Chapter 245

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
A nurse walked through the hospital and into a room. She pulled off her cap and mouth mask to reveal that she is Jade.
JADE: I am never doing this again.
Jan was sitting on a chair in the room. Like Jade, she was also wearing scrubs. She was holding baby Emmy.
JAN: Oh, come on, it wasn't that bad. Besides, if you want to be like me, you have to be willing to take risks.
JADE: Oh, I am. I'm just not willing to walk around wearing scrubs.
JAN: Hey, as impersonations go, nurses are easy. You just have to make sure you don't talk to anybody, keep the mask on, and if you absolutely have to talk, pretend you only know sign language.
JADE: You've done this before, haven't you?
JAN: So many times. Now, did you get the folder I asked you to?
Jade handed Jan the envelope, and took her baby back into her arms.
JADE: Here.
JAN: Excellent.
JADE: Why do you even need this information? And what does this have to do with training me?
JAN: Patience, my dear. You'll soon see. As for why I need this, well, it's always a good idea to have lots of extra information on people. You never know what you're going to be able to use against people some day.
Emmy started crying. Jade sighed.
JADE: Ssh. It's okay, baby. It's okay. Oh, you're hungry, aren't you?
She looked at Jan.
JADE: It's her feeding time.
JAN: Hey, do what you've gotta do. I'll be outside.
Jan picked up a mask and cap, put them on, and walked out.

DIMERA MANSION
E.J. walked upstairs to the master bedroom, the one that used to be Stefano's. It seemed that nobody had done much to change it, as it looked to E.J. exactly as if Stefano had still been there.
E.J. (thinking): Oh, father. How I wish I could have been with you in your last days. However, as you know, life does not always give us what we want. Never fear, though. I shall carry on your legacy.
In the basement, specifically Rolf's lab, John, Steve and Roman were all sitting on the floor inside of a cage. John was the first to come to. Roman and Steve woke up shortly after him.
STEVE (whispering): Check it out, dudes. We actually got in!
JOHN (whispering): It was a crazy plan, but it actually worked.
ROMAN (whispering): Yeah, now we just need to get out of here and find out exactly what André and Rolf are up to.
STEVE (whispering): Well, I can get us out of here.
Steve rummaged in his pockets, and pulled out a small key. He walked over to the door of the cage, put his hand through the bar, slid the key into the lock and twisted it. The door swung open.
STEVE: Ya know, it's real handy having one of these around. Good thinking on getting all of the keys copied.
JOHN (whispering): Quiet. We don't want to get caught.
ANDRE: No, I daresay you don't.
André walked out from the shadows.
ANDRE: Oh, boys, boys, boys. Do you really think I'm that stupid?

[heroicmuse]

Ooh this is gonna be good. I loved Steve's plan. But what is Andre going to do???

I wonder what EJ thinks is carrying on Stefano's legacy.

And what is Jan up to???

Great chapter André DiMera.

[mae00]

Hahaha! Well, at least the guys weren't stupid enough to unknowingly knocked out and had a plan the whole time. I'm curious to see how far they planned and what Andre's gonna do.

I wonder whose file Jade nabbed for Jan.

EJ carrying on Stefano's legacy.......is it a legacy that Andre brainwashed him with?

[fluffysmom]

Welcome back André DiMera.

I wonder what EJ is planning.

What will Andre do next?

I'm very surprised if Jade is actually breastfeeding. That's not common for teen mom's.

[Kpatch]

Wow, what a plan the men had. That is risky as heck!

Curious as to what info Jan needed to steal.

Poignant scene in Stefano's room.

Chapter 246

DIMERA MANSION
JOHN: Of course not. We knew that you were likely to be back in town. Or, in fact, that you'd never left, at all.
ANDRE: That seems to be the general concensus.
André's face suddenly grew lighter. It wasn't tense like it normally was.
ANDRE: Just be glad that it's me and not the real André.
STEVE: I'm not buying it, dude. This is exactly what André would try to do. Make us comfortable by pretending to be Tony DiMera.
André (who is really Tony) walked over to Steve.
TONY: I am Tony DiMera.
ROMAN: Then, prove it. If you can prove, beyond doubt, that you are who you say you are, then we'll go along with it.
TONY: Of course.
Tony walked over to a wall that had what looked like a red button on it. He knelt in front of the button, and a computerized voice responded.
COMPUTER: Welcome, Tony.
John shook his head.
JOHN: Too easy. That's one of the first things that André would think of.
The real André walked out of the shadows.
ANDRE: Indeed it is. Well, let me see here: Roman Brady, John Black, Steve Johnson and my dear cousin, Tony. Is this a party? I assume my invitation must have gotten lost in the mail. Now, boys, it seems that the party is over. That was very clever of you all to allow yourselves to be captured. But, I wouldn't go patting yourselves on the back just yet. You're nowhere near out of the woods.
Unnoticed by any of them, Tony had quietly grabbed a sword from off the wall. He hit André on the back of the head with its hilt. André fell to the ground.
TONY: Run, quickly.
John, Steve, Roman and Tony quickly ran up the stairs. André got up, dusted himself off.
ANDRE: All right, Tony. We'll play it that way.
He grabbed another sword from the wall and ran up the stairs after them.

