Chapter Six
After breakfast Lucky and Will went in the back yard to play with Lulu and Luke
called Bobbie. She arrived not long after the phone call. “Luke. Why didn't you
tell me? Where is Lucky? What does our brother look like?” Bobbie asked, rushing
into the house.
“Take a breath, Sis. I'll go get them. Sit down and relax. Ruby is on her way.”
Luke said and went to get the kids.
Bobbie looked up when they entered the room and said, “I'll kill him.”
“Hi Aunt Bobbie,” Lucky said and walked to her.
She put her arms around him and hugged him. “It is over, Lucky, and that man
will never get near you again,” Bobbie said.
“Dad keeps telling me that, but it is hard to believe when he has walls covered
with pictures of all of us. He even had some of BJ and Michael. There were
articles of her death and his kidnapping. He even had some of Carly and about
her being locked up. He is coming back,” Lucky said, his voice breaking.
“Cowboy, you didn't tell me this before. What else does he have?” Luke asked.
“Everything.” Will said. “I know about all of you. Your travels and the major
parts of your lives.”
Luke, Bobbie and Laura looked at each other. They were worried more than ever.
They not only had to protect the boys, but their entire family. Luke suddenly
realized he didn't introduce Will. “Sis, this is Will.” Luke said.
“Hi,” Will said softly.
“Come here,” Bobbie said and opened her arms to her little brother. She hugged
him and then looked him over. “You and Lucky could be twins if it wasn't for the
hair color and the eyes. Where is your mother?”
“She ran off about two years ago. She left me with dad,” Will said.
“Well, your not going back with him. We will talk about where you're going to
live later. I know you're welcome here or my house. So, you don't have to worry
about any of it,” Bobbie told him.
Ruby arrived a little while later and Will was introduced to his Aunt Ruby. They
talked up to lunch and Ruby helped fix it. She had to do something to keep her
mind off of her nephews and what Lorenzo had done to them. They were eating
lunch when someone knocked at the door. Laura got up and it was Mac with V and
Garcia.
“Laura, can we come in?” Mac asked with a strange tone of voice.
“Sure Mac. What brings you here?” Laura asked and moved out of the way.
“I need to see, Luke,” Mac said.
“What's up Bubba?” Luke asked getting up from the table.
Mac took a deep breath and then spoke. “Luke Spencer you are under arrest and
the charges are expected child abuse. I have warrant to take the minor Lucky
Spencer with me for his protection, and, if a William Spencer is here, I have to
take him to.”
“What?” Everyone yelled.
“No. I'm not going with him,” Lucky and Will both said and started to run out of
the room. Garcia tried to stop them, but they were too fast for him. Luke was in
shock and let Mac handcuff him. He looked at Laura and his eyes told her more
than words ever could. “Bobbie could you and Ruby look after Lulu. I'm going
with Luke and could you get Jason to look for the boys and see if he could bring
them back?” Laura asked as Mac walked Luke out of the house.
“This is a joke.” Bobbie said.
“I don't think so, but he isn't going to get away with it,” Laura said and
hurried to join Luke.
“I can't find them.” Garcia said to Mac.
“You and V. keep looking and I will take the Spencers downtown.” Mac said and
got in the car and drove away.
“What is going on?” Luke demanded.
“I got call from the DA. I know this is some mistake, but Luke, I have no
choice. Lucky and Will are running, but from whom?” Mac asked.
“My father. He kidnapped Lucky about two months ago. I just got him back last
night. Will is my little brother. Mac, on Robert and Anna's graves, promise that
you won't let him near those boys. I don't give a damn about me,” Luke begged
his friend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mac ushered Luke and Laura into his office and took the handcuffs off of Luke.
They all sat down as Mac took out a file of papers. “This is what was handed to
me this morning. I didn't believe a word of it, but my hands are tied right
now.”
Luke took the papers from Mac, reading them in disgust. A detective, Mr. Lorenzo
Spencer, had been working on a case of suspected child abuse for the past two
months. In the report, he had stated that Luke had taken Lucky away with him,
and had abused him before coming back to Port Charles. Suspicion for the abuse…
Lucky was a reminder of Luke's wife.
