CHAPTER ONE
Robin walked out of the hospital after being a patient there for two days after she had been found, she had been missing for five days before that. She got in the cab she had called and went to her house and the pharmacy to get her meds and then she went to the airport to catch a flight out of Milan where she had been staying. She had to go home to Port Charles to deliver a message. A message to Sonny, Jason and Carly.
Ned was ready to get on the ELQ jet when he glanced over to the ticket line and saw Robin Scorpio in line with her luggage and walked over to her and tapped her on the shoulder. Robin jumped and let out a gasp, she was scared, and she turned around expecting to find one of the guys who raped her. She was surprised to find Ned there.
"I'm sorry Ned you surprised me. What are you doing in Milan?"
"Business, what else. Where are you headed?" Ned saw the bruises on Robin and wanted to ask her who beat her up but he wasn't going to at the airport.
"Port Charles. I'm going home."
"I'm headed there myself and would love the company why don't you come with me, I have the ELQ jet and would love for you to join me. A jet with me sure beats commercial flying. So what do you say?"
"I would love to, thank you, Ned."
"Great, is this all your luggage?" Ned glances down at the two big suitcases and a small one she was holding onto.
"Yes."
"Here let me take that. You look like a strong wind would blow you over." Ned takes her two suitcases and she keeps the smaller one with her pills. Robin walks with Ned they show their passports and Ned carries her suitcases to the plane and he boards it and sets her luggage down next to his which was already on board and Robin walks up the steps behind him. Ned sits down and Robin sits across from him. Ned tells the pilot that they are ready and buckled in and the pilot gets clearance and takes off.
"Robin, you know you can trust me right? You know you are like a sister to me. I know you were hurt because I can see the bruises and if you want to talk I am here for you."
"Thank you, Ned. I really appreciate that. I went missing for five days and I was raped and beat during those five days and I then spent two days in the hospital. No one not even Uncle Mac knows any of this, that I went missing or anything. I'm going to tell him when I get home. I didn't want to tell him over the phone what happened to me."
"I'm sorry this happened to you, but if you need to talk about it I'm here for you." Ned tells his friend feeling bad for her and angry that this happened to her.
"Thank you so much you don't know how much that means to me." Robin said with tears in her eyes which Ned sees.
"So what were you doing in Milan? You didn't mention you were coming here a couple weeks ago when we talked." Ned asked knowing she needed a change of topic and a few minutes to get herself under control. Ned knew that Robin liked being in control.
"I was visiting. I just bought a small house here and I was on vacation. I got offered a deal on this house and came here. I left the day after I talked to you. I didn't know I was going to buy it but got offered a deal on it from a girlfriend. We had come here a couple times and I knew what it was like so I bought it. I came here, I was relaxing when I was grabbed, I had no warning and they raped me."
"I'm so sorry Robin but I am glad you are finally coming home. ELQ would love it if you decided to stay and we would hire you in a second. You graduated top of your class and have made a sensation in the business world in Paris in the last year and a half and getting your degree on top of working tells me you are not afraid of a little hard work. ELQ would love to have you. You are one of the best young minds I have ever come into contact with in the business world. I would double the salary you are getting now, among other things we can offer. If you're interested we can discuss what you would be doing for ELQ. What I am trying to do with ELQ now and in the future. I was in Milan on business I told you which is true, I was there buying a fairly new company Alexander Ringhold's company Chelsea's Wishes, it is a hotel, restaurant, casino, and dress store. The transition of it being Alex's and now ours has people in an uproar fearing for their jobs I would like it if you would handle that. It's too bad we can't have that type of business in Port Charles, but the law states no casinos."
"Actually that is not true. There is one person who can have a casino in Port Charles you just have to know who which I do and could talk this person into joining ELQ so you could have a hotel, restaurant, dress shop, nightclub, etc. in Port Charles. It would have to be a new building not the Port Charles Hotel, new structure, a new design to grab people's attention. You could if Chelsea's Wishes and the one in P.C. take off you would be able to start your own franchise of hotels' that cater to the rich mostly with some economical rooms on lower floors. Restaurant that serves food from a well-known chef, a night club in the P.C. division. Yes I can see it."
"So can I. Who is this person who can have a casino in Port Charles? I love your ideas for this alleged casino, hotel, restaurant, dress store and nightclub but who can do that."
"Now Ned that would be telling. No if I decide to take your offer I want leverage with the board so I can get shares in ELQ. I've been offered a new job as division manager and builder in Milan, I was there relaxing and seeing what this new job would be like what they wanted me to do. I like Milan but Port Charles will always be home for me. If you can get board approval that I have at the very least 5% of ELQ stock and am on the board, you have a new employee."
"Yes, can you go meet the board once we get to Port Charles I want to get the ball rolling and if you can come through with the casino, hotel etc. for Port Charles I will make sure you have 5% in stock of ELQ." Ned takes his phone out and makes several calls while Robin talks to the only person who can have a casino in Port Charles. He wasn't hard to convince when she said she would be coming home for good. He wanted to run the club and he wanted her to help him get some of the big names performing for the club. She agreed to this since she knew a lot of the performers and would offer them enough money to come to the new club that he would be running. This might be a hard sell but she was up for it.
Ned didn't tell anyone why there was an emergency meeting of ELQ just that there was. So everyone was curious and everyone said they would be there. Ned had forgotten that Jason, Sonny and Carly would be there. He needed to tell Robin.
"Robin, Jason, Sonny and Carly will be at this meeting I just called." Ned looks for a reaction and doesn't see any change in her face.
"That's fine Ned." Robin reassures her friend and future boss, she hoped.
