Chapter 33

SALEM PLACE
PERCY: Well, I am sorry if I did something to upset you, my good man. I can assure you that it was most definitely unintentional.
WILL: It's not what you did to me, it's what you did to Nick.
PERCY: Nick?
WILL: Oh, don't act like you don't remember. Nick Fallon. The guy you helped out of the river after Gabi, my mother, and Grandma Kate threw him in the river.
PERCY: Ah, yes. The charming Mr. Fallon.
WILL: Charming's not the word I would use.
PERCY: Well, whatever adjective you choose, what does he have to do with all this?
WILL: I know that you did something to him.
PERCY: And what is it that you think I did?
WILL: I don't know, but you did something. He was a jerk before he came back, but he was pure evil after you "saved" him. You did something. You changed him.
PERCY: Hm. I see. And what proof have you of this?
Will thought for a moment.
WILL: Well...
PERCY: I thought not.
WILL: But...
PERCY: But nothing, William. There is nothing for us to discuss. You don't know much about me, I don't know much about you. We certainly don't know enough about each other to get ourselves in trouble, do we?
WILL: Well, no, but...
PERCY: Until you have concrete proof of what I did or did not do, you would take care to tread lightly, and not concern yourself with affairs that are not your own.
Percy smiled.
PERCY: Now, is there anything else I can do for you?
With nothing more to say, Will turned and walked off.
WILL: Why do I have the feeling I'm going to regret that later?

JAVA CAFE
Ceri and Sydney were sitting on the outside of the café. They had already seen the movie, and Ari had gone home.
SYDNEY: I'm sorry about that.
CERI: About what?
SYDNEY: Ari inviting herself along on our date.
CERI: Sweetie, it's okay. It's not your fault. You can't control what your niece does.
SYDNEY: I know. But, I wanted to spend time just with you.
CERI Well, you're just with me now.
The two smiled and kissed.
SYDNEY: I see what you mean, though.
CERI: What's that?
SYDNEY: About Ari flirting with you.
CERI: Oh, that.
SYDNEY: Yeah. It was pretty obvious. I may have to have a little talk with her about that.

WILL & SONNY'S HOUSE
Sonny was home, reading the paper. Will walked in. Sonny looked up.
SONNY: Hey.
WILL: Hey.
The two kissed.
SONNY: How'd it go with Mr. Greetings?
WILL: Not great. He knows that I know, but he's threatening to do worse if we don't stay out of his business.
SONNY: So, you think he did to Philip what he did to Nick all those years ago?
WILL: I don't know. But, if what you've said is true, then we better watch out for Philip.
SONNY: I gotcha.
WILL: But, onto a more happier topic.
SONNY: Please.
WILL: I know that Philip and Melanie tried this two years ago and, apart from the whole Johnny fiasco, it went well. So, I was thinking about throwing a summer beach party.
SONNY: When?
WILL: In two weeks. But, we don't need to worry about planning it in two weeks. I've had this idea for months now, and I've got everything worked out. Besides, you know what's in two weeks, right?
Sonny smiled.
SONNY; I certainly do. And this is gonna be the most awesome summer beach party ever.

[fluffysmom]

Hmmm....I wonder what secrets Percy is hiding.

I bet the beach party will be a memorable night.

But probably not in the manner that Will and Sonny want!!

[André DiMera]

Sorry for the lack of a chapter on Thursday and Friday. I was out of town over the weekend and forgot to post about it. Anyway, without further ado:

Chapter 34

MOUNTAINS - FLASHBACK
Gabi stood near the edge of a mountain. There is someone tied up on the ground. Whoever it is cannot be seen.
GABI: Oh, what's the matter, baby? You don't like it when you're helpless? When you don't have total control over the situation?
The person continued to struggle. We can see that, whoever they are, they are covered in some kind of liquid.
GABI: Well, tough. You put me in that position. Now, it's time for payback.
Gabi got out a match.
GABI: You remember that old song by Adele? Not the super popular one, but the one about setting fire to the rain? Have you ever wondered what it looks like? When you set it on fire? I have. Well, we're gonna find out together. After everything you've done for me, it's the least I can do.
The person continued to struggle.
GABI: Oh, don't be like that. You know exactly what you did. I have to do this. I just have to.
Gabi lit the match.
GABI: And now, to teach you a lesson, I'm gonna set fire to the rain.
Gabi's hand trembled slightly.
GABI: Too late to back out now.
Just then, a man's voice is heard.
MAN: No! Don't!
Gabi jumped in surprise and dropped the match.

