Chapter 2

"Lucky?" Laura repeated.  "Is that really you?"

"Yes, Mom," he said with tears in his eyes.  "I thought I'd never see you again."

"How long have we been here?" she asked struggling to sit up.

Lucky helped her into a sitting position.  "You've been here for about two months, but I…"

"Two months?  Why don't I remember being here that long?"

"They've kept you drugged Mom."

"They?  Who are they?"

"I'll get to that.  I want to make sure you're ok first."

"I'm fine," Laura said smiling at him.  Her smile soon faded.  "Wait!  You said that I've been here for two months, but what about you?"

Lucky sat down next to her and took her hand in his.  "I've been here for three and a half years."

"Three and a half… That's impossible!  I saw you just before those men grabbed me."

"That was an imposter Mom!  The boy you and Dad found at the end of your search two years ago wasn't me."

Laura grew pale.  She had been fooled into thinking another boy was her son for years.  "Wait a minute.  How do I know that you're not the imposter?"

"Ask me something only your son would know."

Laura thought for a few minutes and remembered something she had been discussing with Lucky, or the boy she thought was Lucky, just a few days before she had been taken.  The Lucky she had been talking to didn't know the answer.  "When we lived in Missouri, you had a kitten.  What was the kitten's name?"

Lucky thought for a moment and then.  "Syeann," he said.

"Oh Lucky, it is you," Laura said throwing her arms around him.  Suddenly a look of anger crossed her face.  "Who did this?  I want you to tell me who did this."

"Helena Cassadine," Lucky said.

Meanwhile in Port Charles, Nikolas was getting ready to meet Gia for dinner when his cell phone rang.  He looked at his watch, he was running late and Gia was going to be mad.  The phone continued to ring.  He sighed and pulled it out of his pocket.  "Hello?"

"Nikolas, its Luke."

"Luke, where are you?"

"London.  Can you get here as soon as possible?  I need your help."

"Of course Luke.  Do you want me to bring Lucky?"

"No!" Luke yelled.  "I don't want him to know."

"Ok, Luke I won't tell him.  Can I say something to Gia?  She'll be suspicious if I just disappear."

"Yes, Gia's fine, but not Lucky.  Can you be here tomorrow?"

"Yes.  Where should I meet you?"

"The Kensington Inn, room 5.  It's just outside of London.  I'll be expecting you," Luke said.  He hung up.

Nikolas stood staring at the phone for several minutes before he left to meet Gia.
