Pain
Chapter 4
"Elizabeth," he yelled, as he grabbed a hold of her and walked towards the living room, and placed her on the couch.
"What happened to you?" he asked
She looked at him with this scared look on her face. "I was attacked."
He looked at her neck and saw by the bruises that she was definitely attacked by the text message killer.
I guess Sam was right , he thought to himself. "We need to take you to the hospital."
"I'm fine."
"You're not fine," Lucky responded, as he walked over into the bathroom and came back out with a first aid kit. He touched her neck. She jumped back as he did that. "Its okay, Elizabeth. I won't hurt you."
She stared into his eyes. "I need to go."
"You don't need to go. Stay here. The kids are with Grams, right?" Lucky asked.
She nodded as she looked at him. "I didn't know where else to go."
"You are always welcome here, Elizabeth," Lucky responded.
She looked into his eyes, and saw how afraid he was. "I'm really okay, Lucky. "
He placed the ice pack on her face, she jumped back again. She grabbed the ice pack. " I can do that myself. Thanks, Lucky."
"I'm just going to make a call and then I'll be back," Lucky said, as he stood up.
She nodded as she laid down on the couch. She just wanted to fall asleep. Lucky waited until he was out of the living room before he dialed his cell phone.
"Cruz, Lucky's here. The killer has attacked again. It was Elizabeth this time, she is alive thank god. We need to find this killer now and make him pay. Where are you?
Lucky was taken back that Cruz was Sam's bodyguard, he was about to say something when he heard Elizabeth scream.
He ran as fast as he could.
"What happened?" he asked, with this scared look on his face when he saw Elizabeth sitting on the couch, shaking. She handed him her cell phone. He grabbed it and read the text message.
Cheaters and liars should die and you will die.
He placed the phone on the table and laid it on the table. He placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's going to be okay. I'm not going to let anything happen to you. But first you need to explain to me exactly what happened tonight."
"I can't."
Elizabeth's cell phone rang again. She looked at him with this scared look on her face. He grabbed her phone and saw that the caller id read Jason Morgan. Even though they were both getting on with their lives, Jason was still a sore spot for them.
"I don't need to pick it up." Elizabeth responded.
Lucky stood up. "It's ok. I have a few things that I need to do, "he said, as he walked away from her.
He returned a few minutes later,
He saw that she had been crying. He handed her a tissue. She smiled at him slightly. "You know you are being awful nice for an ex- husband. "
He smiled slightly.
She stood up. "I should be going."
"No, Elizabeth. You are going to stay here for tonight. Grams have the kids tonight. There is no way that I'm going to let you go home to an empty house. "
She stared at him. "Only one night."
Lucky nodded, as Elizabeth sat down back on the couch.
He sat back next to her. "I know you don't want to talk about what happened, but I need to know so I can help you."
No matter what happened between them, she knew that she was safe with Lucky.
"I was walking towards my car when a man grabbed him from behind and dragged me towards the alley. He kept on yelling that I was a liar and a cheater. He was punching me and kicking him. "
She stopped for a moment.
"Take your time, " Lucky said, as he grabbed her hand. "I was able to get away and that was when he tried to strangle me. I would be dead right now if it wasn't for Johnny Zacchara. He show up and saved my life. He was able to get the man off me. "
Lucky nodded. "Anything you can remember about your attacker?" he asked. She shakes her head. "I just want this all to be forgotten."
"I know," he said, as he hugged Elizabeth. "Why don't you go to the guest room and go to sleep?"
"I think I definitely need that, "she said, as she walked towards the stairs. She then turned around and stared at him. "Thank you."

The next day,
Sam walked out of her bedroom and saw that Cruz was in her kitchen making breakfast. "What do you think you are doing?" she asked.
"I'm making breakfast, " Cruz said, with a grin. "To thank you for all your kindness. "
Sam walked over to the kitchen and grabbed a cup of coffee. "It is too early for me to argue with you, "she said, as she walked over to the table.
He looked at her and smiled slightly. "I don't want to be here any more than you want me here, but it is a job. I always do my job right."
"Does that mean making breakfast for me?"
"If that is what the job entail me to do, " Cruz said with a laugh.
She smiled at him slightly. "Is that a smile I see? I didn't think Sam McCall knew how to smile," he said, as he placed the food on the plates. "Now eat."
She walked over to the table. "I don't think my mom told you to make me breakfast," she responded.
He grabbed the plates and placed it on the table. "I think your mom's words were keep my daughter safe or I will make sure that you never work in this police station again."
"My mom didn't say that."
"I guess you will never know, " he said, as he started to eat his breakfast.
"Where did you learn to cook like this?"
"My mom taught me."
Sam laughed. "The only thing I learn from my family was how to con people. "
She looked at her with this laugh on his face. "I'm guessing that I shouldn't tell you seeing that you are a cop."
He laughed at her slightly. "I know all about your history, Sam. You're not a stranger to me. "
"No I'm Jason Morgan's ex- girlfriend that is who I am too. That is who I always will be. But that is not who I am, I am Sam McCall. You don't know anything about my history. You think you do, but you know nothing about me. "
"I know enough about you. I know how many times you defended your mobster boyfriend to me. I know how many times you got hurt because of him. I know your history before you came to Port Charles, I know how many men you conned into marriage. " Cruz said.
" I know exactly who you are too. A jerk," Sam yelled, as she grabbed her jacket and headed out of the apartment.
Damn it Cruz thought to himself, as he grabbed his jacket, and headed out of the apartment.

