ABC/DISNEY owns GH and Grey's Anatomy. No copyright infringement is intended.
Hi guys! I'm back with a new story. Real life has been crazy busy for a while but its nice to be with everyone again. This is my first ever attempt at using characters from two different shows in one story. I only just dip my toes in the crossover tide pool, meaning there isn't a lot of the character from Grey's Anatomy, but I'm happy with this first attempt.
This is a mid length story, under fifty chapters. Like all my stories character history and plot lines from the show have been changed to suit my purposes. I have two highly requested character pairings in this one, both have been used before. So if you were one of those making the request I hope you like what I constructed.
Reviews and PMs are always welcome. I do ask that you are respectful of myself, my beta, and the readers you share the site with.

Thank you to Liason102 for the edit!
Thanks to all of you for being patient!
Chapter 1
"Hey." Liz said standing at the doorway of the examination room.
"Hi." Jason was stretched out on the gurney waiting for his admission to the hospital to be completed so he could go upstairs. "How are you?" He let his eyes scan her from head to toe.
"Good. Thanks to you." She said coming closer. They had been keeping their distance from one another when they weren't at the safe house, but she had to be at his side right now. "You saved my life."
"I wasn't going to let him hurt you." Jason said looking at the woman who owned his heart. This had been a long and scary night. Both Elizabeth and Sam had been taken by the Text Message Killer.
It was only blind luck that Jason stumbled across Liz's phone in the parking lot on his way to see his mother and realized something had happened. She had managed to type 9-1-1, but hadn't hit send, which was all the information Jason needed. A serial killer had been terrorizing the harbor town for almost two months now, racking up an impressive body count. Summer, Carly, and Claire were among the woman who had fallen victim to the killer. The TMK, as he was being called in the papers, had also taken out one mob guy Logan, and a cop. Lucky Spencer. That last one wouldn't be missed.
Tonight the lunatic had come too close to taking Jason's heart. The mob boss had barely arrived in time to save Elizabeth's life. But he had done so, at a price. Which was why he was lying here in the hospital, and not out looking for the man who was cutting a swath through the citizens of the town. The guys were out searching, and finding him was now the number one criteria of the Morgan Organization. No one threatened Elizabeth and got away with it.
"What did Patrick say about your hands?" Elizabeth asked placing a trembling hand on Jason's arm. Tonight had been scary on a whole new level. She thought for sure she was going to die. That she wasn't going to be able to see her boys again.
She had been walking to her car after her shift ended when he stepped out and grabbed her. Elizabeth prided herself on being alert to her surroundings, but hadn't been aware he was there. He put her on the backseat of his car along with a bound and gagged Sam. The other woman had been struggling against her bindings with no success. Liz could only assume the madman's plan had been to strangle them both and leave them for dead. During the drive he had been ranting about hating Sonny and how everyone connected to the dead mob boss had to die. Liz still didn't know what that was about, and she needed to pass that information on.
The TMK killer had been reaching for her when Jason arrived. The two men had been fighting and hit the car several times. Each time pushing it closer to the cliff's edge, and that final time almost pushing it over. That was how the killer got away. Jason stopped fighting to keep her from dying. She and Sam had still been tied up. He had to choose which one of them to save. He had picked her. The look of shock in Sam's eyes said she hadn't expected that.
That was also when Jason tore the tendons in this wrists. Now he might not regain full use of his hands. Even if he did, he might be facing months of rehabilitation.
"He's going to perform surgery in the morning." Jason told her. "But this is beyond his specialty so I will need to see another doctor and maybe have another procedure."
"Patrick will know where to send you." Liz was confident of that.
"Will you and the boys move into the Towers?" Jason wanted them somewhere secure. He had guys watching her house, and there should have been someone shadowing her tonight. He would need to touch base with Johnny or Francis and find out what went wrong.
"I can do that." Liz figured a crew would be called to move all their things first thing in the morning. "Should I call Johnny or Francis to tell them I'm moving into the building?" After tonight with the serial killer still on the loose she wasn't going to argue.
"Johnny is aware." Jason had made Elizabeth call O'Brien before he let her call the police. Johnny had been out to the scene first, getting an update and then sending out instructions. Just as Jason finished talking Francis walked into the exam room.
"How bad is it?" The older man wanted to know.
"Not sure yet." Jason told his friend. After Sonny's death at the hands of Claudia Zacchara, Jason had asked both his friends if they wanted to buy into the business. Both turned him down, but they did decide it was time to return to Port Charles. Francis was now Jason's second in command, while Johnny was his enforcer. "I'm having surgery in the morning."
