Chapter 1
Luke Spencer was walking along the docks. The fog was so thick he could barely see where he was going.
He remembered the last time the fog had been this bad. It was twenty years ago and it had been the worst time of his life. That was the night that the Cassadines take his wife from him.
He shuddered as he remembered the pain he felt when he thought that Laura was dead. Then smiled as he remembered how good it felt when Laura came running back into his arms at the Mayor's mansion.
He reached the corner of the building that housed Kelly's Diner and stopped to wait for Laura. She was supposed to be meeting him here.
Luke heard a voice coming from somewhere around the corner. It was a voice he had heard before, but he couldn't place it. The accent was so familiar. As he listened closer, he could tell that there were two other men talking as well.
"Is everything set Ari?" the voice said.
"Yes Sir. Everything is going as planned," the second voice said.
"Excellent. You're sure this is where they were meeting?"
"Yes Sir. We had her office phone tapped. They are meeting here at 7 pm," said the third man
"Perfect."
"7 pm?" Luke thought. "That is the time I am supposed to meet Laura."
"I assume that I don't have to remind you both of the consequences if you fail in this task?
"Don't worry Mr. Cassadine, we won't fail you."
"Cassadine!" Luke thought. He now remembered where he had heard that voice before. That was Stavros Cassadine "Doesn't that guy ever die?" Luke said quietly to himself.
"Tonight, Laura Spencer will be by my side as I return to my island, and this time, there will be no one to help her escape," Stavros said.
"I have to warn Laura not to come," Luke thought. As he turned to go someone came up behind him. He felt a sharp pain in his head before everything went black.
