Rachel and Carl look at the paper as Bob walks away.

Carl: It’s true.

Michele: What’s true?

Rachel: You are really Michele.

Michele: Now can you take me home?

Rachel straddles Michele’s hair.

Rachel: I think we’ve all had a long night. Let’s get a couple of rooms at the Lakeview and we’ll head to Bay City in the morning.

Michele: What if my great-grandfather finds us?

Rachel: He’s not gonna do anything. I won’t let him.

MONTICELLO POLICE STATION - Detective Jack Snyder walks in the precinct and Detective Casey Stoner greets him.

Jack: Detective?

Casey: We got her.

Jack: Where is Margaret?

Casey turns around and shows Jack where she is. Margaret is sitting handcuffed to a desk.

Casey: She was about to inject Lisa McCleary with a strong sedative when we stopped her.

Jack: Where is Lisa?

Casey: She’s unconscious. She can’t answer any questions, but she’s in a safe place now.

The detectives turn their attention to Margaret Allen.

Casey: You can question her if you want.

Jack: I don’t want to intrude on your jurisdiction.

Casey: It’s no problem. The suspect hasn’t been too cooperative.

Margaret: Don’t I get a phone call? I get one phone call.

Jack: You’re gonna call your boss?

Margaret: I hope you don’t think I’m gonna give him up because I’m not. I’m not saying a word without my attorney present.

Jack: Go ahead . Make your call.

The three stare at each other.

Margaret: May I have some privacy please?

BAY CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT - Toni is on the phone with her back turned to the door with Etta Mae next to her.

Toni: He told me to call you. How fast can you get there? Okay. You can’t tell anyone that about this. Thank you.

Etta Mae: Who was that?

Toni: Ma we’re gonna get KC out of there.

Etta Mae: You can’t guarantee that.

Toni: Nothing in life is mama, but I’m doing everything I can.

Etta Mae: Get my granddaughter back.

Toni: And she’s my daughter. We’re gonna get her back. I promise.

Toni takes a key off of her key ring.

Toni: Go to my house and get some rest. I will be in touch as soon as I hear something. I’ll walk you out.

Toni walks Etta Mae to the front, and Allen walks in.

Allen: Toni we gotta talk right now. Please.

Etta Mae: Baby you ain’t gotta say nothing…

Toni: No mama. We have to talk. It’s long overdue.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CAVANAUGH CLINIC - Reginald comes up to KC, who is still bound and gagged. He takes the gag off, and unties her. Reginald walks back to his desk, sits down, and watches as KC makes a run for the door, but can’t get out.

Reginald: As you’ve just figured out, the door’s locked.

K.C.: Let me out of here….please.

Reginald: Why are you so quick to leave? Don’t you wanna get to know your great grandfather? K.C.: What the hell are you talking about?

Reginald: I suppose Toni and Etta Mae never told you. We’re family.

K.C. gives Reginald a puzzling look as Reginald shoots a smug smile back.

PART 2

LAKEVIEW HOTEL - Rachel, dressed in a white nightgown, and Carl, wearing gray silk pajamas, are in their room. Rachel is at the vanity mirror brushing her hair while Carl lies across the bed, gazing at his wife.

Carl: Did I ever tell you?

Rachel: Tell me what honey?

Carl: I absolutely adore the way you brush your hair.

Rachel chuckles.

Rachel: After all these years you still make me blush.

Carl: I guess I always thought you were beautiful.

Rachel: Did you now? When did this begin?

Rachel puts the brush down, and walks to the bed. Carl moves over to the left side of the bed, and gets under the covers. Rachel gets under the covers on the right side. Carl wraps his arms around her, and Rachel snuggles comfortably in them.

Carl: Uh I don’t know.

Rachel: Oh you know. You just don’t wanna tell me.

Carl: I’m not afraid to tell you. You know how beautiful you are.

Rachel: I know that, but it does help to hear it from my husband.

Carl: And you’re gonna hear it for the rest of your life.

Rachel: Why don’t you show me how beautiful you think I am?

As Carl gets ready to kiss Rachel, someone knocks on the door.

Rachel: Did you call room service honey?

Carl: No.

Suddenly, they hear Michele as she knocks.

Michele: Mr. and Mrs. Hutchins it’s Michele!

Rachel and Carl look at each other with waiting for the other to get the door, and a bit frustrated as their attempt to make love is interrupted. Rachel puts on a terrycloth robe and opens the door.

