Chapter 15
Jason’s penthouse

Jason sat at the table with all the E-mail spread around him in order.  He had tried to get online and find the web pages but he was clueless when it came to the internet.  He would have to weight until Robin got back from the store, she knew more about that then he did.  There was something about the messages that bothered him.  Why did they stop all of a sudden?  And what made the person start up all of a sudden again?  Something just didn’t add up.  There was something about the name Aneleh Cass that struck him as odd but he couldn’t quiet think of it.

Jason put the papers back onto the table and walked over to the window.  He looked out over the docks and watched the work crew rebuild the public arias.  Just a few weeks ago the Quartermaines had given into his requests and had changed their building plans.

Robin entered the penthouse and saw Jason looking out the window.  She recognized the look on his face, he was thinking about something important.  She fiddled with her scarf as she walked over to him.  Was this the right time to tell him her suspicions or should she weight till she knew for sure.  If she told him and she turned out to be wrong Jason would be devastated.  It would be like when he lost Michele all over again.  Carly walked out the door with Michele and was never heard of again.  Jason had searched for her for months.  Michele may not have been his real son but he had raised him as his own.

But then again if she didn’t tell him and she was right he would think that she was leaving him out and he would feel hurt.  ‘Oh boy, this is going to be fun.’ Robin thought to herself.

“Hey Jas.” She said softly.

Jason turned around and smiled.  “Your back, what did you do all day?”  Jason asked glad for a distraction.

“I was just out walking around.  I guess you could say I was on a death tour.”

“A death tour?”  Jason asked not understanding.

“I went and visited Brenda’s grave, my parents’, Lilly’s, and Stone’s.  I don’t know why but no matter where I started to go I always ended up at someone’s grave.”  Robin said with a shrug.

“What did you do there?”

“I was just talking to them,” Jason looked at her funny.  “Yes I was talking to their graves, so don’t look at me like that.  It always makes me feel better if I can talk to them when I have a big decision to make.  I guess it’s because that’s the closest I to talking strait to them.”

“I’ve never understood that.  Why do people talk to someone who is dead?  They can’t hear you.”

“Well you don’t know that.  Who knows, they just might be able to hear us when we talk to them.  Look at it this way, remember when you were taking those Catholic classes after you had Michele baptized?  They taught you how to pray, that was a way to talk to God.  I figure, if he can hear you so can everyone one else.”

“Oh, okay,” Jason paused for a minute thinking.  “You said you only go to them when you have a big decision, what is it?”

Robin smiled at him shyly.  “Well I’m not positive but…” Robin searched for the words to tell him.  “I think I could be…” Robin looked down at her stomach and placed her hand on her abdomen.

It dawned on Jason what she was trying to say.  “Do you mean you’re pragnet?”

Robin smiled brightly in response.

Luke’s

Luke hung up the phone in his office and let out a frustrated sigh.  “What’s up?  Did that band cancel for tonight?”  Lucky asked from the doorway.

“No, I just got word from some of my contacts that someone is calling in favors in Helena’s name.  I don’t like this, not one bit.”  Luke said running his hand over his shortly cropped blond hair.

“Do you have any idea who might want to do that and why?”  Lucky asked interested.

“I have no clue.  Who in the world would think of calling debts owed to a dead woman?  And who in their right mind would go into debt to someone like her in the first place?”  Luke said to himself bewildered.

“Is there anything I can do?”

“Yah, keep an eye on the club for me.  I’m going to leave town for a few days to check this out.”

“Do you really think that’s necessary?”

“Yes, I’ve got a bad feeling about this one.”

“Do you know how long you’re going to be gone?”

“No, but I’ll call in every day and give you a report.  I’ll call at let’s say, five-thirty sharp every afternoon.  And if I don’t call I want you to do like in the old days.  Got that Cowboy?”

“No prob.”

The cottage

Erin pealed off her jacket and hung it up in the hall closet.  Her and Sonny had spent the whole day together talking.  She walked over to her answering machine.  She had three messages.  Erin hit the button to listen to them.

Beep

“Erin, this is V.  I just wanted to call and tell you everything is going okay.  I think Jax will be coming back to Port Charles in a few days.  The twins are just loving it here.  Well I gotta get going.  I’ll call you back later tonight.”

Beep

“Erin, it’s Robin.  Call me back as soon as you can.”

Beep

“I’m back in town, give me a call when you get this.”

The last message was Nikolas.  Erin smiled, it would be nice to have him back in town, so much had happened when he was gone.  Erin rested her hand on the phone trying to figure who to call first, Nik or Robin.

The phone made that decision for her.  The ring startled her enough to make her jump slightly.  “Hello?”

“Oh, I’m so glad I caught you, I’ve been trying to get in touch with you for hours.”  Robin said happily.

“I just got in.  So what’s so important that you forgot that I had a cell phone.”  Erin teased.

“Huh?”

“Never mind.  What is it that’s got you so excited?”

“Well it’s not really something that I want to tell you over the phone.  Do you mind if I come over?”

“No I don’t mind.”

“Good, I’ll be there in a little bit.”

“Okay, see you then.”  Robin hung up the phone with out even saying goodbye.  Erin smiled to herself wondering what it was that was making Robin act so air-brainish.  Erin dialed Nik’s number and weighted for him to pick up.

“Nikolas Cassadine.”

“Erin Brown.” She responded teasing him.

“Hey beautiful, where you been all day?  I’ve been trying to get in touch with you sense early this morning?”  Nik asked

“I was with Sonny.  You could of found that out easily if you had called Jason and asked him.”

“Guilty as charged.  I just wanted to see if you wanted me to come over.”

“Do you even have to ask?”

“Well I didn’t know if you still wanted me to stay there.”

“I think that’s a no brainer.  I love having you here every morning when I wake up,” Erin decided that this was as good as a time as ever.  “I’ve been a little on edge with out you here, a lot has happened sense you left.”

“Okay, it’s going to take me a few hours to get a few things settled here and then I’ll be over.  How’s that sound?”

“That sounds great to me, I’ll see you then.  I missed you.”

“I missed you more.”

“I don’t think that’s possible.”  Erin teased.

“I’ll prove it to you when I get there.”

“I’ll be looking forward to it.  I love you.”

“I love you too.  Bye.”

“Bye.”  Erin hung up the phone and smiled.  She hadn’t noticed how much she had missed him being around.
