Faceless – Chapter Three
In the distance Jason heard the twinkling sound of carousel music. Walking down a long, dark hallway, at the end a soft white glow outlined a door in the darkness. Opening the door Jason saw Sam sitting on the floor of the nursery, a box of baby stuff between her legs, Jason then watched as he entered the room. Confused he realized he was watching the conversation with Sam that changed his life. Prior to their final meeting in the nursery Jason remembered telling Sam on the rooftop that Elizabeth was pregnant and it could be his, the look in her eyes knocked the air from his lungs.
"You always had a reason why it was the wrong time. Jason, how could you deny me a child and give one to Elizabeth."
Jason listened as his dream persona gave her some poor excuse about not planning on giving Liz a child. How he had never been in this type of situation before, that it wasn't like Carly and Michael or even Sam and her unborn child. How he was sorry for pushing her away that he took he choice away from her.
"If the baby is yours don't you want to raise it with Elizabeth? Of course you would, in fact if I know you at all I would guess you have already asked her to marry you."
Jason knew what came next, helpless to stop it, he could not take his eyes off Sam as dream Jason told her if Liz was pregnant with his baby he would marry her. The anguish on her face caused him physical pain, he never believed he was capable of wounding her so badly.
"She is getting everything I have ever wanted, she is pregnant with your child and I am only a memory."
Jason screamed at dream Jason. 'Don't let her go, please." Standing in the doorway Jason cried out in pain as Sam released dream Jason's arm and walked right through him and out the door.
Falling to his knees Jason sobbed "We need her, she is our heart, without her we can not live." Suddenly as if dream Jason became aware of his presence the men looked at each other, broken and lost.
"Jason!"
Unconsciously Jason grabbed his gun pointing it in the direction of the voice.
"Damn, its just me." Sonny gazed at his oldest and dearest friend. "Are you ok, thought I heard you cry out."
"I am fine."
Concerned Sonny pressed "You didn't sound fine to me."
"I said I'm fine." angry energy rolled through him like a tide, silently cautioning anyone who would press him.
Respecting his wishes Sonny dropped the concern. "Did you get anywhere with the Mendoza men?
"Nothing. I pushed them beyond their limits, they remained consistent with the story, they don't know anything about the ambush."
"Max told me you really messed them up."
Jason shrugged and continued to stare forward. "I did my job."
"I am sending you down to the island to supervise the new warehouse operations."
"Send Max or Milo, hell send Stan he is always bitching about wanting to get away. You need me here to deal with the Mendoza family."
"I will handle the Mendoza's, I want you on the island."
Scowling Jason pocketed his gun "Fine. I will this afternoon." slamming the door behind him Sonny knew Jason was not pleased.
Opening his phone he called Carly. "He is leaving this afternoon."
"Great. I'm outside Alexis office, are you sure she will give me Sam's location."
"Only if you ask nicely." hearing Carly grumble Sonny laughed "Good luck."
"Thank you for meeting me on such short notice."
Alexis nodded "You said it was an emergency."
"It is." Taking a deep breath Carly continued "I need to get a hold of Sam."
Brow furrowed Alexis shook her head "Why? Last time I checked you and my daughter were not close."
"We aren't but I need her help with Jason."
Alexis chuckled coldly "And why would Sam want to help Jason? He broke up with her then turned around and got Elizabeth Webber pregnant, the man broke her heart and drove her away from Port Charles."
Carly stared at the women across from her. "Are you really going to lay Sam's departure from Port Charles at Jason's feet?"
"Is that so hard to believe? He destroyed Sam, thus robbing me the chance to bond with my daughter."
It was Carly's time to chuckle. "Are you serious? The amount of guilt you forced down Jason's throat suffocated him. Breaking up with Sam was the hardest thing the man has ever had to do."
"Carly if you are trying to plead Jason's case you are wasting your breath. Jason is a killer, a criminal who has no regard for society's rules and limitations. Excuse me for not thinking about his happiness, karma finally caught up with him and it almost killed my child."
"You are unbelievable Jason made Sam happy, he accepted the good and the bad, he made Sam believe she was worth while and loved, why would you want to deny your daughter that kind of love?"
"What good would that love do if she was dead? Sam is young she will love again, a good man, someone wo..."
"Someone who is acceptable in your eyes, Sam's wishes be damned."
Alexis glared at Carly "We are finished Carly, stay away from my daughter."
Carly shrugged then smirked "You don't know where she is do you?" watching Alexis shift in her chair Carly laughed "Guess Sam didn't feel like you were good enough to be her mom." she then turned and left.
Alexis stared at the closed door, whispering "It was my fault." eyes closing silent tears slide down her cheeks.
