Chapter 1

"Where are we going to go Luke?" Laura asked after they had been driving for about ten minutes.

"I made a reservation at a hotel just outside of Port Charles.  We'll go there and come up with a plan," he said.

"A hotel?  That's new," she laughed.  "We always hid out in the cheapest motels we could find."

"I know.  The problem is Scott also knows that, so he would check those places first."

Laura nodded.

"The reservation is under a fake name and I've got the fake ID's in the bag," he said pointing over his shoulder.

Laura looked over the seat into the back of the van.  She saw a large, blue carpet bag.  Other than the color, it looked just like the one they had used years ago when Frank Smith was chasing them.

"I love the bag Luke," she said with a smile.

"I thought you would like it.  I bought it a while back, just as a precaution."

"Why?  Did you think something like this was going to happen?" she asked.

"Yes... well no not like this.  I thought it would be something to do with me and Helena."

"Oh."

They rode in silence for the next few minutes.  Laura sat staring out the window.  Tears began to run down her face.  Luke glanced at her.

"Laura, what's wrong?"

"I was thinking about Rick.  He is... I mean he was the closest thing I had to a father and now he's dead," she said sadly.

"Don't worry.  We'll find out who killed him."

Laura wiped the tears from her face.  She turned to Luke and smiled.  "Thanks.  I love you Luke."

"I love you too," he said as he pulled the van into the hotel parking lot.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Bobbie was headed to Laura's room to see if she had been moved yet.  She got to the room and looked in the window.  She saw Alexis, Scott and the two guards in the room, but no Laura.  She went to the door and saw the key in the lock.  She quickly unlocked the door and opened it.

"Where's your brother?" Scott asked.

"I don't know.  I thought he was with you," Bobbie said confused.

"He was, but he locked us in here.  Then he took off," Scott said looking angry.

Before Bobbie could say anything else, two men came running in.

"Mr. Baldwin," one of the men said.  "Two men jumped us and knocked us out.  They stole our jackets."

"When we came to, the van was gone," the other man said.

"What about the patient?" Scott asked.

"We checked with the orderly.  He turned her over to the two men at the van."

Scott punched the wall with his fist.  "Spencer!" he yelled.  He turned to Bobbie.  "Your brother is behind this.  He has Laura now."  Scott lowered his voice and whispered nervously to himself, "I have to get her back before its too late."
