| Chapter 29 Emily walked into her mother�s hospital to room and was shocked to find her father sitting there. Alan and Monica looked up with surprised looks on their faces as Emily walked into the room. Alan looked at Monica and said, �Thanks for hearing me out,� he said patting Monica�s hand lightly before he got up and started walking out of the room. Emily backed out of the way to give Alan room and to keep out of his reach. Alan stopped in front of her and said, �I know you are mad at me and you every right to be. I just remember that I love you and when you are ready to talk to me. My door is always up.� �I�ll remember that,� Emily said her lips pressed tightly together. Alan smiled at this and he left the room. Emily turned to her mother and asked, �What was that about?� Monica sighed and said, �You father found something out that he thought that I should know. What brings you back here? I thought you were mad at me?� Emily smiled and said, �I can�t stay mad at you. I�m sorry for acting like a jerk. If you want to go those meetings that is fine with me, I just feel like going.� �I wish you would. They might help you a lot,� Monica said as she patted the edge of her bed. Emily walked towards her mother and sat down beside her. She smiled at her mother and said, �I talked to Kevin today. Lucky got ticked at me. I guess he is sick of hearing me go off about my troubles. At first I didn�t care that I was there but the more I talked about things the more they helped. I don�t know if I will ever forgive my father. I do know it is time to move on and work on me,� Emily told her as she bent down and laid her head on Monica�s chest. �I don�t know where go from here either but you are right. It is time we let go of this pain anyway we can,� Monica said as she gently patted Emily on the back. ********************************* Lucky arrived home after dropping Emily off at the hospital. �Mom!� Lucky yelled as he walked into the penthouse. �In here,� Laura called from the office. �Dad�s caddy is gone. He take off?� Lucky asked as he walked into the office. �Yeah, he wanted to say goodbye to you but you had taken off. Where did you go?� Laura asked looking up from the file she was working on. �I took Emily to see Kevin,� Lucky said still very pleased with himself at what he did for her. �Oh,� Laura said looking up shocked that Lucky actually realized that Emily needed to talk to someone. She had thought that a long time ago but didn�t dare bring it up. She didn�t believe her son saw the same things she did. Lucky nodded reading his mother�s mind. �I know and last night I might not have done it but today. I saw things differently but then again it could have been the fact that I wanted Emily to help me out and instead she just kept on going on about herself. �You have problem?� Laura asked. �No, not any more,� Lucky said and he walked away leaving his mother to wonder if it was the truth or was Lucky lying to protect her like he always done with things bothered him. Just before supper, the phone rang and Lucky picked it up. �Spencers!� �Lucky, Its Claude. Your father left without getting any money out of the safe and he didn�t leave me with the new combination. Can you come down and open it for me?� Lucky�s blood suddenly went cold. �Was this it?� He wondered to himself. �Sure, but why don�t you call the others?� �I tried. Jason is sitting with his mother tonight. Robert, I have no idea where he is off to and Sonny? I think Tasha is sick. You know how over protective he is with his kid,� Claude said smiling. �Ok,� Lucky said picking his keys off from the table near the phone. �I�ll be right over.� �Thanks, kid,� Claude said and he hung up the phone. Claude looked at his three companions and said, �He is on his way.� �Good,� Damion said smiling. He had been looking forward to getting reacquainted with young Mr. Spencer for a long time and now it was happening. Lucky walked to his mother�s office and said, �Mom, I�ll be right back. Dad forgot to give Claude the safe�s new combination and he needs money out of the safe.� �Ok, I�ll hold your supper for you,� Laura said not looking up from her file. Lucky just smiled shaking his head and walking towards the door. He briefly rubbed his hand over the medal he had on and said to himself, �Let�s hope your ready.� ********************** Lucky had just left about an hour ago when Sonny walked in with Tasha. �Laura?� Sonny said walking into Laura�s office. �Sonny?� Laura said shocked to see Sonny standing there with his daughter. She got up and greeted both of them. �Hi, sweetie,� Laura said running her finger under Tasha�s chink making her laugh. �Can you watch Tasha for me? I have work tonight at the club and Alexis has a bad cold,� Sonny told Laura. Laura looked puzzled and asked, �Does Claude know you are coming in?� �Yeah, he knows. Why?� Sonny asked as he handed his daughter over to Laura. �He called Lucky and asked if Lucky would open the safe for him. I guess Luke forgot to get money out before he left.� Sonny�s gut locked up and said, �Laura, I got the money out before I came home to check on Alexis.