Chapter 9

"What do you mean Dr. LeGrasse disappeared?" Mac was on the phone with Lucky and he was very upset. "What about his patients?"

"My mom was told that she was being transferred to another doctor. Technically, Dr. LeGrasse retired and closed his clinic." Lucky stood outside the building, trying to find a point of entry. "Look Mac, I am going to try and get into the building – see if anything was left behind."

"Okay, let me know what you find out." Mac had one last question for Lucky. "Who is you mom's new doctor?"

Lucky laughed. "Dr. Robin Scorpio. Mom is headed back to Port Charles and I will be on my way as soon as I am done here. It's time I come home and catch up with an old friend."

Lucky made his way to the back of the building and began looking for any security systems or alarms. He didn't see anything so he began picking the lock on the back door. To his surprise, the door opened the moment he touched it.

Lucky pulled out his gun and carefully entered the building, clearing the area behind the door before shutting it behind him. Cautiously, he creeped down the hallway to the main office. He could see a light under the doorway and stopped. Suddenly the door flung open.

"It's about damn time you got in here boy." Robert stood there smiling at Lucky. "This will go a lot faster if I have some help."

"Mr. Cassadine, how are you doing today?" Marcus walked in to the living room and poured himself a drink.

Nikolas shook his head. "I'm fine. How are you – enjoying your stay?"

"Yes, you really do have a lovely home. Robin and I are quite grateful for your hospitality."

Nikolas winced when the man mentioned Robin. Nikolas had a lot of regrets about working with his grandmother but Robin's involvement was the biggest one. Nikolas didn't even know she was involved until the day of the Nurse's Ball. Helena had sent word that she was sending him houseguests and he was shocked when Robin and her psychiatrist showed up on his doorstep.

Nikolas had meant what he said when he told Patrick that he would protect Robin. They had been through so much together and while he couldn't help her out of this mess quite yet, he could watch out for her. Robin wasn't the same since her return and Nikolas had been trying to find out what had happened to her during the time she was gone but he hadn't had any luck as of yet. "Where is Robin?"

"She is sleeping. Yesterday was rather rough on her so she laid back down after she took Emma to school." He sat down on the couch. "Now I have a favor to ask of you."

Nikolas rolled his eyes. "What kind of favor?"

"I need you to keep Patrick away from Robin." Nikolas looked confused so Marcus explained. "Robin's ex-husband cornered her yesterday in an elevator. Poor thing was a sobbing mess by the time I got to her."

"Son of a bitch. Is she okay?" Nikolas was certain there was more to the story than Marcus was telling him but he would get that from Patrick.

"No – I had to sedate her after we got back home. Needless to say, she will be staying home for a few days to recover." Marcus finished his drink. "I'm going to go check on her but I have some good news for you."

"What?" Nikolas turned away from the man, he couldn't imagine what Marcus considered good news.

"Your mother is coming home." Nikolas turned back around. "Yes – it seems that Dr. LeGrasse retired and he transferred care of your mother back to her previous doctor – Robin."

Marcus left the room as Nikolas wondered what had happened to Dr. LeGrasse and why his mother's care was turned over to Robin.

Marcus walked into Robin's room and sat down on the bed by her. He watched as she began shaking in her sleep. "No, please stop."

She was caught up in her nightmare again. Marcus put his arms around her. "It's okay, I'm here. Just listen to my voice and remember who it was who saved you."

Robin shook her head. "No, not you."

Marcus removed his arms from her and stood up, heading over to the drawer where he kept Robin's sedatives. He quickly filled the syringe as her nightmare became worse. He realized she was remembering her shock treatments. "Emma baby I love you, I'll never forget you."

He held her arm down and injected the sedative. "It's okay Robin, I'll always be here."

Robin shook her head one last time before the medicine took effect. "Patrick, I love you."

Marcus took the syringe and threw it across the room. So much progress destroyed in just a few minutes by Patrick's little stunt. He took a moment and then climbed back on the bed with a now peacefully sleeping Robin. She could rest now but after that it would be time for an extra long session to remind Robin just exactly who it was that had saved her.
