Hi All! I'm back with a reader request story. I had to take a long this break this time to deal with my eye issues, there was also a death as well as other family members health issues I was dealing with. So thank you for being patient that I was away from the boards.

This story is AU/AH. Altered character histories will discussed in the story. The focus of this story is Liason, but there secondary couples mentioned. There is a new for me pairing in this story, and I'm curious to see how it goes over with you guys. I like it so there is a good chance you'll see it again at some point.

As stated above this is a reader request. Dottie and I had some great chats while I was putting this one together. She had some things she wanted to see take place, and I did my best to make them happen So Dottie I hope you enjoy where I went with the prompts that you gave me.

I tried a new writing style for this one. The main complaint I get is that my chapters are too short, so I worked on making them longer. Honestly I don't enjoy this new style. It will appear in one other story I'm working on but that will probably be it. As the writer I need to put my comfort first, sorry if you think that is selfish. You will get chapters on a daily basis, unless life happens, so that will have to be enough.

Thank you Liason102 for the edit, and for patiently waiting for me to have something to send you. As always it is a pleasure to work with you.

Story is rated M/MA.

Chapter 1

"So what is the deal with you and Jason?" Emily turned her eyes to her best friend. If she hadn't already had three shots of tequila she probably wouldn't have worked up the nerve to ask. Her brother was notoriously private about his social life. Her best friend was the same way.

"There is no deal." Liz said sipping her soda. She was the designated driver on tonight's outing. Everyone in the crew took a turn. On special nights when they were all drinking, generally a birthday, then Em brought a limo from the mansion. However on those nights they weren't hanging out at The No Name.

"Please." Carly said rolling her eyes. "We all know you have the hots for him. It's been that way for years." She was also feeling the alcohol.

"Make me sound old why don't you." Liz said grinning at her friend. "I'm only twenty-six."

"And you've known Jason since you were a teenager." Robin was the most hammered of the bunch, which wasn't surprising. The reason they were out tonight was to get her drunk. A few days ago she ended her relationship with Patrick after he cheated on her with an ex-girlfriend of his. So tonight they were having a good old fashioned man bashing session. That was why they were here and not at Jake's. If they went to the waterfront dive bar they would have to take guards, and tonight they were creating a man free zone. "And it was lust at first sight."

"Of course it was lust at first sight. That was the first clue they were meant to be together." Carly commented. "No one at this table blames you." The blonde woman told Elizabeth.

"We aren't here to talk about my social life." Liz said getting them back on track. "We are here to call Patrick as many names as we can think of." She was also out with her friends to take her mind off the message she received this afternoon. Her professional life could take a huge leap forward if things worked out for her.

"Technically it would be a nonsocial life." Nadine said grinning. Like everyone else at the table, except Liz, the nurse was a few shots in. She would be switching to soda soon though because hangovers sucked. Plus if she was drunk she wouldn't be able to jump her guy when she got home. His morals would get in the way.

"She has a point." Georgie said backing up her friend. "Since you aren't dating, there is no social life to talk about. You could be dating though. Jason is totally into you."

"Guys, we're just friends." Liz didn't want to discuss this. It was true they were currently in the friend zone. It was also true that they would more than likely be changing that soon. Very soon. When she first met Jason, yes she had crushed on him, but she never considered he would return her interest. Plus she was too young for him to date, so they became friends. Over the course of that friendship, once she was of age, they were never single at the same time. Until now. He ended his last relationship first and had been single for almost a year. Her last relationship crashed and burned about six months ago. Like Robin her ex cheated on her. Unlike Robin it was with someone Liz trusted. "Let it go."

"I don't think we should." Emily looked over at the woman she thought of like a sister. Liz dating Jason would be awesome, and it totally needed to happen. Emily saw how her brother looked at the designer when he thought no one was looking. Liz was often sneaking peeks too. They just needed a push. Looking across the table she saw Carly was smirking. Her sister in-law might be the perfect partner for this caper.

"Em's right. You're the only one whose social life needs fixing." Carly pushed her glass aside. They had a bottle in the middle of the table and if she wanted another drink she could help herself.

"Robin just got cheated on." Liz pointed out.

"Thanks for the reminder." Robin rolled her eyes. "I almost forgot."

"Robin is hopeless." Carly was not a fan which was why she and the doctor didn't hang out. They had at one point competed for the attention of a couple of the same guys, Jason included. Neither one of them got the blonde's mobster's attention though. Carly thought him ignoring her was the best thing that ever happened to her because it lead to her being available for AJ when he returned from London. "She was lucky to even get Patrick."

"I'm not too drunk to kick your ass." Robin snarled even though the exact opposite was true.