"Security is being set up now. How are you doing kid?" Francis asked his friend. They had all been frantic to find her after getting Jason's call. They had crews out searching, but no one was surprised that Jason got to her first. It was like he knew exactly where to look.
"Shook up." She said being honest. "The man who grabbed us spent a good portion of the ride out to the cliffs talking about Sonny. He was ranting about how much he hated him, but he didn't say why." She told them. The guard on the door would signal if someone was coming.
"Given the majority of victims selected that makes sense." Francis said nodding. "Almost every single woman on that growing list can be connected to Sonny in some way." He said thinking out loud. Of course the police wouldn't catch all the connections, some were not public knowledge, which meant the mob guys now had information the PCPD didn't.
"Even the guys can be connected to Sonny." Jason pointed out. Logan had worked for Corinthos Morgan after being fired by the Zaccharas. Lucky had at one point worked for Sonny as well, but that was years ago.
"True." Francis said nodding. With the new information they could see the pattern. "There is a guard waiting out in the hall for you." He told Elizabeth.
"I was planning on waiting until Jason was settled into his room before leaving." Liz told her friend. "I just want to make sure he doesn't need anything."
"There is plenty of staff working tonight, and we can handle anything Jason needs. So you can go. You too Francis." Robin said walking into the exam room. "How are you?" She asked Jason dismissing everyone else from the conversation.
"Fine." The mob boss answered. He wasn't in the mood for Robin's possessiveness. She had returned to Port Charles earlier in the summer to work on research, as well as see patients. This was where she planned to make her mark as a doctor. It was also clear that she wanted to reconcile with him. Which wasn't going to happen.
She had not been at all subtle in making that desire clear. It was causing friction here at the hospital with Em and Monica neither of whom were on board with that plan. As well as with Elizabeth. Robin saw the other petite brunette's friendship with Jason as a possible threat. "Good. I was looking over your chart, you've done a lot of damage." She shot a nasty look at Liz. "Maybe you should leave the white knight routine to someone else for a change."
"You aren't my doctor Robin, so you shouldn't be looking at my chart." Jason said point blank. He wasn't in the mood for this.
"No, she shouldn't." Patrick said coming back in. "We've already had one discussion about you sticking your nose in my cases." He had caught Robin looking at some of Jason's scans after the mob boss's annual checkup. It was the beginning of the friction with his newest colleague. "I don't think Monica wants to have to go through that again with us. Another formal complaint will see you facing a suspension."
"Jason is a friend." Robin said smiling at the mob boss, hopefully in time they could be more. Things had ended badly with them but now that some time had passed they could try again.
"All the more reason for you to not work this case. You will make decision based on emotion, which is never a good thing. You can go now." Patrick said stepping away from the door.
"I'll check on you after you are in your room." Robin said before leaving the exam room in a huff.
"Your guard can feel free to refuse her entry once you are upstairs, she isn't on your medical team." Patrick told the mob boss. "Why are you here?" He asked Liz, he would get back to Jason in a minute. "I thought you were taken upstairs to your room." The neurosurgeon wasn't overseeing her case; that was Matt. But Patrick heard his brother say Liz was staying overnight.
Liz didn't say anything realizing she had been busted. She totally planned on sneaking out of the building.
"What's wrong with Liz?" Francis wanted to know.
"Borderline concussion." The neurosurgeon said starting to smirk getting what he had done.
"There is a thing called doctor/patient privilege." Liz reminded him. She was so going to kick Patrick's butt.
"I'm not your doctor. If I was, you wouldn't have snuck out of your exam room." Patrick would keep her here until Matt came looking. "Jason, your surgery is first thing in the morning. I'm going to be skyping with Dr. Callie Torres of Sloan Grey in Seattle. She's the best in the country with this type of injury. After I finish up you will fly out and go see her for a follow up visit. If anyone can make sure you have full use of both hands again it's her. I'll do all I can for you here." Going just by the scans both doctors felt that the surgery should take place here. Callie said the sooner the injury was addressed the better the chances were she wouldn't have to operate as well. Although she still might have to go in. "Make sure she doesn't leave." Patrick pointed to Liz before walking out.
"Sneaking out is page from Jason's book." Francis said grinning.
"My sitter didn't sign up for overnight care." Liz told both men. "I'm already several hours late."
"I don't think that Nadine is going to complain about staying late. She will just be happy you are safe." Francis commented. Jason would say something soon. "With a head injury you are going to have some down time, which will work out well in you getting the boys settled in at my place." He lived in penthouse four and that was where they wanted everyone to think she was going to be staying. She would in actuality be across the hall in penthouse two with Jason. When they were ready his friends could go public.
