Chapter 2
Jason moved to deepen her kiss. He placed his hands in her hair and parting her lips with his. Slowly slipping his tongue to meet hers. At that moment a knock at the door pulled them back to reality. Liz went to pull back but Jason kept his hold on either side of her head and held her to him, resting his forehead on hers he whispered "Damnit".
A second knock came and reluctantly he pulled away, got up and answered the door. Liz got up from the table as soon as she saw Johnny Zacharra was standing on the other side fo the door. "What are you doing here?"
"Umm, I wanted to talk to you about my father."
Liz walked toward the door where the two men were standing "I should go." She looked past Johnny and saw Max and another guard in the hall. "Max will you take me to my car now?"
Jason looked to Max and nodded then turned back to Liz. "Be careful, we will finish our conversation later." The thought sent a shiver throughout Liz's body. Her eyes met his and suddenly they felt like they were the only two in the room. Max, beginning to feel a little uncomfortable, cleared his throat.
They snapped back to reality, Liz gathered her things and walked out the door past Johnny and Jason, turning back once in the hallway her eyes met his one last time and was finally able to say "Bye".
Johnny walked past Jason as he shut the door. "Have your men found my father yet?"
"And if we have?"
"Look Jason, I'm not here to ask you to spare his life. My father is a sick man and sometimes I do think that it would be better if he was not around. I'm worried about Lulu. I don't want her to get hurt because of me."
"Lulu is fine, Spinelli is with her at the hospital visiting her dad. I have a guard on her so she is protected. And your father, no we have not found him yet, but we will… before Trevor and his men. So why are you here, do you wanna work with us, do you want me to believe that you will work against your father and Trevor?"
"Yes."
"For Lulu, a girl that you have known for how long, I don't buy it. Why should I trust you?"
Johnny headed to the door and turned back to Jason, "I don't know how I can convince you but I will say that I know my father better then anyone, whatever my motive is, I know that it is more beneficial for us to work together then fight each other and look for him at the same time. Whether you like it or not, I did save you and Elizabeth. I'll be in touch." Once Johnny left Jason picked up his phone and dialed.
"Stonecold!"
"Spinelli, I need you to get to the Penthouse, now!" with that, the conversation ended, before he could reply Jason flipped his phone closed.

Liz couldn't wait to get the boys so she picked them up anyway. She opened the door to her house and Cam ran right to his room to play. Jake had fallen asleep during the ride from Grams house so she carried him upstairs and placed him in his crib. Max had taken her to her care then she noticed he had followed her to Grams house then here. When she pulled up she saw another care sitting in front, Max got out of his car and walked up to the other car, said a few words to the man in it and got back into his car and drove away.
Coming downstairs and sitting on the couch, she thought back to everything that happened with Jason. She sat there for what seemed like hours, suddenly panic set in. Lucky! He knows, what was she going to do. She hurt him, she hurt Jason, things got so out of hand. She found herself wondering where Lucky was. She felt like she needed to talk to him, he was angry when he found out but Jason and Sam were there, she needed to talk to him without Sam yelling in his ear. She reached for her cell phone and dialed Lucky's number. "Damnit, voicemail" she heard the beep. "Lucky, its Elizabeth, I know you hate me but I think we need to talk, alone. I need to explain everything to you. Please call me when you get this." She got up and went upstairs to find Cam sound asleep surrounded by train tracks. She picked him up off the floor, moved him to the bed, she gave him a kiss on his forehead and turned to walk out of the room. She stopped and turned on his nightlight. Walking back to her room she decided a nice long shower was what she needed. She stood under the shower for what felt like an hour. Finally gathering the energy to wash her hair and body. She wrapped herself in her robe and flopped on her bed. She turned on the TV but before she could decide on what to watch she fell asleep.
--------
Jason took a quick shower then sat on the phone. He talked to Max who told him everything is good with Liz and that she was home safe. Sonny called him when he got home from the hospital, he filled Sonny in on everything and Sonny agreed that trusting Johnny could be a mistake. Sonny agreed to rest for the night and they would meet at the coffeehouse in the morning. He had called a few of his men to get the status on the hunt for Zacharra but they had no leads. Finally the door flung open.
"Stonecold, my esteemed apologies, the blonde one wanted to…"
Lulu appeared from behind and interrupted "Sorry Jason, I was hungry so we stopped at Kelly's."
"Its ok, how's Luke?"
"Better… he's going to need to take it easy for a while. I need a shower and clean clothes, I'm going to go upstairs." Lulu turned and walked up the stirs, slowly. It was obvious that she needed a nap too.
"Spinelli I need you to find all you can on Johnny Zacharra. I need to know everything you can find on him. Then I need you to get on the hunt for Anthony Zacharra. Check bank records, surveillance cameras, anything you can. The longer we wait the harder it will be to find him."
"I will commence immediately Stonecold."
"I will be back later, call me if you find anything important." Jason grabbed his leather jacket and left.
