JOHN: So, what happened after you got chained up?
TONY: Well, I just hung there for a while.

That piece of dialogue brought tears to my eyes I was laughing so hard!

Thanks for another great chapter!!

Next Week on "The Irresistible Rise of André DiMera...

JOHN: How do you feel about taking a trip to the DiMera Mansion?

ROLF: André, Stefano is dead!

JOHN (whispering): Doc?

POLICE OFFICER: You're under arrest for the murder of Antony DiMera...

MARLENA: You shouldn't have done that...

OMG!

BRADY PUB
TONY: Well, how did you do it? How did you know that Hattie wasn't Marlena.
JOHN; It's just one of those things that all true lovers have. They can tell when their partner isn't really their partner. Like how Anna can tell when André is impersonating you.
TONY: Yes, that makes sense.
JOHN: It all started a month or two ago. I woke up one morning and Marlena was gone. No note, nothing. She was just gone. I didn't think anything of it, at first, but after a few days, I started to get worried. She wasn't answering her cell phone or returning any of my calls. Then, two weeks after she had disappeared, she came back.. When I asked her where she had been, she said she'd gone to Colorado to see Eric. But, I didn't really believe her.
TONY: Why not? Why would Marlena lie to you?
JOHN: Well, by this time, it was Hattie, who must have switched with Marlena. And, I got the hint that she was lying by the way she acted. She never looked me in the eye. Never wanted to be anywhere near me. When she looked at me, it was like she barely even knew me. I knew something wasn't right. So, I called up Eric...

SWITZERLAND PENTHOUSE - FLASHBACK
JOHN: Eric? It's John.
ERIC (VO): Hey, John. What's up?
JOHN: Not much. Has Marlena been out to see you anytime in the last few weeks?
ERIC (VO): No. I haven't seen her since she came to help me out after the car accident. Why?
JOHN: Just wondering. She's been acting a little strange lately.
ERIC (VO): What do you mean?
JOHN: Well, she's just not acting like herself. She disappeared a few weeks ago and just recently came back just as mysteriously as she had disappeared. She said she had been visiting you. But, now we know that didn't happen.
ERIC (VO): John, what's going on? What's wrong with my mother?
JOHN: I'm not sure yet. But, I'll keep you posted...

BRADY PUB
JOHN: Then, shortly after that, Marlena wanted to go to Salem. She didn't say why, she just said that it was important that we come back to Salem. So, I went with her. She said that she had some business to take care of.
TONY: No doubt it had something to do with Stefano.
JOHN: That's a fact. She was on Stefano's payroll for quite a while. So, while she was taking care of business, I decided to check and see if Marlena was really Marlena. I had a lock of her hair, which I had take off of her hairbrush. Had Roman run some tests on it. And, it came back showing that Marlena was really Hattie. I used a D.N.A. tracker from my days with the ISA to find her. Came to the shack, and...well, you know the story from there.
TONY: Yes indeed. And the plot thickens. So, what now?
JOHN: Well, obviously, to get the tests done right, I not only had to bring along a lock of Hattie's hair, but the real Marlena's hair as well. I've still got that lock of hair with me. We can put it into the tracker and find out where Marlena is.
TONY: Well, let's do it, then.
John put the lock of Marlena's hair into the tracker. The tracker beeped.
JOHN: Yep, just where I expected.
TONY: What, where is she?
JOHN: How would you feel about taking a trip to the DiMera Mansion?

DiMERA BASEMENT
Meanwhile, Andre was talking with Rolf. A body lay on the table with a sheet over it.
ROLF: Well, I have good news for you, Andre. The reconstructive surgery was sueccessful. Well....almost.
ANDRE: Almost? What do you mean almost?
ROLF: Well...I had a little bit of trouble recreating her face exactly, so there might be some noticeable differences.
ANDRE: Rolf, just show me what she looks like.
Rolf pulls the sheet off of the body to reveal the real Marlena. However, she looks pretty much the same as she used to, but her face is a little different. She now looks more like how Hattie used to look before her surgery. (Pic: jenautos.awardspace.com/soaps/days/ebb/deidreandreahall.jpg NOTE: This is a before & after picture. Diedre Hall is before, Andrea Hall is after. From this point forward, Andrea Hall plays Marlena.)

AUGH! I cannot view the photos

Thanks for another great chapter Andre! Can't wait for tomorrows installment!

