Chapter 37
Several hours had passed since, Laura had been caught. She was restlessly pacing the small room she was being held in. "I hope Lucky and Jessica were able to escape," she said to herself.
She heard the click on a key in the lock. The door opened and Helena walked in. She was accompanied by two of her men.
"You'll be happy to know that your little plan worked," Helena said. "Jessica and your son are off the island."
Laura looked at her suspiciously. "You knew about our plan?" she asked.
"Of course. I knew everything you were going to do before you did it."
Laura sighed. She knew that everything had happened too easily. In fact, if the waves had cooperated, the escape would have been flawless.
She stared at Helena. "How did you find out?" She assumed that the cave had been bugged.
Before Helena could answer, Andreas walked into the room. He whispered something to Helena and left. An evil smile crossed Helena's face as she turned back to face Laura.
"You'll be happy to know that Luke is on his way here. I'll have to prepare a little reception party for him."
"What are you going to do?" Laura asked.
"I'm going to let Luke and the others think their plan is working. Then when they are confident that they are going to succeed, I'll spring my trap."
"How do you know what Luke is planning to do?"
Helena smiled at her. "The same way I knew about your plan. You both confided in Jessica Smith."
Laura gasped. She really liked Jessica. She couldn't believe after all the help she had been that she could betray them like that. "I don't believe you. Jessica would never spy on us for you."
"Oh, she's been spying for me, but she doesn't know it."
"What do you mean?"
"Before she escaped, I had one of her buttons replaced with a microphone. She never knew it was there. She was foolish enough to believe her escape plan worked. In reality, I let her escape, hoping she would help you and Lucky. Everything worked out just as I had planned. Now she has unknowingly provided me with the information that will result in Luke Spencer's downfall," Helena said. She laughed and left the room.
"I have to find a way out of here. I can't let Luke walk into a trap," Laura said to herself. She sighed and sat down on the cot to devise a plan.
