Chow Will Not Leave the Building!

January 31, 2007
by Brent Kellogg

Convoluted as it may be, details emerged today as to how an alleged predator like David Chow would manage to get a job working in the very same building as his victim.

Found again lurking at Newman Enterprises, Chow was told by top executive Neil Winters to either leave peacefully or be thrown out by security. Playing his joker in the hole, Chow announced he couldn't be thrown out because he works for the company. Well, sort of.

Seems all along Chow has worked for NE subsidiary, Granville Global. Aware of the firm because he brokered the deal, Winters was shell-shocked to learn that executives at a secondary company can dictate who of its employees will work with employees at what amounts to corporate headquarters. Specifically, Chow will work with Winters and Winters has no say in the matter.

Sputtering that Chow must leave the building anyway, Winters was thwarted again when Chow reminded him that making a scene would only make matters worse because people would gossip. Spineless, Winters backed down and then listened as Chow explained that not only does he work for Granville, but that his girl friend, the very dead Carmen Mesta, did to! Mesta did, however, apparently leave Granville prior to taking a job in New York as a PR consultant at the time she was hired to do damage control for Jabot Cosmetics.

Told of this stunning development, Newman employee, and Chow's primary victim, Dru Winters said she knew all along that Chow would "pull some stunt like this" and took for granted too there's nothing she can do about it. Thinking back to having recently seen someone she thought was Mesta, Mrs. Winters was told by her ass-kissing friend Sharon Newman that Mesta has a sister. Newman knew this as a result of having read Mesta's obit.

Perhaps because she thought the person she's been seeing is Mesta's sister, Mrs. Winters immediately enlisted the help of make-believe private eye J.T. Hellstrom to not only locate the sister, but obtain a photograph of her too. Saying it was a task he could handle, Hellstrom reported less than an hour later that Mesta's sister lives in Texas and, while not providing Mrs. Winters with a photo, said the woman looks nothing like Mesta.

It was then Newman's dead brain twitched. In an effort to help the Winters find out what Chow is hiding, Newman said she'd be pleased and honored to do the dirty work. As Chow's good buddy, surely he'll spill his guts. The Winters acted like they didn't want an outsider fighting their battles, but like most weasels, made Newman promise not to endanger herself and then agreed to let her endanger herself.

Oddly, for someone supposedly on the job and should have been at the office where he'd been only moments before, Newman found Chow at the Jitter Joint! Revealing what she'd heard about Chow and Mesta, Newman said if she'd known earlier she would have treated Mesta differently. Playing it very cool, Newman ordered muffins to go and as she was leaving Chow asked if she might join him.

Do ticks join dogs? Of course Newman would join Chow and at last report had one of those, I'm in deep crap again, please Mr. Chow, don't beat my face into hamburger, I'll spread my legs for you, looks on her ugly face.

The Evening News

January 11, 2007

Happy that his biological daughter is going to be out of sight and out of mind like his youngest son, Victor Newman today said again it's time to get the reliquary search on the road. With so many boogey men threatening Brad Carlton's family for so long, the great man said a stop must be put to it and only he, and their respective family members, can make that happen so long as Nick, and presumably Sharon, Newman are not involved.

But before Newman could kick things in gear a phone call came in urging him to watch the local evening news. Making a call of his own afterwards, Newman alerted his oldest daughter that she too should tune the TV to channel 3, the otherwise, little watched cable access channel.

The bad news traveled fast. The entire city it seemed was glued to the sofa as gossip reporter Leanna Love aired an exclusive interview with nobody knows who the hell he is David Chow who hurled charges that one of the city's most respected residents, Dru Winters killed his girl, Carmen Mesta.

As proof, Love offered up the videotape of Winters and Mesta engaged in an altercation at Newman Enterprises shot unwittingly by the ten year old Noah Newman. Outraged that the city's top cop provided the tape to Love, attorney Michael Baldwin barked on the phone at Will Bardwell who swore up and down he didn't give anyone the video.

Baldwin's wife, out of her funk momentarily, surmised the videotape proves Devon Hamilton didn't kill Mesta as an always close at hand to change Mrs. Baldwin's bed pan, Phyllis Newman said the videotape didn't prove anything as everyone pretty much already knew that Mrs. Winters is getting away with murder.

Upset that her scuffle had been shown on national television, but happy to brag that "tons" of news articles about her have been published, Mrs. Winters was distraught. For sure now everyone will see her as the awful mother willing to let her adopted son take the fall for a murder she committed.

