GH 2018 presents Elizabeth Webber; #007
"Cameron and the Seven Seas; Part one"
(for story reasons, Cameron is 13 years old. Jake is 10 years old. And Aiden is 7 years old)…
(Opening and closing narrations by Anthony Geary; General Hospital's "Luke Spencer")
("You all know me, the original rogue scoundrel of Port Chuck. Man oh man, when I first came to town and, eventually, with Laura by my side, we put the whole place on our backs, and took everyone for a wild ride.
I mean, we had mobsters, a cross dressing assassin, lunatics trying to freeze the world and even a superspy thrown in for some thrills and chills.
That kind of adventure, the seat of your pants variety without a net to catch you, is not meant for everyone. But for a few of us, we can't deny our nature. And I can attest first hand that it can start at a young age; when a boy becomes his own man…")
Months ago in Port Charles; the night before Elizabeth Webber, and her two younger sons, Aiden and Jake, moved to Boulder Colorado…
When Elizabeth decided to move from Port Charles to Boulder Colorado, after urging from her father Jeff, she knew that her two younger sons, Jake and Aiden, would at first not want to, but, would eventually warm up to the idea, and they did.
But her oldest, Cameron, was an entirely different story. True, Jake's father, Jason, and Aiden's father, Lucky, were both unique, and their sons would no doubt inherit some aspects of their father's wilder character traits; which would be interesting for Elizabeth to deal with as the years passed by.
But, again, Cameron was totally different. Even at a young age, his personality was already leaning heavily toward the wild and possibly uncontrollable nature of his father; Zander Smith.
Lucky Spencer, father of young Aiden, somehow knew that if Cam had moved to Boulder with Liz, Jake and Aiden, things could become stressful as Cameron entered his teenage years. For the past couple years or so, Lucky had provided Cameron with what he needed most, at this point in his life; a strong father figure.
After talking it over with Elizabeth, and Cameron, Lucky offered to take Cam with him. What that would actually mean, Liz had no idea, but she trusted Lucky to come up with, if anything, an interesting idea. If there was one true aspect that Lucky had inherited from his own father, Luke Spencer, it was an eclectic view of reality.
"Where are you both going at this late hour?" an apprehensive Liz asked Lucky, on that fateful evening when Lucky and Cam, with two packed sea bags, prepared to leave her nearly packed-up home. The door was open, and they both prepared to leave.
"Don't worry mom," Cam replied first, with an assuring voice. "I want to do this."
Elizabeth looked at her son, and smiled, but then she turned her doubtful gaze back to Lucky. She could only wonder what the hell her son was getting into.
Lucky was about to explain, but then someone approached the front door from the outside; Elizabeth blinked her eyes twice, and recognized the man who looked like a scoundrel; Ethan Lovett.
"Hey there," Ethan said to Liz.
Ethan's arrival did not relieve the apprehension building inside of Elizabeth, especially when she watched Lucky and Cameron walk outside, and stood beside one of Luke Spencer's other wayward sons.
And then, for a brief moment of time, everything froze, and for an instant, a very brief instant, Elizabeth saw Zander standing behind Cameron, with his hands on his son's shoulders. Zander looked directly at Elizabeth and nodded his head…and then, reality returned.
"Alright," Elizabeth said, seeing the three of them standing there before her. She alternated her gaze between Lucky and Ethan, "Just where are you going with my son?"
Present time…
The 105 foot CMN Catamaran/yacht plowed through the waves that rushed toward it, as it pushed on in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
A viscous storm was chasing the yacht, but the vessel's destination up ahead, a chain of deserted islands, was closer. There were only three crewmembers aboard, and they stood together inside the small bridge. One of them was at the helm and steered and was the captain; his name was Cameron Spencer.
In the time since he had left Port Charles months ago with Lucky and Ethan, Cam, as he was called, had managed to grow a light goatee. But, wanting it to stand out, he used Just for Men Beard coloring to make it stand out even more.
The other two crewmembers, both older and stronger, were ready to adjust the sails, located on both sides of sleek double-hulled vessel. One of them was Lucky Spencer, and the other was Ethan Lovett.
"Alright; get ready!" Cameron yelled out, as the wind and waves were strong and very loud, as they smashed and blew at the ship.
And then he barked out the conning orders, and almost on cue, Ethan and Lucky ran out of bridge and took their positions, and used their strength to adjust the sails to accommodate Cameron's loud and strong orders. The ocean was powerful, and fought back, but the yacht slightly changed course, and bore on through the thrashing waves.
Would they make it to the island chain, and find shelter from the approaching storm; only time would tell…
("I know what you're thinking. How could a mother let her 13 year old son leave a safe home, and stable life, for dangerous adventures in the middle of the ocean?
Well, first off, we Spencer men have been known to bend the truth, just a little if we need to, so we can get our way. And, like I said before, for some of us and Cameron is one such person, adventure and thrills will find us; especially when we don't expect it.
Now, I'm sure some of you are also wondering; how did Cameron, Ethan and Lucky come into possession of a yacht that is probably worth four or five million dollars? And what did they name the damn thing? Well, my good friend from Australia, you know, the so-called superspy, he had a hand it that. And I'm sure he will tell you more of this tale at a later date…")
Continued…
The adventures of Cameron, as well as Ethan and Lucky, will continue from time to time. They might even show up in Boulder Colorado…you never know.
Next time; Elizabeth and Grayson Wayne have their first official date. But when they witness a traffic accident, Elizabeth becomes a little suspicious of what they really saw.
