For the next week Lucky and Liz got to know each other again. Lucky became Lorenzo’s new hero. They did everything together, they were hardly apart. Lucky had met all of Liz’s friends on the island. In the mornings Lucky would play with Lorenzo and then they’d all go for long walks. After Lorenzo was in bed him and Liz would sit and watch the sunset together. They made love every night, and were becoming a family. Lucky had talked to Nikolas about Helena and Stephan and his brother had been so upset. Nikolas had hung up and an hour later called back to say that Stephan was leaving for Greece that night. Lucky felt bad about his brother losing his father but he hated that man now almost as much as Luke always did.
Lucky sat on the porch playing with his son when the phone rang. “Stay here Renzo, I’ll be right back.” He went and picked up the phone. “Hello?”
“Lucky this is Sonny listen to me and listen closely. My men in PC lost track of Helena but my men down their say they saw her get off her jet. They followed her but lost her. She will not be let onto the island but people have their ways. I want you to get the kid and Liz and get they hell out of there. My men on the other side will take you to the airport. Don’t pack anything we’ll have it all sent.”
Lucky didn’t even hang up the phone. He’d just remembered he left Lorenzo outside. He ran to the porch and saw that the boy was gone. “Elizabeth!” he yelled. Her and Carla came running into the room. “Where’s Renzo? He’s with you right?”
Elizabeth looked scared, “What’re you talking about? He was with you. Lucky what’s going on?”
“Helena.” Was all he said. Lucky ran into the house and picked the phone up from the floor. “Sonny you still there?”
“Yeah.”
“Lorenzo is gone. He’s not with Elizabeth and he would never run off by himself.”
“Take an hour, talk to everyone you know. If you do not find him get on a plane and get back here so you’ll be here for her to contact.”
Lucky and Liz arrived at the airport in Port Charles around one in the afternoon. Nobody had heard anything from Helena and they were all worried sick. Lucky looked up to see Johnny. “Lucky, Liz I’m here to take you to your parents place. Sonny and Jason are there.”
They arrived at the house within a half-hour and Luke Laura, Sonny and Jason were the only ones there. “Where’s Lulu? Is she safe somewhere?” asked Lucky after giving both his parents a hug.
“Lulu, Carly, Michael, Lucas, are all at Nikolas’s house. We have guards posted everywhere around them. They’re safe.”
“Lorenzo is with them right? You found him?” asked Liz crying again.
Jason went up to Elizabeth and said, “We haven’t found him. But we will. I promise we will.” Everyone heard the unspoken question, will he be alive when you do?
They waited around for hours before the phone rang. Lucky jumped up an answered it. “Yeah?”
“Oh you’re back. I was just calling to pay my respects. I heard your son was kidnapped.”
“You BITCH! Where the hell is he? He’s not who you want Helena.”
“You’re right. He’s a brat and he cry’s too much. But I fixed that.”
“What did you do? I swear to you Helena if you hurt my son will kill you with my bare hands.”
Helena laughed the laugh that he had despised for two years. “Oh but my dear boy I am in charge again don’t you see? This time I have something over you.” She hung up.
Lucky hung up the phone and told them what she said. “So she killed him? What else could she mean Lucky? She said she fixed that. “Oh God my baby!”
“NO! Elizabeth he isn’t dead. She couldn’t use him against me if he was. I’m going to fix this.”
“How Lucky?”
“By doing what I should have done when I first got home.” Lucky ran up the stairs and into his parents room. He got the gun out of the closet and tucked it into his pants. When he went downstairs he said, “I’ll be back.”
“Cowboy where do you think you’re going?” asked Luke.
“I’ll be back dad.” He looked at Liz who was in Laura’s arms crying. “Take care of her.”
“Lucky I am coming with you.” Said Sonny.
“No.” was all he said before he went out the door. As soon as he left Luke realized why he went upstairs. To be sure he went up and checked. When he came downstairs his face was pale. Laura asked him what was wrong.
“My gun’s gone.”
“That’s crazy Luke, Lucky could never kill anyone.” Said Laura. Sonny and Jason were already headed out the door.
