Chapter 23

Sonny and Jason exchanged glances and looked back at Lucky. Jason responded first.

"The cops are asking us for information. What's this really about Lucky?"

"Yeah." Sonny spoke up. "Don't tell me Scorpio is thinking of creating his very own Mob Squad."

Lucky hadn't been keen on involving them but he knew that if the information he had was true and if someone was really stalking Emily that this was the first place to he needed to come to. He'd rather have them helping him instead of taking care of business their own way.

"We picked him up on a tip that he was in possession of some stolen property we were on the look out for. It's a three strikes and you're out kinda thing and he's looking at some serious jail time so he offers to cut a deal." The young detective shrugged. "I hope he's wrong but after earlier today at the hospital and talking with Elizabeth and Lulu to confirm some of what he has said, I'm not so sure that he's completely off base."

Sonny didn't like where this was going. "Get to the point Spencer."

"Apparently he's in the information trade as well. He said that a guy let it be known around that he was looking for anything he could find out about you or anyone close to you."

Jason looked over at Sonny and then to Lucky. "It was a waste of his money. Sonny's life is an open book. Everybody knows Carly and the kids as well as the rest of his family. Me and Sam…"

"And Emily."

Sonny narrowed his eyes and took a step towards the young detective. "What's this got to do with Jason's sister?"

Lucky went on to explain how Lulu and Parks were connected and how Emily had almost caught them talking down by the docks.

Jason nodded. I remember Em saying something about that. She was worried about your sister.

"Well it seems she had reason to be but that's another story for another day. Anyway when Emily left Parks questioned Lulu about who she was and…"

"And Lulu kindly told him what he wanted to know." Sonny finished. "So what else are you not telling us that we should know?"

Lucky knew he was walking on thin ice here. "Parks says that something wasn't right about the guy and didn't want anything else to do with him after they met and he got his money but guy had to go out of town on business for a few days and offered our friend Lenny a substantial amount of money to keep up with her while he was gone. Parks even went as far as making sure the things this guy wanted Emily to have were gotten to her. You know the gifts and the flowers."

Jason was cool as always. "We get the picture Lucky. You got a name?"

Sonny laughed as he watched the cop squirm. "Oh this just keeps getting better." He pointed to Lucky. "You mean to tell me that this guy fences stolen goods, sells information, and helps to stalk someone important to me and Jason and when you come to tell us you aint got a name?"

"Look Parks says he doesn't know who the guy is. According to him he's never even seen the guys face."

Sonny grabbed for his coat. "You give me five minutes with him…." He was talking when Max walked in with a sobbing Leticia and a nervous guard close behind. "What's going on here? Leticia what's wrong? Where are the boys?"

"I sent Morgan up with one of the men. Michael's…."

The mobster tried to be a gentle with the woman as he could be. "What about Michael?"

The younger guard came forward fearing the fallout but willing to take the responsibility as Sonny turned his eyes on him.

"Sir your son is missing."
