A/N This is a short chapter, but I just wanted to set the scene for the next chapter which will be long and adventurous. I will, to say the least, reveal the identity of Riley's Parisian friend and soon I'll explain her connection to the Spencers and Robert and Anna's secrets...
That should give ya something to think about...
Okay, I'm done talkin now, on to...
Chapter 13
Carly stared at Riley, waiting for an answer. Riley sighed, not wanting to get into that conversation at that moment, but she had no other choice. "Luke and I have had a common goal for a while."
"What?"
"Killing Faison."
~~~
Leilani and her cousin walked onto the private jet and were greeted by a not so dead Robert Scorpio.
"What are you doing here?" Leilani asked.
"We're coming too," Anna Devane-Scorpio said.
"Why?"
"Because we're your superiors and we can Sly."
~~~
Luke Spencer sat behind his desk and waited for his cell phone to ring informing him of the whereabouts of his cousin's son. It had been four years since Sly Eckert had informed him of his decision to join the WSB. Luke had just shook his head and complained about now having feds in the family. Sly had jusy ignored him knowing that he wasn't the only WSB agent in the family.
Luke sighed when someone knocked on the door. "Yeah, whatta ya want?"
Lucky walked in. "What's going on dad?"
"Whatta ya mean?"
"I mean, why did I just get a call from Sly asking me to find his sister?"
"I dunno," Luke said, trying to put the pieces together. What was Sly up to?
~~~
Carly tried to figure out if Riley was joking or not. "I know why Luke wants him dead, but why do you?"
Riley sighed. "It's a long story. A very long story."
"Pray tell."
Riley shook her head as Sonny walked towards them. "Jason's out of surgery. They said he's going to be fine."
~~~
Leilani grinned. "Stop being so mean to my cousin," she told Robert. "His feelings are hurt easily."
"Shut up, Lee," Sly said plopping himself down in a nearby seat. Robert and Leilani laughed.
"How's Riley?" LeiLani asked.
"We don't know and we won't until Frisco or Zander get to the hospital," Anna said looking at Sly.
"What? It wasn't my fault. Frisco was in the way, I was aiming for Morgan and Dylan."
Robert sighed. "Can we not get into this discussion?"
"Robert's right. We need to discuss Lena and Riley."
"Protection has already been arranged," Anna added. "The Cassadines are being watched. We'll know when either side makes a move."
"We know what Riley will do," Leilani said sitting down next to Sly.
"He's being watched too. Hopefully he'll take care of Helena so we can concentrate on Faison."
"So what now?"
"We wait," Robert sighed.
~~~
Riley watched from afar as Jason was transferred into a private room. She didn't want to go see him yet, she had phone calls to make. She knew that her friend would be arriving soon and he would take care of Helena for her so she could concentrate on finding Lena. She didn't want the Cassadines to interfere. She knew they would, but she would have to find a way to stop them.
She didn't want to ask her brother to stop them, she wanted to handle this on her own. She knew that he was most likely on his way to PC at that moment and that he would order protection for her.
She ran a hand through her hair wondering how she got into this situation in the first place. Six years she had been just another young woman trapped on Cassadine Island, then she was suddenly offered the chance to leave for a few weeks. She took it and traveled. She met Zander and they had their little tryst, he left as soon as he found out about her Cassadine connections.
After she left the island she went to Canada and found her younger brother. He'd been shocked to see her but had welcomed her with open arms. A year later she had left. She spent a year in Russia, then a few months in Spain, six in Paris, one in Italy. Almost three years after she'd left Canada, her brother found her with the help of their cousin who also was connected to the Cassadines.
It was a strange circle. After her run-in with her family she figured out an interesting truth. There was a Cassadine staying in Paris. He knew her by name and knew her every secret and he wanted her help. She didn't trust him because of the stories she had heard about him from Stefan, but as she heard him out she realized that Helena had to pay dearly for everything.
So began her plot to systematically destroy Helena. And she had succeeded thus far with her brother's help. The little incident in Guam the only exception.
With a weary sigh, Riley pushed herself away from the wall. Her phone calls could wait. She needed to see Jason, to feel his strength, his touch. She would find out who tried to kill him and they would pay.
That should give ya something to think about...
