This story is going to be sort of AU. Everyone's past is basically the same except Elizabeth Webber, she doesn't exist. Elizabeth Corinthos is Sonny's sister. She's Adela's and Mike's daughter, she and Sonny grew up together but, she left PC a long time ago and hasn't been back. She and Jason have never met. The story is set at the time Sonny fakes his own death, I don't think Rick was on GH then but he'll be in my story with some changes. He came to Port Charles and was up-front about being Sonny's brother from the start. They have a good relationship. Rick is engaged to Alexis, who never slept with Sonny so, Kristina doesn't exist and for the purpose of my story neither did her sister Kristina. Alexis and Sonny are still friends but, never romantically involved. Courtney is married to AJ and doesn't get along with Sonny like on the show but, isn't opposed to taking his money. She and Rick have also never met Elizabeth. Ned is still married to Lois. He runs ELQ, she runs L&B. For the purpose of my story She knows Sonny and Elizabeth from when they all where growing up in Brooklyn as does Johnny. Age wise Sonny is about 35, Rick is 30 and Courtney is 26 and Elizabeth is 24. Sonny, Carly, Jason and a few of the top level employees are the only ones who know about the fake death. Any other changes I'll let you know as the story goes along. Any questions just let me know.

"Are you sure your going to be able to do this?" Sonny asked Carly after they went over the plan one last time.

"Yes" Carly replied she understood they were taking a risk by letting her in on the plan and knew how important it was that she didn't mess up. They couldn't afford any mistakes.

"You just need to be here. Just wait for Jason's call." Sonny explained for the hundredth time.

"Ok, We've to make sure everything goes smoothly. After we get Sonny to the safe house I want you, Francis and Max to take rotating sifts on Carly. We can't put anyone else on her till we find the leak. This will be the chance their looking for. Mark is with Michael and Latecia on the island and he knows not to say anything to them." Jason explained to Johnny.

"Ok, everyone just goes around Business as usual. We can't let in that we know anything's going on." Sonny began. "Any Questions?"

"What about Elizabeth?" Carly asked. She'd only met Sonny's sister once but, knew that she was probably the most important person in his life. They spoke almost daily on the phone and Sonny flew all over the world visiting her. She never came here for some reason Carly had never been told, she wasn't even sure Sonny knew why. When She was fifteen she had come to live with Sonny. After graduating from high school she had taken off. Exploring the world, chasing one adventure after another, never staying anywhere to long.

"It actually worked out perfectly, she's on a month long trek in some South American jungle. She'll be totally cut off from the world and unreachable until this is all over." Sonny replied. "Everyone get a good nights sleep tomorrow is going to be a long day."

South America:

"How much Further are we going today?" Paul asked when they stopped for a quick rest.

"Not much further about a mile or so." Elizabeth replied. Paul was new and she didn't really like him. He was nice enough but something about him just didn't sit right with her. She knew if she told Sonny he'd have him reassigned but, she could tell he was having problems with business and didn't need to bother him with it. She never really liked any of her guards they usually didn't last long with her anyway. Her life was just to hectic for them to keep up. Johnny had been great, he was one of the few guards she could really trust, Plus he'd known her most of her life, he knew when to push her and when to give her space. Max was fun, but he wasn't really the outdoor type he'd soon realized he'd rather be in PC taking Bullets than jumping out of planes for kicks. Francis had been her favorite, he was always up for whatever she through at him, I guess you could call her a trill seeker, if it was dangerous, she'd do it. Her favorite though was cliff diving. She'd been disappointed when Francis had gotten married and went back to PC to be closer to his family. She understood he had responsibilities now and couldn't traipse all over the world with her. She'd left New York when she was 18 and had made a name for herself in the art world. She wasn't rich but, her art helped pay for her trips and when she was low on cash she would settle down in some town get a job until she had enough to move on. Sonny was always trying to get her to take his money but she didn't want to take it. She needed to prove to everyone, including herself that she could make it on her own. That was one of the few things they argued about. She had let him pay for her to attend some of the best art schools in the world. She only needed one more year to get her masters and was trying to decide which school she wanted to go to. She'd loved the little school she'd been attending in France, but she never liked to stay anywhere to long, she was always running. She knew Sonny had been hinting that he wanted her to come back to NY and finish her degree there. He never came right out and asked but, she knew that's what he wanted. But, she wasn't ready to go back there and she didn't think she'd ever be.

"You Ok." Elizabeth asked. Paul had seemed nervous the past few days. She was sure something was up with him.

"Yeah fine. Let's get going." Paul replied gathering up his gear. Elizabeth shrugged and took the lead carefully following the map.

Port Charles:

Things hadn't gone a planed, Brenda's sudden reappearance had thrown a wrench in their carefully calculated plan. But, things seemed to have worked out as news of Sonny's death swept through the town. Jason had felt guilty as he delivered the news to Rick, Courtney and Mike but, he knew they were safer not knowing the truth. But, he had this feeling like he was waiting for the other shoe to drop. He paced the room going over every variable in his head.

