Chapter 4 – Who are You?

Jason watched her get up and get herself a bowl of soup. They all ate in silence and then Johnny stood up. "One more thing, here's two secure phones." He said pulling them out of his pocket and handing one to Jason and the other to Liz. "I got a new one too just in case." I programmed everyone's number in there.

Liz fingered the phone and then slipped it into her purse.

"You going?"

"Yeah, I better get back before someone reports something to Sonny. I'll call Francis and see if he can take a red eye."

"Thanks Johnny."

"No problem boss. I'll see you soon."

Liz started to grab her coat.

"It's okay, I'll take Jason's car. It will make everyone think that he's still around." Johnny left his keys on the counter and then followed Liz through the kitchen. She opened the garage door for him and watched him back out of the driveway and then closed it.

She walked back into the living room and sat down.

"We need to talk." Jason said seriously. He was a bit worried about how she took his gun and went to Port Charles on his behalf. She was a conundrum to him.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Liz thought that he was going to yell at her. He was so damn handsome that it was hard for her to look away when his eyes met hers. He was so different than Johnny who she had to admit was a lot of fun. Jason had this dark twisty thing about him that almost made her shudder.

"I do need a place to stay, but I don't want to put you in any danger." Jason really appreciated Liz's hospitality, but he really didn't want her to get hurt.

"I know how to handle myself Jason."

"And how is it that you do?" He asked. She was getting more interesting every minute.

"You don't really want to know all of my secrets at once do you?" She asked with a slight smile.

"Humor me."

"My father and mother are WSB agents. When I was younger, I ended up on a few adventures with them. When I was old enough, they made sure I had hand to hand combat training and that I knew how to handle a gun. For a while, I thought that maybe I would follow in their footsteps and I had some additional training. It's been a long time since I've had to use a gun though. But, I've been kidnapped twice and managed to survive." She said nonchalantly.

Jason frowned. He wasn't happy about the parent news or that someone had tried to harm her.

She took his frown to mean that he was nervous about her parent's occupation. "Don't worry. I rarely ever see them."

"What are their names?" Port Charles had quite a few people who had been in the agency.

"Robert and Anna, why?"

Jason cringed. She was a Scorpio. He could almost hear the universe laughing at him.

"You know who they are don't you?" The look on his face was priceless.

He nodded.

"And they know who you are right?"

He nodded again.

"Great. If they do show up, I'll never hear the end of it."

Jason smirked. "Let's hope they don't."

Her parents were the least of her worries right now. "My answer is yes."

"So, you are going to let me stay here?"

"Yes. When you're strong enough to get up and down the stairs easily, you can sleep in the guest room."

"I need you to be really sure about this Elizabeth."

"I'm sure Jason. My life has been a total bore for years now. I've gone to med school with honors. I work 16 hour shifts and then I come home and crash. I have no social life and there is no time for dating let alone sex. You are the first unpredictable thing that has happened to me since I moved here. So, yes, I'm sure. Besides, I have no illusions about what you do for a living."

"This isn't a game Liz. This is life or death."

She noted the seriousness of his tone. "I know." She said softly. "But I want to help you. And from where I'm sitting, you could use it."

Jason sighed. The truth is that he really didn't want to go. "If we go out in public, you have to call me Jack." He said handing her the ID.

"I can do that."

"And how do we know each other?" Jason said thinking out loud.

"What?"

"Someone is going to ask. So, what are we going to tell them?"

Liz thought for a moment. There was no way anyone would believe that Jason was a bff. She studied his look. His hair was long with blonde highlights. It fell into his eyes sometimes and it would almost make her melt. "I guess you're my new boyfriend."

Jason raised his eyebrows. "I was thinking more along the lines of cousins."

Liz laughed. "Jason, I can tell you right now, cousins don't look at each other the way we sometimes do." She watched him almost blush and she smirked.

Jason swallowed. Her forwardness surprised him. "Fine."

"You're a model in New York. I did my internship there, so that will fit."

"Model? I hate getting my picture taken." Jason said clearly disgusted. Plus, it reminded him of Brenda.

Liz smirked. "Too bad. It will explain why you don't have a regular day job and whether you realize it or not, you look the part."

"Fine."

"Good, then it's settled." She pulled off her boots and turned on the television.

Jason's cell phone rang. "Yeah" He listened for a minute and said, "Hold on—Liz." He said holding the phone out.

Liz frowned and took it.

"You missed me already?"

Johnny chuckled. "Listen, how would you feel if you had one more boarder?"

"You?" She said rolling her eyes.

"No. Spinelli."

"What the hell is a Spinelli?"

Jason chuckled at the look on her face.

"A type of pasta." He said sarcastically.

"Smart ass."

Johnny grinned. "He's a computer geek."

Jason watched her closely.

Liz sighed and looked over at Jason. "I guess so."

"Thanks." Johnny said.

Liz handed Jason the phone back and went and prepared her last guest bedroom. She had to work a double shift so she wouldn't have time the next day.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Spinelli drove up to Liz's house in Johnny's car. Johnny had given him his spare keys and then had another guard take him to the car. Liz had left the garage open and he pulled in. He opened the kitchen door and lugged a few bags inside before he closed the garage door. Walking inside further, he looked around. It was very homey. He liked it. Jason came out of the bathroom walking very slowly.

"Stone Cold." Spinelli said smiling. "You are a sight for sore eyes."

"Hey Spinelli." He said moving back to the couch.

They chatted and Jason told him where to put his bags. Spinelli busied himself unpacking and then went back downstairs.

"I brought a bag of your clothes as well."

"Good."

Spinelli had come a long way since Jason had met him. His speech had calmed down and Jason relied on him almost as much as Johnny. He was like family to him and he wanted him with there so he knew that he was safe.

"Where is Elizabeth?"

"She's at the hospital working. She'll probably be home late."

"I'm looking forward to meeting her."

"She's nice." Jason said smiling.

His smile was not lost on Spinelli. "So, I heard that you will be going by Jack. I chose Liam Smith."

Jason nodded. "Listen, since we'll be seen in public. Liz and I are going to say we're dating. "

"That sounds reasonable. But who am I then?"

"You're my assistant."

Spinelli could feel Jason's mood change. "And what is it that you do exactly?"

Jason cleared his throat and sighed. "I'm a model."

Spinelli fell out laughing as Jason glared at him.

"Are you done?" Jason said as Spinelli wiped away his tears.

"I'm sorry. I have heard Stone Cold referred to as a Greek god by members of the female persuasion before. I mean you could pass for a model. But, you hate getting your picture taken and hate a lot of attention."

"I know." He said defeated.

Spinelli shook it off. "It's okay. We'll work with it."

Jason wasn't sure how he was going to pull off this model thing. He thought about his time with Brenda and the thought of modeling made him squeamish. He never understood how she did it.
