From: bv143@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (T.A. Murray) Subject: PC: Friday Update - 4/24/98 Date: 4 May 1998 07:09:19 GMT Port Charles - Friday Update - April 24th 1998 (posted and e-mail) PORT CHARLES - FELICIA'S INVESTIGATION - PART III (This month we've asked Felicia to help us out with our updates, by doing a little investigating. Here's her report, and if you'd like to see it as a web page, complete with pictures and sounds go to http://members.aol.com/ninOtchka/felicia.htm.) Kevin got a phone call from Mac, telling him that whoever killed Devlin copied the murder from Kevin's book. He was stabbed with a fountain pen right through the heart. Julie and Frank were at the police station where she'd been taken in for questioning. Frank was angry that she was considered a suspect. Garcia suggested that they were trying to clear Julie. He asked her if she had any ideas. She suggested they talk to Eve Lambert because Eve had all the dirty little secrets on Julie's father. Eve and Scott were in the Scanlon kitchen. He held out the bracelet he found at the murder scene. He asked her why he found it by Devlin's dead body . Eve seemed shocked. She had no idea. She was nowhere near the lab. Scott asked how the fight with Devlin got started. She told him how Devlin had taken her into the empty patient room and they had argued over the harassment suit and he threatened her. Eve said, "Same old story." Scott reminded her. "He punched you. Why didn't you call the police." Eve said she didn't because she hit Devlin first and didn't want him pressing charges. Scott wondered how her bracelet ended up in the Lab if the fight was in a patient room. Eve didn't know. She guessed that Devlin might have picked it up after the fight intending to give it back to her or give it to his next girlfriend. She asked Scott to believe she was nowhere near the lab. She would never lie to him. Scott said he thought she was holding something back. Then she pointed out that Scotty was furious with Devlin when he went off to find him. She asked if he did find him, obviously implying that Scott might have killed him. Scott said he did, but Devlin was already dead. She said she had to take his word for that, just like he had to take hers. Scott granted her that point. He suggested that they were both stressed. He hugged her. He worried that the day had been tough on her. She said she no longer cared about Devlin, but that she didn't kill him. Scott claimed to believe her. They kiss and decide to go upstairs and see her room. At the Lighthouse Lucy was trying to give Kevin a massage, but he was still upset over Mac's news. "It just makes me sick that there's a murderer out there getting ideas about how to kill from my book." Lucy insisted that it wasn't his fault that the murderer lacked originality. Dead is dead and it doesn't matter how it happened. He didn't think the PCPD would see it that way. The massage wasn't working so Lucy used a different tactic. They kissed. They were interrupted by the phone ringing. It was a reporter who wanted a quote. Kevin said that "My book is fiction!" and slammed down the phone. "The sharks are circling." Julie and Frank came into the Scanlon kitchen. They told Joe that Garcia thinks Julie killed her father. Frank was angry, but Julie said Garcia was only doing his job. Joe wondered why they'd even think Julie was a suspect. Julie said it was because she had a big argument with her father that day. Julie felt bad that her last words to him were that he should rot in hell. Frank said she was right to be angry. Joe wanted to know what he missed. Julie told him her father had an affair with her brother's girlfriend andthen Buddy killed himself two days later. Joe guessed that she must have been furious. She said that she ripped into him like she never had before. She realized how damning her words were and hastily added, "Oh, but I didn't. I didn't!" Frank said it was a big jump from being angry to murder. Julie worried that they wouldn't look for the real killer if they suspected her. Frank suggested she get a good attorney before she talked to the police again. Joe said that Scott Baldwin was an amazing lawyer. (Well, as a former client, I don't think I can give him a reference. I ended up in a loony bin.) Joe offered to get his number. (No need. He was right upstairs.) Eve and Scott were upstairs in her bed. (Again for privacy's sake I won't go into details.) Scott wondered why Chris had given Eve an alibi. Scott wanted to know if the alibi was true. Eve reminded him they're not in court. He didn't let it go. "Was Chris Ramsey there when you had the fight or not?" She admitted that he wasn't. She said Chris surprised her with the alibi and she was so relieved to be out of the hot seat that she didn't contradict him. Scott suggested that she should tell the cops. Eve didn't think that she should change her story at this point. Scott said that impeding a murder investigation is not smart. She pointed out that finding the body, removing evidence and not telling the police wasn't smart either. He said it was different because he was trying to