Chapter 33 Lucky, Nikolas and Zander sat on their horses looking out at the water blew them. A boat slowly came towards the island and from the looks of things it looked like it was planning on ramming the rocks. �That captain must be crazy,� Nikolas said as he watched in horror as the boat moved even closer towards them. Lucky just smiled and said, �I bet it is headed towards the secret cave opening. I wonder what Mikkos is getting now?� �Secret Caving opening?� Nikolas and Zander said looking at Lucky as if he lost his mind. �Yeah, while you two were being good little boys. I was looking around this place and found out that Mikkos has lots of little secrets. One of them is that below us is a cave that is big enough for his yacht to be dock and other boats as well. He gets most of the supplies that way. �You�re joking!� Nikolas said having trouble believing any of this. �I�m not. Come on, lets tie the horses up and see if we can go down and see what is happening down there,� Lucky said as he climbed down from his horse. He always wanted to be near the cave when a shipment came in but Victor always had a way in finding him and shewing him away. This only told Lucky one thing and that was Mikkos and Victor was up to something. What it was the kid hadn�t found out yet but he was going, too! It took Lucky a few moments but he finally to find a way down but did. �You are thinking about climbing down?� Nikolas said as he watched Lucky slowly ease himself over the side. �Yeah, why not. It looks like a ladder but with a little more holding is needed. You aren�t scared are you?� Lucky asked with smile on his face. He was living up, as his father would say. He could feel the risk and it was rush to him just as drugs were a rush to junkies. �Not I�m not scared but I�m crazy either. We could really get hurt doing this!� Nikolas said being the voice of reason. �Come on, I�m game,� Zander said and he went after Lucky. Nikolas stood there for a moment then went after his friends thinking all the while that they were out of their minds. The boys got to the opening and eased along the wall until they hit the hug opening that held now not only Mikkos yacht but the new but smaller ship as well. �Hello, Sean,� Mikkos said as he walked towards the man that was standing on the docks. It had been a while sence Lucky had seen Sean Donely but he knew even from this distance. �I don�t believe it. What is he doing here?� Lucky whispered out load. Nikolas and Zander wanted to ask whom Lucky was talking about but they were both afraid that they would be over heard. So, they just kept quite and listen as the men had their conversation. �Hello, Cassadine. How is things with your family?� Sean asked as he watched Mikkos and Victor step towards him. �They are fine. My wife lead you to Fasion yet?� Mikkos asked. �No, and I�m worried that Robert is getting smarter. I got word from my men on the docks that he visited here a few nights ago,� Sean said. �He did but he didn�t find anything. I�m smarter then that,� Mikkos reminded Sean. �Yeah, I know and that is what worries me. You do remember our deal. I get what I want or you two go back to prison for good,� Sean warned Mikkos. �You got what you wanted,� Victor snapped at Sean. �I got everyone but Fasion,� Sean said not liking Victor�s tone of voice. �Helena is the only one that knows where he is. If you can�t get her to talk that is your problem not mine,� Mikkos told Sean. �No, it is your because I can�t find Helena. My men lost track of her,� Sean said. �What? You mean you don�t know where she is?� Victor demanded and he walked around the hard cave floor. �You are an idiot!� �Watch it Cassadine!� Sean warned. �No, you watch it. Don�t you get yet that old bat is deadly! She comes here and hurts anyone here. I�m going to go after you and that witch!� Victor said as he went to face Sean head on. �Victor!� Came a woman�s voice as she walked off Mikkos yacht. �It isn�t Sean�s fault and Sean they have done what we asked. Fasion might have just found out about it and warned his sister of the danger,� Anna said as she approached the men. �Mother!� Zander said puzzled at what was going on. �Hello, Anna,� Sean said as he hugged her with a warm smile on his face. �Hello, old friend and stop being hard on them. They saved my life and you know that. Also we would have what we do if wasn�t for them. They are taking a big risk in helping us, specially letting Helena go as they did,� Anna said as she pulled away from Sean. �Anna, don�t forget who these men are!� Sean warned her. �I can�t forget. I used to work for them remember,� Anna told Sean as she went to stand beside Mikkos and Victor. �Maybe you still do!