Chapter 4 – Epilogue
Jason and Liz got dressed and went outside.
"Ugh, it's so freaking hot already," Liz said.
Lynn walked up to her and sprayed her with some sunblock. "I hope it helps and you don't get burnt to a crisp out there."
"Me too."
They heard a noise and then saw several SUV's speeding their way.
"Shit," Jason said.
Herb threw him some keys and Jason shoved some money in his hand and grabbed Elizabeth's hand and they ran to the back.
Lynn ran into the container right ahead of her husband and they got out some semi-automatic weapons and opened a small sliding window, only big enough to fit the tip of the gun.
"You ready?" her husband asked.
"You bet ya. Let's smoke these assholes."
Outside, Jason and Elizabeth jumped on the bike and Jason gunned it and took off. Liz held on for dear life. There were no helmets and they could hear Herb open fire making Jason try to go faster. It was a piece of shit, but he really hoped they could get away.
The SUV's changed direction when they got word that someone was fleeing on a bike and Herb and Lynn cheered, thinking that they chased them away.
"I hope they are safe," Lynn said. She really liked Elizabeth. "I never got to ask her how big Jason was."
Herb shook her head. "Woman, you're going to drive me to drink."
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Jason slid to a stop, finding himself surrounded. "I'm sorry."
Liz swallowed thickly. "Not your fault."
"I'll do what I can to protect you."
"I know."
Several men poured out of the cars and pointed guns and for a moment, no one spoke.
One of the men moved closer. "Get off the bike."
They got off and the rest of the men descended upon them and they were quickly handcuffed and moved into separate SUV's.
After an hour of driving, they arrived at their destination.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
A man walked into Jason's room. "Shower. You stink. Here's some clothes. We leave in two hours."
Jason got up after he shut the door. He was worried about Elizabeth, but it didn't seem like they were ready to kill them yet, so he was hoping that they had time. He took a shower, relishing how good the water felt. Two hours. Where the hell were they taking them? He really hoped that he'd get a chance to make everything right with Elizabeth, even if she didn't want him. He just hated not having her in his life.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Elizabeth finished showering and dried her hair. "Are you in love with Ric?" Jason's words echoed in her head. Why did he have to ask her that? Ric was kind and loving. He was the man she should be in love with, not an ass kissing mob enforcer. She growled. "Damn Jason." He haunted her. Maybe it was because they never had their chance and she was left wondering what would have happened if they did. If she could just get him out of her system, she could have a good life with Ric, but is that what she really wanted? She stormed out of the bathroom and plopped onto the bed, trying to ignore everything she was feeling.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Courtney was a wreck. She couldn't sleep and she was barely eating.
"Would you please stop pacing," Carly yelled. Courtney was doing her in.
"I can't help it. He is out there somewhere, probably being tortured."
Carly glared at her. "Really?" That was the last thing she wanted to think about. It hurt too much.
"It's probably torture enough that he has to listen to that little bitch ramble. We shouldn't just sit here and do nothing."
Carly closed her eyes and counted to ten. "Courtney, why don't you leave the thinking to Sonny and the guys? It's really not your strong suit." No wonder Jason always looked like he had a headache. The only reason that Carly ever sided with Courtney is to score points with her husband and to keep Jason away from the evil muffin.
Courtney pouted and sat down. Jason was everything to her and she loved him more than anything. She was going to get him back if it was the last thing she did. Elizabeth be damned.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Sonny rubbed his hands over his face. "They could be anywhere."
Johnny nodded. "We found the van. It had a blown out tire. We saw a trailer in the distance and it turned out to be this crazy couple. They had seen them, but said that Jason gave him some money and took his motorcycle. Anthony's men were all over the place apparently. We found the motorcycle about a mile away and there were some car tracks."
"How do you know they were telling the truth?"
"I saw Elizabeth's wedding dress and Ric confirmed that was it." He had taken a picture of it and texted to him.
Sonny nodded. This was so going to blow up in his face.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Jason was pushed out of a car as another one pulled up. Elizabeth got out of it and their eyes locked as they silently communicated. His eyes raked over her body, making sure he didn't see any visible bruises.
Anthony walked up. "Get them inside."
They were led to a helicopter and got in and then a man buckled their seat belts for them.
"Where are we going?"
Anthony turned to Jason. "To see Claudia."
The helicopter lifted off and several minutes later, they landed on a heliport on the grounds of a mansion. It was heavily guarded and secluded in the mountains.
Jason and Elizabeth were pushed to a staircase and they went down one flight and then got into a cart and were driven to the house.
Anthony sighed. "Home sweet home."
Liz looked around. It was a little dark and dreary to her, but she figured it must fit his personality.
A woman ran towards them. "Daddy!"
Anthony hugged her. "How is my sweetheart?"