"Why don't we table a discussion of my cousin's social life for the moment?" Georgie said trying to calm the flare up. "Instead we can focus our attention on Liz. It's too early for Robin to even think of dating."

"Is anyone sitting at this booth on my side?" Liz asked looking at her friends.

"I am." Nadine said raising her hand. "We should drop it. Mainly because Liz is just too chicken to go for it. Jason too if we are being honest. Because yup, he is way into you. Although before we officially begin not talking about that. Carly why are you here? You hate Robin, so a pick me up party for her is the last place you should be." Nadine didn't interact much with Emily's sister in-law, but she knew the history between the two women.

"Em invited me." Carly really liked her husband's sister. Which was something of a surprise. She rarely got along with other women, but Emily and Liz had bucked that trend. The three women were pretty much inseparable most of the time. Now Carly was slowly making friends with the other ladies.

"Just because you don't want to stay in the mansion because your in-laws hate you doesn't mean you need to crash my party." Robin was ready for a fight.

"My parents adore Carly. She's much better than AJ's last girlfriend." Emily didn't sit by and let anyone bad mouth her sister.

"Brenda was the best thing that ever happened to AJ." Robin said feeling her temper rise. The model was like family.

"Really, so her sleeping with Jagger was just for AJ's own good?" Emily shot back. "Considering why we are in this bar I would think you are the last person who would be defending a traitorous whore."

"Robin, let's go to the bathroom. Then we can step out and get some air." Georgie was afraid a fistfight was going to break out any second now. Robin was the outsider in this group, normally she wasn't invited to their Girl's Night Out due to the fact that no one really liked her. However Georgie had organized this get together and she was trying to help Robin make some friends. Without Patrick she was worried her cousin would be lonely.

"I'm done here." Robin said standing up. "I don't need anyone's pity." The short doctor said just a bit too loudly. Heads turned in their direction at her announcement. "I can get another guy if I want. Jason is single maybe he'll be interested in me."

"She doesn't mean that." Georgie said getting up as well. The last thing Robin needed was for Liz to dislike her too. Especially considering that Jeff Webber was the Chief of Staff at General Hospital. Pissing off your boss's daughter was a recipe for a short career. It was good thing Emily hadn't gone into medicine because Robin would really be screwed as Monica was the Chief of Surgery.

"I know." Liz knew that the short doctor wasn't interested in Jason. Robin was trying to get a rise out of Carly. The blonde woman and the enforcer had become friends once she realized she wasn't actually interested in him. "Maybe you should take her home though." Liz had reached her quota of Robin time. She didn't dislike the short doctor, but they couldn't be called friends either.

"We'll go to the bathroom and I'll call a taxi from there. We will wait outside for it to arrive." Georgie said gathering their things. This neighborhood was safe enough that they could do so. At Jake's they had to wait inside the bar because of the neighborhood. "Liz I'll catch up with you later in the week."

"I'll be around." Liz waved at her friend. She and Georgie met at the hospital where Elizabeth volunteered, and Georgie came to visit her ill sister. When Maxie was in surgery Liz had sat with Georgie and held her hand.

"Okay, with the problem child gone." Emily said snidely. "We can focus on Elizabeth and Jason."

"Yes, we can." Carly nodded her agreement. Nadine was doing the same thing.

"Oh bother." Liz said thinking she picked the wrong night to not drink.

The No Name was firmly in Corinthos Morgan territory, so the ladies weren't worried about who was overhearing their conversation. Members of local rival families didn't frequent the establishment because they knew they wouldn't be welcomed. Locals however were another story. On most weeknights the bar would be busy with folks having a drink after work or simply hanging out with friends.

The man sitting in the booth behind the ladies had come in to blow off some steam. He was with a group of friends from work. Normally they hung out at Jake's, but the pool tables were full so they came over here tonight. Which proved to be a stroke of luck. With six of them they were shooting pool tournament style, with the winner of each round playing the next person in the queue until someone took the pot. He had been in the first round and lost. Hanging around the pool table was a lot less fun than flirting with the pretty waitress at their booth so he came to sit down.

And got to overhear the conversation taking place behind him.

In a town of mobsters information was its own form of currency. An informant could make a lot of quick cash if he overheard the right thing. Logan was thinking that tonight he had stumbled across something potentially worth a whole lot of money. Finishing his beer he walked out of the bar, telling his friends he was going to get something from his truck. Inside the cab he placed a call.

"Smith." Zander was stretched out on the sofa watching television. He had considered going out but decided against it. There was too much potential for picking up a woman who would be hard to shake off. He had a great girl and screwed around on her. The look of hurt on Elizabeth's face was one he wouldn't ever forget. She wasn't ever going to forgive him, which he had earned, but he wished there was a way he could change that. He thought if he had another chance he could do better.

