Chapter 11
Faison watched the young woman before him as she quickly got everything ready for their departure.
"Leilani," he called out. She looked up, slightly startled and smiled.
"Cesar," she said. "She's ready."
"I see," he said. "Come with me Leilani, you and I have a few things to discuss."
~~~
Mac heard several gunshots. He pushed Felicia, Maxie, and Georgie to the ground until long after they had stopped. Then he got up, pulled out his cell phone and ran towards the area where the shots had come from.
~~~
"And what secret woul that be?" Helena asked.
"About your daughter," Riley said making heself comfortable. "And your son." She laughed at the expression on Helena's face. "Come now Helena. What do you think I did after Lena 'died'? I wanted, needed something to use against you so I read all of your journals. I know a lot of things about you Helena."
"And what makes you think that I care about what you know?"
Riley smiled. "Because I've heard many stories about Luke Spencer. I have a feeling that if I tell him what I know...well, you get the picture."
"Go ahead, tell him."
"No," Riley said. "You want me to, I won't be a weapon in your war. Just be forewarned Helena, I know many of your secrets including who really killed Mikkos. I do believe that there isn't a stature of limitations on muder even if the victim was trying to take over the world, however we both know that wasn't true. Tread carefully Helena. I will find my daughter and when I do Robert Scorpio will find out about what really happened the day Mikkos died." Riley stood up and left.
Helena was seething with anger. "Andreas," she called out. "Prepare a meeting with Mr. Sorrell."
~~~
Luke Spencer watched as Zander paced in front of him. "You're wearin' a hole in my floor," he said wearily.
Zander glared at him.
Luke shrugged his shoulders and sighed. "Look, if you're goin after Hells you're gonna need help. I suggest that you call Robbie and the two of ya get with Jones and unfortunatly with Cassadine and find a way to get your kid back."
~~~
"Is there something you needed Cesar?" Leilani asked, brushing a strand of her blond hair away from her face. He blue eyes shown with curiousity.
Faison smiled at her. "Leilani, I need another favor from you."
"I owe you my life Cesar, I'll always help you."
"Well then, I need you to go to Port Charles."
"Why?"
"To keep an eye on your father."
~~~
Joseph Sorrell threw the phone across the room. His second in comand barely got out of the way before it hit him.
"Is something wrong?"
Sorrell glared at him. "Helena has demanded my presence at her yatch."
"And?"
"And I must go. It seems that the people Faison hired messed up."
"If Morgan was injured shouldn't that be enough?"
"No, he has to be killed and it has to look mob-related. Helena most likely wants me to take care of him if he survived this."
"Do we know anyhting yet?"
"No, but we will."
The man nodded.
~~~
Robin ran towards Jason when the shooting stopped. Even though she hated him, her doctor's detachment took over as she checked for a pulse. She breathed a sigh of releif when she found a weak, but steady pulse. She looked up to see Mac running towards them. She didn't pay him much attention as she checked Frisco out. He had a cut above his brow where a bullet had grazed his head. His pulse was strong but he was unconscious.
She saw Mac talking on the phone as she checked for a pulse on the man who had tried to kidnap her. He was dead.
~~~
"I do not consider him my father," Leilani said.
"I understand that," Faison said with a sickening smile. "But for my plan to work, you must accept him as your father."
She sighed. "Of course. When do I leave?"
~~~
Riley was walking along the docks when she sensed someone following her. SHe whirled around and saw Max. She stopped and he walked towards her.
"Has something happened?" she asked worriedly, thinking about all the things that Helena could've have ordered her men to do to Jason.
"We don't know, Miss Charles, but I was ordered to protect you."
"Why?"
"Sorrell."
She sighed. First Helena and now the mob. What was next?
~~~
Mac wrapped his arms around Robin as they watched the paramedics work on Jason. He had been shot three times. Once in the abdomen and twice in the chest. Frisco's wound just required a few stitches and a bandage but he was being taken to the hospital anyway for observation. Robin had a feeling that Tony was going to give him hell. Dylan Faison was decleard dead. There was nothing that could be done. He had been shot once but the bullet punctured his heart. He died almost instantly.
