Chapter 3:

Setting: Robin and Lucky's Cell

Both Robin and Lucky awoke early this morning. Lucky awoke earlier than Robin in fact he didn' t get much sleep because of his horrible nightmare. He just kept hearing over and over in his head Robin saying "Help me Lucky, help me!". He promised himself right there and then that he wasn't going to let ANYONE hurt her.

Robin: Earth to Lucky...(She is really worried because Lucky has been quieter and quite distant since his nightmare.)

Lucky: Oh what...did you say something?

Robin:(Glancing over at the clock) Francis should be here soon. In about twenty minutes.

Lucky: Okay lets go over this one more time....

Robin:(Interrupts) When Francis gets here with our breakfast he will set it down on the desk then turn to leave but me being the great actress that I am will lie in bed and moan out in pain.

Lucky:(Nods) Right then I say that you aren't feeling well and need to see a doctor.

Robin: Him being the moron that he is welcome and check on me to see what is wrong. While he is doing this you will have discretely grabbed the breakfast tray and bash him on the head with it.

Lucky: Uh huh then I grab his gun and you get his wallet.

Robin: See this is the part that I have a problem with. I think that I should grab the gun and YOU should get the wallet.

Lucky: Nope, no way, no how...I don't want you carrying around a gun.

Robin:(Jumps up from the bed where she was sitting) But I can use one better than you!

Lucky: I know how to use a gun! I have Luke Spencer for a father.

Robin: And I had Anna and Robert Scorpio for parents.

Lucky:(His voice firm and strong) This is all well and good but I will take the gun. This is the end of this discussion.

Robin:(Mumbles) We'll see about that!

Lucky:(Questionly) What was that?

Robin: I said fine you get the gun.

Lucky: I thought so. Okay get changed then under the covers and pronto.

Robin: Okay what should I wear?

Lucky: Something you can travel in and fight easily in.

Robin:(Scans through her clothes and pulls out a pair of bootleg blue jeans, a tight fitting black tank top that cuts off above the belly button, and then a thin black sweatshirt that zips down the middle, it has 3/4 sleeves.) Okay you know the drill.

Since Robin and Lucky shared one room and weren't allowed to go to the bathroom to change they developed a system. Lucky faced one wall and Robin faced another while they changed. Lucky didn't see what the big deal was about them changing in front of one another but Robin was a very conscience person. Lucky would sometimes just start unchanging in front of her and Robin would turn away in embarrassment.

Lucky turned and faced the wall, he had changed before Robin had gotten up. He had never been tempted to peek over at Robin but today was different. He felt a need to look; it may have been more of a want. He slowly peeked his head around, Robin was standing there in her bra and underwear. She then unclipped her bra and it fell to the ground. She reached down and picked up her new black bra. Lucky whipped his head back around towards his wall. He thought to himself, "It's a good thing I never looked before." Because all he could think about was how much he wanted her. He told himself, "You'll be home soon and back to Liz." Then another thought creeped into his head...She was marrying Prince Nikky. What if she didn't want him? Did he still want her?

Robin turned around after she finished changing. She held her sweatshirt in her arms. She took a good long look at Lucky for the first time that day. He was still facing the wall. He had on a pair of black jeans and a tight black shirt outlining every muscle. Man she thought to herself, "He looks hot in those jeans. Wait what was she thinking this was Lucky she was talking about. Hell, he is three years younger than you. But man does he look gorgeous. Robin snap out of it he loves Liz. Yeah but look at that butt!"

Robin:(Stuttering) Um...Lucky I'm done.

Lucky:(He turns around to face her his face bright red.) In his head," Wow she looks great in those jeans, they fit like second skin. Oh and that shirt, her stomach looks nice and firm." He wanted her but knew that even if he was going to act on these feelings which he wasn't, now was not the time. Out loud: Okay you ready?

Robin:(A little uneasy) Sure....um yeah.