"Your ex-girlfriend is in the No Name." Logan passed along. "With Morgan's sister, sister in-law, and Paul's girlfriend."

"Okay." Zander replied in a voice that said this news wasn't of interest to him. "It's a free country, she can go drinking with her friends."

"I thought you might like to know that apparently Morgan is interested in her, and from what I hear the feeling is mutual." Logan passed along.

"And your point is?" Zander already knew that. Anyone with working eyes could see the attraction. They could also see that they were both fighting it. If he had to guess he would say that Liz was done with mobsters. He worked for Lorenzo Alcazar who was a frenemy of the Corinthos Morgan organization. At the moment things were fine between them mainly because his boss was dating Skye Chandler, who happened to be Morgan's half-sister.

"You mentioned wanting to make things right for your ex. This is your chance." Logan pointed out. This was also his chance to make some cash, but he was going to need some help. Zander could do that without even realizing it.

"I'm not following you." Zander turned off the television and sat up. Logan was generally a good source of information. A couple of things that he had brought to Zander's attention turned out to be correct, and valuable. Along the way they had struck up a friendship. Zander had even offered to get his friend a job, but Logan said no thanks.

Hayes laid out his plan, or as much of it that he had, and was willing to share, at the moment. He started formulating it at the table so it was still rough. Even so it was a good a plan. "Well what do you think?"

"I think it could work." Zander had to admit. It was a bit dramatic for his tastes, but Logan was a go big or go home kind of guy. "However I can't be involved in anything like that. If I get caught my boss will kill me if Morgan doesn't." Lorenzo had very strict rules about how they treated women. Zander cheating on Liz had actually got him demoted.

"You won't be involved. Not directly. I'll do all the work. I only need two things from you. One is silence." Logan then explained what the second thing was. "In the end Morgan and your ex-girlfriend will be together, which will make up for what you did. Or you could come rescue her and maybe she'll give you another chance."

"We aren't getting back together." Although what Logan was suggesting might help Zander change that. "Why are you doing this any way? It can't be out of the goodness of your heart." He pointed out the thing that didn't fit.

"Nope." Logan said being partially honest. "I am doing this so that you will owe me one. Favors are always a good thing to have in your pocket." Not that he planned on collecting. Once he had his money Logan was leaving Port Charles behind for somewhere snow didn't exist. When the news of what happened broke Zander's part in things would ensure his silence. "Are you in?" If the other man said no Logan would have to scrap the entire plan, or kill Zander whichever worked.

"I'm in." Zander wasn't sure he believed that Logan could be trusted to not hurt Liz. By agreeing he could keep an eye on the dockworker. "Call me when you have her."

"Stay by your phone. I'm thinking I won't get a better shot than tonight." Logan said before hanging up and watching the four women walk from the bar. "Right time, right place, and a hell of a pay off because of it." He said grinning as he started the car.

"Nadine I'm going to drop you off first. Then I'll take the troublesome twosome home." Liz had been the one to decide they should call it a night. She wasn't going to sit there and listen to the three of them plan how she should get Jason's attention.

Yes she and the mob boss were still friends, but that was changing. She knew he was interested in pursuing a romantic relationship, just like he knew the same about her. They were moving forward at their own pace and didn't need any interference. In fact he had called her earlier today and asked if they could go for a ride tomorrow night. She was pretty sure the evening was going to end with him asking her out on a date. She was going to say yes.

"We weren't that bad." Carly said buzzed from her shots. She and Em were going to have to sneak into the mansion. Lila would help them with that. "We were just pointing out that the two of you are wasting time."

"Time you could be naked and rolling around in bed." Nadine added on laughing.

"I didn't need to hear that." Emily told the nurse practitioner. "While yes I do want Liz and Jason to become a couple, I don't want to think about them being naked."

"No one needs to think about me being naked." Liz said shooting her friend, who was in the front passenger seat, a look. "In fact you guys don't need to worry about my social life at all."

"Is there something you want to share?" Carly asked leaning as far forward as her seatbelt would allow. "Because we are all ears."

Liz just reached forward and turned on the radio. Hopefully the music would encourage them to not talk. If they stayed quiet there was a good chance everyone would make it home friendships intact. Tomorrow she would need to track down Georgie and make sure she was okay. If Liz was feeling nice she might even ask about Robin.

Liz made the turn off of the road that lead to The No Name and onto the one that connected to the Main Street of Port Charles. This time of night there wouldn't be much traffic, namely because not many folks in the harbor town went out drinking in the middle of the week. Everyone in this car, had odd hours.

