Chapter 7:

Nikolas and Lucky see Stefan sitting at the dining room table. "Good Morning, Uncle."
"Good night Nikolas. How are you?"
"I'm fine."
"Good. Hello Lucky."
"Mr. Cassadine." Lucky nods at Stefan.
"Please join me. Mrs. Lansbury prepared breakfast."
Lucky and Nikolas sat down. Lucky hoped that Liz would show up soon. Despite the fact that Luke would hate the fact that Lucky was eating with Stefan and Nikolas, Lucky did not feel comfortable sitting at the table with Stefan. Especially after the whole Timoria game incident that landed Lucky in the bog. Lucky, Nikolas, and Stefan were acutely aware of the silence until Stefan finally broke it.
"Lucky, Nikolas tells me that you helped him out last night."
"Yes, sir." Lucky answered not quite sure at the response Stefan was looking for.
"You are welcome to stay here as long as you would like."
Both Lucky and Nikolas looked at him in shock. They knew that Stefan had no love for anything Spencer.
"Thank you Mr. Cassadine, but that won't-"
"Yes, Uncle thank you." Nikolas interrupts him.
"Very well then, I trust I will see you both for dinner."
Stefan gets up from the table without waiting for a reply Lucky glares at Nikolas.
"Why did you go and do that?" Lucky asks impatiently.
"Do what?"
"You know what. Allowing him to think that I want to stay here."
"Come on Lucky stay tonight. You're hurt, and shouldn't stay at the boxcar by yourself." Nikolas couldn't believe what he was going to say next. "Besides it will give us a chance to get to know each other. Other than just as Spencer and Cassadine." Lucky looked at Nikolas in shock. He considered what Nikolas said, and the fact that his side was killing him. "Ok. I'll stay tonight."

Nikolas and Lucky were still sitting at the table when Elizabeth arrived.
"Hello Elizabeth, how are you?" Nikolas saw her first.
"I'm fine and you."
"I'm good."
"Hi Lucky. Can't you go a month with out getting stabbed?" Liz said with a smile on her face.
"Well I try, but lately I'm beginning to feel like a pincushion."
"You never did tell me how you were stabbed the last time." Nikolas asked still curious.
"I stabbed him." Liz said a little embarrassed.
"It was an accident. I startled her, and she had the knife out. She turned around and got me."
"Now that my curiosity is settled." Sort of Nikolas thought. "Why don't you join us for breakfast."
"Ok. I think I will."
Lucky, Liz, and Nikolas sat around talked, played cards (which Lucky won most of the games), and Elizabeth joined them for lunch and dinner. They had nice time together, despite Lucky's initial reservations everyone was getting along. Elizabeth's presence helped ease the tension at dinner when Stefan joined them. At 8:00 Liz decided to go home. Leaving Lucky and Nikolas alone.

Chapter 8:

Later that night Nikolas and Lucky were talking in the guestroom about their pasts. They both learned a lot about their pasts. They began to understand why neither one of them trusted easily. Nikolas looked at his brother with concern. He could tell, despite the fact that Lucky was trying to hide it, that Lucky's side was hurting him.
"Lucky are you ok?"
"Yeah, I am just tired. I think I will go to sleep. Good night."
"Goodnight."

The next morning Lucky woke up early. He had to go to work for Jason today. He took off two weeks ago, because he was stabbed, and he didn't want to ask for more time off. He really needed the money. Jason has been more generous and he didn't want to take advantage of his generosity. Lucky had just finished getting ready when he heard a knock at the door.
"Come in." Nikolas walked in and noticed that Lucky was already ready to go.
"What are you doing up already?"
"I have to work."
"Lucky the doctor told you to rest not work."
"Nikolas, I'm fine." 'Nikolas can be a real mother hen' Lucky thought to himself. At Nikolas's disbelieving look Lucky sighed. "Jason is expecting me."
"You work for Jason Morgan?"
"Relax Nikolas, I just wash and detail his cars." Lucky looked at his watch.
"I have to go."
"Lucky at least let me help you."
"Fine let's go." Lucky said rolling his eyes.

Lucky and Nikolas stepped off the launch and were walking towards Morgan's penthouse when they were taken by surprise. They try to fight their kidnappers but to no avail as their mouths were covered by rags. Lucky and Nikolas struggle as their world fades to black.

Chapter 9:

Nikolas woke up first. He looked around and noticed that they were in a basement of some sort. He looked around and noticed that his brother was still sleeping. It is amazing that he now so readily thinks of Lucky as his brother.
Lucky began to wake up. Nikolas looked over and noticed him stirring.
"Lucky."
"Hmmm."
"Wake up."
Lucky opened his eyes and looked around and noticed that they weren't at Wyndemere.
"What happened?"
"We were ambushed and taken here."
"Oh right. I had hoped it was some sort of sick dream." Lucky sat up and winced. His side was burning. He looked down and noticed that there was blood on his shirt. He lifted it up and noticed that the bandage was bloody and figured that he must have pulled some stitches out. 'Great he thought to himself.'
Lucky decided to ignore it for now, because there wasn't anything he could do about it.
"Do you know why they took us?"
"Not a clue."
Just then Matthew Casey walked in.
"Hello. Nice to see that you are finally awake."
"What do you want from us?" Nikolas asked.
"I want you to place a phone call."
"Why?" Lucky asked.
"I want the money that your uncle owes me, and I am going to ransom you two to get it."
"Why me? Mr. Cassadine doesn't care about me." Lucky asked.
"You just got annoying. You butted your nose in where it did not belong. You'll be released along with Nikolas when we get the money."
Matthew Casey then picked up a cellular phone and called Mr. Cassadine.
"Hello Mr. Cassadine. We have your nephew and his brother. We want 10 million dollars by next Friday or they die."
"Who are you? And what have you done to them?"
"They are fine."
"How can I be sure of that?"
"Here I will let you speak to Nikolas."
Matthew hands the phone to Nikolas, but Nikolas refuses to take it. Ryan then pulls out a gun and points it at Lucky's head. Nikolas takes the phone.
"Uncle."
"Nikolas, are you and Lucky ok?"
"Yes, uncle."
Matthew rips the phone from Nikolas's hand.
"Mr. Cassadine I want the money by Friday. Wait for further instructions and do not tell the police."
"You will pay for this!" Cassadine screams as Matthew hangs up.
