April 05 2009 APRIL 05 2009 The storm continues.........Fade in to..... Genoa City Memorial: Katherine, having been checked by the Dr and Nurse, is beginning to show signs of calming down. They allow Murphy in to see her. He enters, with Esther with him. They Go to her, and tell her about the weather brewing outside. She simply wants to go home, But Murphy feels it is best for them to remain where they are due to increasing severe weather and possible violent conditions in and around her home and the vicinity......Power inside the hospital flickers, but with their generator in full swing, power is not lost......Katherine, growing worrysome over friends being out in this, clings to murphy, who, hearing the storm growing near, is seated on her bed, holding her, Esther, seated to the side, holding her hand.......fade out to...... Indigo: Neil is there, with Karen, fighting as they have been lately, when Devon rushes in to warn them of the storm heading their way...But as he rushes to the table they are seated at, a severe burst of wind violently forces its way through the front part of the building, and before any one has a chance to respond, the front wall and the roof cave in, trapping them inside....... fade out to the sound of heavy heavy wind..fade to........ The Newman Ranch, Main House...... ..Adam, Upstairs, is plotting something.. we see that his blindness is not as people would tend to think. He is freely walking about the room, having regained some vision, but walks to the window, to see what is brewing outside, as his room is on the SW side of the main house.......Victor and Abby, seated in the main Parlor, Window behind them ( which is also on the SW side of the house.....Abby is telling victor how storms scare her, as he is seated next to her .. He pulls her into a fatherly loving embrace, to let her know it will all be ok......We hear the sound of the wind, building to a feverish pitch...Victor, rising from the couch, lets go of her hand as the whole back wall now bursts inward. The force of the wind knocking Abby to the floor, and violently forcing Victor towards a portion of the house we cannot see.......fade to the sound of torrential rain, lightening, severe wind as we fade to........ Vehicle out on the highway........ We see a vehicle, its occupant unknown to us at this time...racing down the road, approaching the Chancellor Estate main gate......The wind, Howling ever so violently, the driver, obviously having a hard time maintaining their space on the roadway, crashes through the gate and makes a maddening rush up the main drive, towards the main house....We are looking out of the windshield looking at the main house when a major part of a tree, uprooted from the storm, is blown visciously into the pathway of the driver, they swerve to avoid hitting it, correct themself, park just off from the main house entrance.....We are now inside, in the main foyer as we see Billy bursting through the main door, rushing into the main parlor, with no electricity....... Billy: (screaming, in a state of total frenzy) " Grandma? Esther? Chloe? ( looking around) is any one here? ( runs across to the main dining opens door, and sees that it has been severely damaged by the storm..we hear and see bits and pieces of the area falling into the room.....Billy stands, frozen....in fear.. and in a total state of shock..not knowing where any of his family is......startled by a noise he suddleny hears, he turns to his left just as we see the main entrance door explode inward.......cue in main theme music...fade to black...... APRIL 05 2009 We fade in......slowly panning down that dark rain drenched highway.....in slow motion we see the red lights, the blue lights, and massive amounts of police and emergency personnel converging on the scene, each, placing their own life at risk, so as to determine what has happened, who all was involved, saving those that can be saved.....emergency personnel are scattered all about the scene.....the cluter of voices, all over the places, no one making any sense to us, but we hear all of them talking, as the rain pummels them, the wind knocks them off balance, the lightening illuminates their places, the thunder shaking them to the core.....the visions at hand, churning in their minds, etched there forever.....as the camera pans back, widening our scene, just off in the distance, close but yet far enough away.....we can hear it.....at first the thought of what we hear confuses us.. could that be? am I actually hearing it?.........our scene fades slowly to darkness as off in the distance we hear that of a soft ........tender ...........( cue in the theme music)......voice of...... a baby crying.......... APRIL 05 2009 Back at the scene of the accident, EMTs are attempting to reach the body that lays upon the earth, and is dangling ever so dangerously off the edge of the embankment, laying face down on the rain soaked earth.......An EMT manages to get to the victim, without being blown over the edge, by the force of the wind, crouches down next to it, searching for a pulse.. as soon as he is able to locate one he yells to others nearby..... EMT 1: " I have a pulse......I have victim one, female, non-responsive, apparently suffering from full force trauma, severe lacerations both arms, both legs, mid chest, and left rear facial contusion. (He notices that there is blood coming from the rear of the head area) Also, be advised severe head trauma, possible lacerations."....... we are now at the base of the embankment, where two emts have been able to make their way safely down the embankment, to the lower vehicle, discovering victim 2. pan in on Face of jill as the Emts both try to manuever their way into the car... Emt 2: "you take the left, I'll go to the right" ( hearing an odd noise, he looks to his colleague and asks if he too hears it) Did you hear that? " Emt 3: ( having heard it as well, and shocked) Yes.....It sounds like........a baby crying..........." We are now about a mile down the road where a police officer has discovered an abandoned car along the highway. He stops to check it out, making sure no one is stranded out in the storm. Having called in the vehicle information and tag information, he waits for a response from dispatch as to the owner.....while he waits he sees a note inside the car, in quickly written form, he reads "car broke down , have left to go get help..am walking in the direction of town....." Dispatch: "Unit 341 be advised that vehicle comes back registered to one William Foster Abott, adress is....." cue in sad music as we fade to black........ Fade in to Genoa City Memorial......Esther is out in the E.R. lobby, worried, for katherine, and about her own family.....Her Cell Phone rings, and as she goes to reach for it, she hears the hospital staff announcing that the first victim from an automobile accident is about to be brought in, unconscious, and non-responsive......Not showing too much concern about the action developing in the E.R, as staff prepare for incoming accident victims, she takes her phone from its holder, and flips it open to answer.....Esther: "hello? Yes, this is Esther Valentine.....( turning, in frustration at the staff making a ruckus at the ambulance entrance, she quickly glances back to the entrance way, angered they are keeping her from hearing the conversation on her phone) What? I'm sorry, there is too much noise, I cant hear you..What did you say? Yes, I have a daughter named Chloe..Who is this? Hello? This is Officer Who? ( still having difficulty hearing what the officer is trying to tell her, she turns just as the doors burst open and the medical team rushes into action.... it is now that she HEARS what the officer is saying into the phone, and she makes the mental connection as she sees her own flesh and blood being brought in on the stretcher....she drops the phone and rushes over to the staff and Chloe...screaming... Esther: "omg.. My baby.. My baby.....( grabbing Chloe, and looking frantically at the staff, searchign for answers) What happened? omg is she alive?....Nurse: ( trying to grab Esther, to remove her from the way so that they can rush her into a room) "ma'am. Ma'am, ( grabbing her shoulders and shaking her, in a stern voice) "MA'Am....I need you to calm down please..Let the Doctor look at her and we will let you know whats happening ....."( as the nurse tries to usher a frantic esther, now unable to breath, and feeling as if her whole world is lost. The nurse helps esther down on to the sofa in the lobby just as murphy comes bursting out of Kays room, having heard the ruckus)We are now back at the darkened highway..emts have located the sound of a baby crying.....they have discovered Cordelia, alone, freezing, unprotected from the elements, but alive, burried beneath many many leaves, as the emts are tending to her, she is being placed in another ambulance, and rushed to the hospital.....As other emt personnel are descending down the embankment to get to other possible victims, and to help with the extraction of jill, another victim is discovered.....As they reach the top vehicle, they discover another female, non-responsive, pinned in by the weight of the vehicle, burned severely........Emt: " I have another victim, female, NO pulse..... unresponsive. She is pinned inside, unable to extract with minimal measures....Going to need to cut into the vehicle, AFTER we tow it up...there is no way we can get her out this way......( receiving orders to move onto another vehicle, due to this victim having no pulse and unresponsive) "That is affirmative sir, she is unresponsive. no pulse.. I copy that Sir.. Moving to the lower vehicle." ( the emt now goes down to the passenger side of the middle vehicle, to our victim with an arm dangling out the window.....) "Dispatch, I have another victim, also female, also non responsive, also no pulse....." cue theme music...fade to black.... April 06 2009 APRIL 06 2009 Genoa City Memorial: ( theme music playing ever so quietly and sadly in the background) E.R. Lobby, Just outside the room that contains Chloe. We see esther, sobbing profusely, as she watches them trying to save her little girl. Guilt ridden at not having spent time with her throughout her life, we see her raise her hand to the little slat of glass on the door, tears drenching her cheeks.. Esther: " Chloe, my little baby, i am so so sorry. ( anguish, turmoil, sorrow, overtaking her in abundance, she removes her hand from the glass and doubles over crying hysterically, at the pain of seeing her daughter, who is not responding to the hospital staff, and at her own guilt at basically ignoring her, her whole life) " Oh God i am sooo Sorry....Please Dear God, Please help my little girl......" ( and it is at this time, in her hysterical state of being, it dawns on her...reality finally sinks into her somewhat naive mindset.....and she stops crying, a look of horror and shock etched firmly on her face...) "CORDELIA"....."OH MY GOD" ( talking to any one but to no one in particular, she runs to the nearest staff member, frantic, and somewhat hysterical in her grief) "MY GRANDBABY, CORDELIA, WHERE IS SHE....I DIDNT SEE HER WHEN THEY BROUGHT MY DAUGHTER IN....OH MY GOD Nurse: " Ma'am, No infant, was brought in with you daughter...( but knowing there is one on the way in, from emts radioing the er for preparations of more victims, she tries to discretely notify a Dr. on staff to assist, as she knows the news wil be traumatic) "I will have some one try to find out and let you know ma'am......" Esther takes out her phone, in a quick manner and dials a number....she gets Billys voice mail...... Esther: (frantic) BILLY, Its Esther, I am At the ER. They brought in Chloe....I need to make sure you have Cordelia...and that she is safe.. CALL ME THE MINUTE YOU GET THIS....( disconnecting the call, she slowly glances about the room, but not really the room, but a far off distant glance, as she is Lost, bewildered, saddened, and unsure of what is going on around her) "My lord, help me help me please....( tears begin cascading down her cheeks as she grows deeper and deeper into her state of sadness, anguish and turmoil) We see Billy, making a mad dash out of the Chancellor estate, having been unsuccessful at locating any one in the house. Rushing out to the car, rushing to some place, but not yet knowing where he is rushing to, he stops abruptly, sliding a bit forward, caught off balance, from the slickness of his shoes, sliding across the water, and the last vestiges of the storm still present in the area.... he reaches for his cell phone.....as he enters the car, he is accessing the voice mail option.......Hearing Esthers frantic call, he makes a maddening dash out of the Chancellor Estate.....as he exits through the main gate, one last bolt of lightening crackles, across the night sky, illuminating his vehicle and the main gate......some form of forboding, or just simply the night sky displaying one last fiery show of its power....we fade out, as his vehicle is seen swerving on the rain slickened highway, brakes squealing....... Indigo..... as the last remnants of the storm are passing high and above, we are now above the nightclub, looking down into a massive pile of rubble, roofing, and bits and pieces of what once was INDIGO...as we pan in closer, a portion of the pile is seen moving, and we witness a single hand reaching through the pile of rubble, trying to break free from the many pieces that have imprisoned them.....as we fade to The Newman Ranch: Main House......... Victor, seen laying upon a pile of rubble that once was a portion of his ranch house, unconscious......abby, seen laying at his feet, also unconscious..........Adam, seen laying midway on the staircase, also unconscious.....VIctoria and JT ( having been spared any major trauma of the storm) burst through the area that once was the main entrance, and stop in horror at seeing her Father, Her Sister, and a pair of feet at the bottom of the staircase.....fade to black......cue in theme music........( louder) APRIL 06 2009 Genoa City Newman Ranch : Nick and Phyllis' home....... With the rain still pummeling this area, the wind, still blowing in moderation, we see that the entrance way, and main wall have collapsed, as has part of the roof, which is laying atop a portion of the couch.....protruding through the rubble and debris, we see the feet of Noah......lifeless...... still....as we pan upward and see that he is buried in a large portion of the roofing that collapsed onto him as he was attempting to push Phyllis down to the floor, but in the process, pushing her further in, towards the kitchen area. Being that part of the roofing has collapsed onto them, atop the highest portion of the debris, we see that of a childs bed, empty, tattered and ripped to shreds, but no child lay in this bed, as it has come to rest on top of the debris that now has phyllis, unconscious as well, buried deeper still......we pan outward as we see that of a porcelain baby doll, cascading ever so slowly, from the bed of the child, down to the ground. As we see it shattering into tiny fragmented pieces, just off in the closest distance, we hear a hissing sound as we fade to...... The Accident ...... The EMTS , now having manuevered their way down the embankment, have now turned this from a search and rescue mission, to simply a recovery misson......as they are moving broken, shattered, jagged pieces of the wreckage one of the EMTs discover the body of the sixth victim....Cane.... EMT: ( shouting to nearby EMT for assistance) "Dear God I have another victim.. C'mere..help me move this piece of metal " ( as the other EMT arrives and assists in moving the hood of the car cane was driving, he shouts up the embankment that another victim has been located) " we have another Victim...Male....Shallow Pulse, but non responsive. we're gonna need an emergency backboard asap.......Notify ER at Memorial we have a victim in need of possible blood.....Full blunt trauma front facial area...severe lacerations on many areas of the body, no signs of respiratory trauma at this time....." ( as the emts are tending to Cane, prior to placing on the backboard, he awakens from his unconscious state of being, bewildered, lost, not aware of whats going on, nor what has taken place. He goes to move, when the EMTS tell him he is in bad shape and needs not to move, as he may have done severe damage to his body.....he goes to fight them but realizes he cannot yet move, as he would have liked...) Cane: ( Fearful, worried, and with a look of total confusion on his face, he screams at the EMTS) LILY...WHERE IS LILY? SHE WAS IN THE CAR ( trying to point to a car that he yet cannot see, but senses he is near) SHE WAS WITH ME WHEN......