Chapter 2
Scott sat behind the wheel as the car sped along headed for Niagara Falls. He had been grumbling for the last 25 miles.
Laura was staring out the window, trying to ignore him. It had just started raining.
"I can't believe I'm driving my ex-wife to Niagara Falls so she can rescue the man that stole her from me."
Laura sighed. "Scott that was more than 20 years ago. Let it go."
Scott glanced at her, but decided against saying anything else. They rode in silence for a long time. The rain began falling harder.
Laura noticed a large, black car stopped at the edge of the road. There was a man sitting in it. As they passed the car, Laura realized who the man was.
"Scott stop!" she yelled.
Her shout startled him and he hit the brakes hard. The car skidded a few feet before it stopped.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Laura didn't answer. She opened the door and jumped out. She ran back to the other car.
"Stefan?"
"Laura, what are you doing way out here," Stefan said.
"I could ask you the same thing. I thought you were out of the country," Laura said with a smile.
"I was. I was on my way back to Port Charles for a meeting, when the limo broke down. The phone in the car isn't working. My Chauffeur went to get help, but he has been gone for hours."
"Do you want a ride?" Laura asked.
"Thank you. I would love a ride. Let me leave a note so my Chauffeur knows where I am."
Stefan quickly jotted down the note and followed Laura back to the car. Scott groaned when he saw Stefan. He gave Laura an annoyed look as Stefan got into the back seat.
Laura didn't say anything. She just shrugged her shoulders and smiled.
Scott shook his head and started the car again. None of them spoke for the next hour.
"Ok, we're almost there," Scott said at last. "Which way?"
Laura gave him directions and soon they were pulling up in front of Harry's Hog Heaven. Laura got out of the car as the rain started falling even harder.
"Do you want us to go with you?" Stefan asked, not knowing why they were there.
"No," she said.
Laura didn't head for the building. Instead, she walked around to the back. She quietly called for Luke. "Luke, where are you?"
Luke stepped out from behind the bushes and gave her a hug. He took her hand and they headed back to the car.
Luke saw Scott and Stefan sitting in the car. "Laura, are you mad at me?"
"No. Why?" she asked confused.
"Well, you brought.... them," he said pointing to Scott and Stefan.
Laura laughed. "Well, Bobbie has my car. Scott showed up right after you called and I... um... convinced him to drive me up here."
"What about..." Luke stopped and nodded towards Stefan.
"We passed him on the way up here. His limo had broken down. We couldn't just leave him there."
"Why, he could have turned into a bat and flew to Port Charles."
"Luke," Laura said, sounding annoyed.
"Ok, come on. Let's go," Luke said. They walked the rest of the way to the car and got in.
"Do you two think you are wet enough?" Scott asked sarcastically.
Luke looked down at his clothes like he was shocked to find out that he was wet. "No, I think it looks like I still have a dry spot. I'd better get back out," he joked.
Laura sighed. "Let's head for home," she said. She knew it was going to be a long ride.
