| Chapter Twelve � �The Robot-simple pleasures� Luke looked up as the door suddenly opened up. Laura and the others had come back from their little shopping trip. He was about to asked how everything went, but from the look on her face. He could tell not as she planed. �Boy�s take your things upstairs,� said Anna. �I�m tired. Ladies it�s time for a nap. Would one of you start dinner?� she asked. Laura said she would and told Alexis to check on Lucky and Nikolas. She really meant Lucky. She hoped this trip wasn�t too much for him. Sitting in a chair next to Luke, Laura barred her head in his chest. �Luke. Nothing went the way I hoped it would today.� �What happened?� he asked a little concerned. �Nothing major and that�s the problem. We spent all afternoon shopping for cloths and Lucky had trouble picking anything out. Lake and Nik finally helped him pick some things out. Lake did just to get the day over with. The only thing I know Lucky really likes is chocolate,� she said getting up to start dinner. �Hay. He told you.� Luke said. �No. Not by words any way. Lake had wanted some ice cream. So we stopped half way through shopping. Nik had ordered two things. I was about to ask if he was that hungry. When I looked around for Lucky at the counter and saw that he was sitting at one of the tables. You should have seen his eyes light up when that Sunday was place in front of him. There were three kinds of chocolate ice creams covered with all chocolate syrup. Lucky almost inhaled it,� she said. �So, he only still speaks when spoken to?� asked Luke. �Afraid so darling. Lucky might have said ten words all day,� she said. Laura went into the kitchen to start dinner. Luke decided to hunt out Stefan. He wanted answers and this time he is getting them. Luke found Stefan in his room talking to Alexis and Nik. �Just the group, I wanted to talk to.� Luke said walking into the room and closing the door behind him. Stefan looked up at him with a small sign of fear in his eyes. �What do you want, Spencer?� he asked. �The truth.� Luke answered. �What happened on that $%$#% island to put Lucky in the state he is in.� Stefan motioned to Alexis and Nikolas to leave him alone to talk. They both got up leaving him alone with Luke. Stefan just sat there for a long moment wondering where to start. Luke waited. He decided if this was going to take all night. Then all night it is. �I�ll start with the rules. Lucas never was allowed to do anything that wasn�t approved of first. His whole life has revolved around Nikolas. There were only a few times during the day that he had to his own. The rest of the time, he was with Nikolas. Lucas was never allowed to win any game or out think him, but in the same respect, he was never allowed to be too far behind either. He studied what Nikolas wanted and played what he wanted. Any failure to do so, my brother beat him.� Suddenly, Stefan words were choked off. Luke had jumped and clamped his hands around his throat. Lucky for him Robert came in just then to check on them. �Luke! Stop!� said Robert pulling Luke to his feet. �What�s going on? I come in here to say dinner is almost ready and you are trying to kill him. I know you hate Cassadines but think about what Lucky would have done. If he was the one who walked in.� �Most probably nothing.� said Luke. �That kid of mine wasn�t allowed to do anything that the Cassadine kid didn�t approve of first.� he snarled. �I�m going out. Tell Laura I�ll be back later and Rob, stay put. I need some time alone.� Robert stood aside to let him leave and then turned to Stefan. �What did you tell him?� he asked. �I told him what Lucas�s propose on the island was. Luke did not take it to well.� answered Stefan. �YOU WHAT?� snapped Robert. �Alone. Cassadine, you really must have a death wish. Neither Luke nor Laura had read that notebook all the way through. They are avoiding asking anything. When Luke does find out. If I were you I�d find a deep hole and crawl in it and make sure you close it up behind yea.� Luke had spent the last two hours walking around Port Charles, trying to think of ways to get Lucky to open up. When he found himself standing in front of a nightclub called Sonny�s. He thought how nice it would have been to own a club. He almost could see his name in neon. Luke walked in and asked the bartender for a large glass of the hard stuff. When a voice suddenly called out his name. �Luke. How it going?� asked Jason. �Jason Morgan. Right?� Luke said turning toward the caller. �Yes, Carly�s husband. Bobby still trying to get a party for you and your family together.� he said. �Bobby is trying but I�m not too sure Lucky can handle all those people at once.� he said asking for another drink. �He�s still jumping at every little sound?� asked Jason sitting beside Luke. �No but he doesn't speak much and still waits for something to reach out and grab him. I could not stand to watch him any longer. So, I went for a walk. Ended up here. Do you own this place?� Luke asked. �No. I only look after things. Sonny Corinthos owns it,� said Jason. �The Sonny Corinthos. Robert told me all about him.� said Luke. �I bet our dear Police Commissioner had a lot to say about me,� came a voice from the other end of the bar. Jason introduced the two men. �So your the great Luke Spencer. I heard a lot about you,� said Sonny. �I bet. Corinthos don�t believe everything you hear and only half of what you see. If I was that great this world would not have so many Cassadines in them.� Luke said shaking Sonny�s hand. �Don�t worry we all make mistakes. The only thing that matters is you learn from them.� Sonny said. �Yeah. I have.� answered Luke. �I was wondering if you could tell me anything about the Smith family. Robert said that Frank died in prison, but what about his daughter and son.� �Poor Frank. He fell in the shower and broke his neck.� smiled Sonny slyly. �As for Demon and the his sister. She is in Vegas and most probably will die there. Demon got all Daddy�s money but could not hold on to it. He and his lady friend Katherine Bell left town about a year ago. They won�t be bothering you anytime soon. A Spencer? If you need help with those Cassadines, let me know. I hate men who beat on kids. It would be my pleasure taking him down.� Sonny said getting up off the barstool. �I have some work to do. Jason, meet you later at the penthouse?� Sonny walked back into the office. He could almost here Deke his step father yell at him. �I wonder what your demons sound like kid. I hope you handle them better then I ever did,� thought Sonny. �Nice to see you again Jason, but I better head back. Laura is going to lynch me the way it is. Give your family my best and kid. Don�t let any one come between you and them.� Luke said walking out the door. Chapter 13 Back to Lucky's Hell |
