Loma Vista: Episode 41. The War Begins

    Night's fallen in Loma Vista, and at Lord Incorporated, Lorenzo walks around Roger's office, as he laughs to himself "So this is how the two of you work? And then go after my Mama? Now we can't having that now can we Jackie?" Lorenzo glares at his Former Uncle, as he's restrained by Sayyid and Tyrone, and Bo watches Roger, as he's still out from being knocked out by Lorenzo. Jack yells at Lorenzo "You are going to lose through business! You are an evil bastard you son of a bitch!" Lorenzo snaps "All you ever tried to do is hurt my Aunt Ann, and steal Thomas Auto, and Ann cleaned your ass dry and you deserved it! Hell be grateful she gave you the damn house! You're not getting shit from me, or try to bring me down with Roger Lord!" Tyrone gets a text, as he snaps "What the.." Tyrone draws his pistol, as he aims it at Lorenzo, asking his Brother In Law "My Mama just sent me a text saying you slept with that whore Dina, and she has a child.. No it ain't like that." Sayyid warns Tyrone, as Bo draws his AK at Tyrone "Back off. This is business!" Tyrone screams "No! It's family!" Someone walks down the hall, with a pistol in their hand, as inside Roger's Office, Sayyid holds onto Jack, and warns him, as he tries to escape "I will kill you next time whitey." Lorenzo looks at his Brother In Law, as he keeps his pistol aimed at Jack "I don't know what the hell you are talking about." Someone walks into the room, as Tyrone yells at Lorenzo, turning off the safety "Well you are about to pay for hurting my Sister!" Sayyid attempts to intervene, as Bo yells at Tyrone "If you shoot, I'll shoot you." Jack looks at the door, as a man stands holding a pistol, and he and Tyrone both shoot, as Jack's eyes widen, as does Lorenzo, as he grabs his chest, and falls to the ground, as the man walks out of the room, and Bo turns towards Tyrone, as he aims at Bo, and Jack warns "Get out before I have you all arrested you barbaric beings." Bo picks up Lorenzo, as he holds his chest, and Bo yells frantically "Stay with me Boss." Sayyid aims his pistol at Jack, and goes coldly "Enjoy!", as he shoots Jack in his kneecap, and turns to Tyrone, and asks him "Did you just shoot Lorenzo?" Tyrone answers "Maybe I did, or maybe the other guy did." Jack yells, as he holds his knee "Two can play the game!" Sayyid walks over to Jack, and kicks him, and warns "I hope you bleed to death in here." Outside, Bo gets Lorenzo inside his truck, and rushes to Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, as in the door, Sayyid grabs Tyrone, and snarls "You've done messed up."
    At The Bluebird Manor, Elizabeth, Ann, and Bob stands back, as Randi's eyes are widened, with fear, and sadness, as Henry, with his pistol aimed at her, as he yells at his Mother "You could raise Zach Miller, the sorriest piece of shit, but just go off to New Mexico, and try to give me up.." Bob reminds his Son "Now I did come get.." Elizabeth yells "No Mama and I went to get Henry, and then gave him to you, and then.." Randi yells at her Sister with fury in her tone "Elizabeth this is low for you! Bringing him back! And was Bob involved?" Elizabeth snaps "You owe your Son!" Ann meanwhile looks up, and says in her mind "Damn Randi! She got your ass!" Elizabeth tells her Sister "Now that Henry is here, and staying with me.." Randi looks at Bob, and tells him "Leave me alone." She turns to her Son, and warns him "Stay away from Felicia and Tilly." Henry turns off the safety, and coldly answers "I'll do what I want, and you can go to hell." Randi storms out, and slams the door, as Elizabeth asks everyone "She handled it well I'd say." Ann tells her Sister In Law "She did what she did best, walk out." Henry screams "She won't keep me away." Bob is silent, as Elizabeth and Ann both tell him "Now you see Miranda for who she really is." Henry heads to the guest bedroom, as Bob follows him, and inside, Henry turns to his Father, and goes "Give me space to take this in." Bob assures him "Elizabeth may have her resentments towards me, but she will protect you, and I'm at Wild Man's Cabin if you need me Son." Bob leaves, as Ann's gotten a call, and looks at Elizabeth, with her eyes filled with fear, as she slowly goes "Elizabeth, things have changed forever.." Elizabeth, noticing her tone, asks "What's wrong?" Ann tells her "Go with me to the Hospital. My baby's been shot." Elizabeth and Ann leaves, as Henry sits in his bedroom, and lights a joint, and has a flashback, and makes a phone call, and leaves a voicemail, telling the person "Call me please. I'm in Loma Vista, and I never break a promise."