The greatest thing about being pregnant was that Anthony didn't treat her like dirt anymore. "I'm good. The morning sickness is getting better."
Claudia realized they had company and her eyes were immediately glued to Jason. He was gorgeous and she definitely wouldn't mind hitting that. Liz noticed that Claudia seemed like she was seeing Jason for the first time.
"I brought your baby daddy to you. Unfortunately, he's married to the little spitfire here."
Claudia was at a loss for words, but quickly recovered. Fuck Corinthos, she was going for the tall drink of water standing in front of her. He looked way better than his mug shot.
"Jason, aren't you going to say anything?" Anthony asked.
Claudia smirked. "Hello Jason."
"Don't act like you know me when you don't."
She walked up to him and ran her hand down his chest. "I almost forgot how gorgeous you are."
He leaned forward. "This is not some fucking game. We've never met so why are you doing this?"
She grabbed him and kissed him as Jason tried to pull back.
"Mmmmm, nice mouth."
Liz glared at the woman and Claudia finally took notice.
"You can't handle all that cupcake. Why don't you let me show you how it's done?"
Liz was fuming. Why the hell did everyone keep referring to her as a baked good?
Claudia continued to rub Jason's chest.
"Get the fuck off of my husband you deranged bitch."
Claudia laughed. "You do have spunk, but he was mine first."
"I have known him for years and you've known him for two minutes. Why are you lying?"
Anthony's head tilted. "Are you lying Claudia?"
Claudia rolled her eyes. "Relax daddy. He's not the father. I was just having some fun."
Anthony looked furious. "What the fuck Claudia? If it's not Jason…." Shock registered in his eyes. "You fucked Corinthos?" When Anthony had found out that she was pregnant, he did some digging and his guy had told him it was Jason, not Sonny that Claudia had slept with. Idiot. "Did Freddie lie for you?"
Claudia smiled and rubbed her belly. "How would I know? And by the way, I prefer the term made love." She had purposely not confirmed who the father was in order to contain her father, but obviously, that hadn't worked.
Anthony was livid. "Do you know what you've done?"
"I'm not really seeing the problem here. I'm pregnant, so Sonny will have to share his money and properties with me. See, I did good."
Anthony smirked. "I'm sorry I ever doubted you."
Jason let out a harsh breath. "Can we go now?"
Anthony smiled. "Take them to the helicopter and drop them off," he said, laughing loudly. He turned to his daughter as Jason and Liz were led outside. "We need to make some plans to go to Port Charles immediately. We're going to make Sonny's life a living hell."
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Elizabeth and Jason were put back into the cart. "I can't believe Sonny knocked that bitch up."
"He cheated on Carly."
"Wouldn't you? I can barely stand being in a room with her for more than five seconds."
Jason looked over at her. "You've become very bitter Elizabeth."
"I prefer to call it snarky and Carly earned my ire. And I swear if one more person calls me a baked good, I'm going to punch them in the face."
The driver smirked.
She looked over at him. "Sonny is going to want you to get a quick divorce."
"Fuck Sonny," Jason said, angrily.
Liz's mouth dropped open. "I'm surprised the bowels of hell didn't just open up and suck you into it for cursing your creator."
He rolled his eyes. "I'm quitting."
She shook her head twice like she was trying to shake off cobwebs. "What did you say?"
"I'm quitting. He stood there and acted like he didn't know who Claudia was instead of getting some balls and admitting what he did. I'm done. We could have been killed."
She was tempted to pretend to take his temperature. "He won't let you go without a fight."
"He won't have a choice. I'm not giving him one."
Jason was seething. Sonny had put Elizabeth in danger because of his selfishness and that was not going to fly.
She sighed. "I'm sorry."
"For what."
"That he betrayed you again."
"Me too."
Liz laid her head on his arm. "What a pair we are. I gave my loyalty to Lucky over and over when he didn't deserve it and you did the same thing to Sonny. I'm sorry."
"I just can't do it anymore," Jason said. He had given up far too much and it needed to end.
They were silent the rest of the ride, but Liz took his hand and Jason squeezed it back.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi
Johnny stood and everyone's eyes flew to him. He moved the phone a little. "The helicopter is taking off and Jason and Liz are on it."
He had a man with high powered binoculars on a ridge. The only reason they hadn't stormed the Zacchara compound was because they didn't have enough men with them on the trip to overtake their guards. "They're headed towards the strip."
Johnny ran out the door and everyone followed. Ric saw them from the hallway and gave chase, figuring they must have found Elizabeth.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi
Jason looked out the window. They were headed for the strip, so he assumed that they were getting dropped off and then the helicopter rose higher and higher and he grabbed Liz's hand. He had a bad feeling.
Johnny parked and they ran onto the sidewalk as they stared at the helicopter and were stunned to see something fall out and then another larger form behind it.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi
A few minutes before….
