Alexis: Oh, hi, there. Thanks for coming.

Agent Rayner: Sure.

Alexis: Help yourself to a drink.

Agent Rayner: Scotch rocks, please. So any chance this is a social encounter?

Alexis: I'm not sure that I follow.

Agent Rayner: Well, you asked me for a drink, as opposed to barging into my office threatening legal action.

Alexis: That's because you had threatened my daughter so that she wouldn't get her P.I.'s license.

Agent Rayner: It's my understanding she didn't have the proper qualifications.

Alexis: Well, as it turns out, she didn't. But that's not why I called you here.

Agent Rayner: After our first encounter, you have an attraction you can no longer deny.

Alexis: I'm going to pretend that you didn't just say that, or worse, mean that.

Agent Rayner: If I did?

Alexis: You'd be flirting with me.

Agent Rayner: Maybe just a little.

Alexis: Let me explain this to you as delicately as I can. I have a gift for attracting deranged men. My last relationship was with a card-carrying sociopath. So I'd just advise you to not even feign being attracted to me, because then I would have to assume that you're a lunatic. And right now, I need you to be this really sane, reasonable, level-headed fed agent who is going to help me with a big, big favor.

Agent Rayner: What kind of favor?

Alexis: I need you to use all the resources available to you to investigate this Woman, Rebecca Amber Shaw. She once lived in Opal City, Washington. She's now residing in Port Charles. I need you to find everything you can about her. Look over everything with a fine-toothed comb. If you see anything suspicious at all, let me know. And then keep it off the books.


Agent Rayner: You don't ask for much, do you?

Alexis: I realize this is an unorthodox request.

Agent Rayner: First you imply that I'm a latent psychopath, and then you ask me to violate all kinds of agency regulations, not to mention a citizen's right to privacy.

Alexis: No, no, no. I didn't say that you were a psychopath. I said you could be a psychopath. There's a big difference. I'm counting on you to be a very level headed, trustworthy agent.

Agent Rayner: And if I do what you want, I'm neither.

Alexis: Here's the deal. There's this Woman, Rebecca Amber Shaw, who looks identical to my nephew's dead fiancée. Her name is Emily Quartermaine. Try to follow this. Emily lived in Port Charles, worked at General Hospital, dated my nephew. This Rebecca shows up looking identical to Emily, in Port Charles, works at General Hospital, is dating my nephew. Now, this whole thing is really weird, really creepy, and I think this Rebecca has some agenda going and I think she's somehow connected to my stepmother.

Agent Rayner: Stepmother?

Alexis: Helena Cassadine? Look her up. It's very interesting reading. In any case, I think Helena hired her, gave her plastic surgery, told her how to act in front of Nikolas, and sent her after him like a heat seeking missile.

Agent Rayner: Why?

Alexis: Because he has control of over $10 billion.

Agent Rayner: Now, see, that's the first thing you've said to me that makes any sense whatsoever.

Alexis: Mm-hmm. So here's what I think. I think that you should check into Rebecca Shaw’s records, check everything -- her childhood, see if she has any juvie records. Maybe there's something she's trying to cover up.

Agent Rayner: Assuming I find something, what are you going to do with it?

Alexis: I will go straight to Nikolas and hope that he will cut Rebecca out of his life to stop her from getting whatever she came here for.
