Chapter Six � �Deep Trouble�

Luke awoke with a splitting head hurt and his wrist itched. He reached over to
find a metal bracelet and when he tried to removed it. Found it was stuck and no
matter what he did. It didn�t come off. Suddenly, Luke realized Lucky wasn�t
beside him. The room he laid in was well decorated. Everything looked new and
very expensive. Luke walked around the room opening all the doors. The last door
he opened he found a room just like his and lying on the bed was Lucky. He raced
over and tried to wake his son.

*****

�Robert any word on Luke and Lucky?� Anna asked as she entered his office.

�No. I still haven�t found out how they got them out of town. Anna it�s been
three days. Its like they fell off the face of the earth.� Robert said placing
his head on the desk. He hadn�t slept since the night of the attack.

�Robert come on lets get you to bed. You are not going to do Luke any good
falling down dead from lack of sleep.� she said pulling him to his feet.

�Lucky. Come on kid wake up.� Luke said. He had been gently shaking his son.
Slowly Lucky started to move.

�Dad. Leave me alone. You go to the club without me. I�ll catch up with you
later.� he sleepily said rolling over on his side.

�Cowboy. We are not at home.� Luke said shaking him a little harder.

Lucky sat up with a start. The memory of the attack hit him. �Where are we?� he
asked.

�I don�t care. We are getting out of here.� Luke said looking around Lucky�s
room. While Luke tired to find a way out. Lucky was trying to figure out what
was on his wrist. He had the same this on his wrist as Luke.

�Dad. What are these?� Lucky asked walking down the hall. He also noticed
strange lights located every few feet. Just as they turned the corner. The
lights suddenly changed to red and a sharp pain past threw them. Luke and Lucky
hit the ground in pain. It was like they were being hit by some kind of electric
shock. Every nerve in their bodies cried out in pain.

�Hello. Going some where?� asked a voice.

Even threw the pain, Luke saw the man come near them and did not believe his
eyes. Standing there in front of him was an exact copy of himself. The figure
was just a little older but still. He could see the likeness.

�What do you want?� Luke asked.

�I just want the chance to get to know my son and grandson.� Michael said. �Take
them back to their rooms. I�ll see to them later.�

Luke and Lucky were pulled from the floor and dragged back to the rooms. The
pain stopped only after they entered the room. �If you like pain. Try that
again, but if you don�t. I would stay put.� the guards laughed and left them
alone.

It had taken awhile for them to finally able to get to their feet. �What
happened?� asked Lucky.

�I think these had a lot to do with that,� said Luke holding up his wrist. �We
going to have to play along, but only long enough to find out what is going on.�

�Don�t worry son. Everything will come clear soon enough. You will soon learn to
like you new home.� Michael said leaning back in his chair. On the monitors that
lined the room were the rooms Luke and Lucky were given. Michael was thinking
how much fun this game was going to get.

Andrew stood outside the door watching. �Laugh now old friend because in the
end. I�m going to have the last laugh.� He made another call. �They have
arrived. I�ll keep you apprised of the kids progress.� Hanging up Andrew smiled
a very evil smile. �If only you would have turned everything over to me. Then
none of this would have happened.�

Luke had looked all around the rooms they were given. The only place free of
bugs and cameras was the bathroom. Lucky was standing in front of a very strange
painting. Luke thought it was something out of someone's nightmare. �Hey, Cowboy
are you ok?� he asked walking up besides his son.

�Dad this isn�t right. This painting is signed by me but I never painted it.�
Lucky said pointing to the signature in the corner.

�Are you sure. You said you did a lot of painting on the island maybe you just
forgot about all of them.� He asked.

�I guess, but something about this painting gives me the creeps. I just can�t
put my finger on it.� Lucky said.

They sat and talked about their situation. When the big screen TV turned on.
Michael Cassadine�s face came into view. �I hope you like your new home and
Lucky. I�ll have my men remove that painting for you. Helena had told me it was
your favorite. She must have lied. I hope it didn�t upset you too much. Dinner
is in an hour. I think it is time for you to get ready. I suggest the white
dinner attire for this evening.� and with that anther word. He was gone.

�If he thinks, I am going to do what he wants. Then he has another thing
coming.� Luke walked to the closet and pulled out two black suits. �Here put
this on and don�t worry. I�ll take the heat for anything that comes from this.�

As they entered the dinning hall, Luke could have screamed. Michael was standing
by the table wearing the same suit. �Those cameras have got to go.� Luke thought
to himself.

�Good evening. I hope your both hungry. I had to cooks prepare something special
for our first supper together as a family. Sit.� he said.

Luke had put himself between Michael and Lucky. He was going to keep them apart
as much as possible. �What do you want from us old man.� Luke asked leaning
forward.

�I thought it was time we got to know each other. Ruby had kept us apart for far
to long.� Michael said.

�You don�t have the right to even think about her you Bastard. It is because of
you she�s dead.� Luke had leaped to his feet. He was just about a few steps away
from Michael. When the pain suddenly hit him. Luke fell to his knees trying to
shake off the pain.

�Your going to learn some respect or this is going to became very familiar,�
said Michael.

Lucky was going to help his father but Luke motioned him to stay put. �You�re
not going to control me. Some how old man, you will pay for all those death�s.�
Luke said threw the pain.

Michael just smiled and turned up the power. Luke tried not to scream but it was
useless. He whole body was attacking him from the inside. �Have you had enough
or should we go up to the next level.� asked Michael.

All Luke could do was nod. When the pain suddenly stop, Lucky had to help him to
his feet. Every nerve in his body went numb. Michael just smiled and said. �Now
we understand each other. Let�s eat and after dinner we will talk about the
house rules.�
