199: Ryder's Stranger Things

 On Verdon Lou Rd., a road that has no outlet sits the house Ryder is squatting in and now providing shelter to Mary Carter.

Ryder: No one will find you here Mary. This is a run down side of GC that no one ever talks about.

Mary: I don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad.

Ryder: You seem so ungrateful. I came to save you from Daisy. She’s looking for you.

Mary: Because she thinks I slept with Daniel, the father of her child.

Ryder: Well you did.

Mary: I know that Ryder. And look at what became of it. I’m pregnant.

Mary says as she rubs her baby bump.

Ryder: Well the baby may not be Daniels. It could be Scotty’s or Noah’s.

Mary: As mother wanted.

Ryder: It’s part of the plan. Sheila wanted you to sleep with all three men in order to have another insurance policy in case things went south. Mothers ultimate goal was to free the Carter name from any and all crimes.

Mary: And mother sure has a long list of them.

Ryder: If you have Scotty’s child, mother will be happy as it will torment Lauren for life. If you are carrying Noah’s child, then we have the Newman’s and we can use this baby as leverage with Victor. A Newman baby for our freedom. Then if its Daniel’s, mother says it would be revenge on Phyllis for keeping Lucy away from Daisy and that look alike Phyllis thing that got Aunt Suga killed. I know mom has never gotten over losing her sister.

Mary: The sounds of all this makes me sick. Like my love box is some heavy duty worker for revenge. This is so awful. I don’t know if I want to go through all of this.

Ryder: Well it’s too late now. Sheila set all this in motion over a year ago. We have to continue on even though she’s dead. You are carrying our ticket to freedom.

Mary: It’s my child, not a thing!... Mother should have left some money for better accommodations for us. I want to soak in the tub and paint my nails.

Ryder: Your starting to piss me off Mary! I went through a lot to get us this house.

Mary: You mean haunted house.

Ryder: So first things first, we need to get Scotty on board with this baby. I already know Lauren is questioning your identity. I don’t think there is any way we can prolong this Vandalynn character any longer. It’s just time to confess to Scotty and his mother who you are. It’s time to stick it to Lauren. That way we can throw Daisy off your trail and she won’t be so adamant in trying to prove that you slept with Daniel.

Mary: I like the plan and I can get Scotty to get us some better accommodations.

Ryder: No just you. I’m staying here. I have plans.

Mary: Plans?

Ryder: Just worry about you and Scotty. I’m going out to find us some scraps to eat and to keep my ear to the ground as far as Scotty and Lauren go. Tomorrow it will be time to let them know who you are. We gotta keep the plan moving.

Ryder walks into his room as Mary watches him.

Mary: Ryder has no soul or heart. My brother has lost it. He’s treating my baby like it’s a thing and not human. But anything to get the hell out of here, I’ll tell Lauren and Scotty a million times over I’m Sheila’s daughter to be out of here.

She thinks to herself.
                                                       
All of a sudden, 

Mary hears the Halloween theme song being played from a very loud radio in Ryder’s room.

Mary: What in the hell is he doing?

Mary gets chills going up her spine as she is a little bit scared at the whole scenario, the music, Ryder being creepy and this dark vacant house that has a weird chemical smell to it. She backs up into a corner and digs in her purse to see if she has a weapon of some kind in case she may need it.

Mary: Ryder is crazy.

The Jail

Daisy slowly opens a door that has a “Meeting in Session” sign on it. She doesn’t want to make any sounds as to not interrupt what is happening. She takes a seat and sees Roxanne walk up to the podium.

Daisy puts her hand in the air and waves at Roxanne. Roxanne smiles and waves back. Seeing Daisy gives Roxanne, a sense  of calming comfort. She takes a deep breath and adjusts the microphone.

Roxanne: Hello everyone, I’m Roxanne Parker and I’m an angry woman.

Crowd: Hi Roxanne!

Daisy gives Roxanne a thumbs up.

Some time has passed as Roxanne has told her story.

Roxanne: So, I pledge to be happier person. Thank you.

Everyone gives her a round of applause as Roxanne steps down from the mic and podium.

Daisy stands up and gives the loudest response by clapping over everyone else and whistling. Roxanne walks over to Daisy and gives her a big hug.

Roxanne: It’s so good to see you. Thank you for showing your support.

Daisy: I’m proud of you. You finally completed your anger management classes.