( we see him trying to rationalize what has happened, and how he ended up in the predicament he now finds himself in) WHERE IS SHE? ( cocking his head upward, looking around the area, as best he can, he screams...) "LILLLLLYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!" EMT:( attempting to calm him down, forcing him to stay on the ground and not move) "SIR, you need to lay still until we can get you to the ambulance...Once we have you secured, we will search for her in the area" ( already knowing that she had been pulled from the vehicle moments earlier and layed off to the side, and being attended to by other staff, but not knowing her fate at this point) "I promise you Sir, we will find her ( as he looks to the other EMT to give the visual affirmation that it is now the time to sedate him...... we fade from this scene as we watch him slowly give way to the sedation being injected into his veins......we fade to Esther, In the lobby, Murphy at her side....... Esther: ( totally distraught at the fact the her daughter is not responding and no one is telling her where her granddaughter is) " Murph, I dont know what to do....( she looks to him for some words, some hope, for something...) What do we do? I dont know what to do....Oh my god, my little baby, my Chloe....... Murphy: ( pulling her to him, to try his best to calm her) "Dont you worry none now gal, I am here, Kay is here, and we will do what ever we need to. Chloe is getting the care she needs, so thats a good sign "( as he tenderly and lovingly pats her shoulder) "Lets just wait and see what they tell us, and Maybe Cordelia is with a sitter. We dont know what she did with her when she left the house......." As he pulls her in tight for a good fatherly type hug, they abruptly stop, and quickly turn toward the sound that has startled them back to the reality before them.....We see Emergency Personnel crashing through the emergency room entrance, ( all in slow motion) pushing a stretcher, with..... the tiniest of life...... laying upon its top...... still...... lifeless...... unresponsive to the medical attention that is being administered to her..... We pan in on Esther......her face...... in utter shock.... utter disbelief, as Murphy Pulls her close, he bows his head as we see Esther fall to her knees screaming cordelias name.......... Cue the sad theme...fade to black........ APRIL 06 2009THE AFTERMATH Genoa City Country ClubWe pan in, to the main dining hall. No movement. The only sound we hear is the sad, eerie, rustling of the wind, as it is wafting through the lobby, the dining room, and all about the area where no walls now stand.....Its howl, ever so eerie, ever so soft, blows a cloth napkin through the air like its the thinnest piece of tissue . We see total destruction, debris, walls, tables, scattered about the room as leaves, and branches blow across the floor, table linen flapping in the wind, and off in the distance, the softest hint of the crackling of thunder........We pan in, to a Table, with several chairs, and chunks of massive sections of the building resting upon it, as we see the feet of some.....the arms of others..... all ...... and each.....intertwined together, as if holding on to dear life, for one last time...they lay silent.....no one moves....no one so much as flutters an eye lash..nor takes the simplest of breath, for fear that the torrential unfolding of yet another storm will be thrust upon them......we watch as that cloth napkin, now caught in the breeze, rustling through the air, in the slowest of motions, lands atop the table,to us, in the greatest of tenderness, softly, cascading down, as a feather would fall ever so slowly to the earth, but to those beneath it, it lands with the greatest of force........One hand slips out from beneath the table, shoving it to the side, no longer worried for their own safety nor the safety of those near...but more concerned for assessing the damage, and to see who may or may not have survived.... We see Michael.. rushing into action, although tired, and worn from maintaining his vigilance at doing all he could to keep his family safe.....he calls out to each, moving pieces of this, and remnants of that out of the way... frantic.... terrified.....Michael: ( yelling) LAUREN? WHERE ARE YOU? CAN YOU HEAR ME? LAUREN? EDEN? MOM? ( making mad dashes throught the room, the only sound he hears at first is the wind, and then a cracking sound....he turns just in time to see a portion of the wall behind the bar falling into his path.......as he jumps out of the way, and the wall comes crashing down we fade out of the first floor area and are now upstairs........We slowly pan into the room, from out in the hall way, its door, having been broken inward with the force of the wind and movement of the building, during the storm.....we see that this room, too, has suffered major destruction......we see where once the bed was placed, but it is no longer where it once was...upon the floor, scattered about, are remnants, that once belonged to other people, somehow now in this room.....a picture frame, monkeys, and other items, small in nature as they are, were some how big enough to have survived the massive winds, and as they were scattered about in the air, during the storm, have now come to rest, upon the floor. Inward more, into the room, we can now visualize the mattress, forced up against the wall, that somehow became a barrier of protection to those inside this room. As we can hear pieces of the building falling, (just off in the distance), we see the mattress move.......Nick.... comes from behind it.. shocked.. dismayed....confused....frightened...astounded at the devastation he is bearing witness to just inside this room...and then realization of what has actually taken place, and the magnitude of its final outcome, come full force in his mind and on his face......He screams her name....NICK: ( as he shuffles the mattress aside) SHARON....SHARON....OH GOD.. SHARON..........( he sees the dresser, turned on its side...to the upper edge, he sees nothing more than simply her foot, peeking ever so discretely from beneath the massive piece of hotel furniture that has now come to rest upon her.....He rushes over.....and with all his force.. and might... and power...as worn out as he is from surviving the storm.....He manages to remove it from her, bends down, falls to her side, brings her into his lap, cradling her head ever so sweetly, begging.. pleading...for her to speak to him...Nick: SHARON.. PLEASE.. OPEN your eyes.....OH GOD, dont leave me ......Please........ ( he goes to re-adjust his position on the floor, ever so slightly, letting go of the soft embrace he has on her head....Her head falls slightly off to the side.....She is lifeless.......He sees that she is not responding to him.....she is not waking up to him, and answering him........Nick begins to cry..... as he bends down, laying his cheek to hers.......Cue sad theme song...ever so softly in the back ground as we fade to .......Genoa City MemorialEMERGENCY ROOM LOBBY......Esther, now having been some what sedated by staff, still somewhat lucid, yet more relaxed, yet filled with the greatest worry, sadness, anguish and turmoil, is resting her head on Murphys shoulder........She has been informed that the hospital staff is doing all it can for chloe, but no one gives her any information on Cordelia.......Murphy, startled by a crashing sound just off behind him, turns quickly enough to see Billy crashing in through the door, rushing over to them....When esther sees him coming to her, she becomes hysterical, and runs to his arms, sobbing profusely.....trying to tell Billy about Chloe....and... Cordelia, but unable to force the words from her mouth.......Murphy Breaks the news to Billy........Billy.....Now at Chloes side.....Begging and pleading, softly, to her, to come back to him.....He professes his love for her, and tells her he will do the best he can to stand by her.......in the background we hear the soft monitone sound of the heart monitor.......as its tones drop ever so slightly in their rythm.....we see Billy, first glance to the monitor, then to Chloe.. when the realization hits him that she is going......he rises and bends down over her... begging her not to leave him..........As he softly takes her into his arms, clutching her.... in the first loving gesture that he has shown her.............her hand falls softly off to the right........and for the first time since being brought in........her clutched fist.......slowly falls open.......as the monitor goes to a solid rythm.......Billy is shocked .....tears falling down his face......Esther...unable to speak........as we watch them in their time of sorrow.......listening as the monitor goes flat.. their eyes fall to her right hand.......falling toward the floor......her hand now opens......her last action of life.........she drops her wedding ring to the floor.........as it falls.....we fade to black..........
April 07 2009 APRIL 07 2009 Genoa CIty Accident Site We are back up on the main road-way, ambulances, emergency personnel, and the "gawkers" scatttered all about, still assessing the situation at hand. Cane Has been air-lifted and flown to Genoa City Memorial, as has Lily, Unbeknownst to Cane. Jill, Having been removed from the wreckage, now lay on a stretcher, being prepped for her life-flight to the hospital. She has shown some signs of response to the EMT, but remains unconscious at this time, until they go to lift her into the ambulance ( that will be taking her to flight pad down the road) she suddenly gasps for air, opens her eyes in shear panic... JILL:( Gasping for air, as if she had been drowing) HUUUUUUUUhhhhhhhhhhh ( sitting straight up, staring, deeply, straight ahead, as if seeing nothing around her, as if she is still focused on some vision before her.......) "OH MY GOD.........NOOOOOOOOOO" ( as if she is reliving the accidents initial moment. The EMT is now to her side, trying to calm her, forcing her back to the current reality at hand, and trying to get her to remain laying down) "where AM I, what the hell happened?' where is"...... ( the realization to her own outcome, and the outcome of her actions now hits her full force, as we see her eyes wide open, mouth slightly agaped, she NOW realizes she is in severe pain.....but the vision she sees in her head, reliving that precise moment, overcomes her pain as she tilts her head to the side, and cries......) We can see another EMT, just past Jill and those tending to her, who is tending to our last and final victim from the crash. not yet identified, but yet very instrumental in all the details that transpired and thus creating some of the situation we now have at hand.....as the Emt is going to cover her non-responsive body, another, who had been trying diligently to save her, IS able to get a pulse.......he notifies his crash team of such, and as the other EMT is removing the cover, it is now that we see that our sixth and final victim is........ We fade to........ Indigo...... We witness the destruction and devastation to just a portion of the Club, and see that some one, from beneath the rubble, is using all their might....all their power....to remove the debris from atop their location...as we see pieces of heavy metal fall to the side...........Devon rises, and pulls himself from the ties that bound him down......he...confused, dazed, and trying to take in what has just happened.......stands firm in one spot, petrified at moving, as he has no clue, yet, as to what has fully happened, nor what to expect....He searches the room...with eyes only....not only for some form of an answer..but also for Neil....and Karen.....as he scopes the area, we see him stop abruptly......upon discovering one of them..........we pan in on his facial expression of shock....and utter disbelief at what he has just discovered.........we fade to... The Abbott House..... Panning into the foyer and main entrance we see the damages to the main entrance way and then pan slowly to the left, seeing the portion of the house, to the left of the entrance, and see that that is the direction of the storm....Placing jack in its direct path........We pan further left, being behind the couch, looking at the floor in front of the couch ( as if we are peeking over the back) we see that it is Jack laying face down .....no movement.......no actions.......we then see his leg twitch...then an arm move.....then we see him, in his shock and dismay, and confusion.....roll off to his side........we then can see that he was sheilding his sister Ash, from any thing that may have sailed through the air....Ash...now able to move, comes out of her state of shock, pulls herself to her knees, looks around the room, then to Jack, stands and notices a deepened gash in the side of his head, blood, dried and caked thick......she goes to wipe the blood, and as she does......looks at Jack in a state of horror, Jack, returning a look of confusion.........no words spoken......she looks at him now in shear terror and then she doubles over, clutching her stomach........as she is falling back to the floor from where she rose, we pan in close on Jacks saddened expression and realization of what has taken place.........cue in theme music as we fade to black......
APRIL 08 2009
Genoa City
Newman Ranch: Main House
With the severity of the storm having just passed over, JT and Victoria, having survived the full brunt of the storm in their home, have found their way through the devastation and destruction out-side and are now attempting to gain entry into the main house.....
We see the main entrance way, and its little foyer room have been totally obliterated. Parts of its frame are now jagged and sharp....like tiny daggars, protruding from the wall. Jt stumbles over beams and debris that obstruct their easy passage into the main room. The only sound we hear, while they stand there in their total shock and disbelief, taking in the damage to the room, is the sound of the wind.....gentle but yet firm soft but yet swiftly as it blows inward into the main room..The beam at the entrance way, that is still holding Sabrinas portrait ( with it now being some what crooked in its appearance on the wall), begins to crack, with the weight of several beams now resting upon it. We see JT pushing Victoria out of harms way as the beams above come crashing down, and Sabrinas portrait falls to the ground, its glass shattering upon impact......we fade to........
Genoa City Memorial
Emergency Room Main Nurse Area
Medical Personnel have now gathered around the main nursing station, awaiting orders and breifing from the attending physician. Dr. Winters ( olivia) is seen rushing over to Esther, Murphy, and Billy....
OLIVIA: (going to esther, and taking her hand, and holding it tightly, as she pulls Billy closer to her on the other side) "Esther, Billy, I dont"t know what to say....I don't know how to tell you this, but...we have done all we could possibly do.."...( esther breaks down, and clings to murphy for support, as Billys color drains from his face) "She apparently took a full brunt hit and ...well.. her body...fragile as it is...just couldn't ( sensing their pain at this news, and at a loss for the correct word she pauses.....) "it couldnt.. Hang in there any longer........I wish I had better news for you , and I am soo sorry for this loss.....( releasing her from their grips) I am sorry, but I have to get back in the back room.....More crash victims are being brought in, and we have people injured from the storm showing up now."....."Billy ( she goes to pull Billy away from the others, and is holding his right arm as she tells him),.,.." I just got word that.......Your mom........is on her way in... apparently she was also involved in an accident of some sort..I dont have any details yet, but as soon as I know I will let you know ok? ( at this point, before billy could say a word, Olivia is cut off by a nurse needing her help asap in the back of the ER......) Billy, I have to go..I will be back as I can..( as she is running off) I am truly soo sorry..... ( Esther pulls herself away from Murphy, a look of shock and confusion etched deeply among her falling tears, and tear stained face)
ESTHER: ( looking Past Murphy, to Billy, as she sees Olivia running away) "MURPHY, SHE never told us.. was it Chloe Or Cordelia? OH MY GOD.......Go get her......."
as we fade to......
Katherine laying in the bed....
( cue Katherines Music)
(She opens her eyes slowly, dazed, confused, heavily sedated, but able to come back to a smaller realm of reality....with her head Laying upon the pillow, she is oblivious to anything that has happened outside, and all she knows at this point is that she had been brought in with breathing difficulties.....She searches the room for Murphy, confused that he is no where near her......she slightly lifts her head and can see out the small slat of glass on her rooms door...she sees Murphy....he is hugging tightly...Esther.....) "Murphy? Oh God...what happened? "
( she reaches for the nurses call device and depresses the call button........) "Oh Murphy, Whats going on out there? MURPHY?!!" (as she shouts as best she can, being as weak as she has become, she is unable to reach him with her own voice..she decides to wait for the Nurse)........She sits there as she sees Olivia come up to them and then watches as they seem to break down......) "Oh my God..Whats going on? " we fade out as she is attempting to rise from the bed.....
We fade to the accident site...

