From: bv143@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (T.A. Murray) Subject: PC: Friday Update - 5/1/98 Date: 4 May 1998 07:11:18 GMT Port Charles - Friday Update - April 24th 1998 (posted and e-mail) PORT CHARLES - FELICIA'S INVESTIGATION - PART IV (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.) Scott, Frank and Julie discussed her situation in the court room after bail had been denied. Julie was still reeling from the verdict. She told Scott she couldn't stay in jail. "I feel like I'm suffocating in there." Scott told her not to panic and that they had plenty of options. He had decided to talk to Dara. Frank was irate. He was not going to let them railroad Julie. Scott left to look for Dara and ran into Eve. Eve asked how Julie was. Scott told her Julie was panicky. "I'd do anything to stay out of jail," Eve sympathized. He looked at her with suspicion and then went off to find Dara. She was in the hall. Scott asked her to go easy on Julie. Dara was adamant. Julie wasn't going anywhere. She was a flight risk. Dara had her reasons. Scott could guess what they might be. "Perhaps because you blew the Tony Jones' case and you don't want anyone to think you've gone soft?" Dara said he could believe whatever he wanted. She had an eyewitness. Julie kissed Frank goodbye as Scott walked into the courtroom after his talk with Dara. Scott told Julie the bad news. There was a witness. Scott wanted to know if Julie had really told him everything. Julie was mystified. Whoever the witness was must have lied. Scott said that as her attorney he'd defend her no matter what. Julie was not filled with confidence by his attitude. If her lawyer thought she did it then everyone else would too and no one would look for the real killer. Chris walked in on Eve in the Lab and asked the question of the day, "How's Julie doing?" Eve told him Julie had been denied bail. "Last time I saw her she looked like a deer caught in the headlights, wondering how the hell she got there." Chris thought it was too bad Julie didn't have an alibi. Eve agreed, "Alibis are good things." Eve asked what Chris was doing there. Chris missed her at the hospital and came over for some banter. She told him that was all he was getting. "Hope springs eternal," he said. "So does your ego," she teased. He said the only reason she had dumped him for Baldwin was Scott's money. Lucy lurked in the doorway. As Lucy eavesdropped Eve told Chris he was just jealous. They continued flirting. Eve said Chris was cute in a sleazy way, but he'd never have enough money to get her. Chris proposed that Eve marry Scott and then keep him on the side. "The enormity of your ego is just over-whelming," Eve told Chris. "You should try the rest of me," he said and kissed her playfully. Lucy walked in at this point, cleared her throat and got a reaction from Chris. Lucy asked if Scott knew he was paying her to kiss a man on company time. "This is not a man," said Eve. "It's just Chris." Lucy told Eve she was there to pick up her keys. Eve gave them to her. Chris said he had to get back to the hospital. Lucy asked if Chris would give her a lift. He agreed. Eve told Lucy to knock next time. Lucy advised her to keep the door closed since next time it might be Scott. Dara and Garcia had Frank come into the police station. Garcia said that he thought Frank would volunteer any information he had on the case willingly. All Frank volunteered was that Julie hadn't done it. Dara told him they needed his permission to interview an eyewitness. Frank wanted to know why they needed his permission. Garcia had Lark brought in. "I'm so sorry, Frank" she told him. "You're the witness?" said Frank. At the Hospital Nurses' Station, Lucy asked Chris if he thought Julie committed the murder. Chris said he'd wait for the jury verdict. She advised him to be careful because there was a murderer roaming around. "I don't know that," he told her. Lucy said she knew it wasn't Julie. She mentioned how lucky it was for Eve that she had Chris for an alibi. Without the alibi anyone would believe Eve had done it. Chris pointed out that Eve had been with him. Lucy asked if Chris had ever noticed that Eve had a bad temper during the time they lived together. Chris never noticed it. "You're awfully curious, Miss Coe. You don't like Eve much do you?" Lucy didn't admit to that. She said she was just concerned that there was a killer on the loose. "You better watch your back Dr. Ramsey. Ta." She walked away. A nurse told Chris he had a phone call. It was the police. They wanted to question him. Scott went to the lab to tell Eve that she'd been cleared of all suspicion of murder. Eve pointed out that he was the only one who suspected her. He thought he'd had evidence. Eve asked what changed his mind. The eyewitness that saw Julie do it. Eve was stunned. Scott told her Julie would get the best defense. Eve asked why he had come over in person to tell her this. Scott tried to kiss her, but she pulled away. He had been suspecting her of something very terrible. Scott offered to make it up to her and she let him kiss her, etc. Lark sat in the interrogation room as Dara explained to Frank that she was the eyewitness. Frank asked to speak to Lark privately. After Garcia and Dara left, Frank had a heart to heart with his ward. He asked her to tell him again what had happened. She described Julie murdering her father and told Frank how scared she had been. Frank believed she was still scared that Julie would throw her out. Frank assured Lark that would never happen. He knew she was lying about Julie. He instructed her to tell Garcia that so they could go home. Lucy discussed the Nurses' Ball with Audrey at the Nurses' Station as Grace stood near by. Audrey agreed absently to all Lucy suggestions. After Lucy had gotten a promise from them both to appear at the Ball, she went on to her new favorite subject. Did they think Julie did it? Grace said she wasn't qualified to second guess the cops and changed the subject. What did Audrey think she should do with Dr. Devlin's pile of mail? Audrey advised her to send it to Garcia. Lucy had other ideas. Once Audrey and Grace had left her alone she grabbed the stack of letters. Frank and Lark have just informed Dara that she no longer has a star witness. Dara couldn't believe that Lark would lie about it. Frank told them that Lark had been under a lot of stress. Dara suggested that Lark should be put in jail. Frank explained further. Lark had realized her mistake ant wanted to clear things up. Garcia wanted to hear Lark say so. She said Frank had told the truth and sometimes she became confused. "You put her up to this," Dara said to Frank. "Not true," Frank answered and now it's a matter of public record that Lark has recanted and they can't use her in court. Frank told them to leave his ward alone and he and Lark left. In the lab the phone rang, interrupting Scott and Eve in mid-frolic. Scott answered it. "Hello. You're kidding. All right," he said and hung up. Good news for Julie; bad news for Eve. No eyewitness. At the police station Garcia questioned Chris. Why had Devlin deposited $20,000 into Chris' account on the day of the murder? Chris thought for a moment. "Oh, that." Chris said. "A painting." Chris told Garcia that he was an art collector and that Devlin was buying a painting from him. Chris had no receipt because it was an informal arrangement. Garcia asked why Chris hadn't mentioned this before. Dr. Devlin had died before he took possession of the painting. Chris claimed he had intended to give it to Julie but when she was arrested thought to keep both. Garcia told him to reconsider. "I will. I'm sorry. I'll take your advice. Have a good day, "Chris said and left worried. In the hospital hallway Lucy perused Devlin's mail. "Oh me oh my oh. Bingo!" said Lucy as she read one of the letter. (Lucy is not on my suspect list, but sometimes I wish she were.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX * !!
