! 
Courtney takes her by the shoulders. 
Courtney: Then hurry Lark. Hurry get up and move. You can save him Lark. Hurry! 
Lark bolts up right in bed drentched in sweet her whole body shaking. 
Lark: No! 
Somewhere in the night Lark hears Courtney's voice. 
Courtney: Hurry Lark time is running out. 
Lark swallows hard and nods as she pulls herself together. 
Lark: No she isn't going to kill my Dad cause I'm not going to let her. 
Lark gets a very determend look on her face. Gets out of bed and begins dressing quickly. 

Joe is pacing around his kitchen like a caged tiger dialing and redialing numbers on the phone, when Gabriella enters 
Joe: Come on, come on Dammit Frank pick up the dam phone! 
Gabriella: Joe what's wrong? I can hear you all the way upstairs. Has something happend? 
Joe looks intensly at Gabriella 
Joe: You haven't heard? 
Gabriella shakes her head 
Gabriella: Heard what? 
Joe sighs 
Joe: That damn jail needs to be reinforced a little more. Christina has escaped and God only knows where she is headed. 
Gabriella gasps in horrer. 
Gabriella: Oh My God this is awful! Joe she is out of controle God only knows who she'll go after! 
Joe: Exactly! And my brother based on what he told me about their earlier visit could be number one on her list! 
Joe throws the phone against the wall. 
Gabriella: He dosn't know? 
Joe: I doubt it. He took Lark back to Ferncliff and was then going to go over to the recovery room and lock things up. 
Joe shakes his head 
Gabriella: And you haven't been able to reach him? 
Joe: No! I call his cell phone and they tell me it's turned off. I call his pager but he dosn't respond. I called the house and he hasn't gotten home yet. And I'm not about to tell the kids what's going on. They've been through enough. 
Gabriella: Well, well maybe he knows. I mean I'm sure it's on the radio. Or someone at the recovery room might mention it. 
Joe: I''m sure he didn't have it on while Lark was with him they were to busy talking, and on the way home is doubtful. My brother isn't a big radio person. And the odds are no one except the custodian who only speaks Spanish will be at the recovery room. Frank dosn't know spanish. 
Gabriella nods 
Gabriella: Well then I'll call the custodian and explain what's going on. Sertenly the custodian can handle saying call Joe. 
Joe: I guess it's worth a try. 
Gabriella: Ofcourse it is. 
Gabriella grabs the phone and calls. but the phone just rings and rings no one anwsers. 
Gabriella looks at Joe and shakes her head as she finelly hangs it up. 
Joe: Dammit! 
Gabriella goes to him 
Gabriella: Hey come on now. first off we don't really know that he dosn't know. And secondly even if he dosn't we can't be sure that he's first on her list or even on her list at this point. For all we know she's getting out of the country while the getting is good. 
Joe looks at Gabriella intensly 
Joe: I just got my brother back Gabby I can't loose him. 
Gabriella sighs and wraps Joe tightly in her arms. 
Gabriella: I know and you won't you just won't. 

Scott is snoozing on the coutch. Brian and Randi are upstairs and Serena is in the kitchen cleaning up after dinner. Scott suddenly feels someone stroking his head. Scott opens his eyes and tries to focuse. Then jumps up as what he sees comes into focus. There before him all in white with a worm glow of light around her is Eve. 
Scott: Eve! 
Eve: I'm here Scotty. 
Scott reaches out to her but she backs away 
Eve: No Scotty I'm sorry you can't tutch me. 
Scott: But you're here you've come back 
Eve: Only because something very bad is about to happen and you have the power to help. 
Scott looks at her puzzled. 
Scott: What's going to happen? 
Scott gets panicked 
Scott: The kids aren't in danger are they 
Eve: No Scotty no. They are fine. But people we know and care about are in grave danger. You can help 
Scott: How! What can I do? 
Eve: Listen to Randi. 
Scott: What do you mean listen to Randi? I always listen to her 
Eve shakes her head 
Eve: No Scott, I don't mean hear her I mean listen. Randi is going to hear something. She needs you to do exactly what she asks or lives will be lost. 
Scott: Okay I can do that. Can you give me an idea when this is going to happen or what it's about? 
Eve: Soon Scott and that's all I can tell you. I have to go now. 
Scott: No wait! No please Eve don't leave me! 
Eve smiles sadly 
Eve: I'm always with you Scotty you know that. But my time here is done. I have to go just remember what I said please listen to Randi. 
Eve vanishes. 
Scott: No! 
Scott bolts up right out of his sleep. Serena comes in 
Serena: Dad! Are you okay what's wrong? 
Scott looks around 
Scott: Yeah I'm I'm fine I was just dreaming. 
Scott sighs 
Scott: It was just a dream. 
Serena nods and hugs her Dad 
Serena: It will get easier Dad I promise 
Scott smiles up at Serena 
Scott: I hope so 
Serena: I'll make you some hot tea okay 
Scott: Make it apple cider and you've got yourself a deal. 
Serena smiles 
Serena: Coming up. 
Serena leaves 
Scott: Yeah just a crazy dream. 
Just then Scott hears Eve's voice in his head. 
Eve: No Scott it's not. Please Scott listen to Randi you must listen to Randi. 

Neil and Angel are cleaning up the living room after the Lark is back celebration. As an unseen Christina watches from outside. 
Christina: I hope you liked your little party cause it was your last. 
Christina pats her bag that carries the knife and smiles to herself wickedly. 
Inside Angel and Neil are talking 
Neil: Well having Lark back sure brightend this house up 
Angel: I'll say. You know it's funny but even though she isn't Dad's bioligical daughter. . . 
Neil nods 
Neil: I know you would never guess it. I guess it just goes to show how blood means very little in the area of family. 
Angel nods 
Angel: Definetly 
Neil: Hey would you mind taking these albums upstairs for me before they get dirty. 
Angel: Sure no problem 
Angel grabs them and heads upstairs. 
Christina smiles 
Christina: Why I do believe it's time to make my enterance. 
She takes the key from under the mat and shakes her head. 
Christina: Mom sure new these fools. They still keep their spare key here after all these years. 
She shrugs 
Christina: Oh well just makes it easier for me. 
Christina slowly opens the door and moves in. Neil is obliveous to the danger he's in as Christina walks up behind him. She raises the rock she found in the yard and wacks him over the head. Neil falls to the floor. Christina pulls him up into a chair and ties him up to the chair and puts tape over his mouth so he can't yell. 
Christina stands infront of Neil who is unconscious 
Christina: There we go now you won't be able to warn that horrible man you call a father. 
Christina cackles. 
Christina: Well I'd better hide quick so I can get Angel when she comes back. I think the closet will do. 
Christina quickly hides in the closet near the stairs. 
Upstairs Angel peaks her head into Frankie's room. 
Angel: Hey Frankie when you're off the phone come down and give us a hand. 
Frankie: Yeah sure whatever 
Angel rolls her eyes and walks out of Frankie's room. 

Alison is on the phone with an irate Jamual. 
Jamual: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! THE NIGHT MARE WAS OVER! OVER ALLY WE HAD HER LOCKED UP! AND NOW NOW SHE COULD BE ANYWHERE DOING GOD KNOWS WHAT TO GOD KNOWS WHO!! DAMMIT! I SWEAR ALLY I SWEAR IF SHE KILLS OR INJURES ANYONE I'M GOING TO FIND OUT WHICH GAURD WAS SLEEPING ON THE JOB AND HAVE THEIR BADGE FOR BREAKFAST!! 
Alison: Jamual calm down take a deep breath and 
Jamual: CALM DOWN CALM DOWN!! ALLY THE BIGGEST THREAT TO PORT CHARLES SINCE GREG COOPER HAS ESCAPED! PEOPLE WE LOVE COULD BE IN DANGER AND YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN!! 
Alison: Jamual listen to me okay. She's smart you said so yourself. She most realize that you have everyone looking for her. She's not going to be moving as freely as before. And she is most likly trying to get out of the country. 
Jamual: ALISON COME ON YOU ACT LIKE SHE'S A RASHIONAL PERSON!! SHE'S NOT SHE'S AN INSAINE, MURDERS, REMORSELESS MONSTER! OH AND IF ALL THAT WASN'T BAD ENOUGH THAT RAMSEY HAS HIRED HER A LAWYER.

Jamual: Thank God she's awake and she'll be going home soon. 
Allison: BUT WHAT IF SHE HASN'T GONE HOME BEFORE CHRISTINA GETS THERE!! OH MY GOD JAMUAL THIS COULD PUT LARK'S LIFE AT STAKE!! 
Jamual: No, no I won't let anything happen to any of Frank's kids. I'll put two round the clock gards on Lark to make sure Christina can't get anywhere near her. And maybe just maybe if we are lucky the judge will laugh that lawyer right out of the courtroom, and that monster will get sent to the electric chair where she belongs! 
Alison sighs 
Alison: Well at least Lark is safe tonight. She's back at Ferncliff. I'm going to go see her in the morning. 
Jamual: Tell her I said hi and I'll come see her as soon as I can. 
Alison: I will. So any leads on Christina?

Alison: I love you more. 
They hang up. 

Frankie is upstairs in his room on the phone with Randi. 
Frankie: So am I going to get a rematch on the phoose ball game anytime soon. 
Randi laughs 
Randi: You're really glutting for punishment aren't you. 
Frankie: I prefer to think of it as showing my determination 
They both laugh 
Randi: Well then how about tomarrow after school 
Frankie: Sure hey maybe after that we can go catch a movie. 
Randi: Cool you want to go see that new horrer flick 
Frankie gets a surprised look on his face 
Frankie: You like horrer movies? 
Randi: Yeah they're cool. Do you? 
Frankie: Oh yeah they're the best! I just didn't think girls liked that sort of film. 
Randi smiles 
Randi: I'm not most girls. 
Frankie grins 
Frankie: I'm getting that idea. 
They laugh. Just then Frankie hears a bunch of comotion down stairs and what sounds like a woman laughing but it dosn't sound formilure. 
Frankie: I think something is going on downstairs. 
Randi: What do you mean? 
Frankie: Well Neil and Angel where down there cleaning up but it's been really quite for a little bit now and I just heard something I''m not sure what going on down there. then I heard a strange laugh. 
Randi's heart starts pounding hard though she isn't sure why. 
Randi: Do do you think something is wrong? 
Frankie gets up and starts for the door 
Frankie: Nah they're probubly just playing games with me since I'm not down there helping them. I'll go down and see what's up. 
Randi: Well well keep me on the phone just incase. 
Frankie is walking down the hall towards the stairs 
Frankie grins 
Frankie: You worried about me. 
Randi: Call is paranoya. I mean considering all that's happend. 
Frankie starts down the steps feeling rather macho. 
Frankie: Well don't you worry little lady I got it all under controle. 
Randi rolls her eyes. Frankie now reaches the bottem of the stairs. He gasps in horrer at the sight in front of him. 
Frankie: OH MY GOD! 
Randi jumps hearing the fear in his voice 
Randi: Frankie what is it?! What's wrong?! 
Frankie starts to move forward towards his brother and sister who have been tied up and had tape put over their mouths. 
Frankie: WHO DID THIS! 
Randi: Did what! Frankie anwser me! 
Frankie: THERE ALL TIED UP! 
Randi: Who's tied up?! 
Frankie hears footsteps behind him whirls around and sees the woman he saw on the news. 
Frankie: CHRISTINA!! 
Christina nocks Frankie over the head. Frankie falls to the ground unconscious. Randi screams 
Randi: FRANKIE!! 
The phone goes dead. 
Randi: NO NO OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!! 
Randi throws the phone down and goes running down stairs. 
Randi: DAD DAD CALL 911 CALL 911! 
Scott jumps off the couch nearly spilling his apple cider hearing is youngest scream. Scott and Serena go running over to her as she comes down the stairs. 
Scott: Sweet heart what is it what's wrong? 
Brian comes down stairs behind her 
Brian: Hey what's all the yelling about?

Randi: Dad you have to call the police now! It's a matter of life and death!

Serena: OH MY GOD NEIL IS THERE! 
Scott grabs the phone and calls 911 
Scott: Hello yes I need the police to get over to 352 north avenue drive. It's an emergancy! I have reason to believe the J killer is there and holding people hostage hurry! 
Scott slams down the phone and grabs his coat. 
Serena: I'm going with you! 
Scott: No it's to dangerous! 
Serena: THAT IS MY HUSBAND IN THERE AND I'M GOING! 
Scott sighs 
Scott: fine 
He then turns to Brian and Randi 
Scott: I want you to lock all the doors and windows and stay by the phone we'll call. 
They nod 
Randi: Dad be careful! 
Brian puts his arm around his sister. 
Brian: Don't worry Randi. I'll take care of things here Dad 
Scott smiles at his son 
Scott: Thanks Brian. 
Scott and Serena race out the door. 

Lark is running quickly down the streets her heart pounding in her ears, as her mind fills with horrific images. Courtney's voice rings in her head 
Courtney: Hurry Lark time is running out. 
Lark: I have to get to him. 
Lark rounds the corner and can see the house. She sees Frank getting out of his car and heading towards the house. 
Lark: Dad wait! 
But she is still to far away and Frank can't hear her. She runs as fast as she can. She sees him going up the steps to the font door. 
Courtney: Hurry Lark! 
Lark continues running and reaches the drive way just as Frank opens the door and enters. 
Lark: NO!!!!!! 

Chapter 21

As Lark watches Frank start to go into the house she has a flash back to her dream and sees Frank getting stabbed. 
Lark: NO!!!! 
She runs full steam ahead towards the house with Courtney's voice raging in her head 
Courtney: Hurrry Lark Hurry! 
Lark bursts through the front door. She sees Christina ontop of Frank where she has knocked him out. Christina is holding the knife in the air and is about to bring it down. Frankie, Angel, and Neil all awake now are watching in horrer. Christina completly focoused on stabbing Frank dosn't hear or see Lark. Lark lunges for Christina grabbing onto her hair and yanking backwards hard. Christina falls backwards Lark tries to pounce on top of her but Christina rolls out of the way jumps up and wraping her arms through Larks yanks her up. Lark struggles as Christina holds her from the back. Lark then suddenly remembers something she once saw on TV. She gets very still and suddenly and with out worning bends over and down rapidly causing Christina to flip over Lark's back. Christina lands on her back but quickly starts to get up. However Lark thinking fast before she is completly standing grabs her from behind wraps one arm tightly around her neck and and with her free hand Bend one of Christina's arm around and up against her back. Christina cries in pain as Lark brings her down to the floor. Christina continues to struggle but Lark holds on tight. 
Lark: No one messes with my Dad no one. 
Christina: We'll see about that. 
Lark: Excuse me? 
Lark pulls her arm up a little more and tightens her grip around Christina's neck. 
Christina caughs and winses. Just then Neil who has been struggiling to get free susceeds in get the rope loos. He unties himself quickly. 
Lark: Neil quick throw me the rope! 
Neil tosses Lark the rope as he goes to check on Frank. Lark roughly throws Christina flat on her face and before Christina can move Lark jumps on her back pushing both of her knees into Christina's back and grabs both of her arms. 
Christina: Ow! you little demond I'm going to get you. 
Lark laughs as she quckly ties Christina's hands together. 
Lark: Oh I don't think so. 
Lark: Neil how is Dad?! 
Neil: I think he's okay but he probubly has a concusion. 
Lark nods. Just then Jamual, Scott and Serena come running in. 
Serena: Neil! 
Scott: What the hell happend. 
Lark jumps off of Christina pulls her up turns to Jamual and shuves Christina towards him. 
Lark: Looking for this? 
Jamual and another cop grab hold of Christina who is yelling and thrashing around. 
Christina: YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING EVIL PIGS I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS I'LL GET YOU! 
Jamual: Get her out of here! 
Two cops drag Christina who is still screaming and cursing out the door. Jamual looks over at Lark who has now run over to Frank. 
Lark: Dad can you here me? 
Serena: Neil what happend are you alright? 
Scott is untying Frankie and Angel 
Scott: You kids okay 
Angel: Yeah I'm fine Dad are you okay? 
Frankie: Why hasn't he woken up? 
Neil: I think he has a concusion. as for what happend well I was down here cleaning up and suddenly I don't know everything went dark. When I woke up I was tied to a chair and Angel was being tied to one. We had tape over our mouths so we couldn't scream. 
Frankie: I was upstairs on the phone with Randie and heard something so I came down stairs to see what was going on. 
Scott nods 
Scott: I know Randi said she heard you scream Christina and the phone went dead so I called 911. 
Neil: Anyway we were tied up and she kept talking about how she was going to kill Dad and then maybe us depending on how she felt after killing Dad 
Neil shakes her head 
Neil: It makes me sick to think her bone marrow is in me. 
Serena puts a comforting arm around him as the EMT's work on Frank. 
Serena: Neil it's not what she's made of that makes her this way. You are a good man you know that. 
Neil tries to smile as Frank's taken to the rig 
Frankie: Is Dad going to be okay? 
Emilo nods 
Emilo: It dosn't look very bad buddy. Besides your old man's got a hard head. 
Scott: I'll drive you kids to the hospital once Jamual fineshes getting the story. 
Angel: Thanks Mr. Baldwin 
Frankie: Thanks Mr Baldwin 
Lark is pacing around praticly hyperventilating. Jamual sees this and knowing how fragil her mental state is motions her near. 
Jamual: Lark come here stand with me. 
Lark stands next to him and Jamual holds her hand. 
Jamual: Your Dad is going to be okay he's tough you know that. 
Lark tries to smile and nods 
Jamual: What are you doing here anyways I thought you were back at Ferncliff for the night. 
Angel: Thank God she wasn't. 
Jamual looks confused. Neil smiles proudly at his sister. 
Neil: Lark saved the day Jamual. She raced in here right as Christina was prepairing to stab Dad after she knocked him out. She grabed ahold of Christina and had a resiling match of sorts. Lark pinned her and then when I finelly got myself untied used that rope to tie Christina up. If it hadn't been for Lark 
Neil shakes his head 
Neil: I don't even want to think about it. 
Jamual looks at Lark very impressed. 
Jamual: Well for a cop that has been out of comision for so long you obviusly still have what it takes. 
Lark smiles 
Lark: Thank you I always enjoyed being a cop. It ment so much to know I was making a difference. 
Lark looks down sadly. 
Lark: I miss it. 
Jamual puts his arm around her. 
Jamual: Who said you couldn't get it back 
Lark looks at him suprised. 
Lark: really? 
Jamual: Well after this I have no doubt about your skills, and you were one of the best cops I ever had on my team. Look you work really hard on your theripy, and when you're theripist gives the okay I'll re hire you how does that sound. 
Lark smiles 
Lark: That would be great 
They hug 
Angel: How did you get here anyways and how did you know what was going on 
Lark blushes 
Lark: If I say you'll think I'm crazy. 
Frankie: Hey we've seen crazy and you are not it so spill. 
Lark: Well I was fast asleep and I started dreaming. I saw Dad laying dead in a coffin with a knife in him. Julie was there and she was laughing and saying how Christina would get him. Then I was standing infront of an empty prison cell. I heard Courtney's voice telling me that she'd escaped and would kill Dad. She told me I could save him if I hurried. She showed me in a dream how Neil, Angel and Frankie would be tied up and Dad would walk in. I woke up and for the first couple seconds I thought maybe It was just a dream but I swear I heard Courtney's voice telling me to hurry. 
Everyone looks at each other stunned. 
Angel: Wow way to go Mom! 
Frankie: She sent Lark to help us! 
Scott: Courtney wasn't the only one paying visits tonight. 
Everyone looks at Scott 
Jamual: What do you mean? 
Scott: I had a dream and Eve was in it. She told me that our friends were in grave danger, and that Randi was going to hear something. She said that I needed to listen to Randi and do just what she told me to. So when Randi heard Frankie scream and came running downstairs telling me to call 911 I did. 
Jamual shakes his head. 
Jamual: Sounds like all of heavan was looking over the Scanlon house tonight. 
Frankie: We needed it. 
Lark: Well what I need right now is to get to my Dad 
Frankie: Yeah me to. 
Angel: I want to be there when he wakes up. 
Neil: Jamual can we go now? 
Jamual: Yeah sure. 
Scott: Okay oh here Frankie you can use my cell phone Randi is pretty worried you should call her. 
Frankie nods 
Frankie: Thanks. 
Serena: Neil are you sure you are okay? 
Neil: I'm fine it's going to take alot more then some phyco with a rock to make a dent in this head. 
Serena: Well just the same I want to get it checked out as soon as we get to the hospital. 
They all leave. 
Randi and Brian are in the living room nurvesly waiting. 
Randi: Why hasn't anyone called us! 
Randi gets up off the couch and starts pacing. 
Randi: I mean don't you think that's a bad sign? If everything was okay they would have called us by now wouldn't they have. 
Brian: No it probubly just means they haven't had a chance to call yet. Don't worry I'm sure everything is cool 
Randi looks at her brother with absolute frustration. 
Randi: Cool?! Your sure evereything is cool!! BRIAN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!! CHRISTINA IS THERE SHE HAS PEOPLE TIED UP AND YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO HER INTENT ISN'T GOOD! OH MY GOD THEY COULD ALL BE DEAD BY NOW 
Randi starts crying. Brian sighs goes over and hugs his sister. 
Brian: Randi look isn't it possible you could have mis heard Frankie 
Randi sighs exsperatedly 
Randi: How could I have misunderstood their all tied up and him screaming Christina and the phone going dead 
Randi folds her arms and stairs at her brother. Brian sighs 
Brian: Look I'm just trying to help you calm down. 
Randi: Well it's not working! I will not calm down till I hear Frankie's voice on that phone, telling me he's okay. God I just lost my Mom do I also have to loose Frankie 
Randi starts crying. Brian sighs and hugs his sister tightly 
Brian: I know I know. 
Just then the phone rings both of them jump. 
Randi: Oh My God what if it's bad news?! 
Brian sighs 
Brian: Randi take a deep breath and try to relax please. 
Brian grabs the phone. 
Brani: Hello?! 
Frankie: Uh hi is Randi there? 
Brian: Hey Frankie about time you called my sister she's been freaking out over here. 
Randi: Frankie!! 
Randi rips the phone out of Brian's hand. 
Randi: Frankie! Are you okay?! Where are you?! what happend?! I was so worried! 
Frankie smiles rather flattered at Randi's concern. 
Frankie: Oh you don't have to worry about me Randi, I'm a Scanlon after all 
Neil looks out the window so Frankie dosn't see him snicker. Randi sencing that there is no longer danger rolls her eyes. 
Randi: Okay Scanlon so what the heck happend. 
Frankie: Well Christina tied us all up and was planning on stabbing my Dad 
Randi: OH My God is he okay? 
Frankie: Yeah he's tough like me you know built to last. 
Neil biets his lip as not to laugh, Serena, Angel and Lark are trying desperatly to hold their laughter in as Scott just keeps giving strange looks to Frankie in the review mirror. 
Randi: Okay Frankie cut the crap this is me you're talking to remember. Spill it 
Frankie sighs 
Frankie: Okay, okay, Well basicly we were all tied up and were all trying to get untied. Christina was saying all these insaine things and making all sorts of threats. Dad walked in then and. . . I was so scared Randi. 
Randi: Oh Frankie I know there is nothing worse then seeing someone you love hurt. What happend. 
No one is laughing now as they hear Frankie finelly letting his gaurd down some. 
Frankie: Well Lark who was motivated to leave ferncliff cause of a dream burst in and reseled Lark to the ground. Neil got free and Lark tied her up. Then the cops and everyone else arrived. 
Randi: Wow way to go Lark. 
Frankie: Yeah she really saved the day I don't know what I would have done if . . . 
Frankie starts crying. Neil reaches out and squezes his brothers hand. 
Frankie: I'm sorry you must think I'm such a dork crying like a baby. 
Randi: No Frankie not at all. I cried when my parants were attacked. It just means your human that's all. Where are you now 
Frankie: We're going to the hospital my Dad has a concusion. 
Randi nods 
Randi: Would you like me to come? 
Frankie: Would you? 
Randi smiles 
Randi: Consider me there. I'll see you soon okay 
Frankie: Okay Oh and Randi 
Randi: Yeah? 
Frankie: Thanks you're a sweat heart. 
Randi: My pleasure. 
They hang up. Frankie wipes his face trying to hide his tears. Neil puts his arm around him. 
Neil: You know Frankie it takes a real man to show his feelings, and further more wemon love men that do. 
Frankie: really? 
Neil nods. Frankie sighs 
Frankie: Well then I'm glad I let my gaurd down cause I really do need to see her. 
Neil smiles and looks over at Serena they exchange a knowing look. Lark whispers to Serena 
Lark: Serena don't you think he's a little old for her? 
Serena shrugs 
Serena: Right now I think it's okay. If it goes further then this we'll have to talk to them but right now there just very close friends so I think it's cool. 
Just then they pull up at the hospital and everyone piles out. 