APRIL 08 2009A bond that is shared between two long time friends is one that can transcend time and space......It is believed that within this bond......a feeling.....a sensation.........an ache..some element of pain...or merely an emotion......can be felt between two souls....even if separated by miles...Genoa City Memorial...Katherines Room......Cue in katherines Music..softly playing in the background.....Katherine lays sleeping....lost to the world around her.......She slumbers deep..safe in her world.....far off into another place...she lay quiet.....for once this night....at peace.....

Genoa City.......
Indigo.......
Cue in theme music
We have returned to indigo..Devon...standing in utter disbelief at the sight of devastation he is now bearing witness to....snaps to some form of reality, knowing he needs to now search for Neil, and Karen.. ( being the only ones he saw when he entered) As he moves pieces of rubble, and concrete, and broken beams, he uncovers something....someone.....in a maddening rush to get to them and see if they are alive, he pulls a piece of a wall off of this person......Karen......laying lifeless....motionless.....not breathing......she lays on her stomach..arms to her side, turned upward.....twisted.......chin into right shoulder..left cheek flat to the floor.....Devon, saddened by what he sees, goes to turn her over, to check for some form of life....and then he discovers it.......in the oddest twist of fate....in the midst of the storm, flying debris apparently found its mark.....a portion of glass, shattered, tattered, jagged and rough... has become lodged within her.....Devon, not removing the glass, for fear it will worsen the slow bleeding, lays her softly on her back... knowing that there is nothing he nor any one else can do to save her now......she lay there, head now having fallen slightly to her right........eyes......wide open......as we pan to the entrance way and see the glass ......shattered ......tattered .......jagged .......and rough......the wording "indigo" broken into tiny pieces...
We fade from here and go to......
The alley out behind Indigo........
We see a car..covered in beams, glass, roofing, concrete....and we see that it too, did not get spared any redemption from the brutal wrath of the recent storm.. it lay... twisted....on its side......up against the remaining wall of the rear.. of what once was .... Indigo...as we pan slowly to the only visible portion of the interior.....we see that it contains only one body.....one life.....no movement.....no action.....we then hear a cracking sound just off in the near distance and pan out in time to see one last shred of the building....its logo...InDigo....fall violently atop the rubble already piled upon this saddened sight......and then shatter.......as if it exploded on impact ..as we fade to.........
Genoa City Memorial........
Dr. Winters Is now being informed that Lily has been brought in.......but the emts were unable to resuscitate her at the scene.....she is also told of the extent of her damages........we watch her fall into the attending Physicians arm and sob as he tells her that Lily... was apparently ....pregnant at the time...........
We quickly go to Cane... Alone in his portion of the Emergency room.....Having Just been told that Jill is being brought in.... he is mortified to learn that she was in an automobile accident....and when he is told it was the same location as was his.........he is in a state of shock.....Billy......Enters the room........in his own shock, disbelief..turmoil, sorrow....he stands at the foot of Canes Bed...........staring up to cane......No word spoken.......just Billy...with no expression......no emotion.........no intention............standing there........tears falling down his face.........as we fade to theme music.... then to ......darkness........

Carrying Eden.....As Michael Enters the Lobby, He sees Esther...seated...sedated.....confused.......alone....He goes over to her.. not knowing why she is there, or who she might be there with.......MICHAEL: (sitting down next to her, sensing by her disheveled look, that she has received the worst of news) "Esther, who?"ESTHER: ( looks to him with great sorrow then turns to look towards two rooms) "Mrs...C... Chloe...Cordelia...." ( she bows her head in sorrow and begins to weep.....Michael...gently places his arm around her, and Looks up to Gloria and Lauren, who have now joined them...mouths the words esther has just spoken.....pointing to the area of their rooms.....Then turns back to her) "Esther, are they ok?".....ESTHER: ( looking at the room that has Chloe and now Cordelia) "I dont know.. Murphy went to find out and then Mrs. C had some sort of attack.. No one will tell me whats going on...I need to know if my baby is ok......Olivia told us one of them hadn't made it.. they were "( she breaks down and buries her head in Michaels arms) "oh God........" ( lauren and Gloria, standing Behind her, reach down and offer their loving support by the placement of a single hand, each, upon her shoulder)We now see another Group entering the E.R.... Jack.... having entered behind the Ambulance that carried Ashley to this place........Michael, Gloria, and Lauren Turn to see them as well, startled by the crashing of the stretcher, slamming hard into the door upon their entry......Ashley.. in dire pain... screaming out......Jack, not knowing how to help, nor what to do.. lets go of her hand as they wisk her off to a room.....Lauren pulls herself from her group, and walks to Jack, where he tells her they survived the storm, but that Ashley may be in the process of losing the baby.....Lauren, not even aware that Ashley was pregnant......clues herself into the fact that it was with Victor........As the realization sinks in to her, we hear and see yet another stretcher crashing through the entranceway......Followed closely behind By Jt and Victoria.........Pan in on the face of Jack... as it is quickly wisked by him... he sees that it contains ....an unconscious......battered.....worn.........Victor.......as we cue the music and ...fade to darkness.........

( tossing the name again, as if it is supposed to mean anything).....VICTOR NEWMAN.......how is he doing?EMT:( utterly shocked at his gaul, and acting like he has no concern for the STATUS of this person being asked about, but more so concerned for all that are in this location, and those yet to be brought in..) SIR.. Right now, all I can tell you is that the staff here are doing everything they can FOR your party, and for all the other persons that were hurt,or injured, and the family to those that have not survived the storm....Please, let go of my arm.( jerking it away) ..I have other patients to care for...some one will be with you when they know more....Defeated and deflated, JT pulls Victoria, gently off to the side, realizing their power and their status have no importance in this place, on this night......it is just then they hear the crashing of the doors....and see that yet another patient is being brought in, but from their vantage point, they cannot see who it is, but can only hear that this persons injuries are....life threatening, dangerous, and catostrophic....... Gloria...being the closest to where they enter...spys what remnants of our victims face remains visible......saying not a word....her mouth agaped in horror.. turns slowly towards Victoria...and quickly places her hand over her mouth to suppress the anquished scream that deeply churns in the pit of her stomach.....Michael, seeing Glorias expression, sneaks a glance towards the stretcher, as it passes quickly by him, and with eyes wide opened, mouth slightly agaped, then swallows the large lump that has developed deep in his throat.....He too, turns towards Victoria....Shocked......Lauren.....Having also witnessed the ghastly image as well, clings Fenmore to her, ever so closely......Shaking her head in horror and great sorrowful disbelief....JT.....taking in their shock and their horror.. walks quickly over to get the quickest glimpse as they rush Nickie into the operating room......The emts being heard that she has lost alot of blood......It is at this point he rushes quickly to Victoria, as he realizes she has now bore witness to the tragedy that has befallen her family....The realization that her mother, too, has been rushed to this place, upon this tragic night.....We begin to fade ever so slowly as we watch Jt and Now Jack rushing to catch her as she falls to the floor.. cue in theme music.........fade to black.....

