Hi everyone!

The characters seemed to move around a lot today, so I'm going to try to 
group the update in terms of plots, rather than locations.
Here we go...

			THE CITY UPDATE
			Thursday, June 13th, 1996

ANGIE AND JACOB'S UN-STORY
(Updater's plea:  Writers, please give these two talented actors their 
 own storyline, Please, Please, Please!)

*Angie and Jacob are having lunch in their apartment.  Jacob says that 
since Angie just got a new intern to help her, Angie should come with 
him out to California to check on Nick's record deal.  Angie need a 
vaction to "Chill", but Angie refuses.  The phone rings, it's Tess.  She 
has an emergency with Jared, could they please come down.

*Down at the former Wilder Modeling Agency, Tess greets them at the door 
holding a bat.  She's afraid if she leaves, that Jared is going to 
"swoop down here and change the locks."  She came to terms with Jared, 
but she doesn't trust him not to break his word.  What Tess wants from 
Angie is the name of the woman Jared raped.

*Angie won't give the name because of 'patient confidentiality'.  Angie 
thinks Tess should go to the police, but Tess knows she can't fight 
Jared's lawyers, or Jared might even have her killed.  Jacob suggests 
that Tess stay with him and Angie.  Tess says "What do I look like, the 
orphan of the week, first Buck, now you."  No, if Angie won't help, one 
way or another Tess is going to make Jared pay.


JOCELYN'S FAMILY PORTRAIT

*Jocelyn is alone in her apartment, looking through a family album.  
"Happy family, it's all a lie, Daddy", she says and rips up a picture of 
her and her father.

*Danny, outside in the hall, gets a phone call from his friend in 
Mexico.  Danny's going down for a visit (i.e. to get away from Mike) and 
will call back with details as soon as he checks on Molly.  He knocks on 
the door. "Whoa sis, you look like hell", he compliments his sister.  
Jocelyn says she has the flu.  Danny asks about Molly and when Jocelyn 
says she's in Seattle visiting her family, he exclaims "YES!!".  Jocelyn 
can't understand his reaction and scolds him not to mess it up with 
Molly, just like every other relationship either one of them has ever 
had.  Danny tells her to relax and tries to hug her.  He wants to know 
what's really going on.

*Jocelyn says she's fine, but Danny doesn't buy it.  Jocelyn then gives 
him a lame excuse that she was just thinking about her failed marriage 
and how bad things are with Alex.  Danny has a good thing with Molly and 
shouldn't blow it.  Danny gives Jocelyn an equally lame excuse that he 
was glad Molly went home to her family because they had a fight and it 
was really about her missing her family. (Actually he told her he never 
cared about her and she went crying back to her family).  Danny says 
then that Jocelyn is lying, she's torn up about something her Dad did.

*Danny finds the ripped up picture on the floor.  Jocelyn admits she did 
confront her Dad, (but doesn't say what it was about).  Jocelyn blows up 
at Danny when he calls her Daddy's little princess.  They both had it 
bad, with their Mom drinking and their father hitting her, but it's not 
their fault.  Danny says Jocelyn grew up just fine, she's his hero, 
Danny was the one who's always the screw-up.  He tells her to forget 
about the argument with Dad, he isn't worth the tears. Danny leaves.  
Jocelyn sits down at the table and has a flashback of her confrontation 
with her father, where he says that if she was so appalled at what was 
happening, why didn't she tell anyone, maybe because she didn't want it 
to stop.(This guy is really, really sick)

SYDNEY AND THE LOANSHARK

*Mike, the loanshark, comes to Sydney's apartment after Sydney calls 
him.  She lets him in quickly because she doesn't want everyone to see 
him *lurking* in the hall.  Sydney gives him Jocelyn's address and tells 
him that she's not only a lawyer, she's also a prostitute.

*Sydney says, Ooh, I shouldn't have said anything about her being a 
prostitute(like that *really* just slipped by accident).  Mike asks her 
when he should do "it" and Sydney says do it now.

*At Jocelyn's apartment, Jocelyn has pulled herself together, changed 
her clothes and is headed out the door.  When she opens it, Mike is 
standing in the doorway.  Jocelyn says he must have the wrong apartment, 
but Mike says he's in the right place. "You're in for a surprise."


SYDNEY, JARED AND THE TROJAN HORSE

*At their apartment, Sydney gives Jared a briefcase, an early 
anniversary gift. (Beware of Sydney bearing gifts)  Jared doesn't 
usually use one, but Sydney says she went through the trouble of getting 
the paperwork he needs for his meeting with Malcolm about the Orbitron 
deal.  Jared agrees to use it, it was "very thoughtful" of Sydney.  
Jared has an anniversary gift, but he's saving it for a surprise.  Jared 
leaves and Sydney calls someone. "Well, he took the briefcase, the rest 
is up to you."

*Jared and Malcolm are talking in Jared's office.  Jared says the plan 
is to get Tess out, the crew in, and get "this business" in the agency 
taken care of once and for all.  Malcolm reminds him there will be 
risks.  Jared thinks the risks are worth it, by tomorrow night, he and 
Sydney will be on their way to the islands.  Malcolm wonders if Sydney 
will come along, she's been spending a lot of time with Danny Roberts.  
"She'll come", says Jared, just sign the documents that will transfer 
the treasure and have it transported. (Jared has a flashback to walking 
in on Sydney and Danny kissing the other day) "I know she's lying to me 
about wanting this anniversary to be a new beginning for us."  When he 
takes her away, she's in for quite a surprise.  She'll come along one 
way or the other.  Jared tells Malcolm to get started on Tess, he has a 
surprise for her, and never mention Danny Roberts again. (Remember this 
conversation, you'll hear it again later)

*Malcolm brings Tess the cash, $200,000, instead of the $150,000 Jared 
promised her. "What's the catch", Tess demands.  Malcolm says to take 
the money and leave today.  The extra money is Jared's way of making 
sure that Tess doesn't do anything in the future that will make Jared 
have to "dirty his hands".  Tess turns over the letter from her safety 
deposit box with the evidence that Jared swindled her.  Malcolm leaves.
Tess, standing in the empty agency, shouts "It's all yours, I hope you
CHOKE on it."

*Jared enters Sydney's apartment, looking for a sales projection about 
Orbitron.  Sydney says it was delivered earlier by special delivery and 
it's on his desk.  When Jared leaves to get it, Sydney opens his 
briefcase and pulls a tape recorder out of the false bottom.  Jared 
returns and Sydney asks him if something special is going on besides the 
Orbitron deal.  Jared denies it, he is just keeping on top of all his 
companies.  Jared leaves and Sydney listens to the tape of Malcolm and 
Jared's conversation (see above), especially the part where he says he 
knows Sydney is lying about a new beginning and Sydney is in for quite a 
surprise.

*Meanwhile, downstairs, Danny is getting his mail in the lobby and runs 
into Jared coming out of the elevator.  Jared wants to talk to Danny and 
offers to buy him a drink.  Jared thinks its time they had a little 
talk.

To be continued.....
