Prologue
Luke stood in the hallway at the hospital. The orderly wheeled Laura out of her hospital room. As they passed Luke, he winked at her. He watched them take her away.
"Good-bye my angel," Luke whispered.
Scott Baldwin stepped forward. "All right, Spencer, I kept my end of the deal. You got to see Laura, so now it's your turn. Sign the confession."
Luke stepped forward to take the paper from Scott, but instead grabbed the gun from the one of the guards. He pointed the gun at Scott and the two guards. He had no intention of actually killing Scott, but he enjoyed scaring him. "Hold it! Ok, there's not going to be any question about who commits this crime."
He could see the worried look on Scott's face, but before he could say anything else Alexis Davis walked in.
"Luke, you don't want to do this," Alexis said.
"Sure I do," Luke answered with a grin.
"No you don't Luke," said Alexis glancing at Scott. "This won't do Laura any good and think of what it will do to your children."
"You're right," he said not taking his eyes off of Scott. "Ok, I won't kill him… for Laura's sake." Luke saw that the door to the room Laura had been held in was still open and that the key was in the lock.
"Ok, all of you get in there," he said motioning with the gun. Scott and the guards did as he asked. Luke looked at Alexis. "You too Natasha," he said nodding at the room.
Alexis rolled her eyes at him, but went into the room. Luke shut the door behind him and locked the door. He smiled and headed out of the hospital.
Meanwhile outside the hospital, the orderly arrived at the van that was supposed to take Laura to the airport. Two men in uniforms signed the papers he was carrying.
"She's all yours," the orderly said.
The two men watched as he walked back into the hospital. One of the men helped Laura to her feet while the other quickly took off the straitjacket.
"I am glad to see you," Laura said hugging Nikolas and Lucky. "I was beginning to think Luke's plan had backfired."
"That was a great acting job Mom," Nikolas said.
"Yeah, I almost believed that you had lost your mind," Lucky said with a laugh.
Luke came running out of the hospital. "Thanks boys," he said. "We'll be in touch when we can." He helped Laura into the van and climbed into the driver's seat.
Luke started the engine and turned to Laura. "Are you ready to find out who really killed Theresa and Rick?"
"Let's do it," she said with a smile.
Luke put the van into gear and drove off into the night.
