Port Charles Does It Better

Chapter 41

     Explaining Nelle to Parker was not going to be easy and Kristina knew it, but she did the best she could. "Nelle is a person who has made it her mission to destroy my entire family. She's also very dangerous." Kristina told her, becoming slightly nervous now. "I thought she was in prison... I guess she's out somehow. Anyway, dad said she's been spotted on the island we were on. I'm assuming she's been tracking me again." She said with a sigh. "That's why dad said we had to come back. Just until the situation is handled."
     Parker took Kristina's hand in her own. "Look. I'm sure Max has it handled honey. " She told her, squeezing it gently. "It's gonna be fine. Nothing is going to happen to you." Kristina felt her eyes getting watery but decided she'd cried enough already and did what she could to keep them in. "I don't know how many times I have to say this, but I'm not worried about me Parker. I'm worried about YOU. " She explained once more. "She specifically chooses to come after me the day we leave Port Charles for our honeymoon? She's up to something."
     Almost immediately Max came on through the COMS. "Ms. Corinthos?" He called. She walked across the room and hit the button and replied. "What is it Max?" Parker got up and walked over as well so she could hear the update. "Do you remember that room that you were specifically instructed never to go in as a child?" He asked her. "Yes I do. What about it?" She wanted to know. "You two should probably head there... NOW." He said and the line went dead. Kristina and Parker looked at each other. "Shit." They said in unison and Kristina took her wife's hand and began leading her to the forbidden room.

     It took Kristina a minute to find it due to the fact that it had been so long since she'd been here, but she did eventually. "Here it is," She told the blonde. "I have no idea what's on the other side of this door, just to let you know now." She said and opened the door. She found Max in there looking out the window, weapon in hand.
     "Sorry about all of the chaos ladies," He said genuinely. "I know it's not exactly your idea of a good time." He faked a smile. Kristina wasn't buying it. "So what's so special about this room?" She asked. He opened the closet. "OH." She said upon seeing what was inside. "You should probably grab one of those, just in case." Max told the wide eyed smaller girl. She reached onto one of the racks and grabbed a side arm then grabbed the mag and packed it. "Kinda thought this was supposed to be my honeymoon, not a fucking bloodbath." She said angrily. "She couldn't wait until after we got back from our honeymoon to try this crap?" Max shook his head. "Apparently not. I figure she thinks you an easier target without the boss around. Don't worry-"
      Just then a long haired taller blonde that was NOT her wife came busting through the door. "Hey Kristina," she said with an evil smile. "How've you been?" She asked. Kristina raised her weapon. "You need to leave Nelle. Like now." She warned her. "Ah but where would the fun be in that?" Nelle replied in a mocking tone looking at the others in the room. "I see you have friends."
       Max moved forward and stood between Nelle and Kristina, leaving Parker in the back. "This is not going to end well for you Ms. Benson." He informed her sternly. "You will not get to Ms. Corinthos or her wife. I've received strict instructions not to let you near them." Nelle rolled her eyes. "Well... You didn't do a very good job did you?" BANG! The sound of a gun was fired and Max hit the floor holding his stomach.
       "WHAT THE FUCK DUDE?!" Kristina asked her. "You're obviously still a crazy bitch. Some things never change." Nelle shrugged and smiled. "Well duh, why change now?" She said before hitting the smaller girl in the head with the butt of her pistol, knocking her to the ground. "This has been the longest game of cat and mouse I've ever had to play." Kristina was trying to get back to her feet but failing when she heard Parker's voice. "Seriously, if you touch her again, I'm literally going to blow your head off." She was telling Nelle.
     Kristina couldn't see straight. It was almost like she was drunk except not only was everything still spinning, it was fuzzy. She was having trouble focusing. She heard another BANG and felt everything going black. "Parker," She mumbled and then she was out like a light.