Cue in theme music....
We open with a slow gaze into the Newman ranch.....Silence, but for the wind blowing on the outside, and breezes wafting into the interior....Local law enforcement personnel, not knowing that Victor, and Victoria and Jt, with reed, have been extracated from the rubble, begin to search for any possible survivors......hearing them in the distance, we gaze into the room prior to their arrival......We see destruction.... chaos......devastation.... that once was ......His throne.....we then scan ever so slowly from the shattered image of Sabrina, across the floor...leaves getting caught up in the breeze....as they dance across the floor, they lead to .......first a boot......laying on its side......then just off from that we see the foot.......as we gaze tightly behind the curvature of the remaining wall, leading to the stairway, we see Adam........laying lifeless, on his back, arms resting to his side, head, slightly to the right......scattered about him are pieces of sheetrock, wall paper, beams, jagged slivers of glass, we see him damaged...battered....bruised......scraped.....lifeless.....he lay there.........waiting.......hoping......he breathes, just as the EMTS and Law enforcent enter the room........he hears them but yet cannot move, nor can he utter the smallest of words......The Emts, having entered the room, through the devastated entrance, quickly enter into the room......being careful to step lightly, not knowing who or what may lay beneath the rubble.......they find her..........Abby......buried beneath a massive pile of rubble, metal, beams, .....she lay there.....lifeless too.......as they discover her, they move pieces from atop her body... with the hope of saving an innocent life they discover... her battle has now ended.......
As they go to process of removing her body, they glance about the room, and dicover the foot of Adam...as they make a maddening rush to him.....just off in the distance, to another portion of the ranch......( unseen but heard)......an explosion......as we fade to darkness........

THE FALLOUT
Genoa City Memorial
We are now in a secluded room. Michael, Gloria, and Lauren are here, having said their good-byes to Eden, who now lay, covered, on the table before them.....Michael, in his sorrow, looks to Gloria with the realization of other family members.....
MICHAEL: ( rubbing his face and eyes with both hands) " uuuuuuuuuuuugggghhhh,.......Gloria, have you heard anything from Kevin or Jana? With all this ( he shakes and flails his hands madly about the air) going on tonight, I forgot all about them,"
GLORIA: ( raising her cell phone into the air, waving it about) "Michael, I have tried several times but ( she is now interupted by Lauren)
LAUREN: ( interupting her, and placing a loving hand on Michaels shoulder): I have tried also.. No one answers and I dont get a voicemail either....
GLORIA: "Michael, I am getting worried...You don't think that" ...( Michael interupts her)
MICHAEL: (interupting Her, by lifting his right hand to shush her) Shhhs... Don't.. Gloria DON'T!!!!!!! There has been enough drama tonight...and now Eden.....gone......So Gloria...Don't.....Don't say a word....Cause every time you open your mouth...something bad.....something horrible.. happens... to this family....(Looking to Lauren....Grabbing her face, in his hands and pulling it closer to his, and in frustration...) Lauren please..Take her home....I am going to go and see if Kevin and Jana are at home, or if they are at Crimson lights...( He now walks over to Eden, places a loving hand upon her arm) Eden, I am so sorry...So sorry this has happened to you...."
as he walks out of the room we fade to.....
Private hospital room
Esther....
Having been there as a friend, and then as a family member, initially here for support, she has now become a patient...distraught at the devastating news of this night.....She watched as her dearest friend...Katherine..was brought in for breathing problems, stood by her side, only to stand and watch..in horror.....and in sorrow....as her daughter lay suffering... As she watched her little girl make that last gesture in life..she was escorted from the room, too distraught to remain....only to watch her grandbaby be rushed in...distraught at her own realization that her little babies were now gone....She has hospital staff worried and concerned about her well-being, so they have admitted her for safe keeping and a watchful eye....We see her laying there..sedated...but awake...catatonic but yet stable enough to relive some long lost memory..unseen to us.....she stares off into the distance as tears cascade down from her eyes... we go to
Katherine.......Having been deemed ok to walk down to see Esther, and check on her dear friend.....she stands just outside Esthers room....Clutching, and clinging to, Murphy....She gazes...ever so lovingly into her room, having been told by Murphy of the devastating news. She places one hand on His arm, and the other on the door frame...
KATHERINE: (entering the room with the support of Murphy, tears falling down her cheek) "Oh Esther..My dear sweet Esther......I'm Here"
As we fade to ...
Billy...
Having left Canes room, is on his way to where he was told his mother would be. Racked with great guilt, sorrow, and sadness, anguish..and anger.....he makes his way down the hall...his eyes now drenched with tears, and his heart..heavy with grief....when he spots Olivia..cowering down on the floor, back against the wall..sobbiing...It is now obvious to Billy that she, too, has bore witness to some tragic news.. upon this night....he goes to gently lift her up from her position
when she gazes upward, sees who it is that is there to help her, she falls into his embrace, clinging to him, in her mind, some comfort that he has come to her, after hearing her news, and he, of no clue as to what tragedy that was placed at her feet....she pulls from him.....
OLIVIA: ( looking into his eyes) "Oh Billy.....It's so tragic.....She is gone...Do you know if Cane has been notified?"
BILLY:( Thinking she is asking about his news) " Olivia, I have no clue what my brother knows nor what he doesnt know........All I know is they're both gone..I should have been more..." ( olivia stops him)..
OLIVIA: ( confused, steps back) " "THEY"? No wait...I am talking about Lily....She didn't make it....She didn't survive the accident.....
BILLY: ( now mortified at more tragedy to deal with) "oh dear God no.....Wait.. She was with....Oh my God.. this night.....Just keeps getting worse....First Chloe...then Cordel...
OLIVIA: ( INTERUPTING HIM) " Oh my God, Billy, You haven't heard? You don't know? ( realizing he has no clue, by the confused look on his face) Oh Billy..she's.......( at this point ..being close to Jills room, they hear her scream) "OH NO..JILL...
BILLY:( forgetting what olivia was about to say) "MOM!!!!!!"
as we see them race to her room, we fade into......
Jill.....
Still deep in her depressive state of being, reliving that moment over and over....Haunting herself with the visions that now dance in her own mind....She weeps.....Profusely....
startled..she hears a noise... a look of horror..shear terror....etched deeply upon her face....she glances about the room, in a frantic rush.....that sound.....where is it? why is she hearing it.......frantic, yet unable to move about freely, she searches..with her eyes, in maddening desparation.....the noise she hears....louder.....the louder it becomes, the more frantic and horrified she is......having had all she can handle, she screams....
JILL: ( eyes closed, hands clutched deep in her hair, as if pulling it tight and hard will make it stop) "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......PLEASE GOD.......NOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
as we fade....to black......cue in the noise that now echoes forever so deep in her mind...the soft and gentle sound of.. a......baby....crying.........
APRIL 16 2009THE AFTERMATHGENEOA CITY MEMORIALWe fade into the Hospital Surgical waiting room.....Victoria....sitting all alone... waits for word on the condition of her mother, and the status of the surgery.....Having been informed that Victor is Fine, (suffering from a concussion, and minor scrapes and bruises, and scratches, he is being kept over night).....she waits...lost in the realm of her mind, thinking back to days that only she can see......she is startled as Jt enters the room....JT: (sitting down next to her, pulling her to him) "Any word on Nickie yet?Victoria: (showing signs of concern and worry for her mom, as her head lay close to JTs chest) " No..Nothing....I havent seen any one since they brought her in...Were you able to locate Nick? He needs to be HERE..with us.....(showing that her only concern is for the safety of their parents) JT: (looking to her with a little shock of her callous nature) Yea...I found him...He is With Sharon..and in case you wondered.....after they brought her in.. they were able to revive her.....He is with her now.. making sure she is ok....Then he said he needed to check on Phyllis and Noah....He'll be up as soon as he knows they are ok........Vic....they brought in Adam....." ( she doesnt move, nor shows any signs of concern or worry for her other brother)....."and Abby.......Vic...It's Abby.....She....... " ( he looks to her for some form of concern..some form of compassion, and sees none)....."she didn't make it Vic......" ( she buries her head deeper into his chest, as if trying to hide from the very words he is speaking...) .We pan up to see his saddened and dismayed facial expression as we watch him shaking his head at the very manner in which she is behaving as we fade to......The Newman RanchTack HouseExteriorEmt and Fire personnel are attempting to get through the rubble and debris, in search of any other possible survivors, within the last residence on the property. They approach the main entrance...which is shattered and blown apart.....and then they gaze into the main room...They make a visual observation of the feet of Noah, as well as the lower portion of his legs, protruding from a massive pile of debris, and force their way into the room, and then they discover it......the smell of propane fuel..wafting deeply through the area, now welling up deep into their very own nostrils, sickening them from its stench......each of the emts are placing a breathing apparatus over face to protect their breathing, when one of them hears the faintest of noise, now close at hand.....as he scans the room ever so quickly, within the area that once was a kitchen he sees a metal object of some sort, beginning to fall from the counter,.......as it is falling in the slowest of motions.. to the ground.......we see the emt grabbing his assitants and forcing them to the floor......as.they make their contact with the floor ......the explosion sends a massive pile of debris into their path, and onto their own bodies......as we watch the force of the explposion, sending debris flying through the air, we pan into the arm of Phyllis.....as her right arm now falls free from the very debris that had entombed her.....cue theme music as we fade to black.....

THE AFTERMATH
MULLHOLLAND PARKWAY.......HEADING AWAY FROM GENOA CITY...INTO A NEIGHBORING COUNTY.....CULVERTON COUNTY....WHICH LAYS 53 MILES FROM GENOA COUNTY....AND GENOA CITY....
We are inside of a vehicle...unable to visualize its driver...we merely see the gloved hand clutching the wheel.....hearing the radio ever so slightly.........we watch as the right hand goes to turn up the radio...to actually want to hear what is being broadcast....
DJ: "To the listeners out there.. this is DJ mxmaster Paul coming at ya live on the air wave......Just wanted to let you know that portions of the Parkway have been shut down earlier, due to a nasty nasty wreck out that way...Local authorities are asking you to remain clear from the area until otherwise notified....We also have an advisory from the National Weather Association in regards to that nasty storm that blew through earlier tonight..... Man what a nasty little thing that was..heard they had all kinds of wrecks out on that road...and from my sources, not yet confirmed, but authorities are saying Genoa City was hit really hard by the storm.......this is Dj Mxmaster Paull...back to our music...........
we fade to
Culverton County
Milers Creek Medical Plaza
The storm that devastated Genoa City has now passed through Culverton County and Milers Creek, We are now at the nursing station inside this facility, main floor......two nurses are talking as one doctor enters the station.
Destiny : (nurse one) (holding a patients file in right hand, leaning over the top portion of the counter/desk) "What a storm that was huh Alex? Whew glad we made it through that one...thought we were a gonner there for a bit.
Alex:( nurse 2) ( seated behind the desk, looking up to Destiny) " Yea it was a rough one i tell you. Coupla the patients had us going there for a bit.....( moves chair slightly so the entering doctor can have access into the station....) "goodevening Dr. Labner...glad you made it in ok....."
( she hands a file to the Dr.) our patient in room 128 had a rough time of it seems...Blood pressure elevated, attempted several times to remove iv, and the bandage. Was in an agitated state throughout the storm..was sedated..seems ok now....one in 129...still comatose..no reaction...no response..all meds administered per chart orders Sir. .Dr. Vorteuax stopped in before the storm and advised that 129 would be transfered soon...
Dr. Labner: ( Rising to depart the area, files in hand) That's fine. Thanks Alex, Destiny. Glad you both made it through. I am going to go chesk on 128 and 129. (we watch as Destiny and Alex return to their work at hand, as Dr. Labner moves on down the hall. He arives to room 129, but instead of entering, opens the first file.......as he quickly opens it, we see a photograph on the left and medical information to the right. unable to see the actual photograph, he looks amongst the medical jargon, shakes his head ) "no need to worry about you right now..you aint going no where any time soon" ( he then closes the file and moves to room 128...As he approaches the door, he opens that file, and yet again another unseen to us photograph, and medical information. He looks to the medical information...takes a big sigh and goes to open the door..) " I see you have been a rough one tonight.....well...you need not worry..you wont ever get outta here.. ( he opens the door, enters the room, eyes the patient and we simply see someone covered in bandages, and sheets, and blankets, and hear monitors clinking and beeping in the room. As the patient tries their best to rise from the bed the Dr. walks over and simply pushes them back down )
" Ok You..I dont want you to move about too much....You have sustained major injuries, and severe traumas...you are in a major state of rehabilitation....you cannot be moving around like this.".....
He goes to the Iv bag and as he is injecting the sedative into the line feeding our patient...we fade to...
CRIMSON LIGHTS
Michael enters the Coffee House, taking in all its destruction.....and devastation.....as he visually scans about the room, he hears a noise just to the other side of the coffee bar counter top.....we watch him...in slow motion...peek over...to see.....
Michael: ( Quickly jumping over the counter)....."KEVIN!!!!!"

