He Could Be the One
Chapter 1--The Beginning of the End.
Lulu Spencer smiled as she closed the door behind her. Maybe becoming invested wasn't as bad as she remembered it being. Dante was a nice guy with a stable family not like the guys in her past.
She loved that he didn't say things just because she wanted to hear them, or protect her from the things he didn't think she couldn't handle. Dante respected her, in a way most guys she was with never did, she was like her cousin Carly, strong-willed, independent, and curious.
Dante got those things about her. He hadn't stopped her when she insisted in looking for Carly in the dead of night, instead he had embraced it and headed out with her. That's when she remembered who he really was, when he was keeping her alive in the flooding Zacharra basement. Dante truly got who she was so why had she fought him so hard?
That was an easy question to answer though, she was scared. Lulu was scared of becoming her mother, or of finding a guy like her father. She knew she wasn't her mother though, she had gone through hell and beat the devil. Dante definitely was not her father either.
Maybe Dante was undercover as Dominic, but wasn't it Dominic that had first caught her attention. It was definitely Dominic that she stood by in the hospital when his Kidneys were failing, and it was Dominic who had taken a beating from her well meaning brother's. Yes Dominic and Dante were one in the same, they were just two sides to the same coin.
It was Dominic who had scared her. Making a career with Sonny. Dominic reminded her of Johnny, and Johnny had hurt her more than any man before ever had. Dante hated the mob, he wasn't a good little soldier like Jason or Johnny. Dante was a hero, he fought to protect those he loved, and he was starting to love those he was supposed to be fighting.
That was part of the problem though, because the ones he was fighting against were her loved ones. Almost everyone close to her would be hurt by him turning Sonny in. Lulu smiled when Maxi entered the room, bringing her from her thoughts.
"You're home late?" Maxi questioned, obviously wondering how the night had been. "How was you're date?"
Lulu smiles following her nosey roommate to the couch. "He took me to the Opera."
"The Opera, so he took you to the city?"
"Yep." Lulu replies wondering where Maxi is going with this.
"And did you tell him you could get into any club you wanted?"
"Yep" Maxi looks at Lulu with a smile.
"We should definitely hook him up with Spinelli then, because there is only so much film noir I can handle, and your new boy toy seems to enjoy the nerd fest the same as my non-husband." Lulu smiles at her friends sudden out burst.
"It wasn't that bad actually" Lulu explains. "I fought it at first but in the end it was beautiful."
"Oh now I know you've got it bad." Lulu just smiles at Maxi, there was no use denying it she did have it bad.
Dante stood outside Lulu's door for a few minutes after dropping her off. He wanted to knock and give her one last kiss. He had known she was trouble from the moment he saw her in Jake's. She had been worth every ounce of it though.
She was the kind of girl he had always wanted to bring home to his mother, hell she was friends with his mom. Lulu was one of the few who knew Olivia was more than his bosses ex though. He liked that she knew his secret, yeah at first she had almost gotten him killed, calling him officer, and stuff.
She never pulled his strings though, she didn't use it to her own advantage like some did. She like his mom worried about his safety. That is what made her different. She never judged him, even when she knew him as Dominic she didn't judge. She may have had snippy comments and tried to avoid him but that was their game.
It didn't take Dante long to get home. He let himself in sighing as he turned the light on, there was no way he was sleeping after the night he had just had. Instead he opened the file on Franco trying to find the missing piece. He found himself lost in the file trying to find the connection.
When his phone rang he about jumped in shock it was almost 2 in the morning. He looked at the caller ID and saw Jason's name flash across the screen. He quickly answered his phone, knowing that it must be important for the mob's number one enforcer to be calling this late.
"Franco has Sam." Shock reels through his body, Franco had only been attacking Jason until now. "I need you to get to the Office."
Dante hangs up without a response, heading to see Sonny and Jason. When he gets to the office Jason is nowhere to be found. However, Sonny is waiting for him.
"I need you to do something for me." Dante takes a seat waiting for Sonny to continue. "Franco dug up Claudia's body. I need you to find it."
This is the piece of evidence he needs to put them all behind bars. The problem is that right now none of that is important. There is an innocent woman involved in the sick game that Franco is playing. "Boss, Claudia's body could be anywhere, and with Jason out of touch…"
"That body could have evidence on it, I need it retrieved, I need to know I can trust you with this." Dominic nods, how the hell is he supposed to find a body when he doesn't know where it was originally buried and now it has been moved.
