Chapter 4--Deafening
Dante picked up the piece of chalk as they searched Franco's warehouse. "The chalk doesn't fit. Its about the bombs here, but yet he has the chalk."
Lucky looked at him, there had to be a reason, from what he had gathered Franco was too precise to make a mistake. "Then it has to be something else."
"I need to look at that first file again, I think that everything links back to that first murder somehow." Dante was pacing around the room. Franco had enough explosives to blow a better half of Port Charles up, yet he was using them on two woman, to prove a point that nobody quite understood.
Lucky broke into Dante's thoughts. "I ordered a paper copy of the Tribecca file a while ago, its at the precinct."
"Then let's go maybe we can find a clue there."
Lucky looked at Dante for a moment. "You realize when we are done, your cover will be blown."
"I will deal with that problem when it comes, right now all that matters is that Lulu is safe."
"That's what I wanted to hear." Lucky grabbed his Jacket heading out the door. This was the guy for his sister, he knew that.
"Sam is in a warehouse off of Montcalm, it's your warehouse, Lulu is a few miles away 234 Bristol drive, you might want to hurry though, because both girls have 15 minutes to live." Jason was heading towards the door as soon as the words exited Franco's mouth. "Oh and the man you are about to call to save Lulu, he isn't who you think he is, but I'll tell you that when we meet again."
Jason ran to his car faster than he ever had. He knew where Sam was and that was what mattered. Getting into his car he grabbed his cell phone. "Dominic, Lulu is at 234 Bristol Street, you have 12 minutes before the bomb goes off."
Jason hung up the phone, hoping that Dominic would make it on time, he didn't want Lulu to die.
Dante's heart stopped when he heard the news. Lulu, the first girl he had ever seen that white picket fence dream becoming a reality with had mere minutes to live. As he headed for his car he called Lucky, hopefully one of them could get there in time. Lulu couldn't die, not this way, not while he was supposed to be protecting her.
He had barely gotten out of the door when Mac stopped him. "I told you to stay away, there is nothing more important than bringing Sonny down."
"Not now Mac."
"Yes now." Mac said, grabbing Dante's arm. "This is the best time, unless you plan on busting Sonny from 10 feet under."
"Look unless you want Lulu Spencer's death on your hands you will drop this, my cover is not as important as saving her right now." Mac dropped the his arm. He didn't need to know anything else, he knew that Maxi couldn't handle loosing somebody else.
"Where is she, I will send guys in the area over." Mac says. "If you mean what you say, take a squad car, if you live past tonight there is always a spot for you on the PCPD."
Dominic takes the key's and tells Mac where Lulu is. After tonight he's going to need a new job and a miracle, but right now all that matters is getting to Lulu on time.
Lulu looks at the timer below her as she sees Jason bust through the door on the monitor. He had went to save Sam, she knew he would but with seven minutes left and no sign of help that meant she would ultimately die. She began screaming again, hoping that anybody would hear her.
She watched the screen as Jason tried to shoot a hole in the glass box. She saw the black outline of the bullet fly back at Jason, bullet proof glass. She had hoped Sam would be a quick save, giving them time to get to her, but she could tell that Franco hadn't made it easy for him. She tore her eyes from the screen to see the ticker once again.
4 minutes until her brains would cover the streets of Port Charles. That was the time she had left. Her screaming had been overcome by deep sobs. This is where she would die, alone.
Lulu couldn't hear anything over the thoughts in her head. She didn't know that she wasn't alone anymore until she saw Dante standing in front of her, he undid the straps on her arms, and feet and picked her up. He had saved her. She looked to the timer one last time as Dante started running. Three seconds left.
They had barely gotten to the door when she heard the explosion and felt the heat. Dante fell, landing on top of her.
It took her a minute to regain consciousness and she could hear her brother calling her from somewhere in the building. She had survived an explosion before, why not now too. This was different though, because Dante was on top of her and he wasn't waking up. This couldn't be happening, he couldn't die, not trying to save her.
She pushed Dante onto his back. "Come on Dante, wake up." She begged. "I know you have some cheesy pick up line for me right now, so wake up and say it." Still nothing.
The tears freely fell down her cheeks as she felt for a pulse. It took a minute but she could feel a weak one. "You can't die on me not after everything you're mom has done trying to keep you safe, not after I lied for you."
When Lucky got to Lulu she was inconsolable. He had to pick her up from Dante's body just to let the paramedics get to him. "He's gonna be alright Lulu."
"You don't know that" She yelled, fighting against the hug Lucky had pulled her into. "He did this to save me you know. This is my fault."
Lucky's heart was breaking for his younger sister. "Lulu, the Paramedics will take care of him, and they are going to bandage you up as well." he said pointing out the large gash on Lulu's arm.
