Chapter 10
"Why should I?" Helena asked Zander menacingly.
"Do you really want to find out Helena?"
"You won't kill me until you find out where Lena is."
"I don't have to kill you to destroy you, Helena, you know that."
Helena smiled. "We shall see who finds Lena first. Actually, I'm curious to see who can follow the bread crumbs I've left."
"Who else knows?"
"Let's see?" Helena put her index finger on her chin and appeared to be deep in thought. "Stefan, Nikolas, Riley, Jason Morgan, and up until an hour ago, Irina."
~~~
"Faison?" Robin asked.
"Yes, Cesar Faison is my father," Dylan said. He moved closer to her until he had her trapped in front of a tree. She tried to move right but he blocked her path with his arm. "Don't make a sound," he whispered in her ear. "Not a sound, or your niece will die."
~~~
Frisco Jones left the hotel after finding out that neither Zander nor Robin were there. He headed towards Kelly's but took a shortcut through the park.
"Frisco?"
Frisco turned to see who had called his name.
"Princess," he said as Felicia walked up to him.
"How long have you been in town and how long do you plan on staying?" she asked, her hands on her hips.
~~~
Jason left the warehouse and went to Harborview Towers. Upon walking into the penthouse everything seemed normal. He approached the desk and found an envelope with his name waiting for him. Slowly, almost mechanically he reached for it and tore it open letting the pictures fall all over the desk.
~~~
Cesar Faison walked through the corridors of his compound. He eagerly anticipated his new arrivals. First it would Lena Cassadine and it would end with Anna, his Anna.
His revenge would be glorious. Everyone would feel the wrath of his rage with the deaths of the Spencers and the Scorpios. Everyone would know that he had won.
~~~
Stefan walked through Wyndemere looking for Nikolas. He had seen something in the pitures that may tell them where Lena and Irina had been living. He hadn't wanted to show Riley yet, but he would after talking to Nikolas.
He walked to the library and saw Nikolas inside waiting by one of the windows.
"I haven't heard anything yet," he told Stefan without turning around to face him. "I called Robin Scorpio and Jason Morgan, they are both checking."
"Very well, there is something here I think you should see."
~~~
"Felicia..." Frisco began but she cut him off.
"How long?"
"I've been in town for a few days."
"How long are you planning to stay?"
"I don't know, it depends on how long the kids are here."
"What kids?"
"I can't talk right now Felicia, I have something that needs to be taken care of."
"Too busy trying to save the world than to see your own daughters, Frisco?" Mac asked.
"Mac, I really don't have time for this, I have to find Robin."
"She just left, why?"
"Damn't," he said. "Do you know where she went?"
"No." Frisco sighed and walked away ignoring the comments that Mac threw at him. He had a bad feeling and he needed to find his goddaughter.
~~~
"What?" Nikolas asked walking towards his uncle.
"This," he said showing him a picture of Lena and Irina.
"Irina?" Nikolas asked looking at Stefan. "You don't think..."
"It is possible," Stefan said as Mrs. Landsbury walked into the room.
"Sirs, there is something downstairs that you need to see." They looked at each other before leaving the library.
~~~
Riley stayed in Stefan's study looking out over the water. The water always calmed her. She remember going down to the beach at night when she was pregnant. Those were the times she cherished. Things had been so simple then. All she had to worry about was making everyone believe that she was really pregnant with Nikolas' baby. It had been so simple.
She shook her head. She needed to focus. Lena needed her. Her daughter needed her. Making sure that no one was around she quickly grabbed her bag and slipped into the passage. She was going to have a little talk with Helena.
~~~
"Killing your own daughter now?" Zander asked sarcastically. "Why doesn't that surprise me?"
"Well, Irina should have been killed years ago, but I didn't feel that she had outlived her usefullness," Helena said.
"Where's Lena?"
"I don't know."
"You better remember very quickly Helena. I know you're working with Faison on this, you couldn't pull this off by yourself."
"And what makes you think that?"
"I know you Helena."
