A new face out of the race
Chapter 9
Lucky wrapped his hands around him as he walked around Port Charles. Jason had called him late in the night asking him if he knew where Emily was.
*Flashback* Lucky gripped his blanket tight around himself as he turned in his sleep. He was having a nightmare. He jumped up as his cell rang. He breathed hard and looked over at the clock. It was midnight. He leaned over and picked it up. "Hello?" He said.
"Sorry to wake you Lucky." The voice said.
Lucky recognized the voice automatically. It was Jason.
"Jason? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?" Lucky asked as he rubbed his temples.
"I was wondering if Emily was with you." Jason sighed deeply in the phone.
"No, why? Is she alright?" Lucky was fully awake now. If anything was wrong with Emily... Then he remembered his nightmare. He was walking around in darkness calling for Emily, but she never called back.
Jason's answer brought him away from remembering his nightmare more. "I don't know, I was hoping she came to you after she screamed bloody murder at us, not that I blame her, we deserved it."
"What happened?" Lucky said, hoping out of bed. He grabbed his shoes, shirt and his coat. He tugged his shirt on quicker than he ever had, even when his family was on the run. He sat back down on the bed and tied his shoes while having his shoulder hold his cell phone near his ear.
"I'm not too sure. We were talking during dinner and after a comment Emily made, Brenda got mad." Jason explained.
"What was the comment?" Lucky asked, interrupting Jason's explanation.
"Emily called Melissa a brat I believe." Jason answered.
"No offense Jason, but she is." Lucky said cautiously. He didn't want to sound rude and disrespectful, but it was the truth. A truth that should have been told long ago, so that this situation wouldn't of happened. Emily would be in the penthouse sleeping and him still sleeping. But it didn't happen that way.
"I know. Anyway Brenda told her to apologize, and she declined and then started off saying how Melissa was treated compared to her, how Brenda pretended everything was okay and how I only adopted her because I felt guilty I killed her last family member. Worst of all, she compared me to her dad." Jason's voice stopped there, not willing words to come after that sentence.
Lucky's mouth just about dropped when he heard the last sentence Why would Emily say something like that? Sure, she was ignored by Jason more than she liked, but he was not even close to what her dad was like. "What happened after that?" Lucky rubbed his face. He had a feeling she was about to burst. He felt bad for Melissa, Jason and Brenda, but won't deny that they deserved it.
"Brenda told her to leave if she felt that way." Jason finished.
"And she did it gladly." Lucky guessed. He finished tying his shoes, put on his coat that held his keys.
"Actually that was her exact words." Lucky could imagine what Jason was doing now. Pacing the penthouse.
Lucky quietly opened the window and climbed through it. "What happened after she left?"
"Brenda put Melissa to bed, and we argued a bit. Brenda said Emily would be back in an hour. I don't want Emily out alone. Especially at this time of night, and I don't think she took a coat with her either." Jason sounded really worried.
Lucky leaned back against the house and thought. She had no coat with this wind supposedly? That wasn't good. Dinner would have been around six, so she would be missing about six hours. That wasn't good either.
*End Flashback*
So here he was walking around Port Charles for any sign of her. He looked over at his watch. It was 3 am. He'd been looking for three hours, and still he hadn't found her. That equaled nine hours missing. Why did Jason call him so late? He was starting to get really worried. He sighed heavily and sat on a bench. He'd checked everywhere he thought she would go. He'd do anything to hear or know she was okay too. He sighed heavily again. Where was she?
Author: Hey, thanks for the reviews. I was meaning to get this chapter up sooner, but I've had a lot to do. It will be that way for a few weeks, so please be patient with me. I have nothing more to say than to please keep reviewing, it is appreciated.
