Chapter 28 Lu wanted to play with Lucas more. So, Luke left her with Robin and headed off to the club. He figured it was time that he started to get back into running the place again since it was his club. Robin took Lu, Lucas, and BJ to Spoon Island at four. After Lucky introduced Zander to Robin, Lucas and BJ. Lucas and Lu wanted to play kickball. So, the group started up a game girls against the boys. Robin had asked Nikolas to join in but one cold look from Lucky dropped that idea fast. Nikolas decided to sit beside the pool and read a book. They kids played kicked ball along side the pool. Everyone was enjoying themselves and a nice rivalry even got started between the girls and the boys. Robin was rolling the ball towards Lucky and Lucky kicked it hitting it way over her head and sending it flying in the direction where Nikolas was sitting. BJ went after the ball and Lu jumped up for joy because a flying ball meant Lucky was out. Giving her another chance at being up. No one really noticed that the ball had bounced once then landed right on Nikolas lap. Nikolas grabbed the ball in frustration glared over at the group and noticed it was Lucky that had kicked it. He was laughing at the look on Lu�s face. Nikolas thought Lucky had done it on propose. So, he jumped to his feet and sent the kick ball flying in Lucky�s direction. The ball hit Lucky right on the back and turned around yelling, �What the hell!� Lucky looked at Nikolas and realized he had thrown it. �You creep. What�s your problem?� Lucky demanded. �You! You did that on purpose!� Nikolas yelled storming towards Lucky. The two boys sent insults at each other and then suddenly fists started to fly. Robin yelled at the two brothers trying to get them to stop. �Lucky! Nikolas! Cut it out!� Neither boy stopped and the fight went on. �Lucky! Nikolas!� Lu yelled crying at the sight of her brothers fighting. �Hit him in the gut!� BJ called out to Lucky. She didn�t like Nikolas and thought he was getting exactly what he deserved. Robin glared at BJ and said, �You�re not helping.� BJ just ignored her and went on cheering for Lucky. Mikkos, who had watched the kids play their kick ball game had had enough of Lucky and Nikolas. He walked over to where the gardener was watering some flowers and took the hoes from him. He then walked to where the boys were fighting and let them have it. Water hit Lucky and Nikolas in the face and all over their bodies. Lucky lifted his hand to protect his face from getting hit with water and yelled. �Cut it out!� Mikkos didn�t stop until he was sure both Lucky and Nikolas were done with their fighting. Finally, Mikkos turned off the water and handed it over to the gardener, who was standing there with a smile on his face at the two soaked wet boys. Mikkos then, walked to where they were sitting on the ground dripping wet grabbed each one by the neck and pulled them to their feet. �Ok, you two are coming with me!� Mikkos said oveously very angry. �He started it,� Nikolas yelled pointing to Lucky. �Me? You did it!� Lucky yelled back. Mikkos shook both of them and yelled, �Quit. I don�t care who started it. I have had it with the both of you. Zander entertain your guests. I have business with these two.� �Sure,� Zander said. He hadn�t seen Mikkos this mad in a very long time and was glad he wasn�t Lucky or Nikolas. Lu started to go towards her brothers but Zander stopped her. They just watched as Mikkos marched Lucky and Nikolas off towards the servant�s interest of the kitchen. Lucky and Nikolas both tried to get free but Mikkos wasn�t letting go. He kicked open the kitchen door and shoved them into the room. The staff jumped and watched in shocked amazement at the events that were unfolding in front of them. �Alright, you stand here and you stand here.� Mikkos said shoving Lucky and Nikolas facing one of the walls of the kitchen. �You can�t do this!� Lucky said turning to face Mikkos. Mikkos grabbed Lucky by the hair and pulled the teens head back just enough to get him to yelp out in pain. �You move or utter one more word and you�ll regret it!� Mikkos said. Lucky looked in Mikkos eyes and realized he wasn�t joking. �Ms. Carlson, I want you to make sure these two don�t move or utter a word until I get back,� Mikkos said to the cook and then he turned around and stormed out of the kitchen. �This is your fault,� Nikolas whispered glaring at Lucky. �Me? You�re the one that started this,� Lucky snapped. Ms. Carlson walked to where Lucky and Nikolas were standing and hit them both on the butts with her spoon,� Quit!� she ordered. Lucky and Nikolas glared at her rubbing their butt but they turned around and stood there sulking for the rest of that half an hour. **************************************************** Robin held Lu in her arms, who was crying uncontrollably for Lucky and Nikolas at this moment. �What is he going to do?� Robin asked Zander. �I don�t know. I haven�t seen Mikkos angry in awhile. I really don�t want go ask,� Zander said. �Well, I will,� Robin said handing Lu over to Zander then she went looking for Mikkos. Robin was just about to the kitchen when Mikkos exited the room. He was going to check up on Lu and the children before finishing up with Lucky and Nikolas. �Ms. Scorpio, what can do for you?� Mikkos asked her with a small smile. �What are you going to do with Lucky and Nikolas?� Robin asked with her hands on her hips. She wasn�t about ready to show any sign of fear towards this man. �Don�t worry my dear I would not hurt them. I just can�t put up with this fighting any more. Lucky and Nikolas have to learn to get along. Until they do, they are going to make things hard on the rest of us. So, I�m going to see if I can�t help things a long a bit,� Mikkos said with his smile growing wider. �You promise me that you�re not going to hurt them?