[André DiMera]

I've fixed the link. It should work now.

[ghoulgirl]

Thank you!
I can see how they are identical twins but you can see that difference in their faces at the same time too!
Thanks for sharing Andre!

[Tom Horton]

Great Chapter! I still love the idea of that DNA tracker - the people of Salem need that!

Chapter 4

DiMERA BASEMENT
ANDRE: This won't do, Rolf. It simply won't do.
ROLF: And why not?
ANDRE: Because, you heard what Stefano said. He wanted you to restore Marlena to her former glory, not transform her into a bad imitation of her past self!
ROLF: André, Stefano is dead.
ANDRE: I know that Stefano is dead, Rolf! I killed him! And if I were able to find a better doctor, I would kill you in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with you. Now, do the job I'm paying you to do, and do it correctly.
André walked out of the basement. Bart and Rolf followed.

DiMERA MANSION
By the time Tony and John got to the front door of the DiMera Mansion, André, Bart, and Rolf were already back upstairs.
TONY: Right, we're here now, but how do we get in?
JOHN: We're gonna pick the lock.
John got on his knees and began picking the lock. The door opened.
JOHN: There we go...gotcha!
John got up and the two went inside.
TONY (whispering): Well, now what, John? We've got inside, now how do we find Marlena? You don't expect André to simply welcome you into the Mansion with open arms and take you right to Marlena, do you?
JOHN (whispering): Of course not. But, I do have a plan.
TONY (whispering): And what plan would that be?
JOHN (whispering): You distract André and whoever else is here, and I'll look for Marlena.
TONY (whispering): Well, I'll keep André distracted for as long as I can, but it won't be easy.
JOHN (whispering): Well, just do the best you can.
John went downstairs.
TONY: Right, well, this should be fun.
Tony walked inside. André, Bart, Rolf, and Ivan were busily standing over the still bound Lawrence. They didn't even notice Tony.
ANDRE: Well, what do you propose we do with him?
ROLF: We could send him down to my lab and I could run scientific experiments on him.
ANDRE: After the way your "experiments" on Stefano's Queen of the Night have gone, I don't think so.
BART: Could feed him to the dogs, if you like, sir.
ANDRE: No, too messy.
IVAN: He would make a very handsome throw-rug.
André sighed.
IVAN: No, no, just think about it, Mr. DiMera. I mean, you could step on him all day and all night. And whenever he gets dirty, you could take him out and beat him.
ANDRE: Oh, Ivan, we couldn't possibly do that...
TONY: And why-ever not, André?
André, Ivan, Bart, and Rolf turned to Tony.
TONY: It's not as though you're above causing pain, or even murdering people, let along your own flesh and blood.
ANDRE: Tony! Well, perhaps my methods of keeping you out of the way weren't as effective as I had at first thought.
TONY: A little word of advice, next time you leave a man halfway untied, search his body and make sure he doesn't have the key to your chains hidden somewhere on his person.
ANDRE: You are one smart little boy, Antony...but so am I!
There was a long, awkward silence.
BART: Wow, this is awkward.
ANDRE: Shut up, Bart. But i'm afraid you're far too late to stop my horrible plan this time, dear Tony. It's already been set in motion. I'm the king of the DiMera Empire and anything I say goes.
IVAN: But not for long.
ANDRE: I beg your pardon?
Ivan walked over to Lawrence.
IVAN: You may have won for right now, Mr. DiMera. But not for long.
Ivan took the duct tape off of Lawrence's mouth. He then proceeded to untie Lawrence, who got up and walked over to André.
LAWRENCE: For soon, very, very soon, you will lose.
André looked from Tony to Ivan to Lawrence.
ANDRE: No!

[ghoulgirl]

Love it! Thanks for another great chapter.

I just realized the combo name for Bart and Rolf would be barf. hahahahaha
That made me laugh out loud for real. LOL

Can't wait for tomorrow's installment!

[sportsgirl]

Why that sneaky Ivan!!! This just gets more interesting as it goes along!

[Kpatch]

Wow, the upper hand keeps switching! I need a scorecard.

Just love Bart's dialogue. "Wow, this is awkward." LOL. Great job Andre!

[Tom Horton]

^^ Me too! Sounds just like Bart - I miss him! Great turnaround in the story with Ivan.