Nadine worked all manner of shifts at the hospital. Emily was in graduate school and her first class tomorrow wasn't until ten. Carly owned a hotel and generally worked most weekends so she took weekdays off. Tomorrow she could sleep in if she wanted. Liz was a fashion designer and that meant she could set her own hours. She had just sent a collection off to the seamstresses so right now she was having a short holiday before she started working again. The night out with her friends had seemed like a great way to start the celebration, even without alcohol.

Liz was humming along to the radio, while her friends chatted, as she made the turn. She was listening to the conversation with one ear as they headed home. The song changed and at the same time the truck on the opposite side of the road veered into her lane and hit the front of her car. The air bags deployed as all four ladies were thrown forward. Thank goodness she had insisted that everyone buckle up before they left the parking lot.

One of the great things about this plan was that Logan knew exactly where the ladies were headed when they left the bar. There was only one way to get to the establishment from the harbor town. With Zander's ex behind the wheel that meant she was dropping her passengers off first. If he had to guess he would say Paul's girl first, and then the Quartermaine ladies. Although it didn't really matter. The same road lead to both locations.

So he simply pulled out of the parking lot first. He drove up the road a piece, made a U-turn, turned off his lights and waited. Liz, although they didn't know one another so he would call her Elizabeth when they finally met, drove a bright yellow Beetle so when she turned onto the road he easily spotted her. The only thing left was to stop them, and seeing as his car was twice the size of hers that wouldn't be a problem. In fact he barely felt it at all when he rammed the front side panel of her car.

He was out of his truck and beside the smaller car quickly. He arrived just as Elizabeth pushed her air bag out of her face. A quick look showed that all the ladies were unharmed. He tapped on the driver's side window with his Glock and watched her eyes widened. "Hello ladies." He said with a bright smile. "I'm going to need all of you to get out of the truck. Hands where I can see them please."

Inside the car the ladies looked at each other. "My car isn't bulletproof." Liz let them know. So really the only option they had was to follow instructions.

"If we just give him all our valuables, I'm sure he'll leave us alone." Carly said hopefully. "It's not that long of walk back to the bar." Suddenly she was feeling a lot less buzzed.

"You're burning daylight ladies, as it were. I'd hate to have to start shooting." He said still smiling. Liz opened her door at the same time Nadine did. When they were all standing outside the car in a line Logan nodded. "Cell phones please." He said in that same friendly tone he'd been using since walking over. "Thank you."

Hopefully this was just a run of the mill carjacking. Most robbers didn't actually want to hurt anyone. They just wanted to scare their victims into cooperating. Nadine was very much aware that this could be related to what her boyfriend, and Emily's brother did. Hopefully that wasn't the case. Her cellphone could be easily replaced, but if this was because of the business they could very well be looking at a life and death situation. The longer he went without demanding any other valuables the more worried she became.

"Now. You are going to come with me." He said looking at Elizabeth. "If you ladies don't follow the directions I'm about to give you I'll shoot your friend. You three are going to go home. I want you to start by telling Morgan he doesn't need to try and be a superhero. Him doing the wrong thing will get Elizabeth hurt. I'll be in contact later about her returning to her loved ones. Are we clear?" He wanted to know.

"They'll behave." Liz answered before anyone else could. Carly had that look in her eyes that could mean trouble. She wouldn't hesitate to try something. With that gun in his hand whoever the guy standing in front of them was, he had the advantage.

"For your sake I hope so." Logan waved the gun, silently instructing Elizabeth to start walking. At the truck he tied her hands behind her back before instructing her to get into the backseat of the cab where her feet were tied, and she was gagged. To do that he had to take his eyes off the other three ladies, but when he looked back they were still in the same spots. He jumped down and got behind the wheel. His vehicle started up with no issue and he made another U-turn tossing the cellphones out the window as he drove off.

"Get the license plate number!" Emily yelled as she ran to where their phones had landed.

"The lights on the truck are off, I couldn't see it." Nadine said terrified for her friend.

"Me either." Carly said grabbing her phone. The screen was cracked and she couldn't turn it on. "My phone is dead."

"Can you drive?" Emily asked turning her device on. She and Nadine had the same phones the guys in the organization did. They also had the same protective covers. It would take a bomb blast to make the devices not work.

"Yeah." Carly normally would never get behind the wheel after a night of drinking but this was an emergency.

"I'll call while you do. Let's see if we can find him." Emily said as they ran back to the car. Right now all they could say was that he drove off in the direction of downtown. If he kept driving there was no telling where he would end up.

Carly got behind the wheel and turned the key but the engine didn't flare to life. "Come on." She said trying again. "Shit!" She said hitting the wheel after the third time with no success.

Meanwhile both Emily and Nadine were making calls. It was Em who got an answer first. "Jason, Elizabeth's been kidnapped."

Thanks for the reviews!