Jamual is wraping things up at the Scanlon house when the phone rings. 
Jamual: Detective Woods here. 
Alison: Jamual! I was watching the news and they said Christina was caught at the Scanlon house. Is everyone okay? 
Jamual: Yeah Ally girl everything is okay. Frank has a concusion but he should be just fine. Oh and remember how we were concerned that Lark might need a body gaurd. 
Alison: Yeah 
Jamual smiles and shakes his head 
Jamual: She dosn't. 
Alison: What do you mean? 
Jamual: I mean that if either of them need to be protected from the other. It's Christina needing protection from Lark not the other way around. Are miss canotonic of the year hasn't forgotten one ounce of her police training or restiling skills. I walk in here and Lark has her pinned to the floor with her hands tied no prob. 
Alison: Whoa wait a sec Lark took down Christina? 
Jamual: From what Neil tells me it was a smack down. Lark ran in here just in time to. Chritina was about to stab Frank. But Lark took her down before she could. Anyway thanks to Lark everyone is fine and Christina is in custody. Though I think I will go over to the hospital and check on Frank. 
Alison shakes her head in amazment 
Alison: Wow I'm at a loss. But I guess we shouldn't be to surprised all things considered. But how did she know Christina escaped and that Frank was in danger? 
Jamual: That's the eare part babe. Lark had this dream where she saw Frank getting stabbed by Christina. I mean she saw the whole thing How Christina would go in and how she'd have the kids tied up. Even how Frank would walk in. Courtney came to her in this dream and told her she could save Frank and to hurry. So Lark came running. 
Alison: Wow that is odd. I guess it just goes to show love can over come any boundery. 
Jamual: Yeah I guess so. Anyways I told Lark once her theripist gives the okay she can have her old job back. We need more cops like her on the force. 
Alison smiles 
Alison: That is great Jamual I'm sure she was thrilled, and it's so good of you giving her a second chance. 
Jamual shrugs 
Jamual: Where would any of us be with out second chances. 
Alison: True 
Jamual: Besides she always was a great cop and I can see she still has it in her. So you want to meet me at the hospital? 
Alison: Yeah sure I'm on my way. Love ya 
Jamual: Love ya to babe. 
They hang up. 

Karen, Christopher, and Abby are getting settled at Jack's house. 
Abby: I still don't see why we had to come here. 
Abby angrily shuves some clothes in a draw and slams it. 
Karen sighs 
Karen: Abby I already told you why. Dad dosn't feel we are safe at the house with Christina on the loose, and since Julie and Christina don't know Jack this is the safest place for us to be right now. 
Abby sighs 
Abby: At a total stranger's house that Dad dosn't even like. 
Karen: Abby this isn't a total stranger this is your Dad's brother and while your Dad and Jack may not be best friends they are brothers. 
Abby: But how long do we have stay here. I mean I have a party to go to this weekend. 
Christopher who has been silently unpacking looks over at his sister with anoyence 
Christopher: God Abby you are so dumb! Don't you get it! If we stayed at home you might not go to the party cause you'd be dead! Christina is loose and she's a killer! So shut your mouth and be greatful we have a safe place to go! 
Karen puts her hand on Christophers arm to sooth him. 
Karen: Christopher. 
Abby rolls her eyes. 
Abby: And if Christina wants us bad enough she'll find us here to. 
Abby goes to unpack her bathroom supplies. Christopher sits down beside Karen on the bed. 
Christpher: Mom how long do you think it will take till Christina is caught? 
Karen sighs 
Karen: I don't know sweet heart but hopefully not long. 
Christopher nods. 
Christopher: Is Dad safe? 
Karen: Yes, hunney Christina loves your Dad she won't hurt him. 
Christopher: So maybe she wouldn't hurt us either. I mean if she loves him maybe she loves us to. 
Karen smiles and shakes her head. 
Karen: I wish Christina was that rational and logical sweet heart but I don't think she is. She probubly thinks we some how kept your Dad from being with her and Julie. 
Christopher: But we didn't Julie left Dad and took Christina with her. 
Karen: I know huney but that dosn't matter to Christina. 
Christopher looks at the ground sadly. 
Chistopher: I just hope this is all over soon. 
Karen puts her arm around Christopher 
Karen: Me to sweet heart me to. I'm going to go set my things up in the other guest room okay? 
Christpher nods Karen gives him a hug and leaves. She meets up with Jack in the hall. 
Jack: Hi Karen, are the kids getting settled okay? 
Karen nods 
Karen: There a little uneasy about all this but they'll be okay. 
Jack nods 
Jack: Yeah I'm sure they are. How about you? 
Karen sighs 
Karen: A little win blown but okay. Look Jack I wanted to thank you for letting us stay here. I mean I know you and Chris. . . 
Jack puts up his hand. 
Jack: Karen you guys are my family. No Chris isn't my best friend but he is my brother and you are his family that makes you my family to. And when It comes to family I'll do what I can. Nothing is more important then family. 
Karen smiles 
Karen: Thanks Jack 
Jack smiles 
Jack: You're welcome. So can I get and the kids anything? 
Karen smiles and shakes her head 
Karen: No, not right now thanks. I think right now what we need is a good night sleep. 
Jack nods 
Jack: Well the beds all have clean sheets on them and I put fresh towls out for everyone so get some sleep. 
Karen: Thanks Jack. I'll see you in the morning. 
Jack nods 
Jack: Good night 
Karen goes to her room and Jack goes back down stairs. He goes over to the mantel and pics up a picture then plops down on the coutch and stairs at it with a sad look on his face. He sighs heavily. 
Jack: I wish I could have protected you to. I know you've been gone for so long but I just can't seem to let go. 
He tutches the picture lightly as a tear slides down onto the picture of Lark. 

Frankie, Angel, Lark, Serena, Neil, and Scott are wiating in the ER waiting area for word on Frank. Frankie is pacing around like a caged tiger 
Frankie: What the hell is taking so damn long! 
Neil looks at Neil accusingly 
Frankie: I thought you said it was just a concusion! 
Neil: It probubly is but. . . 
Serena: Frankie some concusions are worse then others. And even if it is a minor one they still have to run a bunch of tests to make sure. Everything is going to be okay. 
Frankie: And what if it isn't okay! What if he sustained a suveer concusion! 
Serena sighs 
Serena: Then the doctors here will fix it. Frankie trust me he is in great hands he's going to be fine. 
Lark has tears in her eyes 
Lark: I should have run faster, if only I'd gotten there sooner. 
Serena turns to Lark 
Serena: No Lark no don't do that. Listen to me you did everything you could. You are a hero Lark thanks to you Frank is alive. He'd be dead right now and you know it. Besides any sooner and who knows what Christina might have been able to do to you. 
Angel: She's right Lark. Think about it the only reason you were able to grab ahold of her was because she was so focused on stabbing Dad. Had you gotten there before he did she could have tied you up along with the rest of us. 
Neil takes Larks hand 
Neil: She's right sis. You are a hero, Dad is alive because of you. And he will be okay. Dad is tough you know that. 
Lark smiles 
Lark: Yeah he is isn't he. 
Just then Brian and Randi run in. 
Randi: Frankie! 
Frankie: Randi! 
The two hug. 
Brian: Hey everybody. Frankie how is your Dad? 
Randi: What's going on? 
Scott: How did you two get here so fast? 
Brian: Jumped on our bikes and pedeled away. 
Randi: We took a short cut or to also. Frankie how is your Dad? 
Frankie: We don't know yet. I mean Neil is pretty sure it's just a concusion but he was unconscious and bleeding so I can't help but wonder if that's all it is. 
Randi squezes his hand supportivly 
Randi: Well I remember my Mom once telling me that alot of times head woonds bleed alot, but that it dosn't mean anything is seareusly wrong. Head woonds just tend to do that. It's when they don't bleed that you have to worry cause the blood could be building up inside. 
Serena: she's right Frankie. and as for him waking up well he was hit on the head pretty hard, so he might be out for awhile but trust me that dosn't mean anything is seareusly wrong. 
Frankie: I hope you're right. 
Frankie then looks at Randi 
Frankie: I'm glad you're here. 
Randi smiles and hugs her friend. Everyone exchanges a little look. Just then Alan walks over. 
Serena: Alan! 
Neil: What's going on with my Dad? 
Angel: Is he okay? 
Lark: Can we see him? 
Frankie: Is he awake 
Scott: What do you know Alan? 
Alan: You can all relax Frank is going to be just fine. 
Everyone breaths a sigh of great releif. 
Alan: He has a bad conscion and I'll want to keep him here for the next twenty four hours for observation but he's going to be just fine. He's not awake yet but he is starting to move around a bit. I'd say he'll wake up in the next few hours or so. And yes you can all go see him. He's in room 345. 
Everyone thanks Alan and races off to Frank's room. 

Gabriella and Joe have fallen asleep in each others arms on the coutch when the phone suddenly rings. Gabriella and Joe both jump starteled by the sudden noise. 
Joe: Maybe that's Frank calling me back?! 
Gabriella grabs the phone first. 
Gabriella: Hello? 
Alison: Gabriellla it's Alison 
Gabriella: Oh hi Alison what's up? 
Alison: I'm sorry to be calling so late but since Frank and Joe have patched things up I figured Joe would want to know what's going on. 
Gabriella's heart starts racing she looks at Joe with a very worried expresion 
Gabriella: What's going on? 
Alison: Well you know Christina escaped right? 
Gabriella: Yes, Joe has been trying like crazy to get ahold of Frank to warn him. 
Joe's heart starts pounding when he realizes Alison's call has to do with Frank 
Alison: Well first off let me tell you that everything is under controle okay. Christina is back in custody and. . . 
Gabriella breaths a sigh of relief 
Gabriella: Oh Christina is back in custody that's great! 
Joe sighs thinking that's the ned of it. 
Alison: Yeah but 
Gabriella: But what 
Joe looks at Gabreilla wondering what is going on. 
Alison: Christina broke into the Scanlon house and tied the kids up so that they couldn't warn Frank when he came in. Then waited to stab him again. 
Gabriella: Oh God No are the kids okay? Is Frank okay? 
Joe can't take it anymore he rips the phone out of Gabriella's hand. 
Joe: What the hell happend?! 
Alison: Frank is okay he's going to be okay. She knocked him over the head but before she could stab him Lark showed up and restled Christina to the ground then tied her up. Jamual took Christina into custody and Frank was taken to the hospital. I'm on my way there now. Frank is going to be okay though I called the hospital and he has a concusion but should be okay 
Joe: Wait Lark? How did she know? How did she get there? 
Alison: Aparently Courtney told Lark in a dream that Frank was in grave danger and Lark came running. I know I''m in aw of it to. I guess her love for Frank just made her able to do anything. 
Joe sighs with some relief. 
Joe: Okay Alison thanks for calling 
Alison: You're welcome. 
They hang up Gabriella jumps up 
Gabriella: What's going on?! 
Joe: Christina started to attack Frank but Lark aparently saved the day. I'll tell you everything later I have to get to the hospital. 
He kisses a stunned Gabriella grabs his coat and runs out the door. 

Neil, Serena, Frankie, Randi, Angel, Lark, Brian and Scott are all gathered around Frank's bed side. 
Frankie: He's so still. 
Randi squezes Frankie's hand. 
Randi: That's just cause he's asleep. He's going to be fine Frankie Alan wouldn't lie about that. 
Serena nods 
Serena: Yeah besides, he needs his rest. 
Neil nods in agreement. 
Neil: It is scary though I mean after everything that's happend. 
Angel: When he was knocked on conscious I felt like I was going to die. 
Angel starts crying. Serena hugs her. 
Serena: But you're not and either is he. You both are fine. 
Brian: Yeah I bet he'll wake up soon. 
Scott: Give the guy a break he's been through alot he's just taking a little break that's all.
Lark tries to smile 
Lark: Yeah, You you're probubly right. 
Just then Jamual and Alison run in. 
Jamual: How is he? 
Alison: Has he woken up? 
Neil: He hasn't woken up. 
Serena takes Neil's hand and squezes it then looks over at Alison and Jamual 
Serena: But he will. Alan said he's just fine, just a concusion that's all. He'll be going home in twenty four hours or so. 
Alison sighs with releif 
Alison: Oh Thank God 
Jamual: Yeah that's great. Maybe now we can put this nightmare behind us. 
Lark: Works for me just keep Christina locked up this time. 
Jamual: I plan to. I've put her in solitary. There are no windows in that cell and I have two gaurds out side of it. She's not going anywhere. 
Scott: Well she better not. 
Alison looks at Lark and goes over to her. 
Alison: Well before we discuss that any further I want to get a look at this little mirical girl. 
Lark laughs 
Lark: Very funny. 
They hug 
Alison: Do you have any idea how much you were missed? 
Lark smiles 
Lark: Believe me I missed being a part of things. I missed my life, my career, my. . . 
A sad look passes over Lark's face. 
Alison sighs 
Alison: Jack? 
Lark smiles sadly and wipes her cheeck. 
Lark: I'm sure he has someone new by now huh. 
Alison shakes her head. 
Jamual: Nope, the dud has stayed true. He loves you Lark he loves you very much. 
Alison: I think it just got to hard for him to visit ferncliff. Not that he didn't love you enough more that he loved you to much. It was really difficult to see you like that. 
Just then Joe races in 
Joe: How is he? What's going on?! 
Neil: Joe! 
Alison: I called him I figured he should know. 
Joe grabs Frank's chart and reads it. 
Serena: He hasn't woken up yet but Alan said he's going to. 
Neil: He got hit over the head pretty hard. 
Joe nods and sighs as he reads the chart. 
Joe: Well it looks like everything is pretty much under controle. 
Joe looks over at Lark 
Joe: Lark I heard what you did, thank you. 
Lark smiles 
Lark: I just did what any loving daughter would do. 
Joe: But all things considered it was pretty big. 
Lark shrugs and blushes. 
Joe looks down at Frank and takes Frank's hand in his. 
Joe: Come on Frank, we need you to wake up. Were all here waiting for you. 
They all look at him hoping to see him move but he dosn't. 
They all sigh and look at one another worriedly. Just then Frank starts to move a little 
Neil: Dad! 
Serena: Frank?! 
Frank suddenly bolts up right his eyes wide open 
Frank: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 
Frank tries to get out of bed everyone tires to restrain them. 
Joe: Frank calm down 
Frank: THE KIDS THE KIDS!! 
Frankie: Were okay Dad we're okay 
Angel: Dad were safe now! 
As Frank gets his bearings he calms down and leans back 
Frank: What happend? 
Neil: Christina broke into the house nocked Angel, Frankie and I out and tied us up then hid behind the door wiating for you. You came in and got knocked over the head by her with a rock. I don't know what would have happend if. . . 
Neil gets chocked up Serena squezes his hand. 
Angel: Lark came charging in and restled Christina to the ground and got her tied up. 
Jamual: By the time we got there all we had to do was put Christina in the patrole car. 
Lark: I had this dream that Christina killed you. Courtney then came to me in my dream and convinced me I could save you and well I came running. 
Frank looks at Lark with tears in his eyes and a look of absolute pride. He shakes his head. 
Frank: All I did was take in an abused misfit and I get this amazing, incredible, absoluty beyond belief daugher in return. I am so proud of you Lark, thank you. 
Lark is crying now to 
Lark: I couldn't loose you. 
Frank holds his arms out 
Frank: You won't ever loose me. 
They hug tightly as everyone watches with tears in there eyes. 

