It could take years to find you
Chapter 3
Lucky was walking the circumference of the room, talking to Elizabeth while he waited for the information he needed to show up on his laptop.
"Liz..." Lucky said into the phone patiently. Elizabeth was going off and on about his mission to find the truth even though she trusted and understood it, even possibly supporting it if their unborn child wasn't as she said, in the way.
"I know, calm down, at least for the baby's sake." Lucky trying to soothe her worries, which was currently unsuccessful. "I'm sorry its taking longer than I thought, but you can never know. I won't be on this long, okay? If it goes too far and I hit a dead end, I'll stop my search. I promise." A beep interrupted his conversation. The search was complete! "Listen Liz, got to go. Love you too, bye." Lucky finally hung up after he tried many times before, but Liz wouldn't have it before.
Lucky walked and sat near the computer sitting on his crowded table at his dad's club. Luke and Laura were out of the city taking Lulu on a small nonexpendable family vacation. They offered a place for him, but he said that it was okay and that he had something to do. They said okay and went off and were currently enjoying the trip as far as he knew.
Laura had got her sanity back two years ago and after some explaining, all were happily back together. Laura was devastated to hear about her eldest son's death though. She didn't take it as well as people would imagine for an ex-psycho. Everything turned out okay though, and that was the important thing. Lulu missed Nik, but was surviving with one brother with an expecting wife. Lulu said it was going to be a girl and that she would teach it all she knew, all laughed at Lulu, but she didn't take it seriously. She continued to the happy go lucky child she was though she was approaching the teen years. No good news for his parents.
Search complete, Lucky's computer screen blinked. Lucky sat near it and looked over the information. He had started a search with possible names Emily or Nikolas might go by, but found nothing surprisingly. He expected Emily to go by Paige or her middle name, which he found he didn't know. They were best friends and he didn't know her middle name? It was surprising, but he promised to find out when he found her.
He tried finding Nik with his middle name which was Mikhailvich (or something like that), but alas nothing. Lucky extended his mind to possible names but the search came up dead as a doornail.
Then it finally hit him. Both Emily and Nikolas knew to do the unexpected. But he remembered a saying, isn't doing the expected the unexpected? He took that to heart and started a new search.
He put himself in their shoes and looked up the one thing he would do. He would keep the same names! And if that wasn't the unexpected, he didn't know what was.
Another beep kept him from his revelry and he searched the list the computer gave. After countless names, Lucky felt his hope diminishing. If he didn't find a match here, he never would. He almost gave up and when a name literally flew out to him. It caught his eye greedily and called his attention.
It was a young couple from a look of things. Upon further investigation, he found they lived in the small town of Fairfield Connecticut and had been for a few years. The mom didn't work, and Lucky assumed she was taking care of the children, he couldn't be sure though. No children were listed. The husband's work was inexplicable.
He took the little information he had and scribbled it on a piece of paper he grabbed. He studied the information and grabbed his cell somehow in the mess he created. He quickly typed in the familiar number, wanting to be on his way, but he couldn't just yet. He had things to do here before he went on a crazy goose chase. Calling Jason was one of those things.
"Hello?" The voice asked cautiously. Knowing Jason's work, Lucky let it slip.
"Hey, it's Lucky." He said, for safety purposes. He couldn't wait as it was and if Jason hung up, he wasn't going to try again.
"I'm guessing if you're calling it's about something good. Did you find something? Say you did for my sake!" Jason replied excited with the fact that Lucky might have found his thought dead sister. Something had been missing from him since his sister's "death" or should he say disappearance as with the latest information.
"Yeah, I did. Almost missed it too, not good for anyone's sanity." Lucky said detailed, though Jason waited for him to continue, but couldn't wait to rush the burning knowledge.
"Good to hear but would you mind telling me what you found out already?" Jason asked impatient.
"Oh sorry about that. A young married couple from the sound of it lives in Fairfield Connecticut." Lucky answered, a bit ashamed for going off when more serious stuff was happening.
"What about them?" Jason asked, not getting the connection.
"Oh right, the last name is Cassadine." Lucky added quickly.
Jason stayed quiet for a moment. Cassadine, they wouldn't have kept his name, would they? He obviously didn't know his sister that well. Oh well, that couldn't be fixed at the moment. But if this couple consisted of his sister, he would pay more attention to her, he swore.
"Jason?" Lucky asked, assuming the line was going.
"I'm here, don't worry. What do we do from here then?" Jason asked paying attention to the phone conversation now.
"I'm thinking of heading down there and checking it out. I'll probably embarrass myself, but I don't care. Its selfish, but I want the truth and my brother and best friend back." Lucky admitted openly.
"Hmm, yeah I agree. Hey, do you know your way around Fairfield?" Jason inquired after agreeing.
"No, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Why do you have a suggestion?" He asked curiosity overcoming his independence in the situation.
"Yeah, one. Brittany is surprising from Fairfield." Jason mentioned, surprising him.
"Seriously? Never expected that one." Lucky admitted.
"I didn't either until she told me. I had no idea what it was before she explained it." Jason described briefly.
"Hmm, okay, where you getting at?" Lucky asked for a clue.
"I was going to suggest that Brittany and I join you." Jason answered.
"Not that I don't appreciate the notion, Brittany's schooling is important." Lucky responded by experience. He didn't appreciate it as much as he should of.
"She is having her finals today. We've been meaning to go there anyway, meet with her family though I'm reluctant to do so." Jason admitted, but Lucky felt his pain. Meeting with Liz's parents and brother was painful at first.
"I guess you can join me." Lucky invited them reluctantly. He wanted to do this on his own but Jason was Emily's sister and he missed her so.
"Okay, I'll ask Sonny for the plane, he'll let me go when he sees how important this is to me." Jason revealed, with a reference to his work and the close connection he and sonny had, despite the Courtney problems a few years prior.
"Sounds good, I'll meet you at the airport, at the private gate I'm guessing?" Lucky suggested absent mindly.
"Yeah, I and Brittany will meet you there." Jason said and hung up without a goodbye. Probably for best, he had things to do as much as him.
With that conversation done and over, he called Liz and told her of his plans. He went to the house and got an overnight bag and filled it with necessities.
Sonny's private plane took off hours later with three passengers and the pilot.