Helena smiled. "Folow the bread crumbs Zander, they will lead you to my grandaughter."
"She isn't your grandaughter," Zander said coldly. "She is my daughter and I will find her and when I do, I'll come back here and kill you." Zander turned and left the room. Luke looked at Helena.
"I'd listen to him. After all, he is Robert Scorpio's son." Luke gave her a cold smile before he left too.
~~~
After Jason left the penthouse, he found himself in the park. He needed to talk to Riley, but he didn't want to deal with Nikolas' overprotectiveness. He needed to see her, he needed to talk to her, to help her.
He knew what the implications of Lena being alive were. First they would have to find her. Zander would be around, so would Nikolas. He was still trying to accept the fact the Riley had gone with Nikolas instead of coming to him. He could have helped her. He heard an two voices up the path. One was familiar and noticeably feminine, the other he didn't recognize.
~~~
Robin didn't say anything else. Dylan smiled at her.
"Good girl. Now you and I are going to walk out of the park and to my car. If you try to run, Lena will die, if you screa or ask anyone for help, Lena will die. Right now her life is in your hands."
Robin nodded. He pulled her away from the tree and forced her to stand bside him just as Jason came up the path.
"What's going on here, Robin?" he asked looking at the man who held on to her tightly.
"Nothing," she said, her eyes betraying her words.
"Who are you?" he asked Dylan.
"A friend," Dylan answered. "Now if you'll excuse us..."
"I don't think so," Jason said. He had been looking at Robin and peiced together what was going on from what he had heard and what he was now seeing. "Robin and I have some things to discuss in private, if you don't mind."
"Actually, I do," Dylan said. "We have to go, now."
"You're not going anywhere," Frisco said holding a gun to the back of Dylan's head.
Dylan pushed Robin away from him towards Jason and turned to face Frisco. He lunged at the older man, Frisco's gun dropped to the ground. Jason tried to pull Dylan away from Frisco.
Robin suddenly screamed as several shots rang out. All three men fell to the ground.
After the shots, silence reigned.
~~~
Riley stepped onto Helena's yacht after she made sure that Luke and Zander were gone. Her little talk with Helena was just going to be between them. She was going to find out everything she wanted to know.
"Hello Helena," she said walking into the stateroom.
"Riley, how wonderful to see you," Helena said with fake sweetness.
"What do you want Helena?"
Helena smiled. "I think you already know dear."
"Dammit Helena, stop this. All of this. Tell me where my daughter is."
"Now why should I do that?"
Riley smiled. "Because, Helena, I know your little secret. I'd hate to think what would happen if anyone ever found out about that."
~~~
Stefan and Nikolas followed Mrs. Landbury into the sitting room where Irina's body was sitting in one of the chairs.
"She's dead," Stefan said. "And she was the one who raised Lena."
"I need to go tell Riley," Nikolas said leaving the room.
~~~
Sonny walked into his office at the warehouse. Benny followed him and stood near the door.
"Find Jason, he's not answering his cell phone," Sonny said pouring himself a drink.
"Okay," Benny said.
"Double the guards on Carly and Micheal and place some guards on Riley. Sorrell has made a mistake threatening my family."
"I'll take care of it and I'll send someone out to find Jason."
Sonny nodded before Benny left the room. He sat behind his desk and downed his drink. Sorrell had made a mistake and he was going to pay dearly for it.
~~~
"Stupidity," Faison screamed. "You insufferable..." he stopped. "I gave you specific instructions. Make it look real. I told you not to endanger my son's life."
"Sir," the man said over the phone. "You must understand..."
"Oh I understand perfectly. YOu will pay dearly for your mistake if my son is in any way harmed."
Faison slammed the phone down. "Casper," he called out. A young man stepped into the room.
"Sir?"
"Call ahead, have the pilot prepare the jet. Have Leilani prepare the child. We leave tonight."
"Why should I?" Helena asked Zander menacingly.
"Do you really want to find out Helena?"
"You won't kill me until you find out where Lena is."
"I don't have to kill you to destroy you, Helena, you know that."
