Over in Port Charles, NY.

At the Quartmaine house.

In the livingroom.

(Michael's sitting in there thinking as Mark walks into the room and over to him.)

Mark: Hey you are right?

(Michael turns and looks at him.)

Michael: Drew was just here.

(Mark looks off annoyed.)

Mark: What he want?
Michael: What does Drew always want?
Mark: For Willow to see the kids.
Michael: Yeah.
Mark: I'm sorry Mike.
Michael: I know that.
Mark: Is he black mailing you?

(Michael laughs at him.)

Michael: No. No. He's not. I mean he is but he isn't.
Mark: What's he?

(Mark looks at him and it hits him on what Drew is blackmailing him with.)

Mark: The night we slept together.

(Michael nods his head at him.)

Michael: He told me if I don't agree to allow Willow to see the kids. He'll tell the judge that not only did I cheat on Willow. But that I did it with you.

(Mark looks at him and then looks off annoyed.)

Mark: Shit.
Michael: I don't want this to get out.
Mark: Even if it does. It's nothing compared to what Drew put his and Willow's relationship through.
Michael: I know. A Hooker really?
Mark: No one said he was to bright.

(They start laughing then calm down.)

Michael: You know for as long as I can remember.
Mark: What?
Michael: You've always been there for me my brothers and sisters. My parents.
Mark: Well other than Kate and Reagan. You guys have always been there for me and mine. And I can't thank you guys enough.
Michael: I know that.

(Mark smiles at him as he looks around.)

Mark: I'm gonna go. I told Reagan I would meet up with her for Lunch and listen to her bitch about Kate and Sophie for the millionth time.

(They start laughing at the joke.)

Michael: Yeah.
Mark: Okay. I'll see ya.

(Mark goes to walk off but Michael stops him.)

Michael: What if you didn't.

(Mark turns and looks at him.)

Mark: What if I didn't what?
Michael: Leave. What if you stayed here.

(Mark looks at him and smiles.)

Mark: And do what? Watch TV. Play with Wiley and Amelia what?
Michael: No.

(He walks over to him as he gets to him. He kisses him as their kissing Mark smiles in it. Then he pulls away from him.)

Mark: I can stay.
Michael: Good.

(He grabs his hand and they both walk off towards the stairs.)

Over at the Metro Court.

In the restaurant.

(Louisa is there with Kelly and Reagan talking and joking around.)

Reagan: Shut up.
Louisa: What I was thought to be dead for close to twenty years. I gotta give her hell.
Kelly: Yeah. Because that's what I want.

(They start laughing then calm down. As Reagan sees Kate walk into the restaurant with Sophie right behind her and gets upset.)

Louisa: You okay?
Reagan: Kate and Sophie just walked in.

(They both turn and look. Then they look back at her. Then turn and look at Reagan again.)

Kelly: She still rubbing it in your face?
Reagan: Everytime the bitch seems fit. I was Kate's first love. But Sophie seems to keep thinking she is.

(They both look at her and feel bad for her.)

Kelly: Have you said anything to Kate about this?
Reagan: She'd just defend her actions.
Louisa: Huh.
Kelly: What?
Louisa: That remind you of someone.

(They both look at her and laugh as they see them walking over to them. But continue on with their conversation. Over the next several days Reagan continues to have to deal with Sophie throwing in her face that her and Kate are together and there's nothing she can do about it. Reagan being who she is takes the high road and walks off only to have Sophie one day say something that sends Reagan after her and tackles her sending her to the ground and starts beating on her face. Which catches everyone's attention including Willow and her kids.)

Willow: Oh no. Mom get them out of here.
Nina: Okay. Come on you guys.

(They both leave with her as Mark and Michael rush into the restaurant to see Willow trying to break them apart only to have Reagan spin around and punches her sending her over.)

Michael: Willow!

(He rushes over to his ex wife and helps her up and she leans against the counter. As Mark and Curtis both rush forward and break them up once their broken up Sophie says something again and Reagan goes to go after her but Mark shoves her back.)

Mark:  ENOUGH.

(They both look at him.)