    At Loma Vista Hospital Downtown, Lizzie's in the ER, as Cassie has been shot in the shoulder, and Jenny fumes with anger "This is Phillip's fault, and.." Cassie turns to her Mother, and asks "Where's Nanny?" Jenny tells her Daughter "She's on her way. Now rest since Lizzie's removed the bullet. And in the morning, we'll be staying with Mama or J.R., or leaving town." At Jenny and Phillip's Condo, Phillip paces the floor, and yells at his Daughter "You just cost me my Marriage Lacey! I am the D.A. of Loma Vista, and if Ann or Jenny, or Cassie presses charges, I will be tied. And you know they.." Lacey snaps "I shot her in the shoulder. Didn't kill her though, wish I had, and her bitchy Mom!" Phillip calls his Wife, as it goes to voicemail, and warns Lacey "I think you may want to leave town." Lacey sits down, and boldly answers "I'm not running like Mom did. My family doesn't scare me. Barbara.." Phillip yells "Once she finds out, you're finished. Best hope Ann doesn't know." Phillip heads to the bedroom, as Lacey sits back with a smug look on her face, and laughs "When you sleep with my man, that's what you get whore." Back at Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, Lizzie walks to the Nurse's Desk, as her Mother stands with tears, as she asks Lizzie "How long did you know?" Lizzie asks her Mother "About?" Nikki screams "You have a two year old Brother Lizzie!" Lizzie's jaw drops, as she warns her gently "Mom, I pulled a move from Daddy's book on her, to protect you." Nikki cries, as she tells her Daughter, with tears "When I see him tonight, I'm asking for a divorce." Lizzie asks "Did you call Grandma yet?" Nikki asks "My Mama, or Elizabeth? I talked to my Mama, and she had enough going on, but said to try to work things out, and apparently Sayyid is sleeping around on her too." Nikki rolls her eyes, and cries "Men are bastards." Lizzie hugs her Mother, as Nikki's hurt by Lorenzo's two year secret, as her Daughter consoles her.
    At Sullivan's River Casino, Eve walks into her Suite at the Hotel, as she thinks back to her confrontation with Lena earlier (Lena screams at Eve "What in the hell do you think you're doing in here? Decided to sneak in and sleep with Sayyid for old times sake? Get your ass out!" Eve tries to explain "Lena.. I didn't.." Lena yells "Lies Lies Lies!!! Get out of here. I knew those tabloids were right about your ass!") Eve sends a text, and with anger in her eyes, snarls "Tyrone Houston, don't worry about Sayyid, worry about me when I see your sorry, worthless ass!" At Lena's Loft, Lena walks around the living room, as she rolls her eyes, and breaks plates, as she yells "I swore I'd never fall for anyone, and then Sayyid screws Eve! Bastard!" Meanwhile, Sayyid and Tyrone ride in his SUV, as they head to Loma Vista Hospital Downtown, as he turns to Tyrone, with anger, as Tyrone asks Sayyid "So you cheated today also on my Mama?" Sayyid yells furiously "I don't know what in the hell you are trying with me boy, but I ain't cheated on Lena with anyone?" Tyrone smiles "She thinks you slept with Eve. Found her in the shower.." Sayyid stops the SUV, and turns it off, as he turns to Tyrone, and in a bold, cold tone, asks him "She came to the Loft? And took a shower? You didn't.." Tyrone, in a smug tone, quips "A little ecstasy, and I gave her something she loves. Nice rough sex! Hell you've moved on..." Sayyid pulls out his pistol, and looks at Tyrone, and asks "So now tell me did you shoot Lorenzo?" Tyrone laughs "Carver did. He shot him. Good man. Told me you were a token for whitey..." Sayyid pulls the keys, and gets out, and opens the passenger door, and grabs Tyrone by the throat, and drags him out, and kicks him to the ground, with his pistol aimed at him, as he coldly tells Tyrone "I was ready to call you Son, and you go and sex Eve, and now you've found your token twin in Carver. That means one thing boy." Sayyid turns off the safety, as Tyrone smiles "If you kill me, my Mama will never take you back." Sayyid screams, and as he keeps his gun on Tyrone, makes a phone call, and says "Never thought this day would..." Tyrone jumps Sayyid, as the pistol goes off, and Tyrone falls to the ground, and Sayyid bends down, and snarls hatefully "I hope death's slow for you token!", as Sayyid gets into his SUV, and drives on, as Tyrone lays on the side of the road, as he shot in the leg, and attempts to call 911, but his phone's dead, as he begins to walk, as it's dark and Tyrone sees