WILL & SONNY'S HOUSE - ARI'S BEDROOM
Ari sat up. She looked around for a moment to get her bearings.
ARI: Again? Seriously? Why did it happen again?

KIRIAKIS MANSION
Philip sat in the main room of the mansion, sipping on a glass of wine. Brady walked in.
BRADY: Evening.
PHILIP: Little late for a stroll, isn't it?
BRADY: Hey, it's a free country.
PHILIP: Good point.
There was a knock on the door.
BRADY: I'll get it.
Brady opened the door. Jeannie Donovan was standing on the other side of it.
BRADY: Jeannie, what are you doing here?
JEANNIE: I'm here on police business. I need to see Philip Kiriakis.
BRADY: This way.
Brady led her to Philip. Philip stood up.
PHILIP: Hello?
JEANNIE: Philip Kiriakis...
PHILIP: Who wants to know?
JEANNIE; Let me finish. Philip Kiriakis, keep your hands where I can see them. Don't make any sudden movements.
PHILIP: Why? What's...
Jeannie got out a pair of handcuffs and slapped them on Philip.
JEANNIE: You're under arrest.

[gapeach]

Oh no!! Why on earth is Jeannie (thank goodness NOT Theresa) is arresting Phillip??? Wonder who Gabi is planning to set on fire?? Could it be Nick??

[fluffysmom]

Hmmm...wondering about Gabi. Also wondering why Philip is getting arrested.

[André DiMera]

Chapter 35

MOUNTAIN
The man who yelled for Gabi to stop was Percy. He ran over just as Gabi dropped the match, but being quite advanced in years by this point, could not run quickly. By the time he got there, Gabi was gone, as was the tied-up man.

TITAN.
Percy had been given his own desk at Titan when he became Philip's assistant. Though it was late at night, and everyone had gone home, Percy sat at the desk, reflecting on the events of nearly a year ago.
PERCY: I did the right thing. I know I did the right thing.

KIRIAKIS MANSION
PHILIP: Under arrest? You can't arrest me!
JEANNIE: Of course I can. I have a warrant.
Jeannie showed him the warrant.
PHILIP: On what grounds?
JEANNIE: Fraud.
PHILIP: But, I never had anything to do with him. I'm a businessman, not a psychiatrist.
JEANNIE: No, not Freud, fraud. As in lying to conceal something illegal.
PHILIP: But, I couldn't have...
JEANNIE: Tell it to the judge, mac.
PHILIP: But, I'm not Mac, I'm Philip.
JEANNIE: Well, whoever you are, you're gonna be put away for quite a while. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney, and to have an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney...
PHILIP: Oh, I can.
JEANNIE: That right to remain silent? You might wanna think about using it. Anyway, as I was saying: if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be given to you. If you choose not to wait for an attorney to begin questioning, you have the right to stop speaking at any time until such time as your attorney arrives. Do you understand these rights as I have read them to you?
PHILIP: Yes.
Jeannie walked Philip out of the mansion. Brady got out his cell phone and dialed a number.
BRADY: Hey, it's me.
Pause.
BRADY: Yeah, I know what time it is. This is important.
Pause.
BRADY: You may wanna come back to Salem. Philip's been arrested.

[gapeach]

Wonder who Brady is calling. Still can't wait to see what went down a year ago.

[fluffysmom]

The plot thickens....