Roxanne: I  did and I’m so happy. I have a new outlook on life. I’m not going to use anger.

Daisy: Well there are some things making me angry.

Roxanne: Well I’m free now so let’s go grab drinks and catch up.

Daisy: Sounds good to me.

They leave the jail.

The Chancellor Mansion, Phillips Room

Phillip comes out of his bathroom after vomiting. He’s sweating and anxious. He begins to pace his room.

Phillip makes a call on his cell phone.

                “Rufus, damn it answer the phone! I need a hit!  I’m going through withdrawal. Call me as soon as you get this.” 

He hangs up the phone and throws his phone on the bed in frustration. Then he hears commotion and loud voices coming from down stairs.

He walks over to his window and looks down in the drive and sees Nina’s car is back.

Phillip: Damn the last thing I need, the family seeing me like this.

Phillip’s cell phone rings and he rushes over to the bed and answers it.

Phillip: It’s about damn time… I do not like waiting like this. I’m paying good money here. ..I need to get out this house I don’t want to see my family… Ok I’ll meet you at Hungry Hearts.” 

Phillip smiles and hangs up. He grabs his wallet and sneaks out the servant’s entrance.

Just as Nina and Chance walk into Phillip’s room.

Nina: He’s not here.

Chance looks in the bathroom.

Chance: No.

Nina: Now where could he be?

Downstairs,

Esther goes into the kitchen to make tea.

Karynn is sitting with Mackenzie on the couch.

Karynn: I’m so sorry for your loss Mac. Your father was very nice to me and my brother when we arrived in town. But sadly, Karl is no longer with us.

Mac looks at a tearful Karynn.

Mac: Oh, I’m sorry Karynn.

Mac gives her another embrace as they both cry together holding one another.

Karynn: But it will get better. We were blessed for the time we had with Brock and Karl.

They are both resting in peace.

Mac: Along with grandma. Together.

Karynn: Yes, along with my sister Katherine. Now chubby Nina says you are the new executor of the will?

Nina: Despicable. Already hounding over the will. You may not be mourning but I’m sure Mac is.

Nina says coming down the stairs having over heard Karynn’s question.

Karynn: Life is too short. There is nothing wrong with asking if Mac, my great grandniece about the will. We need to get this thing rolling. It’s been months since my sister died and damn it I need money now that Karl’s money is gone.

Nina: Because he’s dead.

Karynn: Thanks Nina. I already knew that. No one is going to support me but me so just step aside and go help Esther put some snacks together for the will reading. I’m sure the guest will be here soon.

Mac: Correct. I’ve sent all the correspondences out.

Nina: Someone has to put a stop to this. Karynn cannot go on representing the Chancellor name in such a low-class manor.

Karynn: Nina you and I are headed down an ugly path. I’m warning you. And let’s not forget you married into the Chancellor family, I share the same blood with Katherine. It’s good she was my sister and after all these years of being forgotten about, like I said from day one when I arrived, I’m here to collect. So, scurry on into the kitchen, Mac here is hungry.

Nina is in shock at Karynn’s bold tone and can’t even utter a response. She turns around and walks into the kitchen like a puppy with its tail between it’s legs.

Lauren’s Penthouse

Lauren and Scotty walk in, with Lauren throwing her purse on the sofa and Scotty goes straight to his room closing the door behind him.

Lauren pours herself a glass of wine. She can only think of her time with Sheila Carter as she has another flash back.

                “I will not let this happen. I don’t know how I am going to stop it but Mary will not be having Scotty’s child. We just have to find her and find out why  she set us up.” 
Lauren thinks to herself. She opens her phone and sends a text to Nick.

                “I need a friend and a good drink.”

She gets a response.

                “See you at the GCAC in 30 minutes."

Lauren grabs her purse and jacket and leaves.

Meanwhile Scotty is laying on his stomach across his bed. He’s texting Kirkland of Bay City.

                “I’m going 2 b a freaking dad. Vandalynn set me up.”

Kirk responds “Scotty you have some tuff choices 2 make. What about your secret lifestyle. Your bringing a child into this world.”

Scotty: I can’t think. This is all so much 4 me. I’m gonna clear my head. TTYL."

Scotty hits the send button.

Scotty gets up and leaves the penthouse looking to clear his head from all the drama and emotion.

He tries to call Mary but it goes to voicemail.

Scotty: Damn it Mary where are you!?