Chapter 5

DiMERA BASEMENT
John was still using the tracking device to look for Marlena. Soon, the tracking device started beeping like crazy when John got near the body with the white sheet over it.
JOHN (whispering): Well, the tracker says that this is Marlena. Let's see what DiMera's done to her.
John took the sheet off, of course, Marlena was under there, and she still looked the way Hattie had looked before her surgeries. Her eyes opened and she looked at John.
JOHN (whispering): Doc?

DiMERA LIVING ROOM
IVAN: Mr. Alamain, I am very sorry for letting you go so early, but I could not stand to look at my dear Madam's nephew in that state any longer.
LAWRENCE: It's quite all right, Ivan. You've done well. Aunt Vivian will be proud when she hears of your work. She may even consider firing Gus and demanding that I give you back to her.
IVAN: Thank you, sir.
LAWRENCE: Now, Andre, this is something I've been wanting to do for a long time.
Lawrence punched Andre in the face.
ANDRE: Ivan, how could you do this to me?
IVAN: Did you really think I would ever work for you? No, I've been working for Mr. Alamain all this time. This was all part of his grand plan.
ANDRE: What do you mean?
LAWRENCE: I knew that you were lying when you said you would give me the reigns to DiMera Enterprises. A DiMera would never share part of their company with anybody, especially not an Alamain. So, Aunt Vivian and I came up with a brilliant plan. I would give you a deal, splitting up control of DiMera Enterprises. You would trick me, take Ivan from me, and have him tie me up. When the time was right, Ivan would untie me and I would defeat you.
ANDRE: But you will never defeat me, Alamain. You and Ivan might have pulled the wool over my eyes, but I still have my secret weapon.
They heard a scream coming from the basement.
JOHN (Screaming): No! You can't do this to me!!!
ANDRE: And there she comes now.
Marlena came up the stairs and into the room, dragging John behind her. When she spoke, her voice had absolutely no emotion.
MARLENA: I found this man snooping around in the lab, master.
ANDRE: Good job, my Queen. Now, release him to me. I shall deal with him.
MARLENA: Yes, my master.
Marlena shoved John over to Andre.
ANDRE: Now...what to do with you?
BART: Is the throw-rug idea still an option?
ANDRE: Well, I'm taking it into greater consideration than I had previously.
Marlena laughed. John joined in on her laughter. Andre looked at both of them.
ANDRE; And just what is so funny?
JOHN: Do you know what one of the most remarkable things about you is, Andre? You've got the most brilliantly evil mind I've ever seen. You've got the best security system next to the ISA, multiple cameras in every room, and you still can't see the obvious. After all this time, you're still bone-dead stupid.
Andre cracked his knuckles.
ANDRE: What did you say?
Marlena's voice regained emotion. She went to stand next to John.
MARLENA: Did you really think I would side with you over my own husband?
ANDRE: But...but Rolf reprogammed you. You are my slave! You will obey my every command!
ROLF: Actually, Andre, I sort of...forgot to reprogram her.
ANDRE: You what?!
ROLF: In my defense, I did not have enough time. I was planning to reprogram Dr. Evans once her transformation was complete, but I never got there.
ANDRE: Oh, Rolf! Rolf, what am I going to do with you?!
TONY: There's only one thing you can do now, Andre.
ANDRE: And what would that be, my dear cousin?
TONY: Give up.
LAWRENCE: It's over.
JOHN: You've lost.
MARLENA: Accept it.
ANDRE: Never!
Andre pulled out a gun. He immediately shot and killed Bart, Rolf, Lawrence, and Ivan. He now had the gun pointed at Tony.
TONY: Andre, it's over. Put the gun down.
ANDRE: No! No, it can't be over! I cannot accept that! I will not! I refuse!
TONY: You have to.
ANDRE: No! Not like this! It can't end like this! All my hard work! All my plans! You've destroyed them all!
TONY: No, Andre. I did not destroy them. Not this time. No, this time you have brought this on yourself.
ANDRE: Never forget, Tony, you did this! I blame you! Forever! You are the destroyer of dreams!
Andre put the gun up to his own head and pulled the trigger.
TONY: No!!!
Andre fell to the ground, dead.

[Kpatch]

OMG, I am gasping for breath. So much excitement going on.
I love that Gus got a mention. He's no Ivan.
Can't wait to find out what happens next. Thanks Andre.
