Santa Who?

Visitor From Hell

Ray Steele
I was busy working and got a call about someone asking for a few minutes of my time. I think about this and I am not expecting anyone at all. I ask Ariana my PA who it is, because I haven't scheduled an appointment with anyone.
Ariana
She says she's your ex wife. I hear him grumble and say send her in and start the recording and have her sign a permission release to record our conversation.
Ray
If she gives you any sues have security escort her off the premises. Please do not tell her anything about Ana. Nothing at all. No information period.
Ariana
Yes sire no information about anything or anyone at all period. I hand her the paper and tell her to sign it if she agrees to being recorded while talking to Ray. He will not allow her to enter his office if she doesn't agree to being recorded and will be escorted off the premises. She grumbles and signs the document in triplicate. I hand her a duplicate and file the others. I turn on the recording equipment before she enters the office I have just buzzed her into.
Ray
Have you turned it all on including video?
Ariana
It is all n now sorry almost forgot the video it's on now as well.
Ray
Thanks Ariana have security come up anyway.
Carla
Long time no see Ray. Nice place you have here.
Ray
Yes it has been. Long tine and it is definitely a nice place. Cut the crap, why are you even here?
Carla
I believe you owe me and so does Anastasia.
Ray
We owe you alright, you should be behind bars as well as Morton was. Now tell me why you are really here.
Carla
I think you and Ana should compensate me in some way.
Ray
Compensate you for what?
Carla
Well Ana should for me giving her life and taking care of her. You for allowing you to adopt her.
Ray
Oh well let's think you spread your legs open and become pregnant by a man you didn't love and had his child and he married you so you wouldn't abort her. He dies the next day poor soul. I say poor soul because he made a huge mistake screwing you. I am betting that if he hadn't died, you would have left him with Ana and found someone else. So are you married to number seven yet. I keep an eye on you Carla for good reasons. Oh Ana wants nothing to do with you, she has a real mother and it's not you.
Carla
Pay me and I will leave you alone. (Until I run out of the money you give me now)
Ray
Here is the deal you go quietly or you go and try to get money from Ana and see what happens. I laugh, I think I want to see you hold your own against Ana. I think you will be violating the restraining orders the guys are coming in to serve to you now. Ariana knocks on the door.
Ariana
Sir these guys are here to see Carla Johnson they have documents for her.
Process server
Ma'am are you Carla Johnson?
Carla
Yes why, he hands me a paper and tells me I have been served with a restraining order. The second guy hands me another document and tells me I am to appear before a judge and sentencing will be held after the trial.
Ray
The military was quite interested in the fact that Carla was getting money that was supposed to be Ana's from her fathers death. Somehow in our divorce she failed to mention the money. So you owe Ana that money. The military is taking action against you for it. I told them about you being here and they made these arrangements my PA called them as soon as you told her you were my ex wife lol. So if you go near Ana or any of us you will serving time. Ana knows about all of this. She paid for the process servers.
Carla
I am getting money or I will be you and Ana's worse nightmare. The paparazzi would love to know the whole story according to her mother.
Ray
Oh you want to go to the press do you? Ariana call Kate Kavanagh an tell her I have an exclusive for her if she can get her in the next thirty minutes.
Ariana
I and Kate laugh because I called her as soon as Ray told me to record everything. I am enjoying him toying with Carla. We will be posting this on line. Kate will have a first choice on this. She wants to do the interview and let Carla hang herself.
Kate
I knock on the door and Ray laughs.
Ray
Wow drive at the speed of light did you? This is Carla Johnson my ex wife and incubator of Ana. She wants to give her side of the story.
Kate
She has a side? Okay so you want to give your side of things right? Okay mind if I record this interview and how about some photos too? Do you need to check your make up first?
Carla
Oh I am sure you can photoshop to make me look appropriate.
Kate
I smile and tell her oh I definitely can make them look very appropriately. I look at Ray and ask if he would like to stay for the interview?
Ray
If Carla doesn't mind I would like to. Did you bring that package with you?
Kate
Yes the package is cooling off in the security area. It was pretty hot.
Ray
Oh I am very sure it was.
Kate
Okay let's set the cameras up and get this going. The guy sets up the cameras to get me in the best light and Carla in the worst light.
Ana
I am sitting watching Carla spew all her lies making her out to be mother of the year and Ray being the worst father ever. He's right I needed to cool off before I confront her. Kate told me she would definitely use everything Carla in the article along with Ray, Ingrid and my interviews as well.
Kate
I tell Carla that the interview will possibly run on line and local stations. It will be ran in Kavanagh news as well. Can you sign this release so we can use your likeness and this interview please. We don't want sued by you. Do you understand we can't pay you for this right?
Carla
Uhm okay, not even a little bit of money?
Kate
Not a dime it's up to you if you want to go ahead with this just sign the documents in front of you. I leave and let Ray get rid of her. I wait and we watch Carla walk out of the building. I am so glad she can't see Ana's home from here. Then we get Ana's, Rays and Ingrids side of things. This is going to be a great interview to watch and the articles for all three of them to refudiate Carlas statements of her being a wonderful mother. I thank all three of them. Ray says he has recordings from the time she entered his office that I can have a copy of if I want them. I take the copies of everything he handed me.