“I’m sorry Angel but our son is more like me than we thought. Nobody messes with the family.” Luke followed his friends out the door.
Lucky walked onto the yacht. He went into the room Helena was usually in. “Where is my son?” he said with the gun in his hand and pointed at Helena and Ari. He knew there were no other guards on the boat.
“What took you so long?” asked Ari with a thin smile.
“Lucky you know you wouldn’t shoot me. You have no guts. Besides if you shoot me you’ll never know where your boy is, and you’ll go to jail.”
“I don’t care. I want to know where my son is! You have no right to take him!” Lucky knew that Luke and Sonny and Jason would show up soon. His dad had probably figured it out the moment the door closed. He walked closer to Helena and pointed the gun right at her but at the same time watched them both. He was about to say something when the door opened and the three he was expecting walked in.
“Lucky let me handle this.” Said Sonny. “Put down the gun.”
Lucky didn’t even look his way. “Tell me where he is.”
“Cowboy don’t do this. Think of Liz.” Said Luke walking closer to his son.
“I am. As long as she is alive Liz and my family will be in danger. I’d spend the rest of my life I jail to avoid that.” He walked closer to Helena. He knew he didn’t have to watch Ari anymore. Jason had pulled him away from the old lady. He was grateful to Jason, maybe he saw that Lucky need to do this. “Does he know where he is?” asked Lucky of Ari.
“Of course he put him there.” Laughed Helena. She didn’t think the boy had the guts to shoot her. And she trusted Ari to never tell Lucky or anyone else where Lorenzo was.
“This is your last chance. You tell me where he is or I kill you.”
“You’re bluffing.”
“Try me.”
“You don’t have the guts. No Spencer has enough guts to kill me. Just ask your father.”
“One...Two…Three. Games over Helena you lost.” Said Lucky and then he pulled the trigger shooting Helena right in the chest. He saw the look go from fear to hate to fear again in a matter of seconds. He’d hit the ground right when she did. Luke must have tried to stop him, but he was to late. He turned towards Ari, and noticed Sonny, and Luke in shock, they didn’t think he was actually going to kill her. When he looked at Jason he saw that he had known. Jason went to Ari.
“I suggest you tell the guy where his son is, or you’ll be next. Is he on the boat?”
“Yes. Come with me. You not him, please don’t make me be alone with him.”
Lucky watched Jason and Ari go out the door. He leaned over Helena to check her pulse. She was dead. He looked up towards the two men that remained in the room. Sonny walked towards him and put his hand out for the gun. Lucky handed it to him. Then Jason came back out and Lorenzo was with him. The little boy saw his dad and ran to him. “Daddy!” Lucky caught him in his arms. They hugged for a long time. Then the door burst open and Lucky saw Mac and Taggert. He let go of his son. They both stood in shock. They hadn’t known that Lucky was alive. “I scared daddy.” Said Lorenzo.
“I know. I promise Renzo you’ll never be that scared again. I won’t ever let anyone hurt you. Go to grampa Luke now. He’ll take you to mommy.”
“You come.”
Lucky looked at his father and said, “I can’t.”
“Cowboy I’ll stay here. The little Cowboy can go with Jason.”
“I need you to dad. Mom and Liz, they’ll need you.” Lucky hugged his son and told him he loved him then the two left. Mac and Taggert finally got out of their daze and looked at Sonny. “No need to start yelling at Sonny and Jason. You’re not here to arrest them.”
They finally noticed Helena dead. “What’s going on?” asked Mac. “Why are you alive? Why is she dead? A few minutes ago I thought it was the other way around.”
“She kidnapped me, then my son, and I killed her.”
“Lucky don’t say anything else. I’ll get Alexis.” Said Jason. He left the room.
“Lucky you’re going to have to come down to the station. I have to cuff you.” Said Taggert. He didn’t want to do that.
“Fine.” He said.
“Mac come on, is this necessary?” asked Sonny looking agitated.
“As confused as I am at the moment, Lucky just confessed to murder. So yes Corenthos this is necessary.” then they led Lucky out in cuffs and Sonny promised him he’d be right behind him.
