The Blue Note

Daniel off bended knee and looks at a smiling Lauren.

Sharon "What in the hell is the matter with you? Are you drunk again? Isn't that how you lost your son in the first place?"

Lauren "Sharon you know nothing about me. Look at what you did to Kevin. You had an affair with Dondre."

Sharon

"You don't know what you're talking about." She says stepping in front of Lauren and getting in her face.

"I never cheated on Kevin and don't you ever throw him in my face ever again! Or next time you'll be getting some beer thrown on you. Bitch because you look thirsty.You really have no class you know that?"

Lauren

"First Kevin, his half brother Dondre, and even their sister Mona. Talk about no class. You look like the town slut." Sharon socks Lauren in the jaw. Lauren falls to the ground.

Daniel

"Lauren you really cross the line. I have never seen you act this way. Stay out of my way and out of our lives. I have moved on with Sharon. I love her now."

Lauren

"Daniel I love you. We belong together. We have been through so much together. YOU have put me through so much! You seem to forget all the pain you caused me. Working with Tyler doing drugs, stealing from me, hitting me."

Daniel

"I am not doing this here."

Lauren

"That's the kind of man you want now Sharon? An ex meth head who hits the woman he claims he loves."

Daniel

"I'm a different man now."

Lauren

"I love you Daniel, and I will not let you two be together. Too much has been taken from me and I will not lose any more. The good guys always finishes last."

Sharon

"You starting to sound like your sister Ashley."

Lauren

"I have been through too much to lose Daniel to you. I love him. If it wasn't for Daniel I would have never have known Ty in the first place. You did this to me Daniel. You set all this into motion."

Daniel, realizing Lauren is right, remembering the love they once shared, is a bit much for him at the moment. He grabs Sharon's hand and they walk out the Blue Note.

Lauren wipes tears from her eyes. She looks around and sees the patrons looking at the scene she just caused.

Lauren

"I will not let Daniel be with Sharon and I will get my son back." She says leaving her restaurant.

"What areyou doing here?"

Jasmine "I'm here to get you together. Look at your house. It's mess!! When was the last time you cleaned up around here? What if Miss Patti came over and saw this?"

Ria

"I don't give no damn! First of all this is my damn house. If I don't want to clean my sh!t up then I am not going to. I pay the bills here. What the hell is the matter with you coming up in my house like this talking to me like you crazy? Bitch, don't get me started."

Jasmine smiles at her and walks over and gives her a hug. Ria returns the hug, feeling comfort in her sister's arms.

Ria

"Jazzy I am so sorry."

Jasmine

"It's ok. I am glad. It shows me I have not really lost you." They both pull back. Ria istrying to fight back tears and she turns away from Jasmine.

Jasmine

"It's ok.You don't have to hide it. I am here for you. Let it out."

Ria

"No damn it. I am strong. I am Ria Winters. I am a dickologist. I don't take no mess.You will never see me crying."

Jasmine spins Ria around and sees the tears streaming down her face.

Jasmine holds her once more.

Ria, whaling

"I'm so scared Jazzy. I have never been so scared in my life. This kind of thing isn't supposed to happen to me."

Jasmine

"Ria,breast cancer doesn't discriminate."

Ria

"I said not me! That's how it should be. What if I have to cut my tits off? What man is going to want me?"

Jasmine

"OH Ria,it's not about a man. Jesus Christ your life is in jeopardy."

Ria

"You are missing the point. I'm not getting any younger. I want a husband and kids. I want a family. What man is going to want me with no tits? Hell Rufus will have bigger tits than me. The hell is going on?"

Jasmine

"I hate to say it but you could have had that with Karim."

Ria

"I know.But I messed that up. I was dumb, and horny."

Jasmine

"What about Kiko?"

Ria

"How can you even suggest him after what he did to me? He nearly killed me. He only wants me now out of pity. I am better than that. I will never be desperate for no piece of dick. I'm not that kind of girl. SO what I had many men in my bed,but it doesn't mean I am desperate. Hell to the no. Never. Kiko lucky I don't file some sort of charges against him."

Jasmine

"Let's just focus on you. I am here for you and will be by your side through this whole ordeal. We need to get this place cleaned up. Go in there and get dolled up while I clean up some in here. We are going out. I got a surprise for you."

Ria

Eww! Out with you!? Where the hell we going to the library? That's your idea of a goodtime."

Jasmine

"And I gota good job too. And you my dear?"

Ria

"I hate you bitch." They both laugh and hug each other one more time as Ria goes to get cleaned up and Jasmine begins to clean up her sisters house.

On the outskirts of Pasadena, For the Birds Mental Rehabilitation CentreKarim approaches Nurse Maxine who is working the unit.

Karim "I'm here to see my mother."

Maxine "Of Course,she's in her room. We had to put another restraint on her so please don't bealarmed."

