"Wait
here," Zander ordered Lucky as they hop off the laundry truck and he spots
a pay phone. Lucky only nods and watches Zander make his call collect.
Zander
prayed and prayed that Sonny would pick up on his line that was connected to
one of those machines that traced calls. Luckily he did.
"Corinthoes
here," Sonny’s voice was hurried and preoccupied.
"Sonny
it’s me. Zander."
"Zander!"
Sonny looked at Luke, Robert, and Roy who all came to attention. "Where
are you? Is Lucky with you? Are you hurt?"
"We’re
fine and yes, Lucky’s with me. Even though I have to lie to him to get him to
trust me. He thinks we’re going to find Helena."
"Why?"
"Long
story. But we’ve escaped and we’re outside this laundry place that does
Helena’s laundry. I’m not sure in which city, state, or country we’re in…"
"Don’t
worry. I have that covered," Sonny looked at his screen and wasn’t
surprised to see that they were in Berlin Germany. "You’re in Berlin
Germany. I’ll have my men pick you up. Across the street is a small café that I
happen to own. Go in there and wait. And keep an eye on Lucky. If he thinks
you’re lying about Helena, he’ll take off. The kid has experience in
disappearing and knows every move in the book on how to get lost."
"Got
it. Sonny…how my mother and sister?"
"Worried.
But don’t worry, I’ll have them waiting right here for your return."
"Thank you Sonny. Good-bye."
"Take
care," Sonny hung up the phone and turned to Luke and friends. "Call
Alexis and Elizabeth. Tell them to get over here right away. I have a few more
calls to make."
"What’s
going on? What’s with my kid?" Luke questioned just to be silenced by
Sonny.
"I’ll
answer your question just as soon as I’m finished here," Sonny dialed a
number. "Hey. This is Sonny. I have a very special, very top secret
assignment for you. This is of the highest security."
Meanwhile,
back in Germany, Zander leads Lucky to the café that Sonny had mentioned and
both took a table. Lucky looked around and frowned.
"Helena’s
in here?"
"No. But one of her friends are going to send someone to take us to her.
Don’t worry Lucky. Everything’s going to be alright," Zander reassured his
friend.
Fifteen
minutes later, as expected, a man wearing black sunglasses dressed in black
clothing with a gun holster hanging on his hip approached with a two other men.
They surrounded the table. "Zander Smith and Lucky Spencer?" The man
asked.
"Yes?"
Zander got to his feet.
"Mr.
Corinthoes has sent us. He said you are to come with us."
"Zander?"
Lucky nervously looked at the surrounding men.
"Don’t
worry Lucky. They’re friends. Just remain calm. They won’t hurt us,"
Zander nodded, for the first time since this ordeal he felt relief. They were
finally safe and soon he’ll be in Emily’s arms again.
Back at the
compound Helena had discovered that her captives have escaped. She glared
heatedly at Sarah who could only whimper and shrink back in fear.
"How
utterly careless to allow them to escape like this! And without a trace! You
better hope I find them before Luke Spencer does or I’m going to have your head
for breakfast!"
"It
wasn’t my fault!" Sarah whined. "I tried the best I could…"
"Well
your best was obviously not good enough my dear. Now Lucky Spencer and Zander
Smith are on their way back to port Charles by now and it won’t be easy for me
to get Lucky back again! Luke will surely keep a tight leash on his son now!
Any hopes you may have had for my Nikolas are now gone! Do I make myself
clear?"
"But
Mrs. Cassadine!"
"I
warned you not to disappoint me again Mrs. Webber, but you have. Now go pack
your things. You will be returning to Port Charles to work with Mr. Baker. The
sight of you is making me sick!" Helena growled.
Tears
welling in her eyes, Sarah springs out of the room, not wanting to anger Helena
anymore then she already had. Helena watched her go, biting back the urge to
pull out the poison blow darts she kept in her office drawer. Sarah still had
her uses. It’d be a waste to kill her now. Oh well, as least she had Lucky
Spencer at least twice and she’ll have him again. She swore to it.
It’s been
Six hours since the escape from Helena’s compound. Now Lucky and Zander were
Sonny’s private plane, heading back to Port Charles. He looked over at his
sleeping brother in law. He felt good that he could bring Lucky back to
Elizabeth, even though it wasn’t in the best condition. He was still
proclaiming loyalty to Helena, but Zander was sure that after time, this would
change. He halfway wondered what Lucky was dreaming about. Soon enough he had
his answer.
"Elizabeth,"
Lucky sighed, a small smile warmed his features. "Go to sleep…permanent
lock."
So Lucky did
remember Elizabeth…at least subconsciously he did. He just repressed the memory
until he was sure it was safe to remember. Smiling to himself, Zander leaned
back and daydreamed of seeing Emily again. Plus he was going to work with Luke
Spencer to bring Helena down. He had gotten down right tired of her messing
with his family and it was about time for her to pay.
"I love
you Elizabeth," Lucky sighed in his sleep.
"She
loves you too Lucky and I’m going to make sure that Helena will never bother
either of you again," Zander reassured his sleeping brother in law before
drifting off to sleep himself.
