The Wedding of the Century: A Naxie Story (3/3)

Untitled Part 29

As soon as Alexis left the apartment Nathan noticed an anonymous message reading "You have seven days to figure out where in Port Charles I planted a bomb.  If you're in the wrong place at the wrong time you will die.  If you try to evacuate the building you will die.  If you do nothing someone will die."

Maxie "What does your message say?"

Nathan told her and Maxie said "What?  Something is going to explode?  Where could this maniac have planted a bomb?"

Nathan "Anywhere.  It could be here.  It could be the hospital.  It could be Spoon Island.  It could be the police station."

Maxie "The part about wrong place at wrong time makes me wonder if its the hospital the police station or the prison.  Since you take transfers."

Nathan "You're right.  I do.  So does Dante.  It must be Helena.  She did get Jason to plant bombs before he knew his identity.  She could also mean the hospital since you're pregnant."

Maxie "So you really think Helena is behind this?  She would plant a bomb herself?  Wouldn't she have someone else do it?"

Nathan "No she'd do it herself.  The last time it got foiled."

Maxie "True.  I hope you don't go anywhere on Christmas.  I can't lose you.  Lulu can't lose Dante."

Nathan "Where would I be other than here on Christmas?"

Maxie "There better not be a bomb in my building.  If we escape we may blow up anyway."

Nathan "I seriously think its the PCPD or the prison."

Maxie "The PCPD is where you spend most of your time with Dante.  I can see why you'd think that."

Nathan called Dante with his news and he said "What?  Something is going to explode?  Really?  Haven't we had enough explosions in the last two years?"

Nathan "Yes but this person doesn't think so."

Dante "This is insane.  Who do you think it is?"

Nathan "Helena.  She's carrying out my fathers threats on both of us.  She is ruthless."

Dante "That she is.  She will do anything to get what she wants."

Lulu "What are you talking about Dante?"

Dante "Just that Helena is threatening to kill me and Nathan."

Lulu "Dante be careful.  I don't want to lose you.  We had enough trouble after the Valerie mess and the kidnapping."

Dante "I know.  I still don't understand how you forgave me for sleeping with her."

Lulu "I don't either but I did.  I think it can only be because of Rocco."

Dante "I'm so glad you did.  I was in a bad place and I will never do that again."

Lulu "Please let's focus on Helena.  I don't want her to kill you.  Rocco would be so upset."

The following day Nathan got another message reading "The bomb is somewhere you often are.  The place is huge but don't think it will be a car.  It's somewhere with people and lots of them.  Just remember don't warn or evacuate.  People will die no matter what."

He showed Dante and no one else.  

Dante "Whoever it is they want us dead.  They are taunting us."

Nathan "I know it's Helena.  She won't admit it but I know it's her."

Dante "You think it's her because Valentin threatened you and he's dead."

Nathan "The only person who saw him die was John and he's dead."

Dante "Wait you don't think he's alive do you?"

Nathan "Look what happened to Frank Smith before Luke left.  He turned out to be alive after 20 years."

Dante "I doubt he'd show himself so soon after being 'killed'."

Nathan "You never know.  If he's alive and Helena is threatening us it could be two different things."

Dante "Now you're just paranoid man."

Nathan "The last year has been insane.  Spinelli was turning evil my father was evil my mother and aunt are dead what else?"

Dante "I get it but you're grasping at straws here.  It's gotta be Helena and only her."

Nathan "I guess we will see."
