Nikolas sat at the desk his head in his hands when they finally
bring Lucky back. For the past couple of days Lucky has been taken from his
room for a good amount of time than returned. This concerned Nikolas greatly
because each time he returned it seemed that a part of his brother had died.
"Lucky? What did they do to you?" Nikolas asked.
Lucky just turned his back to Nikolas, not daring to look his
brother in the eye. He couldn’t let him know what Helena did everyday just
before the sessions. She had promised that if he breathed a word to Nikolas,
Elizabeth would pay. "Nothing. I’m fine."
"Lucky…"
"Don’t you have something better to do other than badger
me?" Lucky snapped.
"Sorry. I was just concerned," hurt, Nikolas went back
to his desk and stared blankly at the computer screen. Lucky turned around and
regrettfully stared at his brother.
"I’m sorry Nikolas. I didn’t mean to snap at you. I just…I
just want to go home."
"I do too Lucky."
"Do they even know we’re gone?"
"I’m sure Elizabeth does. I’m not going around badgering her
to get out of the studio anymore. Emily must know and so must Stefan."
Nikolas was surprised to hear what sounded like sobs coming from
Lucky.
"I’m so scared Nikolas. Never once have I been this scared
while we were on the run from Frank Smith. She’s going to destroy both of us
you know."
"No Lucky…no she won’t. I won’t let her," Nikolas went
to his brother, laying a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"You can’t stop her Nikolas…no one can."
Nikolas didn’t answer that one. He knew that his brother might be
right. What it all came down to was that both himself and Lucky were at Helena’s
mercy now and there was no way to protect themselves. He just hoped and prayed
that someone figured it out and come rescue them.

"Roy! Have you news on my boy?" Luke asked his friend as
he entered the office.
"Well…actually no. But I did have Nikolas watched for a
couple of days. "
"Nikolas? As in Nikolas Cassadine?"
Roy nodded. "I know you don’t care much for the boy but he is
Lucky’s brother. But anyway. The boy was spotted on the docks. Two men had come
up behind him and knocked him unconcious. They carried him to this limosine.
Ten minutes later, they left and the limo took off."
"To where?"
"Well a special coordinator said that a jet issued to Helena
Cassadine took off for a small town in Greece by the name of Canaples. That’s
all I know."
"Interesting because Stefan Cassadine came into my office
demanding to know where Nikolas had gotten off to."
"Are you going to tell Stefan?"
"Of course not. This has nothing to do with me plus the prince is better
off out of Port Charles."
"But Luke…"
"What?"
"What if Helena is holding Lucky too? Wouldn’t you want to at least check
it out?"
Luke nodded and stroked his chin. "You have a point. Ok. Get
in touch with Corinthoes. We’re going to go check out what Helena’s up to.