She climbed on to her bed and tied her sneakers then went under the covers with only her face showing.

Lucky: Okay its showtime!

Two minutes later Francis puts his key into the door and opens it. Not really looking around he goes and sets the breakfast tray on the desk like he did each morning.

Francis:(Looking up) Breakfast is served. (Looking over at Robin) What is wrong with her?

Lucky:(Fake tears running down his cheeks and Robin moaning a little) She's sick but I don't know what is wrong with her. She is burning up but she says that she is freezing. I think that she needs to see a doctor, what if something is wrong with he HIV?

Francis:(He walks over to Robin and bends down to feel her forehead. Meanwhile Lucky has grabbed their breakfast tray. He is walking back to Francis and Robin. Francis still is looking over Robin. Her eyes are shut but she can feel his presence over her.) I think I will call Mr. Faison and see what he wants me to do. (Just then Lucky takes the tray and bashes Francis's head. Francis is caught off guard, he is starting to fall to the ground when Robin pops up and gives him a mean left hook right to his eye. It sends him flying to the ground and knocks him out cold.)

Lucky:(Looking at Francis's eye) I'm impressed!

Robin:(Getting up) Thanks. Look we have to hurry. (Robin goes to Francis and starts checking his pockets. Lucky starts feeling his legs for any hidden weapons.)

Robin: Got it! (She pulled a ring of keys and a brown suede wallet from his pant pocket.) Personally I always pictured him more as a black leather kind of guy myself.

Lucky: Well?

Robin: Well what?

Lucky:(Shakes his head) How much money does he have on him? (Robin opens the wallet and counts the cash)

Robin: Five hundred in cash and a visa. Oh get this he has a Sears card. Who would have thought? (They both laugh for a second)

Lucky: No weapons on his legs or front pockets.

Robin: Did you check his back waistline? That is where Jason used to keep his gun.

Lucky:(He pushes Francis over to his side and starts digging) Found it!

Robin: Ha you missed this, it fell out of his jacket when you pushed him over. Looks like I get a gun too! (Robin starts to exam the gun then sticks it in her back pant pocket.)

Lucky: Be careful with that. Okay say good-bye to Francis and this steel cell we are heading home Babe!

Robin:(Heads over towards the door) Yup let's go. I'm ready to ditch this place.

Lucky gets up and follows her to the door.

Robin: You have the cameras set?

Lucky:(Nods his head) Yeah I set them up before you got up. We still have to find the control room though. Cause I am sure that Faison has someone in there with screens set up all over the compound. The only thing I did was change Faison's own personal monitor. It should play scenes from a couple of days ago.

Robin: Okay. (Looks toward the doorway in front of her) I can't believe Francis left the door open this is almost too easy.

Lucky: Easy or not I am getting out of here. Do you have the keys? We should probably lock him in and it wouldn't hurt to have them.

Robin:(Throwing him the keys) Those unlock everything in the building don't lose them!

Lucky: Hey where's the trust? I'm not going to lose them. (He peeks out the doorway and doesn't see any guards on the floor but he still wanted to take caution) Okay the coast is clear. We have to find the control room then we are out of here. Robin I want you to stay close to me okay?

Robin:(Looking him right in the eyes) Yeah I got it.

Lucky:(He returns Robin's stare and brushes a piece of hair out of her eyes. Almost whispering) I don't know what life will be like when we get back to Port Charles but I hope that we still can be there for each other.

Robin:(Puts her hand over his) After all of this I think that you will be the only one who understands me. I don't want to lose you ever!

Lucky brings his lips close to hers so they are practically brushing against each other.

Lucky:(Whispers) You won't.

They go to kiss when a guard steps out of a room a couple of doors down.

Guard: Hey what are you two doing?

Robin:(Snaps back into the present because of the guards questions. She automatically springs into action. In an innocent voice) Sight seeing! You know I have been her for three years and have never seen the place except for the thing you call a bedroom and a bathroom.

