Posh Eatery-Breakfast

Nicolas smiled as Morgan gently warned him about attempting to seduce. He knew she was powerful, he had seen her might and anger firsthand, but in the end he only knew one way to deal with her: with respect, honesty and straightforwardness.

"The world is filled with danger, but some things (winks at Morgan) are worth the risk."

He listened as she spoke of what she had in mind in terms of a partnership. A model?! Not such a reach, could even be fun. He paid enough for his clothes, he may as well pose for pics while he wore them.

"That's sounds neat, although I wonder if this isn't just you enjoying the thought of dressing me every day. Your own personal chocolate Ken doll."
(chuckles)

As she addresesed his concerns about his issues with magic, she stood and caressed his hin. He unconsciously licked his lips as she did so, taking the opportunity to take her form in from a different angle, one that was unusual for one as tall as he. He grinned widely at the remark abbout her being the talisman he would need. He responded smoothly as she began to turn, stroking her hand gently before it left his face.

"Then clearly I have much to be thankful for, that is, IF I "have" you. As a talisman."

Nicolas allowed the comment to follow Morgan as she walked away from him. He rose to his full height, stretched, and used his long stride to catch her, opening the door and escorting her out of the eatery.

I wonder what's next??
 
from day to night

<< Morgan takes Nicolas' arm and they begin their walk throuch Central Park, unaware that Delilah had been here a bit ago and dealt with would be mugger.>>

<< the magickal super model and super powered mutant walked along, Morgan carefully engaged Nicolas in shop talk. she felt his well toned arm with her cool, well manicured hands. he was brimming with energy and vitality.>>


<< Morgan would take the first step in opening her icy heart to a man by offering Nicolas a chance to shine in Illustra...the rest...anything more PERSONAL would come slowly, as Morgan felt more comfortable.>>

--------------

the day passes

<< Alison and Delilah strengthen their own friendship outside of the mutual connection to Morgan as they talk about Cameron, about where the Six is going and the feeling that they may all make it after all. Alison reveals glimpses of the future that are appropriate and Delilah comes to understand just how valuable Alison's gift is...and sees how truly AT PEACE the Seer is now that she is FREE of the nightmare of her family. Alison was never truly "heartless" she just BECAME HARD as her own way of combating the erossion from the family dysfunction she endured, and now, Delilah (along with Morgan and even Haleigh to a degree) had a chance to see a glimpse of who Alison REALLY was, a tranquil woman with an appreciation for life.>>


<< a floor below, Haleigh and Zach make preperations for a retreat, while a floor below THEM, Persephone/Ava opts to remain inside Illustra and avoid anymore awkward moments as she continues to adjust to her new found identiy. Haleigh and "Ava" h ave yet to discuss their own personal dynamic...something that can't be put off for longer.>>


at night....shockwaves come through the city


<< the one man that represents something to each of them, Stavros Cassadine has been sprung FREE by well armed, well trained agents who were aparently operating under Mystech directives. Busted loose from the same courthouse where Alycia Barnett crucified the Klein crime family, Stavros' immediate where abouts were unknown. federal agents were swarming the area and Alycia was now under guard...but she seperated from her guards, to return to Illustra....a fatefull descision indeed even as new broadcasts were all over the air waves.>>
 
back to Illustra-99th floor

:: sirens were echoing in the air all around the city. Alycia hurries into Illustra, using her card to gain her access into the building after hours. The woman is clearly on edge and as the elevator whisks her to the 99th floor, she steps out even as it chimes. walking with quickly, her high heels echo along the metallic floor as the tall woman steps with urgency. finally making it to the door of her satellite office, she comes inside to the circular vestibule. it is dimly lit and her assistant has long been gone.::

:: large spotlights from outside illustra sweep over the windows of Illustra as a helicopter flies by.::

:: Alycia hurridly packs some files into her attache'. not bothering to check in with Alison, Delilah or anyone else as she opens a closet door in her office and moves a set of golf clubs out of the way and pulls out another safe...preparing to open it.::

:: the look on the woman's face is intense...she doesnt seem to be focused on much else around her..or behind her.::
 
99th floor

Watching Miss Barnett quickly rush around her dimmly lit office, she had no idea that Stavros was literally feet behind her. Pressing the palm of his hand against the office door, the soft creeking of the hidges immediately alerted the attorney of his presence. Seeing her turn quickly, the door closed tightly on cue, sealing her from the outside world.