Neil: "Karen? (seeing the full destruction of the stormys fury) KAREN!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!
Devon: ( Hearing neil, and visually locating him) "DAD!!!" Im over here......Hang on dad I'm coming there....( he moves broken tables, and shattered remnants of glass from his path)
Neil: ( spotting Devon, and attempting to move, but his body is racked with pain, having been forced down by heavy pieces of his own building) " Devon! ( Realizing he is in pain ) Ow!

Neil:(attempting to rise once more, and having difficulty) KAREN!! Devon, help me up....( Devon offers him his hand and arm for support) Where is she......"
Neil makes his way over to the area where Devon has placed Karen.....with a show of some form of love and respect for this woman, Devon took the time to cover her with one of the clubs table linens.....As Neil sees her body, laying beneath the linen, he falls to his knees next to her and begins to pull the linen from her face...
Devon: ( attempting to stop Neil) DAD!! DON'T....Don't look....
( grabbing Neils arm, attempting to stop his father from gazing upon the remains of Karen Taylor Winters)...She is in bad shape...don't do this.....
Neil:(pulling away from Devon in an abrupt manner, and defiant over his son) "Devon STOP it!!! ( he pulls the linen back and sees her face.....battered, scraped.....He begins to weep) OH MY GOD!!! KAREN...NOOOOOOO" ( as he bends down to pull her into his arms, he slides his legs in under her torso, pulling her into his lap, clutching her to him..... tightly .....as he breaks down and sobs deeply for her) OH DEAR GOD!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO....Baby...NOOOO..I am soooo sorry......" ( as he places his face next to hers, he breaks down...and then realizes that there is something not right with her body....as he goes to pull the linen back further to see what has him puzzled.....devon goes to quickly stop him)
Devon: ( abruptly attempting to stop Neil from looking any further into Karens Injuries) "DAD!!!!!!!!!! DONT !!!! YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW DAD!!!!! ( as they fight over the linen covering her lower body) DAD!!!! PLEASE DONT....( Devon begins to cry.....for respect and sadness towards Karen, for the situations that are now unfolding before them, but also out of sorrow and deep love for his dad and for what His dad is about to see.....)
Neil: ( losing all total control of his emotions, attempts to fight Devon off, by abruptly pushing him away, as he feels he NEEDS to see more.. he NEEDS to know) "DEVON...STOP.....(tears cascading down from his eyes in massive amounts, he pushes Devon to the floor behind him) STOP!!! OH GOD I HAVE TO KNOW..........
As Neil pulls the linen from her, he discovers what Devon was attempting to shield him from....Confused, bewildered.....and of no clue yet as to its meaning...he looks down to see a large portion of glass....lodged into the stomach....protruding from her.......a shard of glass .....from .....what once was.... the main entrance door....with the club logo "inDigo" etched deeply upon it.....Neil looks at it in a very bizarre manner......confused..
He lays his face to hers..... and cries......

I don't understand Jack" What ever could you mean?"Jack:( Sitting back down, looking upward) "Well, just about all of Genoa City is in here tonight.....I totally forgot who might NOT be here.....Then you guys come CRASHING in here...( trying to show SOME FORM of concern) "So...Jana...what's her deal?...What happened?.. Oh yea, so sorry to hear about Eden..wait.. you HAVE been here once tonight.....forgot about that......( back to his sarcastic tone) Now...those two.....what..The chipmunk get into a fight about a lost nut or what?"Michael:( Infuriated, but not taking Jacks Bait) "What? What an awful thing to say Jaaack....Jana was dead when we got here... but somehow....she ( he begins to flail his hands and arms about the air) she came back.....It's the darndest thing...."Jack:( looking at Michael, then beyond him) This whole night has been "the darndest thing"....Like I sad, almost all of Genoa City is in here......Michael: ( Looking at Jack..confused...) "More came in?"Jack: ( looking at Michael sarcastic and amused)..." Counselor, you could say that!! They've been coming in and outta here all night...coming left and right.......It seems NO ONE was spared tragedy on this night...." Michael looks to him confused as we fade to.....Sharon....Alone in her room, half asleep, yet half awake......She is somewhat startled as a distruaght and despondant Nick enters her room...apparant to her that he has been crying...in a panic..she quickly tries to rise from the bed...Sharon: ( Worried and startled) "NOAH.....OH MY GOD....WHATS HAPPENED TO OUR SON?!!!!"Nick:( upset, angered, confused) "Sharon, first of all ( he looks deeply into her) It's Summer....she didn't....she died....she...( interupted by Sharon)Sharon:( INterupting and hand over mouth) "OH MY GOD NOOO...NICK I AM SOO SORRY.....OH MY GOD...BUT NICK..I HAVE TO ASK NOW......WHAT ABOUT NOAH!"Nick:(Now somewhat angered at her lack of concern for his loss of Summer) "Sharon....Noah is downstairs....Noah....He is in bad ......bad shape.......he..( INterupted by sharon)Sharon:( Panicing, tying desparatly to get her legs to move) " OH NO.....NOAH.......MY BABY........ NICK...He was at the tack house with Phyllis wasn't he?

(as he says this she looks at him with total confusion,......wondering why he would be saying their son "needed" blood, rather than him just giving him the blood he needed) "Sharon.....they said I couldn't donate MY blood...I am not a ...viable match...for the type blood "our" son needs...( said in a defiant manner but also in the form of a question to her)Sharon: ( Shocked) "Not a viable match? Nick...you have to .........( at this point realization kicks into her mind and she goes off into her mind researching back to a different time and place.....as she snaps back to the moment at hand and to the reality of her situation......it's truth.. hitting her hard.........hand over mouth, mouth agaped, eyes wide open......)We....Fade...to.....black.......

Murphy:( He gazes up to her) Katherine....It's Nickie...Apparantly she was in some severe accident out on the highway earlier tonight... Katherine:( Clutching his hand, with her eyes locked tight on his) " How is she? Is she going to be ok? Murphy: Katherine....You know me....I'm just a bait and tackle kinda guy..I dont know a thing about all that medical mumbo jumbo....All I know is that she was badly hurt....some bumps, some bruises, some broken bones......some ( he pauses).......Some burns..."( Katherine quickly removes her hand from his, to cover her mouth...silencing the scream that boils deep in the pit of her soul)....They say that she's lost alot of blood....Her daughter..( he searches his brain for her name........) Katherine:( Sensing that he cannot recall Victorias name) "Victoria"....( now in a panic)...."It's Victoria...what did she say?" Murphy: (embarrased that he didnt recall her name, bows his head somewhat) " VICTORIA..yea thats it....said that they are needing blood donations..apparantly the blood bank downstairs is running low on blood tonight...They're asking for any one with her blood type to help donate blood.... Katherine: ( Quickly attempting to stand, but her knees begin to buckle, and she is weakened, and sits back down) " I have to go see what I can do....Murphy....( she begins to cry Lightly)...I have to do something.......( with both hands she waves them about her legs)....."seems these don't wanna work too well right now...... Murphy:( Rising from her side) I'll get you a wheel chair.......We'll get you up there......We'll see what we can do...( sees a nurse and stops her)..."excuse me Nurse....can you possible get a wheel chair for us? ( we watch as the nurse nods and departs the area).....Katherine...even if they cant use your blood for Nickie, I am sure some one tonight might be in need of it....Seems to be a lot of people in here tonight... Katherine:( Lost in her worry for Nickie, one hand placed upon her chin, the other extended outward and upward towards murphy, as she wiggles her fingers, as if she is reaching for his hand) "Oh my dear God...Nickie....." As we see Murphy reach down and grab her hand, we see the nurse arrive with a wheel chair....as they are helping to get her into the wheel chair we fade to..... ASHLEY........We pan into her room....slowly.....we see that she is resting....she is facing toward her left......her hands are placed to her side....resting atop the blanket that she slumbers beneath......we see a hand reaching for her right hand then watch as it clings to it tightly.......we focus in on Ashley...her face, and her hand......The gesture of love this person shows towards her forces her to awaken.......as she slowly forces the sleep from her mind and the reality to her soul.....she turns her head slightly.....to her right......to see that it is.....Victor who is holding her hand.........Victor: ( smiling as she gazes over to him, her hand is now in both of his) "My Dahling Ashley......I love you so much.......Ashely:( waking and seeing him) "Victor...are you ok?"Victor:( removing one hand, raising one finger to his lips to quietly silence her) "Shhhhh...My dahling......you rest.......I will be right here"Ashley: ( attempting to sit up in the bed, but yet the pain in her stomach forcing her back down into the bed... the reality of her situation hits her hard)...."Oh my God Victor......I am soooo sorry......( she takes her hand from his and places both of hers on her stomach and begins to cry) "Oh Victor...I am so ...so....so sorry.." Victor:( rising from his seat, he reaches over to kiss her softly on her cheek) "Ashley...There is nothing you could have done my Dahling....I love you.."(He kisses her once more) "Ashley, I have something...."( she interupts him) Ashley:( finally thinking about their daughter) "OH MY GOD..........ABBY.......IS SHE OK? VICTOR...WHERE IS ABBY?" We watch as he sits back in his chair and see that it is a wheel chair......As he sits back down, he takes her right hand into both of his.....She sees a tear stream down from his eye...as he clings to her hand tighter......she looks at him horrified.....freightened....petrified, for the news she fears she is about to hear......When he says nothing..it is his silence that answers her question.......She jerks her hand away from him, clutches a pillow closest to her heart and it is now that we see her break down..... Ashely:(Sobbing...screaming) "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!....."MY BABY!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! ABBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

THE AFTERMATH
GENOA CITY MEMORIAL
SHARON......
Having been totally sedated...she clings to one last lifeline to the conscious world......this night has unfolded...before her.....into a manner of which she would never have fathomed.....in all her dreams....all of her hopes......nothing could ever open unto her in the manner that has come before her this night.......she lay alone in her room.......she gazes..between heavy sleep laden eyes.........she flickers them.....to somehow grasp what bit of reality she can...before she wanders off to a world unknown to her......she hears a noise......to her right........being lethargic.....she slowly moves her head to her right...in the hopes it is who she loves........she sees him there........she sees him cry.......as best she can...she attempts to reach for him.......she calls his name.....
Sharon: ( right hand slowly rising from the bed, and in a soft tender whisper, being unable to speak in a louder tone due to medications she has been given) "Nick".......( her arm..heavy as lead...falls to her side...She looks to the ceiling..) "oh God...how can I tell him...."
We see that Nick has managed to sneak past the nurse and is now making entry, quietly, into her room......she faces towards the door..eyes too heavy for her to keep open...He walks to her bed......gently reaches down to take her hand into his own.......she stirs just a slight bit, and between tightly sealed eyes, she sneaks a peek up towards him....
Sharon:(trying to force the words from her mouth...) " N...N...Nii...Niiick......I...I ha...I have... ( he stops her)
Nick:( Placing a finger to her parched lips)"shhh...say no more...I already know...the nurse gave me the results.....I am sooo sorry Sharon...Does Jack already know that you
( unable to say the words, because in his heart he knows it was in all probablity his).......that you lost the baby?"
Sharon:(Totally shocked that he would even know that....by a sheer twist of unfortunate fate, that sheet of paper was given to the wrong person, but she does not know that Jack already knows)...."Wh.....wh...wh..what?...NO...Niiiick....noooooo...I dont know...( mustering up some small measurement of strength, she lifts her groggy head upward towards him, and sees his tears, and his anger).....NO...Nick..first of aaal...you should not have known that.....oh my god...no...Oh Nick....its....its about ...They didn't tell you?....(unable to speak to him any more, as she knows she is about to become encumbered with the greatest sleep...she points towards a chart..at the foot of her bed...) "loooooookkk"
As her head falls back and she begins her process of fading from the reality that now surrounds her, we watch a dazed and confused Nick walk to the foot of her bed...He removes the chart from the holder on the end of the bed rail.....He opens it to the first page..glances among all the medical jargon that he does not understand...and in the bottom line he sees what she was attempting to tell him before she slipped from this world, into a world of unconsciousness.....As he looks from the file, to her, he stands in total shock......as his face becomes crimson red from sadness, and anger...mouth dropped open....eyes...as wide as can be..from the shock ..we....fade....to....black....

