Chapter 5
"Lucy what's going back to the way it was?" Serena asked again.
"Oh pumpkin head your home! That's just wonderful!" Lucy said with fake enthusiasum.
"Lucy why are you packing are we going on a trip!" Serena asked excited.
"No, Not exactly munckin.... tell ya what How about you go up in your room for a little bit so me and your daddy can talk. Okay?"
"Alright" Serena answered running up to her room.
"Okay Pal Why didn't you tell her we're broken up yet?!?" Lucy asked pulling Scott's arm.
"Hold it Luce I wanted to bring it on her easy. That kid has been through way to much now I have to explain this to her? Don't you think you could've waited a while before deciding to just pick up and leave?!?"
"Wait a second! Now your blaming this on me? Your blaming OUR relationship on ME?!?! I cant believe your doing this!" Lucy began to scream.
"Lucy will you please keep it down? Anyway I'm not blaming it on you entirely."
"Oh really? Well it sure has h3ll does seem like it! So please tell me oh great one if your not blaming it on me ENTIRELY is it possible that you could actually be blaming yourself too?" Lucy asked sarcastically.
"No, It was not my fault that you can't keep your clothes on just very second you lay eyes on a guy!"
"That is not true Scott Baldwin and you know it!! Our relationship was doomed from the beginning! How long could we keep kidding ourselves? You were never in love with me and you know it" Lucy screamed.
"Yes Lucy I was! Is that so hard to believed I loved you I still love you...." Scott answered.
"I LOVE you too pal! I will ALWAYS LOVE you! And I know you LOVE me but we're just not IN LOVE why can't you see that?"
"We can be though If you would just wait it out we can find that piece of ourselves again and...." Scott began to explain.
"No Pal. I'm so sorry but you can't just learn to be In love with someone. It's either there or it's not and with us it's just not. No matter how long we kid ourselves it's not."
"But what about the dress and that feeling we had that night?" Scott asked.
"Pal, I don't regret that night. I told you that. I WANTED you but not has bad has I NEED Kevin and I just don't know how to make you understand that. I'm sorry Pal, It's Over" Lucy said picking up Sigmund and her suitcase walking out of the firehouse.
Scott stood there in silence knowing everything Lucy had said was true. He was brought out of the silence of his thoughts by Serena tugging at his arm.
"Why were you and Lucy yelling? Where is she?" She asked Scott took a deep breath and began to explain everything to the little girl.
Lucy was in her car tears streaming down her face. She felt guilty for letting Scott down the way she did and Serena poor Serena she should've at least stayed with Scott to explain things to her . It wasn't another 5 minutes until she realized the smoke coming from under the hood. She got out of the car and pulled out her cell phone.
"Great Just great!" She said wiping away the tears and beginning to dial the phone when someone grabbed her from behind and placed a hand over her mouth.
Kevin was sitting at home waiting for Lucy to come back when the phone began to ring.
"Hello?"
"Hello Kevy remember me?"
"Sydney? It can't be...."
"Oh right on the first try too! You were always good at my games well I have a little game for you now who's this?" She asked all Kevin could hear was Lucy moaning.
"G-d Lucy NO!!! Where is she Sydney!!!"
"Oh Kevy now I thought you were good at these guessing games! Okay well I'll give you a little hint....... Your favorite sent is Jasmine and...."
Kevin didn't need the rest he dropped the phone and rushed off to rescue Lucy.
Jasmine Island
"OH G-d!! Ryan Why are you doing this?" Lucy moaned as Sydney hung up the cell phone.
"I'M NOT RYAN! MY NAME IS BRUCE! I AM NOT MY BROTHER!!!!" Bruce screamed when he finished tying Lucy to the bed.
"Bruce............Who's Bruce you can't be............" Lucy sobbed.
"Yet another Collins brother"
"Bruce? That name sounds familiar.....Another? How many of you are there?" Lucy asked beginning to calm down.
"YOU SHUT UP!" Bruce yelled smacking Lucy across the face.
"Please no....no.......please don't . Is Ryan behind this? You won't be able to get away with this..... Doc will know he'll save me....."
"Oh on the contrary Lucy dear it's all part of the plan... We have somethings planned for your dear Doctor Collins. Ryan will be here any minute all in time for our little game. Dear Felicia is going to play too" Bruce laughed taking the knife from his pocket.
"Felicia? How do you know she's coming back she's in Texas...."
"Oh Poor STUPID Lucy I had your phone tapped the whole time" Bruce traced down Lucy's arm with the knife.
"NO!!! PLEASE NO!!!" Lucy moaned.
"Bruce don't!" Sydney said grabbed the knife from his hand. "We need her don't Why don't you go downstairs I'll take care of her"
"Fine! But if you screw up you know what happens!" Bruce threatened.