Even Winters' daughter and son-in-law had their doubts. Puking all over themselves, Lily and Daniel Romalotti said the videotape shows that Mrs. Winters was "out of control" and so must have done what a media whore like Leanna Love was saying she done by way of airing a videotape and interviewing a nobody like David Chow.

And so what all distraught women do, Mrs. Winters went to the office knowing people would point fingers at her and whisper behind her back. Throwing herself in some work, Mrs. Winters was stunned when Chow materialized out of thin air. Gosh, wasn't security notified about that man? Apparently not as Chow had time again to intimidate his victim until Neil Winters poked his nose in to warn he might call security.

His wife shaking in her combat boots, Mr. Winters took the little woman to the one place Chow was sure to be. The always popular with the criminal element Jitter Joint coffee shop where Mrs. Winters could feel the piercing eyes of those believing without any evidence that she killed someone they didn't know from Eve just because they'd seen it on CNN, or in this case, the Channel 3 Evening News.

And lo, but what Mrs. Winters looked around and who should be at the coffee shop too? The one and only David Chow!

As other members of the Winters clan poured in, Chow confronted Mrs. Winters again until sissy boy Devon stepped forth to call David a "jerk".

Chow was taken aback. He did not cower in fear. He must have loved it when Devon volunteered the information that Mesta was having an affair with his adopted daddy, Mr. Winters! Instead of smacking Devon across the mouth, or at least shoving a bar of soap into it and saying, "Are you freaking crazy?", it was Mr. Winters who shook his limp wrist at Chow and threatening to spank him had to be held back by his family.

Wonder of wonders, when Mrs. Winters returned alone to the wooden box where she lives she was shocked to discover that it had been broken into. Tears came to Mrs. Winters eyes as she she looked at her precious clothing strewn around, ripped to shreds just like she'd done to Mesta's wardrobe. But the really sad part was that Winters said they weren't just any clothes. Each article had meaning! The bra given as a gift by her husband, the witches hat that once belonged to her mother, and the panties her sister wore the night Olivia Winters gave Brad Carlton the best "F" he'd ever had.

And that, as Walter Cronkite might have said, is the way it was and all because of a hack like Leanna Love and the stupidity that roams rampant throughout Genoa City's elite population.

Chow Planned to Wed Dead Woman

How bad can it get when a woman can't visit with her kids at the local coffee shop without being pounced on by the rift raft and then not even residential rift raft but out-of-town rift raft?

Meet David Chow.

As Dru Winters listened to adopted son Devon Hamilton whine that he could go to jail soon if convicted of killing Carmen Mesta, damn but what Chow spotted her likeness - apparently from the "ton" of newspapers articles written about her - and instantly pegged her as Mesta's killer. Dumber than the rocks in Sharon Newman's head, Devon volunteered that he didn't kill Mesta and right away gained Chow's sympathy and that Chow knows Devon didn't do it although Chow has never met Devon or knows anything about what he's capable of.

Trashing Dru as a mother who lies, Chow was interrupted when Lily Winters Romalotti and Devon asked who Chow might be. Saying he was someone who was "close" to Mesta, and that therefore gave him cause to know Mrs. Winters was mixed up with her death, the conversation abruptly ended when the city persecutor and a police detective arrived.

Apparently summoned at Chow's request, Will Bardwell listened as Chow charged Winters with killing Mesta in that she had motive and opportunity when the two girls got into an office shoving match. Dismissing Chow's allegations, Bardwell said he had a bigger fish on the hook and left it at that. Not satisfied, Chow stormed over to Newman Enterprises where he confronted Mrs. Winters again and told she'd call security, spat that he's not leaving Genoa City anytime soon.

Curious as to who the stranger was, Neil Winters stuck his nose into the situation by asking who Chow is and confirming the name pegged Chow as the man Mesta was involved with at her last job in New York. Trying to come off as a saint who had never cheated on his wife before, Mr. Winters asked if Chow's wife knows about the affair. Chow replied it doesn't matter because he's divorced and besides that he was planning to marry Mesta when he learned she'd been murdered.

A likely story that, as Mesta had been in Genoa City for months and not once did she mention Chow's name while she slept around with the likes of Jack Abbott and once tried getting Neil in the sack. Not that a huge detail like that should matter either as Chow's here to stay so that we might hear more of who killed Mesta when all we really care about is that's she dead and it's a wonder Bardwell isn't worried about losing his badge.
