Mac rushed forward, "Maxie where have you been? We have been so worried about you. How could you miss the funeral? Did something happen?" He hugged her close and looked her deep into her eyes.

"You could say that." Maxie said as she checked out the crowd in the foyer of the Quartermaine mansion.

"Well what happened?" Mac asked. "Are you ok? I have been going out of my mind with worry for you."

Maxie pulled back and whispered, "I'm sorry Uncle Mac." Then she reached inside his coat pocket and grabbed his gun. In a cold, hard voice she said, "Georgie, get out of here. GO upstairs or something. I don't want you here for this."

In that moment, Taggert, Jason, Sonny's bodyguards and the other cops in the room pulled out their guns and trained them on Maxie. Mac stepped forward and said calmly, "Maxie, what's going on? Everyone else, lower your guns." Reluctantly they followed his orders.

Georgie stepped forward, "Maxie what are you doing? Are you insane?"

"I'm drunk but I know EXACTLY what I am doing." Maxie retorted to the crowd . "You know, I am looking around. Where is my father? Did the great Frisco Jones have some important assignment that kept him away from his ex wife's and the mother of his children's funeral? Not that he was ever up for Father of the Year, but you get the picture. Sean, I see you could make it and you are the head honcho at the WSB. Why the hell isn't my father here?"

Sean cautiously left Tiffany's side, "Maxie I tried everything I could. I even talked to the President. For national security reasons he couldn't be released from his assignment. I am so sorry that he couldn't be here, but he will be in touch with you and Georgie soon."

Maxie scoffed, "Tell him not to bother. There was only one person who loved me uncondtionally and she is gone."

"Maxie we all love you. Let us help you." Mac pleaded.

Maxie's eyes roamed the room and landed on Lucky. With comtempt in her voice she says, "No you don't." She again glances around the room and sees Taggert standing next to Alexis. Angrily she said, "I had a little visit this morning from our favorite neighborhood detective. Uncle Mac, you should be real proud. He always gets his man." She finished sarcastically.

Mac turns around and demands, "What did you say to Maxie that has her this upset?"

Alexis cleared her throat. "Mac, Now is not the right time for this."

"You questioned Maxie without telling me? What about some professional courtesy here? My God Alexis! You couldn't have consulted me!"

Alexis said quietly, "We were just following up like any normal investigation. It was just a couple questions. Maxie is well over the legal age. We were looking to rule her out. We never believed that she was the driver of the car."

Sonny and Jason were moving closer together. Maxie noticed this, pointed the gun at Elizabeth and said, "If you move another inch towards me, I shoot St. Elizabeth here. Understand me? My mother is dead and I have nothing to lose. Understand me, nothing."

"All right Maxie, we just don't want anyone to get hurt." Sonny said. "There are a lot more people in here with guns that know how to use them. If anyone is going to get hurt, it's probably going to be you."

Maxie snorted, "Do you really think I care Mr Mobster? My mother is never coming back and guess what people. The reason I didn't show up at my own mother's funeral is because Taggert asked me where my car was. Yes everyone, if you haven't figured it out, I was the one driving the car that hit my mother. I killed her."

Shock and gasps went through the room. "I don't believe it Maxie. Taggert is wrong." Mac said, "Tell her Taggert."

Taggert walked towards Maxie and she swung the gun at him, "Maxie we can work through this. All I asked you today was where your car was. I don't know anything else. It's still an ongoing investigation"

Maxie put the gun to her head, "Get away from me!" Everyone backed away and Maxie started to cry. "Damnit I was upset that night. As I was leaving, alone again I saw Lucky kissing St. Elizabeth and I started to cry. You used me Lucky for sex. He used me and threw me away like yesterdays trash. I was crying because it should be me on his arm! Especially since that baby isn't even his!....That's right Elizabeth. I know your secret. Were you ever going to tell him? We all know that after Sam died Liz and Jason slept together. Their was a paternity test and I saw it first Liz. The baby is Jason's and you are lying about it!"

Jason stared straight ahead, but Lucky turned to Elizabeth, "Is this true? You slept with Jason?"

"You're not going to believe me Lucky? I just killed my mother and have admitted it to a room of people. I have nothing to lose. So I was crying and driving and I wiped my eyes and heard a bump. I looked back but I didn't see anything. It was dark out. So I kept going. I didn't put two and two together until Taggert came to see me. Then I realized that I killed my mother. How do you think I can live with that?" Maxie sobbed.

Georgie stepped forward, "Maxie, it's ok. It was an accident. I still love you with all my heart. You know that. We are closer than sisters, you are my best friend. I need you in my life."

Maxie started waving the gun around, "SHUT UP! Everyone just shut up. Georgie, get out of here please!!!! I have had it. I can't go on like this. So Lucky, what do you think about your St. Elizabeth now?"

Lulu crossed her arms and said, "You are making this up because my brother chose Liz over you."

Luke put his hand on her shoulder and drew her back behind him, "Shhh."

"Oh yeah Lulu? What about at the Nurse's Ball when you were kissing my sister's boyfriend? What do you have to say about that?" Maxie yelled. "You act all virtuous but you are just like all the other members of your family.

Georgie flew forward but Robert stopped her from getting to Maxie, "Stop it Maxie!... Just stop it. Please!" She pleaded.

"Why all the Spencers women are sluts. Look at Ruby, she ran a brothel. Bobbie, well can't get much sluttier than her, her being a prostutite and all. Oh, except maybe for Carly who what, has slept with every man over the age of 18 that she isn't related to in Port Charles. St Elizabeth is carrying Jason's child. Laura has an illegitmate son and Lulu is making out with Dillion at the Nurse's Ball. Runs in the family." Maxie said spitefully.

Luke angrily said, "Look here Maxie, just stop it. You need some help here. You are blaming everyone else in the world but you are the one who needs help. Your family wants to help. Let them.

Robin edged forward, "Please Maxie. You and Georgie are the closest things that I have to sisters. I love you and want to help. Please let us. Your mother was in an accident and we can help you."

Sobbing, Maxie pleaded, "Lucky take me back. It's you I need."

Lucky edged closer to his wife, "You need to listen to your family."

"You're right." Maxie stood still and took a deep breath, "I need my Mom." She pointed the gun at her head and pulled the trigger.