"You got it boss…he needs a place to keep the body, somewhere cold so I'll ask Spinelli to look for commercial refrigeration and storage units."
"No, don't distract Spinelli he is helping Jason find Sam." Dominic again nods allowing Sonny to see that he understands.
"Anything else boss?"
"You're good, just please get on that."
Lulu headed to the hospital to see Ronnie. She needed to ask him about his connection to Franco. Dante had asked her to stay out of it, but that isn't who she was. She was after all a Spencer, and Spencer's loved adventures one of the few qualities that she and her dad shared.
"So, I suppose I owe you my life." Ronnie mused as she entered the room.
"Something like that, I'm glad to see you're doing better, you had us scared."
"I'm good as new though." Ronnie replied moving his hands to indicate his battered body. "But I am doubting you came here on a social visit."
"No, I came to ask why Franco wanted you dead." She watched Ronnie as he calculated his answer to her.
"I don't even know Franco, as I told you before I should have been paying better attention."
"He didn't slow down."
"Well, than I think you should be asking him why he felt the need to kill me, as I said I don't know who he is." Lulu was getting frustrated by his lack of cooperation.
"Well I guess I'm just wasting both of ours time. I will let you get you're sleep." Lulu knew there was more that Ronnie wasn't telling her, but knew that Ronnie was really a cop. He was trained to be a master of deception.
Lulu walked out of the room to see Dante heading her way. She knew she had time to duck out of the way but what was the point. They both knew that she wouldn't drop this until she found a logical answer.
"Hey, you coming to visit Ronnie?" There was a certain awkwardness hanging between them. In the limo things had became intense, but they hadn't talked about what that meant. She was okay without that conversation and Dante was in no rush to force her to have it.
"Yeah, you?"
"Already did, I asked him why Franco would want him dead."
"And…" Dante hated to admit it but lulu was more likely to get information from him than he was. Ronnie had always had a soft spot for beautiful woman.
"And he maintained that he just wasn't careful enough. Maybe I am wrong, and this has nothing to do with Franco." Dante wished that were true Ronnie was the only partner he had ever had.
"Tell me what you saw again?" Lulu complies, telling Dante everything she remembers. Dante sighs it's as he thought. "Then I don't think it's a coincidence. I know enough not to expect you to stay clear of this, but will you at least be careful. That means no playing Nancy Drew with Maxi."
Lulu nods. "No Nancy Drew, got it."
"I'm serious here Lulu, be careful, don't go looking for trouble." Lulu rolls her eyes at him this time, he obviously hasn't been in Port Charles very long.
"You don't really have to look for trouble here, in case you haven't noticed." Talking to her was useless sometimes and this seemed to be one of those times.
"Fine be careful, either way I should get going." Dante gives her a kiss on the forehead and heads to Ronnie's room.
Lucky drew in a deep breath as he walked into the PCPD to find Sonny Corintho's sitting at his desk. He knew why he was there, but as Sonny nonchalantly looked through the pages sitting on Lucky's desk he began to worry. Not only was Dante's life in danger if Sonny read too much, but his sisters heart was at stake. He knew that Lulu would never admit it out loud, but she was invested in Dominic. That was something he could tell before he had known the secret she was helping him keep.
Walking over to his desk Lucky took one more deep breathe. "Those are confidential files you know."
Sonny didn't miss a beat as he immediately released the papers he had in his hand. "Yeah they were about to fall off you're desk so I was pushing them back on."
Sonny didn't seem to be too upset, so Lucky took it as he hadn't gotten to far into the files. "Thanks, but I doubt the cleanliness of my desk is why you are hear."
"I heard you arrested Jason, I was wondering why he hadn't called Diane to defend him yet."
Lucky was annoyed at the pompousness of Sonny Corintho's, but pushed it down. Sonny had helped him out when he needed somewhere to go and for that he owed him. He also kept Lulu under his protection, which was good considering the trouble she tended to find herself in. "We didn't have the evidence needed so we just let him go, you should call Carly though."
Sonny looked at the younger man in confusion, why would Lucky be telling him to call his ex-wife? "And why is that?"
"Franco took Carly. He vandalized Jocelyn's room. Jason found her but still can't find Sam." Lucky feels bad for the man he once looked to as a friend as realization hits Sonny. "The only reason I am going along with any of this, is because I care about Sam's well-being, and she would want us to trust Jason."
"Thank you, I appreciate the favor." Lucky watched Sonny leave. He had a feeling that this would get much worse before it got better. This was Port Charles.
