"However long that might be" Ethan laughed and then continued "Or
that of your daughter!"
Honey's faced darkened, she cried out.
"What have you done with Nicola? What have you done to her you
animal?"

Scott was in his apartment watching some telly when there was a
knock at the door. He turned off the telly and answered the door. It
was Cameron.
"Hi how are you?" Scott asked.
Cameron walked into the apartment and then turned around to answer
Scott's question.
"I'm fine considering I spent most of yesterday following that
American cow around with her shopping bags"
"What?" Scott replied not understanding the reply.
"You told her that I was gay and she blackmailed me. Why the hell
did you tell her?"
"I didn't. I have only told Vince. She must have over-heard me
talking to him."
"Who is Vince?"
"A friend of mine and her mother's. He's gay and.."
"And were you trying to set me up with him or something?" Cameron
was clearly annoyed with his sexuality becoming Rio's weapon to
blackmail him with.
"No of course not. He was asking me questions. He thought I was gay"
"And are you? After all you did kiss me or had you forgotten that?"

~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~
Scott was running down a street, it was a dark and there was a
thunderstorm. Thunder could be heard and a few seconds later
lighting lit up the sky. The rain got heavier and the streets darker
as Scott ran round a corner and into a gate. He opened the gate and
run down the path and knocked on the door. After a few seconds the
door opened and Cameron looked shocked to see Scott.
"Scott come in" He said, and moved out the way to allow a soaked
Scott to come in.
"Thanks"
"What are you doing here?" Cameron asked as he closed the door.
Scott was standing be radiator, shaking.
"My mum is on lates so I thought I'd come over a film you, for my
film. You don't mind do you?"
"Of course not, come through," Cameron said as he led Scott through
to the living room. "Give my your coat, you look freezing. Sit by
the fire, you can film me from there"
"Cheers"
"So what do you want me to do?"
"Just act naturally" Scott laughed "I'm showing the film next week
if you would like to come"
Cameron came over to help Scott take his coat off. He was just about
to pull the coat of when he caught Scott's eye. They starred into
each other's eyes for a second and then Scott kissed Cameron.

"I need to talk to you're general manager, head chef, promotions
manager and press officer" A tall, blond and attractive woman
demanded. Virginnia looked up and took of her glasses; she was about
to talk down to the women.
"I'm afraid that's impossibly."
"Really. I'm Kelly Staton, Mr Price's PA. I need to speak to them
about the arrangements for next week. Now please tell your general
manager I am here and wish to speak to her"
Virginnia didn't look happy at all but knew she had to back down.
"Very well if you take a seat I'll try and get hold of her"
Kelly left the desk and headed for the seats. Kate came out of the
lifts and walked over to Virginnia.
"Kate I was just about to ring for you. A Mrs Kelly Staton is over
there. She is Mr Price's PA."
"Thank you Virginnia"

"I haven't done anything to her yet" Ethan replied, with his usual
evil menace. He took a step back from Honey. "And I won't do
anything to her if you get back to Crossroads now."
"But"
"But nothing. It's simply Honey. The Samsons or Nicola. You will do
what I tell you otherwise Nicola will end up like Jenny. Dead under
some statue. Now get back there and when I tell you to kill Jimmy
you will!"

"Hi anyone home" Phil said as she walked into Joe's apartment.
"Hi come in," Joe replied as he came out of his darkroom "How's
things between you and Carl" He asked.
"You know! Who told you?" Phil said, smiling, as she sat down.
"Belle mentioned it"
"Well he got the seal of approval from my mother"

~~~~~~~Flashback!~~~~~~`
Wanda, Belle, Phil and Lola are talking at the edge of the bar area.
Carl is at the bar talking to Tracey. Belle looks at Carl and then
at Wanda.
"Well what do you think?" Belle asked.
Wanda smiled. "He's got three things I like in a man. He's good
looking, charming and loaded!"
Phil, Lola and Belle looked at each other as Wanda put her thumbs up
to show approval of Carl.
"Does he know what he is letting himself in for?" Lola added.

~~~~~~~~~
"What that says I don't know" Phil joked. "Carl liked her anyway so
that's a good sign. Anyway enough of me how's things going with you?"
"Bad. Cleo called my mother."
Phil could see that Joe clearly didn't want to go into much detail
and decided to change the subject. She saw a black book on the bed.
"What's this?"
"It's a book about Jenny's movements, what I know of them"
Phil picked up the book and opened it. "It says here she stayed at
the hotel"
"Yeah Cleo asked Kate and Kate remembered her"

~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~
"Joe" Cleo shouted as she ran across reception heading for Joe. Joe
was over by the lifts.
"Hey, what's up" He smiled as Cleo got nearer.
"I asked Kate about Jenny. According to her Jenny was staying here.
She signed out on the 14th of January without paying her bill"
"Did Kate see her?"
"No but there is bound to be CCTV footage of her leaving the hotel.
If she used a cab we can ask the cab firm if anyone remembers her.
Why don't you ask Rocky about the CCTV tapes" Joe smiled and walked
over, closely followed by Cleo, to Rocky. He was talking to
Virginnia.
"Rocky could I have a word please"
"Certainly Joe. What can I do for you?"
"Do you still have the CCTV footage from January?"
"No. After three months the tapes are destroyed"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cleo walked into Joe's room.
"Oh you're busy. I'll come back later."
Phil got up and decided now would be a good time to leave. "No I was
just leaving"
She smiled at Cleo and then left.
"Have you come to apologise?" Joe asked.
"No Joe I haven't. I came here to tell you to grow up. What ever
your mother did in the past can't mean holding a grudge against her
if she can help find Jenny. Isn't Jenny more important than holding
a grudge"
Joe looked uncomfortable at the statement and was about to reply. "I
haven't finished yet," Cleo said, clearly seeing Joe's attempts to
talk. "You should phone Sylvia up and ask her to come back. Two
heads are better than one Joe!" Before Joe could even reply Cleo
walked out of the apartment.