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Jan snuck into a different room, shut the door behind her, and took off the cap and mask. She then sat down at a computer, and began typing. She opened up the file to look up some information.
JAN: Well, this is interesting.
She looked at the file to make sure that she was typing in the right information. She was. After typing for a bit longer, she pressed the print button. She watched as the paper slowly came out of the nearby printer. Then, she picked up the paper and looked over it.
JAN: I was right. But how is this possible? However it happened, I need to figure this out, because if this is true...it's gonna change a lot of people's lives.
The top of the paper had Jade's name on it, followed by all of her vitals and medical information, as well as a little bit about Emmy. Down at the bottom of the paper were the words: “Jan Spears – Match – Positive”.

[heroicmuse]

Nice nod to history with the swordfight!

OMG so Jade may be Jan's daughter! Interesting!

Great chapter André DiMera. Will there be previews?

[Kpatch]

Sword fight!!!!

I'm not overly surprised Jan and Jade are related but I love the twist! They are so alike!

Can we have previews please?

[fluffysmom]

I liked Andre's entrance and the swords. I hope everyone survives.

Jan's discovery is a surprise.

[André DiMera]

So glad you're all enjoying this story! I'm so excited for what was revealed at the end of Friday! I've been teasing it since Jan came to the Last Blast reunion earlier this year!

---

Next Week...

Jade questions Jan's motives.
JADE: Why did you need my information?

Ciara confronts Noelle.
CIARA: Are you jealous?

And back in Salem, the confrontation ten years in the making!
ANDRE: Nice to see you haven't lost your touch.
TONY: I've had nothing but time.

All this and more next week on THE MELASWEN PARADOX!

[Kpatch]

The mother of all surprises! The rematch of the decade. What's not to love! Great teasers. Thanks André DiMera.

[heroicmuse]

OMG can't wait for all of this! I wonder what Jade will do with the information that she is possibly Jan's daughter.

Tony vs. Andre should be fun!

Great previews André DiMera.

Chapter 247

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
JAN: So, it's true. She's my daughter. But how?
There was a knock on the door. Jan cleared her throat.
JAN (with bad Spanish accent): Um...just a moment.
The door opened anyway, and Jade, holding baby Emmy, walked in.
JADE: Wow, that accent is terrible! I can see why you suggested sign language.
JAN: Would you close the door?
Jade rolled her eyes, but closed the door, anyway.
JADE: What are you doing in here, anyway? Why are we even here? And why did you need my file?
JAN: It's not important.
JADE: I think it is. You said something about blackmail, earlier. What exactly are you planning to blackmail me with? You don't know anything about me.
JAN: I know more than you know.
JADE: Have you been spying on me?
JAN: If I was spying on you, I'd hardly tell you, would I? Nor would I be likely to tell you what I was planning to blackmail you with, if I even was planning to. That would be incredibly stupid of me, wouldn't it? Now, let's go.
Jan attempted to walk out, but Jade blocked the door.
JADE: No. I'm not leaving until you tell me why you needed my file. I don't trust you.
JAN: Good, you shouldn't.
JADE: What are you saying?
JAN: You know who I am, don't you? When we first met, you told me that you idolized me, that you wanted to be exactly like me. If you idolized me that much, surely you would have known the price of wanting to be like me. Surely you knew what you were getting into. I mean, why else would you practically beg me to train you to be exactly like me?

DIMERA MANSION
As Anna walked down the hall, she heard the sounds of metal clashing against metal. John, Roman and Steve ran past her. She came to the doorway that led to Rolf's lab. The door opened and out stepped Tony and André, both swinging their swords at each other in a series of complex moves.
ANNA: What on earth...?
Anna followed the dueling cousins as they made their way into another room in the mansion. She looked around and saw that E.J., Chad, Rex and Cassie were all in the room.
ANDRE: Ah, lovely. We have an audience.
TONY: Yes, your favorite thing to have. You do love to hear yourself speak, don't you?
ANDRE: Not half as much as I love the idea of shutting you up.
André lunged at Tony, but was quickly blocked.
TONY: I don't think you'll be doing that anytime soon.
Tony subtely looked at Chad and nodded. Chad nodded in return. He came up behind André and put him in a headlock. However, as soon as Chad thought he had gotten him, he found a sword inches away from his own face.
ANDRE: Oh, dear Chad, you have been foolish. You should know by now never to jump a man with a sword in his hand.

[heroicmuse]

Uh oh. Chad appears to be in trouble.

Jade really bit off more than she could chew with Jan. Then again Jan may not be prepared for how Jade is. Lol

Great chapter André DiMera

[mae00]

Jan is so twisted. I have a feeling that she will put both her daughter AND grandchild in harms way.

I'm hoping that this is all a part of Tony's plan. Seems like this is such a simple underestimation of Andre's capabilities.
