Chapter 23

SALEM INN
It is now the next evening. Mia is sitting at the edge of the bed, eating soup. Nicole walked in.
NICOLE: Feeling better?
Mia nodded.
MIA: The Gatorade helped. And so is the soup. I'm actually holding it down and my stomach doesn't hurt anymore.
NICOLE: Still have a headache?
MIA: It's not as bad.
NICOLE: Well, it'll be gone tomorrow. And then, we're leaving town.
MIA: What?
NICOLE: I said, "It'll be gone tomorrow. And then, we're leaving town".
MIA: Why?
NICOLE: You need more intense training. After last nights incident, training at places that don't serve alcohol. You and I are going on a little trip, Mia. And when I'm done with you, you'll be an expert at how to lie, cheat, and scheme to get the man you want.

HEATHROW AIRPORT - LONDON
Melanie and Vic were coming out of the terminal and going to the baggage claim.
MELANIE: I should probably mention one thing. My brother knows about what happened with me and Philip. But, he doesn't quite know that you look exactly like him. So, he might...
At that moment, Nicholas walked up.
NICHOLAS: Kiriakis! What the he'll are you doing here?

TUNE IN FOR THE FINALÉ TOMORROW

[sportsgirl]

Why is Nicole going through such effort to do this to Mia?Vic, watch out for the punch!

[Kpatch]

Duck Philip Vic!

Finale??? Do I smell a sequel?

[fluffysmom]

Poor Vic. Melanie should have warned Nicholas about Victor.

Hmm...wondering what Nicole is up to with Mia.

Chapter 24

SALEM INN
MIA: Nicole, it's not that I don't appreciate what you're doing, but why are you going to these extreme lengths to help me?
NICOLE: Because I know how badly you want your man. I see a lot of myself in you. And, we've worked together before.
MIA: Are those the only reasons?
Nicole stared off into space for a minute.

PARK
Nicole is sitting on Benchy with a brown envelope. She opens it and looks inside.
NICOLE: How is this possible? This can't be right. She's my daughter.

SALEM INN
Nicole snapped out of it.
NICOLE: Yeah. Yeah, those are my only reasons.

HEATHROW - LONDON
Nicholas walked up to them. He and Vic stared at each other for a minute. Then, Nicholas started laughing.
NICHOLAS: I can't do this anymore. How you doin', Vic?
The two men had a bro hug.
VIC: Melanie, you didn't tell me this joker was your brother.
NICHOLAS: And you didn't tell me you were bringing this guy along.
MELANIE: You two know each other?
NICHOLAS: Yeah. We went to college together.
MELANIE: Oh, that's cool. How's mom?
NICHOLAS: She's all right. I've got Henri watching her for right now. Come on, guys, let's go home.
And together, Melanie, Nicholas, and Vic exited Heathrow Airport and entered this next phase of their lives.

[fluffysmom]

Unexpected ending to both storylines. Great story Andre. Too cool that Vic and Nickolas were college buddies.

[sportsgirl]

Nicole is Mia's real Mom? That explains why she is helping her and funny on the Nicholas & Vic....

[gapeach]

Can't wait to read more from you Andre'.

[Kpatch]

This was a great twist. I could totally see Mia being Nicole's daughter.
I'm relieved that Nicholas didn't punch Vic.

Thanks for a great story, Andre!
