Chapter 28
Luke, Jack and Nikolas walked into Gia's hospital room. Nikolas walked over to the bed, while the other two sat down.
Gia was asleep. Nikolas gently touched her arm. She stirred a little, but didn't wake up. He tried shaking her arm. Gia groaned and opened her eyes. When she saw Nikolas, she smiled.
"How are you feeling?" Nikolas asked.
"Much better. The doctor won't let me leave though."
Luke sighed. His plan had included leaving London today. "Did he say how much longer?"
"He said two or three days," Gia told him. "I'm sorry Luke."
"It's not your fault."
Gia felt bad about disappointing Luke. She could tell that she was ruining his plans.
He's right Gia. It wasn't your fault. It was mine," Jack said
Gia looked at him. "What are you doing here?"
"This is my… son," Luke said. He still wasn't positive that Jack was his son, but he had a feeling that it was true. "He's helping us."
"Your son? You mean we were wrong? Is this the real Lucky?" Gia asked.
"No, he's… well I'll let Nikolas explain. Jack let's walk down to the cafeteria and let these two be alone," Luke said.
Nikolas waited while Jack and Luke left the room. Then he sat down on the edge of Gia's bed. "Where should I start?"
"Who was that with Luke? Was it Lucky?" Gia asked.
"No, but he is Luke's son by a woman he was involved with before he married Laura. My grandmother was forcing him to help her. She is holding his twin sister."
"Twins? Luke fathered twins? Wow!" Gia said. "So this guy is helping us now?"
"Yes. He wants to stop Helena too. He's the one that brought you to the hospital. He felt bad that you wrecked because of him."
Gia sighed. She didn't look happy. "I guess I can forgive him, for Luke's sake."
"I was really worried about you last night when Jack brought you in. You were unconscious."
"I know. Thanks for the concern," she said kissing him. She was quiet for minute. "So did Jack give you any information that will help find Laura?"
"Yes. He gave Luke a phone number that he used to contact Helena. Luke found out that the number originates from an island in the Atlantic Ocean. It's in the Bermuda Triangle area."
"So that's where we're going?" Gia asked.
"Yes, as soon as they let you out of here," Nikolas said. "I'll fill you in on Luke's plan."

Meanwhile, Luke and Jack had never made it to the cafeteria. Five of Helena's men had been waiting right outside the door of Gia's room. They were led by the man who Luke had handcuffed to Mary yesterday. Three of them had taken Luke and Jack away at gunpoint, while the other two waited for Nikolas to come out.
