Chapter 11 Lucky got sick of sitting and waiting. He got up and moved toward the door where the two guards from the prison stood. At first, Lucky tried to look into the window at his father but he saw nothing. �Sorry, kid,� one guard said pulling Lucky way from the door. Lucky stood there glaring at the guard with ice cold eyes. Then suddenly the doors swung open and two nurses walked past. The guards watched the ladies and not Lucky. So, Lucky slipped by them making his way into the room with ease. �Suckers,� Lucky thought as the doors closed behind him. When the door was closed, Lucky moved closer to where everyone moved around table. Alex was working on putting stitches in Luke�s side and he laid wide wake while it was going on. Luke noticed Lucky and could out on impulse. �Cowboy?� Alex looked up and Bobbie turned her head. �You shouldn�t be here,� Bobbie told him. �I�m not going anywhere,� Lucky said not looking at the ladies but looking at his father. Luke gave Lucky a roguish smile and winked at his son. Lucky relaxed a great deal because this told him that Luke would be all right. Alex didn�t have time to fight with Lucky. So, she just said, �Stay out of the way.� Lucky nodded and he stood out of the way. After Alex was done, she pulled off her gloves and looked at Lucky. �Ok, you can come forward now but you stay put,� Alex said warning Luke. �No problem,� Luke said. He wondered what she thought he was going to do. Run a marathon? Lucky smiled at Alex as she passed him and moved towards his father. �Could you not do this to me again?� Lucky asked as he stood beside Luke. �I don�t plan on it. How you doing?� Luke asked noticing how tired his son looked. �I�d be better if you were out of prison but I know that isn�t happen over night,� Lucky said sadly. �No, but it will happen,� Luke promised and he ran his hand over Lucky�s cheek. Lucky grew up on him but Luke could see this past year and half haven�t been the ease on the kid either. �What do you think of Mikkos and Victor?� �I like them better then Stefan,� Lucky admitted. �That isn�t saying much,� Luke said. He knew Lucky hated Stefan and he didn�t like the guy much himself. Luke blamed Stefan for all of his and Laura�s problems. The only good thing Stefan did was save Lu�s life by bring Nikolas into town and that was it at least that is how Luke was seeing all of this. �No, it isn�t,� Lucky laughed remembering how much fun he had cutting up all of Stefan�s clothes. �What?� Luke asked noticing that look in Lucky�s eyes. �I had fit or that is how mom and the others see it,� Lucky said giggling. �What did you do?� Luke asked. The last time Lucky had a fit. Lucky had cut Stefan�s tires and dumped water on the guy�s head. �Well, last night I broke an entire set of dishes that according to Stefan were over a hundred years old and on my way out I broke some fancy eggs that they had display. Then today, I cut up everything Stefan owned and made rags out of them,� Lucky said grinning. Luke grabbed his side in pain as he laughed. �Don�t do this to me now,� Luke begged Lucky. �Sorry, you asked,� Lucky said grinning. �I did. How did the Cassadine react to this?� Luke asked worried that Lucky�s stunt might have gotten him hurt. He heard horror stories from Laura and hated to see his son live through the same thing. �Mikkos didn�t react to much. He gave me book to read and report on it. Stefan tried to rip my ear off dragging me up the steps to clean the mess up,� Lucky said. �He did did he?� Luke asked his eyes growing cold. �Don�t worry. Mikkos stopped him and I didn�t have to clean the mess up either,� Lucky said smiling. �Mikkos?� Luke muttered wondering what the old man was up to acting this way. �What your mother say?� �She got mad. I have pay Stefan back for the stuff I destroyed out my share of the club,� Lucky said in a regretful tone of voice. Luke knew he was being played but he also didn�t like his money going to Stefan. So, Lucky won this one real fast. �I�ll talk to her,� Luke promised. �Thanks,� Lucky said grinning brightly. Luke found it hard to keep his eyes open. So, he looked at his son and said, �Tell me later what set you off,� Luke said and he closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. Lucky watched him drift off. He then got up and went to find the others. Now that he knew Luke would be ok, Lucky started to relax a great deal. It also felt better talking a bit with his father without having a piece of glass between them. *************************************** After hearing the news about Luke from Alex, Mikkos and Victor stood outside the hospital talking. �The report came in about Damion right before your call did. I want you to go meet our man in New York. I want Damian Smith brought in tonight,� Mikkos ordered. �You got it,� Victor said and without saying good bye to his wife or family. Victor just headed toward the car and left. Robert was listening to the men talk and the moment Mikkos went inside. Robert headed to catch up with Victor. No way was he going to let Victor bring in Damion alone. Even if he did trust Victor, he didn�t but that was beside the point. Robert had spent a lot of time looking for Damion over the years and Robert wanted to be around when he was finally brought down. So, Robert rushed off to his car to keep up with Victor. *************************************** Victor met their man just outside this run down boarding house in the middle of Brooklyn, New York. �About time you showed up,� the man said as Victor stepped out of the car. �Don�t like neighborhood?