"Okay fine okay just go"Sydney answered when Bruce left the room she began to cry.
"Who are you?" Lucy asked in between sobs.
"No one it doesn't matter"
"Yes it does why are you doing this? How do you know my Doc?" Lucy asked.
Bruce got a better grip on the baseball bat, he watched the figure move towards the door and..........
"WAIT!!!!" Ryan yelled before the baseball bat came down over his head.
"Ryan?!?"
"YES YOU IMBECILE! WHAT THE H3LL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!?!?" Ryan asked taking the baseball bat a slapping Bruce over the head.
"Ryan........wait...........ouch......stop it.............I thought...........you were...........Kevin" Bruce explained avoiding the beating.
"Ugh! It must be that twin thing..... Well come on Evie and Felicia are out in the car you have to help drag their bodies in" Ryan explained leading Bruce out to the car.
"Just wondering Ryan......" Bruce began to ask nervously.
"Yes?"
"Since you get the blond broad can I have that Lambert chick? What a fine piece of work...." Bruce finished opening the car door when Felicia and Eve's lifeless bodies slumped out of the car. Ryan rolled his eyes and agreed as they dragged the bodies into the house.
A While Later
"LUCY! LUCY! ARE YOU ALRIGHT? LUCY!" Kevin called walking up the stairs to the house. The thoughts of the last time he visited the dreary house filled his mind. He pushed them away. He had to save Lucy he was over that. He carefully opened the door and............................
POW!!!
Kevin awoke and rubbed the golf-ball shaped bump on his head.
"What Happened?" He asked aloud. He scanned the dark room when the single flickering lightbulb was automatically turned on to reveal the aged tub and broken mirror.
"Oh God!" Kevin called out realizing it was the same bathroom where he lost it before. "Please No!" Kevin held back a sob when Ryan entered the room.
"Surprise brother! Now you get to experience first hand what it was like in this torture chamber" He let out a cruel dry laugh and shut the door.
Chapter 6
"Well I'm not really sure how I got mixed up with the Collins brothers...." Sydney started.
"Please you could tell me I want to know" Lucy said in her most convincing concerned voice as she tried to untie the ropes tied tightly around her arms & legs.
"Well I guess it all started when I moved to Greece............"
Greece, 1979
17 year old Kevin Collins sat up in the overgrown oak tree gazing out into the water.
"Is there enough room up there for one more?" 15 year old Sydney asked climbing up the tree.
"What? Huh? Oh sorry yes of course" Kevin answered taking Sydney's hand helping her reach the limb that he was sitting on.
"So What's your name?"
"Oh sorry I haven't introduced myself My name is Kevin Collins yours?" Kevin extended out his right hand.
"Sydney Wright. Your the first person that's spoken a word of English to me since I came here" Sydney took Kevin's hand in hers & shook it rapidly. Kevin gave a shy smile and continued to stare at the water. The silence lingered between the two for what seemed to Sydney like hours.
"It's majestic isn't it?" Kevin asked in absolute awe of the scenery.
"What?"
"The waters, the trees, the mountains the way they blend into each other to form one beautiful scene" Kevin answered outlining the mountain tops with his hand.
"I guess so I mean I haven't really spent that much time here checking out the rocks and trees and everything......." Sydney answered.
"...........We talked all evening. He was the most interesting man I ever met." Sydney said not noticing Lucy tugging at the ropes. The comment make Lucy work at the ropes even harder when finally one came loose.
Kevin pounded his whole body against the door for about the tenth time. It still wouldn't budge. He knew he had to find Lucy and get out of that house. That room. He finally stooped back to the corner in defeat. His whole body ached and he tried not to cry but being in that room brought up to many unwanted memories suddenly Ryan's voice came out of no where.
"Well, well brother bet you thought you would never hear from me again.... Remember that fire didn't even try and save you own brother. Mother would've been disappointed but you wouldn't know another time you didn't save me wouldn't even try.....of course I could always blame that on Victor but he'll get his payback soon enough. Your so lucky you get yours now" Ryan let out another cruel laugh.
"SHUT UP RYAN! IT WASN'T VICTOR'S FAULT!!! I WAS JUST A CHILD. I'VE KILLED MYSELF INSIDE THINKING YOU HAD DIED, THAT IT WAS MY FAULT" Kevin wailed. "What are you going to do to me?" Kevin whispered the images of the night with his mother flashed through his head. Then he looked into the mirror an image of his mother flashed through it.
"NO PLEASE NO" Kevin wailed smashing the mirrior. "God Lucy........please be okay Lucy ....please just wait a little longer." Kevin pleaded silently knowing he wouldn't be able to get out soon.
