I don't think Lucas is a spoiled brat who doesn't care about money. But yeah he knew that Emma was in trouble and stopped her before she fell off the deep end again. But of course her parents doesn't know that... I really enjoy reading all the suggestions how you think my story should go and the constructive feedback. But you won't influence this story since I had already written the final page before I started posting it. :D Still it's an intersting idea that John Ross could have given Lucas a call. You are right that it could have been a set up. The only flaw is that the cousins are not close in this story. So I guess I believe in something called fate. ;) On to the next update. * Harris was sitting in his limousine talking on his cell phone.
