chapter7

"Where did you say you saw this Marie last?" Lucky asked quickly.

"She was outside the Cassadine Mansion, on that bench. I left her with Jax to come find you." Elizabeth answered confused.

"Oh, not Jax, this is not good."

"Why? Do you know her?" Elizabeth asked suspiciously.

Lucky realized his mistake in saying that comment about Jax aloud. He quickly tried to regain his composure in fron tof Elizabeth, hoping she wouldn't suspect anything.

"No, it's just you know Jax's reputation, he's been known to move in on a lot of women."

"I guess, is she someone's girlfriend?"

"I saw her with Nikolas the other day, I'm not sure if they are going out though. I don't want the Cassadines to have any reason to be against Jax."

"You're right, lets go find them."

BACK AT THE MANSION...

"Well, it was very nice to meet you Mr. Jacks, but I better be going." Marie said with a smile.

"Can I walk to where you are staying?"

"I actually have to go into town, so I'm not heading back there right now."

"Well then, I'll walk you to town, if that's alright with you."

The truth was Marie didn't have anything to go into town for, but she didn't wan to go back and get rejected by Nikolas again. She looked at Jax again and hesitated to answer him.

"Sure, that would be nice." Marie finally answered.

"Great, shall we then?" Jax said putting out his hand.

Marie slowly placed her small hand into his. He gently grasped her hand as they walked off.

Just as Marie and Jax were out of sight, Lucky and Liz came running over to the recently vacated bench.

"They were just here, I wonder where they could have gone." Elzabeth observed.
"They couldn't have gone too far." Lucky put in.

"Yeah, we'll just have to keep looking for them."

"I think we should split up, we would find them a lot faster that way." Lucky suggested.

"Oh...okay, you're probably right." Elizabeth agreed, even though she didn't want to seperate from Lucky.

Lucky smiled and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Then he watched as she walked off, he had a pretty good idea of where Marie might be.
