For two months, he'd lay at rest in the coma. He'd been found the day EJ escaped. After all the pieces were put together, it wasn't that hard to figure out where he would be if he were alive. Commissioner Devane herself, along with Detectives Falconeri and West, and some uniforms, had stormed Miscavige determined to find him. Every single room was checked until Luke Spencer was found, shaven, broken and incapacitated.
And that's how he'd stayed since then. Doctors had no idea what he'd been given to make him this way. They had no idea if he'd even ever wake up.
Lulu Spencer-Faloneri wouldn't hear it though. She'd learned of her pregnancy a few weeks after her dad had been found, and now, four months along, there was no way she would allow Luke to die before meeting her two little ones.
"Hey, Dad." she spoke in almost a whisper as she grabbed her father's hand. "I know you can hear me. They say that comatose patients can hear the world around them. So, you listen up. You have to come back to us, because your grandkids need you. I need you."
"We all need him." Lulu hadn't even heard the door open or see her big brother, Lucky come in. He'd come back to town as soon as he'd heard about Luke. After three years of humanitarian work, he decided that he was needed at home.
Lulu got up and hugged her brother. "Lulu, you need to go home and rest. You have two babies to think about."
"I will," she responded, as she returned to her post next to her dad, "just later."
Lucky knew there was no use pushing the issue. Daddy's little princess wasn't going anywhere; so he changed the subject. "I just don't understand how this could happen! Ok, so DiMera hates Sonny. Who doesn't? But why Dad?"
"Well, wondering won't do anyone any good, Lucky."
He let out a deep breath. "I know...it's just that all this waiting around for nothing is driving me crazy. I want DiMera, and his father, to pay for everything they've done."
"We all do."
Dante Falconeri entered the room
"Is there an update?" Lulu piped.
"Last time I heard, no." Dante responded. "But on my way up here I did spot the Commissioner with some lady I don't know, so maybe something's going on."
At that moment, there was a knock on the door, before Anna Devane let herself into the room, followed by a brunette who was short in stature and obviously in law enforcement.
It was Lucky who spoke up. "Commissioner, is there any news on DiMera?"