He wonders to himself as he heads into midtown GC enjoying the cool evening.

Ryder’s Haunted House on Verdon Lou Rd

The scary music stops. Mary is standing in the corner of the living room. She doesn’t know what may happen next or what other scary surprises lurk her way but she is still trying to find something, anything that she may be able to use a weapon just in case she has too as Ryder gets stranger and stranger.

Ryder comes out his room and Mary screams.

Ryder rushes over to her and covers her mouth as he stands behind her. Mary is now panicking.

Ryder: Calm down Mary. This isn’t be good for the baby. I’m going to move my hand and you promise you will stop screaming? I don’t want anyone to hear you.

Mary nods her head.

She looks at her brother. She reaches out to touch his face but he pulls back.

Mary: What is going on?

Ryder: I like to scare people.  I scared you real good. I like feeling power and control over people. Besides I need to hide my identity. Especially from Daisy in case I see her lurking about town, she’ll put everything together if she saw my real face. This is  how I’m going to get our scraps of food tonight. I’m also gonna look for Scotty and get the vibe there and report back to you.

Mary: Scotty is probably worried sick about me. Tomorrow the truth will come out. I will tell Lauren and Scotty both that I am Mary Carter…

She rubs her baby bump.

Mary:  Well baby and I are kind of hungry.

Ryder: Ok, I’ll get moving then.

Mary: Ryder wait a minute. I’ve been meaning to ask you, what is that chemical smell in here, are you doing some cleaning?

Ryder: I don’t smell anything. Maybe your mistaken it for the gas I had to put in the power generator. Be back soon.

Ryder grabs a black bag and then leaves the house.

Mary: Ryder has to smell that. I know what gasoline smells like and this is not gas…Maybe now would be a good time to look around.

Mary tries to decide which part of the darkened abandoned house she should begin to search. Maybe she will come up with something that will explain this never seen before side of Ryder. She decides to start with his room. She slowly walks over to it, nervous as to what is on the other side of the door. Whatever it is, it can’t be good considering Ryder was playing Halloween music  and he came out his room with his face painted. She opens the door and screams in horror at what she sees. She jumps back and falls to the floor moving away from the door as if she is trying to get away from something that is after her.

198 Mary Carter is having Scotty's Baby!

GC Memorial

Lauren is on her knees in the hall way outside of Mary Carter’s room.

She’s crying and is very hysterical.

Lauren: No! Not my Scotty! After all these years Sheila has managed to get her clutches in you again. Oh my god!

Lauren has a flash back of one of her many confrontations with Sheila.

Lauren: She’s a monster!

Scotty shakes his head in disbelief.

Scotty: How could this be happening? Vandalynn lied to me. She set me up.

Daisy looks down at Lauren with a smile.

Daisy: I feel much better now. It  feels so good  knowing I’ve ruined your day and the rest of your life. I wish my mother was here to witness this. She’d be so proud.

Lauren: Go to hell Bitch!

Daisy: Tootles Lauren, until we meet again.

Daisy walks away from Scotty and Lauren.

Lauren looks up at Scotty, wiping the tears from her eyes. Scotty helps his mom stand back on her own two feet.

She looks at him.

Lauren: Scotty how could you do this, how could you let this happen?  You are having a child with Sheila’s Carter daughter. What are we going to do?... This cannot happen… I won’t let it!

Scotty looks at his mom with so much going through his mind like the fact he’s going to be a father.

Story Consults: Alex Washington and Cary Richardson

 Phyllis take s a seat besides Avery’s bed as the nurse finishes  cleaning up Avery’s wounds.

Avery: I heard someone sit down.

Phyllis: It’s me sis. I came to see you off.

Victor then walks into the room.

Phyllis: They say when one of your sense gives out your others are more active or something like that. Do you sense a dark force in the room Avery?

Avery: Not really.

Phyllis: Victor is here.

Avery: Victor it’s nice to se- well It’s good that you are here.

Victor: I don’t want to interrupt sister bonding but-

Phyllis cuts Victor off.

Phyllis: Yes you did otherwise you wouldn’t be here!

Victor looks at Phyllis.

Victor: Upset Phyllis?

Phyllis: Just leave, your turning this into something it should not be. I’m trying to see my sister off and here you are darkening things up.

Victor: Have you seen Nick or your good friend Lauren? It was nice seeing them together the other night at Gina’s. They look good together.

Phyllis: You bastard!