"Miss Barnett."

Stepping forward, closing the gap between himself and Alycia, Stavros' thick Greek accent made it almost impossible for any American to understand what he was staying...but in Alycia's case, she had encountered him enough to understand EXACTLY what he spoke.

"You did not really believe that I could be kept in those American prisons...."

Continuing to move forward, Stavros reached Alycia's desk only to run a steady finger across the dark wood.

"Every puzzel has a solution. Every guard has a price."

Looking at her with cold, stern eyes, Stavros' even temper before to crumble into nothing more than rage.

"But before I left this country, I wanted to come and pay the woman who destoryed my buisness AND my family a little visit. You took everything I built and turned it into a joke. You took my daughter away from me. And now, you will pay with your life."
 
East Hamptons: Haleigh's Palatial 'plan b' Estate

This was the best place to come to get away from it all. It seemed more a vacation spot than an actual home because it was far enough out of the hustle bustle of the city and Haleigh didn't come here often enough. It was a wonderful place to cut the dogs loose for excercise, especially on a day like this: sunshine, a light occaisional breeze, and the temperature around 75 degrees. Haleigh and Zach strolled through the courtyard garden, which was filled with wildly growing japanese honeysuckle, pink oleander, and strategically placed weeping willows with benches in the shade beneath them. They took turns tossing tennis balls out for the dogs. The soft fragrance of the various flowers wafted through the air, adding to the sense of tranquility that helped Haleigh relax, think, and reflect. Zach wisely didn't try to talk too much. As they rounded a curve and came upon the opening Haleigh had brought Blaze to not long ago, Haleigh slowed. The sight of the monuments framed by walls of purple orchids is moving and always serves to ground Haleigh. Large stone crosses serve as memorials to those she has lost over the years. Haleigh knows she must add two MORE crosses to the clearing.... one for Cameron and one for Ava.

But what ABOUT Ava? wasn't Persephone technically Ava now? she had Ava's memories, Ava's life experiences... Ava's emotional ties... but Ava's very SOUL had moved on to another place. Haleigh didn't know WHAT she was going to do about Persephone. As soon as Morgan had brouht them all back, everyone split up... because each one of them could feel how THICK the tension was.... how uneasy things were... and Haleigh hadn't so much as LOOKED at Persephone since she turned her back on the transformation. Would she be able to eventually call Persphone her sister's name without feeling a stab of pain or anger?

And how to deal with Cameron was less than simple as well... the last words he had left her in the letter had touched her deeply, bruised her deeply. If she'd had the courage to tell him how she felt... if she'd had the awareness to be confident he felt the same way... would he have disappeared like he did? What had he been in search of? And had she given up on him and turned to Zach too soon? Haleigh was at a loss.... for the first time in a long time.... she found herself with more questions than answers, and the reality of that hit her hard. What kind of intelligence mogul was she, that she knew so little of her SELF?

In spite of all that, one thing Haleigh DID know was what she might say to Cameron if she had a chance now. she looked at Zach for a moment, and then spoke softly.

"Thank you... for bringing me here.... for getting me out of there. There's something I have to do."
 
Illustra-99th floor

:: Alycia's hazel eyes widened as she heard the door closing behind her. she turned to see STAVROS, jumping up to her feet with a gasp, she backed away from him as he spoke of any guards having their price..and not being able to be held in any american prison.::

:: Alycia backed up into her desk, her eyes glaring at Stavros.::

you...how DARE you come here! you're only getting yourself in DEEPER!

:: Stavros spoke of the life Alycia had ruined, of his family, his business.::

Your business..you're lively hood was built on the blood of INNOCENTS.. people like Sharon Kelly!

:: she gritted her teeth::

just be THANKFULL that I didnt reach Ava FIRST on that compound..otherwise she would have been shot dead. her leaving this earth was the ONLY mercy you'll EVER get! you greedy, murdering BASTARD!