Karim

"SO I am to assume she was acting out again?"

Maxine

"Yes Mr.Williams. It was a serious episode."

Karim

"Do you think she will ever get better?"

Maxine

"I'm just a nurse here. I know she has a long road ahead of her. She's going to be in here for a while longer."

Karim

"Thank you Maxine." Maxine buzzes Karim back. Karim takes a deep breath, preparing himself to deal with his mothers outrageous antics. He walks in her room and sees her in a straight jacket rocking back and forth on the bed. He sits on the bed with her. She doesn't even acknowledge his presence. Karim thinks it's strange and he also think it's strange the way she is rocking back and forth on the bed, as he has never seen her do this. He has seen his mother do a many crazy things but his is a new low.

Karim

"Mother,are you ok?"

Sister Patterson keeps rocking, with a tear forming in her eye. He reaches out and touches her. She stops rocking and finally looks at her son.

Karim

"Are you ok?"

Sister Patterson "Why does it matter? No one will believe me any way. Every one thinks I'm crazy. And why do you even care? You hate me right?"

Karim

"Wow. I've never heard you make so much sense before. I guess this place is really doing you some good."

Sister Patterson,tears running down her face,

"I guess."

Karim

"I can tell something is wrong. Something is very off. You're not acting like yourself."

Sister Patterson stares into space and has a flashback of last night when an evil sprit appeared to her. She then also remembers seeing her dead husband, chain up and burned from his car accident.

"How'd you expect me to act? You thought I was going to put on a show huh?"

Karim

"I did."

Sister Patterson

"There's no reason. No one is going to help me. I am going to die and no one cares. In fact all of Pasadena will be happy. "

Karim

"Stop talking like that. No one is out to get you."

Sister Patterson

"I told you, you wouldn't believe me. So today is the last day I am using words. I have to defend myself and that's exactly what I plan to do. Then I will show all of yens that I was telling the truth because that's all I know how to do. I am Sister Patterson damn it!"

Karim

"Mother please don't start. We were doing good."

Sister Patterson

"You're working with devil. You're working against me. That's it! I've had it! Today is the last day I am using words. I will show you action. I will show you the truth. So no more. You won't hear another word out of me. But I do have to ask, why are you even here in the first place?"

Karim

"Well, Ithink you should know that-" Karim pauses and looks away. He stands up and begins to walk away from his mother not knowing how his mom is going to react to his news. He braces himself.

Sister Patterson

"Tell meboy! I got a battle I have to prepare. I don't have time for your mess."

Karim turns to her

"Lauren had Kevin's child!"

Sister Patterson

"A who and what now?"

Karim

"It seems Lauren and Kevin had a one night stand and she bore his child."

Sister Patterson

"The only Lauren I know is the slut that we buried. I spoke at her funeral service."

Karim

"Yes, that's her. Turns out she didn't die. She faked her death because "Ty" had a hit out on her. During that time she had Kevin's child."

Sister Patterson

"Oh God."She begins to rock back and forth again.

"Oh my God NO!" She has tears free flowing from her eyes

"My baby,..My son lives on. Oh my Kevin. Oh my God."

Karim

"Yes it's a blessing."

Sister Patterson

"Oh Karim you have to get me out of here. I must see my little Kevin. I am not going to let that slut raise Kevin's child. God give me strength to break out of this devilish jacket."

Karim

"Mom relax.I got things under control."

Sister Patterson

"And that means what boy?"

Karim

"I have petitioned the courts for sole custody of this child. I don't want Lauren raising him either. She's unfit. Mother the baby is sick. He has fetal alcohol syndrome."

Sister Patterson screams, then she cries once more.

"No my God no! Not my grand baby. How could you do this to me God? And you expect me tofight his upcoming battle for you. I think not. That poor baby. Lauren better be lucky the devil has me in here. Cause lord knows what I am going to do to her when I see that slut. Ill kill her with my bare hands."

Karim

"Mother,are you serious? What is going on? I thought you were a child of God. Isn't that what you are always preaching?"

Sister Patterson

"No more. I am done with that. I am done with God. God has let me down so many times. Now he wants me to fight this evil battle that has been brewing in this hospital. For what? I am tired. I give up the devil wins. Karim I can't fight any more if no one believes in me. I'm here because the state thinks I'm crazy. Maybe I am. Maybe what I saw last night was all in my head. I just know one thing. I renounce God!"

Karim is stunned and speechless. He stands up starring at his mother.

"What is this place doing to you? You're scarring me."

Sister Patterson

"Good, be scared. I am too. I don't know what's going to happen but Karim if you don't know anything else. Just know I love you son. I never meant to hurt anyone. And you tell Lauren, If I am blessed enough to make it out of here, I am going to kill her! Now leave me be my son. I have a lot to think about."