protect her. She said that she didn't need his protection unless, he thought she did it. (Obviously Scott does think she did it, and there is some evidence to support that, however, he could just have easily done it himself.) The following morning Lucy and Kevin were in the Lighthouse reading the newspaper. Kevin told Lucy that the papers have already found out about the murder weapon. He showed her the headline. "Killer Goes by the Book." Lucy wondered if they could really say that. Kevin told her, "Well, according to that wacky first amendment they can." Kevin read further details. Kevin thought that anybody who read the article would think he killed Devlin. Karen, Frank and Lark were in the Scanlon kitchen. Karen had to leave for work. Frank asked if Lark had managed to get his medication from the Lab. Yes, she admitted, she had it upstairs. He asked what time she was in the lab and if she had seen anything. Lark remembered seeing Scott picking up Eve's bracelet next to the dead body, but didn't tell Frank. She told him the lab was empty. He doesn't believe her. (So what else did Lark see? Was Devlin dead or alive when she hid herself in that closet?) Scott met Julie in the hospital lounge at her request. She told him the police wanted to question her and she needed a lawyer. Scott asked if the fact that he didn't care for her father would bother her. (No, but maybe the fact that you're hiding evidence that implicates your girlfriend, would. The words "conflict of interest" ring a bell?) She said it didn't bother her, if it didn't bother him. Scott wanted to ask her a couple of questions. Did she have an alibi? She had gone to see a patient who wasn't there. No alibi. Did she see anything the day of the murder that might be helpful. No. She was so upset about the Alison thing she didn't notice anything else. She had gone over to the Recovery Room and met Frank. They noticed the commotion and went back to the hospital. Julie told Scott the police had asked her for fingerprints and a hair sample. Scott said she should give them to avoid the appearance of guilt. She agreed and they left for the police station. (So, it looks like Frank didn't have an alibi either.) Eve walked into the on-call room to confront Chris. She wanted to know if he was setting her up by lying about being there when she and Devlin fought. Chris said he was trying to help. She didn't believe him and he suggested that he needed and alibi too, after all he had slept with the guy's wife. He said that they could scratch each other's backs. Eve still didn't trust him. "Did you kill him," she asked. "No," after a pause, he asked if she killed Devlin. She said, "No, I didn't. And if you're so innocent, you won't mind if I go to the police and tell them what really happened." He did mind. Eve wanted a good reason why she shouldn't. He said everyone blamed him for everything. He didn't want a murder pinned on him. He said that she needed an alibi more than he did. "You're the ex-mistress who everybody knows had a knock down drag out fight with the dearly departed before he got smoked with a fountain pen." Eve looked worried. (Well, he sure is acting suspicious.) At the lighthouse Lucy was going over Kevin's alibi. "First you were with me and then you were with Gail, right?" Kevin wanted to know why she was trying to come with an alibi for him. Lucy wanted to be prepared in case Garcia came by. Kevin got it. "You mean you want us to have our stories straight." Kevin told her that he had his session with Gail and then he spent he didn't know how long looking for Victor. Lucy asked if he had seen anybody. He had spoken to the lab tech and didn't remember seeing anyone until he found her at the nurses' station. (Does he mean he doesn't remember seeing anyone or he doesn't remember anything at all? Could be a blackout.) Lucy pointed out that he didn't really have an alibi. Lucy veered to another suspect. "Doc, does it worry you at all that when we found Victor he had blood all over the side of his shirt?" Kevin asked if she thought that Victor had done it. Scott was waiting for Julie at the police station when Eve walked in. She had a message from Garcia calling her in. She asked what he was doing there. Scott told her he was representing Julie, but wanted to know Eve needed a lawyer. She said that she didn't need a lawyer who thinks she's a murderer. She wanted to know if he intended to tell the police about the bracelet. He was about to tell her when Garcia brought Julie out of the interrogation room. Scott asked how it went, and Julie said that now she knows how a lab rat feels. (Oh good, now she and Frank both know how it feels.) Instead of questioning Eve next, Garcia picks on Scott. He recalled that Bennett had given evidence against Scott during the kidnapping trial. Scott refuted that. "Everybody in town testified against me and they're all alive. Garcia asked point blank where he was during the murder. Scott wanted to know if he was being interrogate. They go into the interrogation room. Eve wondered what Scott would say about the bracelet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX * !!