Lucy is sleeping peacfully in her hospital bed. Kevin is sitting in the chair next to her bed holding her hand. Lucy starts dreaming vividly. She is back at the fire house and is holding infant Christina in her arms rocking her quietly in a rocking chair. 
Lucy: Hush little baby don't say a word. 
All of the sudden a cold wind blows out the window and the lights go off when the lights come back on Julie has Christina in her arms and is laughing wickedly. Lucy reaches out to Christina but can't get her. 
Lucy: Christina!!! 
Julie starts backing out of the room as she starts moving away from Lucy blood starts appearing all over Christina Lucy screams in horrer. By the time they reach the door Christina is covered in blood the door then slams shut. Lucy runs to the door and pulls at the knob trying desprately to open it but it is jammed. suddenly the door swings open knocking Lucy to the floor. Standing before her is an adult Christina covered in blood. She points and accusing fingure at Lucy and screams 
Christina: YOU FAILED ME THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!! LOOK AT ME LOOK WHAT I'VE BECOME!!! THIS IS ALL YOUR DOING!!!! 
Lucy: NO NO I'M SORRY NO NO CHRISTINA PLEASE I'M SORRY I'M SORRY!!! 
Kevin shakes Lucy trying to get her to wake up. 
Kevin: Lucy wake up you're having a nightmare come on wake up! 
Lucy sits streight up in bed screaming covered in sweat. 
Lucy: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! 
Kevin: LUCY! 
Lucy looks at Kevin still shaking 
Lucy: Oh Doc it's all my fault it's all my fault! 
Lucy colapses into Kevin's arms sobbing. Kevin holds her tight. 
Kevin: Lucy calm down you were just dreaming. What's wrong what's all your fault? 
Lucy: My baby my preshus little baby! Kevin don't you see I failed her. I failed Christina. 
Kevin takes Lucy by the shoulders and looks at her seareusly 
Kevin: Okay now hold it right there you did no such thing. 
Lucy: No Doc I did. I didn't protect her I didn't keep her safe and now because of that my baby is a killer 
Lucy starts sobbing again. 
Kevin: LUCY NO THAT IS NOT TRUE. Now you listen to me you wouldn't let me blaime myself for things out of my controle and I'm not letting you blaime yourself. You are a wonderful mother and you did the best you could. it's not your fault that Christina got kidnapped there was nothing you could have done. 
Lucy: BUT I SHOULD HAVE I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO! I'M HER MOTHER DAMNIT! 
Kevin sighs 
Kevin: Lucy you know as well as I do you can't always keep those you love safe no matter how much you may want to. This isn't your fault you gave her a great start but things beyond your controle happend. You have to believe this isn't your fault Lucy cause it's not. 
Lucy looks at Kevin tears still running down her face. 
Lucy: I I wish I could Doc I wish I could 
She shakes her head sadly. Kevin sighs and takes her in his arms holding her tightly. 

Joe is just coming out of Franks room when Gabriella comes racing down the hall. 
Gabriella: Joe! 
Joe turns surprised to see Gabriella there. She runs to him in a panic 
Joe: Gabriella is everything okay? Are the kids okay? What are you doing here? 
Gabriella sighs 
Gabriella: We're a team remember. I know how much your brother means to you. Eve when you were pretending to hate him I know you never did. I figured you could use some support. So I had a neiber come and stay at the house with the kids so I could come here. So how is he? 
Joe smiles and shakes his head. 
Joe: God I'm lucky to have you in my life. 
Gabriella smiles 
Gabriella: Yeah well don't your for get it. 
She pushes him playfully Joe raises his hands 
Joe: No no I'm not going to make that mistake twice. Frank is goine to be fine. 
Gabriella sighs with relief 
Gabriella: Thank God the last thing those kids need is to loose another parant. 
Joe nods in agreement. 
Joe: And the last thing I need is to loose him. 
Gabriella seeing Joe's volnrubility rising hugs him to her tight. 
Gabriella: I know I know. But he's okay right? 
Joe sighs pulling back 
Joe: Yeah, I mean he's got a bad concusion but he'll be coming home in about twenty four hours or so. He is awake he's got a hell of a head ache but he's fine. 
Gabriella smiles 
Gabriella: That's great. Now what is this about Lark? 
Joe sighs 
Joe: Well aparently Mis Lark had this very vivid dream about Frank being murdered. Courtney was there and told her that Christina had escaped and showed her exactly how Frank was going to be killed. Gabby it's earie how accurate Lark's dream was. It's almost like Courtney worked through Lark to save Frank. Anyway she convinced Lark that she could save her. So Lark snuck out of the hospital and got to the house just in time. She literly walked into the house just as Frank was about to be stabed. Restled Christina to the floor and tied her up. 
Gabriella is stunned to say the least. 
Gabriella: Wow, that's that's . . . 
Joe: Incredible I know. I'm not sure I believe in ghosts or mirical's but I'm telling you after tonight I'm not so sure I don't. 
Gabriella nods 
Gabriella: I can see why. I'm impressed that's for sure. You know it's weird here Christina is Frank's own flesh and blood and she's ready to kill him, then you have Lark who isn't really Frank's but 
Joe: But acts as protective as the rest of his kids. I know I know. I guess it just goes to show when it comes to faimly blood dosn't have that much to do with it. 
Gabriella nods 
Gabriella: No it really dosn't. Family is about love and in that area Lark is deffinetly Frank's 
Joe nods in agreement. 
Gabriella: Is Frank awake? 
Joe: He was but he's sleeping again now. You want to go to the cafiteria with me and get something? 
Gabriella smiles 
Gabriella: Just like the old days when we pulled all nighters just to work together huh. Sure lets go Scanlon. 
They leave arm in arm. 

Lark and Alison are in the hall getting some coffie. 
Lark: Thanks for talking to the people at Ferncliff for me. I just couldn't go back there. Not tonight. 
Alison smiles 
Alison: Hey it's the least I could do for our resident hero. 
Lark bluesh bright red. 
Lark: I'm no hero Alison I'm just a girl who loves her Dad. 
Alison smiles and shakes her head. 
Alison: And who is as modest as her Dad I see. You know Lark you really did come through for alot of people tonight. I mean, besides your Dad. Think about it lets say she had had free reign longer then she did. How many other lives may have been cost because of it. In a way you saved the whole town. 
Lark laughs 
Lark: Well I really don't know about that! But thanks anyways it's nice to be here and not at Ferncliff. 
Alison: Well you don't belong there. Speaking of which I am going to talk to Dr. Spencer and see if he can treat you on an out patient bases. I really see no reason for you to be at Ferncliff another day. 
Lark smiles 
Lark: Thank you Alison that would be wonderful. I'd love to be able to get the life I had two years ago back. 
Alison nods and smiles knowingly 
Alison: Including Jack? 
Lark takes a deep breath 
Lark: I'm not going to lie to you Alison I love him. And yes I would love to pick up where we left off. I mean, we were so happy together. We were only weeks away from our wedding when this all went down. But. . . 
Lark gets a sad and distant look on her face. 
Alison: But what, you love him he loves you. 
Lark sighs 
Lark: Alison it has been nearly two years. I was dead to the world he was under no obligation to wait for me. I can't just expect him to drop everything and come running, cause I finelly snapped out of it. 
Alison shakes her head 
Alison: But Lark that's my point. He did wait and he does love you. 
Lark: Alison he stopped coming to see me along time ago. 
Alison sighs taking Lark's hand in hers. 
Alison: Because it was to painful for him to see you like that. He wanted to remember you the way you were. 
Lark: And he should and he should be allowed to move on. He probubly has some wonderful new person in his life. I''m not going to mess that up for him. 
Alison sighs 
Alison: Well you're as stubbern as ever I see. Lark he has no one. I''m seareus he hasn't moved on. Yes he has gone on one or two dates. But that's it. Trust me if you called him right now he'd be over joyed. 
Lark smiles 
Lark: I'd like to believe that. 
Alison: I'll prove it to you. 
Alison pulls out her cell phone and starts dailing. Lark gasps 
Lark: Alison what are you doing! 
Alison: Playing cupid now talk 
Alison shuves the phone into Lark's hands as it starts ringing. 
Lark: Alison I don't think 
Alison: Don't think talk! 
Lark is trembiling as she brings the phone to her ear. 
Jack: Hello? 
tears come to Lark's eyes hearing his voice. 
Jack: Hello? 
Alison: Say something! 
Lark: Jack? 
Jack: speaking 
Lark: Jack it's, it's me Lark 

Lark holds the phone to her ear nervously waiting for his response 
Lark: Jack are you there? 
Jack: IS THIS SOME KIND OF CRUEL JOKE! WHO THE HELL IS THIS! 
Lark: No Jack it's it's really me it's Lark. 
Jack is crying and shaking 
Jack: That's not possible it would take a miracle for that to be true! 
Jack is sobbing. Lark looks at Alison in desperation 
Alison: Give me the phone 
Lark hands Alison the phone. 
Alison: Jack? Jack listen to me it's Alison. Jack Lark woke up today. She completely came out of her cationic state. She's fine that was really her. 
Jack: But the doctors said. . . 
Alison: Well the doctors were wrong. Jack Lark is back and she's doing great. She's at GH
Jack: Oh My God you're serious! 
Alison: Yes I am 
Jack: But But why is she at GH? Is she hurt, is she sick?! 
Alison: No, no she's fine. You see she had this dream and in it Frank's late wife Courtney told her that Christina had escaped and that Frank was in grave danger. Lark broke out of Ferncliff and came running to the house. She wrestled Christina to the ground and had her all tied up by the time Jamual got there. Anyway Frank is fine he has a concussion but he'll be okay, Christina is in custody where she belongs and Lark is a hero and is standing right here infront of me. 
Jack: Oh My God it's a miracle! I'll be right there! 
Jack hangs up grabs his coat and races out the door with tears of utter joy streaming down his face. Alison turns to Lark and smiles 
Alison: He's on his way. Now lets go get you cleaned up girl. 
Lark: Oh Alison he's coming to see me he's really coming?! 
Alison nods with tears in her eyes 
Alison: Yes to see you and love you forever. 
They hug and head to the ladies room. 
Chris is reading his in his hospital room unable to sleep after Christina's chilling visit. Chris puts the book down and looks out the window sadly 
Chris: Oh Christina, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I believed in your mother so blindly, I'm sorry I didn't protect you, I'm sorry I didn't try to find you. You had so much potential. 
Chris shakes his head sadly and sighs. 
Chris: I guess I should turn on the news. The least I can to is keep tabs on you huh. 
Chris turns on the TV. 
Reporter: If you're just turning in accused cereal killer Christina Ramsey has been captured and is back in custody 
Chris breaths a sigh of relief. 
Reporter: She was re captured tonight in the home of one of her early victim's Mr. Frank Scanlon. Who interestingly enough is her biological father. 
Chris gasps 
Chris: Oh God please say she hasn't taken another victim please. 
Reporter: Fortchunitly for Mr. Scanlon his daughter Lark Scanlon showed up and successfully wrestled Ms. Ramsey to the ground and tied her up. 
Chris: What! Lark's awake? She captured Christina? 
Chris shakes his head 
Chris: Amazing. 
Reporter: While Mr. Scanlon does have a concussion doctors have assured us that he is fine and will probably be going home in a day or so. That's all for now Port Charles can sleep well tonight knowing the J killer is off the streets. 
Chris shuts off the TV and shakes his head. 
Chris: This is unreal Lark is awake and took down Christina? I wonder if Jack knows. I should probably call the police station and check on Christina she must be livid. 
He shakes his head as he picks up the phone 
Chris: I never thought I'd be grateful to have Christina in jail. 
Officer: Hello PCPD 
Chris: Yes this is Chris Ramsey I need to speak with Christina Ramsey 
Officer: I'm sorry Mr. Ramsey but she is in solitary confinement and is not allowed any phone calls. 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Okay, look I'm the closest thing she has to family as far as she's concerned could you at least tell me if she's okay I heard she was wrestled to the ground 
The officer scoffs 
Officer: Well she's a hell of a lot better then her victim's. 
Chris grits his teeth angrily 
Chris: Look I know she's hurt and killed many but she is a humane being, she wasn't born this way and I happen to be her father could you just tell me if she's okay. 
Officer sighs 
Officer: Yeah she's fine she has a couple of bruises but she's okay. 
Chris: Can you tell her that I love her please 
Officer: You are one messed up guy you know that. 
Chris: WHAT I, AM IS A FATHER WHO IS TRYING VERY HARD TO HELP HIS CHILD! I AM NOT TRYING TO GET HER RELEASED I AM NOT CONDONING WHAT SHE DID I AM JUST TRYING TO BE THERE FOR HER! NOW LAST TIME I CHECKED BEING A GOOD PARENT WASN'T A CRIME! 
Officer relents 
Officer: I'll right all right keep your pants on I'll tell her! 
Chris: Thank you! 
Chris hangs up angrily 
Chris: I swear the people in this town never change! Do they even know the meaning of standing by someone! It doesn't mean you stand by them as long as they do good things it means you stand by them period! 
Chris throws his book across the room and sighs then checks the clock 
Chris: It's to late to call over to Jack's place. I'm sure they are all asleep. I'll call first thing in the morning. 
Chris settles back down into bed and tries to go to sleep. 

Frankie and Randi are sitting in the cafeteria having a bite to eat. 
Frankie: Thanks for hanging out here. 
Randi smiles 
Randi: You're welcome, I thought you might want some company and I care about you. 
Frankie smiles and takes Randi's hand 
Frankie: I care about you to. 
Frankie sighs 
Frankie: But you know we do have a big age difference between us. I mean it may not be that big but based on where we are right now in are growing up it is big 
Randi: Well that all depends on what you have in mind. I mean Frankie I see no reason why we can't spend time together. You know just date. 
Randi turns bright red realizing what she has just said. 
Randi: I mean, not that we are dating or anything. I mean you probably have plenty of girlfriends. 
Frankie: No not really, but I would like to have one maybe one in you? 
Frankie smiles at her Randi lights up 
Randi: Really? 
Frankie: Really, I mean there is nothing that says we can't date like you said, and furthermore 
Frankie takes her hands in his 
Frankie: I really like you 
Randie: I really like you to. 
They lean across the table and kiss. 

Frank senses someone in the room and opens his eyes. He slowly looks around and sees Joe fast asleep in a chair next to his bed. 
Frank smiles with tears in his eyes 
Frank: Man I missed you 
Joe stirs and opens his eyes. He sees Frank is awake and gets up to check on him. 
Joe: Hey how are you feeling? 
Frank: My head is throbbing but other then that just fine. 
Joe nods 
Joe: It should get better pretty quickly we have you on some painkillers. 
Frank nods 
Frank: You know you don't have to watch over me. 
Joe: I want to. You know we were apart so long Frank, and now we are finely getting close again. I really don't know what I'd do if 
Joe gets choked up. Frank takes Joe's hand 
Frank: Joe I'm here okay. You're not going to get rid of me that easily 
Joe: Well I'm going to hold you to that. 
Frank smiles 
Frank: Pretty amazing about Lark huh. 
Joe: To say the least. It's amazing to think she's the same kid you took in all those years ago and when you consider the situation she was in I mean it really is impressive. 
Frank: That's my girl. 
Joe: She really has proven herself a Scanlon. So uh if you don't mind me asking, I mean Christina is well 
Frank sighs 
Frank: You know Joe, she hates me and It's not like I don't have a full plate already. I mean there is Lark who is recovering from a break down, Angel and Frankie who are right in the middle of adolescents and have just lost their mother, Neil who while he is an adult still needs a father, my grand daughter, Jamual and Alison who totally count on me, my nephew and niece 
Frank smiles 
Frank: And you. Christina deserves help but I don't think I'm the one to help her. 
Joe smiles 
Joe: Glad to see you've smartened up. 
Frank: yeah well I've got to many reasons not to be selfish. I mean, in a perfect world I'd be part of her life but this world isn't perfect far from it. 
Joe nods 
Joe: I'm sorry man 
Frank: Don't be. 
Frank shakes his head 
Frank: You know it's odd but as much as Christina is mine she doesn't feel like it, and with Lark back I really can't say I'm missing any kids 
Joe nods 
Joe: Yeah I know what you mean. Gabby and I were commenting on how much your daughter Lark truly is. 
Frank smiles 
Frank: Well I certainly couldn't be prouder. So you going to head home soon? 
Joe shakes his head 
Joe: Nope, I'm staying right here looking after you. 
Frank smiles 
Frank: You don't have to 
Joe: I want to now get some rest. 
Frank smiles with tears in his eyes. 
Frank: Thanks 
Joe smiles 
Joe: My pleasure 
They hug Frank tries to go back to sleep as Joe sits at his side. 

Alison and Lark are sitting in the waiting area. Alison has just finished doing Lark's hair and make up. Lark is nervously waiting for Jack 
Lark: Are you sure I look okay? I mean this out fit isn't exactly flattering it's just some sweats. 
Alison smiles 
Alison: Lark Jack knows you just woke up he doesn't expect you to be ready for a night on the town. 
Lark: Yeah but he hasn't seen me in so long. I mean what if he takes one look at me and says why did I bother waiting? 
Alison shakes her head. 
Alison: Lark that will never happen. He saw you at your worst when you were lying in that bed unresponsive back when we had a feeding tube in you. But he never stopped loving you so if that didn't you in sweats certainly isn't. 
Lark sighs 
Lark: I still can't believe he waited. I mean, it's not like anyone new forsure I was coming to, and we aren't married yet. 
Alison: He loves you Lark you are his soulmate. His heart simply wouldn't let him. Besides something tells me you would have waited for him. 
Lark smiles and nods 
Lark: Yeah I would've, I would've waited till the end of time. 
Alison takes Lark's hand in hers. 
Alison: Well he feels the same. He would wait forever 
Alison smiles 
Alison: But now he doesn't have to. You're awake so now the two of you can pick up where you left off and live happily ever after. 
Lark smiles 
Lark: That sounds nice. 
Just then Jack comes racing over to the nurses station 
Jack: I'm looking for Lark Scanlon. 
Lark and Alison stand up as the nurse points him towards them. Jack turns and sees Lark. Tears fill Jack and Larks eyes as their hearts race. 
Lark: Oh My God 
Jack: Lark?! 
Lark: Jack is that really you?! 
Jack: Oh My God! 
They run to each other and jump into one another's arms holding on to each other as if there very lives depend on it. Both are crying as they hug and kiss. 
Jack: Oh My God I can't believe you've come back to me. It's a Miracle! 
Lark: I'm here Jack I'm here. I I can't believe you waited. I love you so much. 
Jack: How could I not, I have dreamed of this day for so long. Oh Lark I've missed you so much 
Lark: I missed you to. 
Jack: Let me look at you. 
He steps back and stairs in aw at Lark. Jack shakes his head 
Jack: More beautiful then ever. 
Lark blushes. 
Lark: I can't believe how handsome you are. You are even more gorgeous then I remembered you. 
They embrace once more both crying. 
Lark: Oh Jack you have no idea how long I've hoped for this day. 
Jack: I have bearly been living just going through the days wishing and praying you'd come back to me. Lark when you went into your cationic state a part of me died. Tonight when I found out you were back that part of me came alive again. 
Lark: Oh Jack when I woke up all I kept thinking was how much I'd love to be back in your arms. 
Jack: Well you are now and I'm never going to let you go ever! 
They stand back looking at each other once more tears still streaming down their faces. 
Jack: So your completely all right now? 
Lark smiles and nods 
Lark: I I think so 
Alison pipes in 
Alison: She'll still need therapy but I'm working on having it be on an out patient bases. But yes she is just fine. 
Jack shakes his head looks up to heaven 
Jack: Thank You God Thank you with all my heart. 
He pulls Lark in close they hug one another so happy to be back in each others arms. Alison watches with tears in her eyes. 

