Chapter 3

"I have never been happy with you working for the WSB.  I think you should hand the assignment over to someone else," Laura said.

"I can't Mom.  Besides, I love my job.  I love all the adventure," Lesley Lu said.

Laura laughed a little and looked at Luke.  "There is no doubt that she's your daughter."  She turned back to Lesley Lu.  "So how can we help you?"

"I need all the information Nikolas has on the Cassadine family.  I need things such as all the places they own property.  Especially places that Steven could be held.  Then I need you to tell me everything you remember about the Cassadine's island in Greece."

"What about me?" Luke asked.

"I want you to tell me what you know about Mikkos' plans to take over the world and everything that you know about Helena."

Luke nodded.  "I'll call Nikolas and get him over here."  He left to make the phone call.

Lesley Lu noticed the baby Laura was holding.  "Is this Lucky's new baby?" she asked.

"Yes.  This is Hannah."

"She's beautiful.  Can I hold her?"

Laura nodded and handed the baby to her.

"So where are Lucky's other kids?"

"Lauren is in the kitchen with your grandmother and the boys are upstairs."

Luke came back into the room.  "Nikolas is on his way."  He turned to Laura and sighed.  "He's bringing Gia and the kids."

Laura laughed at Luke's reaction.

"What's wrong with Nikolas' kids?" Lesley Lu asked.  She looked confused.  "Don't you like them Dad?"

"No.  I like them.  It's just that with Lucky's kids here, there will be nine kids in the house."

"Oh."  Lesley Lu looked at the baby and smiled.  After a minute her smile faded as she thought about her missing husband.  "Dad, I think we should call Steven's parents too.  They should be here"

"No way!" Luke said.  "It's bad enough that you married that guy's son.  I'm not about to have him in my house."

"Luke…" Laura started to say.

"I mean it.  I don't want him here."

"Luke, Tiffany is still my best friend."

"Fine.  Tiffany can come over, but not Sean."

"Luke, Sean is Steven's father.  If Lesley Lu were missing, you'd want Sean to call you, wouldn't you?"  Laura asked.

"I guess," Luke said.  He knew he was losing this argument.  He turned to Lesley Lu.  "I'm just glad that Steven takes after his mother instead of…"

"Luke!" Laura warned.

"Ok, I'll go call them," Luke said.  He did not look happy as he left the room.