Mark: I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU TWO. ALWAYS FIGHTING IF IT ISN'T HERE IN PORT CHARLES. IT'S IN FUCKEN GOTHAM. I'M GETTINF TIRED OF HAVING TO CLEAN UP AFTER YOU TWO. EITHER FIGURE OUT WHAT IS YOU WANT REAGAN DO IT SOON. AND YOU TWO NEED TO GROW THE HELL UP.

(They both look at him and can tell he's feed up with them.)

Reagan: Mark!
Mark: Don't. I'm sick and tired of you and Sophie beating the hell out of each other. Either tell Kate how you still feel about her. or stay the hell away from her.
Sophie: Not like you have room to talk.

(Mark looks at her and then to Michael whose tending to his ex wife.)

Mark: Even if me and Michael did have one.

(Sophie stands up and looks at him.)

Sophie: What?
Mark: At least I wouldn't be heartless enough to continue to throw it in her face.

(Sophie looks at him and then looks over at Kate who had just walked into the restaurant.)

Kate: Reagan!

(She turns and looks at her.)

Reagan: Yeah.
Kate: You okay?

(Reagan nods her head at her.)

Mark: Talk to her.

(Reagan nods her head at him as they both walk off to go and talk as Sophie stands there annoyed. Then Mark rushes over to his friends side and looks her over.)

Mark: You okay?
Willow: Yeah. So are you two?

(Michael looks at Mark who smiles at him.)

Mark: Only if it's okay.

(Willow looks at him and smiles.)

Willow: He make you happy?

(Michael laughs at her.)

Michael: Yes he does.
Willow: As long as he makes you happy. That's all I can I ask.
Mark: Okay. We'll talk later.
Michael: Okay. Let's get her to the hospital.
Mark: Okay come on.

(They help her up as Sasha comes into the restaurant and helps her out as Mark looks at Michael.)

Mark: Really think she's okay with this?
Michael: More and likely yes.
Mark: Okay. Come by my room tonight and we can talk.
Michael: Okay. I'm gonna.
Mark: Okay.

(Michael kisses him then pulls away.)

Michael: Just because I can.

(Mark laughs at him as he walks off.)

Outside of the hotel.

(Both Kate and Reagan are out there talking.)

Reagan: I know I should of brought this too you sooner. I just didn't think.
Kate: You kept quiet because of Sophie.
Reagan: Yeah.
Kate: Reagan!
Reagan: I know me and you have been broken up for over ten years. I just didn't think seeing you with Sophie would hurt so damn badly.
Kate: But it does?
Reagan: More than it should.
Kate: Honestly Reagan. I'm caught between you and Sophie and I have no idea what to do.
Reagan: I'm not gonna make you choose between me and Sophie.
Kate: I need time.
Reagan: Okay. If Time is what you need. I'll give it to you.
Kate: Thank you.
Reagan: You're welcome.

(Then she gets up and walks off as she walks off Mark walks over to her and sits down next to her.)

Mark: You okay?

(Kate looks at him and then looks off.)

Kate: Mark how the hell can I be so blind.

(Mark laughs at her.)

Mark: We don't always see what's right in front of our faces.
Kate: I know that. Mark i didn't see how Sophie was treating Reagan.
Mark: I know.
Kate: God. Am I that into Sophie I couldn't fucken see it.
Mark: No I don't think it's that. She wasn't showing that side of herself to you. Just to Reagan.
Kate: I hate this.
Mark: I know you do.
Kate: I really need to think things through.
Mark: I would.
Kate: Okay. I'll see ya.
Mark: Okay.

(She gets up and walks off to go and think about who it is she wants and knowing she's still with Sophie is going to make a lot harder to decide on who she wants to be.)

Willow: She gonna be okay?
Mark: I sure as hell hope so. Are you?
Willow: I'm getting there. Drew isn't helping any by always being around.
Mark: The best thing you can do is do what Lucas told you to do.
Willow: Ignore him.
Mark: And if he keeps at it. Walk away or just kiss Louisa in front of him.

(Willow starts laughing at her face.)

Louisa: Why me?
Mark: Because you're so cute when you blush.
Louisa: That's nice.
Mark: Or as Kennedy once said.
Louisa: Shut up.
Mark: You're sexy when you pout.

(Louisa looks at him and then looks off trying to keep from blushing.)