Avery: I don’t understand what is going here? Nick,…Lauren?

Victor: Phyllis here is upset that Nick and Lauren are dating.

Phyllis: Ridiculous. I don’t have time for this.

Victor: Anyway, Avery I too came to see you off. You were always loyal to me and I appreciate that. I thank you for what you did for me at my trial.

Avery: It hurt many people Victor. What I did for you is not one of the proudest moments of my career. The stress of it led me to lose control of myself. I had an affair with Cane and we were snorting coke.

Victor: I’m very sorry about that. If there is anything you may ever need you can count on me.

Phyllis: Just don’t ask for any money. Victor is broke as a joke.

Phyllis smiles at Victor knowing she hit him wear it hurts.

Victor nods.

Victor: I’ll tell Nick and Lauren you said hi.

Phyllis: Yea you do that Victor. So nice of you to stop bye!!

Victor turns around and leaves running into Daisy as he does.

Daisy: Hello Mr. Newman. Good to see you out of jail.

Victor: You to young Carter.

Victor smiles and leaves.

Chicago Ill, Nursing Home

Nina walks over towards Karynn and Esther who are still sitting across from Karl’s now empty cold room. Karynn wipes her eyes as she looks up and sees Nina.

Karynn: I don’t want any pity from you chubby.

Nina: Even through mourning you’re still a sour person.

Karynn: Oh yea, well get ready because I have more of that where that came from.

Nina looks at Esther.

Esther: I can tell something is wrong, what is it Nina?

Nina: Just got bad news from GC.

Esther: Bad news, what could be worse than Katherine’s brother Karl dying?

Nina: Mac called me.

Esther: Mackenzie?

Karynn: I remember her. She was so nice to me and especially Karl. Karl was very smitten with her. Mac welcomed us with open arms when we arrived in GC as you guys call it.

Esther: Bad news surrounding Mac, oh my.

Nina: It’s her father Brock. He’s been killed in an air plane crash.

Esther screams out and stands up covering her mouth with her hand as she is in shock.

Karynn: Poor girl. I know how it is to lose a loved one. First Katherine and now Karl. Brock would have been my nephew.

Esther: All of Mrs. C’s kids are dead. First Tucker now Brock.

Nina: We need to get back, to be there for her. Oh, and since Brock has passed on, Mac is the new executor of Katherine’s will and it’s going to be read as soon as we get back. I guess Chancellor Inc is having management issues and there are instruction for C.I. in the will.

This excites Karynn and she stands up, as Garret walks over to her with a beer.

Karynn: This means it’s time to collect what’s owed to me.

Nina: Is that all you ever think about, other people’s money?

Karynn: No Nina I was actually thinking of getting you a gift certificate to weight watchers. They can even eat chips on that diet or so I heard Oprah say the many times I’ve seen that commercial. How’s that pudgy?

Nina: What a rotten bitch you are! If you are not in my car in the next ten minutes you’ll be left here. Nina turns around and storms off with Chance following her.

Karynn looks at Garrett and grabs her beer.

Esther: Miss Shepard, you’re not going to open that right here and, now are you?

Karynn pulls up on the tab and opens the can. She takes a swig.

Karynn: This mourning has turned into a celebration Esther. I’m about to finally get what is owed to me from my sister’s estate.

 Karynn swings the can of beer around and some spills onto the floor.

Karynn looks at Garret.

Karynn: Thank you for everything Garrett. I must be moving on.

Garett: I want some of the estate too.

Karynn: In your dreams.

Karynn turns around grabs Esther and they leave the nursing home as Garrett stares at them.

Karynn walks right past her daughter Kitten without even saying good bye.

Kitten puts her paper work down and walks over to Garrett.

Kitten: Garret, what happened?

Garrett: Your mother is about to come into some big money.

Kitten: Ooo.. I like big money.

Garret: You also like big black-

Kitten: I’m at work Garrett. Everyone doesn’t need to know my sexual secrets.

Garrett: Sorry darling.

Kitten: I want some money too. I am so tired of wiping ass and crotches.

Garret: I could use some new clothes. Hell for that matter I can finally wash my clothes.

Kitten: My mother doesn’t like either one of us how will we get her to give us a slice of the pie?

Garrett: Good point… I was just gonna harass, beg, plead and if I have to cry until I get on her nerves so much she’ll be offering me money to leave town. I know how Kary is. Eventually she’ll cave.