:: Alycia was defiant, and would not show fear..even now, being trapped alone in the darkened office. her hand carefully sliding along the edge of the desk as she desperately tried to reach the panic button to signal Morgan, Alison...ANYONE! but she was too far down from it. her hand DID however touch something else....the handle of a GOLF CLUB! she showed no reaction as she firmly gripped it.::

Men like you are the reason I am alive...to CRUSH you..just as YOU crush others to enjoy the life that you lead.

::facing Stavros, Alycia was close by the floor-to-ceiling window of her office.::
 
99th floor

Hearing the woman lash out the way she did; further defending Sharon Kelly and how it was 'all his fault', drove Stavros from the once reserved and cold man into absolute anger. Slamming his hand down on Alycia's desk, the loud noise instantly overpowered her whiney voice allowing him to speak.

"SHARON KELLY was a power hungry LEECH who took every opportunity to undermind the law and further her own agenda! I deeply recent the hypocrasy of you STANDING here LECTURING me about the wrongful death of a woman who DESERVED EXACTY what she got. I had NO ties to what MysTech did to her. I had no knowledge of what they were PLANNING to do with the equipment I supplied them with. But let me assure you NOW, Miss Barnett! I take FULL responsibility for her death! To know I help rid the world of a conniving, unstable, tyrant, is worth WHATEVER you throw at me! Because whatever revenge efforts you set forth, will NEVER bring her back!"

As Stavros spoke, he made his way around the desk slowly, never breaking his eye contact from Alycia. He would not leave this building until he took Alycia's last breath from her body and exact a little revenge of his own.
 
illustra- 99th floor

:: jumping a bit as Stavros banged the desk, Alycia's eyes darted to his hand and back up at him. he was coming round the desk and DELIGHTING in Sharon Kelly's demise...expressing JOY at the thought of her being killed!? the man was insane...to paint Sharon out to be what HE was in some ways.::

you're out of your mind!

:: Stavros was coming closer as he gloated that no matter what she did...it could never bring Sharon back...and those words shot to Alycia's core...realizing that all she had done...really WOULDNT change anything ...and all the strife between herself and Haleigh, especially now that Ava was gone. Had it really been worth it?::

......don't come ANY CLOSER!

:: the time for self doubt was not now, as Stavros came at Alycia, seemingly to ATTACK HER! Alycia stepped back once before lifting her hands, and SWINGING the golf club with all her might! SLAMMING it into Stavros' temple and his head.::
 
99th floor.....and going down

Lunging for Alycia, suddenly, she took him by surprise, lifting a golf club behind her and swinging it directly at him. Quickly trying to move out of the way, he underestimated her quickness as the club hit him directly in the temple, sending him stumbling to the side and CRASHING THROUGH Alycia's window, and out of Illustra, falling to his death...99 floors down to the ground.
 
Illusta-99th floor

:: it all happened so FAST! one moment she was having an exchange with the man, the next he was ATTACKING HER. Almost without think, Alycia acted to save and protect herself from this monster of a man and "accidently" threw him out of the window of her satellite office...on the 99th floor of Illustra!::

:: the sound of a body slaming through glass, a man screaming with surprise and shock as he fell CRASHING DOWN to his death...it all seemed to loop and replay in Alycia's mind as her eyes went wide and she watched the man whom she had worked so hard to destroy...now DIE by her hand!::

:: she shouldve been thrilled..but she was in shock. as deadly as she was in her field, she had never actually KILLED anyone before..::

:: the wind of the night air rushed in from the massive hole in the panoramic window...causing her hair to blow back as an alarm was now going off. Alycia just stood there...looking out and down....Stavros was now a dead heap on the ground far below.::
 
Illustra - 106th Floor

Guardian said:
who told you that i even LIKED to eat?
Click to expand...

[ Delilah raised her hands in a sign of "non agression". ]

"Hey I'm...I used to be a police officer. We're trained to keep secrets."

[ She winked at Alison conspiratatorially. She looked down into her lap, the amused expression leaving her face. Her gaze returned to her friend after a moment. ]

"There's something very important I need to know."