Karim is almost frozen in shock. He can't believe he is hearing these words come from his mother's so called holy mouth. In all the years he's been alive, the mighty Sister Patterson has always been about the lord. But no more. That has changed. Karim Leaves her room with a puzzled look on his face. He stops at the nurse station and looks at Maxine

Karim

"I don't know what you guys are doing to her or what drugs you are giving her, but I don't like it. She is talking crazy."

Maxine

"Oh honey I know. She was talking crazy last night." Karim just leaves alarmed over his mother latest antics.

"Something is not right." Karim bumps right his father, DC in the parking lot.

DC "Son, you look worried. Is it something about your mother?"

Karim

" I was fine until I saw you."

DC

"At least you're not drinking."

Karim

"Yet. Now get the hell out my way."

DC

"You're just going to drink your life away?"

Karim

"Go to hell DC!"

DC

"It's father to you son. Where's my damn respect?"

Karim

"With the last bucket of chicken you ate."

DC

"So you came here to see your mother. So that means you forgive her. You can forgive her but not me? That's dirty you know."

Karim

"Oh yea? Get over it Donald. Was it dirty when you cheated on your wife with your brother'swife, breaking up two happy homes in the process? Kiko told me about you being his father. What a shame. Kiko is a good man and for him to have you as a father. What a complete embarrassment."

DC punches Karim in the face.

Karim rubbing his jaw,

"Son of abitch! Don't you ever do that sh!t to me again you fu(king fat ass bastard ! We'll never be close! We will never have a relationship. So you can stop wasting your time. You are the enemy and that's how I'll always see you. I hope you die." Karim storms off.

DC

"You're going to be sorry son ! I told you I'm a boss. And you will respect me damn it. Wait until you see what I do next." DC walks into the hospital to see Lynn. DC approaches Nurse Maxine.

DC

"I'm here to see my wife."

"Uhm hmm, I thought I told you, you were on the no visitors list." She says pushing up her glasses and looking at him more intently.

DC

"See something you like miss lady?"

Maxine

"No Mr.Williams. I am doing my job and you seem to want to make that difficult for me."

DC

"Not at all. Why do you have such an attitude?"

Maxine

"There's no attitude here. I have a lot of work to do. And you are holding up with this non-sense.I told you the last time you came in here you were not allowed to see Lynn."

DC

"You must not got a man do you?"

Maxine

"Excuse me? If I weren't at work I would slap the taste out of your mouth. Where do you get off talking to me like that?"

DC

"I like your attitude. I love a sassy woman."

Maxine

"I'm about to go oops up side your head if you don't get out of here."

DC

"Check that list again. My son Kiko has granted me permissions to see Lynn."

Maxine, eyeballing DC

"Uhm hmm"She says checking the computer file.

"Well I see Kiko did change the list. You are now on it."

DC

"Thank you.Was that so hard?"

Maxine

"No it wasn't but you could have saved us all this ring a maroe by telling me from the start of this conversation that the list was changed or has been updated. I don't have time for non-sense Mr. Williams. Next time, I urge you to get to the damn point!"

DC

" I really am digging you miss lady. You haven't seen the last of me."

Maxine

"I don't see how that is possible when your (using air quotes) "wife" is in that room. Now be gone Mr. Williams."

DC enters the double doors as Nurse Maxine buzzes him back. He walks in Lynn's room. He sees her for the first time in over 25 years. He falls to his knees with tears in his eyes

DC

"Oh Lynn, what happened to you? How did you end up here?"

Lynn, who was in her rocking chair looking out the window looks at DC as he falls to the ground. She wipes a tear from her eye as it falls down her face.

Lynn

"Slut whore Bitch!"

DC

"Say what?"He gets closer to Lynn

Lynn

"You did this to me you bastard! Your affair with that SLUT WHORE BITCH PATTERSON!"

DC

"Lynn I am so sorry. I was a different man back than. I wasn't ready to be a father or a family man."

Lynn

"Then why did you have 3 kids with me?"

DC

"Three? What do you mean? We had two boys. Don Jr and Dondre."

Lynn

"Don Jr changed his name."

DC

"I know to some weird ass Kiko name .He thinks he's in China or something. A damn Kiko.What is a Kiko that's what I like to know. Where he got that I'll never know. "

Lynn

"We have adaughter too. I was pregnant when I first came in here. They took the baby from me."

DC

"Oh my god,I have even more kids out there. I got super sperm. Dondre, Mona, Kiko, Karim and Kevin. Now I have one more. This is unbelievable. I can't believe I never knew this. Women sure do like to keep things from me. Where is she?"

Lynn

"She's right here in Pasadena. "

DC

"Who is it?Who is our daughter? Do I already know her?"

Lynn

"You sure do! Our daughter is right here in Pasadena. She's been here the whole time."

DC is stunned. Who is DC and Lynn's missing daughter?