Lucy struggled with the other rope when Sydney finally turned around. Lucy quickly went back to the way she was orginally.
"If you loved talking with Kevin so much why are you helping Ryan do this to him?" Lucy asked trying to stay strong for Kevin.
"Oh Lucy, Lucy, Lucy Kevin deserves what's coming to him and so do you. We're going to kill you slowly piece by piece help break Kevin down let him watch you die." Ryan's voice came again out from no where.
"Go ahead kill me Just Please don't hurt Kevin don't do anything to Kevin" Lucy pleaded.
".......Oh I don't need to do anything to Kevin he's doing it all himself" Ryan answered suddenly a moniter clicked on above Lucy showing Kevin on the floor sobbing broken glass covering the floor.
"Please Doc hold on.......please just hold on" Lucy sobbed.
"What did Kevin do to you that you want to hurt him so badly?" Lucy quivered knowing she would have to work fast in time to save her Doc.
"I had been living in Greece for a year and me and Kevin grew very close until......
~Greece 1980~
"Hey Kev" Sydney said climbing up the tree. All Kevin did was look at her there was something in his eyes that scared her she didn't know what it was. "Are you okay?"
"Fine" Kevin snapped.
"C'mon you can't fool me what's wrong?" Sydney asked carefully sitting down next to Kevin.
"Come with me I'll tell you just come with me" Kevin said taking her hand Sydney followed Kevin until they got into the middle of the woods.
"Kevin where are we?" Sydney asked.
"SHUT UP!" Kevin said pushing Sydney to the cold ground...............
"He.......he........raped me......" Sydney said sobbing it had been such a long time since she relived the memories of that night.
Lucy stopped working at the ropes not believing what she had just heard. "You're.....You're lying" Lucy responded knowing her Doc wouldn't do something like that.
"Lucy what do I have to gain from lying about this?" Sydney asked sobbing so hard she didn't notice that Lucy only had to loosen one more rope to be free.
"I don't know why don't you tell me I know my Doc wouldn't do something like that!" Lucy defended.
"Who are you trying to convince Lucy? Me or yourself?" Sydney asked.
"I know Doc wouldn't do something like that! He couldn't....." Lucy answered.
"Your not so sure anymore are you?" Sydney asked her eyes burning into Lucy's.
"Listen, I don't know what happened that night but I DO know Doc would never......."
"BUT HE DID LUCY HE DID HE RIPPED OFF MY CLOTHES AND VIOLATED ME IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE!" She wailed.
Lucy cried and shook her head she didn't want to believe it, she couldn't believe it. She knew her Doc had done a lot of bad things but this wasn't true he would never go that far. "You're lying....." Lucy whispered over again.
"NO LUCY! I HAVE A CHILD TO PROVE IT! AFTER HE HAD RAPED ME I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT AND MY FAMILY MOVED BACK TO THE STATES I FEARED FOR MY LIFE AND MY CHILD'S!" Sydney screamed.
"If you feared for your life and this so called child so darn much why did you get hooked up with Ryan? A serial killer?!?!" Lucy asked .
"I needed revenge Lucy..... On Kevin I never meant for it to go this far I didn't know but now Ryan has my son somewhere I don't even know where he is I can't even see him! Ryan didn't want me to back out I never meant for anyone to get hurt"
"NEVER MEANT FOR ANYONE TO GET HURT?!?! MY DOC IS IN THERE SUFFERING GOING THROUGH ALL THIS PAIN FROM HIS PAST RELIVING EVERYTHING FROM HIS PAST AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS YOU NEVER WANTED ANYONE TO GET HURT?!?!" Lucy sobbed.
"I Just wanted him to feel the same pain he put me through........" Sydney tried to explain Lucy knew that time was running out she had to save her Doc she wouldn't believe any of it she loosened the final rope grabbed the nearby candle stick and waited for Sydney to turn back around when she did Lucy hit her over the head with the candle stick. Sydney dropped to the floor. Lucy didn't know what to do her instincts told her to go find her Doc but she couldn't let Sydney lie there but she had to..... she had to save her Doc.
Kevin started throwing his body at the door again he need to get out of that room. He continued having flashbacks of his mother the pain she had caused him finally the flashbacks were too much to handle he stooped back down into the corner put his head in his he sobbed..... that was the last thing he remembered..........
"DOC!?!?!" Lucy called out running down the staircase still gripping the candlestick. She made it to the small downstairs bathroom. She tried opening the door but it was locked. She panicked.
"DOC?!?! DOC?!?! ARE YOU IN THERE? DOC PLEASE SAY YOU'RE OKAY... OKAY, DOC ? YOU HAVE TO TELL ME YOUR OKAY...." Lucy pleaded not getting a response. She knew she had to get to Kevin quick but how? She realized the candlestick still in her hand She began to pound at the doorknob with the candlestick till it finally broke off.
