| Chapter Twenty One Robert's information was correct and Lucky got a little better when they gave him the pills but Victor wasn't talking and no one could find Helena or Stavros. Luke was talking to Mac when Nikolas walked up to him and asked, �Where is Lance?� �I don't care right now. It is Lucky who is in danger not him,� Luke said, a little snappy at him. �No. Lucky might really be in danger. Lance is a fake and not a kid from the system. Lizzie just told me Lance was coming on to her before the wedding and talking in French with Victor locked up, Lance might decide to just get rid of Lucky,� Nikolas said to the men. Luke didn't answer, he just rush to Lucky's room to check on his son. He burst into the room and found Lance holding a pillow over Lucky's face. Lucky was about to give up, when he suddenly could breath again. �You little bastard. I was a fool to trust you, but not any more. Who the hell are you?� Luke yelled. �I�m Victor son. Your son is going to be dead before night fall and I�m going to be the heir of the Cassadine family.� Lance said with not a doubt in his mind. �I'm going to show your dear father what it is like to watch his son die,� Luke said and he dragged Lance out of the room. Alexis and Laura hurried into the room to check on Lucky. They didn�t have any idea what was going on. Nik told them what he knew about Lance but suddenly forgot all about him when Nik notice that Lucky wasn�t moving. He tried to shake him awake but Lucky didn�t move. Alexis ran out to get the doctor. She couldn�t believe things could get any worse. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dr. Lambert was checking Lucky�s pulse. He had slipped into a coma and was slowly slipping from them. She looked at Bobbie Spencer and said. �He isn�t going make it. We don�t have any idea what those pills consist of and we aren�t going to have the time to find out. The only chance Lucky has right now is if Luke gets Mr. Cassadine to talk.� she said looking sadly down at Lucky. The two women walked out of Lucky�s room and Eve left telling Lucky�s mothers� the bad news to Bobbie. Bobbie went over to Alexis and Laura who were sitting down on a couch holding each other for support. She got to her knees and faced them. �It�s not good. He isn�t going to make it Luke doesn�t come through,� she said fighting the tears but failed. All them just held on to each other and cried. Nikolas slammed his fist into the wall. He could believe after all the fighting between them, he and Lucky weren�t going have a chance to brothers. He noticed Lizzie standing alone in the corner of the room and went over to comfort her. She stood there shaking and crying all most out of control. She had so much to tell Lucky and she might not get the chance now. She held on to Nikolas with all her might. The teens stood and cried, praying for Luke to come through and save Lucky. The rest of the people in the room each started to say their own prayers. Lucky was too young to die just yet. Ned walked over to Alexis and said. �He will make. He has to much of you give up now,� he said pulling her in his arms. Jason and Sonny both felt helpless. How do you stop a killer when he is in the body of the person you love? They knew how to fight men but not something like this. Robin pulled them close to her and started to cry. They held each other and hoped Luke had a plan. Lila Quartermaine grabbed Edward�s hand and notice he was crying as well. �He will make it because he has to.� she told him. �I wish I had you confidence because right now. I don�t think even Luke can save him.� Edward said and bent down to hold his wife. Monica held Emily who was crying beside her. �Mom. Can�t you save him?� she asked. �I don�t how Em. There are some things that I just can�t do. We need the antidote and only Luke can get it. Let�s just hope Lucky can hold on until then.� she said holding her closer. Everyone gathered in big circle and started to pry. It didn�t matter any more on what they did for a living or who hated who. The only thing that counted was a fifteen-year-old boy who was fighting for his life and needed a miracle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Luke shoved Lance into the hallway outside Victor's holding cell. Victor looked up and saw his son being shoved around by Spencer. He reached out thought the bars and demanded, �Leave him alone. He is just fifteen and has nothing to do with us.� �You are such a hypocrite. Lucky is the same age but you have been using him to get to me. You wanted me to suffer and watch my son die. So, Cassadine, I'm returning the favor,� Luke said and forced Lance to open his mouth and swallow some pills. �Don't, they will kill him,� Victor said, trying to stop Luke. He watched Lance fall to his knees and start choking. He looked at Luke with complete hatred. �What did he ever do to you?� �The same thing Lucky did to you.� Luke said coldly. �You took my son. I'm taking yours,� Luke then shoved Lance out of the room. �Give me the antidote, or your little brat joins Lucky in death. When that happens I�m coming for you Victor and I will rip you apart. I won�t give a damn about myself anymore. Lucky is the only thing that matters to me. You want to save your son. You have to save mine first.� Luke left the room and waited for some sound from Victor. He was leaning against the door looking as the seconds tick by. It didn't take long before Victor yelled out. Luke walked back in and asked, �Have you made up your mind?� �Yes, the antidote is in the black queen on the chest board, back at the house. Lucky must have it before five or nothing will save him. I just want your promise that Lance gets it afterwards. He was only involved because I didn't want to leave him alone with the servants. I figured hiding him with your wife would keep him safe,� Victor pleaded with Luke. Luke smiled and popped something in his mouth. Victor realized right then that he had been taken. �Want a breath mint?� Luke asked, him holding out a little table. Not hiding the evil smile on his face. �You, bastard. You lied to me?� Victor said reaching for Luke. �I'm still going to kill you but in my own time. I might just let you rot in prison for a while,� Luke said then quickly ran out of the room. He had one hour to get the antidote to Lucky before it was too late. Chapter 22 Back to What's the Truth? |