It is now morning Karen is down in the kitchen making breakfast when her cell phone rings. 
Karen: Hello? 
Chris: Hello Beautiful 
Karen smiles 
Karen: Hey there cutie. So how is my favorite patient doing this morning. 
Chris sore, restless, ready to go home. 
Karen smiles 
Karen: Soon my love very soon. Speaking of being ready to go home the kids would like to know just when that might happen for us. 
Chris: Well I have some good news on that front. Christina was caught last night. She's back in custody at the pcpd. 
Karen: What! Oh that's great! What a relief! I mean, I know you love her 
Chris: But she needs to be locked up right now, believe me I know that. Now that she's locked up I can get back to working on getting her sent to a good institution where she can get some help. 
Karen: So where did they find her? 
Chris: She broke into the Scanlon house and was attempting to kill Frank 
Karen: WHAT! 
Chris: He's okay though, he has a concussion but he'll be fine. They'll probably release him later today. 
Karen: Oh thank God! Did Frank over take her? What happened? 
Chris: Well that's the amazing part. Apparently Lark woke up yesterday. 
Karen: Oh My God Chris that wonderful! What a miracle! The Scanlon's must be walking on air right now, wait till I tell Jack! 
Chris: I know it's pretty amazing huh, I mean we'd all pretty much given up hope on that one. 
Karen: But what does that have to do with Christina? 
Chris: Well apparently Lark sensed there was something terribly wrong came to the house and wrestled Christina to the ground and tied her up. 
Karen: Wow! 
Chris: I know, talk about good timing. 
Karen: Well sounds like she still has that spunk in her. 
Chris: Yeah sure does. 
Karen: So how is Christina? Mad as hell I suppose 
Chris: Oh I'm sure she is. I called last night but they have her in solitary confinement and she's not allowed to have phone calls but the cop told me she was okay. 
Karen: That's good. So, now what? You think Jackson will still represent her? 
Chris: Yeah I called him right when I woke up this morning. He was a little shaken by it all but said that he was still willing to help. It won't be easy though. I mean, alot of people would rather see her get the chair then sent to a mental hospital. 
Karen nods 
Karen: Well that's good that he's willing to help. And I wouldn't worry I mean she clearly is crazy so getting her to a mental hospital shouldn't be all that hard. 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Alot of people are going to be angry at me Karen. You are probably going to get alot of flack. 
Karen smiles 
Karen: Chris alot of people are always angry at you 
They both laugh 
Karen: Besides the vow was for better or worse right? 
Chris smiles 
Chris: That's right 
Karen: Well then I'm in this for the long hall 
Chris shakes his head 
Chris: Gosh your amazing. I love you so much Karen. 
Karen: I love you to Chris. Now I'm going to go get the kids ready, tell Jack we're leaving and ofcourse about Lark and I'll be there to see you later today. 
Chris: Sounds like a plan. Love you 
Karen: Love you to. 
They hang up. Karen happily goes to get the kids. 

Jack, Lark, Alison and Jamual are sitting in the cafeteria having breakfast. 
Jack has his arm protectivly around Lark and Lark is feeding him strawberry's. Jamual smiles and shakes his head. 
Jamual: Man, is this a great sight to see or what. 
Alison: Yeah I know, it certainly wasn't one I could have predicted. 
Jack smiles and looks at them. 
Jack: But it's one I will be thankful for for the rest of my life 
He turns and kisses Lark. Lark smiles 
Lark: Me to. You know yesterday when I woke up I figured sure I'd get my family back but never my career and certainly never Jack. 
Lark gets choked up 
Lark: But now 
she shakes her head 
Jack hugs her 
Jack: You got me babe and a whole lot more. 
Jamual: That's right as soon as Dr. Spencer gives the okay I want you back on the force. 
Lark smiles as her and Jack cuddle in the booth 
Lark: I can hardly wait. 
Alison smiles and wipes away a tear. 
Alison: I love happy endings. 
Jamual puts his arm around Alison 
Jamual: And they don't get much happier then this. 
Jack: Amen to that. 
Jack and Lark kiss. 
Jack: But speaking of happy endings 
Jack smiles and reaches into his pocket 
Jack: I have something for you close your eyes. 
Lark: Jack you didn't have to get me anything 
Jack: Well actually what I have for you is already yours now close your eyes. 
Lark closes her eyes as Jack slips Lark's engagement ring back on her finger 
Jack: Now open them 
Lark opens her eyes and looks down at her finger She gasps and looks at Jack in surprise 
Lark: You kept it! 
Jack: Ofcourse I did. I couldn't give up on you Lark I just couldn't. So what do you say you still want to be my wife? 
Lark is crying 
Lark: Yes! Yes, ofcourse I still do! 
They hug happily. Jamual lifts his glass of orange juice. 
Jamual: To true love may it always concur all! 
Alison: To true love 
Jack: To true love 
Lark: To true love 
They all clink glasses. Lark sighs happily 
Lark: Well now all we have to do is get my Dad home and we can start planning again. 
Jack: Sounds good to me 
Alison: He's going home later today right? 
Lark nods 
Lark: Yeah sometime before dinner probably. Alan would have probably kept him another night but since we have Joe around it's not necessary. 
They all nod 
Lark: I am just so grateful that he's all right. I don't know what I would have done if 
Lark gets choked up Jack squeezes her close 
Jack: Hey babe don't even go there okay. He's okay he's just fine. 
Jamual: Thanks to you Lark you really saved his life 
Alison nods 
Alison: Yeah you are a hero. 
Lark smiles and blushes. 
Lark: I just did what I had to do. 
Lark sighs 
Lark: You know it's funny when you think about it. Had Frank not taken me in so much would be different. I mean, Jack you and I would never have met, and I most certainly wouldn't be a cop. I think in all likely hood one of three things would have happened. I'd be dead, be in jail, or be a homeless drug user. Frank really did make my life possible. 
Jamual nods 
Jamual: Frank has done that for a lot of people. Heck I'd be in prison maybe dead by now had it not been for him. 
Alison: Yeah because of him you are a detective, we are married and have children. And he gave me a lot to. He treated me like a person not like some rich brat. He listened to me and he cared. 
Jack: Frank really is a savor for a lot of people 
They all nod in agreement. 
Lark: You think Christina will ever realize that. 
Jamual shakes his head sadly 
Jamual: Probably not, but hey what counts is that he's okay and he has a lot of love around him 
They all nod in agreement. 

Kevin, Hope, and Faith are in Lucy's room helping her get ready to go home. 
Kevin: So you all set? 
Lucy nods 
Lucy: Yep, and this time I don't plan on coming back 
Hope: We we're going to hold you to that. 
Faith: It's going to be so nice to have you home Mom 
Faith hugs Lucy 
Lucy smiles brushing the hair out of Faith's eyes 
Lucy: It's going to be nice to be home. But first and I don't want any arguments from anyone I need to stop by the pcpd 
Kevin: Lucy No! 
Hope: What are you thinking?! 
Faith: Please Mom don't?! 
Lucy sighs exasperatedly 
Lucy: I said no arguments. Now listen to me and listen good. Yes, she is a killer, yes she is crazy, but she is also my daughter and will remain my daughter for as long as I live. Now it's not as if I'm meeting her someplace dangerous or as if she is armed. The face is she is in jail with numerous numbers of guards around her to protect me. 
Faith: But can't you just let is go she doesn't want to see you! 
Lucy: No I can't Faith, no more then I could let it go when your father had his breakdown, no more then I could let it go if God forbid something was to happen to you or your sisters. Now look you have a choice you can either go with me or I'll take myself but one way or another I am going to see her today! 
Everyone looks at Lucy seeing the determination in her face they know better then to argue. 
Kevin: Lucy I just want you to be safe I don't know what I'd do if.. 
Kevin gets choked up 
Lucy smiles 
Lucy: Kevin nothing is going to happen to me. I am going to be fine. I'm just going to talk to her it's not like they are going to put me in a cell with her. Please understand she is still my daughter and I have to see her. 
Kevin sighs 
Kevin: I do I do 
He hugs her 
Hope: But Dad! 
Kevin: Hope this is something that is very important to your mother. In order to make piece with this, in order to move on she needs to see her it's as simple as that. 
Faith: Well after how she tricked us so she could go looking for you I guess we should no better then to try and stop her 
Lucy: Yes you should. Now look I don't expect you to understand or to like this but I am your mother and I do expect you to respect my wishes 
Hope and Faith nod 
Hope: Well then lets get this over with 
Faith: Yeah the sooner we get their the sooner we can go home. 
Kevin: Okay you ready? 
Lucy nods 
Lucy: No time like the present. 
Kevin and Lucy kiss 
Hope: Oh get a room 
Everyone laughs and they leave. 

Jackson Montgomery is show to the visiting room by a guard. 
Guard: You really that nuts lawyer? 
Jackson: Yes and she is not a nut she is very troubled young woman that needs extensive psychiatric help. 
Guard: More like needs the electric chair if you ask me 
Jackson: And just what would that solve? It won't bring any of the victim's back and as I've said this is a very sick young woman. She isn't evil mearly sick 
Guard laughs 
Guard: Yeah well you sure could have fooled me 
Jackson sighs getting rather annoyed with this guard 
Jackson: Could you please get my client now. 
Guard shrugs 
Guard: Your funeral. 
Guard leaves Jackson sits down and sighs heavily as he gets out his pen and paper. 
Soon the guard returns with Christina 
Guard: I'll be right out side if you need anything 
Christina yanks her arm away from the guard 
Christina: What I need is to Finnish my plan of revenge you looser! 
Guard shakes his head and leaves. Christina glares at Jackson 
Christina: Who the hell are you and what do you want! 
Jackson smiles 
Jackson: Hello Christina my name is Jackson Montgomery, I'm a friend of your Dad's. 
Christina softens a little 
Christina: Oh goody my Daddy sent you to help me get out of here and kill the rest of those awful people didn't he! 
Christina smiles happily Jackson thinks quickly 
Jackson: Well sort of. I am here to help you but it will take time. 
Christina: Well hurry it up then! So how are we breaking out? 
Jackson: Well, well we aren't going to break out 
Christina: YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO HELP ME! 
Jackson jumps seeing the rage in her face 
Jackson: I am I am but we aren't breaking out. I am a lawyer Christina 
Christina laughs 
Christina: Well I don't need on I've done nothing wrong. I've simply punished those who have hurt my Mom. I don't know why on earth my Daddy would send a lawyer. 
Jackson realizes with this just how messed up Christina really is 
Jackson: Well Christina the problem is most people don't see it that way, and your Daddy wants me to make sure they don't punish you in the same way you punished the people that hurt your Mom. 
Christina stairs at Jackson letting what he's said sink in then stairs at him coldly 
Christina: I can take care of myself very nicely thankyou! I will kill anyone who tries to hurt me I don't need you! So get the hell out! 
Jackson: Wouldn't you like someone to help you Christina? 
Christina: Unless you mean helping me kill the worthless people of this town no I don't! 
Jackson sighs almost ready to walk out when he suddenly has an idea 
Jackson: Christina I'm sure your Mommy would want you to listen to your Dad and do as he says don't you think 
Christina considers this 
Christina: Well Mommy always did say that Daddy was very smart and that if I ever got to meet him I should respect him. 
Jackson nods 
Jackson: Well your Daddy wants me to help you very much, he's very worried about you. And I think he'd be very angry and upset if you didn't let him help you through me. 
Christina looks suddenly scared 
Christina: I don't want Daddy to be angry with me! NO NO I DON'T WANT TO GET HIT!!! 
Christina starts crying 
Jackson is shocked then decides to pursue this 
Jackson: Did you used to get hit? 
Christina is now sitting in a chair rocking back and forth. 
Christina: Mommy said I was a bad girl. I I messed up a lot. I didn't mean to I really didn't but but I did bad things and and I had to bleed. 
Jackson tries to hide his shock 
Jackson: How did she make you bleed Christina? 
Christina: With stake knives or she'd put my hands on the stove while it was on or she'd slam my head against the walls. She said I was very bad. So so I have to kill to show her I'm good! 
Jackson starts to feel bad for her he sits down beside her 
Jackson: What kind of bad things would you do? 
Christina: I I would forget and and talk to people in the neighborhood, or or I'd tell people my full name, or or I wouldn't want to throw darts at pictures of people. I was very bad. 
Jackson: Christina you didn't deserve that. 
Christina looks angry 
Christina: Yes I did! I was bad very bad! I have to make it up to her! I have to kill them all! 
Christina jumps up Jackson stands up 
Jackson: Christina you need to let your Dad help you through me okay 
Christina: Okay I don't want to get hit I'll be good. What what do you want me to do? 
Jackson: Well someone is going to come talk to you later this after noon. He's a doctor his name is Dr. Pryet. You need to listen to him and answer all his questions. If you do that it will make your Daddy very happy and help you leave this place 
Christina: Okay. 
Jackson: Well then I'll be back to see you later good-bye Christina 
Christina: Bye, you won't tell my Daddy I yelled at you right? 
Christina looks so scared Jackson wants to hug her but doesn't. 
Jackson smiles 
Jackson: No ofcourse not. 
Christina sighs 
Christina: Thank You. 
Jackson nods knocks on the door Guard opens it and he leaves, Christina is taken back to her cell. 

Kevin, Lucy, Faith and Hope are waiting to see Christina at the pcpd. 
Kevin: Are you sure I can't talk you out of this? 
Lucy: Positive 
Hope: But what if something happens 
Lucy: Nothing is going to happen. 
Faith: Mom, please re think this 
Lucy sighs sighs 
Lucy: Honey there is nothing to re think I need to see her.
Guard: I can show you to the visiting room now if you like? 
Hope: You're going in her alone! 
Lucy sighs 
Lucy: There will be a guard right out side and she's not armed. Lets go 
Kevin: Lucy please be careful 
Lucy smiles 
Lucy: Don't worry Doc 
Lucy nods to the guard and they head towards the visiting. Lucy walks in unsure of what to expect. Christina is sitting down. When she sees Lucy her face becomes full of rage 
Lucy: Hi Christina I know you don't remember me but I''m your Mom 
Christina stands up banging the chair to the floor and goes charging at her. 
Christina: YOU EVIL BABY SNATCHER YOU TOOK ME FROM MY PARENTS!!! 
Christina shoves Lucy up against the wall and grips her neck tightly Lucy struggles to breath as Christina holds tight 
Christina: I AM NOT YOUR DAUGHTER MY PARENTS ARE JULIE AND CHRIS RAMSEY GOT THAT YOU SICK, EVIL, BABY SNATCHING HUSSY!! I HATE YOU YOU HURT MY MOTHER! 
Christina spits in her face Lucy has tears streaming down her face. 
Christina: AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO DIE FOR THE PAIN YOU CAUSED MY MOM!!! 
Lucy stairs at Christina in fear hoping the guard out side has heard. 

Chapter 23
Lucy gasps for air as Christina tightens her grip around Lucy's neck. 
Christina: YOU ARE A WORTHLESS PIECE OF TRASH AND DESERVE TO ROT IN HELL FOR WHAT YOU DID!! YOU STOLE ME! YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO TAKE MY FROM MY PARENTS I HATE YOU! DO YOU GOT THAT I HATE YOU AND I WANT YOU TO DIE!!! 
Lucy: But (gasp) 
Christina: NO BUTS!! YOU WERE A FOOL TO COME HERE TODAY! I WILL NEVER THINK OF YOU AS ANYTHING BUT WHAT YOU ARE WHICH IS A COLD HEARTED, BABY SNATCHING, EVIL SNAKE!! 
Lucy has tears running down her face 
Christina: AND NOW IT'S YOUR TIME TO DIE!! MY MOTHER'S PAIN WILL BE AVENGED!! 
With That Christina whacks Lucy's head against the wall hard. The guard thinking someone was knocking on the door opens it. 
Guard: What the hell! 
Christina still focused on killing Lucy holds tight squeezing hard. The guard screams for help. Soon the guard joined by three others pulls Christina off of Lucy. 
Christina: WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!! I WAS JUST ABOUT TO KILL THAT GOD AWFUL CREATURE!! 
Lucy is rubbing her neck and gasping for air as the guards pull a still screaming Christina out of the room and hall her back to her cell. 
Guard: You okay Mrs. Collins? 
Lucy: I I 
Lucy shakes her head still crying. Just then Kevin, Hope and Faith come charging in. 
Kevin: Lucy! Are you okay?! They said she attacked you! 
Hope: I new this was a mistake why didn't you listen to us! 
Faith: Mom are you okay? What happened? 
Lucy looks at Kevin and her girls with tears in her eyes. 
Lucy: Oh doc I I 
Lucy starts sobbing Kevin holds her close rubbing her back. 
Kevin: I'm here Lucy I'm here 
Faith: Should we take her back to the hospital and get her checked out? 
Lucy shakes her head no 
Kevin: I think the best place for your Mom right now is home. Come on lets get out of here. 
They slowly walk a trembling and crying Lucy out. 
Frank is laying in bed reading a book when there is a knock at the door. 
Frank: Come in 
Jack, Lark, Alison and Jamual come in 
Frank smiles putting down his book 
Frank: Well isn't this a nice surprise. How are all of you doing? 
Jamual walks over 
Jamual: Hey Man I think that's what we're supposed to be asking you. 
Alison: Yeah Frank how are you feeling? 
They both hug Frank 
Frank: Just fine 
Frank smiles at Lark 
Frank: Thanks to my amazing little girl over there. 
Lark blushes 
Lark: Hey Dad 
They hug. 
Jack: Hi 
Frank looks over at Jack and then at Lark's happy face then back at Jack 
Frank: I was wondering when you were going to show up. 
Jack smiles 
Jack: Soon as I heard Lark was back I came running. 
Frank nods 
Frank: Well, I'm glad you know my daughter loves you very much. 
Lark blushes 
Jack: And I love her with all my heart. Infact if you approve Lark and I would like to get married as soon as possible. 
Frank looks at Lark's face full of joy. 
Frank: Lark is Jack responsible for that smile on your face? 
Lark laughs 
Lark: Yeah pretty much 
Frank nods 
Frank: Well you know all I've ever wanted for you is for you to be happy. 
Frank looks at Jack 
Frank: I approve under one condition 
Jack and Lark look at each other not sure what he's going to say 
Jack: Uh what is that? 
Frank smiles 
Frank: That you keep that smile on her face. 
Jack smiles 
Jack: I'll do my best. 
Frank: You better she's my little girl and I won't let her have any less then pure happiness. 
Lark smiles 
Lark: He gives me that Dad he does. 
Jack: You have my word Mr. Scanlon I will keep her smiling. 
Frank: Good 
Frank smiles 
Frank: And since we are going to be family you can call me Dad or if you're more comfortable with Frank that's fine to. But none of this Mr. Scanlon okay. 
Jack smiles 
Jack: Okay Dad. 
Frank and Jack shake hands. 
Frank: So you kids set a date yet? 
Jack: Well if we can pull everything together we'd like to have it next month 
Lark: Yeah, it would be nice. 
Frank nods 
Frank: Well I think if we all work together we can pull it off. It won't be the biggest but it will be a wedding. 
Lark smiles hugging Jack 
Lark: As long as I'm marrying this wonderful man it's fine by me. 
Jack smiles pulling her close. 
Jack: All that matter is us pledging our love to one another. 
Lark nods they kiss tenderly 
Jamual: Well they got the kiss down 
Everyone laughs. 

