Introduction
No one can really be sure of the effect of the rehabilitation from dependancy.
For some, it's just like throwing yourself into reverse and starting where
you left off, for Brenda Barrett it was the uncontrollable urge to flee.
In Brenda's mind, leaving Port Charles and all of it's memories was a way
of taking control of her life and finally banishing her addiction forever.
This, coupled with promises of adventure and the romanticism of ancient Egypt
made it logical, at least in her mind, to leave with Egyptologist Cedric
Palmerton and never look back.
It's been a year since she's left, and Port Charles will never be the same.
The two men in her life, Sonny and Jax, have shifted their attentions from
loving Brenda to destroying each other. PC has become a war zone . Each man
trying to squelch each other's fire.
Chapter 1
"She came in through the bathroom window...protected by a silver spoon."-
Lennon& McCartney
Sonny sat at the bar staring into a half-empty brandy snifter. " Ya know
Luke, I never thought I'd say this ...but I can't do this alone anymore."
Sonny spoke almost deadpan. Luke finished wiping the bar and stared into
Sonny's eyes " I have been watching you and Jax play king of the hill for
way to long, he pushes you, you get up, you push him, he gets up ...let's
hope this machismo contest doesn't soon involve a body count." Sonny just
laughed and finished off his brandy.
"Luke," he sighed, " I have intercepted about 10,000 dollars worth of Jax
cosmetics, HE has the bar closed down and searched for cocaine. He gets me...he
always gets me....."
"Sonny, I don't mean to hurt your feelings but don't you think this whole
game makes about as much sense as bangin' your head into the wall." Luke
pleaded with Sonny
"Well look who's talking 'ICE PRINCESS' " Sonny snarled
" Luke, I've brought in a baraccuda..."
The door to the bar flung open like a scene from the old westerns, and there
stood a woman, as inconspicuous as a neon sign,
"Sonny....you rang" snapped her voice.....
