Intro
Summer 1999 I started to write this in November ’98 so some things might be different than on the show and some other things I just didn’t like so, I changed them.
Lucky and Liz have been officially going out since November ’98 as on the show. Emily moved to Europe to model full time. The whole Tom/rape thing happened, but doesn’t really play into this story. When Nikolas found out Stefan was his father, he moved out of Wyndemere and moved into the apartment across the hall from Lucky, above the motorcycle shop. Nikolas and Lucky have a tenuous brotherly relationship, that mostly consists of a lot of teasing and wisecracking, with a little helping and giving advice thrown in. Lucky has reconciled with both of his parents but still doesn’t live at home. Nikolas has started reconciling with Laura and Stefan. Luke recently moved back in with Laura and the two of them have been rebuilding their marriage. Nikolas and Katherine never had an affair and Kat never knew about Nikolas’ true parentage. The only ones who know, other than Nikolas, are Stefan, Laura, Luke, Lucky and Liz. Luke, Lucky, and Liz kept it a secret because Stefan, Laura, and Nikolas asked them to, but they were never really told why. The way the Cassadine family works will be changed but that will be explained as the story goes on. Sonny is back and running the organization. Jason still has some ties to the mob, but still runs the motorcycle shop. Let’s face it, the Spencers have to have a mob friend or the world just wouldn’t be right. New characters will be introduced and explained throughout the story (wouldn’t want to give anything away :)

~1 Outside Kelly’s late afternoon A girl sat at a table outside of Kelly’s looking intently at a map and nervously playing with the silver cross that hung around her neck. Lucky and Nikolas were talking and walking towards the door of the diner, not really watching where they were going. The girl stood up from a table, thoughts buried in the map she was concentrating on. Nikolas bumped into the girl head on. “I’m so sorry, are you All right?” Nik asked concerned and slightly embarrassed. “I’m fine,” says the girl quickly and slightly annoyed. She was tall, with nice figure, long dark brown hair, and deep, clear, green eyes. “I really am sorry,” Nik said still staring at the girl because he found her quite beautiful. “Don’t worry about it,” she said obviously not taking any notice of Nik. She brushes past Nik and starts to walk away. Lucky laughs slightly and continues to walk into Kelly’s "I’m Nikolas Cassadine” Nik got in front of her and put out his hand to shake her’s. He didn’t want her to leave. The girl looked at him startled, “Cassadine?” She says almost through her breath. “Yes, that’s correct. And your name is?” Nik noticed her uneasiness “Is there something wrong” The mystery girl took a deep breath and said with a forced calm “ Well, you’d probably know where he is. I need to find Luke Spencer.” Nik looked at her with surprise, “I don’t know where he is, but I can direct you to his son.” Nik felt that this girl was hiding something. The girl looked at Nik with complete distrust in her eyes “Where is he?” She said with a suspicious tone. “Right in there” he said pointing to Kelly’s. The girl went inside and Nik followed. He recognized the look in eyes; it was the same look Lucky had given him when they’d first met.
Inside At the counter Lucky was recounting to Liz Nik’s clumsy meeting with the mystery girl, and laughing slightly. He turned around when he heard the door open to see Nik and the girl entering and said, “So you finally won her over, eh Nikky?” Lucky noticed the serious and confused look on Nik’s face and turned serious himself. “Lucky, this girl seems to need to speak with your father” Nik said slowly Lucky got up and walked towards the girl looking at her skeptically “Lucky Spencer?” she asked her voice matched Lucky’s look. Nik went to the counter and sat next to Liz. “Yeah that’s me," Lucky said slowly. The girl took something out of her pocket. “My name is Faithe Reynolds. I was told to come to Port Charles and give this to Luke Spencer, or a member of his family, if I ever needed help.” She handed the object in her hand to Lucky. It was a small gold plated dog; it looked like it came from a Monopoly board. Lucky looked down at the object questioningly for a moment and then his eyes grew large with recognition and he looked up at Faithe. “Come with me “ and Lucky escorted her out of the diner completely forgetting about Liz and Nik sitting at the counter. Lucky and Faithe were outside walking away from Kelly’s. “I’ll take you to my mother’s house. You’ll be safe there for now and she’ll know how to get ahold of Luke.” Faithe nodded acceptingly. “Are we hiding you or going after someone?” “Hiding, right now.” Faithe said wondering if she should trust this guy. “OK” said Lucky and they continued to walk towards Laura’s house. Back inside Kelly’s Nik and Liz sat at the counter staring after the two who had just left. Liz had a worried and puzzled look on her face. “Do you know what that was about?” Nik asked “No” Liz said still slightly worried “Well, she said she needed to find Luke so Laura might know what it was about. Do you want to go ask her?” Nik said. He was still and little uncomfortable around Laura but his curiosity was peeked. “Yeah just give me 15 minutes to finish up here, then we’ll head over.” “Sure.” Nik said as Liz went into the back. |