Chris is sleeping when he suddenly feels someone touch his shoulder. He instinctively jumps 
Chris: What the! 
Karen: Well hello to you to 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Sorry I guess this Christina thing just has me a little jumpy. Hi honey 
They hug 
Karen: A little huh 
Christopher: Dad are we really safe now? 
Chris nods 
Chris: Buddy 
Chris hugs his son 
Chris: Yeah, we are all safe now. Christina is locked up and she isn't going to hurt anyone else. 
Abby: Why are you helping her? 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Abby I know this is really tough for you to understand but Christina is like a daughter to me. I love her as much as I love you and Christopher. That doesn't mean I like or approve of anything she's done cause I don't. I'm very upset about it, but she is still my daughter and if there is one thing I believe in it's that you stand by those you love no matter what. You know loyalty isn't something that you give and take you either give it or you don't. And the day Christina was born I gave it. You know how I feel about bailing on people just cause they do something wrong. 
Abby nods 
Abby: Yeah, I know you don't think it's right to make love, loyalty, or friendship conditional. If you let someone in you let them in. 
Chris: Especially when it's your child. Parents should always love their kids unconditionally, and be there for them no matter what. 
Christopher: So you're going to try and get her released? 
Chris: No. no that is definitely not what I'm going to do. That wouldn't be good for anyone especially her. Christina is sick. Her mind is all messed up because of Julie and she needs help. You see Christina doesn't know right from wrong and she has no concept that what she's done is bad. She needs help and that's what I'm getting her. I'm making sure she goes some place where she can be helped. 
Christopher: Like Ferncliff? 
Chris: exactly 
Abby: Dad, can I ask you something? 
Chris: Sure sweet heart 
Abby: Do you still love Julie? 
Chris takes a deep breath. 
Chris: No Abby I don't. 
Karen looks at Chris surprised by this change. 
Chris: I used to, I used to very much. I loved her when we were married and for many years after she left. But not anymore. 
Abby: But what about unconditional loyalty? 
Chris: Abby that is where children are concerned. And while it does apply in most other cases when a child of your own has been hurt, well it tends to harden your heart towards who ever hurt them pretty quickly. 
Christopher: You blame Julie for what happened to Christina? 
Chris nods 
Chris: Christina was not born evil or mentally ill. No one is. This is a direct result of Julie and I can't stand by that. 
Karen notices Chris is on the verge of tears. 
Karen: Uh Christopher, Abby can you both go wait out in the hall I want to talk to your father alone for a minute. 
The kids nod and walk out into the hall. Karen sits down on Chris's bed side and takes his hand in hers. 
Karen: Okay what happened? 
Chris takes a deep breath trying to keep his emotions in check. 
Chris: Mr. Montgomery called a little while ago he had his first meeting with Christina. 
Karen: Oh I take it didn't go well? 
Chris: Well she did agree to let him help her in the end. 
Karen: Chris that's great! Why aren't you happy? 
Chris: Because she did it out of fear. 
Karen looks confused 
Chris: Karen Julie abused Christina. She wasn't going to let Jackson help but when Jackson told her I would be upset if she didn't let him and that Julie want her to listen to me she became hysterical. My; own daughter thought I was going to hurt her! 
Chris takes a deep breath trying not to loose it. 
Karen: Oh My God! I can't believe this! I mean I new Julie was crazy but 
Chris: But you thought she'd love Christina and be good to her? 
Chris snorts 
Chris: Yeah well looks like we were both wrong. Apparently Julie cut her with knives, put her hands on hot burners, and did God only knows what else to her! She's doing all this to make it up to Julie that she was bad! 
Chris unable to control his emotions any longer begins sobbing 
Chris: My baby my little girl. 
Karen wraps Chris in her arms and hugs him 
Karen: I'm sorry I'm so sorry is is there anything I can do? 
Chris sighs pulling himself together. 
Chris: Don't hate Christina 
Karen smiles and stroke his face with her hand 
Karen: I could never hate my step daughter. 
Chris smiles and shakes his head 
Karen: God you're amazing. 
Karen: So you really don't love Julie anymore? 
Chris shakes his head and half laughs 
Chris: You know it's strange she used me, manipulated me, and left me but none of that changed my heart. The years seemed to only strengthen the love I felt for her. But but ever since I realized it was Christina 
Chris shakes his head 
Chris: It's like I don't know like someone opened a drain in my heart and all that love is just slipping away. 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Then Jackson called this morning and told me about what Julie did to Christina and 
Chris shakes his head 
Chris: And what ever love was left just gushed out. Now I feel every bit of anger, hate, and disgust that the rest of this town has towards Julie. Mixed in with my own bitterness and resentment. 
Chris shakes his head 
Chris: Strange huh 
Karen shakes her head 
Karen: No not at all. Chris I know you and I know that there is nothing in this world as important to you as your kids. I know you would die for any of them and would kill before you'd let any of them be hurt. So the fact that this was the last straw, the fact that what Julie did to Christina and what Christina has become because of her has destroyed your love for Julie is not a surprise at all. I'd be surprised if you still did after all of this. 
Chris nods 
Chris: I wish to God I could go back intime. I'd do so much differently 
Karen: Such as? 
Chris thinks 
Chris: I wouldn't have kept Julie's pregnancy a secret. The night she told me about that baby I would go and tell the doctors, Frank, and the cops. I wouldn't get to be part of her life but it would be worth it. I mean, heck I didn't get to be as is and at least I'd have the piece of mind knowing Christina wouldn't become a killer. I wouldn't have helped Julie in anyway. I would have made sure she never got near that precious baby. 
Chris sighs angrily 
Chris: Damnit! What the hell was I thinking! Why on earth did I believe in her? What made me think she'd be a good mother? Why did I let her near that baby! 
Chris starts crying 
Karen: Chris it's not your fault. You loved her and love makes you blind to the truth it just does. 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Yeah I guess. It's pointless to say what if anyone what's done is done I can't go back. 
Karen nods 
Karen: All you can do is try and get her help. Who knows maybe the doctors can undo some of the damage. 
Chris: I guess, but lets face it her life is over. I mean come on she's a killer she won't ever be free again. 
Karen nods 
Karen: But she will always have you and you can ask our kids that's a pretty great thing. 
Chris: Yeah, I guess. I just hope she lets me in not cause she is afraid of me but because she loves me. 
Karen smiles 
Karen: It may take awhile but I can see that happening eventchually. 
Chris: I hope so. 
Karen: So now what? 
Chris: Well a phyciotrist from the state is evaluating her this after noon. Hopefully he'll deem her insane and then it's only a matter of Jackson getting her sent to Ferncliff and not some second rate place. 
Karen nods 
Karen: Well I'm sure the first part won't be a problem 
Chris nods and laughs sarcastically 
Chris: Yeah she won't have a problem proving she is crazy will she. That's my girl. 
Karen: Chris 
Chris: I know I know. Yeah the first part won't be hard the second is what I'm worried about. I mean the people in this town have so much hate where she's concerned and I'm not saying it's not justified but. . . 
He shakes his head 
Karen: You think they may send her to a second rate place in anger? 
Chris: It's a possibility. That's why I wanted the best and Montgomery is considered one of the best. Hopefully this time tomorrow he will have secured a place for her at Ferncliff. 
Karen nods 
Karen: I'll say a prayer that he does. 
Chris: Thanks. So how are you doing? Have you talked to Jack? 
Karen: No he wasn't at home this morning so I left him a note but when we got here I saw his truck. I'm guessing Jamual or somebody called him. 
Chris nods 
Chris: Makes sense. Have you seen Lark? 
Karen: No but I'm going to later. It is so amazing 
Chris: It really is isn't it. 
Karen: Really gives you faith in the power of love 
Chris: Yeah 
Karen: As for me and the kids we're good just glad to be out of hiding. 
Chris: I'm glad you're out of hiding to. But I'll be even happier when I can get out of here. 
Karen smiles 
Karen: Well then I am about to make your day. Alan stopped me in the hall this morning and told me I can take you home tomorrow. 
Chris: That's great! Oh I can't wait to get out of here! 
Karen nods 
Karen: Me neither my bed has been awfully cold you know 
She leans in and kisses him softly. 
Chris: Well I'll have to work on changing that tomorrow night now won't I. 
They kiss tenderly 
Karen: sounds like a plan to me. 
Chris: Karen you know when 
Karen smiles knowingly 
Karen: When you get released you'll want to go see Christina. I know not a problem. 
Chris shakes his head and smiles 
Chris: I may not always be right but one thing I know I am right about is that you are an angel. 
They kiss tenderly 

Scott is pacing around the fire house as he talks to district attorney Georgie Scorpio. 
Scott: Look we are talking about a woman who has killed three people tried to kill 4 others, kidnaped and attacked people left and right! 
Goergie: Mr. Baldwin I am well aware of Christina Ramsey's wrap sheet. 
Scott: Then how the hell is it that she isn't going to the electric chair! 
Goergie sighs rolling her eyes. 
Goeorgie: Mr. Baldwin as a practicing attorney I am sure you are aware of the term do process. Now the fact is that Ms. Ramsey may not be sane enough to stand trial. If this is the case the court has no choice but to send her to a mental hospital. 
Scott: DO YOU NOT GET THAT MY WIFE IS DEAD! 
Goergie: Mr. Baldwin I assure you I have no sympathy for Ms. Ramsey. However I cannot break the law for the mere sake of revenge. I am sorn to uphold the law. 
Scott: YEAH WELL RIGHT NOW THE LAW IS BEING A BIG PAIN IN MY ASS!! THIS CREATURE DESERVES THE DEATH PENALTY AND YOU KNOW IT! 
Goergie is on the verge of loosing her temper. 
Goergie: Mr. Baldwin killing Christina would not bring your wife or any of the other victim's back and would be meaningless if she is unable to grasp what is happening. I assure you the court will not be permitting her to ever be free again. 
Scott: Well that's a relief! 
Goergie: Mr. Baldwin this department is competent I assure you. We have cleaned this place up years ago. And I for one have no intention of messing it up now. 
Scott sighs 
Scott: I'm sorry look I know you're a great district attorney Goergie it's just I don't like the idea of her getting sent to some hospital and not paying for her crimes. 
Georgie: I understand that but if she has no comprehension of her crimes then sitting in a cell will not be of any use. And I assure you being in a mental hospital is no picnic. 
Scott sighs 
Scott: I know I know I just keep thinking about Julie and. .. 
Goergie: Well I assure you the hospital, and the courts have become far stricter and more vigilant since that disaster. 
Scott nods 
Scott: Look just tell me you're going to do all you can to not let her off easy. 
Goergie: I have no intention of doing anything of the kind. Remember Kevin and Lucy are dear friends of my family. 
Scott: Yeah yeah I know. Thanks bye 
Goergie: Bye 
They hang up 
Scott picks up a picture of Eve and stairs at it longingly. 
Scott: I miss you so much, and I'm not going to let her get away with taking you from me I won't. 
Scott stairs at the picture with determination. 

Kevin, Hope and Faith help a still somewhat shaky Lucy into the house. 
Kevin: Why don't you just sit down right here on the couch and I'll get you some hot tea 
Hope: You want me to go find Siggy the third? 
Faith: How about if I go drawl you a hot bubble bath. 
Lucy: No no please you don't have to fuss over me okay. I'm all right really. 
Kevin: Are you sure? 
Kevin looks at her worriedly 
Lucy strokes his face. 
Lucy: Yeah, I'm I'm sure. Look I am not an invilid okay. Yes, today was awful but I'm still standing. 
Kevin: I'm sorry you had to go through that. 
Lucy: I wanted to and I'm glad I did. 
Faith: Why? 
Lucy: Because I needed to see it with my own eyes. I needed to hear the hate, see her anger I never would have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes. I do still love her and I probably always will and her words definitely hurt but 
Lucy shakes her head
Kevin: She's still your daughter 
Lucy nods 
Lucy: Yeah and she always will be 
Hope: You can't be serious! 
Lucy: I am serious. Hope just because someone does and says horrible hateful terrible things doesn't mean they are nothing but evil. I know Christina I know her like I know you. I was with her for her first year of life and I know without a doubt that she's not evil. 
Faith: I'm sure that was true then Mom but come on now days well I mean. 
Lucy: Now days she is very sick, very confused and very much in need of help. 
Kevin: Lucy please don't tell me you're thinking of going to see her again I'm not sure I can take that. 
Lucy: Oh doc I know this is hard, I know this is hard on all of you. It's hard on me to but I can't turn away I just can't. But I'll make you a deal at least for the time being I will not be alone with her for even a second okay? 
Kevin sighs 
Kevin: Well, as long as you are not alone with her I guess we have no reason to complain. 
Hope: But why? Why put yourself through that? I mean Mom I think she's made it pretty clear that she hates you 
Lucy: Oh I'm sure she thinks she does. I'm sure her mind is full of all sorts of hate, anger, and misguided thoughts thanks to Lucy. But her heart, her soul, the child I loved she's in there. I know it as sure as I know myself. 
Faith and Hope look at each other confused 
Faith: I don't understand 
Lucy: Faith she isn't being led by her heart or her soul right now. I'm not even sure her own mind is in control. I looked in her eyes today and what I saw is a very disturbed young woman with no idea what is truly going on. Julie has poisoned her. She has recked havoc with her mind and done her best to destroy her heart as well as her soul. But I'm not convinced those things are gone. And I intend to be here when they re emerge. 
Hope: You think she can get better? 
Lucy: Yep 
Kevin: Lucy 
Lucy: Doc I know she can never be free again but she can be my little girl again. She can get better I just know it. I have faith that my little girl is lost somewhere in that messed up woman I saw today and with the right help she must might re emerge. 
Faith: Even if she does who says she'll want you in her life? I don't mean to be mean but 
Lucy: Well you're right she might not but she might. And if she does I'm going to be right there ready willing and able. I know it will take time but I've waited this long for her to come back into my life I can wait a little longer. 
Kevin: Lucy it could be more like a lot longer. She's so far gone. 
Lucy: Doc I have faith and my faith tells me to hold on. Now if you will excuse me I'm going to go take a bubble bath. 
Lucy gets up and goes upstairs. Everyone looks at one another and sighs not knowing what to do or say. 

Joe and Gabriella are driving along. Joe is clearly apprehensive about their destination. Gabriella reaches out and gently rests her hand on his arm 
Gabriella: Are you sure you want to do this? 
Joe shakes his head 
Joe: No but Lucky thought it was an important step for me to take. 
Gabriella: But why? I mean your mother is gone there is no chance of reconciliation. 
Joe: Yeah I know, but Lucky seemed to think me going to her grave and talking to her would help. That saying all the things that I've been holding in all this time could get rid of some of the anger you know. I mean, if I'm ever going to truly put the past in the past I have to put the anger at her away for good. I have to get some closure. And this this is the only way to do that. 
Gabriella: Yeah that makes sense. I just wonder if it's to soon. I worry about you pushing yourself. 
Joe smiles at Gabriella lovingly. 
Joe: Gabby I love you so much and your concern and love has been one of the things that has saved me time and time again. But it has been more then long enough. I have been carrying around all this pain and anger for a long time. I need to let it go. I need to get on with my life and put this in the past. And if this helps me accomplish that then this is what I have to do. Besides she's dead it's not like she can yell at me or slam the door in my face. 
Gabriella nods 
Gabriella: Well you know I'm behind you one hundred percent. 
Joe looks over at Gabriella and smiles as they pull into the cemetery parking lot. 
Joe: And I thank God for that every night. 
They park and he leans over and kisses her tenderly 
Gabriella: Do you want me to go with you? 
Joe: No. no thanks I need to do this alone. 
Gabriella nods 
Gabriella: Okay then I'll wait right here. Good luck 
Joe smiles 
Joe: Thanks 
They kiss Joe gets out of the car and goes over to his mothers grave. As he walks ever step seems to echo for miles and his body tenses as if he expects to be hit at any minute. His feet feel like led but he keeps going determined to put the past to rest. Joe stands before his mothers grave a place he has never been. He takes a deep breath slowly collecting his thoughts. 
Joe: Hi Mom it's me you know the son you turned on. I wonder if you know how wrong you were. I wonder if you know what a success I am. I'm still a doctor infact I'm very well respected at GH. I haven't used drugs since the day I was caught and I am attending AA meetings to get my drinking under control. Gabriella and I are still together and more inlove then ever. My kids are great I love them and they love me. Frank and I are close again, no thanks to you, and I'm getting help from Dr. Spencer for my temper. I'm not a looser Mom I never was. I made mistakes like every other humane being but none worse than yours or Franks. I know you thought if you disowned me I'd loose everything. That I'd be so over come with pain that I'd loose everything. I'd loose my work, my family, my friends, maybe even my sanity. Well, I didn't. I must admit I came close. Thanks to you Frank and I were far apart for a long time, and I almost lost Gabby but I didn't. I haven't lost a thing. Frank and I are brothers again, Gabby is back in my arms and we're never going to let each other go this time. My job is on solid ground again and instead of loosing my grip I'm gaining it stronger then ever. I guess you're suprised, shocked, maybe even a little disappointed. You know Frank always thought I was your favorite. I don't know maybe there was a time when I was. But I'll tell you being the favorite is not good at all when it means if you mess up as we all do that you get thrown away like someone's kitchen trash. But I guess I should thank you really. Your coldness and rejection made me stronger it taught me to stand on my own. But now I'm learning to lean on others. Lean on people that truly love me. Like Frank and Gabby, like my kids. They love me and except me no matter what and idea you could never grasp. I guess you think my anger at you proves something. Well, it doesn't. You see that is why I'm here. I'm letting it go Mom. All the anger, all the hurt, all the pain, all the rejection all of it. I'm letting all that garbage you gave me go and with it I'm letting you go. You won't be hurting me or my life anylonger. I was a good son and in the end you know that's true. You know I loved you and did my best by you, you know that. I'm done feeling bad that I wasn't perfect. I'm done wondering what I did that was so much worse then Franks short comings. Cause you know what the fact is no one is perfect and no one should be expected to be, and my short comings are no worse then Franks. The fact is the only one of us who has something to feel bad about is you. You are the one who failed me, you are the one who failed both Frank and me. You let us be raised with an abusive, mean, alcoholic father. You let him nearly kill us. You are the one that turned your back on your own child. You are the one that turned brother against brother. The fact is mother your short comings were far worse then mine and Frank's put together. But this isn't a contest. This isn't about who is right or who is wrong. This is about moving on. And that is what I intend to do. I am done being angry Mom I am done letting you control my life. I forgive you Mom. I forgive you for all the pain all the suffering all the grief. I forgive you for the rejection the anger, the loss. But most of all I forgive you for being humane just like me. I love you and I wish you could love me but since you never could I'll put that wish away. I'm not angry anymore it's over with I forgive you and I'm moving forward. Good-bye. 
Joe takes a deep breath and turns to go. As he walks away he feels a great relief wash over him and his step seems lighter. When he nears the car Gabriella gets out and runs to him. 
Gabriella: Are you okay? 
Joe smiles and pulls her close 
Joe: Never better. 
They kiss. 
Joe: Come on lets get out of here. 
They leave without looking back. 

