"I'm going out," called Jason, walking down the stairs. He decided to do some investigation of his on. He couldn't let Brenda and him go to jail for a crime they didn't commit.

"Where are you going?" asked Brenda, jumping from the couch.

"Out," called Jason, grabbing his coat. He didn't want Brenda coming with him, this could be dangerous. The killer is still out there, he thought.

"Fine then you won't mind me going with you," Brenda said, reaching for her coat. She stopped when Jason stepped in her way.

"Yea I do mind," he said a little annoyed. "This is business, so stay here and don't do anything stupid," he said harshly.

"I'm not stupid Jason, I know you're either going to see Snow White, or investigate," she shouted, glaring at Jason. "So which is it," she said adamantly.

Jason just stared at Brenda, he knew there was no point in lying to her, she was just going to do what she wanted anyway.

"I'm going back to Alcazar's yacht, there has got to be something there, but I'm going alone," he said.

"Huh the hell you are, I'm going with you," she said resolutely. She grabbed her coat. This is her life too, and she'll be damned if she let Jason be in control of it.

"No you're not," Jason said menacingly. He didn't have time for this, he was beginning to lose his patience fast.

"And why the hell not, I have just as much as right to be there than you Jason. Now I know you're slow so I'm going to say this one more time, I'm going with you," she said condescendingly.

"AHHH! Jason grunted rubbing his face. Brenda I don't have time for this, it's too dangerous, so you're staying here, and that's final!" he yelled.

"But," Brenda said. "But nothing," Jason interrupted her before she could say anything else. He then opened the door, slamming it behind him, causing Brenda to jump.




Jason was at Alcazar's yacht, looking for anything that could prove that Brenda and him didn't kill Alcazar. He was becoming frustrated, he looked everywhere, but still nothing. But then he stopped , because he heard a noise. He carefully took his gun from his waistband, walking towards the noise. He stopped at Alcazar's bedroom, as he heard some rumbling coming from the other side of the door. He opens the door slowly, seeing a small figure messing with some papers on a desk.

"Don't move," Jason says to the figure.

"AHH,' Brenda screams, as the voice startles her. Then she realizes that the voice belongs to Jason.

"Brenda! he whispers harshly. What are you doing here. Do you ever listen to anything I say," he yells. He is livid at this point.

"Look you need me whether you realize this or not, we are in this together. I've been with Alcazar for four years, and I know a lot of things, I can be useful," she reasons.

"Fine," he gritted between his teeth. His anger calming down a little bit.

"What have you found so far," she says noticing that he is calming down.

"Nothing, absolutely nothing, he said, rubbing his hand across his face. We're trapped and we don't have a key," he says beginning to realize that they're are in more trouble than he thought.

"A key that's it," Brenda said, more to herself than to Jason. She just realized it. She doesn't know why she didn't think of it before. She then started looking in the draws, searching for something.

"What's it, what are you looking for?" Jason ask curiously. Noticing Brenda just realized something. "Did you just remember something," he ask anxiously.

"Yea, keys, Louis had a set of keys for all of his warehouses. He had a lot, I think he had a least two in Port Charles. And in those warehouses he kept videotapes. He taped everything including his meetings he had in his office with other clients," she said while still searching for the keys.

Jason let the information sink in his head, and soon he was searching too.

"Found them! I found them!" Jason heard Brenda scream.

"Good, let's go," he said, rushing out of the door.

"Good? That's it's, no congratulations Brenda for saving our asses," Brenda said, a little annoyed that Jason didn't acknowledge her deed.

Jason stopped, realizing that Brenda wasn't moving. "Congratulations Brenda for saving our asses," he said sarcastically. "Now lets go," he said grabbing her arm and rushing out of the room.




Jason and Brenda went to the closest warehouse near the docks. When they got in, they went to the back, to the office.

"Do you know where he kept the tapes," Jason asked, opening draws and file cabinets. He looked up noticing Brenda walking towards a picture, and looking at it strangely.
She then took the picture off the wall revealing a safe. "How did you?" Jason asked.

"I don't know, I just remembered something about that picture," Brenda said with a puzzled look on her face. This didn't go unnoticed by Jason.

"Well, do you know the combination?" Jason asked, getting a little worried by Brenda's face expression to the question. She looked almost sad.

"Yeah, it's my birthday," she said desolately. She then began turning the knob. It opened, and inside was documents and tapes.

Jason took the tapes and walked towards the T.V. and slipped a tape in the VCR. And sure enough the tape showed Alcazar talking to someone. Brenda and Jason realized the person right off the back. It was Rick.

"Oh my God, it's Rick our lawyer, we have to get these tapes to Taggert now.

"I knew I didn't trust that bastard," Jason said, fuming.

Both Jason and Brenda unaware that someone was watching them.

As they start making their way towards the door of the warehouse, they stop, as they see Rick pointing a gun at them. Jason quickly goes for his gun, but then Rick points the gun at Brenda.

"Don't or I'll shoot her," he says.

Jason stops, but still has his hand on the gun.

"Drop it now, or I'll shoot your pretty little wife over here," he snickers.

Jason goes over the possibilities in his head and knows that there's no other solution but to drop the gun. So, he slowly begins to put the gun on the ground, but before he can, he sees a smug look on Rick's face, and sees Rick pull the trigger.

"Brenda! Get down!," Jason yells, as he pushes her to the ground, while shooting at Rick. Rick quickly dodges the bullet by hiding behind a crate. Jason falls on Brenda, and she notices that his shoulder was bleeding. Another shot is fired over there heads. So she quickly grabs the gun and fires at the wall, hitting her target. And the alarm goes off. Rick hesitates, but bolts out of there before the cops could come.

"Oh my God, Jason you've been shot. We've got to get you to the hospital.

"No! I'm fine, it's too dangerous at the hospital, he'll know where to find us. He then tries to get up, but falls back down in pain. Brenda is quickly at his side, trying to help him up. He then notices her eyes, a jumble of emotions flashing across her eyes. Was that fear? She was scared, but not for her, for him.

"No, you have to get out of here before the cops come, and get those tapes to Sonny," he says, breathing heavily now.

"But what about you, no I'm not leaving you here Jason so you can take the blame. We're getting out of here together. She tries to grab for his arm, but he pushes her away.

"Brenda listen to me, get out of here, I'll only slow you down, we don't have time to argue. Now Go!" he yells.

"No! You listen, when are you going to realize that we are in this together. I'm not going anywhere Jason," she whispers, on the brink of tears. And he can see it in her eyes that she means it.

"We have to go now," he says. And she makes a sigh of relief, when she hears him say "we." She then grabs his other shoulder, careful not to hurt his wounded one, and puts it around her shoulder, trying to balance some of his body weight. He was losing a lot of blood, the color was beginning to fade from his face.

They got out of the warehouse just in time, before the cops came. They were on the docks now, and Brenda stopped. She sat Jason down on the bench, knowing he needed a break, whether he would admit it or not.

"We have to keep moving," he says out of breath.

"OK, hold on," she says. She then takes the tape and goes to the edge of the dock, and bends down and puts the tape on the ledge underneath the docks. She then goes back to Jason, and notices that he's not looking so good.

"Jason we have to get you some help, you've lost a lot of blood, you could go into shock. Let's go to the hospital, " she pleaded with him. For some reason it scared her to death to think of Jason dying.

"It's too dangerous, we can't go back to the PH either, he'll look there too. We don't have anywhere to go," he said tiredly. And Brenda began to think, and she realized that she didn't have a choice.

"I know a place we can go," she says.