Louisa: I hate you.
Mark: I know.

(He walks off laughing as he leaves Willow with her and she turns to look at her.)

Louisa: You okay?
Willow: Yeah. I'm just glad you two have been able to remain friends.
Louisa: We've always been friends.
Willow: Oh.
Louisa: We just don't let people like Drew Caine break up our friendship.
Willow: Even though he tries.
Louisa: Even though he tries.
Willow: I honestly think people like you alot more then him.
Louisa: I try to make them hate me as much as I can. Just ask my sister in law.

(She laughs at her.)

Willow: I don't want to get you involved into anything Drew Caine but.
Louisa: Drew doesn't scare me.
Willow: But he scares me. I know if I try and move on with my life he won't give up until he gets what he wants.
Louisa: And what about what the person who wants to be with you? You really think their gonna let that nutcase scare them away?
Willow: You know Drew as well as everyone else here.
Louisa: Sadly I do. But then again. So does your ex husband.
Willow: I just want him to do anything to hurt you. Louisa your family just got you back.

(Louisa looks at her and nods her head at her.)

Willow: So it's best we don't try.

(Then she walks off as Louisa stands there annoyed with Drew for the hell he's still putting her through. As she's standing there someone walks up to her and she looks at them.)

Louisa: I really wish someone would teach that fucker a lesson.

(They look at her as she walks off. As she walks off they look at each other as one of them pulls their phone out and calls their boss who answers right away.)

Man: Yeah boss we've got a wish.

(She smiles on the other end.)

Woman: Take care of it.
Man: Yes ma'am.

(Then he hangs up with her as they walk off towards where Drew lives.

(Then he hangs up with her as they walk off towards where Drew lives.)

An hour later.

At Drew's house.

In the livingroom.

(Drew's in there fighting off his attackers while their attacking him he's trying to get a weapon but their boss steps onto his hand getting him to look up at her then one of them goes for his juggler and rips it out.)

Over at the Quartmaine house.

(Mark's sitting down in the Livingroom talking and joking around with Brooklyn as Michael walks in and over to them.)

Mark: Hey.
Michael: Hey.
Mark: You okay?
Michael: Yeah.
Brooklyn: How's Willow?
Michael: She's okay. Lucas says she's got a small bump on her head.
Mark: That's good. Sophie hit her offaly hard.
Michael: Yeah. I know.
Brooklyn: You know Mark.
Mark: What?
Brooklyn: I think your ex fiancé has grown a bit of a crush on Willow.
Mark: I know and that's fine.
Brooklyn: You don't mind?
Mark: I don't. I think everyone here including his parents and Chase would prefer the person Willow wanting to be with is Louisa and not Drew.

(They start laughing then calm down.)

Brooklyn: Well at least you're more than willing to let Louisa move on.
Mark: She deserves to be happy again. I know I am.

(Michael looks at him and smiles.)

Mark: Actually will you come with me?
Michael: Yeah.

(They both get up and walk off as Brooklyn laughs at them.)

Brooklyn: You two better not wake Monica up.

(They start laughing as they walk off towards his room.)

Brooklyn: New relationships i swear.

Over at the Port Charles grill.

(Kate and Reagan are sitting down at a table talking and joking around. While their talking the two guys that Louisa talked to earlier walk into the restaurant with their boss right behind them.)

Kate: Do you ever make wishes?
Reagan: Depends on the wish.
Kate: Okay.
Reagan: Other than that. No i don't make them.
Kate: Never?
Reagan: Never.
Kate: Not even birthday wishes?

(Reagan laughs at her.)

Reagan: Oh no. I make them on my birthday's.
Kate: Name one.
Reagan: I once asked for a million dollars and look at me related to two nutcase. And two vigilantes. So there's that.

(They start laughing then calm down. Then Kate looks over at the three people who had just walked in and watches them as they walk over to their table and sit down. Reagan looks at her and sees where her eyes go.)

Reagan: You okay?
Kate: I remember seeing them outside of the Metro Court after yours and Sophie's fight.

(Reagan looks at them and then back at Kate.)

Reagan: It's a hotel Kate. People come and go all the time.
Kate: I know that. But they were talking with Louisa and their outfits are different from the last time I saw them.

