Cairo, Egypt
Conrad International Cairo Hotel
Villa D' Este Restaurant
September 16, 1999
12:30pm Cairo Time

''Oh, Luke, this restaurant is so lovely,'' Laura exclaimed, ''Wasn't Nicholas so sweet to rent out this restaurant for the night as well as paying for our rooms in this hotel.''
''Just wait till Count Vlad see Nicholas' bill. He going to totally lose it. In fact, I'm surprised Stefan hasn't followed us to Paris or Cairo. You know, I'll bet he is hiding under one of these tables.''
Then Luke stared to walk around the room and began to peek under the tablecloths, ''Yahoo, Stefan. We know you are hiding somewhere under these tables.''
Laura laughed at Luke actions and thought to herself how fortunate she was to have a husband with a sense of humor.
Then Nicholas entered the restaurant and looked strangely at Luke and Laura.
''What is so humorous?'' Nicholas asked, ''And Luke have you lost something.''
''No, I thought Count Vlad must be around here, because we have been spending some of his money on our search for Lucky.''
Nicholas said coolly, ''Stefan has been supportive for my search for my brother, no matter the cost.''
''Oh, really??'' Luke raised her eyebrows, ''That's a first for Stefan. Don't tell me, he is finally loosening up.''
Nicholas rolled his eyes and said nothing. Luke just laughed and continued to search.
Laura approached him and said quietly, ''I don't like Stefan anymore than you do, but I don't want you insulting him in front of Nicholas.''
Luck smiled weakly, ''I'm sorry, honey. I was a little hard on Nicholas, but the boy need to relax more and to learn how take a joke. Don't worry, I will make nice to Nicholas.''
Luke walked up to Nicholas and said gruffly, ''I'm sorry about my comment about Stefan.''
''Oh, Luke Spencer apologizing. I should mark this in my dayplanner,'' Nicholas smirked then slapped him on the shoulder, ''Just kidding. Don't worry, about it. We have more important matters like finding Lucky.''
Luke smiled and said quietly, ''Lucky was right about you being a good person.''
Both men were silent and said nothing. Laura had tears in eyes for she knew this bad situation with Lucky had brought her other son and Luke a little closer together. She looked forward to the day when they found Lucky, and the family would be reunited.
Then she spotted Lucy and Kevin and waved at them.
''Yahoo! We're here!'' Lucy exclaimed, ''And I tell you, I'm famished. Kevin and I had quite a workout this morning.''
''Lucy! But you told me you were saving yourself for me,'' Luke smirked
Kevin glared at Luke, ''Not that kind of workout!! Lucy and I were exercising at the gym.''
''Sure, Doc!'' Luke winked, ''If you say so.''
''Luke, honey,'' Laura interrupted, ''I think you have done enough flirting for the day. You belong to me and you know that no straying is allowed.''
Luke laughed, ''My wife has spoken. Sorry Lucy, Laura is the only woman for me.''
Lucy snapped her fingers, ''Darn! Besides, my Doc would never let me go ever.''
''That's right! Your mine!!'' Kevin smiled, then kissed her passionately.
Lucy chuckled, ''Oh, I love it when my Doc is so territorial!''
Kevin smirked, ''That's right. And don't you forget it.''
Luke, Laura, and Nicholas began laughing at Kevin and Lucy. Afterwards, the group grabbed a table by the window and began to visit.
''Hey, everybody. We're here!'' V shouted.
Luke, Laura, Kevin, Lucy, and Nicholas turned around to see Mac, Felicia and V entering the restaurant.
''Well, It's about time you arrived here?'' Nicholas asked, ''The cooks are waiting for everybody to arrive in order to prepare our meal. Now, all we need now is Frisco.''
Mac grinned, ''Felicia, was the problem. She couldn't decide what to wear despite V reassurances that her clothes were fine.''
V nodded, ''That's right. But then, I'm positive that Felicia just wanted to look her best for Mac and her ex-husband.''
Felicia said quickly, ''Just Mac, not Frisco, V.''
Lucy giggled, ''Oh, come on, Felicia. I always want to look my best for my ex-husbands, no matter how many years we been apart.''
Felicia muttered to herself, ''I'm sure Kevin loved that remark!''
''What?'' Lucy asked.
''Nothing. I only wanted to look my best for Mac. It has nothing do with Frisco.'' Felicia
smiled.
''Did someone mention my name!'' Frisco exclaimed as he entered the restaurant caring a guitar.
He began to sing.

Every once in a while I'd see her smile
And she'd turn my day around
A girl with those eyes
Could stare through the lies
And see what your heart was saying

Think of Laura but laugh, don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
When you think of Laura,well,laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way

A friend of friend
A friend to the end
That's the kind of girl she was
Taken away so young
Taken away without a warning

Think Of Laura, but laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
When you think of Laura,well,laugh don't cry
I know she want it that way

I know you and you're here
In every day we live
I know here and she's here
I can feel her when I sing

Hey Laura, where are now
Are you far away from here
I don't think so
I think you're here
Taking our tears away

Think Of Laura, but laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
When you think of Laura,well,laugh don't cry
I know she'd want that way

Frisk put her guitar and hugged Laura, then said, ''We won't let Helena Cassadine get away for kidnapping Lucky like they did with you. She and Faison will pay for their crimes, I promise you that!''

The Egyptian Antiguities Museum
Cairo Egypt
2:10 pm

Ah, the Gold Coffin of Tutankhamon. Such a lovely day to view the artifacts, Faison,'' Helena purred.
Stefan smiled, ''Yes, it is. Are you enjoying your visit to Cairo?''
Helena looked around and was relieved to see they were the only was in that room.
She whispered, ''How is young Mr. Spencer doing?''
''Oh, feisty as usual. Still believes his parents and their friends will save him,'' Faison said sarcastically.
''Well, let's give him some hope. Otherwise, we can't have any fun with him. Keep me updated, Faison on our plans.''
Then Helena left the room smiling.
Faison stared at the gold coffin and spoke quietly

He's blindfold around the world to a secret location.
Where in the world is Lucky Spencer?

''Ah, Cairo. The City that never sleeps! I know I am going to have a lot of fun with Luke, Laura, and their group with another wild goose chase!'' Faison laughed wickedly.
Then he headed toward the entrance and left the museum.