Dr. Pryett is shown into the visiting room. 
Guard: I'll go get Ms. Ramsey. I should warn you Doctor she's as evil as the come. She tried to strangle her last visitor. 
The doctor raises his eye brow 
Dr. Pryett: Well then I'll be sure to be careful. 
The guard shrugs and goes to get Christina. Soon he returns with Christina 
Christina: What the hell do you want! I've been bothered enough today! 
Dr. Pryett: I'm sorry to disturb you Ms. Ramsey but as I'm sure your lawyer explained I need to speak with you. I'm doctor Pryett. 
Christina registers this and rolls her eyes. 
Christina: Oh yeah your the guy that my Dad and that idiot lawyer want me to talk to. Let me make this real simple for you okay. I have done nothing wrong! I have simply been trying to punish the people in this hell whole of a town that hurt my parents and I! They are evil and must die! Any idiot can see that! If anything the people that need help are the moron who are trying to protect them and keep me locked up! They are absolutely crazy if they think these people deserve to live! 
Dr. Pryett looks at her in complete shock. 
Dr. Pryett: I see you clearly have some definite views on right and wrong 
Christina laughs 
Christina: Yeah what my Mom says is right and everyone else is wrong. I had that fact beaten into my head enough! 
Dr. Pryett: I see and your mother told you that killing people you don't like is right. 
Christina narrows her eyes and glares at him 
Christina: If that was the lesson you'd already be dead. 
Dr. Pryett tries to hide his fear and shivers 
Dr. Pryett: I see then what was the lesson? 
Christina sighs angrily 
Christina: That those who hurt my Mother, or my Daddy are evil and must be killed and as her daughter it is my duty to do so. Believe me when you're forced to wright that one hundred times a day you learn it real quick. 
Dr. Pryett stairs at her not sure what to say but quickly collects his thoughts. 
Dr. Pryett: What else did she tell you about right and wrong? 
Christina shrugs 
Christina: Not much really. It's wrong to tell people who you are, or to talk to people other than those Mom has approved. It's wrong to trust people, it's wrong to be nice or give second chances. Basically it's wrong to make Mommy unhappy. When she died she told me I had wronged so many times the only way I could make her believe I deserved to live was to kill those who had hurt her. 
Christina shrugs 
Christina: So I did I think she is proud of me now. I just wish I could have finished the job. You know made sure she'd be proud of me. 
Christina looks down at the floor so Dr. Pryett won't see her tears but he does. Christina regains her composure and looks up angry again 
Christina: What the hell business is it of yours anyway! 
Dr. Pryett: Well, it helps me understand you and that will help me help you. 
Christina glares at him. 
Christina: Yeah well I got a little news flash for you I don't need your help! 
Dr. Pryett: Just answer a few questions for me and I'll be on my way Ms. Ramsey 
Christina rolls her eyes 
Christina: Fine! 
Dr. Pryett: Do you know what day it is? 
Christina laughs 
Christina: Yeah mothers day it's always mothers day. 
Dr. Pryett nods absorbing all of this. 
Dr. Pryett: If it's snowing outside would you be hot or cold. 
Christina: I'd be what ever my Mom said I was. 
Dr. Pryett: I see just one more and I'll be on my way 
Christina: Wahoo 
Dr. Pryett: Do you know why you're here? 
Christina: Cause this town is full of evil people that don't want me to rid it of that evil. 
Dr. Pryett nods 
Dr. Pryett: I see well I need to be going now. 
Christina: Don't let the door hit you on your way out. 
Dr. Pryett knocks on the door and leaves quickly, Christina is taken back to her cell. Dr. Pryett quickly dials a number. 
Goergie: District attorney Scorpio speaking. 
Dr. Pryett: Yes Ms. Scorpio this is Dr. Pryett. 
Goergie: Oh yes Dr. Pryett I've been expecting your call. How did your evaluation of Ms. Ramsey go? 
Dr. Pryett: It was very enlightening. 
Goergie: I see so can she stand trial? 
Dr. Pryett: No, no Ms. Ramsey can't stand trial. She is in need of serious mental help and judging by what she told me 
Dr. Pryett shakes his head 
Dr. Pryett: She deserves the court to be sympathetic and place her somewhere where she can be truly helped. 

Randi is coming out of her last period science class when some popular 8th graders come up to her. 
Carly: Well, well if it isn't little miss tomboy herself. 
Randi tries to ignore her and keeps walking. 
Debbie: I heard her parents named her Randi cause they couldn't tell if she was a boy or a girl. 
the girls laugh as Randi walks quicker but the popular girls stay at her heels. 
Mandy: Well I heard that she really is a boy but she was such an ugly boy that her parents make her act like a girl. 
The girls laugh as tears start pouring from Randi's eyes and she breaks into a run. The other girls run after her. Once outside the girls continue to pick on her as she makes a bee line for the side walk. 
Carly: So what do you think she has is that book bag? 
Debbie: Probably books on how to pass as a girl. 
They laugh 
Mandy: Oh it couldn't be that I mean look at her she's hardly passing! 
They all laugh Debbie grabs her book bag from her 
Randi: Give that back to me now! 
Debbie: Make me! 
Debbie throws it to Carly Randi runs over to Carly 
Carly tosses it to Mandy 
Mandy: Careful girls the boy girl is getting angry they laugh 
Randi just starts sobbing as the girls throw her book bag around it is just now that Frankie who has been observing this as he walks across the lawn reaches Randi. 
Frankie: Is there a problem here? 
Carly Debbie and Mandy who all have crushes on Frankie stop dead in there tracks when they see him there and looking at them with a rather upset look on his face. Carly holding the book bag in the air slowly lowers it batting her eye lashes 
Carly: Why hello there Frankie what brings you buy? 
Frankie walks over to her with a very pissed look Randi watches wondering what he's up to 
Frankie: Why don't you answer my question first 
Frankie yanks the bag out of Carly's hand then walks back over to Randi and hands it to her 
Frankie: You okay? 
Randi: Uh yeah I mean now I am thanks. 
Frankie smiles and puts his arm around her 
Frankie: Anytime 
The girls look at each other wondering what is going on. Debbie: We're sorry Frankie we didn't know she was your sister. 
Frankie looks at her seriously 
Frankie: She's not my sister 
Frankie puts a protective arm around Randi 
Frankie: She's my girlfriend. 
The girls stare at them in shock 
Mandy: Your your 
Frankie: Girlfriend Mandy girlfriend. Let me help you that means we date and hang out and care about each other very much as well as look out for each other. I hope you understand that I know concepts like that are hard for hair heads like you three to understand 
Frankie turns to Randi 
Frankie: You ready to go sweet heart? 
Randi nods 
they turn and with Frankie's arm still protectively around Randi they walk away leaving the three stunned girls starring after them speechless. 
Randi: Frankie I I don't know what to say 
Frankie shrugs 
Frankie: You don't have to say anything you're my girl and I'm not going to let anyone pick on you end of story. 
Randi smiles savoring the words. 
Frankie: So what were they picking on you about? 
Randi: They think I look and act like a boy 
Frankie laughs 
Frankie: Randi you may not be a cheerleader type like them but you are most certainly a girl. You are buetiful, sweet, charming, smart, talented, sensitive, funny an absolute great girl. They are just jealous 
RandiL Of what I'm hardly a beauty queen 
Frankie: You have what they never will have. You have substance. See eventchully those looks of there's will fade but what you got never will fade. You have real beauty Randi and that is priceless. 
Frankie turns to her and kisses her tenderly 

It is now the next morning and Chris is impatiently waiting to go home when Karen arrives. 
Karen: Well I see someone is raring to go this morning. 
She goes over and hugs Chris tightly he kisses her. 
Chris: Well this place isn't exactly fun but I also need to get over to the PCPD 
Karen: I know you're really eager to see Christina. So how did her meeting with Dr. Pryett go yesterday. 
Chris shakes his head 
Chris: Well my girl failed her sanity test with flying colors. 
Karen: Well, well that's good though I mean you don't have to worry about her getting the death penalty or anything. 
Chris nods 
Chris: True, it' s still kind of hard though. I mean, here I am in a situation where I have to be happy my daughter is out of her mind. 
Karen nods sympathetically 
Karen: I know I know. I remember how hard it was when we found out Julie was the killer. 
Chris nods 
Chris: God I wish I had never gone near her. 
Karen: Chris don't there is no point. 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Yeah I guess you're right. Anyway the good news is that the court has agreed with Mr. Montgomery and are sending her to Ferncliff today for an indefinite amount of time. 
Karen: Chris that's great I mean that's what we've been hoping for. 
Chris nods 
Chris: Yeah, I just want to make sure I get there before she leaves. You know show my support. 
Karen nods 
Karen: I understand. Well, the papers are all filled out so if you are ready we can go now 
Chris: Sounds like a plan. 
They kiss and head out. 

Kevin rolls over in his bed expecting to find Lucy but when he reaches out there is nothing there. He opens his eyes and looks around. Lucy is getting dressed. Kevin glances at the clock and sees it's still early. 
Kevin: Lucy what are you doing up so early? I thought after yesterday you'd want to sleep in for sure. 
Lucy turns to him he sees the pain on her face. 
Lucy: Oh Doc I I don't know I just feel I have to be there. 
Kevin gets up and takes Lucy's hands in his. 
Kevin: Be where sweet heart. 
Lucy: Scott called he was pretty angry. I wish he wasn't I mean I understand why he is but it would be nice if he cared to. 
Lucy sighs 
Lucy: But he doesn't. 
Kevin: Cared about what Lucy? What's going on? 
Lucy: The judge has decided that based on Christina's mental state she needs to be sent to a mental hospital and her lawyer has gotten her assigned to Ferncliff. They are transporting her there this morning. 
Kevin sighs catching on 
Kevin: And you want to be at the jail when she leaves. 
Lucy: I can't help it doc no matter how hard I try I can't stop thinking of her as my little girl. I feel I need to be there you know? I need to show her my love and my support. show her I'm not going anywhere. 
Kevin nods 
Kevin: Come sit with me. 
Kevin leads her to the bed and they sit next to each other. 
Kevin: I understand why you want to go, and your love and loyalty towards her is just one of the many reasons I love you however 
Lucy: You think it's a mistake 
Kevin: Not supporting her or loving her but going to see her right now. Lucy she is so programmed by Julie and so full of hate and anger she won't see your visit as love or support all it will do is feed her anger. She is just going to lash out at you again today if you go. She's going to try and hurt you or at the very least scream at you. You'll then get hurt again and she'll just look meaner then ever to everyone else. 
Lucy has tears in her eyes 
Lucy: So what do you want me to do just forget her? Just write her off? 
Kevin shakes his head 
Kevin: No ofcourse not. I just think that right now pushing yourself on her isn't the best idea. I think you should wait till she's at ferncliff a few months. Wait till she's gotten settled and had a chance to get some real therapy. Then maybe you'll have a chance at bonding with her but right now Lucy 
Kevin shakes his head. Lucy sighs 
Lucy: Well I certainly don't want to make the situation worse. Oh Doc I just don't want her to be alone. 
Kevin squeezes Lucy's hands 
Kevin: I know Lucy I know, but she's not. Chris is her father in her eyes and my guess is he will be there. 
Lucy shakes her head 
Lucy: I never thought I'd have to be grateful to Chris Ramsey. 
Kevin: I know, but at least she has someone. 
Lucy: Yeah, just not me 
Kevin wraps her in his arms and hugs her tight 
Kevin: Someday Lucy someday 

Chris and Karen are waiting in the police station when Jamual comes up to them. 
Jamual: So Ramsey I guess you're real happy that nut isn't getting sent to prison huh. 
Chris takes a deep breath Karen squeezes Chris's hand. 
Chris: I'm happy she can no longer hurt anyone and is finely going to get the help she needs. 
Jamual: Yeah well all I know is it's a hell of a lot better than she deserves. 
Karen sighs 
Karen: Jamual with all due respect it's not your decision to make. Christina isn't evil she is mentally ill and like any ill person deserves to get help. Besides it's not as if prison would bring the victims back and you know it. My husband loves Christina as his own and believe me if he could go back in time and kept her from becoming what she is he would have. But he can't so he's doing the next best thing. He's getting her help to try and undo at least some of the damage that has been done. 
Chris: Jamual she isn't ever going to be free again everyone is safe. All I'm doing is trying to get through to my little girl. 
Jamual sighs 
Jamual: Well excuse me if I have trouble seeing past what she's done. 
Karen: I'm sure most people do. We're just thankful the court didn't. 
Chris smiles at Karen and squeezes her hand so grateful for her constant support 
Jamual: So the guard said you wanted to see her before she is transported? 
Chris nods 
Jamual: Fine she's in the visiting room waiting you can go on in. 
Chris: Thankyou. 
Karen: I'll be waiting out here. 
Chris nods 
Chris: Thanks 
They kiss. Chris goes into the visiting room. Christina sees Chris and jumps up. 
Christina: Daddy! I'm so glad you're here! That awful Lucy person came yesterday! I was so scared she was going to kidnap me again! Then these stupid people here stopped me from killing her. Can you believe that! I swear Daddy the people in this town are just dumb. 
Chris nods not sure how to respond 
Chris: I suppose some are. 
Christina: Oh well you're here now 
Christina smiles 
Christina: I answered all the questions that doctor and lawyer you sent here asked me. I was a good girl right? 
Chris smiles 
Chris: Yes I'm very glad you did that. 
Christina smiles. Chris catches the relief in her eyes and can't help but feel an ache in his heart. 
Chris: Christina you know I love you very much right? 
Christina nods 
Christina: Mommy said so. 
Chris: Well I want you to know that I do. Not because Mommy said so but because you just know it. 
Christina looks at him confused. 
Christina: Mommy said never think for myself That's why she wrote up my whole plan for me before she died. All I had to do was fallow it. 
Chris gasps trying not to show his shock. Then gets an idea 
Chris: Well I have a new plan for you to fallow 
Christina lights up 
Christina: Okay who am I killing now? 
Chris: Oh I don't want you to kill anyone. The plan is you're going to move to a very special place not far out of Port Charles and are going to learn to think for yourself. 
Christina shakes her head 
Christina: Mommy won't like that 
Chris moves closer to her keeping eye contact. 
Chris: Mommy is gone Christina she can't hurt you ever again. It's just me now just me Daddy and I will never hurt you. All I want to do is love you and help you. And you do need help Christina you said you trusted me so trust that I'm right when I say you need help. 
Christina considers this 
Christina: Are you coming with me? 
Chris nods 
Chris: I'm going with you to your new place to get you settled in. I won't be staying but I will come to see you a lot I promise. 
Christina looks uncertain. Chris then shows her the bag he is holding 
Chris: I have a present for you. 
he hands her the bag. Christina reaches in and pulls out a big stuffed bear. 
Chris: Now whenever you get lonely or scared you can just hold onto that bear really tight. 
Christina smiles and hugs the bear like a little kid 
Christina: Thankyou Daddy 
Chris smiles 
Chris: You're welcome. Well, are you ready to go? 
Christina nods. Chris knocks on the door. The guard comes in 
Chris: We're ready. 
He nods and escorts Christina who is still clutching the bear out to the waiting van. Karen walks over to Chris who looks like he may cry 
Karen: How did it go? 
Chris: This is all Julie's fault 
Karen sighs and hugs him 
Karen: I know I know. 
Chris: Okay come on lets go. I promised to go with her so we need to be right behind the van. 
Karen nods and they walk out hand in hand. 

It has been a month Christina has been at Ferncliff working with therapists, Chris has been going to see her several times a week. There hasn't been much change but Chris with Karen's help and support has remained hopeful. It is now the night before Lark and Jack's wedding. Alison and Jamual have been feverishly helping them get their wedding together. Alison is exhausted and has fallen asleep on the couch when there is a knock at the door. Alison jumps then looks at the clock 
Alison: It's midnight! Who in the world could be there? 
Alison goes to the door and peeks out the window. Alison gasps in disbelief as she stairs not completely believing her own eyes. 
Alison: No, no it can't be. That's impossible! He went back to heaven decades ago. 
Alison looks again 
Alison: But it does look just like him and if he could come down once why not again? 
Her heart starts pounding excitedly and she quickly opens the door. Standing there before her smiling away is Rafe 
Alison: Rafe? 
Rafe holds his arms open 
Rafe: The one and only 
Alison fly's into his arms with tears of utter joy streaming down her face. 
Alison: Rafe! 
The old friends hug tightly then stand back looking at each other. 
Rafe: Wow you are a sight for sore eyes. I've missed you. 
Alison smiles 
Alison: I've missed you to Rafe. 
Rafe: Can I come in? 
Alison: Oh ofcourse, ofcourse! 
Alison shows him in 
Alison: Please make yourself at home. Can I get you anything? 
Rafe smiles at her 
Rafe: Do you have any angel food cake 
They both crack up. 
Alison: I'll check. 
Alison returns with angel food cake and coffee. 
The old friends sit and talk 
Alison: You know I never thought I'd see you again. I mean I figured maybe when I'm old and gray and die I would but you know not before that. 
Rafe nods 
Rafe: I really didn't think I would see you either but as it turns out I get to 
Rafe smiles 
Alison: I'm glad. So what have you been doing? 
Rafe shrugs 
Rafe: Saving the world from evil. Spreading love and happiness. Making miracles. 
Alison nods 
Alison: Oh same old same old huh 
They both laugh 
Rafe: Something like that. 
Alison: So to what do I owe the blessing of your company tonight. 
Rafe: Well, I have been keeping tabs on you. 
Alison: Oh a little angel spying I see. 
Rafe smiles 
Rafe: Sort of, anyway I wanted to come and tell you what a great job you've done. 
Alison looks confused 
Rafe: I was almost sent down here to help everyone find the evil that was recking havoc on the town, and help Lark and Jack find their way back to each other. But you fixed it for me. 
Alison: What do you mean? 
Rafe: You guided Jamual to the answer and then you helped Lark reach out to Jack. You worked a miracle. 
Alison blushes 
Alison: I was just doing what needed to be done 
Rafe: well it's a sign of absolute angel potential if you ask me. 
Alison smiles 
Alison: That's so sweet. I can't believe you came all this way just to tell me that. 
Rafe: Well it was a good excuse to get to see you again. 
Alison blushes 
Alison: Well I'm certainly glad you took the opportunity. 
Rafe: Me to 
The old friends hug. 
Alison: So how long are you here for? 
Rafe: Not long unfortchunitly I have to leave very soon. I have a couple more stops to make here, and then I'm on my way to my next mission. There is a which on the loose in a little town called Harmony. 
Alison: Oh well good luck though I know you don't need it. 
Alison smiles 
Rafe: Thanks and I always need good luck from you. 
Alison: Will I see you again? 
Rafe shrugs 
Rafe: I sure hope so. 
Rafe gets up Alison stands 
Alison: Thankyou so much for coming you made my night 
Rafe: Thankyou so much for making my job easier. 
Alison smiles 
Alison: Anytime partner. 
They hug Rafe then turns and disappears. Alison stands there smiling and wipes a tear from her cheek, then taking a deep breath she turns to clean up their snack. But stops dead in her tracks when she sees that the plates, cups and saucers are gone. 
Alison: What on earth? 
A smile spreads across her face as she realizes what must have happened. 
Alison: Thanks for cleaning up Rafe 
Alison turns out the lights and heads off to bed. 
Chris and Karen are sleeping soundly in one anothers arms as the first rays of day light begin to stream into their bedroom. Suddenly the phone rings breaking the peaceful silence. Karen groans and rolls over. 
Karen: What time is it? 
Chris clears his throat as he reaches for the phone. 
Chris: To early. Hello? 
Dr. Keen: Hello is Chris Ramsey there? 
Chris: Speaking 
Dr. Keen: This is Dr. Keen one of the head theripists here at Ferncliff. 
Chris's eyes fly open and he bolts up right 
Chris: Is everything alright? Christina hasn't done anything has she? Is she okay? Do I need to come over? 
Karen sits up and takes Chris's hand supportivly not knowing what is going on. 
Dr. Keen: No, no your daughter hasn't done anything wrong. However she did have a very intense session yesturday, remained almost completly silent for the rest of the day, and sometime after midnight started begging us to call you. We promised we would as soon as morning came. She is very agetated and wants you to come right away. 
Chris: I'm on my way! 
Chris hangs up and jumps out of bed dressing quickly. 
Karen: Chris what is it? What's going on? 
Chris: I'm not sure. Dr. Keen said that Christina was acting strangly quite after her session yesturday and then started demanding someone call me late last night. I need to get over there. 
Karen nods 
Karen: Ofcourse, listen I'll take your tux with me and you can change into it at the church. 
Chris smiles and leans across the bed to kiss her. 
Chris: Thank you. 
Karen: I'd offer to come with you but 
Chris: But you have to get yourself and the kids ready for the wedding and if Christina is agetated then now is not the right time for you to come it's okay. 
Karen: So besides having your tux at the church is there anything I can do? 
Chris: Tell Jack I won't be able to pick him up but that I promise to be at the church in plenty of time. 
Karen nods 
Karen: Sure thing. I think it is so nice how close the two of you have become over the last month 
Chris: Yeah I know, who would have thought it me Jack's best man. 
Karen: A month or so ago I certainly wouldn't have. Especially considering what good friends he is with Jamual. 
Chris: Yeah well Jamual helped plan alot of the wedding and through the bachelor party so it all even's out. I better go I'll see you at the church 
Karen: Okay, good luck 
Chris: Thanks 
They kiss and Chris runs out the door. 

