Chapter 10
The area was filled with silence after the gunshots stopped. Then chaos reigned as doctors and nurses came running out of the hospital and towards the fallen.
Tony Jones reached his brother.
"Frisco!"
Robert and Anna followed Tony. They all looked at each other. What had just happened?
~~~
Stefan knocked on the door to his sister's penthouse. Sonny answered. Stefan walked in and went over to Alexis who was sitting on the sofa crying.
"Alexis?"
She lifted her head. "Stefan?" He nodded. "They lied to us. They told us that he died."
~~~
Robert picked Gia up and helped her steady herself as Nikolas and Lucky did the same. Lucky helped Liz stand.
"You okay?" He asked her. She nodded.
Zander stood up and helped Jordan stand.
"What the hell was that?" He asked.
She looked around, her eyes landed on a sign right behind them. "Our warning." She turned to Zander and Robert. "The stakes have been raised."
~
Tony helped his little brother stand up. "I swear Frisco, you've got more lives than a cat."
Frisco gave his brother a lopsided grin.
~
Luke stood up with Lucky's help. He walked over to Lisa Marie. She was shaken but otherwise fine. He wrapped his arms around her in a protective hug.
~~~
"Who are you talking about Alexis?" Stefan asked.
She stood up and began to pace the room. "He's alive, Stefan. I can't believe it...well considering Helena, I can."
"Who are you talking about Alexis?" Stefan repeated.
"My son Alexander."
~
Sonny stood listening to the ongoing conversation as his phone rang.
"Corinthos."
"Boss?" It was David, one of Sonny's employees.
"Yeah, David."
"There was a shooting at the hospital."
"Who was involved?"
David listed them all.
~
Across the room Stefan had recieved a similar phone call.
"I'll be there in a few minutes," he said before he turned the phone off.
"What happened?" Alexis asked.
"There was a shooting at the hospital, Nikolas and Gia were involved."
Alexis nodded and grabbed her coat.
"Alexis..." Stefan started, but she was already out the door as was Sonny.
~~~
"What do you mean Jordan?" Anna asked.
"Look at that sign. Luke was standing right in front of it when the shooting started," Jordan replied. Realization hit Robert.
"There would be bullet holes," he said quietly.
~
"Shh, it's okay Starshine," Luke whispered.
"Okay, Dad, what just happened?" Lucky asked walking over to them.
~~~
Mac Scorpio arrived at GH minutes after the shooting was over. Seeing Luke and Zander proved his theory that it could be mob related.
~~~
Zander and Anna looked at the sign as well. "Blanks?" Zander asked. "It looks like Lieman."
"Lieman?" Jordan asked.
~
Nikolas, Liz, and Gia also approached Luke and Lisa Marie. "Yeah, Luke, what did you do now?" Nikolas asked.
~
Zander looked at Jordan and nodded. She sighed.
"We're going to have fun," she said.
"No, WE are going to have fun," Sean said walking up to the group. "Zander is taking you and Robin to Pine Valley."
"No Sean," Jordan said.
Zander stifled a laugh. Jordan glared at him.
"You're not helping," she said.
"I'm not trying to," Zander said.
"Jordan, just go," Robert said.
"Are you trying to get rid of me?" She asked, hiding a smile.
"Yes," he said.
Jordan gave up and laughed.
"Fine, I'll go to Pine Valley. What about Lisa Marie Spencer?"
"Talk to Luke," Robert said. Jordan laughed as she walked away from the group and over to Frisco.
~~~
Stefan, Sonny, and Alexis arrived at almost the same time as Mac. "Why are you here Corinthos?" Mac asked.
"I heard there was a shooting," Sonny said innocently.
~~~
After making sure that Frisco was his usual self, Jordan walked over to Luke and Lisa Marie. Lucky, Nikolas, Liz, and Gia were near also. Jordan let out a breath and approached them.
"Is everyone okay?" She asked as she approached.