[ There was a heavy pause as Delilah cleared her throat before looking Guardian directly in the eye. ]

"Are you and Morgan going to have a catfight over Nicolas or what?"

[ Her face erupted into a big smile and she threw a throw pillow at Alison. ]

"No, seriously. You look good Alison, like a weight's been lifted off of your shoulders. It's good to see. As for me..."

[ She sighed. She needed her friend's advice but still wasn't so sure how to put what she was feeling into words. ]

"I feel for the first time in a long while that we aren't just waiting for the next tragedy - like we actual have a respite here and now. But that episode in the park...it brought back something I had been thinking about for a long while now about myself, since I returned from my time in limbo. Doing nothing - outside of the Six, of course - is driving me crazy. I think it's time for me to return to work. On the force...or maybe something at Illustra if there's a need. I don't want to shortchange the Six...but I want to do more. I could really use your advice Al..."
 
Hope Cemetary

Zach made no attempt to stall Haleigh as she faded from view. He played with the dogs so more, equally relaxed in the serene garden as the sun set on the horizon.

Haleigh appeared in a secluded, well covered space not too far from Cameron's grave. It was dusk now, and almost nighttime, giving Haleigh plently of privacy. She emerged from the shadows, making her way slowly to the freshly disturbed dirt of Cameron's final resting place. In her hand, she held a single red rose, and as she knelt to lay it... she found herself settling to her knees, unable to get up. She felt as though she had the weight of the world on her shoulders, and the loss of Cameron was something she had to deal with now. She covered her eyes with one hand, beginning to cry softly int he moonlight. But she didnt let herself weep too long... for there were many things she knew he needed to hear and she didn't doubt he'd be watching.

"Cameron..." She began, in a shaky voice. "I think you must be wondering what I'm doing with Zach. Or maybe you know... maybe you can see that as much as I loved you... I grew tired of waiting for you... and I grew weary of watching you spend yourself on every other woman... and that I began to think 'my god.... will he choose ANYONE else but me?' It was that realization that chased me away from you. I just.... wanted you to know... I'm not mad at you. It wasn't entirely your fault... I was never able to say what I wanted to... and maybe I was never supposed to. But despite all that... I need to tell you now.... that no matter WHO I'm with now... or in the future... there will always be a place for you in my heart. I love Zach, hes been very good to me, and I'm going to marry him... but I didnt want to until I could tell YOU that I'd always love you. I.... hope you can understand that... and be happy for me."

Haleigh sat for a few moments in silence, composing herself. She didn't want to stay too much longer.... seeing his headstone made his death more real and she should probably be getting back to Illustra anyways. She looked up, at the starry night sky, and then around to make sure no one was around to see her disappear into thin air.

****************

Illustra, moments later:

As soon as she appeared in her suite, she was met with earsplitting alarms reporting danger on the 99th floor... a shattered perimeter window. Despite knowing it was ALYCIAS office that the broken window was in... and knowing she would probably have to see Alycia if she went to check it out... She went anyway. She was first and foremost responsible for the security of Illustra and it appeared to have been breached. Haleigh took the express elevator and rushed to the scene of the struggle. Alycia's office door was shut and locked but it presented little obstacle to Haleigh, who shouldered it roughly to force it open. She came upon Alycia, standing near the window and looking shell shocked. Haleigh furrowed her brow, but instead of asking alycia what had happened, she went to the window herself and looked out... and down... and her enhanced vision allowed her to see great detail of the figure sprawled out on the pavement 99 stories down. The dead body of Stavros Cassadine had already attracted attention and sirens could be heard wailing in the distance after Haleigh deactivated Illustra's alarms.

Haleigh turned quickly to stare at Alycia, a scowl developing. She didn't much LIKE Stavros... in fact... Haleigh HATED him for dragging Ava halfway across the world... but she had grown to like the idea of him spending the rest of his miserable life in prision. Death was too easy an out.... but now Alycia had wiped that all away... by killing him. Haleigh didnt know exactly how it went, but she spoke to Alycia with spite anyway because she ALREADY had a problem with the way the attourney had been handling her business lately.

