Chapter 29
Mac and Felicia had just gotten home from the rehearsal dinner when they heard a loud pounding at their door. Mac ran over to the door and threw it open, ready to chew out whoever was standing there.
"Anna!" He was thrilled to see his ex-sister-in-law standing there. She pushed past him into the house. "Where have you been? Did you find Robert?"
"No, but I know where he is and I know who is behind all of this."
"Where is he?" Mac knew that something was wrong with Robert from Anna's voice.
"I am almost positive he is here in Port Charles being held in the catacombs at Wyndamere."
Mac was surprised. "Nikolas has him? I just can't believe he would do that to Robin."
Anna set him straight. "Not Nikolas, Helena. She is using Robert to force our girl to marry Nikolas, I am certain of it. Mac, we have to rescue Robert and then we can get her out of there. Do you have your phone? Mine was confiscated by Obrecht and I need to get in touch with Patrick. He needs to know what is going on."
Mac sensed there was more to the story. "Anna, is there something else I need to know?"
Anna didn't say a word, just handed Mac the file on Robin and let him read it for himself. She tried Patrick while Mac was reading but there was no answer. Suddenly she heard Mac yell out.
"Son of a bitch!" She knew that he had reached the last page. "What are we going to do?"
"I've had some time to think about it. The first thing we need to do is secure the children. Do you think Felicia and Maxie could come up with a reason to get Emma and Mal away from Wyndamere tomorrow morning before the wedding?"
Felicia walked into the room as Anna was talking. "Why would we do that?"
Mac quickly caught Felicia up on what was going on. "I'll call Maxie right now. Have you thought about asking Nathan and Dante for help?"
Anna shook her head. "I don't want too many people involved. Besides, Dante is Nikolas's brother-in-law."
Felicia wouldn't be dissuaded. "I think that both men would help. Besides, if Helena is back, Lulu could be in danger too."
Anna thought about it for a minute. Both men could be of use and both were already planning at being at the wedding tomorrow. "Fine. When you talk to Maxie make sure Nathan is included in the conversation. Mac, will you call Dante? I'm going to take the file and try Patrick at home."
Mac nodded in agreement. "And if he's not there?"
"I'll leave the file and a note for him." Anna headed for the door. "I'll be back within an hour. Get everyone here so we can make our plans."
Patrick parked his car and headed for his house. He was exhausted. He had gone over all of Jake's tests and had seen nothing that would explain why he had collapsed. After assuring Liz that she could call him anytime, he headed home to try and get some rest.
He was at the front door when he saw a folder on his front porch. He picked it up and saw Robin's name on the tab and a note clipped to it written in Anna's handwriting.
Patrick,
I need you to look at the last page of this file and then call me at Mac's ASAP.
Anna
Patrick tore open the file and pulled out the last page. He read it and discovered they were doctor's notes on a patient. He read it carefully, making sure he didn't miss a thing. It turned out it wasn't necessary, what he was looking for stood out like a sore thumb. "Oh my God!"
Patrick ran back to the car and headed back to the hospital. He would call Anna after he got to the lab.
Liz sat by Jake's bedside, worried and confused. Why had happened to him and why had he reacted so strongly to Robin?
"Robin." Jake was beginning to wake up. "Robin. No!"
Jake shot up in bed and looked around as Liz jumped to his bedside. "Jake, it's okay."
"No." He was suddenly calm and looked straight at Liz. "It's not okay. And my name isn't Jake, it's Jason. Jason Morgan."
