Chapter Twenty Two � �Robert and Luke plan the next move�

�You�re not going to like this part, but I been thinking about planting a
suggestion into Lucky. Just to make sure he doesn't go through with shooting you
or Michael. I don�t think the kid could live with himself.� Robert said.

�Are you crazy!� Luke shouted. �You want to make his mind worse.�

�No. I�m going to try to save him. I need you to get a letter to Anna. Luke,
both of us have been trained to help with mind control victims. The WSB has one
of the best facilities in the world in that area. When Lake and Lucky leave
here, I want Anna to take Lucky to them. Before that, I want a back up in his
mind to stop any more damage. Only you and I will know the word to set him
free.� Robert said looking at his friend.

�Ok. Robert, I�m placing Lucky in your hands. Don�t let me down. The kid's been
through enough because of me. I don�t want anything else to go wrong.� Luke said
getting up to get another drink.

�I won�t and that is a promise. Lucky means a lot to me too.� Robert said.

�What�s the next part of your plan?� Luke asked him.

�I want to know everything that happened to Lucky on the island and the events
of Michael�s past. I think Lucky is the only one who can tell us. The secret to
our future is in that past and it is up to us to get the answers. We just have
to be careful. Say the wrong thing and Lucky might do something worse then sing
a song.� Robert said.

�I agree. Robert, 'one two Michael�s through. Three four, Luke for sure'. I know
what those words mean but what does 'five six Lucky�s fixed and seven eight
Spencer�s gate' mean?� Luke asked.

�I think 'five six Lucky�s fixed' meaning comes from the after affects of
killing you, but seven eight Spencer�s gate has got me.� Robert said.

�Did you ever really look at Lucky�s painting?� Luke asked.

�No, the thing gives me the creeps.� Robert answered. �Why?�

�He told me that the only way he really could express himself was through his
art. I think he is trying to tell us something. I just don�t know what.� Luke
said.

�Well, it is about time we started to listen to his cries for help.� Robert said
getting up and heading toward Lucky�s room.

Lake was standing behind Lucky, looking strangely at the painting. Luke and
Robert entered, wondering what he was doing. �Lake, what�s wrong?� Robert asked
him.

�This painting! Dad look at the gate in the background it is all red and dark. I
think there might be hands reaching out through the bars and in front of the
gate are two figures. One is beginning to look like Michael and the one in front
of them is holding something out at them and if you look hard enough the figure
has strings tied to it. The four figures in the background are holding the
strings and if you look about all Nikolas� medallion is spinning around. Each
corner has something in it a clock or calendar.� Lake told them pointing
everything out.

�Lake. You�re a genius.� Luke said slapping the kid on the back.

�What did do?� Lake asked him.

�You just answered some of our questions.� Robert said to his son and turned to
Luke. �All right, if this is Spencer�s gate. What does it stand for?�

�I know.� Luke said with a cold stare. �Spencer�s gate is the gates of hell.
Helena�s sick joke on where she wants to send me.� Luke said.

�The only thing I don�t understand is the four figures. Stavros, Helena, and
Andrew but who is the fourth?� Robert asked.

�That could only be �they�.� Luke said. �I�m going to find out who �they� is,
even if it kills me.�

�Mate, be careful what you say because that is what the Cassadines want.� said
Robert.

Luke looked down at his son and said. �Keep going, Cowboy. I�m beginning to
listen to you now.�
