Ambitions
Ch 8

Jacks laughed at Sonny and V's reaction. The more he thought about it the more sense Sonny helping made. "He knows more about the people involved in this case than we do. He could come in handy."

"Are you serious? He is a criminal. You know the Mafia?" V asked incredulously.

"I am a coffee importer." Sonny said with a smile.

"He could help. Trust me on this. He helped with my last mission. He even took a bullet."

"Oh so you want him as a decoy to draw fire?" V asked with a smile.

"I only get shot for causes I don't understand once. Tell me what is going on." Sonny demanded of the group. "What are you two after?"

"If you are adding personnel to our assignment, shouldn't you add somebody with skills? A doctor maybe?" V asked Jerry while ignoring Sonny.

"If he gets shot on the mission we could leave him." Jerry offered.

"And if it is one of us, or worse?" V asked hoping she was getting through to her partner.

"Tell me what you are planning. I may know a doctor." While playing cloak and dagger was not the date he had planned, it would certainly be a memorable experience.

V thought about it. "He does have inside information." Turning to Sonny she spoke again. "We can't be responsible if something happens to you, but if you are still interested call your friend. We will brief you when she gets here."

Stefan left his office hoping to find out what had happened to Nikolas. Using his position at the hospital, he had no trouble looking at the list of people who came to the ER when Nikolas did. "Emily Quartermaine." He said out loud as he went to her exam room.

"Emily, I will do what I can to learn your friend's condition. However, try not to feel so guilty, kid. It wasn't your fault." Eve backed out of the door and literally bumped into Stefan Cassadine. "Maybe it would be best if you two talked." Eve said as she apologized and left.

"Stefan. You know about Nikolas? Is he all right? It was my fault. You probably hate me, right? Please just tell me how he is." Emily pleaded.

"He is in surgery now. Your mother is doing the procedure. That is all I know. Can you give me the details of the accident?"

In the hall Eve filled out Emily's chart, put it away, and headed for the lounge. She had just located her car keys when her beeper went off. "God, I am never going to get anywhere!"

She called the number form the beeper, and was surprised to hear Sonny on the other end of the line. "Hey, can you handle a change of plans?"

"I guess, I am running late. I won't be able to get ready for another hour or so. I haven't even left the hospital yet." She worried he would cancel the date because it didn't fit with his plans.

"No prob. You can come as you are. I need you to meet me someplace else. It's a long story. I'll send Johnny to pick you up." Sonny said hoping she would agree to come. He was so worried she wouldn't he didn't give her the option to back out.

"Okay I guess. I have some jeans here. I'll be outside of the hospital in fifteen minutes." Eve normally wouldn't do something like that but her curiosity was more than a little piqued by this odd turn of events.

"You want me to tell you what I was going to tell Scott? I am going to tell you tonight. Can't you wait?" Laura tried.

"If you want there to be a tonight, tell me now." Kevin's hurt and anger came through as he spoke.

"Tell us both now, Laura." Scott said as he descended the stairs. His first reaction was to throw Kevin out. However, if it affected both of them they should both learn it as soon as possible.

Laura groaned and fidgeted. "This isn't how it was supposed to happen." She stalled. Realizing they wouldn't relent she spoke. "I'm pregnant." She admitted softly.

Luke looked to Jason. "I will help if I can. However, there is one thing I don't understand. Why can papa john help? If he has a gene, or a blood type, or whatever, that would help Sarah; Carly would have it too, right?'

"It is an enzyme in the blood. And yes, Carly has it too." Jason admitted.

" Why do you need to find her father? Why can't Carly save Sarah?"

"It is not my place to tell you. You have to ask her." Jason said strongly.

"Well I think it is time I had a talk with your wife." Luke grabbed his coat and left Luke's with Jason trailing behind him.

---

"Bobbie how could you? Stefan Cassadine? You already married him and realized it was a mistake once, why again?" Carly asked.

"I love him, Carly." She admitted.

Carly was going to go on with the questioning, when Luke barged through the door. "You love who, Barbara Jean?"

---

"Damn good? He was damn good? We agreed to make this work, we renewed our vows. Should I have added one that stated you were not to sleep with your ex lover?" Jax asked obviously upset. "Why is it that every time I marry a woman she decides she likes the last guy better?" Jax became more somber as he thought of Brenda.

"Oh come off it. I am not Brenda. You know that." Alexis said irate at the implication.

"You just told me you slept with Ned. What am I supposed to think?" "You are supposed to trust your wife. I didn't sleep with Ned. However, if you keep up the attitude, I might have to."

"If you didn't sleep with him, what is so good?"

Alexis smiled. "Wouldn't you like to know."