After reading it completely, Luke handed the papers to Laura. The same reaction
was on her face, shock and disgust. “How absurd can someone be to actually
believe this?” she asked.
Mac looked at her with sympathy, thinking of what she must be going through in
all of this. She had just gotten her husband and son back, only to have this
happen. “I told you that I didn't believe it, but my hands are completely tied.
Det. Spencer had the backings of his whole department on this case, even though
it was out of his jurisdiction. Somehow, he was able to convince them to give
him this case because he said he could get close enough without being noticed
since he is your father.”
“That man was never a father to me,” Luke said in anger.
Laura placed a hand on Luke's thigh, trying to comfort him and reassure him that
this would be alight all at the same time. “What do we do now, Mac? Luke's
innocent of these charges.”
“Well, the DA went for an arrest, so Luke's got to stay here until there is a
bail hearing scheduled. I suggest you find a lawyer quickly because the DA wants
to move on this case,” Mac informed Luke and Laura.
“Can you give us a few minutes to discuss that?” Laura asked.
“Sure. I'll be back in 5 minutes,” Mac said as he was leaving.
Laura turned back to Luke who was just staring at the ground. He looked
completely worn and worried out of his mind. Laura had never seen Luke lose it
like this before, but she completely understood why. She just wish he would stop
blaming himself for everything that's happened. “What do you want to do?” she
asked him.
“I want to kill him,” Luke responded. He looked around the room and back at
Laura. “I guess I shouldn't say those words in here. They may end up using them
against me in court.”
“As for court… who do you want me to call to represent you?” Laura asked.
“Who'd be willing to represent me and be able to do a good enough job of proving
my innocence?” Luke asked her, desperation in his eyes.
“There are a few. Justice?” Laura asked.
Luke shook his head no. “I know he's good. I mean, he was able to defend you,
while at the same time, saving his own butt from being discovered as the true
murderer. But, he's working with Jason now, and that is his main priority. I
don't want to be just some case shoved in the corner.”
“Scotty?” Laura asked.
“Yeah, great choice, darling. That man would love to see me rot in jail for me
stealing you away from him. I think I'd rather take my chances with the wolves,”
Luke said.
Laura looked at her husband, knowing her next suggestion wouldn't go off as well
as her last two, but she believed this was the best choice. “What about Alexis?”
“No way! I'm not trusting my life in the hands of a Cassadine. Never!” Luke
looked at Laura, wondering how that could have even crossed her mind.
“Luke, she's the best choice. I know you know that too. She's not occupied with
anyone else at the moment, and she's good. You remember how she got Tony and
Stefan both cleared, and Tony was actually guilty,” Laura said, hoping her words
were getting through.
“No. No way am I turning to a Cassadine,” Luke said, Laura's words obviously
going in one ear and out the other.
Mac came back in before Luke and Laura could come to an agreement. As Mac was
taking Luke down to his cell, Laura went to Luke, giving him a hug and
whispering in his ear, “Just think about it.” Luke didn't even look like he
would consider it as he left with Mac.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucky and Will had been running for a while before they stopped to catch their
breath. “Come with me. I know the perfect place to hide out,” Lucky said.
Lucky and Will headed for the catacombs, and once they went in them, they
stopped and sat down to get a little rest. Neither one of them wanted to voice
their fears, but Will spoke up first. “He's coming for us.”
“He won't find us here. Don't worry, Will. Dad will get out of this jam and
he'll know where we are. He'll get to us and we'll get away from here,” Lucky
said, hoping that his father could get out of jail before his grandfather could
find him and Will.
Just then, Lucky and Will heard someone walking around outside. They tried to
hide, but they weren't quick enough. The person had found them as Lucky and Will
screamed.
“Hay, It is Ok. Lucky. Will. It's me, Sonny.” Sonny said moving into the dim
light.
“Sonny. Don't do that, man. You scared the both of us to death.” Lucky said
moving a little closer.
“Come on. I have a place to hide you until this mess gets straighten out.” Sonny
said and the three of them left the catacombs and headed to the safe house.
