Mr. Immigration Man, Chapter 16



Mac saw Frisco outside of Felicia's hotel room.

" What are you? The biggest prick that ever lived?"

" Wait a minute..."

" No! I mean it. You dump wife and child on Felicia, then leave, and now you're back for more? I ought to beat you senseless."

Mac takes a swipe at Frisco. Frisco ducks and they start rolling around on the floor. Felicia comes out to see what's going on.

" Wha.....what the hell? Hey, you two, GET UP from there! Before I get thrown out of this place. Grow up and come on in here."

Mac and Frisco come in.

" Would someone like to tell me what this is all about?"

" I caught 'love-em-and-leave-em' here outside your door. Thought that the last thing you needed was him."

" Gorilla man here tried to deck me. You have him well trained."

(smiling) "Thanks. But Mac's right. What ARE you doing here?"

" Thought that I might be able to help you find the Spencers."

" We don't need your help."

" Oh will you stop being such a crybaby caveman. You've been in Europe HOW LONG and you not found them? Sounds like you need SOMEBODIES help."

" Why you..."

" Mac...Frisco's right. The most important thing is to find Luke. What do you have in mind?"

" Do you have a license plate number?"

" Yes, it took us all day going to the rental cars, but we finally got it."

" Give it to me."

" Why? I have friends that have been checking for the plate and car."

" I think that my network of friends is a bit more resourceful than yours. Do you have a picture of Luke and family?"

" Yup. Right here."

" OK. You sit tight. I will take these to Florentyna. She will get them out to our people. You pack and we will travel together to the next place that you think they've been. I'll be back in an hour. See ya then."

Frisco leaves. Mac is glaring at Felicia.

" What?"

" What? What?! Felicia, the guy stomps on you yesterday and now you want to travel all over Europe with him? Why do you expect me to sit here while you torture yourself?"

" Mac. Come on. I haven't forgotten anything. Not about last night. But this is about Bobbie, and that she needs our help. I can handle it. What I cant handle is the thought of you and Frisco going 12 rounds every hour on the hour. Promise me that you'll keep calm. Promise me......"

" OK. I will try. BUT, if he starts acting like the jerk he is, I'm gonna throw him out into the road no matter where we are or time of night. He's such a spy-stud, he can take care of himself. I'll get packed."

Flea kisses Mac.

" Thanks Mac."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lucas and Bobbie are playing Go Fish when the door opens and in walks the hugest stuffed bear that Bobbie had ever seen.

"Mommy, look."

" I see it Lucas. Tony you really HAVE outdone your....."

The bear is lowered and it is revealed to be Stefan.

" Well."

" Well, indeed. I told you once that the Cassadines lean towards excess."

" I remember."

" So, Lucas, do you like him?"

" Do I? Yeah!"

" Well, then he's yours."

" Thank you uncle."

" You're welcome. I hear that you'll be going home soon."

" That's what Mommy and Daddy say."

" Well, be sure that my offer still stands. Whenever you want to come to Wyndermere, all you have to do is call. "

" I will."

" Well, I must be going."

" So soon? I mean you just got here."

" Yes. I have business to which I must attend. (he turns to leave) Barbara?"

" Yes?"

" When is the last time you have eaten outside of this Hospital?"

" I can' t remember."

" Well, why not dine with me and Nikolas tonight, at the Port Charles Grill."

" I would not want to interfere with your dinner plans with Nikolas."

" You would not be interfereing at all. Actually, you would be a pleasant distraction. I know that Nikolas would enjoy your company, and I do believe that it would not bother me either."

" Well....with that kind of invitation, how can I refuse?"

" You cannot. I will send the car for you, unless that's forward of me."

" No. The last thing I want to do is drive. I am so tired that I am afraid of getting behind the wheel. What time?"

" The car will pick you up at 7."

" Alright. See you then."

" Goodbye."

Bobbie goes back to playing cards with Lucas.

" Mommy, is Uncle not mad at you anymore?"

" I don't know Lucas....I don't know."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Felicia , Mac and Frisco are all driving on their way to their next lead about 200 km away. To say that it is a testy ride is putting it mildly.

" I know a shortcut."

" And I have a map."

" I can cut miles of our trip."

" Yes, with you directing us, we'll probably not get there until 3 days from now."

" Well, my mother drove faster than you."

" Well, you should know what I think of your mother.."

" YOU...."

" Now Boys. Do you want me to take you behind the woodshed."

" Would you?"

" Frisco!"

" Just kidding....almost."

" Look. cut your crap. We have a job to do. And I want some silence."

Felicia and Frisco together "YES SIR!"

Even Mac had to crack up at that...all three laughed for quite a while over that.

They had been going for a while. They finally came to their destination. They pulled up to the inn where the Spencers had stayed.

" Look. You get the bags Mac while I check us in."

Flea was on her way in when Frisco got a call on his cellular.

"Florentyna?...Uh huh...uh huh.....uh huh..hold on....give me some paper and pen please....OK Tyna, go.....Alright. Thanks."

Frisco hangs up the phone.

"Well?!"

" Out with it spyboy."

" Tyna thinks she's found Luke."

" Wait, we've been traveling all over Europe for a while. And in a few short hours, you're telling me she found them?"

" I told you she was the best the WSB had."

Felicia could not help notice how Frisco swole with pride when talking about her.

" Yes, you did."

"So, are you going to keep us in suspense? Where are we going next?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Port Charles Grill. Nikolas and Stefan were sitting there waiting for Bobbie to come.

" It was nice of you to invite Bobbie, Uncle."

" I thought you would approve. I just wanted to prove to you that I am in full support of your decision to be independent and renew your friendship with Barbara."

" I appreciate that. That you respect me like this. "

" I do, Nikolas. I do."

" Uncle, I was wondering...."

" Yes, Nikolas."

" Are you forgiving Bobbie? For what she did to you?"

" I think that is entirely a too complicated subject for us to discuss this evening. Here comes Barbara."

" Well, hello you two."

" Hi Bobbie."

" Barbara, you look wonderful as always. Let me help you (as he pulls out her seat)."

" Thank you."

" So, Bobbie, how's Lucas? I was so busy with the program today that I did not get to see him. Was he disappointed. "

" Yes...until I told him that you would make a special effort to see him more than once tomorrow. So don't make a liar out of me."

" I won't. Everytime I think of how close we came to losing him..."

" I know. It keeps me up at night too. But, we won't have to have those thoughts anymore. Lucas is fine, and it's thanks to Stefan."

The wine comes. Bobbie raises her glass.

" To Stefan. I want to thank you for so many things, but most of all for my sons life. A simple thank you doesn't seem quite enough."

" But it is really all that I need. I did what anyone would have done. No more, no less. I toast you Barbara. Your strength during this ordeal is one of the qualities that I will always admire."

" I'm not so strong."

" Yes. you are."

" Well, with help from my friends."

There was another one of those wierd silences.

" So, Uncle, Bobbie, anyone hungry? I am starved. Why don't we order?"

Bobbie and Stefan were really not listening to Nikolas. Bobbie was wondering if Katherine knew that Stefan was having dinner with her. But then, Why should Bobbie care what Katherine knew?

Stefan was going over what he told Katherine. That he and Nikolas were going to have dinner with a friend who's had troubles. He did not mention that it was Bobbie. Why, if it was so innocent, hadn't he?
