Chapter Four- Spinelli Hunting
NOTE- I haven't quite finished writing this fic yet. So far it has ten chapters and an epilogue. The whole tone stays silly throughout, for the most part.
For anyone wondering about my other current fanfic The Five, I should be updating it within a few days. Hope all is well with each of you. Wishing you a happy 2007!

THE NEXT MORNING
Jason was dressed by 5:55 am. He grabbed the car keys and called out, "Lets go!"
Carly walked into Jason's room. She was wearing a t-shirt he gave her to sleep in.
"I need to do some shopping before we go Spinelli Hunting," she said.
"Shopping?" Jason shook his head. " Are you kidding me? We don't have time for that."
Milo was sitting over at the nearby table, eating cereal he ordered from room service. Lulu was still in the bathroom getting ready.
"You made me leave Port Charles in such a hurry," Carly whined "I didn't have time to pack."
"You could have stayed home." Jason told her
There eyes met, him glaring at her playfully. She crinkled her nose at him.
Carly relented, "Fine. No shopping. You can loan me something."
Milo chimed in, "Got one for me? I could use a fresh shirt myself."
Jason turned and gave him a flabbergasted look.
Milo sniffed his shirt, and said "Fresh enough , I guess."
Jason shook his head at him then turned back to Carly, "Ask Lulu."
She went over and started rifling through his bag.
"Lulu wears a different size than me." Carly said
Jason went and took his bag from her and said, "Make do. And be ready in five minutes. Because Lulu and I are leaving with or without you two stowaways."
Carly gave him a smile, and said, "Whatever you say, Jase. You know me, you say it I do it."
She turned and headed back to her own room, swinging her hips, seductively.
Jason mumbled, "Sure you do, in my dreams."
Carly called out, over her shoulder, "Good to know you still dream about me!"
AN HOUR LATER, they were driving around the town of Oakfield.
Milo and Carly were both munching on donuts. Carly had forced Jason to pull over and buy them before they started searching.
"We are never going to find him," Lulu whined from the backseat. "Everything around here looks the same."
She started pointing out the window. "Tree. Hill. Tree. And another hill. Look, Milo, there is a tree and, wow, another hill."
Milo laughed softly.
There was annoyance in Jason's voice when he snapped at Lulu, "Are you even trying?"
"It's pointless. You might as well turn this car around and point us back north." Lulu told him. "Spinelli is gone like the wind. He is as gone as my mom who lost her mind because she killed Rick Webber. Just like I will probably lose my mind one day too and then..."
"Focus, Lulu." Carly said "Tell us one more time what the house in the picture looked like."
"Ugh! Okay, fine. It had," she recounted every detail she could remember. The last thing she mentioned was a sign.
"A sign!" Jason roared
"Yeah, I totally told you that." lulu said
"You totally did not." Jason said, grabbing his phone to call Stan.
"I remember her telling you that." Milo said
Jason glared at him in the rearview mirror. Milo shrank back.
Lulu whispered to Milo, "He's losing his memory already. How old is he?"
Milo whispered, " Not that old, I don't think. Thirty something."
"It's sad." Lulu said "To be senile already."
Milo nodded, happy to agree to anything she said.
Jason relied the new information to Stan.
Stan said, "I will get right back to you." and then hung up.
"Glad you are done with the phone." Carly said "I need to call Jax and my cell battery is dead."
"Jax can wait." Jason said
"I know you don't care about if my wedding gets called off but I do." Carly said "I just don't know what to do about this whole situation. Jax is being so stubborn. Why do I always have the worst luck when it comes to love? Can you tell me that, Jase?"
"I have no idea."
"Well, I do. Because of you." Carly said
"Not now."
"You dumped me and caused me to seek comfort in the arms of other lesser men."
"Dumped you?" He screeched out the words
"You dumped my cousin?" Lulu asked "How rude. You are not going to do better than Carly!"
"Look out the window," Jason ordered Lulu.
Lulu asked him, "Why did you dump her?"
"Tell her, Jason." Carly said
Jason didn't answer, instead he focused on the road.
Lulu said, "We are all waiting, Jason."
He hissed, "I didn't dump her. And look out the damn window."
He turned around and pointed at the window.
Lulu turned and looked out it. "I was only trying to help. You wouldn't be so angry if you didn't keep denying yourself love, Jason."
Carly smiled, "I completely agree."
The cell phone rang.
Jason snatched it up. "Yeah?"
"I got the address." Stan said "But I found a report online when I got into the Oakfield Police Department records. There was a 911 call about shots fired at that residence just last night."
Jason spit out a curse word.
"Anger issues," Lulu said. "You should see someone about that."
Jason looked at Carly. "Alcazar beat us to Spinelli."
The whole car got deathly silent.