headlights, as Elizabeth drives Ann to Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, and Ann yells at Elizabeth "Is that him?" Elizabeth snaps "Who Ann? Who?" Ann screams "Stop the damn car!" Elizabeth asks "What about Cassie?" Ann gets out, as Tyrone pleads for help, as Ann pulls a pistol, and furiously screams "You slept with my Grandbaby, and caused that crazy whore of yours to shoot her! And that's all it wrote for you." Elizabeth is silent, as a shot's fired, and Tyrone drops dead, as Ann gets back into the car, and Elizabeth asks her Sister In Law "Did you just kill somebody?" Ann snaps "Damn right I did. And this stays between us Sis." Elizabeth nods, as they head to Loma Vista Downtown Hospital.
    Back at Lord Incorporated, Randi walks inside, as she yells "Jack, you were right! The bitch is at it..." Randi yells, as Jack lays on the ground, as he's grown weak, and tells Randi "Lorenzo got his tonight." Randi gasps, as Roger gets up, and Randi asks them "Did you have him shot?" Roger, coming to, in a lost tone, answers "Who got shot?" Randi yells "Listen! I just want a part of my Mama's Casino. I did not say to kill my Nephew!" Jack weakly yells at his Ex-Wife "Why do you care if he dies? I hope he does." Randi shrieks, as she runs out "Oh dear God, Elizabeth will kill me if something happens to him." Roger asks Jack, as he grows weaker "Have you called.." The paramedics arrive, as they put Jack onto the stretcher, and carry him out, as he's rushed to Loma Vista Downtown Hospital. Roger stands behind, as he holds his head, and goes "Looks like someone's going to foil my plans, but she won't do it." A man walks inside, as he assures Roger "Well, we'll take care of anyone that stands in our way." At Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, Bo arrives in the Emergency Room, as Lorenzo is unconscious, and screams for help with urgency, as Martin yells for help, and takes them to a room, as Lorenzo's laid onto the bed, and Martin tells a nurse "Call for Lizzie." Martin and the staff begin to tend to Lorenzo, as Martin yells "He's barely got pulse." Bo walks outside, as he looks up, and says a prayer for Lorenzo, as he turns, and Nikki walks by, and asks Bo "Where in the hell is the son of a bitch?" Bo looks down, and takes a deep breath, as he slowly tells her "He's in that room behind me. He's been shot." Nikki runs inside, as Martin looks over, as Nikki asks him "Is he okay?" A nurse walks over, as she tells Nikki "Your Husband has three gunshot wounds in the chest, and apparently one's on the edge of his heart, and you need to call your family." Nikki is in disbelief, filled with anger, hurt, and sadness, and fear, as she looks at Bo, and tells him "Here's my phone, and call my Mother In Law." Bo looks through the phone, and calls Elizabeth, as she and Ann sits inside her car, and Elizabeth answers, as Ann takes a drink from a small bottle of liquor, and smokes a cigarette, as she says to herself "Barbara will regret giving birth to Scar, as Elizabeth gets out, and runs inside, as Ann runs behind, as Elizabeth runs into the Emergency Room, as Ann follows, and Nikki looks at her Mother In Law, with tears in her eyes, as Elizabeth asks with fear in her voice "How's my Son?" Nikki is frozen, as Elizabeth walks inside, as Ann follows her Sister In Law, and Elizabeth starts to cry, and with denial, holds onto Ann, as she cries "Oh my God. No!" A nurse yells "Get out!" Elizabeth screams "How is my SON??" Martin walks over, and goes "Nikki and you need to discuss life support immediately. We're moving him to the ICU and stabilize his bleeding to perform surgery to remove the bullets." Elizabeth runs to his side, and cries "Baby, you can't die on me! Not you. Not my sweet boy." Ann holds Nikki, as does Bo, as Lizzie walks inside, and screams "NO!!!", as she runs over to her Grandmother, as Elizabeth holds onto her Granddaughter tightly, as they cry together." Jenny and Cassie walk inside for a moment, and Ann walks over and gently hugs her Granddaughter, and whispers "Tyrone's dead. Killed his ass tonight like a gangsta." Jenny looks over at her Cousin, and breaks a smile, but saddened, as Cassie asks "Are you ok Nanny? I know how you are." Ann tells them "Call my Sister, and in the morning she's to meet me at Thomas Holdings." Jenny walks over, and hugs her Aunt, and tells Elizabeth "Cassie and I are here." Elizabeth thanks her, as they hug Nikki, and heads to Ann's Mansion for the night.
