Mr. Immigration Man, Chapter 1




The GH Library. Cootiebell and Barnabus Cassadine are in a liplock when Bobbie walks in.

"Ugh. Can't you two take it somewhere else?"

" Well, that it's any of your business Barbara, no."

" The nurses are having a meeting in here. So take Katybore and go
elsewhere."

" Your roots are showing Barbara."

"Yeah, well, you don't hide your fangs too hard these days. So tell me
Katie, has he promised you eternal devotion, yet? He's good at that."

"Well, I think that you two need time alone."

" Yes, Katherine. You don't need to be exposed to this."

"Oh will you give me a break! You act as if the Sex Kitten over there
sprouted from a Lily Pond. PULEEZE! But then, I guess you have to keep her happy, or she spills the beans about your itchy trigger finger."

" Now you're starting to sound like your delusional brother."

" Luke may be a lot of things, but the only delusions around here are
from your plaything. She really thinks you care about her. Ha! "

"You wouldn't know anything about REAL feelings. You're incapabale."

"ME not know real feelings. Stefan, you wouldn't know a real feeling if
it bit you in the butt. So why don't you take your Greco-Russian shootin and seducing your victim self and get the hell out of here, cause your wasting space."

Stefan is about to respond when Audrey and the nurses walk in.

"Are we interrupting something?"

"No. Stefan was just leaving."

Stefan gives Bobbie one of his sneering glares and in all his
imperiousness, walks away. In the hall he finds Kathysnore.

"Oh, Stefan. I am sorry that you had to go through that. It must be hard
for Bobbie to see two happy people together. Our love is so undeniable."

"Yes. Barbara is such an embittered woman. It is a shame. But we belong together."

"Yes, we do. And once I move into Wyndermere, you, Nikolas and I will be one big happy family."

"Move into Wyndermere?"

"Yes. When the time is right, when Nikolas is ready, I will be the
bridge that brings us all together. So, what are we going to do now?"

"I'm sorry Katherine. But I have Cassadine, Inc. business that I must
attend to. I have to meet Alexis back on Spoon Island soon. But, I would like to have dinner with you...at the retreat. "

"Oh, I can't wait. Bye."

"Good bye Katherine."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At Wyndermere, Alexis and Stefan are doing over business when Mrs.
Lansbury comes in.

"Yes Mrs. Lansbury."

"A Mr. Dudley Danforth to see you Mr. Cassadine."

" I don't know a Mr. Danforth."

"He says he is with the Immigration and Naturalization Service."

"Well, show him in."

Dudley Danforth comes in. About Stefan's height, but the epitome in
appearance of a straight-laced, no-nonsense bureaucrat.

"Well, Mr. Danforth. How do you do. I'm Stefan Cassadine. This is the
family attorney, Alexis Davis."

Danforth extends his hand.

"Nice to meet both of you, Mr. Cassadine, Ms. Davis."

"What brings you to Wyndermere?"

" It has come across my desk that you are no longer married, Mr.
Cassadine. That you received a Santo Dominico divorce."

"Yes, that is correct."

"Well, then I am sorry, but your citizenship papers must be denied. And not only that, I wish to inform you that you are going to be deported. Along with one Nikolas Cassadine."

"Excuse me? Can you tell me for what reason?"

"Well, you seem to attract a level of violence whereever you go, Mr.
Cassadine. First there was the unsolved shooting on your property in
December, where you have not been cleared, and recently there was a fire on the property and one Nikolas Cassadine was injured. If you are not married, there is no need for you to stay since your visa has expired."

"And if I were to marry again?"

"To another woman?"

"Yes."

"That would look highly suspicious, Mr. Cassadine. As if you are
attempting to perpetrate a fraud on the United States Government. IS
that what you are doing, Mr. Cassadine?"

"No. Not at all. How long do I have before the deportation hearing?"

"60 Days."

"And if I were to reconcile with my wife?"

"If, to this agency's approval, you showed that you were really in a
marriage and not a sham, then there would be no need to deport you if
you are with a citizen."

"I see."

"Well, I look forward to hearing from you, Mr. Cassadine. I will contact
you soon. Good day Mr. Cassadine, Ms. Davis."

"Goodbye."

Danforth leaves.

"Can you believe that? There must be something that you can do, Alexis. Check on this situation for me, and check into Mr. Danforth."

"I will."

Stefan leaves Alexis. He is thinking about dinner with Katherine when
Alexis returns.

"You don't look happy."

"I'm not."

"What did you learn?"

" 1) Danforth is a straight shooter. The man is so clean, he squeaks. He
also has a great reputation and his bosses are loathe to overrule him,
so finding someone with influence will not work here.

2) Danforth is correct in saying that you can be deported, along with
Nikolas in 60 days.

3) A marriage to Katherine would be terribly suspect and unacceptable to the INS.

4) I found out that a Santo Dominico divorce CAN be nullifed if ONE Of the parties does not agree to it. BUT, there have to be grounds."

"Such as?"

"Adultery...but then that's you, not Bobbie."

"What else, Alexis?"

" Well, a surefire way is to resume marital relations."

"Marital relations...hmmmmm"

"Stefan, Bobbie HATES you...she tried to drug you..I think the last
thing she wants to do is to sleep with you."

" That maybe true, but I always did like a challenge."

" A challenge. After all that's happened, you think you can win Bobbie
back?"

"Yes. All I need is to detonate a few explosives at the right time..and
wait for the fallout to occur. And be in the right place at the right
time."

"I'm glad you are so sure of yourself. Because the clock is ticking
Stefan. You have 60 days in which to find grounds that I can fight this
divorce and keep you married and in this country."

"Alexis, Ye of little faith. Besides, I think Barbara might still have
feelings for me. The opposite of love isn't hate. It's indifference. And
Barbara is anything but indifferent to me. Well, I must go meet
Katherine."

STefan kisses Alexis goodbye.

"You say that Bobbie isn't indifferent. Well, neither are you cousin."