"Jason Calm down. Everything's going as we planned, well maybe not everything but, it will still work." Sonny reassured him.

"Your going to have to stay dead longer than we thought." Jason replied. Brenda made things more complicated.

"I know." Sonny replied. "You should get back to Carly." Jason nodded opening the door and running into Johnny. Jason stood back letting him in.

"Your supposed to be with carly." Sonny began concerned.

"Max is with her." Johnny interrupted.

"Then what are you doing here?" Sonny demanded.

"I just received a phone call." Johnny paused unsure how to tell him.

"And?" Jason prompted.

"I know who one of our leaks is." Johnny continued,

"That's great." Sonny began thrilled he didn't think they'd find out so quickly.

"No, it's not." Johnny replied.

"Who is it?" Jason asked.

"It's Paul." Johnny replied waiting for the fireworks to start.

South America:

Elizabeth eyed the group of trees Paul had disappeared into earlier that afternoon. She was sure something was up, he'd been more jumpy than usual frequently taking off into the jungle while she sketched. The light was fading as she packed up her supplies turning at the sound of approaching footsteps. She should have been relived to see it was just him, but the look in his eye terrified her.

"Where have you been?" She demanded carefully hiding her fear.

"Here and there." He replied. "Get your things, we're leaving."

"Leaving?" Elizabeth began carefully riffling trough her bag. "I told you we're staying here for a few weeks."

"Your not calling the shots anymore sweetheart." He replied stepping towards her. She watched cautiously as his hand rested on his gun.

"My brother will kill you." She began but stopped at his laughter.

"Your brothers dead princess." He began grabbing her wrist. "Let's just hope Morgan values your life, or your screwed." Her world was spinning, Sonny dead. He couldn't be, she spoken to him a week ago, her legs felt weak beneath her. Jason Morgan, she'd never spoken to the man, why would he give a damn about her. Then she recalled what Sonny always told her. If anything happens to me, Jason will take care of you. Somehow the words seemed hollow, she didn't want Jason's help she wanted her brother, she wouldn't believe it he wasn't dead. She had to get away, she would find Sonny, he'd tell her Paul lied. Everything would be ok, she just had to get away. With new determination she pulled the knife from the bag. He caught her wrist before she could use it and they struggled. She pulled back causing him to stumble falling on top of her, as soon as she felt his weight crushing her body she panicked and began fighting like a with everything she had. Her reaction caught him by surprise and she was finally able to gain control of the knife pushing it into his abdomen. She didn't know how badly he was hurt, but she knew this was her only chance as she pushed herself off the ground and ran into the nearby Forrest. She could hear him curse her as he fired into the trees after her, but she didn't stop. She ran for an hour before pausing trying to gather her bearings and figure out what to do next. She found a beaten path sure it would lead to village of some kind she quickly followed it unsure if Paul had tried to follow her. To her relief she wandered into a small town. She quickly spotted a rundown bar hoping it at least had a working phone she took a deep breath before entering. All eyes turned to her as she walked in. She knew she must look a mess. Her clothes were torn and dirty and her hair was matted with blood where she'd hit it on a rock when she'd fallen struggling with Paul. She let out a sigh of relief as she spotted a payphone hurrying over to it and dialing the only number she could remember.

Pent house earlier that evening:

Johnny stood by the phone taking the numerous phone calls as Carly Paced the living room awaiting Jason's return. The phone rang and he sighed picking it up,

"Hello."

"Johnny?" A small voice questioned.

"Elizabeth? Is that you?" He asked surprised. Carly stopped pacing her attention on him.

"Is it true." She asked bluntly.

"Is what true?" Johnny asked unsure of how to proceed.

"Paul told me, he attacked me, and he said..." She trailed off.

"Liz where are you?" Johnny asked concerned.

"Just tell me." She demanded.

"Tell me where you are, I'll come get you." Johnny replied.

"Stop avoiding my question. Tell me right now, Is my brother dead." She demanded. He had no choice.

"Yes." Johnny replied regretfully. "Liz just tell me where you are. I promise everything's going to be Ok."

Bar:

She wanted to laugh, ok, nothing would ever be ok again. She felt the room spinning as she placed a hand on the wall to brace herself. She noticed someone entering the bar.

"I have to go." She said numbly hanging up the phone.

Penthouse:

"Liz...Liz...Elizabeth!" Johnny screamed into the phone realizing she'd hung up. "Damn it." Johnny yelled throwing the phone across the room. "I have to go, Max is outside." He said to Carly who just nodded confused as he ran out the door.

Safe house:

"Where the hell is my sister?" Sonny demanded.

"I don't know." Johnny replied quickly explaining the phone call.

"Where do you think she'd go." Jason asked after Sonny was finished destroying everything in sight. "I mean there must be somewhere she'd go, where she'd feel safe."

"Send Marco down to South America, I want him to find out where she went and, if he finds Paul I want him killed, painfully." Sonny demanded.

"Marco's on Courtney." Jason replied.

"I don't care, this is more important." Sonny demanded. "I want her found."