We pan into the nursing station, main floor. Nurses Alexis, Destiny, and Jergirl are seated at the desk. Nurse Spatcher enters the work station.....we fade into their area....
Alexis:( looking down at the files in front of her, one in left hand, right hand on the stack) "What a night huh? the patients are riled up tonight.. There a full moon out or what?
Destiny:( seated next to her, looking through a stack of notes) "yea..a wild night indeed. Dr. Labner was soo agitated earlier.....THAT one needs to take a chill pill and call it a night...nothing more we can do about these guys and gals up in here...
Nurse Spatcher:( Enternig the conversation, apparently in a foul mood, and slams files down on the desk top) "Ok ladies...Dr. Labner is mad as hell....which one of you turned off the radio in 129? WE HAVE EXPLICIT ORDERS TO KEEP THAT THING GOING...I WANT TO KNOW NOW.....WHO TURNED IT OFF? We can't be going against his orders.....
Nurse Jergirl:( looking over at spatcher) I think I did....I wanted to hear the weather report while I was in there and when I heard it, I just shut it off..It won't happen again. I assure you.
Nurse Spatcher:( Pen in hand, raising hand and pointing towards the nurses in general, but speaking to Jergirl) YOU ASSURE ME? Well, I assure you of this....it is in their chart... You are to go to the strictest level of compliance to the Dr.s orders.....GO HOME....You are through here tonight.....get your things and get on your way out...The time will let you think about the severity of going against his orders....."
( she looks to the other nurses, who now look down at the desk, avoiding any and all eye contact) "any one else need a night off?"
As the other nursing staff agree in unison to an answer of no to her question......we fade from this area and begin to pan in on the bed side table beside the bed in room 129...as we pan into the room, we focus more on the radio atop this table.....as we go to focus in on this item..we hear that the radio station is on, and not an atmosphere disc......as we pan closer and closer to the radio we focus on the dj....
DJ: "DJ MIXmaster Paul ...coming at ya live out on the Mullholland Parkway.....Evening to ya all out there... What a night this has been.....The National Weather Association has just advised.....it ain't over yet guys and gals......Ya might just wanna hunker down inside..stay off the streets..cause they say that round two is gonna be heading in here quick.......27 miles due South West of Genoa County....another batch of storms have developed......Seems its the Daddy of all storms....might be in search of his little kid that blew through here bout an hour or so ago.....looks like the Folks over in Genoa County are in for a bumpy night....Got alot of high winds and severe lightening.....with a mixture of heavy rain and hail......all are advised to remain in.......

THE AFTERMATH
GENOA CITY MEMORIAL
JILL....
As we gaze discreetly into her room...we see that she is laying alone....no one to comfort her... no one to offer her support...alone in her exile...locked away.......armed guards staked outside her door......her mind races back to that moment........as she relives the earlier events of her night...she hears a noise...she turns to see the door to her room opening........uncertain as to who this person is, she looks to him confused...trying to recall ....in whats left of a stable mind...if she does know this person........
Jill:(Looking towards the door, as the person enters her room, looking confused and somewhat puzzled, but in her arrogant defiant mood) " May I help you? I have been through a rough last few hours and i am in no mood for anything more traumitizing tonight......"
Damian Lockwood:( holding a file in his hand, he opens it, looks inside, then to Jill) Jill Foster Abbott? I am Damian Lockwood, Attorney.....Ma'am..you have been notified of your arrest, and your pending transportation to the Madison County State Psychiatric Facility......(he walks to the foot of her bed, right side)....Mrs. Abbott, You are being charged with Vehicular Manslaughter, in regards to the decedant ......one Cordelia Katherine Valentine Ashby, to be so acknowledged and officially be changed to Cordelia Katherine Valentine Abbott, by Judge David Benjamin, at the time he presides upon his bench....( Jill looks at him in total amazement and awe......totally baffled at the charges....and feeling deflated by what he is telling her......she is sitting there, flashing back in her mind, that moment......he brings her back to reality..)..."Mrs. Abbott, I am hereby authorized to inform you that you will be remanded to the custody of the greater state of Wisconsin, to be held in confinement until transportation to Madison County Psychiatric Facility, Madison County....You will be confined in this area until a trial date has been set..Your attorney will be given a copy of the order, and will contact you at his or her convenience......Mrs. Abbott.....the Petitioner in this case has requested that you be transfered at the first possible chance, given the complexity of this situation.....The petitioner is registered as one.....William Foster Abbott.....Residing at.........."
As he proceeds to classify the official address of William Foster Abbott, we focus in on the horror....and terror...and shock...now etched deeply on her face with the sound of the crackling thunder ringing throughout the night sky..we...fade....to....black...
cue theme music.......
APRIL 27 2009THE AFTERMATHGENOA CITY MEMORIALHALL WAY OUT SIDE THE ROOM OF JILLThe door to her room is slightly ajar, allowing us the vantage point of peering into the room as Damian goes over her legal issues......As we pan in from the door way, remaining in the doorway, we can hear the information he is giving her.....as she begins to scream in shock...and total amazement that her own flesh and blood...her own child..would have done this to her...we begin to pan backward...slowly fading out of the door way....it is then that we see a form standing along the door frame...perhaps listening into the conversation......as we hear her protesting...we pan further back and see that......Billy.......is standing next to her door...eavesdropping into the conversation.......as we pan further back...eyeing his tear stained cheeks.....he garners the slightest hint of delight.....although suffering greatly over the loss of his daughter....he stands there...listening to this unfold........as he displays the slightest smirk upon his face.....he slowly walks away... feelling defiant...if but once in his life.......as...we....cue theme music....and.....fade.....to.....black......
APRIL 28 2009 THE AFTERMATH GENOA CITY MEMORIAL JILL...... Having been given a medical clearance for transportation to Madison County Psychiatric Facility, she simply awaits her departure, waiting for the police transport team to arrive....she reaches for the phone on her bedside table...... Jill: (lifting the phone to determine if she has a dial tone, due to the soft hint of thunder brewing just off in the distance...she determines she has a dial tone.....) "GOOD!!.....( looking to the ceiling as if she is looking upward towards angels) THANK YOU!!!" ( we watch as she dials a number then waits for the party to answer on the other end) "THANK GOD You are there.......I need you......REALLY BAD!!!!....Yes, I am in trouble.....What?........No.....I CAN'T call SOMEONE else...You are MY ONLY HOPE.......What?...they are about to cart me off to the looney bin over in Madison County thats Why!!!!.....YOU have to HELP me damn it....YOU HAVE TO..YOU OWE ME THIS.....PLEASE..IM BEGGING YOU......What?...Yea..Im in Genoa City Memorial? what? Where? oh you wont have any trouble finding ME thats for sure..Just look for the room with all the armed guards posted outside....NO...I DONT know when they're taking me...I just know its soon...YOU gotta hurry.....Just Hurry! PLEASE!!!!!! ( we watch as she disconnects the call, hangs up the receiver...) DEAR GOD, PLEASE......PLEASE HURRY......I NEED YOU NOW....... Cue in theme music As we fade to...... Total darkness before us.....We pan into a room...cast into total darkness..in slower motion the room begins to lighten up for us...we can now see the room is illuminated by candles.....as it becomes brighter we see that we are now in the hospital chapel...as the candles flicker and burn at the base of the Altar, we see that Billy has entered the room......We watch....as he walks slowly down the center aisle, in the direction of the altar....Stopping at the bottom step that leads up to the altar. we see that he is beat...battered....worn......the woes in live...now lay heavy upon his heart.....he kneels before the altar, gazes up towards the stained glass window, and begins to cry.... Billy: (hands locked tight into prayer, eyes fixated on the altar, he does not yet know he is not alone in the chapel) "Oh dear God....I know I am the last person you would expect to see in here tonight.....While I know I have no right to ask you of anything......Dear God...I need your help.....Well....actually God..It's Chloe.....SHE needs your help Lord.....I know you needed my little girl...why.... I do not know....( he begins to break down)...."Oh God....my little girl......I just don't understand.....WHY?!!!!!.....she was sooo innocent.......( he now bows his head and cries deeper)...."Oh God.....I am sooo sorry ......Please.....Take care of my little girl....Pleeeeeease......Dear God...this hurts soooooo bad......My heart...it huuuuurts.......My precious little baby........( his body, now resting on the backs of both legs, he hangs his head, deep into the palms of his hands and weeps.....) We pan back just slighty to see that some one else has entered and are now standing behind him....We see their hand reach down, and in a loving gesture, is placed upon his left shoulder...He is in shock that some one has entered and he did not know...we watch as he slowly removes his face from his hands and slowly turns upward to his left to see who has joined him in his time of need..as he makes the realization as to who has come to be with him..... we fade to....Victor....Having departed the room of Ashley, being that she has been heavily sedated by medical staff, is on his way to check on his children..... As a gesture of love and support for his children, he is on his way to them, and to also check on the status of Nicki....As he approaches the elevator.....it's door begins to slowly open...not knowing who is inside...Victor makes his way towards the elevator...as the doors open fully..we pan into the elevator to see that it is.........Jack..... standing just inside.....Seeing that Victor is having difficulties manuevering the wheel chair through the elevator entrance way, in a gesture of compassion, Jack makes the attempt to hold open the door.......Jack: (Holding the elevator doors open for Victor to enter) "Here, allow me...."Victor: ( Looking up to Jack in utter contempt..the mere thought that he now finds himself having to "look up to Jack in any manner" boils in the pit of his stomach, and in his usual subtle arrogance towards Jack)..." Thanks"... As Victor makes his way into the elevator, he positions himself so that he is now facing the doorway...we see that Jack has placed himself directly behind Victor...as the doors slowly begin to close.....We see Jack..staring straight ahead.....the slightest hint of an evil grin....displayed deeply upon his face......As the "white Knight" looms tall over the "Dark Knight" and grins...the doors begin to close as we cue eerie music mixed with the sound of thunder just off in the distance...and ...fade.....to.....black.....

THE AFTERMATH
GENOA CITY
As the storm is slowly brewing.....slowly building.....slowly choosing its own course of destruction.......growing closer and closer to them...we see into the hospital.........a place of tragedy......a place of sorrow.....a place where they have all found themselves to be.......before this one night is over........before they have the slightest chance of catching their very breath from the last storm......still yet another storm is brewing......on the inside......laying dormant......laying in wait.....its victims........unaware.......uncertain of its wrath... its fury.......its inner rage.......

