Chapter 9
Robin Scorpio left Kelly's and began to walk through the park. It was a nice spring day and she enjoyed the warm weather, it was a great contrast to the cold weather of Canada that she had become accustomed to.
She walked along the path and after a few minutes she heard the unmistakeable voice of her uncle. She smiled slightly and continued walking until she came upon Mac, Felicia, Georgie, and an angry Maxie.
"Hey," she said loudly causing the family to turn and look at her.
"Robin?" Mac asked walking over to her.
"Uncle Mac," hse said with a smile as he gave her a big hug.
"What are you doing here?" Felicia asked standing up and doing the same.
~~~
Nikolas handed Stefan the pictures before helping Riley sit down. He walked over to the window and looked outside while Stefan looked at each of the pictures. Finally he sighed.
"We know that Helena did this," he said.
"We figured that," Nikolas said.
They both looked to Riley who was sitting there, staring off into space.
"Riley?" Nikolas asked walking over to her. He kneeled in front of her and took her hand in his. Fianlly, she looked at him. He gave her a sad smile. "We'll find her."
"Yes, we will," Stefan confirmed. "Nikolas, do you know of anyone else who has recieved theses pictures?"
Nikolas shook his head. "Robin and Zander may have, but I'm not sure."
"Call them and find out, we have to know if anyone else knows about this."
Nikolas nodded and left the room.
~~~
Zander threw the pictures across the room angrily. Robert had told him that he would have Frisco look into the matter, but Zander didn't anyone else involved. Heneeded to do it, he needed to find Lena himself.
With an angry sigh he stood up and picked the pictures off the floor and put them back into the envelope before leaving the room.
~~~
"I came for a visit," Robin said. "I know that it's been a while, but I decided that it was time."
Mac smiled. "I tried to call you in Paris, but your roommate said that you moved."
"Yeah, I did," Robin said smoothly.
"Why?"
"It's a long story."
"Why don't you sit down and tell us while we have lunch," Felicia suggested.
"I wish..." She was cut off by her ringing cell phone. "Yeah," she said answering it.
"Robin?" Nikolas asked. She sighed.
"What do you want?"
"I need to know if either you or Zander have recieved envelopes filled with pictures of a little girl."
"I haven't," Robin said slowly. "Why, what's going on?"
"What about Zander?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen him since yesterday."
"Does he have a cell phone?"
"Of course, why?"
"Can you call and ask him?"
"Why don't you tell me what this is about, first?" She heard Nikolas sigh on the other end of the line.
"Last night I recieved an envelope full f pictures of a six year old girl. On the back, they said Lena Alexandria."
"Lena? As in Riley and Zander's daughter, Lena?"
"Yes."
"I'll call him," she said quickly, 'then I'll call you back. I'm pretty sure that if I tell him what you just told me that he'll want to help." She hung up before he could reply.
Quickly she looked up at Mac and Felicia. "I'm sorry, but I can't have lunch today."
"What's going on?"
"I'm not sure, but I have to go," she said before turning wnad walking away while dialing a number into her cell phone.

Zander found himself on the docks near Helena's yacht. He was about to board it when a voice stopped him.
"What are ya doin' kid?" Luke asked.
"It's none of your business," Zander said walking towards the yacht.
"Actually, I think it is," Luke replied appraoching him. "Ya see, I got this package here a little while ago," Luke showed him the manila envelope. "While it has pictures of my not-so-dead, best friend, it also has pictures of you with him and Robin, and his not-so-dead wife."
Zander sighed.
"Care to explain?" Luke asked.
"Now is not the time, I have business to conduct with Helena."
"Oh, I'm sure you do, but I'm comin with ya."
"Why?"
"From these pictures I can assume that you're Robert's son, and I know Robert would kill me if I let you get yourself killed by Helena when I could have stopped it."
"Fine," Zander said. Luke grinned and together they boarded Helena's yacht.
~~~
Nikolas sat in the library waiting impatiently for Robin to call him back about Zander. They had to know who all had gotten those pictures. Suddenly an idea occured to him. He dialed Jason and Riley's penthouse to see if Jason was there, he frowned when he got no answer. He didn't know Jason's cell phone number so instead he called the warehouse.
Jason answered the phone on the first ring.
"Morgan," he said.
"Jason, it Nikolas Casadine."
"Yeah," Jason said. "Where's Riley?"
"RIely's safe, she's here at Wyndemere. I need to know if you have recieved an envelope of pictures either there, at the warehouse or at the penthouse."
"No, why?"
"Are you sure?"
"Not about the penthouse because I haven't been there all day, why?"
"Can you have someone check the penthouse? I really need to know."
"If you tell me why I would get an envelope full of pictures."
Nikolas sighed. "Lena might be alive."
~~~
Luke and Zander walked into the stateroom to find Helena talking on the phone in Russian. Luke was about to walk over and hang up the phone but Zander stopped him.
"Why not?" Luke asked quietly.
Zander held up a hand to silence him as he listend to Helena's conversation.
~
"Come now, Cesar," Helena said in Russian. "It's all very simple. No, the girl will be brought to the compound tomorrow. It's already taken care of. The pictures have been sent. Our timoria has begun."
~
"Now," Zander said once Helena had hung up the phone.
"Hello Viper," Luke said.
"Luke," Helena smiled. She saw Zander behind him. "Zander."
"Helena." He tossed the pictures of Lena on the table in front of her. "Now why don't you tell me what really happened six years ago?"
~~~
Robin sighed in frustration when Zander wouldn't answer his phone. She hoped that he wouldn't do anything stupid like go after Helena, but that was most likely a waste of energy.
Her brother was impulsive and like their father, if his family was threatened, he was going after the source.
"Robin, Robin Scorpio?"
Robin spun around. "Yes, and you are?"
"I don't think you need to know that," the man said coming towards her.
"Actually, I do," Robin said forcefully.
"Fine, my name is Dylan Faison."
Robin Scorpio left Kelly's and began to walk through the park. It was a nice spring day and she enjoyed the warm weather, it was a great contrast to the cold weather of Canada that she had become accustomed to.