� Robin asked. �Ms. Scorpio, I made a promised to your aunt that I would change my parenting skills. Now what I�m going to do might not sit will with Lucky or Nikolas parents but it might be the only way to get the boys to get along.� �You wouldn�t mind telling me that is?� Robin asked. �Sure,� Mikkos said and he filled Robin in on his idea. Robin smiled at him and said, �your right, I don�t see their parents liking this but I know Lucky and Nikolas well enough to know they hate each other. So, anything might help get them to start lightening up a bit on the other one.� ******************************************************** Mikkos came back a half hour later grabbed Lucky and Nikolas both by the necks marching them down one of the main halls on the servant�s side of the house. �Could you at least let up just a bit,� Lucky said wincing as Mikkos fingernails dug into his neck. �Quit,� Mikkos said and he stopped in front of the door. He let go of Nikolas and turned the knob. He then shoved both boys into the room. �Ok, here is the deal. You two aren�t leaving this room until you get along. How long it takes it is up to you.� �You�re joking?� Nikolas said. Being confined to a room wasn�t the parted he hated but being locked in with Lucky was a bit much. �No, I�m not joking. You two either get along or kill each other. I don�t care but one of them is going to happen,� Mikkos said and he then closed the door on them. Lucky crossed his arms looked at Nikolas and said; �You did this.� �Me? You�re the one that kicked that ball at me!� Nikolas yelled. �Oh, I�m sorry. Did it hurt? I hope so,� Lucky said and he walked to one of the twin beds in the room and dropped down on to it. He then laid down with his back to Nikolas. ****************************************** Laura and Stefan met Luke on the docks and the group went to the island together. They walked into the house all of them ready for a rest got something else that didn�t expect. Lu, who had been waiting for their arrival ever since Mikkos took Lucky and Nikolas way, met them at the door. �What�s wrong?� Luke asked bending down picking up his little girl in his arms. �Grandpa, took Lucky and Nikolas way to punish them. I don�t where they are,� she cried. �What? Where is father at?� Stefan asked. He was trying to hide his fears that something bad was happening to Nikolas but he was failing badly at this moment. �In his office,� Lu said in a small voice. Luke handed Lu over to her mother and said, �Laura, you stay here. We�ll deal with Mikkos.� Laura nodded her head and the two men went off to find Mikkos. Victor had come back from doing business in town and Mikkos had just finished filling him in what he had missed during that day. The two men looked up when the doors opened and weren�t to surprised to see Stefan and Luke together with very hard looks on their faces. �Where is Lucky?� Luke demanded. �And Nikolas,� Stefan added. Mikkos looked at them and said, �They are safe. I wouldn�t hurt them but I am not putting up with their fighting each other any more. I locked in a room together until they stop this.� �You what?� Luke said. The idea of being locked up sent chills down his back and images of a cell door being slammed on him almost rocked Luke to his knees but he did manage to stay up right. No one had realized noticed that little brief moment of weakness in Luke because Stefan had jumped in with. �Father, Nikolas and Lucky are our sons�. We should be the ones that say how they are treated,� Stefan said. �How do you plan on stopping them fighting? Talking hasn�t helped, Luke�s plan of letting at each other isn�t helping, and I think they are a little old for spanking. So, what do you suggested Stefan? I am willing to listen but until you come up with another plan. They stay exactly where they are,� Mikkos said in a firm voice. Luke and Stefan looked at each other. They didn�t have another suggestion. They were out of ideas at this moment at trying to get those two from stop fitting. �We want to talk to them,� Luke said finally. �Sure,� Mikkos said and together with Victor as back up just in case Luke tried something. The four men went toward the servants quarters. As they neared the room, where Lucky and Nikolas were located. Luke and Stefan heard to angry voices coming towards them. �You are the most spoiled brat I have ever met. You act like everything around here affects you. Well, I hate to say this Lucky. You�re wrong. Dead wrong!� Nikolas yelled. �I�m spoiled? Look at you, I bet you can�t even make your own bed. You have had thing handed to you so long. When you do finally get into the world. You�re going to have to live in hotels like Alexis because you can�t live on your own accord,� Lucky yelled back. The two boys were standing in the middle of the room going at it. They have been going at it for about an hour now. Luke and Stefan looked at each other and realized how deep their hate went for each other. �Ah, maybe a few days would cool them off,� Luke said to Stefan. �Yeah, I am starting to agree,� Stefan said. �You two still want to talk to them?� Mikkos asked with a smile on his face. Luke thought about it and said, �No, I think I have better idea.� �What do you have in mind?� Stefan asked puzzled. �Does Nikolas do anything that Lucky would consider normal?� Luke asked grinning. �He plays the sax,� Stefan said puzzled at what Luke was getting at. �Go get it. I have a call to make,� Luke said and he turned around and went to find a phone. Stefan, Mikkos and Victor looked at him puzzled at what he was up to but they all knew they were about to find out.
