- Tonight was a very tense night for Patrick at the hospital, and it was bound to get worse. He could handle being taken off the roster to do a surgery, but he couldn't stand the fact that Robin was making it her mission to make his shift a miserable. He couldn't understand for the life of him why she would be so upset about his being nice to Sarah Webber; especially considering that Robin and Elizabeth are close friends. Shaking his head, he continued to sign off on charts he had in front of him.

"What is this? Dr. Patrick Drake actually doing some work for a change," Epiphany quipped, walking past him. "I heard about you being pulled from doing the Dawson surgery."

Putting his pen down, Patrick looked up at her. "I'm sure everybody has heard. Doesn't really matter much now, does it?" he answered back. All he could think about at the moment was Robin. "Have you seen Robin at all tonight?"

Raising an eyebrow at him, she dished out her pearls of wisdom. "You know, when you step foot in General Hospital, your main priority is to save lives. Whatever problems you have going on with Robin Scorpio should be left where they should be; at home." When she saw him roll his eyes a little, she shook her head. "We have enough drama as it is without you two adding to it." Grabbing her files, she made her way down the hall.

Moments later, the elevator doors opened up and Robin was laughing at something Steven Webber was telling her. “Elizabeth did that?" she asked, still laughing as she stepped off the elevator. "I can't wait to see her so I can tease her about this."

"No, no, you can't tell her. She would know for sure that I was the one that told you that," Steven pleaded, cracking a smile at Robin. Elizabeth definitely knew how to pick delightful friends, he thought to himself. Dr. Robin Scorpio was a delight indeed to talk with, and he hoped to spend a little bit more time getting to know her.

"You never did tell me how long you were planning on staying here in Port Charles. I know you and your sister came up here for the Christmas holiday, but Christmas is long gone. Do you have any thoughts of sticking around longer?" she asked, unaware that Patrick was a few feet away from her, listening to her every word.

Steven thought for a moment before speaking. Quite honestly, he had no idea how long he could stay in Port Charles, but the more time he spent with Elizabeth and old friends, the more he thought of sticking around. "The idea really never crossed my mind, to tell you the truth, Robin. I mean, I enjoy staying with Grams, enjoying her home cooked meals, playing with Cameron," he started to chuckle a little as he said his last sentence, "tormenting my sisters, even. But I haven't thought long enough as to whether I want to move back here."

"Maybe you could come back to work at the hospital full time. We could always use another pair of hands in surgery," she teased, blushing immediately after she said it. What was the matter with her, she thought. She was not one to toss out flirty comments; that was Patrick Drake's style. The thought of Patrick made her frown a little.

Steven could immediately see the change in her, and wondered if everything was okay. "Hey, are you okay, Robin?" he asked, somewhat concerned. Without realizing it, he placed his hand on her shoulder. "Whatever it is, you can talk to me about it. Any friend of Elizabeth's is definitely a friend of mine."

"Thanks for the offer for a listening ear, Steven, but I think I'll be alright. I was just thinking about something or should I say, someone, and by doing so, it's making me a bit edgy." Looking at her watch, she realized she had to check on her patient before her shift ended. "I better get to my patient, before I head home. I had a good time talking to you."

Smiling some, he couldn't have agreed more. "Not as much as I enjoyed spending time getting to know you," he replied, looking at her. "Maybe you and I can have lunch some time, that is, if it's okay with you?"

She was about to give her answer when she suddenly saw Patrick looking at them. Anger took over the minute they locked eyes. "You know what, we should have lunch tomorrow," she said, making sure that every word had been heard.

"That sounds good," Steven said, pleased to have another chance to be with her. "I could pick you up at your place around seven, if that's okay?"

Waving her hand, dismissing the notion, Robin smiled, well aware that Patrick was scoping out the scene. "Nah, don't waste your time coming to my place, why don't I just meet you at Elizabeth's?"

Rubbing his hands together, he nodded. "Well, tomorrow it is, then." He watched as Robin made her way to check on her patient. Smiling to himself, he found himself definitely pleased that he would be spending some quality time, granted it be dinner, with the lovely Robin Scorpio.

Patrick slammed down a chart in frustration once Steven was out of sight. He knew Robin was acting out in spite just to get even with him, however, he didn't sit too well with the fact that Steven was a little too interested in his girlfriend.

- At Wyndemere, Nikolas was on edge. How could he not be? After learning that someone saw Sam, he was spiraling, wondering what steps to take next. Throughout the day, he cursed himself for going along with Lucky to begin with; also, he had to cancel another date with Carly, to which she did not sit too well with, but understood.

Raking his hands through his hair, he paced the study, wondering what he should do. Going to the desk, he picked up the receiver to the phone and dialed Lucky's number.

Nik: Lucky, it's me, Nik. Hey, we need to talk about what to do about Sam."

Lucky: I am very well aware that we have to do something regarding someone spotting Sam..right now, I'm trying to see if I can get Elizabeth over here. Maybe if she's here, I can find out if she was the one that saw her. What about Alexis, has she said anything to you?

Nik: No, trust me, she would have called me immediately if she was the one that saw Sam at the park.....This is killing me.

Lucky: I know you are going to blame me for all of this. Nik, I just didn't know what else to do at the time.

Nik: You're damn right this is your fault. If you hadn't opted to take matters into your own hands, then Sam would be on the right path in getting her memory back....We would have gotten to the truth as to why Helena had her in the first place.

Lucky: (pausing a bit before speaking) When you found out....when you learned that she was alive, why didn't you do something? I mean, you had the chance to do what was right...why did you go along with me?

Nik: I don't know....for the life of me, I don't know. Just the thought now of seeing the looks on my aunt’s face....it's going to kill her.

Lucky: Man, I'm so sorry......

Nik: (cutting him off) No, you're not....don't even dare say you're sorry. Everyone that was there that night will be affected when the truth comes out......and you know the truth will come out that Sam is alive and that we kept her away from everyone.

As Nik continues his conversation with Lucky, he wasn't aware that someone was standing outside of the study, hearing his conversation. The figure quickly makes their way to the door, but was stopped when Alfred, Nik's butler, approached them.

"Madame, you weren't able to find Sir Nikolas?" he asked, with a puzzled look on his face. "He is in fact here at the mansion. Do you care for me to locate him for you?"

Shaking her head, furiously, the figure spoke to him. "No, Alfred, that won't be necessary. Just tell Nikolas that I stopped by today, okay?"

Opening the door, she let it slam shut behind her. Wiping her eyes, Carly couldn't believe that Nikolas was keeping the most damaging secret from not only her, but from a great deal of people that she cared about.