� Victor asked. �No, I don�t. So, lets get this over with,� the man said. The two men walked toward the door when Robert suddenly apologized along side the building. �You going after Damion without me?� Robert asked Victor. �Wouldn�t dream of it,� Victor said. He wondered where Robert was. He had to slow down just a bit to make sure the ex-WSB agent caught up with him. Robert gave Victor a cold smile and together they walked in the boarding house with Victor�s man behind them. Upstairs just outside Damion�s room the men stood leaning against the door. �You going in first?� Victor asked Robert. Robert thought it could be a trap but then again. If Damion was on the other side of this door, Robert wanted him first. So, Robert looked at the other two men and then he stepped forward and kicked the door in. Damion Smith sat up in bed took one look at Robert and bolted for the window. Robert tackled Damion and the two men went rolling on the floor. �You�re not going anywhere,� Robert yelled dragging Damion to his feet. �Needed help?� Damion asked pointing to Victor and the other man. �I don�t care how you were found as long as I got you,� Robert snapped. He wanted to rip Damion a part but he needed the creep a live to get Luke out. So, he was the guy kept on breathing for now. �It took you awhile. What Luke not enjoying his stay up river?� Damion asked. �Your going to find out what is like because you are going there,� Robert said as he shoved Damion toward the door. �Aren�t you going to let me get dressed?� Damion asked. He only had on silk pajama bottoms and a t-shirt. �Sure why not. I bet the men at jail cell in Port Charles will really love you,� Robert said grinning as he pulled Damion toward the door. �You are going to pay for this,� Damion said as he was pulled out of the room. �All of you!� ************************************* Six o�clock that next morning, Robert and Victor arrived in Port Charles with Damion in tow. Robert had called Dara and Mac telling them both to be at the station that morning. Victor called Alexis and had her be there was well. Damion wasn�t happy when he was pulled into the station that morning. �Get off me,� Damion yelled as Robert shoved him throw the swing gate. �Damion!� Dara said shocked to see the dead man standing in front of her. �You found him,� Mac said smiling at his brother. �I didn�t,� Robert said looking at Victor. Victor at Robert and looked at Alexis. �They are all yours,� He said. �Thanks,� Alexis said and she walked to Dara. �I hope you keep him longer then you did Helena.� Dara didn�t comment. She just looked at Mac and said, �I think we have a problem.� �You think?� Alexis said crossing her arms. �You have problem because I have several lawsuits lined up at this very moment. False imprisonment is one of them.� �I know what we did. Now, give us time to clean it up,� Dara said to Alexis in a cold tone of voice. �You had a lot of time. I want it done now,� Alexis said crossing her arms and looked at Dara coldly. �Why is the Cassadine mouth piece working on this anyway?� Taggert asked. Alexis looked at Victor. She didn�t know what the family was going about this. Victor looked at her. Took steps forward and said to Taggert with no emotion on his face at all. �Luke is my nephew and I think it is tragedy that he was imprisoned for this crime. It is clear to me that the PCDP can�t even solve mirror crimes. If we would known that Helena would have been turned over to another authority that could have put her way not let her go like you had.� Mac�s jaw dropped open and he looked at his brother to see if this was a joke but from the look he got from told him that this was no joke. �You�re kidding right?� Taggert asked. Victor just laughed and walked out without even looking at the others in the room once. Alexis looked at Taggert and said, �Cassadine don�t joke. Now, I want my client cleared and I want it now.� Dara just looked at Alexis then went to find out what to do about all of this. Mac had Taggert take Damion down to the holding cell. Then Robert and Mac went to Mac�s office to talk about the bit of news that Victor had just dropped on them. Chapter 12 Back to A Father's Love |