Kitten: Hmm but what about me? We can’t stand each other.

Garrett: Yea after what we did to her. We had an affair and she walked in on us doing the good nasty.

Kitten: I got it. Karynn left so she hasn’t had time to grab uncle Karl’s ashes. Leave that to me to make that a great ice breaker for when I arrive in Genoa City.

Kitten takes her name tag off and throws it on the floor. She pushes up her bosom’s and begins to leave her job for the last time.

Kitten: Let’s go Gary, it’s time to collect some money. I can’t do this whole drive by myself.

A nurse has been watching Kitten.

Nurse: You can’t just walk out on your shift like this?

Kitten: Watch me…

Back in GC, Hospital

Daisy looks in Avery’s room and sees Phyllis.

“I’ll stick to it Phyllis one more time.”

She thinks to herself.

 She enters.

Phyllis looks up and is pissed Daisy is there.

Phyllis: This is another time where I need you to use your other senses Avery.

Avery: I’m sorry Phyllis I don’t know what that means.

Phyllis: The devil is here.

Daisy: Oh just stop being so over the top Phyllis. Your too told to be acting this way you’re a grandmother, act like one.

Avery: Daisy, It’s good to hear your voice. How has everything been for you?

Daisy: It would be a lot better if your bitter sister would get out the way.

Phyllis: How many times do I have to say to you, you will never be with my son or his daughter?

Daisy: Lucy is my daughter too!

Avery: Enough, I’ve had enough drama for one day. I want my last moments here in Genoa City to be peaceful. Besides I’m getting a headache. Lily sure did a number on me.

Phyllis: Yea well that’s all the Winters women know how to do is attack.

Daisy: Like Dru attacked you Phyllis. I saw the fight between you two at the hospital the night Dru came back from the dead and returned to Genoa City. Your film crew taped the whole thing as Dru beat you down. I bet you were embarrassed the whole city saw Dru handing you your ass at the hospital that night. You came to film the Verdon Lou story then you ended up being the story.

Phyllis: I’d like to take this chair and beat you with it.

Daisy: That’s what you should have done to Dru, but anyway Avery thank you for all you done for me. Getting me out of jail and all.

Phyllis: A tragic mistake.

Daisy: You take care of yourself.

Avery: You too Daisy thank you.

Daisy looks at Phyllis and waves good bye. Phyllis gives her a contemptuous look and then raises her middle finger at Daisy. Daisy chuckles and leaves.

Phyllis: The only thing I wanted to do was to see you off.

Avery: Well thank you Phyllis.

Phyllis leans over and gives her a hug.

The transporter arrives, ready to take Avery to Dallas, Texas so she can attend drug rehab and the school for the blind.

Avery is assisted in the wheel chair and the transporter pushes Avery out the room.

Phyllis: So long Avery.

Phyllis walks out the now empty room. She looks to her right and left and on her left, she can see Lauren is visibly upset in an intense conversation with Scotty.

“ Daniel was watching them too.” Phyllis wonders if she should walk over there to find out what is going on."

Phyllis walks over to them and over hears Lauren saying

“ You will never have a child by a Carter!”

Scotty: Mom how can you stop this?

Lauren: Just watch me. Sheila will not win! Not through her children or mine. She tried once before to take you away from me it didn’t work then and it’s not going to work now!

Phyllis: Scotty got a Carter pregnant?

Lauren turns around and sees Phyllis. Her mood changes from anger to apprehensiveness.

Lauren: Phyllis, I thought you were upset with me. You have some secret you wanted to tell me but won’t because I had a date with Nick.

Phyllis: Yes the father of my child… My best friend had a date with my ex-husband. I’m not supposed to be upset about something like that? Besides back to you, which Carter did Scotty get pregnant? That Vandalynn girl is Mary Carter isn’t she?

Scotty:  Yes but we didn’t know. I didn’t even know.

Phyllis: I feel for you. Daniel has a very hard time dealing with her sister Daisy. In fact, Daisy is becoming more and more like her mother by each passing day. I wonder if Daisy was in on this fake Vandalynn person scam.

Lauren: I’m not going to have nor my son for that matter will have the same issues you and Daniel have because I am not going to let this happen!

Scotty opens Mary’s door but sees the room is empty having been remade for a new patient.

Scotty: She’s not here.

Lauren: Ok so the only question now, Where is Mary Carter?