The guard goes for his gun in his back pocket but Robin is faster. She has her gun out and shot the guard in the throat and then the chest before he had the chance to pull back the safety trigger. Lucky looks at her in amazement.

Robin: Pick your jaw up off the floor Spencer I told you I could shoot maybe next time you'll listen.

Lucky:(In amazement) Where did you learn how to do that?

Robin:(Enjoying his disbelief) I'm a Scorpio. My Dad and Frisco used to take me to the shooting range but they stopped when I got a better shot then them. My mom thought that it was funny. She bought me my first gun and taught my how to assemble it. But enough chit chat we have to get going and fast before more guards come.

Lucky:(Points his head northward) This way.

Lucky and Robin are running down the corridor when Robin stops.

Robin: Lucky I found it. (Lucky came back towards Robin and looks in the door with her. It was a small room with about 15 different monitors lined up on top of each other and against the wall. There was a screen to Robin and Lucky's cell and many other spots in the building.)

Robin: Okay computer genius get to it. I'll keep lookout.

Lucky ran into the room and started playing around with the controls. The screens went blank after Lucky entered a couple of different codes and pressed a few keys.

Lucky: Okay I think that I got it but I am not guaranteeing anything. This shouldn't effect Faison's personal screen. I took care of that earlier though. I also turned off the alarm system too....I think.

Robin: Okay lets hit the road. (They walked out of the control room hand in hand down the long hall.) Look there is a stairwell. (She says as she points at the end of the hall) Lets try it out.

The quietly ran down the rest of the way. So far they hadn't seen any other guards. Cesar usually took a lot with him when he went out of town but there was bound to be at least one around the exit. Robin and Lucky quickly steal down the stairwell.

Lucky:(Hiding behind the corner.) I think that is the way out right there where those two guys are standing.

Robin:(Nods her head) Okay I got the one on the left you get the one on the right. Try not to kill them unless you have to. The cleaner this is the better.

Lucky:(Laughing) This coming from the girl who killed the guard upstairs with one shot but shot another just for fun.

Robin:(Shaking her head) I had to get that one out of my system. Besides he was pulling out a gun on us. Oh forget it! You set?

Lucky:(laughs) Yeah

Robin: Oh and Lucky be careful. Don't let your name get to your head.

Lucky:(With a meaningful look in his eyes) You too! Let's go.

Both Robin and Lucky have their weapons drawn but are keeping them hidden.

Robin:(Following quickly besides Lucky up to the two guards.)

1st: Hey what are you two doing here?

Lucky: (Seriously) Going home! (He brings his gun out and hits the 1st guard on the head causing him to pass out.)

The 2nd guard goes to pull hi gun.

Robin: I wouldn't do that if I were you. (She has her gun pointed to the guy's head.)

2nd: You know that you will never get away with this, Cesar Faison will catch you.

Robin: Well that is a chance that I am willing to take. (Lucky now has his gun turned on him too.) Drop your gun and kick it forward. (He does as she asks and Robin slowly picks up the gun and sticks it in her back pocket never once taking her eyes or gun off of him.) Turn around slowly and get down on your knees. (He does as he is told then Robin raises her gun and knocks him out.)

Lucky: Impressive!

Robin: Port Chuckles here we come.

Lucky: First we have to figure out where we are.

Robin and Lucky step out into the bright sunlight for the first time in three years. Robin takes off her sweatshirt and turns around and around. Lucky stands there watching in amusement.

Robin:(Basking in the sunlight) The sun has never felt so good.

Lucky:(Smirks) Only you would think of that at a time like this.

Robin:(She stops spinning and looks at Lucky smiling) We are Free!!!

Lucky:(Steps forward and grabs Robin and give her a big bear hug) I know!

Both Robin and Lucky knew that even though they had escaped Faison's prison there was still a lot of anguish and a big battle ahead of them. They stepped back from each other with an understanding in their eyes. Through hell and beyond they would be there for each other.
