News Archives - Nazi Hunt

Enter the Dragon

January 10, 2007
by Brent Kellogg

Good God! It's a good thing Ashley Carlton is going to Hong Kong and taking her daughter with her because with Victor Newman about to put the entire Newman and Carlton families in danger, think how crowded that jetliner to Hawaii would be.

Oh, what's that? You haven't heard? Not the part about Abby Carlton going to Hong Kong too, but that the great man wants to eliminate every last Nazi including Hitler too if only Hitler was still alive.

That was the deal today as Nazi killer Brad Carlton, after telling his wife it's too risky resuming the search for the impossible to find reliquary, told Victor that whatever is inside the reliquary was worth killing for. Worried that his family is in danger too so long as the reliquary remains in limbo, Victor said he plans to go out into the marketplace pretending to be art buyers. Surely, someone will come forward with the reliquary and this, should it happen, won't make the Nazis all the more determined to get it from them and thus put them all in danger because, well, they already fear the unknown.

Knowing better than to poke at the hornet's nest again, Brad was convinced by his wife to reconsider and said he would following a discussion with his mother, Rebecca Kaplan, and his daughter, Colleen Carlton. Suggesting that his family go into hiding again was met with stiff resistance. Rebecca bitched that she's spent the better part of his life hiding from Nazis and she's not about to go underground again now that she's been free for several months. But when Brad and his wife started yapping about the art pieces they obtained this past summer, and how they can use them to create a replica of the original reliquary, Rebecca perked up saying she knows who had the two pieces to begin with and so it would seem, on the surface anyway, that Rebecca and all concerned are willing to do what must be done for they must save the world - or something?

The good part, if there is one, is that little Abby and her mother won't be part of the risk. After all, what Nazi worth his salt would think to hunt down members of an entire family in danger in Hong Kong? What woman, such that Ashley is, would call her brother a rotten son of a bitch and just before her plane leaves give him a hug good-bye after arguing with Jack Abbott about self-respect and how she's not sure Jack will ever get his back?

What a bitch Ashley is that she would tell Jack she's leaving his niece with Brad, and for how rotten Jack is, for the second time not be able to tell Victor that truth about the ownership of Jabot Cosmetics or that Victor would say that when Ashley returns to Genoa City all her problems will be solved. What problems these people always have are ever solved and when did going away solve them?

Funny thing too was the fact that Ashley, as President of Jabot and the company's chief skunk oil sniffer, didn't give notice? CEO Jill Abbott was slightly pissed until she remembered she's got a stolen son to find and said she doesn't give a rip about Jabot. I'm sure the stockholders would have been happy to hear that. Then again, the way this firm operates Jill could always re-hire Kevin Fisher, or name Gloria Abbott to replace her given Gloria's propensity for cooking up killer skin cream products.

But the kicker was that for all Brad's claiming to love Abby like his own daughter, it was he who suggested Ashley take Abby with her knowing Ashley's stay in Hong Kong is going to be so long even Ashley doesn't know if, or when, she'll might return. And that slut, Victoria Carlton, had the audacity to say that Abby would enjoy seeing the dragons dance. Like Abby's dropping out of school, leaving her friends and family behind, her treasured horse, and all because there's no Chinatown in Genoa City.