"Don't argue. You won't win." Jason said knowing that she was going to say she was fine. "If the doctors want you to stay, then do so." He needed her healthy. "Francis can go get the boys and arrange overnight care. In the morning you can go home."
"Okay." Liz didn't want him worried about her.
"Hi." Monica was the next visitor in. "Jason and Liz your rooms are ready. They are right next door to one another." Which was intentional. When the hospital settled down for the night, her son was more than likely going to sneak out to find Liz anyway. May as well make it easy on him. "Emily is on her way to your house Liz to get the boys. She will come here in the morning. Nadine agreed to watch them during the surgery." Monica looked at her son. "Em will want to check in on you after your procedure is done." Keeping Emily away from the hospital tonight had been hard, but Jason didn't want her here in the building at the moment.
"I'll call her later. Thank you Monica." Liz felt good knowing she had support from Jason's family. They knew about Jake and had welcomed him and Cameron into the family. They also knew she was seeing Jason in secret and tried to help that along by watching the boys from time to time. Monica and Emily both understood why they were keeping things quiet. They both wanted Liz and Jason to get it right this time.
"You're welcome." The Chief of Staff said as a nurse came over with a wheelchair. "Hop in, I'm driving." She said smiling at Liz.
"I can walk." Liz just barely qualified for a concussion. Honestly she thought Matt was being overly cautious.
"No, you can't." Monica would be happy to pull rank. "Francis make sure that one doesn't try to escape." She said poking fun at her son.
"Will do." Francis replied. He waited until the ladies had left. "Doug is dead." That was the guard who was shadowing Liz. "We found him by the dumpsters. Did you get a look at the guy while you were fighting him?"
"No, he was wearing a ski mask. Elizabeth said he never took it off." Jason was frustrated. No one could find this guy. "Based on the fact that he knows Sonny so well he has to be local. There has to be a point of connection we are missing. With Sonny dead he isn't being hurt by these murders. So there has to be another motivation. Especially because Elizabeth wouldn't fit in with that. What else do all the victims have in common?"
"A lot of things. With them all being local, there are a lot of points of overlap." Francis had been thinking along the same lines, so he had already started doing some research on this. "I asked Spinelli to do deep runs on everyone and I expect info in the morning. When I have it I will create a chart. Maybe if I can see it that way then I can spot what is driving this freak. There are other people in this town connected to Sonny, who haven't been targeted." With the killer sending out text message taunts it was easy to figure out what was on the kill list. "And Liz is connected to Sonny because she was his sister in-law at one point." None of them liked to think back on Liz's marriages to Lansing, but now it couldn't be overlooked.
"I want a more visible security presence on Elizabeth and the boys from this point forward. Emily as well." Jason told his friend. His little sister had dated Sonny briefly.
"Emily's security team is already in place." Francis had dispatched guards when Liz was taken.
"Whoever is doing this, isn't going to get the chance to try again." Jason said his eyes going flat with rage.
"No he isn't." Francis nodded agreeing with that statement.
"Here we are, a lovely room with a view of the parking lot." Monica said grinning. "I had a gown brought up for you."
"Thank you." Liz hated staying in the hospital.
"In the morning Epiphany is going to list you as unfit for hospital work due to your injury." Monica held up her hand to halt the objection. She had seen the scans and knew Liz could do ward work with no issue. "But not that you need to go out on disability. With you not on the schedule it leaves you open for private duty. I think my son would be in good hands with you as his nurse while he is in Seattle, because we both know he isn't going to behave. So I'd like to hire you." Patrick was going to put restrictions on what Jason was allowed to do. "I also want you and my grandsons out of the city. I'm trying to get Em to leave for a while as well." Monica was pulling strings to get her daughter a placement elsewhere. Port Charles just wasn't safe right now.
"I might be able to help you with Em." Liz told the surgeon. "However she might have to commit to being away for a few months. I know Steven could use some help. He is looking for a pediatric surgeon. Em could fill in as a standard pediatrician as well since she did some rotations there during her residency. He's not in a war zone, so you wouldn't have to worry about that." Her parents were which was why she didn't suggest calling them. Her brother was in Malta where the organization focused on providing health care to refugees seeking asylum.
"I would appreciate that." Monica knew that Emily wouldn't argue about going to do that kind of work.
"Let me call him. He may not answer." Liz warned. There was a time difference to take into account, and Steven was busy. "But he will hopefully call me back as soon as he can." They didn't talk that frequently. Liz pulled out her phone and dialed her brother's number.
Thanks for the reviews!