[André DiMera]

Chapter 36

KIRIAKIS MANSION
It was now the next morning. Brady was sitting at the kitchen table, drinking coffee and eating an omelette. The doorbell rang. Brady wiped his mouth with a napkin and stood up. Just as he walked towards the door, Henderson walked in.
HENDERSON: You have guests, sir.
BRADY: Thank you, Henderson.
Shawn-D and Belle walked in.
BELLE: Hey!
BRADY: Hey!
Brady hugged Belle and gave Shawn-D a bro hug.
BRADY: You guys got here fast.
SHAWN-D: We took a red-eye. First flight we could get.
BRADY: Well, i'm glad you guys are here. Where's Claire?
SHAWN-D: Over at my parent's. She wanted to see them and Ciara.
BELLE: But, you'll definitely see her while we're here.
BRADY: Excellent. Take a seat. Would you like some breakfast?
SHAWN-D: Just coffee for me, thanks.
BELLE: We ate on the way from the airport.
Shawn-D, Belle and Brady sat down.
BELLE: So, Brady, what's going on?
BRADY: Like I said, Philip's been arrested.
BELLE: For what?
BRADY: According to the arresting officer, fraud.
SHAWN-D: Fraud? Why would Philip commit fraud?
BELLE: And how?
BRADY: I don't know. But, something doesn't feel right here, guys.
BELLE: How do you mean?
BRADY: I don't know. I just feel like there's more to this story than we know.

WILL & SONNY'S HOUSE - DINING ROOM
Will, Sonny and Ari were sitting down having breakfast.
WILL: How did you sleep?
ARI: Okay, I guess.
Ari was looking down at her food.
SONNY: You okay?
Ari nodded.
ARI: Yeah. I just...I had the dream again.
WILL: Same as the last several nights?
ARI: Mostly. Except, this time, there was a man in it. A really old man.
SONNY: Did you recognize this man?
ARI: Sort of, but not really. I think he was at mama's funeral.
WILL: What does he look like?
ARI: He's got white hair, walks with a cane, and talks with an English accent. And there's a word I get whenever I see him.
SONNY: What word?
ARI: "Greetings".
There was a knock at the door.
WILL: I'll get it.
Will went into the living room and opened the door, behind which was Percy.
PERCY: Greetings!

SALEM COUNTY JAIL
Philip sat in a jail cell, laughing. Jeannie walked by.
JEANNIE: Something funny, Kiriakis?
PHILIP: Well, I just realized that, with your track record, it's surprising that you were even considered for a job as a cop. And you can hardly point the finger at me with everything you've done.
JEANNIE: What are you talking about?
PHILIP: Oh, I know all about you, Theresa Donovan. And if this goes to trial, I intend to expose all your dirty little secrets to everybody. And you'll never be able to be a cop again. In fact, you'll hardly be able to get a job at all. And of course, I can make sure that you don't. Because I have that power. In this world, the man with the most knowledge and power is king. And honey, you should see me in a crown.

[fluffysmom]

Very curious as to what will happen with Percy's visit. Also wondering what is going on with Philip.

[gapeach]

Glad that Brady thinks something doesn't quite make sense with the whole arrest. Well it appears that Jeannie/Theresa has straightened out but Phillip is more than happy to remind everyone what she has done in the past!!

[André DiMera]

Chapter 37

KIRIAKIA MANSION
BELLE: What else do you think there to this story that we should know?
BRADY: I haven't worked that part out yet. But, I'm telling you, guys, this is strange.
SHAWN-D: In what way?
BRADY: Ever since Philip got back, he's been very distant, very cold. At first, I thought it was the memory loss, but there's more to it than that. He's become more like Grandfather, or even worse. Grandfather was always ruthless, but Philip is being downright cruel. It's almost like...
BELLE: Like what?
BRADY: Like he's not Philip at all. Like he's an entirely different person.

