Chapter 7 Carly woke up about eight that morning and found Jason looking out the window. �What are thinking about?� Carly asked. �I�m wondering if I have any friends left,� Jason said not turning around to face Carly. �Jas, I promise you. Father and Uncle Mikkos are not up to anything. They put all of that behind them. All they want is to settled down and put the family back together,� Carly said sitting up pulling the cover up just enough to cover her body. �I believe that is what they told you but what if they lied to you? What if they are up to something and I didn�t worn Robert about it?� Jason asked her turning around to face Carly for the first time. �Then ask me to leave and tell them that I charmed you to lie for me. I�m big girl. I can take it,� Carly said. �That�s the problem. I can�t do it. I don�t want leave,� Jason said and he crawled back into bed shoving Carly back down and kissed her lightly on the lips. ****************************** While Carly and Jason got comfortable in bed together, Robert arrived at the prison to face Luke. He kept trying to think of a way to tell Luke this without getting his faced caved in. There wasn�t any! Robert sat behind the table looking at his watch and waited for Luke to be brought in. Finally, the guard shoved Luke into the room. �I can walk,� Luke snapped at the guard as he stumbled into the room. The guard didn�t comment. He just left the room keeping Luke still chained up. Luke glared at the guy with hate, as the door slammed shut. �Robert, please tell me you are getting me out of this place,� Luke said turning around to face his friend. �Sorry, Mate but I�m working on it,� Robert said thankful that the guard did what he asked. At least, Luke couldn�t kill with his hands chained up as they were. Luke sat down and looked at Robert. �Ok, you haven�t found Damion. So, what is going on? Lucky ok?� Luke asked a fear that there was something wrong with Lucky that Robert hadn�t told him about. �Lucky is fine. He is going home today. He might have a little trouble with his hands for awhile but Jeff says that he will be a good as new soon,� Robert said. �Ok, if it isn�t my son? Lu, sick again?� Luke asked. �No, and before you ask Bobbie, Ruby and Laura are fine. I�m here to fill you in on a bit news I learned last night,� Robert said and he took several deep breaths trying to think of where to start. �Mikkos and Victor are alive,� Robert said starting out. �What are the bats up to this time?� Luke asked not liking this at all specially with him in prison unable to protect his family. �I haven�t figured out the game yet but I did learn a few things,� Robert said. �Like what?� Luke asked. �That Carly is Victor�s daughter,� Robert said. �What? How did you miss that?� Luke demanded. Luke knew that Robert looked into Carly�s past for Bobbie. Missing that detail didn�t sound like Robert at all. �It gets worse,� Robert said. �How worse?� Luke asked not liking the look on Robert�s face. �Well, you see. Carly is also Bobbie�s daughter. It looks like Victor was one of Bobbie�s first clients,� Robert said not knowing how else to say any of it. �Great,� Luke said. He hated the idea that Bobbie was a hooker in the first place but this made all of it worse. How could his aunt let his sister sleep with a Cassadine? �Yeah, Bobbie�s better with all of this but I don�t see her forgiving Carly any time soon,� Robert said. �Good for her. What else happened?� Luke asked. �Mikkos put Helena in her place. He pointed out that she killed his first wife and Alexis� mother. He also said that Helena was the one that fired bombed your home,� Robert said. �I bet Hells really liked that one,� Luke said with a cold smile on his face. �Yeah, she wasn�t happy. He even slapped her around a bit,� Robert said. �You pity from me. I would love to wring the little dolls neck,� Luke said smiling at Robert. �I know. He also said that when his first wife died. He had son that was thought killed in a car crash. The nanny took the baby and ran with it. She gave the child to her sister to raise,� Robert said. �Oh, don�t tell me, Mikkos is looking for his dearly departed son in PC?� Luke asked Robert. �Yeah, he is,� Robert said. �We know the devil spawn?� Luke asked Robert. �Yeah and you look at him ever day in the mirror,� Robert said bracing himself for the explosion. At first Luke thought it was joke but then he realized that Robert was serous. Luke looked at Robert and said, �Not bad. I can say this about the old man. He is inventive,� Luke said laughing. Robert sighed and said, �Luke, Ruby backed him up. She worked for Mikkos back when she was a young girl.� Luke stopped laughing and his eyes grew cold and hard. �Mate, that isn�t� funny,� Luke said. �I know it isn�t but from what I can tell. It�s the truth,� Robert said. Luke stood up suddenly shoved the table back hard knocking Robert on his back. �No way in hell am I a Cassadine!� Luke yelled. �Easy,� Robert said getting up off the floor looking at the door. �Don�t easy me,� Luke snapped. �Damn it, Luke. You�re in prison and getting mad like this isn�t going to help you one bit. Now sit down!� Robert ordered. Luke growled at Robert but he picked his chair up and dropped down in hard. �Fine, I�ll be good but when I get out I�ll kill the snake then I�ll be an orphan again,� Luke snapped. Robert shook his head at Luke but didn�t� comment. �I might tell you the rest because you find it out soon enough,� Robert said and he told Luke that Laura moved in with Stefan and took his kids with her. �Robert, I don�t want them on the island. I don�t want them any where near that family,� Luke demanded. �I know but you can�t do anything about it. You got life remember,� Robert snapped at Luke. �How can I forget. Is it to late to tell who really knocked Damion out?