Everyone looked at Lulu.
"What?" she asked. "It is plausible."
"Well, Stefano is known to have officers on his payroll." Hope offered.
"What the hell is going on?" Everyone looked at one another to see who'd spoken, but no one owned it. Then they realized why.
"Is anyone going to answer me?" Luke spoke as clear as if he hadn't been in a coma at all.
"Daddy!" Lulu exclaimed as she threw herself on her father. Everyone else went to him as well.
"Daddy?" he asked, confused. "Who the hell are you? Who the hell are any of you?"
"Luke," Anna said, "it's me, Anna Devane. You've been in a coma for two months, possibly longer. It's natural to be confused."
"Who's Luke?" he asked. "My name is Ryan Brady, and I want to speak with my brother, Stefano DiMera!"
