CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
"Robert Scorpio?" Lucky furrows his brow and remembers Luke telling him about his dead friend and how Faison was responsible. "But he’s dead. You killed him."
"Another lie. I’m not surprised. He blows up a boat with my dear Anna on it and then has everyone believing he’s dead too," Faison laughs in amusement.
"But why would he hurt Elizabeth? She never hurt anyone…she was innocent in this whole mess," Lucky looks at Faison with wide trusting blue eyes. For some reason, unexplainable to him, he felt that he could trust Faison…that he had all the answers.
"Because Scorpio is a cruel ruthless man. He’d push his old grandmamma down the stairs without a second thought," Faison grinned devilishly. "Against him…well let’s say that it was worthless to even try to protect your queen."
Lucky’s eyes glaze over and stares serenely at Faison, his mind a total blank except that Faison was his friend and could be trusted. "Robert Scorpio is a very bad man Lucky."
"A very bad man," Lucky repeats, his voice flat and emotionless.
"He has to be stopped before he hurts Lulu like he hurt Miss. Webber."
"He has to be stopped," Lucky nods in agreement.
"You must protect your queen Lucky."
"I must protect my queen," Lucky repeats.
Faison nods in satisfaction. His plan was turning out to be a success.
Luke stares down at the smoking ruin of the cruise ship and sighed a breath of relief. Just a couple of more minutes and they would have all been toast.
"Faison do you think?" Robert stands next to his friend.
"Who else? I doubt Helena would have done it since she had no other escaped," Luke shrugged.
"Ahem," Anna clears her throat. Luke and Robert gasps when they turn around to see Anna holding a bound and gagged Helena in front of her.
"What in the Sam hell is she doing here!" Luke growled.
"We couldn’t just leave her there," Anna shrugged. "we would have been no better than her if we had."
"Robert, you have to have a talk with your wife! Tell her that we don’t care about crusty old sociopaths!" Luke glared at Helena before strolling over to Nikolas, who’s watching a sleeping Elizabeth.
"How is she?" Luke asked, his heart going out to the girl.
"She’s holding her own I guess," Nikolas shrugs. She really hasn’t talked to me about it."
"She’ll be okay. After all she’s gone through…this was a walk in the park," Luke shakes his head.
"Any idea of where Faison took Lucky?"
"None what so ever. But don’t worry. We’ll figure it out and next time we’ll be a lot more quiet so Faison won’t have a warning."
Nikolas just looks up at Luke and nods, going back to watching over Liz, trying his best to believe those words. Trying his best to believe that they will get Lucky back and make Faison regret ever messing with his family.
The chopper lands in the middle of a jungle somewhere in South America. Faison has his young companion blindfolded and leads him to the compound setting in a clearing. That escape was close, but it worked to his advantage. Soon young Spencer will be ready to begin his assignment and Faison will be forever rid of Robert Scorpio.