� Luke asked Robert. �A little, the courts wouldn�t believe you now,� Robert said. �Figures. I go to prison for her and she dumps me. Now she is taking my kids to living those vampires,� Luke said wanting to blow up but he knew Robert was right about one thing. It wasn�t going to help him in this place at all. �I know,� Robert said. �Do you? Robert, get me out of here. Find Damion and get me the hell out of here,� Luke yelled at his friend then he stood up when to the door and banged on it. The guard opened the door and Luke left without even looking back once. Robert dropped his head on the table and shook his head. He knew Luke was running of time. He was on edge too much and now things just got worse. He had to find Damion before Luke lost all control or worse just lost his life. ************************************************ Laura took the chicken�s way out. She took Lucky and Lu to Ruby to have her tell them what was going on. Laura knew Lucky would never believe her. She was hoping the kid would believe his aunt. �Can I have some Ice cream?� Lu asked her mother as they walked into the diner. �Sure,� Laura said smiling at her daughter. They sat down at the counter. Ruby wasn�t around but one of her girls were and she took their order. �Is Ruby around?� Laura asked the young girl. �Yeah, in the kitchen,� the girl said to Laura. �Thanks,� Laura said and she looked at the kids. �I�ll be right back.� �Alright,� Lucky said. He really didn�t care about this outing but it did keep them from going to spook island. Laura went into the kitchen and found Ruby at one of the tables cutting up some vegetables. �What are doing here?� Ruby asked Laura not turning around. �You�re going to tell them the truth. Lucky isn�t going to believe me but will believe you,� Laura said. �Who�s fault is that,� Ruby snapped. �Don�t not now. I might have made some mistakes but so have you. I faced up to mine and it is your turn to face yours,� Laura ordered Ruby. Ruby turned around and faced Laura. �What do you want to me to say to them?� Ruby asked her. �Ruby, he is so messed up right now. I know I did a lot of it but this isn�t going to help him. Please, talk to him and tell him the truth,� Laura begged Ruby. Ruby signed looked at Laura nodding her head yes. Laura smiled a grateful smile at Ruby and headed into the main dining area. Lu was eating her ice cream but Lucky sat there looking at the door waiting for his mother to come back in. He had a feeling something was up and he wondered if had anything to do with his father. Laura smiled at Lucky and sat down beside him. Ruby looked at the two kids and smiled at them. �Ah, kids I have something to tell you,� Ruby said and she told them story. Lu smiled brightly when Ruby was done talking turned to her mother and asked, �That man I met today was my grandpa?� �Yeah,� Laura said grateful that Lu was raised with out the inward hate for the Cassadines but Lucky was and from look on her son�s face. He wasn�t happy about any of this. �Lucky?� Ruby asked noticing the young man hadn�t uttered a sound. �Yeah,� Lucky asked in a cool sounding voice. �You ok with this?� Ruby asked. �I don�t have much of choice do I,� Lucky snapped and he got up and walked out of the room. Laura and Ruby looked at each other and they knew this reaction wasn�t good because sooner or later Lucky was going to react and they had a feeling it wasn�t going to be pretty. ******************************************* All the way to spoon island Lucky didn�t utter a word. He just sat in the car with his arms crossed with this scowl on his face. Laura smiled over at him and said in a loving voice, �I have your room all ready. Oh, and Foster found that he likes the horses a lot. I haven�t gotten him in the house once while you were away.� Lucky didn�t say a word. He just sat there. �Mommy, what do I call my new Grandpa?� Lu asked. �Mikkos is a very formal person. I think you should call him Grandfather,� Laura said. He didn�t think Mikkos would approve of Grandpa at all. �Ok,� Lu said and that was the last word spoken for the rest of the trip to the island. As the Spencer walked up the walk, Foster came running out of the bushes to greet his young master. �How is going boy?� Lucky said showing the first sign of emotion since he found out the truth from Ruby. Foster rubbed his hand on Lucky�s leg in reply. The group started off a little bit later and Foster was at Lucky�s side. As they walked into the house, Lucky noticed the room full of Cassadines. Alex and Zander were there as well and everyone looked up when the door opened. Lucky turned to Laura right then and said without much emotion on his face, �Where is my new room?� �Don�t you want to get know everyone?� Laura asked. �My room,� Lucky demanded. �Up stairs. Go all the way down the hall and make a right. It is the third door on the right,� Laura said not wanting to fight him now. She just hoped Lucky would cool off a bit then they could talk about this calmly. �Thanks,� Lucky said and he took off with Foster right behind him. �Ah, Lucky, maybe the dog should say out side,� Stefan said but Lucky ignored Stefan. He just went up the stairs and vanished out of sight. Stefan looked at Laura and said, �I thought we agreed that the dog stayed outside.� �Not now. Don�t set him off,� Laura begged Stefan. �He didn�t take it well?� Mikkos asked her. �He didn�t react and that worries me. Lucky is a lot like his father. He does great when he blows. It is there and done with without much damage but when he keeps it and the longer he does. The worse the aftermath is going to be,� Laura said sitting down in the near by chair wondering what was going to happen next. Chapter 8 Back to A Father's Love |