Esther......
Alone in her room, She begins to force reality back into her mind...she rises from her bed, deciding that she would be better if she moved about the room.......she is still experiencing the tragedy of the news from earlier......not yet aware that Chloe is alive, and Cordelia is not.......her sorrow...her grief......overpowering to her....she clutches her stomach....and cries........as she walks about the room.........fade to.....
Billy.......
Having risen from the floor, when he discovered the person there to comfort him in his time of need...he has now taken a seat next to his friend.....Raul.........who, having heard the news on the radio, came to the hospital to be with his friends....not having told them of his arrival prior to this night......the elements of the evening trumping his surprise visit......He tells Billy that he was hoping to surprise him and their friends, but fate stepped in.......Billy relates to him the events that have unfolded........Billy knows they are soon to tranport His mother.......after he and Raul share a brief reunion........he decides to go and watch them escort her from the hospital....."for Cordelia" he tells him.......as he rises and begins to walk from the chapel...with Raul closely behind......fade to....
Cane.....
Having heard nothing about the members of his family, distraught over the news about Lily, devastated at his loss, and now knowing that his very own Mother was involvedin some sort of an accident earlier in the night, he begins to have sensations developing in his legs....he musters all the strength he can...for he knows he must rise from his situation and check on his mother......the only person in his life now.......for he knows without her he is all alone.........he makes the effort to make it to the side of his bed......now upright....his desire to free himself from this room.....a place where he now feels suffocated......forces him to his feet......he shuffles about the bed...still leaning upon it for some support until he can gain full use of them........we fade to......
Jill....
Having been secured, bound, and shackled......she is horrified at the state she now finds herself in...frustrated that fate has dealt her this hand....devastated at the images that play out in her own mind...reliving that one initial moment.....that moment when her whole life fell apart......through no fault of her own...her life has taken a tragic turn.......to the stretcher she is now secured.......all forms signed...all informations legalized.......her journey has just begun.......She secretly jerks her arm..in its restraint.....she sees that it has loosened somewhat....fade to.....

APRIL 29 2009THE AFTERMATHGENOA CITY MEMORIALWe fade into the main ER lobby of Genoa City Memorial........Murphy has now escorted Katherine to this floor......enroute to Esthers room........as they begin to approach her door.....they see Lauren, Gloria and Michael standing near the window....gazing outward...oblivious to their presence......As they near the corridor to where Esther is located..they are deterred from their current course of direction.......from the sound of Billy and Raul making their way towards them..having just departed the Chapel......As Billy approaches Katherine, he reaches down to hug her........and As Raul and Murphy make their introductions, we see towards the other corridor that Cane has left his room, and is leaning against the wall.....for support..as he too makes his way to the center waiting area.....within the same corridor that Cane is located in, just past him, we hear the creaking of a door opening..........not yet being able to see who is departing that room.......as the elevator doors on the North West side of the lobby open..........We see that it is Jill......secured to her stretcher......hands covered by a sheet...hands twitching beneath that very sheet.....heavily guarded by armed guards.......It makes its way towards the lobby.........As Jill comes face to face with Billy.....and Katherine.......she looks to her son....with the greatest of remorse.....and sadness...deep within her very soul.......He stands next to katherine.....and simply stares at her..........She tells him she is soooo sorry for what happened.......The sound of thunder crackling all about the sky above them...........Lightening ingiting the room in a show of light greater than that of the sun.......The sound of the South East elevator makes its arrival known...by the announcing of the floor it has arrived to.........The sound of thunder..and the ligthening chime in with the Bell of the elevator.....as the doors of the elevator begin to slowly open......the power to the hospital quickly flickers off........casting them all in to the darkest of dark.........the next sound we hear is that of two of the armed guards apparently being approached and their own weapon some how removed from their holster...we hear them fighting their assailant to protect the parties gathered here this moment..........The sound of thunder........and it is in the next explosion of lightening.....that we see them all attempt to run for cover..quickly.....not knowing where they should go......but attempting to place themselves free of harms way......then it happens.......the sound of gun fire.......the first shot goes off.....the fire from the weapon igniting the room.......the second shot......then the third........Thunder crackling........Lightening dancing about the night time sky........as we fade...to total darkness...........cue theme music......
MAY 1 2009THE AFTERMATHGENOA CITY MEMORIALFade into utter chaos and total pandemonium now unfolding in the darkened lobby as the sounds of thunder grows closer and the lightening becomes more intense.......the power returns to the hospital and as the lobby is cast into total brightness we see police officers scrambling about the area...one of their weapons lay unattended on the floor.....one of the officers yells to them all......Officer:( with his weapon drawn, and pointed towards the floor, as he visually scans the room) DON'T ANYBODY MOVE!!!!!! STAY DOWN!!!!!! ( he now sees another officer laying on the floor, so with one hand he offers him assistance in rising from the ground) "here..GET UP.....CHECK YOUR WEAPON NOW!!!!! ( he looks and sees that this officer has no weapon in his holster, and has a gash in the back of his head, which is bleeding) "OH CRAP!!!!! (calls to the other officer) "CHECK YOUR WEAPON...WE HAVE AN OFFICER DOWN WITH A WEAPON UNATTENDED!! DO NOT LET ANY ONE MOVE OR LEAVE THIS ROOM!!

March 28 2009 having just come out of all the drama over the numerous dna tests, the exhumation of marge, Dna proving Jill is related to neither Katherine or marge, and mac and brock Proving that she IS katherine ( the live one) we are at the Chancellor mansion....Nickie and Kay are seated in the formal room, having Juice ( since both are alcoholics) . Both are discussing all of the madness that has been going on, when Murphy enters, having just snooped around in Kays old atic upstairs.....He hands her a box....."Katherine, I found this, in a cut out of the floor, up in the attic, I think you should see this".. as Katherine opens the box, she sees an envelope addressed to her, via Mitchel Sherman, ( who now suffers from alzheimers and is back home with his family and unreachable) dated a few years back.......She looks at it, looks at Nickie, surprised at the finding of it, when Jill Burst through the door, Cane at her heels, and they look at Kay and Nickie, seated there, looking back at them... JIll: "ok, so You are NOt my mother, but we still have the issue of The house, My living here WITH you, you insufferable old bag of bones ( they are baaaaaaaaack to the fighting we love) What are we going to do about it?

