Chapter 32

Luke steps closer, raising the gun a little and releases the safety.  Coldy he says, "What's to prevent me from putting a bullet in your head?"

Stefan:  Your wife.

Luke (laughs):  Do you see her around, Dracula?  She ain't here to save your nocturnal butt this time.  It's just you and me, and only one of us will come out of this alive.

Stefan:  Do you know the penalty for trespassing on someone's property and endangering a life with a gun?

Luke:  Who's going to know?

Stefan:  I have guards posted everywhere who have probably found your means of transportation onto this island.

Luke:  They ain't finding a thing, Cassadine.  Except for your dead body.  But, I'll tell you what.  I'll grant you one last request.  Consider it your dying wish.  So, Count Vlad of Wyndemere, what is your wish?

Stefan:  Do you consider yourself comical?

Luke:  I thought I was just doing you a favor before I end your life, but if you don't want it, then say goodnight and sweet dreams.  (raising the gun up to Stefan's head again)

Stefan looked behind Luke at the top of the stairs and saw Mrs. Lansbury watching.  She saw that it was a real threat and ran to a phone upstairs to call the cops.


Sean and Tiffany were asleep when the phone rang.  "Hello?"

Officer Rick:  Commissioner, there is a problem that I think you should be aware of.

Sean:  Can't it wait till morning?

Rick:  I don't think so.

Sean:  Alright, what is it?

Rick:  We just got a call about Luke Spencer being on Spoon Island, threatening to kill Stefan Cassadine with a gun.

Sean:  Are you sure?

Rick:  Yes sir.

Sean:  Thanks.  I'll handle the situation from here.  Good work.

Sean hangs up the phone and jumps out of bed to get dressed.  Tiffany looks over at him, worried that Sean was trying to find trouble out there.

Tiff:  Sean, what is it?  What's happening?

Sean:  Luke's over on Spoon Island right now with a gun.

Tiff:  What?  What's he planning on doing?

Sean:  Killing Stefan Cassadine it looks like.

Tiff:  No, Sean.  Luke wouldn't just kill him.  No matter how much he may want to, Luke also knows that Nikolas needs someone to take care of him, and I doubt he wants to welcome the kid into his own home.

Sean:  Well, I'm going to check it out.  Try to get some sleep.  I don't know how long this will take.

Tiff:  I'm not going to get any sleep now.  I know if I'm worried about Luke at the moment, Laura's got to be a mess.  She's probably awake so I think I'll stop by and see if I can do anything for her.

Sean:  But Anna…

Tiff:  Don't worry about her.  She can sleep for the car ride there and I'll put her down at the Spencer house.  Just go get Luke out of the trouble before he gets in over his head.


Luke pulls the trigger, but no bullet comes out.  Stefan looked at Luke and started smiling, thinking that this was just a pathetic attempt of Luke's.  Stefan stepped closer to Luke, but Luke paid no attention.  He just opened up the gun and said, "Damn.  I thought I put 6 bullets in here, but I guess I only put 5.  No worry, though.  5 should be enough to finish you off."

Stefan:  Do you really expect me to fear your juvenile attempts to scare me?

Luke:  It would be no fun to kill you if you actually feared me.   This will be a lot more satisfying.  Don't worry, though, you won't be forgotten.  I'll remember this day until I see you in hell.

Stefan saw Sean appear through the corner of his eye.  It was hard to keep the grin off his face.  His plan had worked out exactly as he had figured it would.  Luke would leave Laura and get arrested at the same time.

Stefan:  I was under the impression that you were to honor me a last request.

Luke:  You didn't appreciate that offer before.

Stefan:  I did not believe your intentions were genuine.  I underestimated you.

Luke:  Like every other Cassadine I came up against.  What is your last wish?

Stefan:  Tell Lasha that she was great in bed.

Luke:  WHY YOU BAST… (Luke drops the gun and lunges at Stefan, continually punching him)  A GUN'S TOO EASY FOR YOU!  I'LL KILL YOU WITH MY OWN DAMN HANDS!

Sean stepped between Luke and Stefan before Luke could kill Stefan.  "LUKE!"  Luke ignoring Sean's presence continues to punch Stefan's face until blood was all over his hands.  Sean managed to get a hold of Luke's arms and pulls him away, leaving Stefan to tend to his wounds.

Sean:  Luke, snap out of it!

Luke:  Let me just get him in a dark alley one time, Sean.

Stefan gets up, trying best to wipe away the blood with his handkerchief.  "I want you to arrest that man, Commissioner.  His crimes include, threatening one's life, trespassing on one's property, brutality…"

Sean:  Thank you, Mr. Cassadine.   I don't need you to tell me about my own job.  (looks over to Luke)  I'm sorry, Luke, but I'm going to have to arrest you.  Place your hands behind your back.  (Luke places them behind his back as Sean takes out his handcuffs and cuffs him)  You have the right to remain silent. If you give up that right, anything you say, can and will be used against you in a court of law.  You have a right to an attorney.

Luke:  I know my rights, Sean.  Can we just get out of here before I break through these metal bracelets and finish off the job?

Sean continued to read Luke his rights as they walked out of Wyndemere.  Stefan looked out the window till he was sure they were both gone and went over to his phone.  "This is Mr. Cassadine.  I have temporarily disposed of Luke Spencer.  I want you to make sure that it becomes permanent."