Jack is driving around on his motorcycle which he's been doing for a couple of hours now no longer able to sleep. He finely finds the spot he was looking for. A little quite bridge. Jack gets off his bike and walks slowly over to the bridge and stands there quietly as the morning sun continues to rise. 
Jack: I know you are long gone, heck I don't even know if you remember me but 
Rafe: I remember you Jack 
Jack whirls around. 
Jack: Rafe! 
Rafe: The one and only 
Jack: what are you doing here? 
Rafe walks over to him and the two friends shake hands 
Rafe: Well, this is a pretty important day for you. I thought you could use a visit from me. 
Jack nods 
Jack: You always could read my thoughts. I remember when Livvie left me for that sciencetest you came right away. You persuaded me not to give up on love 
Rafe: Good thing I did to cause Lark was certainly needing someone when her husband was killed in the line of duty. 
Jack nods 
Jack: Yeah if it wasn't for you Lark and I probably wouldn't have ever found one another. And if it wasn't for you I might have stopped waiting for Lark along time ago but you convinced me to hang on. 
Rafe smiles 
Rafe: I think you convinced yourself on that one. Listen I can't stay long but I wanted to tell you how happy I am for you and that you can trust in her love 
Jack smiles 
Jack: I know I can. Thanks, so you sticking around for the wedding? 
Rafe: Wish I could, but I have a mission to get to. I have one more stop and then I'm off to rid another town of evil. 
Jack nods 
Jack: Good luck, hey you should stop and see Alison while you're in town. 
Rafe grins 
Rafe: All ready did 
Jack smiles and shakes his head 
Jack: Should've known. So you telling me I have nothing to be afraid of today? 
Rafe nods 
Rafe: You and Lark have a destined love and a destined connection. It's ment to be Jack. All you and Lark have to do is believe in it. 
Jack smiles 
Jack: Well after everything we've been through I guess I have a lot of reason to huh. 
Rafe: Sure seems that way to me. So why don't you go home and start getting ready. 
Jack smiles 
Jack: Yeah I should shouldn't I. Hey you take care okay 
Rafe: Always 
They shake and Rafe disappears. 
Jack shakes his head 
Jack: This town sure is lucky to have you for a guardian angel Rafe very lucky. 
Jack heads off. 

Lark rolls over and opens her eyes. She sees the sun streaming gently through her bedroom window and smiles. 
Lark: Perfect a sunny day, just what I need for my wedding. 
Lark sits up and stretches 
Rafe: You didn't think I'd let you have a cloudy day for your wedding day did you? 
Lark jumps and sees Rafe standing by the window. 
Lark: Rafe! 
Rafe smiles 
Rafe: I hope I didn't startle you. 
Lark smiles 
Lark: Seeing you is always a pleasure. 
She leaps out of bed and hugs him. 
Lark: I'm so glad you're here Rafe. 
Rafe: So am I. I wanted to check on you make sure you weren't having second thoughts or anything. 
Lark laughs 
Lark: Well I'm sure if I was you'd talk me out of them. But no no second thoughts. I've been waiting for this day for so long. 
Rafe: I know, and I'm glad you know how right it is. 
Lark: You know it's strange after Mark got killed I never thought I'd love again. But here I am ready to devote my life to Jack. 
Rafe nods 
Rafe: As long as you're alive there is always a reason to love. 
Lark looks at Rafe closely 
Lark: Maybe even after? Have you seen Alison? 
Rafe nods and blushes 
Rafe: Yeah late last night. She looks better then ever. 
Rafe gets a tear in his eye. 
Lark: I know you wish it could have worked. 
Rafe shakes his head 
Rafe: It wasn't meant to be. Besides Jamual treats her well and makes her happy. 
Lark nods 
Lark: She is happy 
Rafe: I know. Hey who is counseling who here 
They both laugh 
Lark: Well consider it a thank you for helping me. 
Rafe smiles 
Rafe: Well, you're welcome. And I'm glad I was able to. You and Jack are great together and truly belong together. 
Lark nods 
Lark: I know. We are truly blessed. So are you staying for the wedding? 
Rafe sighs 
Rafe: I wish I could be I'm actually just passing through on my way to a mission in a little town called Harmony. Seems there is some nasty evil on the loose. 
Lark nods 
Lark: Well with you on the case I'm sure it doesn't stand a chance. 
Rafe smiles and blushes 
Rafe: Thanks, well I'd better go congratulations 
Lark: Before you go can I ask you something? 
Rafe: Ofcourse. 
Lark: Everyone is shocked that I woke up and have made such a fast recovery, and no one can figure out how I was able to take down Christina right after coming out of my condition. Did you play a part? 
Rafe smiles 
Rafe: The answers are all in your heart Lark. 
Rafe hugs her and disappears. Lark smiles 
Lark: I'll take that as a yes. 
She goes to take a shower. 

Kevin comes into his bed room after showering and finds Lucy smiling and humming as she gets ready. Kevin smiles at her lovingly. Lucy turns sees him runs over wraps her arms around him and gives him a long passion filled kiss. Then smiles up at him 
Lucy: Goodmorning 
Kevin smiles as he holds her close 
Kevin: Well, goodmorning to you to. 
Lucy then goes back to getting ready. 
Lucy: Oh Doc, isn't it just the most wonderful day! The sun is shining, the sky is bright blue without a cloud in sight, it's not cold out at all, and everything is right with the world. 
Kevin nods 
Kevin: It certainly is a great day for a wedding. 
Lucy: Oh Doc I'm not talking about the wedding. I mean, yes it is a great day for a wedding and I'm very very happy for Lark and Jack. Those two kids really deserve some happiness. Oh but doc today is just extra special. I I feel it all around me. Something truly wonderful is about to happen. 
Kevin smiles and walks over to her. 
Kevin: You think so huh 
Lucy: Oh Doc I had the most incredible dream last night. I was sitting in a nursery like the one Scott and I had for Christina. I was sitting all alone in the dark and all of the sudden the door opened. 
Kevin: Lucy. . . 
Lucy: No doc listen the door opened and Christina was standing there and she told me she was sorry. Oh doc it was so real. 
Kevin puts his hands on Lucy's shoulders. 
Kevin: Lucy, I'm sure it seemed very real to you. You've been wishing for that so hard but the reality is that was just a dream. 
Lucy: No, doc, it wasn't. I mean yes it was a dream. But Kevin when I woke up, I could still hear her voice in my head. And I had this strange sensation come over me. I can't explain it but I really think Christina is getting better. I just have this feeling. 
Kevin looks at Lucy with concern. 
Kevin: Lucy you've been through so much already 
Lucy: Oh Kevin I know you don't put much stock in my dreams or feelings but this one was different. And I just know that it means Christina is getting better I just no it. Now I'm going to go see how Faith and Hope are doing I don't want to be late. And I'm going to call ferncliff this after noon and get an update. 
Lucy leaves the room Kevin looks after her with concern. 

Chris walks through the halls of ferncliff to the visitors room with the doctor at his side. 
Chris: So what exactly happened during her session yesterday? 
Dr. Keen: Well, we discussed what is true and what is false. We talked about right and wrong. And we looked over some old newspaper clipping's from the past. She was very quite after that and then wanted to see you. 
Chris: You don't think she was traumatized by what you showed her or told her do you? 
Dr. Keen: No, no she was still responsive to people just more quite then usual. I think she did make some big revelations though. 
Chris nods 
Chris: Okay. But please be careful I want her better not canotonic. 
Dr. Keen nods 
Dr. Keen: I can't guarantee that she will ever be better but I promise not to make it worse 
Chris nods 
Chris: Thank you. 
Dr. Keen then lets him into the visitors room. Chris sees Christina sitting in a chair holding herself rocking back and forth. Chris runs to her 
Chris: Christina! 
Christina jumps up and throws her arms around Chris and starts crying 
Christina: Daddy! I'm sorry I'm sorry. 
Chris holds her tight 
Chris: It's okay everything is okay I'm here now I'm here. What's wrong sweet heart what happened? 
Chris helps Christina back to her seat and kneels down next to her. He strokes a tear from her cheek 
Chris: What is it honey what is it? 
Christina: I did horrible things. I I didn't know I was doing bad Daddy honest I didn't. I thought I was doing the right thing. Mommy always said this was right. 
Chris sighs and hugs Christina 
Chris: I know Christina I know you didn't. I have never doubted that. That's why I sent you here where you could be helped. I know you are not to blame for this Julie is. You were only following her lead. 
Christina: The paper said Lucy didn't kidnap me? 
Chris nods 
Chris: No she didn't. You see your Mommy was very sick and infact was in this very hospital. The baby sitter that your Mom and I got for you was very bad and left you alone. Lucy found you and fell inlove with you. She took you in to her home and her family. She didn't know you already had a mommy. And she had always wanted to be a Mommy so she decided to be your Mommy. Anyway when your Mom got out of the hospital she decided she wanted you back. But Lucy had already had your for close to a year and like any good mother didn't want to give you up . But Julie wanted you back very badly so she left me and took you and went on the run. 
Christina looks at the floor 
Christina: No body made her leave you? 
Chris shakes his head 
Chris: No. 
Christina: I I nearly killed my real mommy? 
Christina starts crying 
Chris can't believe the break through and though he feels horrible for her is very excited inside. 
Chris: No Julie put you up to it. She told you lies about everyone and everything. No, you didn't have to do these things but you are by no means souly responsible either. And for what it's worth Julie is your bioligical Mom not Lucy 
Christina: But Lucy is still my mom. 
Chris squezes her hand 
Chris: You didn't know. 
Christina: Do do you ever see Lucy? 
Chris nods 
Chris: Sometimes it's a pretty small town. 
Christina pulls out a folded peace of paper from her pocket and hands it to him 
Christina: I made this earlier this morning. Can you please give it to her? 
Chris opens it up and sees a picture of a sad face drawn in crayon and under it the simple word sorry. Chris's eyes fill with tears and he smiles 
Chris: I will deffinetly give her this. Would you like her to come see you? 
Christina looks at Chris confused 
Christina: Why would she want to do that? 
Chris smiles 
Chris: That's how Lucy is. She's kind of like me once she's given her loyalty it's near mposible to break it. And like me Lucy sees where the real blaime here lays and it's not with you. 
Christina shrugs 
Christina: What ever 
Chris: Honey I have to go but I'll be back later today to see you okay? 
Christina nods 
Christina: Okay Daddy 
Chris hugs her 
Chris: I love you 
Christina: I love you to Daddy. 
Chris stands 
Chris: And I'll be sure to get this to Lucy. 
Christina nods and smiles apriceatily 
Chris gives her a peck on the cheeck then leaves. 

Karen and the kids arrives at the church tux in hand. Scott sees her and the kids, and comes over. 
Scott: Hey there 
Karen smiles 
Karen: Hi Dad 
They hug 
Christopher: Hi grandpa 
Abby: Hi grandpa 
Scott: Hey you to 
They hug 
Scott: So what's with the tux, Chris pull a disappearing act or something? 
Karen smiles 
Karen: No he had something come up this morning that needed his immediate attention so I told him I'd bring his tux with me and he can change once he's here. 
Scott: Life of a doctor huh. 
Karen: More like life of a father. 
Abby: Christina needed him again 
Abby rolls her eyes 
Karen: Abby Dad has explained to you several times why he is being there for him. 
Abby: Yeah well I don't have to like it. 
Abby huffs off 
Karen sighs and shakes her head 
Christopher: Don't worry Mom. She's just jealous cause she's not Daddy's only little girl anymore. I'll go check on her. 
Christopher goes after Abby. 
Karen smiles and shakes her head. 
Karen: Christopher is truly one of my greatest sources of peace right now. 
Scott: Yeah, well I'm with Abby. Why the hell are you putting up with Chris seeing that nut case. 
Karen sighs 
Karen: Dad she's not a nut case she's a very disturbed woman who would not be this way had she grown up here in Port Charles. 
Scott: Well now you sound like Lucy. Always defending her. 
Karen: I'm not defending her actions Dad, and I highly doubt Lucy is either. I'm just saying that it's not all her fault. Julie played a huge role in this. Look Chris isn't happy with her actions, he doesn't approve and he most certainly isn't proud but he's not about to abandon her. 
Scott: Why not! 
Karen: Okay Dad let me put it in these terms. If Randi, Brian, Serena, or I did something reprehensible and horrible would you walk away from us? 
Scott: Well that's different. You are my kids. 
Karen: Well Christina is Chris's kid. No not biologically but in every other way. I know it's hard for you to understand but in Chris's heart, in his soul, in his mind Christina is his little girl. She's been his little girl since the second she was born. And nothing will ever change that nothing. 
Scott shakes his head 
Karen: I know it's heard for you to imagine feeling that way about a child that isn't biologically yours. I mean even when you and Lucy had Christina that first year I could always tell what an effort it was for you 
Scott sighs 
Scott: I'm not going to lie Karen, I really never could think of her as mine. I tried but I just couldn't. I guess that makes me a pretty lousy person 
Karen smiles and shakes her head 
Karen: No not in the least. Look everyone is different. Some people don't have a problem loving any and every child and others just don't. It's not right or wrong it's just different. But can you at least try to understand where Chris is coming from. If one of your own children did these things. 
Scott: I'd be there for them. 
Karen: Well Chris is being there for his. 
Just then Frankie and Randi walk up. 
Randi: Hey sis what's up? 
Scott: Your sister is explaining to me why Chris feels the need to have contact with Christina. 
Frankie: Well that's simple they are basically father and daughter. 
Everyone looks at Frankie a bit surprised at his understanding. 
Randi: But after everything she's done? 
Frankie: Randi would your Dad ever turn his back on you? 
Randi shakes her head 
Frankie: Mine neither. Dad's are always there for their kids even someone like Ramsey. 
Randi: But she's not really his. 
Frankie shakes his head 
Frankie: Yes she is Randi she's as much his as Lark is my Dad's daughter. You see love truly can be thicker then blood. 
Karen: That's very true Frankie. 
Scott: Your Dad walked away from her didn't he. 
Frankie nods 
Frankie: Because she didn't want him around. She tried to kill him twice and she doesn't think of him as her father. So there is no point to him being around her. However she does love and respect Chris as her father. So it's only right that he's around. 
Randi nods 
Randi: That makes sense. 
Scott: Yeah I guess. I just know what she's cost all of us. 
Karen reaches out to her Dad and takes his hand 
Karen: Chris isn't condoning it Dad he's just being there for her that's all. 
Frankie: I don't like her either but I think Ramsey is doing the right thing. I mean, she's his kid. 
Randi: Yeah when you put it like that it really makes sense. 
Karen nods 
Karen: Well I'm going to go in now and take this tux to the back room so Chris can change when he gets here. I'll see you inside. 
They all nod and Karen goes in. Scott sighs I'm going to go find Brian and then find some seats you kids coming? 
Randi: Yeah sure 
Frankie: Right behind you 
They all head off. 

Lark is standing in a room at the front of the church looking at herself in the mirror when Frank walks in. Frank stands there and just stairs at her. Lark turns and sees him just staring at her. 
Lark: Hey Dad is something wrong? 
Frank smiles and shakes his head. 
Frank: No nothing is wrong. I just can't believe what an absolute vision you are. You have got to be the most beautiful bride of all time. 
Lark blushes. 
Lark: Thanks Dad. 
Lark notices a tear in Franks eye 
Lark: Dad why are you crying? 
Frank: I was just thinking about how just a few months ago this day wasn't even a possibility that I fathomed. I thought I'd lost you forever. Now here you are my little girl all ready to walk down the ile. It's a miracle. 
Frank gets all choked up. Lark hugs him and smiles 
Lark: I know Dad I know. I love you to. 
Frank: So how do you feel? Are you ready? 
Lark smiles 
Lark: I feel wonderful and I'm very ready. You know it's funny it seems like only yesterday I stood in this church for Mark's funeral. 
Frank nods 
Frank: That was an awful time. Courtney and I were so worried about you. 
Lark nods 
Lark: I really never thought it would be possible to love again. But here I am ready to get married and I can't imagine not loving. 
Frank smiles 
Frank: That's the way it should be. Life goes on. 
Lark takes his hands in hers. 
Lark: So can you do me a favor? 
Frank smiles 
Frank: Anything for you. 
Lark: Promise me that you won't give up on love either. Promise me that you won't close your heart off. 
Frank starts to protest. 
Lark: Dad please listen to me. I know you loved Courtney very much okay. The same as I loved Mark. But I also know that life is to short to be alone and being alone can break your heart just as easily as being with someone. Look Mark and Courtney would not want or expect us to give up on love. Please Dad you may not be ready now but keep your heart open to the possibility of someone new please. 
Frank smiles and shakes his head. 
Frank: You know a daughter isn't supposed to be smarter then her father. 
Lark laughs 
Lark: Well what can I say, you have taught me well. So will you promise me that you won't close the door? 
Frank sighs 
Frank: I don't know when I'll be ready for a new relationship Lark, but okay for you I promise I won't close the door on the idea. 
Lark smiles and hugs Frank 
Lark: Thankyou, you are just to wonderful to be alone. 
Frank smiles as he holds his little girl close. 