"You.... what is it, the American Court System isnt good enough for you anymore? what, you resigned from the DA office, so now you can deal your OWN brand of justice? When's it going to END, Alycia? Have enough people DIED yet?? Well... you KILLED Stavros... my sister's GONE... have you gotten everything you wanted?? And here's a better question.... does Sharons DEATH hurt any LESS now that you've finished you little tyraid? Has revenge filled the void left by her absence? OR don't you STILL feel the exact same grief? and isn't she STILL dead?"
 
Illustra-106th floor, down to the 99th floor

:: Alison opens her mouth in astonishment as Alison teases her about catfighting with Morgan over Nicolas. the very IDEA.::

HA! I wouldnt dream of it! Nicolas is more Morgan's type...I prefer a more mellow man and we both know it takes a man of stern stuff to tolerate WHAT I can dish out.

:: putting her hand up as the pillow is tossed at her, Alison can't help but to laugh a bit. it appears she's not the only one who has had the chance to "lighten up" a bit following the return from Greece.::

:: as Delilah moved on, wondering about her future and if she would like to return to the police force or find a new career in Illustra, she turned to Alison for advice.::

:: Alison looked over to her friend, and saw the freshness in her bright blue eyes, the renewed spirit in Delilah.::

Delilah, in several possible time threads, I can see you thriving in whatever your choose to do. You're spirit, your resolve are stronger than most and despite your own hard past with your family...you have a resiliency that allows you to triumph over things that some grown men couldnt handle. You have prooven to be the HUMANITY of this team more than once...but still not a doormat by anymeans.

You are at your best when you are in ACTION. If you wanted to return to the police force, if that is what you truly feel in your heart...then my advice is to follow that feeling. You know the Six will always be there to back you when you need it and you obviously have your place here with us.

We all have our lives outside of the Six and you needn't lose yours or feel you dont deserve one for worry that you'll "short change" the team. You've risked your life more than most would for people in this team and you're apart of the core now. You're a close friend of Morgan's...and having come to know you better myself, I consider you to be a good friend as well.

:: pausing for a moment::

If you wanted a career in illustra, there are all sorts of areas to explore. we would have to talk about what exactly wanted in a career with Illustra.....


:: Alison stopped suddenly and looked to the right, over Delilah and toward the panoramic glass window..::

Alycia! STAVROS!?

:: at that moment, Delilah would most likely hear the unexpected sound of a body CRASHING through glass and a screaming man falling to his death. but because they were ABOVE the 99th floor, they wouldnt actually SEE the body fall past their window.::

Alycia was in her office....Stavros surprised her and ATTACKED HER!

:: standing up, letting the comforter fall to the couch, Alison was able to rearrange the molecules of her clothing and she was now wearing her "one shoulder" designed catsuit::

we must get down to the 99th floor at once!

:: Alison BLINKS herself and Delilah down to the 99th floor, into the circular vestibule of Alycia's satellite office and the two women rush in to find Alycia in shock, standing by the panoramic window which is now badly damaged...the sound of air rushing in and out.::



:: Haleigh had already arrived, and the two women could HEAR her berating Alycia, who appeared to be too stunned to respond just yet. Alison rushed to Alycia's side, and pulled her back from the edge, letting Delilah step forward and her perfect vision allowing her to peer down below to see the body of a man far below splattered on the ground::


Alycia! what happened? are you allright?

:: she knew the first step was to snap Alycia OUT of her nearly catatonic state and Haleigh was in a less than charitable mood right now. Alison took Alycia's hand...::

Haleigh, ease up on Alycia. None of us were here...we need to find out how and WHY this happened before we pass judgement.

105th floor

:: After her little chat with her....husband, Persephone decided she needed some air. The day was slowly turning into night as the sun set in the distance. Persephone stood on her balcony looking out into the horizon feeling a lot calmer than previously. The wind blew throughout her long locks, pushing them back behind her shoulders. Everything was quiet and serene. Even the busy streets below seemed to slow. ::

