Chapter 4: How You Survived the War
"Lulu! Are you okay?" Carly rushed up to see her little cousin on the verge of tears.
"No Carly. Johnny is in surgery. They won't tell me what's wrong or if he is okay. I'm freaking out here. He promised me nothing would happen and now look!"
"Lulu he couldn't have predicted this… not even if he tried. This is just one of those things that happen that we have no control over."
"But it's all my fault. I mean he said not to call the police but I shouldn't have listened. I still should have called."
"He told you not to and you were just listening to him. Lulu this is not you're fault! Johnny is going to be fine. He's going to come out of surgery and make a full recovery. I know it looks bad now but look at me. I was shot in the head and I'm fine. Jason had a head injury and he's fine. Johnny is going to be fine too."
"But-"
"No buts," Carly said.
"Okay," said the defeated Lulu.
Just then Elizabeth came out of the ER. "Epiphany! Did you call John Zacchara's sister Claudia yet?"
"No Elizabeth. Could you?"
"Yeah sure." Elizabeth started to thumb through the Zacchara documents when Lulu made her way out of Carly's arms and next to Elizabeth.
"Lulu, you know I can't tell you anything about how Johnny is doing."
"Elizabeth I know but could you please do me one favor?"
"Anything Lu. You name it."
"Please don't call Claudia Zacchara. I'd like to deliver the news personally. It'll lessen the blow is it comes from someone she knows."
"Do you promise to tell her Lu?"
"Yes. I'll go and do it right now actually. Just call me if anything changes please."
"Of course."
And on that note Lulu walked out of the waiting room, out of the hospital, and into her car. She was ready for a confrontation. This was war, and she knew who would win.

Miss. Zacchara? A Miss Lulu Spencer is here to see you."
Claudia was shocked. "Tell her to leave please James. And have you heard from Johnny lately?"
"Miss Zacchara I haven't, but this girl says she has important information she needs to share with you."
"Okay fine send her in." Claudia said as her eyes rolled into the back of her head.
Lulu entered the usual office and put her eyes upon her enemy. She wore all black, her clothes tight fitted and skimpy. And she had an awful smirk on her face.
"What can I do for you Lulu? Have you come in search of my dear brother who is too blind to see how desperate and pathetic you are? Or are you just looking for a fight and really stupid?"
"Well I don't need help finding your dear brother because he's at General Hospital right now thanks to a hit man you hired to take out Sonny. And I don't need to go around picking fights with the likes of you. I'm not that poor and pathetic. I just came here to let you know not to come near Johnny. Got that?"
"You have no right to accuse me of ordering a hit."
"It's funny how much compassion you have for your brother. Honestly, you don't even try to pretend to care about him. You're to busy defending you ass to give a damn."
"Just because I'm not as emotional as you--"
"Don't you dare call me emotional you bitch. You're the whole reason this damn thing happened, you and Sonny. Don't go near Johnny."
"Lulu, I think I'm the one who will decide that. Don't forget I can get you taken off the visiting list and then where will you be?"
"Well you'd be a selfish bitch, which wouldn't be a change. But you'd also be in jail because I'd go straight to the cops with this information. Or better yet, I'd go to Jason, and then the only place you'd be is 6 feet under."
"You sure do have a big mouth for someone so small. Was that last statement a threat?"
"Absolutely. Just leave him be. You know he'd be better off."
"I love my brother."
"I don't doubt that Claudia. But look at what your love did? You can't possibly keep him safe all of the time, especially since he's chosen this business. You also can't keep me away from him. I love him and he loves me and it's time you accept that." The words flew out of her as if a muse of moonlight was sent to inspire her. She reached up to her neck and tugged on the necklace that now weighed a ton. Claudia's eyes darted to her neck and her eyes got big.
"His mother's necklace?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
"Okay what?"
"Okay I'll leave him be. He wants you and I won't get in the way. Just please take care of him."
"I promise. Thank you Claudia."
"It's what he would have wanted. None of this is for you, don't kid yourself."
"I wouldn't dream of it."