Nickie: we ALL know Jill.. yea yea yea, Phillip left you half.. blah blah blah......Katherine, Go ahead, tell us what you were going to say when she rudely ( glancing in a huff at Jill and cane) burst in here like a wild woman.......Katherine: Well Nickie... My dear friend, seems Murphy found what I have been searching for all these years.....( she waves the envelope in the air, for Jill to see) This Jill, is what I need to throw you out of MY home... Yes Jill.. MY home...." (Jill, now purturbed at the nonsense she is having to endure, puts hands across chest, defensive mode) Jill : "katherine...there is NOTHING in that envelope thats going to change a thing....I own half this estate, and so you know, you old cow, My son Cane, and Lily are going to be moving into here, today, and there is not a thing you or any one else can do about it"....( she grabs cane by the arm, ushering him towards the door ) Katherine: "Jill, I think you should wait. this is the codocile to Phillips Will, dated 7 months after the will you brought up in court....Seems he grew tired of you after all, and reverted it all back to me, leaving you NOTHING....NOTHING Jill....Just like the trashy NOTHING you have been your whole life....I wil be so Damned glad to finally be rid of you once and for all.....( she walks over to her desk, picks up the phone, while glancing at the envelope, holding the phone in her hand as Nickie and esther and murphy come up behind her, she glances to the heavens, as katherines music is cued in the background) katherine: " Oh my god, Phillip... thank you.. My dear sweet phillip, thank you soo much.....Dear God get this woman out of my house.......( raise the level of Katherines music as we fade to black)....... March 28 2009 Fade into exterior of the chancellor estate......Jill, standing outside, looking at the grand mansion, and the estate grounds, wearing heavy rain gear, due to a torrential down pour/storm moving into Genoa city......As she gazes into the window, she sees Katherine, Billy, Chloe, Esther, Nickie, Paul, Jack, Ashley, Tracy,Brock, Mac, and Delia, all having a great time.... She drops to her knees, wailling and sobs tremendously, as she drifts back to days spent in and out of this house ( we relive many wonderful fights shared between her and Katherine in this house, through her memories.) next we see her walking past the old Foster home, reliving memories of her childhood here ( being that she isnt the First jill, some one else is brought in to play her and little snapper, and little Greg, as Liz shoos them outta the house so she can bake a pie).... Jill clutches her heart as the memories really tear into her very soul.....Feeling lost and most unwanted, at having lost it all, Katherine, her mother, and PHillip, and Phillip the third, and cane ( having been deemed not her biological child,) losing chancellor industries, and jabot, and John abbott, and just her life taknig a drastic nose dive, she walks around the exterior of the abbot house.. all darkened and quiet.. she softly hears a sweeter tender time she was once alone in the house with John Abbott, reliving the memories there.......Jill is now in her car, crying as many tears as are falling from the rain drops outside her car......unable to see clearly, being bombarded with tears, emotins and memories, she begins to just drive away.....unbeknownst to her as to where she aactually is on the highway, the rain, falling harder and harder, and the storm worsening by the minute....she has now entered the exact spot on the highway where, many many years ago a fatal car crash had taken place.......Jill wipes her eyes, and sees a vision, standing in the road in front of her...she, knowing the person, screams, as we see the car swerve to avoid hitting a person only she can see, and as the car vereens off the side of the steep embankment we ....fade....to...black.... March 29 2009 Cane and lily, now out in the torrential rain, raining harder than any one has ever seen, are in seach of where Jill could have possibly gone. Passing by The Chancellor estate, they see a large amount of cars. Still having the gate acces code, Cane drives on up to the main house, only to see that a Party is in full swing, and many Genoa city Finest are in attendance ( Except them of course) . Cane decides that his mother Couldnt be there....He gets a beep on his cell.. Looking at it ...Lily: Is that Jill? Cane: No letting me know i had a missed call, but it was from mum, but no message......Where could she be?".. He now decides to head out of town, to check the outskirts ( the old Foster place, and the old hair salon she worked at ( as Jill had mentioned olden memories to him just the other day), as he drives along, the rain worsens, and the storm thickens......We are now at the side of the road......Jill, having gone off the steep embankment, lays, unseen to us, inside the vehicle, turned upside down, wheels freshly spinning....as the camera zooms in on the tires spinning slowly, Split screen to the merriment at the Chancellor estate coming to an end...Guests Now departing, some, more inebriated than others.......unbeknownst to cane and lily, they have gone just past the point where Jill went off the road, come to a sharp bend IN the road, slow down to avoid a vehicle coming in their lane......They approach the street where the old Foster place is located, and Cane, feeling that Jill wouldnt be out in this mess, turns the car around....he is now heading back into town as he approaches that same sharp curve in the road, just as a car is headed towards them.......tires and brakes skreetching we fade to black as the sound of metal on metal brings it all to a crashing halt..... April 03 2009 April 3 2009 We fade in to a darkened, desolate highway, at the point in the road where the curve is the sharpest point......Camera pans in on the broken guardrail, broken in two places, yet so close in their breakage, but the night sky is as black as coal, as the storm is worsening,........rain, falling like pellets shattering glass, across the highway..... a bolt of lightening lights up the night sky and just beyond the guardrail, we see a pair of feet..motionless, lifeless, laying upon the earth, the force of what transpired throwing this innocent person to the ground with a major thud, as it lays lifeless, it lays in a downward motion, draping the earth on the steep embankment.....camera zooms closer as another bolt of ligthening illuminates the night sky, we now see down into the deep cavern where an innocent life or maybe two, have now descended.......A third bolt of lightening lights up the night sky as we see three vehicles, in total wreckage, down the steep embankment, two, resting on top of the one from a recent accidet, which has yet to be discovered.....another bolt of lightening illuminates the night sky, brighter than those before, and we now see that of an arm, motionless, with no life to it at all, dangling ever so sadly, covered in blood, as it dangles just outside the window....The most fiercest of lightening bolts takes place, making the night sky look like full daylight, and we can see one of the vehicles, tattered and torn, and ripped apart, exploding into a ball of fire, the noise of the explosion in close comparison to the thunderous clouds above.........cue in theme music as we fade to black........ APRIL 03 2009 we fade in..katherine, having just cleared the guests from her home, sits down on the couch, obvious she is exhausted....She leans back on the rear of the couch, head draped on the back, right hand draped over her forhead, palm facing upword, nails stretched outward, like a cat with its claws ready for the pounce......she is silent as Murphy enters the room, he eyes her seated as she is, and is worried that the recent party and the merriment of it might have been too much for her to handle, with her recent Lyme disease diagnoses.....he sweetly walks over, sits beside her, placing his hand sweetly on her right leg ....MURPHY: " Katherine, are you feeling ok? I know we had a large crowd here for your coming home celebration, but I am concerned...are you ok"?..when she doesn't respond then and there...he feels that she might have drifted off to sleep.. loving her as he does, he rises quietly from his seat and begins to walk away when he hears her calling for him.. with no energy left in her, very little life left in her spirit, she calls out to murphy, as hard as it is for her to do so, she calls for him...KATHERINE:' Muuuurphy.......I need you to."..( at whick point he hears her and is right at her side, now clutching her hand in his) MURPHY:" Kartherine, my sweet, I am here, what can I do? Do you need me to carry you to our bed? Are you too tired to go to our room? I can place you here on the couch, and will keep an eye on you all night if that is what you want"...knowing that Murphy is being so sweet and so loving, she simply tells him she needs him to call 911 as she is having difficulty breathing........Murphy, not wanting to panic in her presence, with an inner turmoil so true and so deep, etched on his face, but not in his actions, he races towards the phone....as He is picking it up to dial, he hears her, in such a sweet angelic tender voice...KATHERINE:" Hurry".....Cue in Katherines Music as we fade to black....... April 03 2009 APRIL 03 2009 We fade back in Just as the ambulance is making a maddening rush through the Chancellor estate gate........There is a fierce storm brewing, just off in the horizon... a storm the likes of which the residents of Genoa city have never known, and one that will never be forgotten.....with the storm fast on its approach, before the dawning of a new day, Six Lives, each, hanging by a thread, destroyed, by one single action.....Lies will be told, Lives destroyed, a deep secret unburied, as a life passes them by.......Within the shadows of the darkest skies, some one will be destroyed, while another, taken away.......As the ambulance passes through the gate......A bolt of Lightening, the fiercest yet of this dark and deadly night, lights up the Chancellor mansion, like a beakon in a storm.......Gazing out the second floor window, is a figure....Illuminated by the light from the bolts in the darkest sky.........KATHERINES music, more tragic and sad, begins to play as the figure in the window goes dark, and the ambulance hurries down the street.........fade to black...... THE ELEMENT OF LOVE, BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE, CAN PASS THROUGH TIME AND SPACE, CONNECTING TO EACH, A GREATER BOND, AND A GREATER CONNECTION IN THE TIMES OF DEEPEST SORROW...... (dont steal my phrase.....lol)APRIL 04 2009 THE UNFOLDING OF TRAGEDY...... We fade in, Katherine, having been brought into the emregency room, is on a bed, with Murphy to her left. He tenderly has a loving death grip on her Left hand, as they are still tending to her, A doctor enters the room, carrying her medical file in his right hand... Doctor: Mrs. Chancellor, I understand that you are here because you are having major breathing problems" (he notices that she is attempting to try to talk and answer him) "Mrs. Chancellor, I realize you are not feeling well, so I will do this.. So you can rest, relax, and not tax yourself too much, I will ask you simple questions. Yes or no type questions....Thumb up for a yes, or thumb down for a no, will that be ok for you?" ( at which point she smiles and gives two thumbs up..... Doctor: "now, Mrs. Chancellor, are you experiencing and chest pains? ( thumb down)...(He goes to her right side to check her pulse as we fade out of this scene and fade into the base of a steep embankment....Rain, hitting the metal like rocks being shot at metal tin......as we are looking at the total wreckage of one vehicle, the sky above unloads a massive explosion of lightening and thunder.....in the light of the bolt, we see the bottom portion of a body, protruding through the driver side window, half submerged in the darkest of muck, and mud, and earth, as the driver side door is slightly ajar, helping to keep the car from sinking further....in slower motion, with the sound of thunder in the background, we slowly pan up from the lower body part, to the interior of the vehicle...as the night sky is lit up brightly, we see that it is Jill, laying across the front seat, right side of her body, pinned down between the floor board and the seat, by the steering column....she is lifeless...unconcious at this time.......as the camera slowly pans back, giving a broader image of her fate, we hear a voice-over of a 911 call in reference to the accident that has just taken place.....as the radio transmission goes out to all or any officer in the area, to respond, we pan upward towards another vehicle, resting on top of Jills vehicle......we gaze slowly into the driver seat and see that it is empty, but see that the seatbelt has been ripped from its location.........as we pan slowly across the seat, we see a body, seated in the passenger seat, yet unable to determine identity at this point, we do see the arm, draped outside the passenger window, obviously suffering severe trauma, as it dangles there covered in blood.....as we slowly gaze upon this carnage, we hear an officer responding to dispatch communications, that he is in the area......We pan upward to our third vehicle...flipped up-side down, its roof resting on top of the second vehicle in the collision......radio communications continue as we pan to the wreckage of this vehicle.....destroyed, battered and beaten, having rolled violently down the steep embankmnet, we hear an officer in a hurried voice..... Officer: " Dispatch, 247 I think I have located the possible site of the accident called in moments ago. I am at the curve at Mullholland Parkway.. the guardrail has been split in half, pieces of it missing, as if something went through it ( it is now that we are looking at the guardrail, being pummeled with pellets of rain so hard, its noise it deafening.....( looking at an object on the guardrail, our officer stretches his neck, so as to be able to get some form of a visual on what he sees through the rain drenched window) Officer: " Dispatch, Unit 247, it appears ( we can now hear the shock and dismay in his voice) that a large portion of the gaurdrail IS missing, having been broken in the direction of the embankment.. I am going to go and look over and see what we might have down there......you might want to go ahead and dispatch emergency personnel, and possible back up.......( having exited the vehicle, with the rain, the thunder, the lightening, and the wind showing no signs of lettting up, we see as he approaches the side of the rail, not yet having looked beyond it or over it) Officer: DIspatch 247, I have ( now shocked) what appears to be,...... what once was.......a coat......all tatterted and torn, and somehow MESHED INTO the jagged edges of one side of the guardrail.....( at this point, he looks just beyond the area he is at, still shocked and horrified at what he sees here, he happens to see the feet, laying lifeless, among the earth..His voice now raised, and rushing to the thing he finds) Officer: Dispatch, 247, roll ems now.. and back up.. I have one victim, lifeless at this point, laying just beyond the guardrail...( as he grows nearer to the body, in horrified expression, he just happens to catch a glance down the embankment, getting just the quickest glimpse as yet another bolt of lightening ignites the darkened sky...) Dispatch: "Unit 247, dispatch, ems has been notified, and are enroute to you at this time, as well as any officer in the area....Dispatch is standing by at this time for any further informatuion you have......All units... be advised... all non essential radio communications need to go to channel 3 at this time.......unit 247 radio communications open for your dispatch".......( as the officer slowly approaches the body and begins to assess what he sees before him, and trying his best, to hold the contents inside his stomach, IN his stomach, dispatch comes across the radio....) Dispatch: "To all units, be advised, the National Weather Association has now issued a severe thunderstarm warning for all of Genoa County, to include Milers Creek, Mullholland Terrace, The Mullholland Parkway, Genoa City, and also Culver County........According to the NWA tornadic activity has been reported 6 miles South West of Genoa City, traveling North East at about 12 Miles per hour..

April 04 2009 APRIL 04 2009 as we fade in, the theme music is softly playing in the background ( a first i think) as we see the lobby of the hospital..Murphy, having left the room, so the Nurse and Dr can tend to kay, and try to determine why she has sudden attacks of pain at odd times, is seated all alone, with the utmost worry and fear in his heart and soul....he is truly saddened and worried about and for Katherine......We pan slowly to her, laying in her bed, split screen, as another explosion from the crash, takes place, she rises up in the bed, severe pain wrenching through her body, as the nurse and dr step away in utter shock and dismay......we then go to the abbott house, jack and Ash are seated in their formal room talking about the merriment of the party... Ashley: "well, I must say, that was a very interesting event there Jack...Oh, Have you heard if Billy and Chloe are back yet? When I came in, I went by the pool house and noticed no lights on, and neither of their cars are out in the drive...." Jack: ( standing and walking to a window, looking out at the fierce storm brewing, turns on a radio)" No Ash, I have not seen them yet.. Maybe they stayed on With Katherine.....No wait, they left before we did didnt they? ( looking deeper outside, as if seeing more in the storm than is actually there)....I just hope they are some where safe" ( the radio announcer comes in)........... Announcer: "We interrupt this story to bring you this breaking news story. Police are asking all residents in the area Of Mullholland Hills, and the Mullholland Parkway to remain clear of the area around Milers Creek. It seems, by our sources, that with the current weather sistuation, we have had a few accidents take place....Drivers, please, use extreme caution if you HAVE to be out in this mess...

( as we go to jack, and ashley, gazing, in worry and concern, that any one of their family could possibly be out in this, having heard the radio announcer, Ashley rises from the couch, walks to the window with Jack, and becomes worried at seeing the storm outside.......) Ashley:" Jack, Six miles, thats not too far from our house... you dont think that it's ( at this point, the power shuts off, and a rather large part of a tree is thrust through the abbott main entrance, shattering the doors, sending Jack and Ashely to the floor, by the couch, for protection.......Theme music plays as we ...fade...to..black...... April 04 2009 APRIL 04 2009 We fade in to the Genoa City Country Club. Gloria is seated, with the fireplace to her back. Lauren, holding Fenn, is to her left, and Michael, sits across from Gloria.... Gloria:" Michael, I am glad you, and Lauren and Fenn Could Join me. That weather is really nasty out there. I feel better just knowing you all are here with me.....( Eden approaches their table, cell phone in hand and goes to sit at Glorias right) Were you able to reach Noah? I hope he is in out of this storm, and safe. Is he home safely?" Eden: (sitting to her right, and placing the cell phone down on the table, looking to Michael, some fear and trepidation on her face) " No I couldn't get a good reception in here, so I went to go outside, when Gina stopped me, and warned me not to go outside because of the storm. She said that a tornado had been spotted not far from here and ( it is at this point Michael, who is cooing over Fenn, with Lauren, Looks up to his left, in the direction of the Bar area. Hearing a very strange noise, a look of total fear and shear terror comes across his face...in slower motion, He shouts for them all to get under the table.....Just as Eden is almost under the table with them, the wall where once the bar stood, comes crashing in towards them, in a quick and tragic rush, with parts of the ceiling crashing down on them.......) (We are now taken Upstairs, to sharons room. She and Nick are in the throws of passionate lovemaking when nick looks to the ceiling, hearing a horrendous crashing noise around them, they both freeze, for fear of what is about to unfold before them... Nick, in a split second, thrusts sharon off the bed, down onto the floor, and as he goes to turn and reach for the mattress to pull over them, the ceiling in their room comes crashing down......) (We are now at the Newman Ranch...The Home of Nick and Phyllis.....Phyillis, all alone, clutching Summer close to her heart, sobbing hysterically, as she knows in her heart where Nick is at this precise moment, is startled when she hears their door burst open, and in comes Noah...)
