At the court House. Jack walks off the witness stand after Judge Mathis has called for a brief recess, Billy, Ashley, and Traci follow Jack out side the courtroom.

Traci: Jack are you ok?

Jack: I’m ok Tracy. A little hard reliving all those memories. I didn’t think I’d choke up like this.

Ashley: Jackie it’s ok.

Billy: Damn right it is because now finally Victor is going to pay for all his devious crimes against our family.

Jack: You go that right. After all these year I finally get to see the old money bags behind bars, He wont be able to do anything. He won’t be able to do a damn thing once I get my hand on Newman.

Inside the courtroom. Nick and Nikki look at each other.

Nick: Mom are you ok today was pretty intense with Jacks testimony?

Nikki: I’m fine son. Thinking of the child Jack and I lost it makes me wonder what could have been. They both look over at Victor.

Avery, Leslie and Rafe huddle around Victor.

Avery: I think we can all agree Jack’s testimony was very damaging to us.

Victor: Jack is a show boatist. He’s a drama queen.

Leslie: Even so he gave quite a performance.

Rafe: We need some type of hail mary to turn this tables right now. Its looking we are losing this case.

Victor looks at each one of his legal advisors carefully.

“I am Victor Newman I will get out of this. Avery I want to meet with you personally.” Rafe, Avery, and Leslie all look at each other.

Avery: You two grab some lunch or something. I’m going to see what Victor wants.

Leslie: Ok just shoot us a text when you get word on when the trial resumes.”

Avery: Ok.

Leslie leaves and pulls out her phone to call Malcolm.

Rafe then to also leaves.

Avery: Ok Victor what’s up?

Victor: I have an idea.

Episode 91: Victor forces Avery to betray Leslie

Written by ML Cooks

Verdon Lou

Dru: Bitch I’m paralyzed?!” Dru says as she tries to move her legs.

Sheila: Yes you are. It serves you right. Your to wild and out of control. You had to be neutralized. Not only that you have to pay for tricking people into thinking the mystery woman was me. Your mighty clever. Does your best friend know what you were up to all these months?

Sharon: What does she mean Dru?

Dru: I came back to get revenge on Phyllis.

Sharon: How long have you been back in town?

Dru: About 3 months.

Sharon: 3 months!? Have you seen your kids or Neil?

Dru: No It wasn’t time yet. I had to destroy Phyllis first.

Sheila: And it almost worked except Sophia died instead.

Sharon: Oh my god Dru what is going on what did you do?

Sheila: Dru is responsible for Sophia’s death.

Back in the court room

Victor: I want you to dig something up on Leslie.

Avery: I don’t understand.

Victor: I don’t feel all of my legal team are fighting hard enough for me. I got a hunch Leslie is no good. And I need to give her a push to put her all into my trial.

Avery: So you want me to dig into her past to see what I come up with?

Victor: I would be pleased. I know something is up. Something that may help me.

Avery sits back and thinks on what Victor has just asked her to do.

“ You want me to betray Leslie? To help you win?

Victor: You bet.

Avery: Wow.

Victor: Your salary is also wow.

Avery: You got a point there. I’ll hop right on top of that.

Victor smiles.

Leslie knocks on Malcolm apt door. As she knocks it just opens up. She calls out for him. Its very dark in the apartment and there is beer bottles and trash littered all over the floor. She males her way over to the windows and opens up the curtain to let light in. Malcolm moans out as the sun light hits his eyes as he was laying on the couch hung over.

Malcolm, Sitting up unable to see who it is yet due to his eyes still adjusting to the light.

“Who dat?

Leslie: Your woman. I came to check on you since your not answering or returning calls or text. Is this what you’ve been up to? A binge?

Malcolm: Les don’t do this to me right now. My head is killing me. I can’t deal with this.

Les: With what? Sophia’s death? Your going to put yourself on pause so you can drink your emotions away?

Malcolm: I used to be married to Sophia. I loved her once. We were supposed to have a family until my brother stole that away from me. Again LES! First Lily and now Moses. How else am I supposed to deal with this?

Leslie: I can tell how you shouldn’t deal with it. Putting your life and this relationship on pause so you can drink. What good does that do? You need to be a man and face your problems.

Malcolm: Oh so now I’m not a man? Why because I don’t have some high power level attorney’s job like you with all the big money that it brings. You must want a man like Neil then. He got money. Go ahead go be with him everyone woman I get chooses him. He’s the better man so get to stepping.

Leslie walks up to Malcolm and slaps him.

“Go take a bath you stank ass bastard. You tripping.” She then leaves. Malcolm sits back down on the couch and looks around his messy apartment. He decides to clean it up.

Roxanne’s Apt. Nate sits on the couch as Roxanne pours them a galls of wine and brings it to them. He sips on it.

Nate: Rox, I’m a terrible person.

Roxanne: I’m sure you had your reason for doing what you did.

Nate: What I did. Don’t be so nice about it. I changed my nephews paternity test. I have Neil thinking he is Moses father when really Malcolm is. Now some one else found out and black mailed me with it. And now some one is dead.

Roxanne: Some one is dead? Do you mean Sophia?

Nate: Yes Roxanne. Sophia is dead because of me!” Nate takes a sip of wine as a tear falls down his cheek. Roxanne is stunned.

Verdon Lou

Dru: I didn’t kill no Sophia. Don’t put that on me. It was a mistake. Phyllis was supposed to die.

Sharon: You were going to kill Phyllis?

Dru: You damn skippy after what that bitch did to me. Pushing me over that cliff. That Bitch pushed me and now she is going to pay.

Sheila: But it seems you are paying now. You’re a fool trying to impersonate me. You involved Nate and Michael in your little plan. And you even learned a huge secret in the process. Michael Baldwin’s secret and you also learned your good nephew the good doctor Nate Hastings has one to. Now its my turn to have some fun in Genoa City. And Dru you are right, Phyllis must pay for the things she’s done to me. And to you too. But let’s change the tables a little bit.

Dru: What do you mean?

Sheila: I think it’s time I impersonate you to make Genoa City think its you who is the mystery woman. And commit some crimes against the people I hate and then you can take the fall for it and I go free.

Dru: Bitch what are you smoking? You can never be me I’m too black.

Sharon: Sheila she does have a point.

Sheila: We’ll see about that.” Then they hear a cough from behind a curtain that divides the room in half.

Sharon: Who is that back there Sheila? You have never told us. You said it was another mystery person.

Sheila: Oh it is. But its not time to get into that now. I have something to do and it involves you Sharon.

Sharon: Sheila please don’t hurt me. I have kids.

Sheila: Is that what you were saying when you were being the slut of Genoa City. Now all of a sudden you have kids. What a joke. You’re a joke Sharon and a bad mother.” Sheila then leaves. Sharon is stunned and speech less.

Back at the courtroom. Avery approaches Victor.

Victor: I assume you have some news for me.

Avery: Oh do I. You are not going to believe what I’ve uncovered on Leslie Michelson. We can use this to turn this trial around. We will be able to stop Spencer Walsh dead in his tracks from moving forward with this trial.

Victor smiles: Good work Avery. I knew I could trust you.