"Like you care," Gia said. Jordan rolled her eyes.
Nikolas watched Jordan. She seemed different than she had been when he'd first seen her. For one, she wasn't wearing the designer clothes she had been earlier. She was now dressed in jeans and a sweater. Her stance had changed as had her voice.
"Actually, I do," Jordan said as Robert walked over to them.
"Hey, Robbie," Luke said.
"Mate," he replied. "Jordan, Zander and I talked to Alex, she's expecting all of you by tomorrow morning."
Jordan nodded.
"Luke, I need to talk to you," Robert said. Luke nodded and followed him away from the group.
~
"Are you the cause of the shooting?" Mac asked Sonny.
Sonny let out a breath. He was about to say something when Robin walked up to them.
"Hi Uncle Mac," she said.
"Robin? What are you doing here?"
~
"Whadda ya need Robbie?" Luke asked.
"I've got Robin and Jordan going to Pine Valley tonight. Do you want them to take Lisa Marie with them until this is over?"
Luke turned away for a moment then turned back to Robert.
~
"Long story Uncle Mac," Robin said.
"Care to explain?"
"Sorry, I don't have the time," she replied.
"Why is that?" Mac asked.
"Long story."
"Hello Robin," Sonny said.
~
"Who's going with them?" Luke asked.
"Zander," Robert answered. As if on cue, Zander walked up.
Luke looked at both of them. "Okay." He turned and walked away.
"Lisa Marie?" Zander asked.
"Yeah, she's going with you." Zander nodded.
"I better go round up everyone. We need to get outta here," Zander said. Robert nodded. Zander walked away.
~
"Sonny," Robin said coldly. She didn't bother to try to hide her feelings from him. She was about to say something else when Zander walked up.
"Zander," she said.
"Robin," he said glancing at everyone else. "We're leaving in ten minutes."
"Does Alex know?"
"Yeah, we called her. She's expecting us there by early morning."
"Was she mad?"
"Not terribly. She does want to talk to you," he said smiling. She glared at him as he walked away.
"What was that about?" Alexis asked.
~
Robert walked over to Anna who was talking to Sean.
"So do we know who Lieman is and how he's connected to Zander and Jordan?" He asked.
"No, not yet, but their adoptive parents worked on a bunch of cases together. I called the bureau and we've got some people looking into it," Sean said.
Robert nodded. "They're leaving in a few minutes," he said to Anna. She nodded and followed him.
~
Zander, Lisa Marie, and Jordan walked over to Sean.
"Well, well, well, just the two people I was looking for."
"What now Sean?" Jordan asked.
"What connection do you have to Lieman?"
Zander and Jordan looked at each other. Zander shook his head and walked away. Lisa Marie followed him. Jordan turned to Sean.
"James Lieman is the man who killed Chris and Gwen."
Realization hit Sean.
"Zander pretends that it doesn't bother him, but the truth is, is that it does. He just doesn't show it," Jordan said.
"And Faison ordered the hits?" Sean asked.
Jordan looked away. "Yeah. I need to go, Sean." He nodded and she walked away.
He pulled out his cell phone. "Get everything you can on the deaths of Chris and Gwen Smith."
~
"That's an even longer story Alexis," Robin said.
"Why don't all of you leave her alone?" Luke asked walking up to the group.
"Spencer," Sonny said.
"Well, this is an interesting group," Luke said. He smiled. "We got the local mob, the police commish, and two blood suckers. And we can never forget Robin here."
Robin glared at him.
"Careful there Mate, she may just hit you," Robert said as he and Anna walked over to the group. Everyone turned towards them. Robin smiled and went over to them. They hugged.
"You should be going," Anna said. Robin nodded and left after another hug from both of her parents.
"Robert?" Mac asked.
The area was filled with silence after the gunshots stopped. Then chaos reigned as doctors and nurses came running out of the hospital and towards the fallen.
