Chapter Seventeen.

Luke walked into the Clerk's office and asked to see his wedding license. He
read it and compared it with the copy from the Cassadines and with the one that
Laura and he had. He realized the changes were very obvious. �I knew it. They
have been playing games, but with Stavros alive are him and Laura really
married?� Luke thought to himself. Luke suddenly got an idea and went to find
Sonny. He didn't have much time. The longer this took, the more danger Lucky was
in and if everything worked out as he hopped. The Cassadines were going to take
a fall.

The trip from the airport was long and frustrating. Victor hadn�t let up and to
Lucky he seemed to get worse. Lucky was pushed into the room that Victor set up
for him. He looked around the room and he wanted to scream. The room was large
and decorated with expensive furniture, but all Lucky wanted was his plain old
room. He was tired of being pushed and shoved by Victor. He was also just plain
tired and didn't feel like eating anything. He noticed the phone by the bed and
picked up the receiver. He was glad to hear a dial tone and called Lizzie's
house. He wanted to here a friendly voice.

Lizzie answered the phone. �Hello.� Her voice picked up his spirits a great
deal. He smiled for the first time in days.

�Lizzie, Its me, Lucky,� he said, sitting down on the large four poster bed. He
realized how much he missed her and wanted to be with her at this very moment.
His eyes started to water at that thought.

�Lucky? Where are you and are you all right?� she asked, relieved to hear his
voice, but instantly knowing that something wasn't right. He didn�t sound like
himself. Something told her, he was really in a lot of danger.

�I'm all right. I'm back in Port Charles, on Spoon Island. Everything is messed
up, Liz and I'm worried that Dad isn't going to get us out of this one. I wanted
to call and tell you whatever you hear, I'm all right and I'm thinking of you,�
he said. He was about to say more when Victor walked into the room and pulled
the phone out of his hands. Lucky looked at him with hate filled eyes as he hung
up the phone.

Victor looked at him and said, �Time for your lessons. Besides she isn't in your
social class any more. You are not to ever speak to her again.�

�You can't tell me who to see and who not to see. Lizzie is my best friend. I'm
going to talk to her if I want to,� Lucky told him, getting up off the bed.

Victor slapped him hard enough to send him flying back onto the bed. �I told you
never talk back to me like that again. You will speak to the people I deem all
right and no one else. Do you understand me?� Victor said, pulling Lucky off the
bed. He was daring Lucky to talk back, but what he did surprised Victor.

�Yes, Uncle Victor,� Lucky replied, in a defeated tone of voice. �I'm sorry for
mouthing off.�

�Good, you're learning. Now, get moving. You have a lot of work to catch up on,�
Victor said, shoving him forward.

Lucky was defeated. He didn't have any fight left in him and didn't see how his
father was going to get them out of this mess. He realized his life that he
loved was over. The only think Lucky had left was the fact his father would soon
arrive and maybe run interference between him and Victor. The thought of going
home let was just a dream any more.

Lizzie looked at the phone and didn't like it. She knew Lucky wouldn�t cut her
off with out saying any good byes and why was he one Spoon Island. The last
thing she heard was that Lucky and Nikolas were kidnapped. She quickly dialed
Lucky's house and Nikolas answered the phone. �Spencers?� he said.

�Nik. What are doing there? I just got a call from Lucky and got cut off. He
said he was with the Cassadines. What is going on?� she demanded. Lizzie was
very confused and wanted some answers.

�He called you? Well, at least we know he is all right but I don't know for how
long.� Nikolas said, and started to tell her everything.

Lizzie couldn't believe what she heard. �Luke is going to marry Alexis and
change his name? How is that going to help get Lucky away from the Cassadines?�
she asked getting more worried by the second.

�I don't know but it will keep Luke alive long enough to think of something.
Otherwise, we would all still be living at the other compound and the others
would be dead,� he said.

�Can I come over. I think you and I can try to find away to see Lucky. He is
going to need a friend and you at least know the layout of the house,� Lizzie
asked him deciding that she would go with or without him. Lucky was her friend
and he needs help. It was her turn to come to his rescue!

�Come over. I might have a way to get on the island unnoticed,� Nikolas said.
After hanging up Nikolas walked into the Spencer living room and got out a map
of Port Charles. He started looking for any why on Spoon Island without being
seen.

Nikolas didn't realize that he was being overheard by Lance. Lance had an odd
smile on his face. He walked back down the hall and headed into Lucky's room. He
looked around and wondered how Lucky was doing with Victor. �Probably not too
good,� he thought, and he smiled even more. Lance picked up the phone and called
a number. �You are going to have visitors soon, but not Spencer just some of
Lucas friends.� Lance said when Victor answered to phone.

�Good boy. Keep an eye on everyone and tell me what they are up to.� Victor said
and hung up the phone. He was ready for the visitors and couldn�t wait to see
how Lucky reacted.