(Reagan looks at them. But then back at Kate whose still thinking about things then drops it. Then she goes back to her conversation with Reagan. But what Kate and Reagan don't know is that those two men did just kill someone.)

An hour later.

Over at the Quatermain's house.

Up in Michael's room.

(Both him and Mark are getting dressed after having sex again while their getting dressed Mark's phone goes off and he grabs it up to see who it is seeing the number he answers it.)

Mark: Buchanan!
Dante: Hey.
Mark: Hey what's up?
Dante: Any chance you can come by Drew's house?
Mark: Why the hell would I Wanna go that losers house?
Dante: Because he's dead. And by the looks of it you'll know more about this then we would.
Mark: Okay. I'm on the way.
Dante: Okay.

(They hang up and Mark looks at Michael.)

Michael: You okay?
Mark: Drew's dead.

(Michael looks at him and then looks off trying to figure out if he should be thrilled or upset that Drew's dead.)

Michael: Oh Gees.
Mark: Yeah. So Dante wants me to go and take a look at him.
Michael: Okay.
Mark: Are right. Looks like yours and Willow's nightmare is over.
Michael: Yeah.

(Mark walks over to him after grabbing his shirt and puts it on.)

Mark: Hey.
Michael: Mark he was an asshole towards the end. But he was still my uncle. And Scouts father. Now she has no one.
Mark: She might be an orphan now. But she does still have people who still love her around. With Drew dead. Those restraining orders are now useless.

(Michael looks at him and laughs.)

Michael: True.
Mark: We're gonna figure this out.
Michael: I know that.
Mark: Okay. I'll call you later.
Michael: Okay.

(Mark kisses him then pulls away from him. Then he walks off as Michael calls him again.)

Mark: Yeah.
Michael: I like you alot.

(Mark smiles at him as he walks over to him.)

Mark: I like you too. I really do. But this really isn't.
Michael: I know that. I just wanted you to know.
Mark: Okay.
Michael: Okay.

(Mark smiles at him.)

Mark: You want this to be more than sex don't you?
Michael: I do.
Mark: Okay.
Michael: Will you be my boyfriend?

(Mark laughs at him as he walks over to him and pulls him into him.)

Mark: I'd love too.

(Michael kisses him getting Mark to smile in it then he pulls away from him as Mark walks off to go and talk to Dante and the others.)

Michael: Okay.

(He smiles to himself.)

Minutes later.

Over at Drew's house.

(Mark shows the officer his FBI badge and they let him into the house and he looks around it with a disgusted look on his face.)

Mark: Oh god.

(Dante and Anna look up at him.)

Dante: Hey.
Mark: Hey.

(Mark grabs out gloves and walks into the house more.)

Mark: What the hell happened in here?
Dante: Drew was killed.
Mark: Where is he?
Anna: Over here.

(Mark walks over to her and looks down at the now torn up body of Drew Caine and looks at them.)

Mark: What the hell?
Dante: We don't know. We were hoping you could help us out with this?
Mark: Well I can tell you no human person did this.
Anna: We figured that. What was it?

(Mark digs into Drew's wound and pulls out a tooth.)

Dante: That's a tooth.
Mark: It is. But it's not human. It's more dog like.
Anna: Wild dogs did this?

(Mark looks at them and then stands up as he flashesback back to the attacks in Elkhorn. And then flashesback.)

Mark: No.
Anna: What was it?
Mark: This is fang.
Dante: From what?
Mark: A werewolf.

(They both look at him and then to the fang in Mark's hand.)

Anna: A werewolf?
Mark: Yeah. And give the damage done to him I'd say it was more than one.

(Mark looks at Drew's throat and looks around it as he kneels down next to him and looks up at them.)

Dante: What's wrong?
Mark: He was alive while they were eating him.
Anna: How's that?
Mark: The kill spot is right here.

(He points at his throat.)

Mark: They ripped out his juggler.

(They look off as Mark stands up and pulls his phone out to call someone.)

Outside of the house.

(Mark's on the phone with someone.)

Mark: We've got a problem here in Port Charles.
Man: What's the problem?

(Mark looks at the fang in his hand.)

Mark: A werewolf problem.