� Sean said eyeing her coldly. �I�m not working for the WSB or the DVX. I�m doing this for me. Now, I can�t have a life with Fasion out there. He will never let him. I can�t risk Robert or Robin�s life. I gave up a lot for them. I�m stilling doing it for them. So, for me find Helena and put a stop to this,� Anna begged Sean. �I�m working on it. I have a clue where Fasion might be. I just have to get word from our man in the field. I came by to warn you about Helena and about Robert. The agency doesn�t want him involved in this. They are worried what he might do,� Sean said. �I know what he would do. He would never forgive you or me for keeping him in the dark. As for what they think he will do, they don�t know Robert at all,� Anna snapped. �Anna, he changed after your death. He hunted down Damion with everything he had. He is even partners with Sonny and that is not the Robert I know and love. He isn�t the same man,� Sean told her. �We aren�t same either,� Anna said. Lucky shoved Nikolas and Zander back out into the open air and the boys made their way back up on to dry land. It wasn�t until they got to the horses that any of then had a chance to talk. �What is going on? Is that my mother or my aunt?� Zander asked. �I don�t know but I have to get back to my room. I have call the club,� Lucky said as he fought to climb back on to the horse. �Why the club? What is going on?� Nikolas asked very puzzled at this moment about what he just saw and over heard. �I�ll fill you in what I know on the way. We have to get going,� Lucky said and the three of them urged their horses to head back towards the corral. ******************************************** Lucky, Zander and Nikolas arrived in Lucky�s room about half an hour later. Lucky turned on his stereo and then pulled out his cell phone from it�s hiding place. �What are you doing?� Zander asked. �Sssh!� Lucky hissed and he open french doors and moved onto the balcony. It was then that Lucky made the phone call. At the club, Luke�s cell phone began to ring and he picked it up. �Spencer!� Luke said. �Dad, I was wondering if you can pick up Eli�s Ribs for me,� Lucky said. �How much?� Luke asked. �Oh about four helpings would do,� Lucky said. �When did you decided this?� Luke asked. �About half an hour go, horse back riding makes me hungry and the smell of the river does as well,� Lucky said. �Yeah, I bet it does. Ok, I�ll bring it and Lucky. Don�t eat anything until I get home,� Luke warned his son and he hug up the phone. Robert, Sonny and Jason all looked at Luke and asked, �What he find out?� �I don�t know but Mikkos and Victor had guests and there was two of them. They came by river and Lucky over heard the entire conversation,� Luke said as he put away the cell phone. �Didn�t Lucky tell you anything else?� Jason asked. �I don�t think he wanted to risk it. What ever is going on he used the code I set up with him. I have to get the rest when I get back to the island,� Luke said. �There goes my date,� Sonny said knowing full well that Luke wouldn�t watch the club after this phone call. �No, you go out. I�ll watch the club,� Robert said. �You sure?� Sonny said with a hopeful look on his face. �I�m sure,� Robert said. �Ok, that is taken care off. I�m going to go to Eli�s get some ribs and then head home to talk to the cowboy,� Luke said and he stood up and headed for the door. ********************************* Sonny met Alexis on the docks later that night. �How did the planning go?� Sonny asked as he greeted Alexis with a kiss. �Carly, is crazy, but she is getting wedding of her dreams,� Alexis said as the two of them walked along the docks. It was a nice fall evening and they were just enjoying being together. �I could have told you that but I think your entire family is crazy,� Sonny said with smile on his face. �Yeah, and I�m the craziest,� Alexis said with a sad look on her face. Sonny stopped walking pulled Alexis towards him and said, �You�re not crazy.� �No but my father thinks I am. He keeps asking me if I need to talk to someone. I tell him know and then scared little girl. Sonny, I can take on any case in the world and not flinch but I�m scared of my own father. Why?� Alexis asked him as she rested her head on his shoulders. �Because of childhood fears,� Sonny told her as he held her. They started to walk again. They stopped near the club and Sonny asked, �You want to go up to my place or do you want to go out?� �I want to be held,� Alexis told him. �Then lets go up and I�ll make you something to eat and then we will see what goes from there,� Sonny said and they headed up the back way towards Sonny�s apartment about the club. Alexis and Sonny laid in bed side by side holding each other feeling very content at that every moment. Alexis smiled at Sonny and said, �How come I feel so safe with you?� �I don�t know. I guess because you don�t have to pretend to be anyone but yourself with me,� Sonny said kissing her on the cheek. �Yeah, I guess that is it. It also could be because you never once talked me in any manner but an equal,� Alexis admitted as she rested her head on Sonny�s bare chest. �You an equal to me,� Sonny told her as he ran his hand threw her hair. �To you yes but not my family, I�m nothing to them at least to father and my uncle,� Alexis said. �They tell you that?� sonny asked her. �They don�t have to. I see it in their eyes. Father might have excepted me as his daughter but I�m still a bastard and that is what everyone will always see,� Alexis said with a small tear in her eye. �You are not a bastard. You are perfect and don�t ever let me hear you say other wise,� Sonny told her as he turned her head to face him and kissed her lightly on the lips. Chapter 34 Back to A Father's Love |