     At The Bluebird Manor, Henry sits inside the den, and smokes a joint, and quips "Nice stuff Aunt Elizabeth, as the door opens, and Tilly walks inside, and asks Henry "Who are you?" Henry answers "The Brother our Mother didn't tell you about." Tilly gasps, as she cries "Gram was right? Oh my.." Tilly opens her arms, as Henry hugs his Sister for the first time, as she goes "If I'd only knew." Henry quips "That's your Mother's fault." At Bo's Cabin, Bob sits in the living room, as he drinks a beer, as there's a knock, and Bob answers, as Randi stands on the other side, and Bob warns her "You heard your Sister! Get lost!" Randi yells "Please let me in Bob!" Randi starts to cry, as Bob opens the door, and snaps "Shut the crying up and tell me what the hell's wrong with you. You were hateful to our Son.." Randi yells "Lorenzo was shot! And I think once Elizabeth learns of what's happened, she's going to kill me." Bob asks "Didn't you want him gone?" Randi cries "I don't know Bob. I messed up when I got back with Jack, and then Elizabeth pulling that stunt she did, it messed with me. And I want to make things right." Bob walks over to the kitchen and pulls down a bottle of whiskey, and tells Randi "Well first thing you need to do is accept Henry, and let him know his Sisters, but not that other bastard." Randi cries "Another failure of mine." Bob walks over, and looks at Randi, and tells her "I know of one success you've done for me, and that was our Son. And hell, he's just like me, and better than you at pool." Randi goes "Don't start it.." Bob tells Randi "Ready to accept him?" Randi nods, and adds "But what if.." Bob kisses her, and goes "Leave that part to me." At Lena's Loft, Sayyid returns, as Lena yells at him in a raging tone "You screwed Eve today while I was working?" Sayyid tells Lena "That would've been Tyrone. He drugged her, and was going to try and exploit it." Lena takes a deep breath, and goes "I should had known he'd tried something like that." Sayyid tells Lena, changing subjects "You need to go be with your Daughter and Granddaughter now." Lena asks why, and Sayyid tells her, as he touches her "Lorenzo was shot. He may not.." Lena rushes out, as Sayyid locks the door, and follows. Meanwhile on the side of the road, where Tyrone lays dead, and a car pulls up. At Jenny and Phillip's Condo, Phillip walks into the living room, as he prepares to go to bed, as Lacey watches TV, and sends a text, and Phillip tells his Daughter "Jenny's staying with her Mama, so don't get comfortable. I can't make any promises." Lacey ignores her Father, as she gets a text, as it says "Don't worry about anybody." Back at Loma Vista Downtown Hospital, in the ICU, Lorenzo is in a temporary coma, as Nikki, Elizabeth, Lizzie, Ann, and Bo stands outside the room, and Elizabeth tells them "I'm his Mama, and all of you just go home." Nikki tells her Mother In Law "I'm staying too." Lizzie reminds everyone "Only two allowed." Elizabeth and Nikki both look at each other, as Ann hugs them, and whispers to Lizzie "Thank you for keeping your mouth shut earlier." She heads home, as does Bo, as he tells them "He's a good man at heart Nikki, and he loves you, so remember that." Bo leaves, as Elizabeth asks her Daughter In Law "What happened?" Nikki quickly answers "Right now we need to be in there with him. I can't lose the only man I love." Elizabeth and Nikki walks inside, as Lorenzo clings to life, as the monitor begins to go off, and Lizzie runs inside, as she screams for help.
