The Ritz Carlton Hotel

[Anna Leigh Williams]

Elysium sat at the desk in her elegant hotel room, typing away at her laptop. She sent her final E-mail, and closed it. She stood up, letting her long hair down from it's bun. It hit the middle of her back, as she unzipped her black dress. She took it off, going into the shower. She put on an adult contemporary radio station, and got in the shower. After she was done, she put on a mid thigh length silk nightgown. She started combing her hair, when she head a knock at the door. "Hmm...." She set her comb down on the counter in the bathroom, and grabbed her matching robe. She put it on, closing it, and opened the door. 

"Hello, my darling daughter..." It was her mother, Lillian. Elysium grimaced at her, tightening her jaw. "Get out.." She hissed. Lillian laughed, "Ridiculous..." Lillian slinked past her daughter, "You seem to be doing well.." She said, smiling. Elysium shut the door, and crossed her arms. "What do you want, mother..?" She asked. Lillian turned around. "Can't a mother see her daughter without an ulterior motive..?" Lillian responded. Elysium laughed sarcastically. Her mother chuckled, "You know me all too well..." She said.

She walked to Elysium, placing her hands on her shoulders. "Christopher is dead..." She said. Elysium looked down, "I know... That's why I'm here... G Corporation has me here in questioning, because of you.." She said, pushing her mother away from her. Lillian let her arrogant smile go. "I know Nina and Anna will have me dead.." She said. Elysium pursed her lips, "You should have thought about that before you killed him...." She said. 

Lillian sighed. "It wasn't supposed to happen, Elysium... I wasn't anticipating him actually fighting his own daughter." Elysium looked at her mother, confused. "What happened..?" She asked. 

Lillian sat down, "Johanna's final will... She asked that the projects be terminated, and there was only one way. To activate the failsafe, NT-03..." She said. Lillian looked down. "I'm strong, but... I don't know if I can hold them both off, even with Anna's illness." She looked up at her daughter. "If they kill me, I must tell you her switch, so you can restore her to herself." Elysium shook her head. "No, I want no part of this... You're insane." 

Lillian finally stood back up, and walked to her daughter. "When they kill me, Elysium... You need to go to her, she'll be dormant with NT01 and NT02 and disposed of... Just utter this phrase..." She then got close to her daughter, and whispered something in her ear. She pulled back. Elysium looked at her mother. She wasn't confidant as usual. "You really believe your time has come, don't you..?" She asked. Lillian chuckled. "Nina's only true match was Anna... Everyone knows that." She said. She then ran her hand through Elysium's wet hair. "Find you brother..? Make sure he's not getting into too much trouble..."

Elysium said nothing. Lillian sighed, with tears in her eyes. "Goodbye, Elysium..." She then left the hotel room. Elysium stood there, frowning...

Nina arrived at the hotel not too long after, ready to go and settle this once and for all. Everything lead up to this moment. The only thing that could possibly ruin this is if Anna tracks her down and tries to kill her. Or Steve shows up and tries to claim her as his own mother. As if. She never did anything for the boxer, yet he still insists on wanting to be her son.

Just pathetic.

Nina knocks on the hotel room door, ready to hear more whereabouts of Lillian.

Elysium's hair was dried and pulled back up by the time Nina arrived. She opened the door, and smiled a little. "Nina..." She opened it, "Come in.." She said." She walked into the living area, and sat down, "Wine..?" She asked, picking up her own glass, and taking a sip. "It's not often I actually get to relax, what with running your mother's business and all..." She said. She sat down. "What can I do for you..?"

Her heart was racing inside the cool demeanor. Her mother there just a moment ago, and now Nina was here. She knew something was definitely happening soon.

[Lei Wulong]

Nina took a seat and shook her head. "I need to be sober for this."

"What can I do for you..?"

"So, any news on your family's whereabouts?"

[Anna Leigh Williams]

Elysium sipped her wine once more, nervously. "My mother was just here, actually..." She said. "She's expecting a fight between you, Anna, and her.." She sighed. "Apparently the mind control on NT-03 can be reversed..." Elysium shook her head, and stood up. "I've worked so hard to separate myself from all of this..." She clenched her jaw, looking out of the window. "She whispered to me..." She turned back to Nina. "To meet her at the place of your brother's demise. It is there you and your sister can try to have your revenge." Elysium said, quietly. She sipped again from her glass, and set it down.

"Good luck, Nina..." She said.

[Lei Wulong]

"So, that's it huh? She must really want to die." Nina smiled. "Probably boohooing about how her ex died and now she wants me and my dear sister, Anna to kill her. Too bad. She's going to be very disappointed. Because I'm the only one who will show up."

"Apparently the mind control on NT-03 can be reversed..."

"I suppose that's good news."

"To meet her at the place of your brother's demise. It is there you and your sister can try to have your revenge."

"This seems too easy, don't you think?"

[Anna Leigh Williams]

"I'm going to be honest with you, It could be a trap. She's... very manipulative." She looked down. "I don[t know, this time... She seemed... Different." She looked back up at Nina. "She seemed genuine." She frowned as Nina went on about her mother and Chris together. "I highly doubt they were together. Despite any rumors about my parentage, I know my mother had no romantic interest in Chris." She said.

"It's of no matter... This is your open opportunity. You can take it, or let her escape." Elysium told Nina. "The only repercussion I can think of on your family afterwards is my brother, but... I'll take care of it. "

[Lei Wulong]

"I'm going to be honest with you, It could be a trap. She's... very manipulative. I don't know, this time... She seemed... Different."

"Different how?"  Nina stood up, just about to head on out.

"She seemed genuine."

"Are you sure about that?" Nina placed both hands on her hips.  "You said it yourself, she's very manipulative.  No doubt she's faking that entire thing."

"I highly doubt they were together. Despite any rumors about my parentage, I know my mother had no romantic interest in Chris."

"Of course, because Little James has better standards than that wretch!"

"It's of no matter... This is your open opportunity. You can take it, or let her escape. The only repercussion I can think of on your family afterwards is my brother, but... I'll take care of it. "

Nina stood there, sighing as she thought this over.  Of course it will be a trap.  But this time she's learned her lesson.

"I think I know exactly what I should do now." She smiled.  

[Anna Leigh Williams]

Elysium frowned. "Whatever it may be, the sooner my mother is gone the sooner i can return to Dublin and resume my life." she sighed. She fekt conflicted. The only time her mother ever shared any kind of emotion could also be the final time she saw her? It didnt seem fair. But life wasnt fair.

"Go. Now. I dont wish to speak of it anymore." She said. " All i ask is you tell me when its done."

[Lei Wulong]

"Go. Now. I dont wish to speak of it anymore.  All i ask is you tell me when its done."

"You'll be the first to know.  Trust me."  Nina leaves the hotel.  She was grateful for Elysium's cooperation.  But now, Nina had to prepare.  It didn't matter if this was a trap, Nina would definitely kill Lillian this time.