She sighed and pulled away from Mac. She still needed to find Zander. She needed to know what was going on. It had something to do with Nikolas' phone call, she was sure.
She had dialed Zander's cell phone ten times only to get voice mail.
"Robin, do you want Felicia to take you home?" Mac asked.
"No," she said. "I have to..."
"Robin? What's going on here?" Zander asked walking up. She turned to face him.
"I have two questions for you, brother of mine," she said hearing Mac yell "What?" in the background. "One, where the hell have you been, and two what the hell is going on?"
~~~
After Leilani made arrangements to leave for Port Charles she walked into her private quarters and pulled a small device from her pocket. After scanning the room, satisfied that there were no listening devices she pulled out her cell phone and dialed a familiar number.
"Hey , it's me. I know. I've officially been sent to PC to get ot know my father better. Probably. How is he holding up? Okay. I don't know where they're going. I don't think Faison trusts me any more. Sure, I'll be there in a few hours. It's already arranged. See ya then. Bye."
She hung up and leaned agaisnt the wall with a sigh.
~~~
Riley walked into the penthouse. It was quiet, but that was what she needed. She needed to think of the best way to neutralize Helena with what she had. She knew her secrets or at least about her children and she had something that Helena wanted.
She smiled. "A trade. Once Princess for another."
She picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Hey, I need you to do something for me."
~~~
Zander sighed. "Long story," he said. "What happened here?" He asked worried because he'd seen Jason loaded onto an ambulance.
"Don't worry, Riley wasn't here. She's most likely at Wyndemere since that's where she was earlier when I got a call from Nikolas."
"So you know about Lena?"
"Not everything, but I've pieced together that she's alive and that Helena and Faison have something to do with it."
"Pretty much."
"There's more, isn't there?"
"Isn't there always?"
"True," she said with a sigh.
"What's going on here?" Mac demanded.
~~~
After Riley hung up the phone she grabbed her purse and walked out to the terrace. It wasn't too high but it was still too high to jump if she had too. She knew that Max and Johnny were out in the hall. She had no way to leave the penthouse unless...
She smiled to herself and walked confidently out of the penthouse. She needed to speak with Nikolas anyway.
She walked out into the hallway and saw Sonny walking towards her. He had a grim look on his face.
"Sonny, what's wrong?"
"Riley," he said, "it's Jason."
~~~
Robin and Zander looked at each other as Mac watched them. "Well, Uncle Mac," Robin began. She looked at Zander who was trying to surpress his grin. "Zander here is my brother."
"I gathered that much," Mac said coldly. "How?"
"Dad," Robin answered looking at her brother.
~~~
Leilani walked into the airport. A seat on the first plane to Port Charles was reserved for her. She nodded to the woman who was going to take her place on the flight as she walked to the ticket counter.
"I need to be on your first flight to Toronto, Ontario."
~~~
"What happened?" Riley asked.
"There was a shooting at the park. He was hurt pretty bad."
"Do they know anything?"
"Not yet, he's on his way to the hospital."
"I want to go."
He nodded and they walked towards the elevator.
~~~
In a hotel room in Paris, a man walked over to a safe and opened it. From it he extracted a black silk pouch which appeared to contain a single item. He opened the pouch and pulled the item out. It was the largest uncut diamond in the world, the Ice Princess.
"I will have my revenge Helena. You shall not escape my wrath again." He smiled demonically and put the diamond back in the pouch. He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket. "Riley, my plans have changed. I'll be in Port Charles within the week. I will get your daughter back for you and get my revenge on Helena."
Faison watched the young woman before him as she quickly got everything ready for their departure.
"Leilani," he called out. She looked up, slightly startled and smiled.
"Cesar," she said. "She's ready."