Rachel: Michele honey are you okay?

Michele: No. I couldn’t sleep. Can I come in?

Rachel: Um...uh...sure. Come on in.

Michele walks in and notices Carl, and then makes a realization.

Michele: Oh...Oh I’m so sorry.

Carl: No my dear it’s okay.

Rachel: Carl’s right. You’ve been through a terrible ordeal. Of course you can stay honey.

Michele: I’m afraid.

Rachel: Of what?

Michele: That Reginald is gonn try to take me away again. I heard he tried to kidnap my sister.

Rachel and Carl look at each other wondering whether they should tell Michele what Reginald did.

Rachel: Hey are you hungry? I can call room service.

Michele: I’m not hungry. Did Reginald try to kidnap my sister?

Rachel: Yes...yes he did.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MONTICELLO POLICE STATION - Jack walks up to Margaret.

Jack: Are you done?

Margaret: Yes I’m done. My attorney should be showing up soon.

Jack: In the meantime we’re gonna hold you. I’m gonna call Casey.

Margaret: After my lawyer gets here, I’ll tell you where my boss is. Well, there she is.

A woman with red high heeled shoes, and a matching red sparkled dress, sashays into the precinct.

Margaret: Your highness. It’s a honor to be graced with your presence.

Jack: Are you an attorney or royalty?

Margaret: Both. She’s not only my attorney, she’s the queen. Pay your respects!

The woman is Cecile DePouglinac.

Cecile: You don’t know who I am?

Jack: Um...no.

Margaret: You must live under a rock detective.

Cecile: I am the Queen of Tanquir. It’s not too far from Montega. Sierra and I have fostered a great working relationship between our two countries.

Jack: Sierra Montgomery?

Cecile: Yeah duh.

Margaret: I will tell them where my boss is.

Cecile: No need for you to do that. I’ve already called the police, and they’ll be picking him up any minute now.

Jack: Not so fast. How am I gonna verify who you are?

Casey walks up to them.

Casey: I’ve made all the phone calls. It checks out. She is who she says she is, and I’ve got men on the way to the Cavanaugh Clinic to pick up Reginald Love now.

Cecile smiles with apparent victory.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toni shuts her office door after Allen enters.

Allen: Have you heard anything?

Toni: No, but we both know you’re not here to talk about the kidnapping.

Allen: I’m here to talk about K.C.

Toni: Why? You don’t know about anything about her!

Allen: Toni you dont’ have to be hostile toward me.

Toni: Yes I do! You left our marriage because you wanted to find your mother. I was devastated. I had to stay with my mother because of what you did!

Allen: I thought you understood. I thought I had a lead on Nicole.

Toni: Instead you found your bastard of a grandfather, and he made you his lackey just like he did to his own son.

Allen: He said he knew where my mother was.

Toni: Oh yeah the same woman he was keeping locked up at Pinehaven! He used it against you! You left your family behind, and I’m still mad as hell about it!

Toni’s eyes being to well up with anger.

Allen: Toni I am so sorry for hurting you, but you knew I grew up in boarding schools, and then in the Montgomery’s house with Priscilla. I needed a sense of family.

Toni: I was your family. We were your family.

Allen: We? Who else? You said you lost our baby.

Toni: I lied.

Allen: You what?

Toni: I lied Allen! I had our baby, and now your sadistic, crazy ass grandfather has her!

Allen is shell shocked and his eyes are welling up.

Allen: That girl...K.C. I saw you in the Center with..she’s our daughter?

Toni: And if we don’t find Reginald, we might never see her again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

K.C.: What the hell are you talking about? I don’t know you.

Reginald: No you don’t know me.

K.C.: I’ve heard of you, here and there.

Reginald: Apparently, you haven’t heard the truth either.

K.C.: The truth from whom?

Reginald: Your mother.

K.C.: What would my mother lie to me about?

Reginald: You young people need everything spelled out for you huh. I often had to do that with your cousins Bridget and Michele.

K.C.: What is in this for you? Why are you all mysterious? Just ell me. What did my mother and my sister not tell me?

Reginald: You see that’s what they didn’t tell you. Your mother and your sister lied to you. They’re not your mother and your sister.

K.C.: What? You’re deranged. You’re crazy, now let me the hell out of here!

The Monticello police kick the door in with their guns drawn. Reginald stands up, puts his hands where the officers can see them, and smiles.

Reginald: Oh...Monticello Police. I’ve been expecting you.