� �Then why did����� Laura couldn�t finish her sentences. She knew of the kidnapping threat and her heart stopped thinking that they were making a move on her son as they spoke. �Damn,� Sonny muttered as he ran towards the door. �Don�t leave this building,� Sonny yelled and he ran out of the office. Laura stood holding the child close to her fearing for Lucky�s life. ******************* Lucky arrived at the club in no time. He had spotted a car behind him and the way the drive drove. Lucky could bet that it was his father. Lucky got out of the car and headed towards the club but just before he walked inside two figured jumped out of the shadows and grabbed him. Lucky tried to fight them but they pulled the teen towards one of his father�s own delivery trucks. They shoved Lucky into the van and one of the men yelled. �Move!� �Damion!� Lucky exclaimed reaching out and pulling the mask off the man that yelled head. �Hi, kid,� Damion said grinning. �You are not going to get away with this,� Lucky said trying to get free. �Oh, I think I will. Your grandpa will pay a fortune to get his prince back,� Damion said grinning as he helped the other man tie Lucky�s hand behind him back. It wasn�t until Lucky was tied up that Sam pulled his mask off his head. Lucky�s jaw dropped open as he said, �I guess anyone can be a trader.� �Yeah any of us,� Alice said pulling off her mask and turning a bit to face Lucky. She was the one that was driving the van. Lucky just laid there glaring at his three kidnappers. He couldn�t wait to his father showed up and then they were going to wipe those smiles off their faces. ****************************** The trouble was Luke wasn�t behind Lucky. Luke was cut off by this old lady that insisted on driving no more then ten miles per hour. He was hitting the wheel and cussing her out as he drove. He had lost the van about few blocks from the club. He was using the tracker to figure out which way they had gone. �Damn it,� Luke cursed hitting the steering wheel. His cell phone rang and Luke picked up and yelled. �What?� �Luke, you need to come home,� Sonny said. He had gotten to the club to find Claude tied up and Lucky�s car out back but no sign of Lucky. �I am home,� Luke said, �Sonny, call the cops get an APB out on one of our vans, #3. Lucky has just been kidnapped.� �How?� Sonny said with a shocked look on his face to find out that Luke already knew about this. �It is a long story and if you see Claude, deck the guy for me. He is working for the kidnappers,� Luke said. Sonny looked over at Claude who was standing near by looking as innocent as a three year old child. �Where are you?� Sonny asked Luke trying to hide the hidden rage that was slowly building in him. �I�m following the tracking device that I planted on Lucky. I�ll call you if you get anything,� Luke said and he hung up the phone. �Luke coming home?� Claude asked as he watched Sonny hang up the phone. �He is home,� Sonny said walking towards Claude. �He is,� Claude said gulping a bit. �Yeah and he said you are working for the kidnappers,� Sonny said picking up a bottle breaking the end off and holding it out in front of him. �Are you?� �Me? I wouldn�t dream of it,� Claude said backing up away from Sonny. �You�re lying,� Sonny said as he walked forwards. �Now, you will tell me where Lucky is or I�m going to call Mikkos and Victor and tell them that you plotted to kidnap the crown prince.� Claude just stood there shaking wondering who he feared more. The Cassadine or Damion! Claude took a deep breath and picked the Cassadines. �Mikkos new land project. They are taking him there,� Claude said. �They are going to hold him there?� Sonny said thinking that Damion had finally lost it. �No, they are going to kill him,� Claude said. �What!� Sonny yelled charging Claude �I don�t know how but that is what they are going to do,� Claude said eyeing the sharp broken glass with wide scared eyes. Sonny shoved Claude backwards and said, �You better start praying because if anything happens to Lucky you are going to pay for it.� Claude nodded as Sonny put the bottle down and went to pick up the phone. ********************************* Damion and Sam untied Lucky�s hands as they stood around a hole. �What�s this?� Lucky asked. �Your final resting place that is if Grandpa doesn�t come up with the cash in time,� Damion said and he shoved Lucky into a box or that is what Lucky thought it was at first. It took him a moment to realize that they had shoved him into a coffin. �Damion can�t do this,� Lucky said trying to get up but the bottom part of the lid was shoved closed and he laid watching as they nail it shot. �I can,� Damion said standing there grinning. �Sam? Alice? Please,� Lucky begged looking at his other two captives for help. Alice just laughed at him and said, �You should have listened to me and stayed sick.� �Go to hell,� Lucky snapped suddenly realizing they weren�t going to help him. They weren�t going to do jack for him. �You first,� Alice said as she handed Lucky an air tank. �This should last you a few days if you take it easy.� Lucky was about to ask what she meant by this but the lid was shoved all the way closed and he was left in darkness. Lucky kicked at the lid but it didn�t move. He fought in the dark trying to get the air mask over his face and calm down. He had to think. He knew that was his only way out of this mess. Damion and Sam quickly buried Lucky and the three of them took off in the van. They all thought their plan was working fine and they would soon be rich. Chapter 30 Back to Trials of Love |
