"Come on!" Faison yelled to his guards, "We have to drop Luke off at the hospital and get to the airport."
"You really are crazy if you think I am going anywhere with you!" Luke said dumbfounded.
Faison grabbed one of the guards guns and pointed it towards Luke, "Like I said, if I wanted to kill you I would have done it already."
Luke reluctantly got in the car and they sped away. The guards informed them that the shooter had managed to escape. Luke looked at the back of Faisons' head, trying to understand why he would tell them about Helenas' plan to make sure Lucky died.
"Your son is a remarkable young man Mr. Spencer," Faison said as he watched him in the mirror on his sun visor. "He has an incredible will and strength for someone so young."
"Why are you trying to help him stay alive? If you hate me so much, why didn't you let this Benson freak find him and kill him?" Luke asked him slowly.
Faison glanced out the window, "If it weren't for me, Helena would have had Lucas killed a long time ago."
"If it weren't for you Lucky would have gotten to spend the past eight years with his family!" Luke was getting angry, but trying to watch his tone. He knew he was in a vulnerable position.
"Do you honestly believe that Helena wouldn't have had a second thought about killing him at some point?" Faison asked, turning in the seat to face him.
Luke rested his head back on the seat and stared at the roof of the car. "You still haven't answered my question."
Faison turned around to face the front and looked at the road ahead. "I don't want him dead," was all he said.
>>>>> Lucky was softly whispering in Elizabeths' ear as they flew to the hospital. "Do you remember when...?" He went through all the times they had shared together as he held her hand, stroking her face, and crying.
When they landed on top of GH they were met by Dr. Monica Quartermaine and a pile of other medical staff. He didn't hear them as they shouted her condition out and he never let go of her hand as they wheeled her to the emergency room door.
Monica turned her attention to Lucky as they pulled her hand out of his. He stood staring through the glass as she was wheeled away from him. "Lucky?" she said softly and he turned towards her, "We're going to take good care of her." She then turned and rushed through the door leaving Lucky alone in the hallway. There were tears flowing steadily down his cheeks and his bottom lip was trembling violently. He sobbed loudly and placed one hand on the door and the other on his heart.
"Please, I am begging you," he said falling to his knees on the floor and placing the hand that was on the door over the one on his heart as he tilted his head back with his eyes closed, "don't take her away from me. If you have to take one of us, take me." He looked down at his hands that were covered in Elizabeths' blood, "Oh GOD! Please, please, please,..."
>>>>> Luke had called Laura on Faisons' cell phone. He had only told her that Elizabeth had been hurt, not that she had been shot. She said that they would meet him at the hospital and that Sonny would give them a ride.
Laura, Nicolas, Angela, and Sonny got to the hospital in record time. When they were told of the seriousness of Elizabeths' condition they flew through the corridors looking for Lucky. No one had seen him since Monica had left him alone in the corridor and they had no idea of where to look.
Laura turned to Nicolas, "I'm going to go to the chapel and say a prayer."
"Okay, we'll keep looking," he said as he hugged her tight.
As she was turning to leave she said, "Tell Luke where I am when he gets here."
Nicolas nodded and headed off to keep looking.
>>>>> Laura was walking to the tiny alter in the chapel when she heard Lucky softly praying. She couldn't see him until she was right up next to him because he was sitting on the floor. His knees were pulled up to his chest and his forehead was pressed against them. His hands were on the back of his head as he rocked back and forth. She reached her hand down and softly touched his shoulder, "Lucky?"
He looked up at her quickly and went up on his knees wrapping his arms around her. "Mom," he sobbed as he buried his face in her waist, "Elizabeth's hurt! She's hurt real bad!"
Lauras' heart was breaking as she placed her hands on his head and stroked his hair. He sounded like a little boy as he cried. She softly began to cry with him, "Lucky, honey, Elizabeth is the strongest person I have ever known..." She stopped as he looked up at her and relaxed his arms. She sat on the seat in front of him and cupped his face in her hands, "She's going to be fine. I just know it!"
Lucky squeezed his eyes shut and put his hands on his head, pulling them down over his face, "This isn't fair! She was trying to protect me! She took a bullet that was meant for me! I promised her I'd protect her! This is my fault!"
Laura grabbed his hands and pulled them from his face. His eyes were still shut. "Look at me!" he opened his eyes, "This is not your fault! Elizabeth would give her life to save yours the same way you would and have given yours to save hers. Besides," she smiled gently and softened her voice, "she's as good as Spencer material, and you know what that means."
Lucky looked up at his mother and smiled despite the aching in his heart, "She's as stubborn as they come."
>>>>> They had been working on Elizabeth for an hour when she flatlined.
>>>>> Lucky felt like the air had been sucked out from his lungs. "Something's wrong!" he said to no one in particular. They were in the waiting room next to the emergency room corridor. He jumped out of the seat he had been restlessly sitting in and charged through the door, "ELIZABETH!"
"Lucky! What are you doing?" Luke asked following him.
Lucky stormed into the emergency room and heard the deadly sound of the monitor. He saw the blood on the doctors and the floor. "Oh my God!" he said softly. His eyes were wide as he watched the doctors try everything to revive her. Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. Luke came up behind him and reached out to touch his shoulder. Lucky flinched at the contact and starting screaming. "ELIZABETH, I KNOW THAT YOU CAN HEAR ME," there were two orderlies trying to get him out of the room but he pushed them off. He was sobbing, "YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME!" He was starting to get angry as he paced the room and continued, "I WON'T LET YOU! DO YOU HEAR ME?" He stopped when he saw her hand fall from under the sheet, it was limp and lifeless. Her head was turned towards him, half covered by the ventilator mask, and her eyes were closed. "WAKE UP! NOW! PLEASE!" Everyone in his family were standing in the doorway watching and praying. All of their hearts were breaking.
They were charging the paddles again and when Monica yelled "CLEAR!" Lucky lunged forward and grabbed her hand. As the paddles were laid on Elizabeths' chest and the voltage was sent through her body it traveled to Luckys' and then back again. Before Lucky was thrown across the room he saw Elizabeths' eyes fly open as her body bounced on the bed and heard her muffled scream, "LUCKY!" He smiled as she looked into his eyes and then he passed out.
