Chapter Twenty-nine
Edward woke up early the next morning determined to deal with one Lulu Spencer. He just started making arrangements when Tracy walked in his study. "I know what you are up to Daddy." "I have no idea what you are talking about."
"That is too bad, because I happen to agree that Lulu needs to be dealt with." Tracy said with a mixture of annoyance and acceptance in her voice. She could kill Luke for leaving her to deal with the situation. It was however amusing to see the shocked look on her father's face. "Don't look so shocked. Her behavior last night was unacceptable. Since my husband has taken off that leave me to handle it." "I am glad to see you're not protecting that delinquent." "While I don't approve of Jason's life he is still a Quartermaine. And we always take care of our own."
"It's good to know where your loyalty lies. Now let me tell you what I was thinking."

"Greetings Stone Cold. How are the Maternal One and Little Dude?" Spinelli asked when Jason opened the door to his old penthouse. He had given Spinelli the penthouse just after they returned from the cabin.
"They are fine. Elizabeth wants you to come to dinner tonight." "I... I am honored by the invitation." "Did you find any information on Mr. Craig?"
"Not directly. I have however found two of his accomplices." "This is good work. Hopefully these people will know how to find have him." "And if not?"
"We keep looking. He is going to pay for hurting my family." Jason said coldly. Every time he thought of Alan in the hospital or Elizabeth trapped in that elevator, he got furious all over again.
Before Spinelli could respond, his cell phone rang. "This is the Jackal." "It's Lulu. Wait... wait don't hang up. I really need to talk with you."
"I do not think that is wise." "Please Spinelli I really need a friend right now. I don't have anyone else."
"Alright I will meet with you." "Thanks so much. I will meet, you at Kelly's." "Who was that?" "Lulu. She wants someone to talk to." "I'm not going to tell you not to go. I just want you to be careful. Lulu has been acting out lately."
"I know. The Jackal will not allow her to trick me."

Lulu anxiously awaited Spinelli's arrival. Dillon had been furious since last night. She did not know why everyone was angry with her. She was not a liar and had done nothing wrong. At least Spinelli had not abandoned her completely. "Thanks for meeting me. I was not sure if we were still even friends.
"Of course we are Lulu. However the Jackal Is very worried about you." "Don't be. I am fine really."
"Lulu I heard about us. How could you treat the Maternal One like that?" "Me? I didn't do anything wrong. Why is everyone mad at me?" "The Maternal One did not mean to hurt anyone. She did it to help your brother." "Why are you protecting her? She lied to everyone and broke Lucky's heart. How do we even know that she is telling the truth this time?" "I... I can't believe you are saying you are saying these horrible things." "Because she isn't some angel. I cannot believe Maxie was right. I mean Maxie was right! What the hell is this world coming to?" "I can not sit here and listen to you attack my family." "Family? They are not your family Spinelli. Jason only puts up with you because he needs a hacker. As for Elizabeth she only cares about herself and those bastards."
"You Lulu Spencer are... are... are not a nice person. The Maternal One supported you last summer. Now you stand here attacking her for no reason." Spinelli said trying not to get flustered by the situation.
"No reason! She..." "Lied I know. What does that have to do with you?" "She hurt my brother!"
"Your brother is an adult. The only people who have the right to be mad are Jason and Lucky. You have no right to judge her. I do not know why you are acting so cruel. Despite what you say, I know that the Maternal One and Stone Cold are my family. I can't believe I ever thought you were a good person." Spinelli told the blonde angrily. How dare she attack the people he loved like this? What could she be thinking? Spinelli knew however, the problem was Lulu wasn't thinking. She was only reacting to a situation she didn't understand. Too bad Spinelli didn't sorry for her anymore. "From now on when you need someone to complain don't call me." "Spinelli wait. I'm sorry. I was just upset."
"I understand that but we both know you are not sorry." Spinelli said sadly before walking out of Kelly's leaving Lulu all alone.