Logan couldn't stop thinking about what he saw. What exactly did it mean? He flashed back to the night before when he went to the address that Cooper had written on a piece of paper. He found a room with a bed with ropes lying on top of it. Logan now knows why Cooper got hurt, he found out who the killer was. But who did the killer have in that room?
He stared at the necklace in his hands. The only thing that it said on there was GJ. He walked into Kelly's and took a seat.
A few minutes later, Maxie walked into Kelly's and grabbed a seat next to him. "I need you… to.. " but before she could say anything, she grabbed the necklace out of his hands.
"What are you doing with this? "Maxie yelled.
He looked at her with this confused look on his face. "What are you talking about now, Maxie? "
"Where did you get this?"
"Why does this have anything to do with you?" Logan yelled. She looked at him. "This is Georgie's necklace?"
He looked at her with this confused look on his face.
"How could I have something of your sister, she's dead. "
She looked at him. "I don't know where you found this, but this is mine," she said, as she grabbed a hold of it, and walked out of Kelly's.
He sighed. No this can't be, he thought to himself. He didn't know what he was going to do with this information. If he tells anybody they are going to think that he has crazy, but if he doesn't do anything a woman could be dead because of it.
He walked out of Kelly's; trying to figure out wanted he needed to do next.

Cruz followed Sam to her car. She turned around. "Stop following me. Just leave. I don't want you as my bodyguard. I don't care what my mom says. I don't need anybody protecting me, especially not a jerk like you. "
He looked at her. "I'm just telling how it is."
"I'm just telling it how it is too. You are a jerk; you don't care about anybody but yourself."
Cruz laughed slightly. " You just assume me of not know who you are, but you are clearly doing the same to me. You have no clue who I am. "
"You're a cop, whose goal in life is to bring down the mob. "
"No that would be Ric's job. My job is to serve and protect the town and if that means bringing Jason or Sonny in that is what I will do. I have a whole different reason why I do this job. "
She looked into his eyes and for the first time since this thing started, she saw a glimpse of a real guy not a jerk. She then walked away from him and walked towards her car.
Cruz sighed as he watched her, he didn't know why but he was intrigued by her. Suddenly he heard her scream. He ran towards her side.
'What happened, Sam?" he asked. She looked at him. " There was a note on her window.
You think you can run, but you can't hide from me , Sweet Sam. I will find you and your bodyguard can't save you.
Sam then suddenly collapsed into Cruz's arms.

Maxie stood in Cooper's doorway, he was sleeping. She didn't want to wake him up. She didn't know what to do. He wanted to know everything about their relationship. What exactly was she suppose to tell him. Just the good things or all the times that she screwed up?
She wanted to lie to him, but that is where their relationship went wrong, she wanted to make this work this time. How could she do that if she was lying to him?
"Are you going to just stand here?" he asked. She looked at him with a slightly smile. "You were sleeping. "
"Come here," he said with this smile on his face. She walked over to his bedside. "How are you feeling?" she asked.
"I'm feeling better. How are you doing?" he asked. "You seemed upset last night. I know this is hard for you. I wish that I could remember everything."
I wish you wouldn't, she thought to herself.
"Do you remember anything?" she asked. He sighed. "I remember something, but it doesn't make any sense to me."
"Maybe I can help you understand," she said, as she looked at him.
"It is very jumble up. It really doesn't make any sense to me.
He grabbed her hand. "I want to remember. I want to remember how we first met. I want to remember everything about you. I wanted to remember you.," he said, smiling at her. "You are so beautiful. I can see why I am with you. How about you tell me about us?"
She sighed. "I can't do that, Coop. "
"Why?" he asked.
"If I tell you about us. I'm not sure you wanted to be with me," she said, as she run off as fast as she could. Logan entered the room a few minutes later. "Logan, do you know what is wrong with my girlfriend, Maxie?" he asked.
"You know if I was you, I would forget about her." Cooper stared at Logan. "I thought we were supposed to be friends. "
"I just don't like her very much. But enough about Maxie. I need to talk to you about something. Do you remember anything yet?"
Cooper remembered enough about Logan to know that he was up to something. "What do you want Logan?"
"I want to know if you remember anything about a case you were working on?
"What kind of job I do?"
"You're a cop. "Logan responded.
Cooper nodded. "I don't remember anything about being a cop or a case that I was on.
Logan nodded. Cooper looked at his friend. "I don't know what you got yourself into, but be careful." Logan nodded, as he walked towards the doorway.
"Wait," Cooper said. "Does the name Georgie mean anything to you?"
