A new face out of the race
Chapter 17
Luke parked the car a little way from the compound. He got out and closed the door quietly and leaned against it. Jason did the same and looked at the compound. It was square like with two stories. The windows were covered with cardboard. The structure itself would have made a great haunted house. It screamed 'Stay away!" But Jason and Luke wouldn't let the outside scare them. They were on a mission. They came to get their teenage children.
"This is a trap you know." Jason stated the obvious. Anyone could see this was a trap.
"I know, but Helena's traps usually fail." Luke said and put his car keys in his pocket.
"I'll take your word on that." Jason said. "So what do we do now?" He asked.
"We walk in and get our kids out of there." Luke simply explained.
"There has to more to it that that." Jason stated. It was much too simple.
Luke shook his head. "Its not. Helena got Emily to get to Lucky to finally get to me. Helena set this meeting up. There's no doubt about it."
"So were just going to walk in?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, Helena will be expecting us." Luke said.
"How do you know that?" Jason questioned.
"That's the way Helena is. If she acts without a warning, and went through all these kidnappings she has definitely been planning this. I don't know how long though." Luke answered.
"It's hard to say. You haven't seen or heard from her in a while. I figured she took a break." Jason said. He didn't expect Helena to use Emily in her plans either. Helena picked a good time to pull off her plan too. He hated to admit it, but she did.
Luke sighed heavily. "It doesn't matter. I have a feeling I will soon get all the answers I want."
"What makes you say that?" Jason asked.
"I could say it was Spencer instinct, but I'm not sure if that's true. But those men coming out of Helena's lair was my first clue." Luke pointed around the corner.
The men were wearing black pants, white shirts with gold buttons, black dockers, and walked a steady pace. They were quickly approaching Luke and Jason.
Jason looked over at Luke, who was just relaxing against the car. "You do have a plan right?" He asked.
Luke thought for a second and then answered. "Not really. I'm just playing this out as it goes." Luke said.
Jason stared at Luke, appalled. Is he mad? They were facing Helena Cassadine for goodness sake! Not to mention Helena was planning this for a long time. He would feel a lot safer and confident if they had, but they had little time, because the Helena's men were getting closer by the second. He'd just have to just trust Luke to get everyone out of this situation, he decided as he came face to face with one of Helena's men.
A man with dark brown hair looked straight at Luke. "Mrs. Cassadine would like to see you." He said glaring at Luke.
"Lead the way." Luke said and motioned for them to do as he said. Two of the men started, but two walked behind Luke and Jason. As they entered the nearly abandoned building, Luke looked back at Jason. The inside of the building was more of a hotel lobby with bright colors and furniture. In the middle was a grand staircase like the one on the titanic it even had the blood red carpets. Moments later footsteps were heard. They looked up as Helena came down the stairs. She was wearing a royal purple suit with a skirt. She had a purple beaded necklace, amethyst earrings, and a bracelet with purple beads as accessories.
"Luke! Darlin'!" Helena called happily. "It's so good to see you!"
"I can't say I agree with that last sentence." Luke said. Who would when the only reason you're here is to get your son? That she kidnapped.
"Oh! You brought a friend!" Helena smiled and studied Jason. Jason just glared at her.
Helena looked back at Luke. "He doesn't seem happy to see me does he?" She frowned, but perked up immediately. "Oh, well. He doesn't really matter, now does he? Now if we can go to my office and talk our business you can be on your way." She started to walk away, but stopped when she saw Luke not following.
"There's only one way you're getting me into your office Helena." Luke said threatenly.
"What's that?" Helena frowned for a moment, thinking. "Oh, yes. You want to see your son."
"Close Helena, but not close enough." Luke commented with tension. "I want to see him and I want to let him go along with Emily."
Helena thought for a second. "I could let Lucas Lorenzo Spencer go, but his girlfriend has to stay." She figured.
Jason's eyes darkened and his hands clenched into fists. "Why?" Luke demanded trying not to get Jason get too involved.
"Why?" Helena asked and her face scrunched up in thought. "It seems my young companion has become quite infatuated with the girl. Lord know why, but he is." Helena shrugged. "Besides Mrs. Morgan kicked her out, where is she to go if I did?" Helena asked.
Luke saw Jason's fists unclench with that thought. Where would she go?