Jack and Jamual are in the back room finishing getting ready. 
Jamual: So when is Chris going to get here? 
Jack: Soon I hope. Karen said he had some kind of situation come up that he needed to deal with right away but that he'd be here in time. 
Jamual: You know Jack I know Chris is your brother and all but doesn't it bother you that he cares about that lunatic? 
Jack considers this 
Jack: No, no it doesn't. I mean, sure if he was trying to get her out, or was defending the things she's done then yeah I'd be pissed. But he's not. All he is doing is being her father. Which in both their eyes is what he is. No, if you ask me Chris is right on target. He's doing exactly what a good Dad does. He's sticking by his kid no matter what. I can't fault him for that. 
Jamual shakes his head. 
Jamual: Man things have changed. 
Jack laughs 
Jack: Yeah I guess they have. I sure as hell never thought Chris would be my best man but here he is. I hope you don't mind but 
Jamual: Hey man I think it's great you and your bro are getting close. I remember how great it felt to start to bond with Gabby. You know, there is nothing like family so don't sweat it I understand. 
Jack smiles 
Jack: Thanks. Listen I know this Christina thing is hard to understand but put yourself in my brothers shoe's can you honestly tell me you could walk away? 
Jamual smiles and shakes his head. 
Jamual: No, no I couldn't. 
Just then Chris rushes in breathless. 
Chris: Sorry I'm late, I'll be ready in no time. 
Jack: Hey glad you made it bro, no problem. 
Jamual: I'll go check on things out front. 
Jack: Thanks man 
The old friends hug and Jamual heads out. 
Chris: Thanks for being so great about this. I mean, I know it's your wedding day and all but 
Jack: Hey listen Chris, just cause I don't have kids dosn't mean I don't understand hwere they go on the list of priorities. I grew up with nothing just like you so I am more then aware that kids belong at the top of the list. Christina needed you today and that takes presitence. 
Chris smiles truly tutched by his brothers understanding. 
Chris: Thanks, Jack I know you weren't so keen on this a month ago but 
Jack: A month ago I didn't know you or the situation all that well. I didn't understand the bond or realize all you were truly trying to do. It's cool man I support you. So how is she what's going on? 
Chris smiles with tears in his eyes 
Chris: Believe it or not Jack she's doing pretty good. I went there today not knowing what to expect. Her doctor was very cryptic on the phone. Basically said she was not acting like herself. I thought maybe she was traumatized or something. 
Jack: But she's not right? 
Chris shakes his head 
Chris: No, she's upset but not traumatized. Apparently she had a big revelation yesterday during her session. About Julie, the things Julie told her, the truth, and Lucy. 
Jack: Wow must have been some session 
Chris: Tell me about it. I'm not sure I'm so thrilled about them pushing her like this but hey it seems to be working. She actually felt bad about having hurt Lucy and wanted me to give her this apology note she made. 
Chris shows Jack the drawling with the words I'm sorry on it. Jack stairs in disbelief 
Jack: Okay now I have seen it all. This has got to be a miracle. Unless 
Jack gets quite not wanting to hurt Chris's feelings. Chris picks up on the thought 
Chris: Unless this is all a big con job on her part. Like the one Julie pulled on this town? 
Jack: I'm sorry to be such a downer but it's something to consider. 
Chris nods 
Chris: True, but it's not as if I'm helping her get out and Lucy would try and see her anyway. 
Jack nods in agreement. Chris looks at the picture thoughtfully 
Chris: Right or wrong I have to give her the benefit of the doubt on this one. 
Jack puts his hand on Chris's shoulder. 
Jack: I know you do bro and I totally respect that. I'm just saying be careful okay 
Chris nods 
Chris: Yeah I will. Believe me after what happened with Julie I've learned my lesson. 
Chris sighs and sticks the card back in his pocket. 
Chris: But today isn't about Christina it's about you. So you all set? 
Jack smiles 
Jack: I have been set to marry Lark for what seems like forever. 
Chris smiles 
Chris: It has been a long road hasn't it. 
Jack nods 
Jack: Yeah a very long road. But we are here now, and you know what I think we are a better couple because of it. I mean, sure I wish Lark had never gotten sick but I think it proved just how strong our love really is. 
Chris nods 
Chris: They say hard times really prove who is meant to be and who is not. I must say you are far braver then me. 
Jack: Oh come on that's not true. If it was you wouldn't be with Karen. 
Chris: I guess, but there was a while there when a new person was the last thing I wanted. 
Jack: Yeah I know that feeling. When Livvie left me I felt like my world was over. I really didn't want to try again. I thought Livvie and I were meant to be so when she left I just figured I'd always be alone. 
Jack shakes his head. 
Jack: Then I ran that red light and who should pull me over but Officer Scanlon 
Chris: Best ticket ever huh. 
Jack grins 
Jack: Worth every penny 
They both laugh 
Jack: Man how things change. I had just spent days convincing myself I was done with women then Lark pulls me over and all the yapping I'd done about giving up on love when right out the window. 
Chris laughs 
Chris: Yeah you fought it a little but it was no use. 
Jack smiles 
Jack: No it didn't take much. 
Chris smiles 
Chris: Well speaking of Lark are you about ready? 
Jack nods 
Jack: Yeah how about you? 
Chris straightens his bow tie. 
Chris: All set 
Jack: Okay lets do it. 
Chris and Jack start out but Chris stops Jack 
Chris: Hey Jack incase I haven't mentioned it, I'm proud of you and I really wish you the best. You deserve it. 
Jack smiles at Chris 
Jack: Thanks bro, I love you to 
They hug and head out. 

Everyone is seated now waiting for the wedding to start. Jack and Chris are at the front of the church as the music begins. Frank and Lark get ready to walk down the ile. 
Frank: Ready? 
Lark smiles 
Lark: Lets do it. 
They start down the ile. Lark looks up to the front of the church and seeing Jack smiles. She mouths I love you and he mouths I love you too back to her. Gabreilla leans over to Joe. 
Gabriella: Have you ever seen a more buetiful bride? 
Joe smiles putting his arm around Gabreilla 
Joe: Only once 
He smiles at her lovingly and they kiss. Frank and Lark reach the front of the church 
Priest: Who gives this woman to be married to this man 
Frank: I do 
Lark and Frank hug Frank hands Lark's hand to Jack 
Frank: You treat her right 
Jack: You have my word. 
Frank smiles and takes his seat. 
Priest: Jack and Lark have chosen to write their own saraomony. 
Jack clears his throat 
Jack: Lark this is the second time around for both of us, and both of us have dealt with alot of garbage and difficult times in our lives. But I truly believe it is because of our past that we are able to be here today. Every tear we shed lead us one step closer to one another. Lark I love you and our hard times have made me more certain in our love and in our future together. You are my future Lark and today I celebrate that future, our love, and our life together. You will always be in my heart, and my soul. And no matter where life takes us I know that with our love to guide us we will make it through. 
Lark smiles lovingly at Jack 
Lark: Jack for our special day I've writen you a poem. Lark clears her throat 
When I was young I dared not dream for fear of my heart breaking. Then I found a family that taught me to love. When I was widowed I barried my heart for fear it would be broken once more. But then I found you. You have taught me the endurance of love, the power of love, and the wonder of love. When I'm with you I know my heart and my soul are safe. When I'm with you I know there is no moutain to tall no river to wide. You and I can tutch the sky. I love you now and for always. 
Jack and Lark stair lovingly at one another. 
Preist: Jack do you take this woman to be your wife. To have and to hold for saking all others for as long as you live 
Jack: I do 
Priest: Lark do you take this man to be your husband to have and to hold forsaking all others for as long as you both shall live 
Lark: I do 
Priest: The rings 
Chris pats Jack on the back as he hands him the ring 
Alison and Lark smile as she hands Lark the ring. 
Jack: Lark I give you this ring in token and pledge of my faith and love. With this ring thee I wed 
Jack slips the ring on her fingure. 
Lark: Jack I give you this ring in token and pledge of my faith and love. With this ring thee I wed. 
Lark slips the ring on his fingure. 
Priest: It is now my privlage to introduce to you for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Jack and Lark Ramsey. 
Everyone cheers as Jack pulls Lark in close and they kiss tenderly 

At the reception everyone is dancing and having fun. Karen and Chris are talking off in a corner. 
Karen: This is amazing! It's the mirical Lucy has been praying for. 
Chris nods in agreement 
Chris: It's the mirical alot of us have been praying for. 
Karen smiles and squezes Chris's hand 
Karen: It must feel good to see the little girl you new was there coming out. 
Chris nods and wipes a tear from his cheeck 
Chris: It really is fantastic. I mean, I know she's probably never going to be free again and she's always going to be a little messed up but 
Chris shakes his head 
Karen: But she's lost some of that hate and is starting to be the girl you knew she was. 
Chris smiles 
Chris: Yeah something like that. 
Karen: So when are you going to give Lucy the picture? 
Chris: Soon. I first have to figure out how to stop her from blowing this. 
Karen looks confused 
Karen: I don't understand how could she blow this? 
Chris: Oh by running right over there and trying to mother her. Look Christina is starting and the oprotive word is starting to understand that the things she's done were wrong. And yes she feels badly about how she's treated Lucy but all of these revilations and new feelings are just that new. If Lucy goes running in there and throws herself on Christina I''m really afraid Christina will back slide. Oh and if she bad mouths Julie I don't even want to think abouit what could happen. Good mother or not Christina loved her and she won't put up with Lucy verbally attacking her. 
Karen nods understandingly 
Karen: So what you are saying is Lucy needs to take it slow but you're not sure she'll get that. 
Chris: Considering she's been chomping at the bit to see her I really have my doubts. 
Chris sighs 
Chris: And I don't blame her you know. I mean, wether or not I like her she is a goodmother and truly loves Christina. So I certainly don't expect her to now want to be part of Christina's life, or blaime her for trying to be part of her life. But well I want this to work and 
Chris shakes his head. 
Karen: Well what if you talked to Kevin? I mean, Kevin would probably understand and might be able to get Lucy to hold off for awhile. Though I can't help but think Christina maybe ready for some contact with her. 
Chris: Oh I think she's clearly ready for a phone call and soon maybe more. But for Christina's sake I just think small steps are the best. 
Karen: I agree. And if anyone is going to be able to explain that to Lucy it's Kevin 
Chris nods 
Chris: So where is he? 
Karen looks around an spots him talking to Scott. 
Karen: Kevin's over there come on lets go talk to him. 
Chris: Karen given your father's feelings about Christina 
Chris shakes his head 
Karen: Don't worry we'll talk to Kevin in private. 
Chris: Can you first just explain one thing to me about your Dad 
Karen takes a deep breath knowing what is coming 
Karen: What? 
Chris: He is Christina's adopted father. He professed to love her and care about her and faught Julie and I tooth and nail to keep her. So could you please explain his behaivor now cause I don't get it. I mean, did he ever love her or was it just all for Lucy? 
Karen sighs 
Karen: You know my Dad tries very hard to make the people he loves happy. Lucy wanted a child very badly and at the time was afraid of trying to have one natural due to all of her miscarages. Scott loved her and wanted her to be happy so he agreed to adopt. I know my Dad really believed he could love an adopted child as his own. I know he believed he'd have no problem giving them all the love and devotion he gave Serena. But thinking you can do something and being able to do it are two very different things. I know he tried he tried so hard to love Christina as his own. He pushed himself and did everything he could to feel what he feels for Serena, and I for Christina. 
Karen shakes her head and sighs 
Karen: But you know sometimes no matter how hard you try, no matter how much you want something you just can't reach the goal. I think it really frusterated him and upset him that he was unable to love her as his own but dispite his best efforts he just couldn't. He tried but it just didn't work. Some people have hearts that can love children that aren't there own as there own and others like my Dad just don't. Anyway when Julie took her away and Lucy left him I think on some level it was a relief cause he could let go. He could forget about this child that he couldn't love. My Dad was able to let go of the guilt he felt over not being able to love her as well as the frusteration and anger. He could also refocus on his own kids which is what he wanted to do. I'm not saying that's right or wrong but I think that is what happend. So what you have now is Scott reacting to a woman who killed his wife. This is not a woman he feels a conection to even the conection they had was lost years ago. Once she was out of the picture he let go. 
Chris sighs 
Chris: So for him she might as well be a stranger. 
Karen nods 
Karen: You got the picture. It really is ashame but that's how it goes. At any rate she has you now and who knows maybe one day she'll have Frank to 
Chris shakes his head 
Chris: I don't know about that 
Karen: She's reaching out to Lucy isn't she 
Chris considers this 
Chris: That's true. Okay lets go talk to Kevin see if he can help. 
Karen nods they walk over to Kevin and Scott. 
Scott: Hey you two. 
Kevin: Hi Karen, Chris 
Chris: Hi 
Scott: So Chris I hear you went to see the nut today 
Karen sighs 
Chris: You know Scott I understand your anger, but she is my daughter and I can't turn my back on her. See my heart dosn't only recognize blood. Christina is my daughter and I can't turn on her though I'm sure some find it easy to. 
Chris glairs at Scott who is clearly hit by what Chris has said. 
Scott: I'm going to go check on Randi and Brian. 
Scott starts to leave then turns and looks at Chris 
Scott: You know I admit it's not something I'm proud of that I can't love a child as my own that isn't but I have no quams about not loving a killer. 
Scott walks off. 
Chris shakes his head. Karen squezes his hand glad the confrontation was mild. 
Kevin: So how is Christina anyway? You know Lucy keeps hoping somehow there will be some progress but 
Kevin shakes his head doubtfully 
Kevin: As a doctor I'd like to believe that is possible but as a person I don't know. 
Karen smiles 
Karen: Well as a matter of fact Kevin we have some good news on that front 
Kevin: You do? 
Karen nods 
Chris: I got a call from on of Christina's doctors this morning. She aparently had a very intence theripy session yesturday during which some major revilations occured. Anyway she wanted to see me. So I went to see her and low and be hold she had come to see that Lucy hadn't taken her from Julie. She undertands that what she did was wrong. She feels bad that she hurt Lucy and look at this! 
Chris pulls out the I'm sorry picture Christina made and shows a stunned Kevin. Kevin stairs at it and shakes his head. 
Kevin: Wow, this is this is unreal. 
Chris: Tell me about it. I mean, I had hoped this would happen someday but this is far more then I hoped for so soon. 
Kevin sighs handing the picture back to Chris 
Kevin: Chris not to put a damper on this or anything I mean this is great news. But how can you be sure this isn't a trick of some sort. Lucy has already been through so much I really don't want to set her up for being hurt again. 
Chris sighs 
Chris: Well, I can't be one hundred percent sure Kevin I mean you're right about that. But I do like to think I know my little girl and all things considedered this does look pretty real. But I do think it would be best to take this slowly. I mean, Christina is probably ready for a phone call but I'm not sure about much else. 
Kevin nods 
Kevin: You do realize that getting Lucy to take this slowly will be about as easy as stopping a wild fire from spreading in a forest. 
Karen: Well that's why we came to you first. We thought maybe you could help us talk to Lucy. Chris wants to give her the note Christina made but. . . 
Chris: But I don't want to cause Christina to back slide and having Lucy going racing in there 
Chris shakes his head 
Kevin: Could cause her to pull away I understand. Okay look I think I better talk to her. Chris you are not one of her favorite people, no offence. But that being said she may not listen 
Chris nods 
Chris: However you think is best. Just please try to impress upon her how important it is to take this slow. 
Kevin nods 
Kevin: I''ll do my best. 
Chris: Thanks 
They shake 
Kevin: you're welcome. 
Kevin takes the picture and heads for Lucy. 
Karen and Chris look at each other. 
Chris: Well it's out of our hands I guess. 
Karen squezes his hands and smiles 
Karen: It will all work out Chris I just know it. 
Chris smiles and they kiss. 
Lucy and Alison are talking over by the dance floor. 
Lucy: He was here? As in right infront of you near enough to tutch! 
Alison smiles and nods excitedly 
Alison: I know it's supposed to be kept pretty quite but I thought you'd like to know. 
Lucy: How does he look? 
Alison: Pretty much the same. He wasn't staying long he was off today on some new mission 
Lucy: Well I'm sure he'll be succsesful 
Alison: Oh I'm sure he will to. 
Lucy: Listen thanks for telling me 
Alison: Hey he's your cousin I know you love him. 
Lucy gets a sad look in her eyes 
Lucy: Yeah I do, I just wish we'd had more time together you know 
Alison nods 
Alison: Yeah me to. 
Just then Kevin walks over and puts his arm around Lucy and gives her a quick kiss. 
Kevin: Well hello there ladies 
Lucy: Hey Doc 
Alison: Hi Kevin well I'd better go track down Jamual I'll se you both later. 
Lucy: Okay oh and Alison thanks 
Alison smiles 
Alison: Don't mention it. 
Alison walks off. Lucy turns to Kevin 
Lucy: Hey you 
Kevin pulls her close 
Kevin: So what was all that about? 
Lucy smiles 
Lucy: Oh just a mutual friend of ours. So what's up? 
Kevin: Well I have something important to talk to you about 
Lucy: Oh? 
Kevin nods 
Kevin: Come with me 
Kevin leads her to over to a table and they sit down. 
Lucy: Everything is alright isn't it? 
Lucy gets a worried look on her face 
Kevin: Oh yeah actually everything is better then alriight. What I have to tell you is very good news and appears to be the begining of an anwsered prayer however how we choose to handle it could make or break the situation. 
Lucy: I'm not fallowing 
Kevin: Well, you see something very wonderful has started to happen but it's one of those things where if you rush it or push it it may not end up happening. You have to handle it very carefully and slowly in order to make it happen. 
Lucy: Oh well okay but what is it? 
Kevin: Lucy you think I'm a good doctor right? 
Lucy nods 
Lucy: The best. 
Kevin: Okay good cause I am going to be giving you some advice here not only as the man that loves you and wants you to be happy but also as a doctor okay? 
Lucy looks more confused then ever 
Lucy: Okay 
Kevin: It's about Christina. Now before you get excited I really want you to hear me out. Christina has had some major revilations in the last 24 hours. She knows that what she did was wrong and she's sorry about it. Infact she made you this. 
Kevin hands her the I'm sorry picture. Lucy's eyes fill with tears of joy as she begins to shake 
Lucy: Oh Doc this is the mirical I've been praying for! 
Kevin: I know it is Lucy but please you have to listen to me. She is just starting to understand things and she still loves Julie very much and probably always will. I know you want to run to her right now and be her mom but I''m telling you Lucy that is the worst thing you can do righ now. She isn't ready for that if you go charging after her she's going to shut you out. You have to take this slow. I know that is hard for you but in the long run it will be best for everyone. Just think a little paitents on your part now and later down the road she will be your daughter again. 
Lucy stairs at the picture longingly then at Kevin 
Lucy: But how can ignoring this be good for her? 
Kevin: Oh I'm not saying ignore this. I mean a phone call would be great I'm just saying don't go running over there with gifts and hugs and kisses. A phone call is really what she's ready for now and probably not much else. 
Lucy takes a deep breath 
Lucy: Well if it's a phone call she wants it's a phone call she gets. 
Kevin: And one day it can be more. 
Lucy smiles 
Lucy: I know it will be 
Kevin: So you won't rush her? 
Lucy sighs 
Lucy: Well I'm not going to lie to you doc every fiber of my being wants to go running to her right now. But I trust your opinion and if you think that would be a mistake then I won't. We'll go slow I'll call her on the phone. 
Kevin smiles 
Kevin: Great. Also Lucy I know she made this picture but don't forget this could be a trick. 
Lucy sighs 
Lucy: You know doc I realize there is a chance of that but I really feel in my heart that she had no dark intent. 
Lucy starts to cry 
Lucy: My Baby is coming home. 
Kevin smiles and hugs Lucy tightly. 
Kevin: I love you Lucy and no matter how this plays out I'll be here. 
Lucy: Thank you doc 
They kiss tenderly. Karen and Chris watch from a distants. 
Karen: Well it looks like Kevin isn't having to work to hard. 
Chris: Yeah, maybe Lucy really does understand why she has to go slow. 
Karen: It's possible. So what now Ramsey? 
Chris shrugs 
Chris: I'm not sure but what ever happens I think it's safe to say for the first time in Christina's life no one is trying to influence her with dark intent. 
Karen nods in aggrement. 
They hug lovingly. 

The End
