General Hospital Rewrite Part One

June 20th 2016 Part 3

1:37 p.m.
     Sam knocks excitedly on the door. She hits her brother's arms a few times when they hear the lock open. She opens the door and looks out of the crack. "Hello?" she asks. "Hi, I'm Sam, this is Lucas, you're our sister." She says. "Wait one second." She says, taking her time to close the door and unlock the chain lock. She opens the door and moves to the side. "You can come in."
     Sam covers her mouth and gives an excited squeak. She holds her hands out, just under Jo's cheeks. She cups her cheeks. "You're so beautiful. Look at you, so tall and strong. Oh and those eyes, those big blue eyes. God, you're so gorgeous. Lucas look at our little sister." She says, hugging Jo tightly. Lucas joins the hug. "It's good to finally meet you." He says. "You too." She beams.
     "Sorry we dropped by unannounced but I just couldn't wait to meet you." Sam says. "It's alright, I'm not up to much these days anyways." She tells them. Lucas looks around the room. He notices a pile of papers shoved under the bed. He shifts himself to see. Sam distracts Jo. "How long have you been on your own?" She asks.
     "After my mother died in March, I was in a group home for a few weeks, until they tried to send me to Arizona to live with my uncle. I'm not too fond of the heat. I wanted to come meet our father. My uncle didn't want to take care of me, I mean he would have but we aren't close. They sent someone to pick me up from the home and I took off." She tells them. "You ran away?" she asks. "Connecticut is closer than Arizona. I couldn't miss my chance."
     "Sixteen and you're already on the run from the law. You must be related to our father." she laughs, glancing at Lucas. He picks up the papers and starts reading. Jo looks over. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?" he asks. "Put those down." She says. "You're looking for the people who tried to kill Dad." He says.
     "They ruined my life. They're the reason my mother faked our deaths and took me away from our father. Because of them I grew up without a Dad, and he spent years grieving over a baby who wasn't dead." She states, clearly proud of her work. "Sam, you should come look at some of this. She's got a lot." Lucas says. Sam walks over and takes some of them from him. "Jo, these are new leads. Come help us put this back together, we'll do this as a family." She says. Jodie smiles.

     Alexis sits on Julian's lap, facing him. "So, where are we gonna go?" she asks. "Well, we could go to a resort, cost isn't a problem. Or, we can go to this little island my family used to rent. Its less than a square mile and we'd be completely alone apart from some staff, people who live full time on the island. I looked into it right before our wedding hoping we would go there in March or April." He says.
     "I like the sound of just you and me. I get you all to myself. Look up when it's available." She tells him. He looks it up on his phone. "Oh great, look, there's an opening I'm July, of 2018." He says. "Lets find a resort then." She suggests. He starts looking for one. Alexis unbuttons the tops few buttons of his shirt. He laughs and ignores her. "Okay, so there are two resorts that seem good. There's the Rocky Water Resort and the Dream Vacation Resort. Both sound good, or we can keep looking."
     She takes the phone from him and looks at the pictures of the two resorts. "Oh, the Rocky Water Resort is perfect. Julian let's go there." She says. "Alright, they have plenty of openings, when do you wanna go?" he asks. "Soon. As soon as possible." She says. "The thirtieth, we leave on Thursday, get settled in and have a full day Friday, we can leave the seventh. We get a full week." He says. "A week is good, a week if plenty of time."
     She goes back to unbuttoning his shirt. "What are you trying to do?" he whispers into her ear. "I want a sneak peak and what this vacation is gonna." She answers. "Oh, well I can show you that." He tells her.

3:27 p.m.
     Jo throws a dart at an article on the wall. "I meet him, the day my mother died, he went and saw her." She says. "Good aim." Lucas says. "Thanks." She says. "You've somehow got a lot more than the police but still you have so many hole in your information nothing on any of these people will stick. If we give this to the police they'll go after these guys, they'll get out and go underground, we'll lose them forever."
     "We need the files about the people they've abducted." Jo says. "I know where to get those." Sam says. "What? Where?" she asks. "Arthur Finch, he was investigating them too, I'm sure has tons of information." She tells them. "My godfather? Where can we find him?" she asks. "He died a month ago." She says. "Where can we get his stuff?"
     "He left everything to our father, but I doubt he'll have the files. Most of Arthur's stuff is still in England. He brought some stuff over with him, it's how we found Dad and Sonny, but there wasn't much you don't have." She says. "We can call Dad and ask him if Arthur left anything." Lucas suggests. "Yeah you do that, I wanna look at some of this."
     "It went to voicemail." Lucas says. "Here I'll try." Sam offers. "Same, voicemail." She tells them. "Don't worry, I'll call my mom." She says. It takes a second but someone picks up. "Mom?" she asks. "Hi honey, what's up?" she asks. "I wanted to talk to Dad about something, is he there?"
     "Yeah he's right here." She says handing the phone off to Julian. "What do you wanna talk about?" he asks. "I wanted to know if Arthur left any files from his investigation about the organization." She says. "I don't think he left any of that here. Its probably all overseas or with the police." He tells her. "Okay, I'll head down to the police station and ask if they have any. Then I'll have to call Lila, hopefully he has some of her brother's stuff."
     "Huh, yeah." He says. "You seem out breath are you okay?" she asks. "Yeah yeah, I'm all good. I'll talk to you later." He says, hanging up. "Well I know why he didn't answer his phone." She laughs. "We can check the police station later, I'll call Lila but even if she has some she still lives in England and it'll take some time to get them. The PCPD is gonna take there sweet time getting us anything they have so were stuck for a while."
     "We'll find them." Jodie declares. "I know we will." She adds. "Yeah we will, but in the meantime let's all just get to know each other." Sam suggests. "Good idea." Lucas says. Jodie smiles, after growing up an only child with a single mother, this was something she'd never gotten to do.
     She glances at the wall, if only they knew why she was really going after the organization.