"Doc?" Lucy asked quietly noticing Kevin in the corner sobbing. "Doc?" Lucy asked again softly. Lucy went to hold him but when she touched him he back away.
"Please no......no......." Kevin sobbed.
Lucy looked into his red swollen eyes and saw this scared little boy. "Hey Doc.....It's me...It's Lucy...Doc please get out of this" Lucy said comforting him finally taking him into her arms and cradling him gently.
Here I am
Broken Wings
Quiet Thoughts
Unspoken Dreams
Here I am
Alone Again
I need her now to hold my hand
"Shh.......Shh......Doc It's going to be okay I'm here with you now shhh...... It's all going to be alright...."
She's All She's All I Ever Had
She's The Air I breathe

It's the way she understands
She's my lover she's my friend
When I look into her eyes it's the way I feel inside
Like the man I want to be
She's all I'll ever need
Kevin came to about five minutes later. He looked into Lucy's eyes and cried even harder - It was happening again
So much time
So much pain
There's one thing
That still remains
The way she cares
The love we share
And through it all she's always been there
"Lu.....Lucy......" Kevin tried to get in between sobs.
"Shh.....shhh...... It's all going to be alright........" Lucy said as they both sat there in each other's arms and cried.
She's all she's all I ever had
In a world so cold so empty
She's all, she's al I ever had
It's the way she makes me feel it's the only thing that's real
It's the way she understands she's my lover she's my friend
When I look into her eye's it's the way I feel inside
Like the man I want to be
She's all I"ll ever need
Back In PC
Victor sat alone in Mary and his home working on his laptop. Mary had left for work and he had tried to call Kevin numerous times without an answer. Even Lucy was gone. He remembered how his life used to be so exciting - spies, psychic espionage, psyco killers on the loose..... now nothing, absolutly nothing. He thought with Ryan back there would be a little excitement but Ryan hadn't even tried to speak to him after it was revealed that Monk was trapped in Canada this whole time. Victor let out a bored sigh when the phone rang.
"Yes?"Victor asked answering the phone.
"Victor?!?! It's Kevin Oh God you have to come quick.... COBRA is back they have us trapped back at Jasmine Island please you have to come now!"
"Monk? I thought COBRA was gone! I'll call Mac....."
"NO! You can't call Mac or anyone! They said you have to come alone or else they'll kill us!" The voice pleaded at the other end of the phone.
"Us? Who else do they have trapped?"
"Oh everyone! Eve, Lucy, Kevin......I mean uh me, Ryan..... you name them they're here"
"Don't worry Monk I'll be right there!" Victor said hanging up the phone. Well at least I've gotten the excitement back in my life! Victor thought rushing out the door.
Bruce hung up the cell phone and gave out an evil chuckle.
"Well?" Ryan asked sitting in front of the control panel.
"The old man bought it! What a looney toon!" Bruce laughed.
"Yes well I think I'm adopted" Ryan answered. Bruce gave an uncertain nod and walked next to Ryan.
"So how's the plan coming along?" Bruce asked.
"Perfectly.... Ms.Coe escaped and made it to our dearest brother. Just like I knew she would."
"You knew? Wait you planned for her to escape?" Bruce furrowed his brows in an attempt to understand.
"UGH! Don't you know ANYTHING?!?! Why do you think I allowed Ms. Coe to escape? Kevin and Lucy are way to strong together..... They're love is strong but it's not enough" Ryan answered.
"It's not but what are you going to......" Bruce was broke off by Sydney rushing through the door.
"Lucy............ escaped.............she's........." Sydney gasped for air.
"With Kevin I know and thank you for playing our little game but we're going to have to ask you to leave now...." Ryan answered.
"Wait.....game? What?" Sydney asked.
"Oh didn't I tell you? You were just a pawn oh darn I must've forgot to tell you that after we were done I was going to kill you... must've just slipped my mind! It would have never worked without your help but you'll be leaving now. Bruce please escort the lovely lady to the basement. We'll take care of her later but right now we have to continue with our game!" Ryan responded. Bruce nodded and grabbed Sydney. She tried to wriggle away but it was to late Bruce had a hold of her.
"You said I would get to see my son you said my debt would be paid off you said....." Sydney cried.
"WELL I LIED!!! NOW GOODBYE!" Ryan yelled as Bruce dragged her down the basement and locked the door.
"She was a nice girl. Remind me to send her family a fruit basket of some sort" Ryan said walking back to the control panel has Bruce followed behind.
"Now back to our dearest brother and Ms.Coe......"