:: Closing her eyes and inhaling a breath, her moments of tranquility soon ended when she heard a massive crash below. Even without her enhanced hearing, the crash seemed to echo in the air. Jumping slightly at the noise, Persephone immediately looked down watch as a man fell from the windows of Illustra and into the streets below. The moment he landed on his back in a bloodied heap, Persephone saw who it truly was. Stavros. With wide eyes, Ava's feelings seemed to wash over Persephone, making her feel like she had seen her own father fall to his death. Sirens could already be heard in the distance and people began to crowd around. Immediately Persephone's body was engulfed in a tornado of winds as she disappeared from her balcony and reappeared in the dark alley way below. Slowly walking out from the alley, no one seemed to notice the goddess because their eyes were all fixed on Stavros' corpse. Picking up her speed into a fast walk, soon Persephone was jogging across the street and pushing her way through the crowd until she managed to make her way to the front. ::

:: Stepping forward slowly, people soon began to realize that Stavros' 'daughter' was present with them. Whispers and gasps began to wash through the crowd as they all seemed to look at Persephone then down at the very dead Stavros. Taking one more step forward, her healed shoe sunk into the blood that pooled around his body. Looking up and over her shoulder, her enhanced vision zeroed in on the broken window, and Alycia standing by it. Alison appeared moments later to usher Alycia away from the scene, making Persephone turn back to Stavros. ::

"Back up.."

:: Her voice was low but stern. Few people listened, others sudden stopped talking. ::

"BACK UP!"

:: Her voice roared above the noise, instantly making the people back away, creating a larger space between them and the scene. Persephone wasn't emotional, nor did she express any emotions on her face. In fact, she was eerily cold and calm. Even though she could feel Ava's pain, she didn't allow that to overtake her...but she did feel the need to protect Stavros' body. This entire intergration was not her cup of tea, and she sincerely wished she hadn't done it... ::
 
outside of illustra

<< Persephone wasnt the only one outside of Illustra for this shocking occurrence. Spellbinder and Rampage were returning to Illustra when suddenly, a BODY came crashing out of a window from the upper half of Illustra!>>

HECATE! a body falling from the window!?

<< Morgan pointed as the body fell, looking more like a manequinn than a real person. as it crashed down to the ground, there were screams and already sirens were wailing in the far distance.>>

That's MY building!

<< she shriekd as she rushed across the street toward the office park surrounding the grounds of Illustra, unaware that Persephone had already made the scene. Pushing her way through the crowd of people, Morgan and Nicolas made their way to the front.>>

I'm OWNER this building, the CEO of Illustra...step back!

<< realizing that someone else had started moving the crowd back, Morgan finally came to the center of the throng.>>

Persephone....Ava....

<< Morgan saw Persephone, kneeling over the broken body of none other than STAVROS. with her recent passage through the seige perilous, Morgan could almost GUEST what kind of turmoil this must be placing the woman in. to see this body on the ground, having fallen from such a height...it was truly disgusting but Morgan had seen much worse in Limbo and so she didnt show any outward reaction of shock.>>

<< turning to Nicolas and whispering....>>

Nicolas, use your telepathic powers to send these people away! We do not need this now....We don't know what's happened and we don't want to risk Illustra OR ...US coming under scrutiny. Stavros being DEAD on Illustra's grounds is going to raise ALOT of eyebrows unless we can find a way to do some damage control and FAST.

<< Morgan stepped forward closwer to Persephone. Looking up a bit, she saw where Stavros' exited...it appeared to be the 99th floor! but there was no site of anyone by the window at this moment. >>

Do you know..what happened? how he came to be HERE?

<< Morgan was not remotely SORRY that Stavros was dead, but there was the obvious question, which she just asked.>>
 
outside illustra

:: Hearing another woman's voice, Persephone looked up to see Morgan and Nicolas pushing their way through the crowd. Paparazzi had already fled the scene, trying to get the best shot of Stavros' 'daughter' kneeling over her dead father. Looking back down at Stavros, Persephone was also used to gruesome sights, causing some of her own during battles in the past. But this sight seemed to make her sick to her stomach. No doubt Ava's doing. Pushing her weight off the ground, hearing Morgan's question, Persephone shook her head. ::

"I don't know. I was on my balcony and I heard a crash. I saw Stav--"

:: Looking around to see the crowd was continuing to grow, Persephone knew she had to keep up apperiences. ::

"--My...father falling. His advanced knowledge of techonology most likely helped him get through the security points and up to Miss Barnett's office."