In the kitchens various hands were running about. Vince was in his
office but the blinds were closed. Lola and Betty were over by a
freezer.
"What should I do with it?" Lola asked. Betty sighed and looked away.
"I'm not sure. I think we should leave it there for now and then
move it at night"
"But what will you tell Angel?"
"That Mittens has disappeared and we can't find her. It's more Oona
than Angel I'm worried about!"

Kate smiled and walked over to Kelly.
"Mrs. Staton I'm Kate Russell, General Manager" Kelly got up and
shaked Kate's hand.
"Delighted Mrs. Russell. I just need to go over some last minute
arrangements for next week. I will need to speak to your promotions
manager, press manager, head chef and head receptionist"
"Well I'll take you to see Vince now. He's our head chef"

Kate and Kelly walked into the kitchen. Lola was back at work and
the freezer was closed. Vince was rushing around and dishing out his
usual put downs to the various kitchen staff.
"Vince I need to talk to you" Kate said as Vince was rushing around.
"Very well but as you can see I'm under staffed. What is it?"
"This is Kelly Staton, she needs to talk to you about the Fashion
Show next week"
"More the party. We're having a launch party and a closing party and
we want you to do the food. Only the best we will have top models,
celebrities, businessmen and the press. We want to impress all of
them not give them food poisoning" Kelly said, with the same acidic
tongue that Vince had been using to his kitchen hands moments before.
Vince stood speechless to begin with and then turned to Lola.
"Lola get out the chickens from the freezer"
"Err I can't." Lola said trying to make up some excuse to stop the
freezers being opened. "I'm a vegetarian"
"Oh get out of my way then." He then walked over to the freezer.
Kate and Kelly followed him. "I let you know that I have never given
any food poisoning. I'll do my best considering I'm under staff"
"Mr. Vaccarro I'm not interested in your staffing situation. All I
want from you is top notch food on Monday and Saturday."
Vince looked at her but was digging around in the freezer. "And that
is what you will get" He said pulling out Mittens. Kelly screamed
and Kate looked horrified as he showed what he had pulled out.
"Lola!" He shouted.

"And where have you been? Two hours late is a record even for you!"
Virginnia shouted out as Honey came over.
"I had to visit my mother. She's ill"
"Likely story I'm sure" Virginnia commented under her breath.
"Shut up Virginnia I'm not in the mood"
From the kitchens a loud commotion could be heard. Kelly Staton,
Kate and Vince came out of the Kitchens.
"I can assure you this won't happen on Monday" Vince said.
"I should hope not! The last thing Mr. Price needs is to be seen
with a frozen cat! We could do without the Cruella Di Vill headlines
from the press. Just get that thing out of my sight"
"Certainly. Vince you'd better take it up to Mrs. Samson. I think
it's her cat"
Vince hurried off across reception with the cat. Several guests
screamed at the sight of it. Virginnia and Honey looked on almost
terrified of what would happen next.
"I do hope that isn't a regular thing. What was Mrs. Samson hoping
to do with it, in the fridge? Cook it? Now I suggest we move on to
reception before I change my mind about holding it here"

"What?" Scott said, looking confused and worried.
"Don't try to deny it Scott. You kissed me" Cameron sat down on the
sofa and Scott in an armchair.
"I was confused. I didn't know....."
"Not was Scott. You still are aren't you?"

"Mr Price will be arriving tomorrow. I hope his room is booked; he
will want the top suit. I will also be staying. I had planned to get
everything sorted today but events have prevented that."
" Yes. Well Mr Price will have the Meg Mortimer suit. All the other
guests, involved with the fashion show, will have rooms on floor
three" Virginnia replied.
"I'll take you up to your room" Kate said smiling.
"It's room 304" Honey said passing the card to Kate.
"Enjoy your stay" Virginnia added trying to smile. Kate and Honey
nearly burst out laughing.
"I doubt I will. I just dread to think what dinner is tonight at the
restaurant!"

"I'm not. It was a mistake" Scott was trying to find excuses as to
why he had kissed Cameron but could find none.
"How can a kiss be a mistake? I bet you're only going out with Rio
because you're in denial. Answer me honestly Scott, do you
fancy me?"

Angel opened the door; Vince had the cat behind his back.
"What do you want Vince?" Angel asked as she walked from the hall
into the living room and sat down. Vince produced the cat from
behind his back.
"I'm afraid Mittens had an accident" Vince said, trying to talk to
Angel. Angel saw the cat in Vince's hands and gasped.
"Accident! I bet one of those stupid kitchen hands thought it would
be a laugh to lock her in the freezer!" Angel was crying by now.
"I'm sorry Mrs Samson" Vince said trying to be as polite as possibly.
"I want them all sacked! Do you hear all of them!"