SALEM COUNTY JAIL
JEANNIE: So, that's all you've heard about me?
PHILIP: That, and you're Shane and Kim's daughter.
JEANNIE: Right. Well, if that's all you've heard about me, you have some very outdated news sources.
PHILIP: Do i?
JEANNIE: Yep. But, I'd be happy to fill you in.
PHILIP: Please do.
JEANNIE: You see, the Salem P.D. had no problem assigning me to the force. Nor did the ISA have any problem accepting me as an agent. And why is that, you may be wondering. Because, I don't have a record. Theresa does.
PHILIP: But, you are Theresa. You're Jeannie Theresa Donovan.
JEANNIE: That is my name, yes. But, I am not Theresa. I am not, nor was I ever, a drug addict or dealer.
Philip's smile sunk.
PHILIP: How is that possible?
JEANNIE: Stefano DiMera.
PHILIP: Seriously? That's the best you can come up with?
JEANNIE: It's true. But, I'm not surprised you don't believe me. You see, many years ago, Stefano cloned me and sent my clone to Salem. Once there, she took my middle name, Theresa. She then tried to ruin not only my life, but the lives of J.J. Deveraux, Brady Black, my parents, and everyone else in Salem. Why? Because those were Stefano's orders. He picked the perfect time to send her, as well, because I was at ISA training and wasn't allowed contact with family. So, she could easily slip into my life.
PHILIP: But, how did you get back?
JEANNIE: Well, after a few years, my training was over, and I flew out to New York to see my parents. They knew that I was in the ISA, and were just going along with the whole Theresa thing so Stefano wouldn't kill them. So, once I got back, we went off to Salem together to confront Theresa. Once we got back, she was...disposed of.
PHILIP: I see.
Though Philip was suspicious, he knew from the way Jeannie had said all of this that it must be the truth.
PHILIP: And because you're not Theresa, even though you look exactly alike, you couldn't be tried for her crimes.
JEANNIE: Yep, that's right.
Philip shook his head and started laughing.
JEANNIE: Is there something funny? Did I miss a funny thing?
PHILIP: My arrest will never hold up, you have to let me go.
JEANNIE: And why would I do that?
PHILIP: Because, I'm not Philip Kiriakis. Do a blood test, and you'll see.

[André DiMera]

Chapter 38

SALEM P.D.
A few hours later, Jeannie was waiting on the tests. Bo handed them to her.
BO: You're not gonna like it.
JEANNIE: Why? How bad can it be?
BO: Imagine how bad it could be.
JEANNIE: Yeah?
BO: It's worse.
JEANNIE: Oh dear.
Jeannie opened the envelope, took out a paper and read it.
JEANNIE: Oh, no.
BO: Yep.
JEANNIE: You cannot be serious!
BO: Wish I wasn't.
JEANNIE: This is even worse than I'd thought.
BO: See what I mean?
Jeannie got out her phone and dialed a number.
JEANNIE: Hey, it's Jeannie.
Pause.
JEANNIE: No, um, I'm gonna need you two to come down to the station.
Pause.
JEANNIE: Yes, it is serious. Actually, instead of the station, meet me outside the jail.

BRADY PUB
Brady, Belle and Shawn-D were sitting down eating lunch.
BRADY: You guys should go see Philip sometime today.
BELLE: We will. We're still just trying to process this.
Chelsea, who now co-owned the Brady Pub with Max, walked by and put some plates on the table.
CHELSEA: Why? What's going on?
SHAWN-D: Well, before we answer that, come here, you!
Shawn-D and Chelsea hugged, as did Belle and Chelsea.
CHELSEA: Hey!
BELLE: Hey!
SHAWN-D: It's good to see you!
CHELSEA: Good to see you, too. When did you guys get in?
BELLE: This morning. We took a red-eye.
CHELSEA: I'm glad you guys are here. But, I heard you guys talking about Philip in rather concerned voices. What's going on? Is everything okay?
SHAWN-D: Um, no. No, it's not. Philip's been arrested.

SALEM COUNTY JAIL
Jeannie, Sonny and Will stood outside of the jail.
WILL: You're not serious.
JEANNIE: I wish I wasn't, but the D.N.A. test confirms it.
SONNY: How did this happen?
JEANNIE: I've no idea. Honestly, none.
WILL: Should we...go see him?
JEANNIE: Sure. Follow me.
Jeannie lead the two to Philip's jail cell.
JEANNIE: You've got company.
Philip looked up.
PHILIP: Ah, Will, long time no see.
WILL: This is impossible. He looks exactly like Philip.
JEANNIE: But, he's not.
PHILIP: Oh, so you figured it out?
JEANNIE: The only thing I've figured out is what the D.N.A. test shows.
PHILIP: And?
JEANNIE: It shows that you're not actually Philip Kiriakis, but that you are one Nicholas Fallon,
Philip (who is really Nick) smiled and laughed.
NICK: That's right.

[gapeach]

Oh my! Should have known that with Percy being involved!!