:: Placing her hand on her stomach, Persephone felt ill and faint, but kept herself composed for the most part. Closing her eyes for a moment to regain her barrings, finally, the police and EMT's arrived, pushing through the crowd. ::
 
Outside of Illustra

Nicolas was enjoying Morgan's company on the way back to Illustra when they saw the body fall. It was already too late for the person falling by the time they noticed. He rushed over with Morgan and, at her urging, began to fill all of the non-emergency reponders with a dread about the place. All of them, including papparazzi, began to exit the scene quickly. Any camera would find that their film was wrinkled, data cards erased. Now only the EMts and ploice officers would be able to join them here. He used hi TK to locate th source of the exit frim Illustra...Floor 999!!?? That was A;ycia's office. Sure enough, he "found" her there, in a state of shock, along with Haleigh and what must be a psiscreened Alison, as he could "find" her body with his TK but no mind to sense. He whispered into Morgan's ear.

"The officers and EMTs will handle it from here. I think it best for us to make sure things are OK upstairs, There will be questions, and I would rather know what's going on before THEY do. Besides, I think Haleigh is not very happy with Alycia at the moment."
 
everyone up to the 99th floor

<< Morgan looks around as the on lookers leave thanks to Nicolas. She shakes her head as she sees the area clear of people.>>

yes, we'd better get up there and make it look as though no one is about.

<< Morgan whisks herself, Nicolas an Persephone from the office park outside and around Illustra up to the 99th floor, right where everyone else was standing. leaving the area outside of Illustra where Stavros landed untouched and without anyone about.>>

<< Morgan saw Alison holding the hand of a distraught Alycia.>>

What happened up here!?

<< Morgan came forward.>>
 
[ Delilah began to nod as Alison advised her on her future. But there was no time to really think about it or respond as the distinct noise of shattered glass reached her ears and Alison teleblinked them to Alycia's office.

She walked to the broken window and carefully leaned out enough to look down on the street below. Her keen eyesight brought her the image of the body of Stavros Cassadine. She leaned back inside the room and turned back to the room. ]

"Stavros is dead...but then again 99 floors will do that to you."

[ It sounded like a joke, but her tone was serious. She looked from Haleigh to Alycia. Which one of them had done this? Or both? Her detective's eyes scanned the room for clues. Had it been self-defense? An accident? Or murder?

First things first. ]

"Haleigh...Alycia...are both of you allright?"
 
Illustra-99th floor

::Alycia continued to stare blankly for a moment, BARELY registering what Haleigh was saying as her mind kept looping the images of her confrontation with Stavros over and over.::

:: Alison took her by the hand and lead her away from the edge of the damaged window and over to her executive chair. The Seer asked Haleigh to back off...and at that moment, Alycia finally snapped back into focus...jumping a bit with surprise as it all seemed so..so UNREAL ::

:: her eyes immediately locked onto Haleigh::

First Stavros..and then YOU? is my office NOT SAFE from INTRUDERS!? AT LEAST I HAD THE COURAGE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT HIM. Where the hell were YOU when reports about his escape were ALL OVER THE DAMN MEDIA!? Maybe if you had been here EARLIER...this wouldnt have happened!

just...SHUT THE HELL UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE YOU STUPID WOMAN.

:: Alycia was beyond tired of Haleigh and her haughty morgal judgements... and right now she felt like she was being ambushed..she was ready to FIGHT.::


:: Alison spoke up and attracted Alycia's attentionshe looked at Alison and Delilah and the newly arrived Morgan, Nicolas and Persephone...::

:: she was still shaken and it was evident in her facial expressions.::

It all..happened so fast!

I came back to Illustra to retrieve some documents... and there he was!

:: pointing to the door::

it was dark, after hours and i didnt expect anyone to be about...but he came out of nowhere...saying that "every guard had their price and that no prision in america could hold him." My guards were NO where to be found...and apparently the SECURITY that Davidoff crows about leaves MUCH to be desired...since HE got into the building and ALL THE WAY UP TO THIS FLOOR.

:: she took a glass of water that Alison was holding out to her.::
