A New Face in the Race Chapter 7

Unknown Location

"Well your." Lucky figured, "How old are you?"

"I'll be twelve in a few weeks. Not that anyone cares", the girl stated.

"Twelve is nothing."

"Yeah." She agreed, "Your twelve then?"

"Yeah, since a few months ago."

"So you're here for revenge", she pondered.

"Yeah, I have no idea what's going on between my dad and yours."

"Did he say something specific?"

"Just that my dad's club made him broke."

"Your dad owns a club?" The girl asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to run it someday when I'm older."

"Must have good business." She concluded.

"Yeah, a good crowd every night." Lucky stated.

"Your only twelve how can you get in?"

"That's an advantage of having your dad the boss."

"Yeah, right." The girl looked away.

"It's funny we have learned minor things about each other but no major things like names." She speculated.

"Lucky Spencer."

"Lucky? Luck doesn't seem to be running your way."

"Tell me about it."

"So is that a nickname?"

"Yeah, I don't like my name really."

"Can't be that bad." She pressed on.

"My full name is Lucas Lorenzo Spencer Junior."

"Ah, a junior. Your dad's name is Luke then."

"Yeah."

"I bet you act and look like him then."

"Act yes, look no. Most of my physical features come from my mom."

"Miss her?"

"Greatly. But it's nice to see a friendly face."

"Friendly face, me?"

"It's better than those guards or your father."

"Anyone is better than my dad."

"He doesn't treat you very well does he?"

"I fend for myself." She stated briefly, clearly not wanting to talk about it.

Lucky sensed this. He didn't want her to go and leave him alone down here in this dark, cold room.

A slamming door broke the silence between them. The girl immediately got up to leave.

"Wait," Lucky said gently grabbing her arm.

"I can't my dad will kill me if he finds me down here."

He didn't take that sentence lightly.

"Okay just tell me your name first." Lucky dropped his hand that was keeping her there.

"Emily Bowen." This "Emily" said and quickly retreated up the stairs, out the door. Leaving Lucky once again alone in this cold, damp room.

Luke's

Jason and Luke were looking through a Port Charles map. Jason was getting frustrated when something clicked.

"Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"When we were looking around your club you know that alley?"

"Yeah." Luke said, not knowing where Jason's questions were going.

"Do you think that might be where the club was?"

"Why would someone put a club in an alley?" Luke wondered.

"Maybe he has something to hide." Jason suggested.

"That makes sense." Luke agreed.

"Also another reason he probably went bankrupt, it needs to be in the open to get business."

"Let's check it out." Luke said quickly and grabbed his coat. As did Jason, but he knew whenever Luke met this Bowen person, he was might need a lawyer.
