Chapter 13
"Now," Melanie said, "I go back to my home and wait for this to be over."
Sean raised his eyebrows. "Really? And how do you expect to do that since we both know that Helena will be out to kill you?"
She smiled. "That is a Cassadine's secret, Sean. I can take care of myself and my family."
She pushed him aside and got into her limo. "I'll be in touch Sean," she said as he closed the door. The limo drove away as Sean walked back into the church. People were beginning to leave already and Sean pushed past them to get to Luke and Robert.
"That was interesting Sean," Robert said. "How did you get Melanie to agree to help you?"
~~~
"Who was that?" Nikolas asked Stefan.
"Your great aunt Melana," Stefan said. "Let us go to Wyndemere."
~~~
"It took a lot of convincing," Sean said. Robert raised his eyebrows.
"You threatened her."
"Robert, what could I possibly threaten her with?" Sean asked innocently.
"I don't know, but I'll find out," Robert said with a small grin. "So what exactly is Melanie helping us with?"
"She has something on Helena. That's all I know. When I contacted her about this she said she'd help us."
Robert shook his head.
~~~
Melanie walked into Wyndemere. No one was back yet and she walked around some. The dark dreary place dampened her mood almost immediately. She went into Stefan's study when her cell phone rang.
"Melanie Larsen. When?" She heard something behind her and turned to see Stefan, Alexis, Nikolas, and Gia enter the room. "Forward those documents to Sean Donelly and Robert Scorpio. Good." She hung up and turned her attention to her family.
"Why are you here?" Stefan demanded.
Melanie sighed. "That does not concern you Stefan," she said. She moved past him and left the room. Stefan followed her.
"Melana!" She turned at the bottom of the stairs.
"Fiona is awaiting your arrival," she said before leaving. Stefan sucked in a beath.
"Fiona." He turned and went back up to the study.
~~~
Luke wheeled Laura back to her room at the hospital.
"That was an interesting service," Laura said.
Luke smiled. "At least we brought Helena out of hiding."
"Yeah. Maybe one day we can all be a family."
~~~
Stefan walked back into the study and went over to the desk. He pulled a key out of his pocket and opened up a drawer. He pulled out a small book and slid it into his pocket.
"I'll be back later," he told Nikolas, Gia, and Alexis before leaving.
~~~
Lucky and Liz went to Kelly's after the service. Lucky was having a hard time trying to digest everything.
"Elizabeth? Lucky?" Came a woman's voice from behind them. They both turned.
~~~
Sean, Robert, and Anna went into the closed Outback. Mac and Felicia were waiting for them.
"Little brother," Robert said sadly.
Felicia stood up and hugged him and Anna. Sean stole one last glance at them before answering his ringing cell phone.
"Donelly. When?" He glanced at Robert and Anna. "Secure the area. No one gets in, no one gets out." He hung up and spoke to Anna in Russian. "They're fine, but they were attacked. Meet me at the hotel in an hour and I'll explain." He left.
~~~
"Sarah?" Liz asked. She stood up and hugged her sister who returned the hug. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm interning at GH." She turned to Lucky. "I heard about your sister. I"m sorry."
Lucky only nodded.
~~~ An hour later
Anna and Robert walked into Sean's hotel room. "What happened?" Robert asked.
"Frisco called and said that someone got on the grounds at Wildwind. The security team got to them before they could reach the house. We're not sure who they were looking or who they work for."
"Well do you know who They are?" Anna asked.
"Sasha Tomich, Yuri Vasilev, Igor Skulsky, and Karlov Andreev."
"All Russian?" Robert asked.
"Appearantly."
"It's Helena and Lieman. They've made their move."
"And we must make ours."
~~~
An hour outside of Port Charles, there is an abandoned house near the coast. Stefan drove, not needing a map or directions. He knew exactly where he was going. He pulled to the side of the road about two hundred yards away from the house and walked the rest of the way.
As he approached the door opened and Melanie stood, watching him.
"Where is Fiona?" He asked.
"Inside. She has been waiting," Melanie replied with a small smile. He couldn't help but to give her a hug.
"Where have you been?" He asked in Russian.
"Around, I'll tell you later. Now, Fiona is waiting. Go, go," she said, pushing him inside.
Stefan walked inside the house, not knowing what to expect. He walked into a room and found a woman sitting with her back turned to him.
"Fiona?"
"Now," Melanie said, "I go back to my home and wait for this to be over."
Sean raised his eyebrows. "Really? And how do you expect to do that since we both know that Helena will be out to kill you?"
