The nurse comes in with Alexis's second shot and outside the room, Colin's phone rings...

Jabberwocky Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:13 pm

Colin looks at his phone for a moment then answers

Colin:"...Hello?"

Pockets Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:14 pm

Alexis eyes the shot distrustfully.

Cryonix Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:17 pm

Voice: Colin...Colin, it's me, Carmella. She.....she attacked me, because I told the truth.

Jabberwocky Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:20 pm

Colin:"...Carmella? I...Wait...slow down dear....What happened?"

Cryonix Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:24 pm

Carmella: Amanda. She attacked me. I went to see Micah. I wanted to tell him the truth....but she's gotten to him. They bought him off, Colin. He all of a sudden has his dream dojo...built by the Edwards....ALREADY! I KNOW that Alex just threw Amanda at him...to placate him from keeping Alexis. Alexis was HAPPY with him, remember?...Alex was jealous...and now....this...

Jabberwocky Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:34 pm

Colin sighs heavily as he walks outside

Colin:"Carmella I...I honestly don't know what to say anymore...I just...I don't..."

Cryonix Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:35 pm

Carmella: NOT YOU! YOU CAN'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT! I....I need you to help me!

Jabberwocky Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:38 pm

Colin:"I feel weathered. I...I've got to much to lose now..."

Cryonix Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:40 pm

Carmella: ....t...Too much to lose? You...you're going to let them WIN? You're....going to just give up Micah and Alexis to them?

Jabberwocky Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:44 pm

Colin:"I'M not letting them or not letting them do anything..."
he sighs
"Lexi's pregnant. I can't...I can't risk doing anything that might alienate those kids from this side of the family.."

Cryonix Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:47 pm

Carmella: ...L...Lexi is what? She....Then....then it's over. She'll never be free...and neither will my brother. Colin, you know the truth. You KNOW how Alexis feels about Micah....YOU KNOW...and you're going to...just....

Jabberwocky Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:56 pm

Colin:"I'm just going to what?...Listen Carmella, what the hell do you think I could even do or say? Anytime I open my damned mouth I end up making things WORSE. Why would I want to do THAT?"

Cryonix Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:59 pm

Carmella: ...Because I thought you cared about Micah and Lexi...

Jabberwocky Wed Sep 07, 2011 9:06 pm

Colin:"I care enough to know that doing anything would just distance them from me more!"

Cryonix Wed Sep 07, 2011 9:10 pm

Carmella: Colin.....we have to save them. We have to. We can't let them win....I'm not going to let them. I need you, Colin. I need you.....

....or I need Lucian. One or the other.

Jabberwocky Wed Sep 07, 2011 9:14 pm

Colin goes stone dead silent

Colin:"...........................................What?"

Cryonix Wed Sep 07, 2011 9:16 pm

Carmella: ...Lillith and I have been talking for months. Three to four hours a day. She's.....curious...about out dilemma, Colin.

Jabberwocky Wed Sep 07, 2011 9:21 pm

Colin lets out an audible groan

Colin:"You have to be kidding...Carmella, I..."

he sighs

"How the hell did you meet her?"

Cryonix Wed Sep 07, 2011 9:31 pm

Carmella: We met at a party in Bermuda. I....needed to get away for a while after Micah chose that ......person....to be with.

Jabberwocky Wed Sep 07, 2011 9:32 pm

Colin:"Was this before or after they kidnapped me and my fiance, taking us to his estate in Bermuda, Carmella?"

Cryonix Wed Sep 07, 2011 9:35 pm

Carmella: After, Colin. She was....rather truthful with me....about everything.

Inside, Alexis gets her second of four shots from the nurse. It burns a bit...but dies down after a few seconds....

Nurse: Only two more to go, hon.

Pockets Wed Sep 07, 2011 9:37 pm

Alexis: Ah...ow! Are they going to keep getting worse like that?

Jabberwocky Wed Sep 07, 2011 9:38 pm

Colin:"Truthful?...Okay oblige me, this I feel I need to hear"

Cryonix Wed Sep 07, 2011 9:42 pm

Carmella: She told me she...desired you...and that you worked for her dad. She also told me her dad was powerful enough to actually take on the Edwards...if need be. She wants to see you happy, Colin. You and your sister....and she really wants to meet Micah. "He sounds delightful," she said.