A guard held up what looked like a parachute. "There's only one, the question is who gets it?"
Jason looked out the window. They were high up, but not high enough for this shit. He looked at the man. "Elizabeth."
She looked at him like he was crazy. "Jason, I am not jumping out of this helicopter."
"You'll need to just fall out. The helicopter will be moving." He pulled her into him. "I'll be right behind you. Don't pull the chute until the helicopter is far enough away."
Her eyes widened and the man helped her put it on. She didn't understand how Jason could jump without a parachute and she felt sick, thinking it could be the last time she saw him. Jason grabbed her and kissed her. It was passionate and loving and they both didn't want it to end. "I love you Elizabeth. I always have. I'm so sorry that I hurt you."
Her eyes misted up. This couldn't be the end. "I'm sorry too. I love you." The guard grabbed her and she glanced down and shuddered. They had wasted so much time and now they both could die. If they made it out of this alive, things were going to be very different.
He watched her go to the door and right when she fell out he got up and decked the guard and fell out too. He dove down towards Elizabeth. The air was cold and he just prayed that this would work. The only good thing was that Liz's body position was slowing her down. They were running out of airspace. She looked over her shoulder and saw Jason coming at her fast and rolled her body and he changed his position before crashing into her. Her legs clamped around his waist and Jason pulled the cord.
Everyone on the ground watched in horror because they had pulled the cord so late. Carly had to sit down on the ground because her legs gave out.
"They're going to crash hard," Sonny said. He helped Carly up and they jumped in the car and moved further down the strip, trying to anticipate where they would land.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi
Liz looked at Jason and he kissed her gently and began to steer them. He could see the strip and he started to aim for the Bellagio because of their water feature. He was hoping that would help break their fall a little.
Elizabeth closed her eyes as the ground came closer and closer. Jason's heels skidded across the water and they plunged into it. It wasn't pretty, but they were still alive. The parachute was getting in the way, so Liz started to panic when she couldn't untangle herself. Jason got her freed and then helped her to the side. People grabbed them and pulled them out.
"Man, that was so cool," a younger man yelled.
Liz crawled on top of Jason. She was exhausted. "Did you mean it?"
He was breathing hard as he grabbed her face. "Yes, I love you."
"I love you so much." She kissed him torridly as people clapped and cheered.
Sonny and the gang stopped in their tracks—stunned at the sight of them.
"Get your lips off of him!" Carly yelled.
Liz laughed against Jason's mouth and he ignored Carly's shriek and kissed the hell out of his wife.
Courtney ran towards them. Johnny yelled out a warning and Liz pushed herself up and punched her and then shoved her into the water.
"If you had any sense in that vacuous head of yours, you'd stay down," she warned.
Carly was stunned.
Sonny approached them as Johnny helped Jason stand. "You alright man?"
Jason ignored his concern. "We're done."
Carly gasped. "Jason, you don't mean that."
He glared at her. "Would I have said it if I didn't mean it?" She visibly shrank. Turning slightly, he looked at his boss. "Sonny, why don't you tell your wife why we are done?"
Sonny started to look nervous. "Jason—not here. We can settle this between us."
Carly stepped in between them. "Sonny, what did you do?"
When Sonny wouldn't answer Jason spoke. "He is the one that knocked up Claudia."
"What?" Carly yelled.
Sonny made a face like she had just ruptured his eardrums. "Carly, it was a weekend. She meant nothing."
Carly smacked him hard. "Fuck you Sonny. You are going to pay for this. I'm taking everything." She stomped away.
"I quit. I'm not coming back and there is nothing you can say about it." Jason brushed by him and Sonny grabbed his arm.
"Jason wait."
Jason glared at him making Sonny drop his hand. "You are always touting loyalty, but you are the first one to break it. You could have gotten us killed."
"What did you want me to do?" Sonny yelled.
"Own up to your shit, something you never do. You are dead to me Sonny."
Sonny went to grab him again and Jason decked him and he stumbled backwards and fell into the water, pushing Courtney back under the water. She came up for air and spit out some water. "Jason you can't leave me. I'm your fiancé," she yelled.
"Not anymore. I'm married and I'm staying that way," he said as he grabbed Elizabeth's hand.
The look on Courtney's face was priceless.
Ric stepped forward. "You're leaving me?"
"Oh shit," Liz muttered. She had forgotten him. "I never wanted to hurt you, but I don't love you the way you deserve to be loved. I've always loved Jason, but I was just too mad to admit it."
"So you used me?"
Liz rolled her eyes. "You didn't do anything you didn't want to. I was trying to move forward."
"Is he why you agreed to wait until we got married to have sex?"
Jason was stunned. "You never slept with him?"
Liz slightly smiled and shook her head no.
"Thank God. I really wish I could say the same, but if it makes you feel any better, it's been a while."
Ric walked closer to Elizabeth. "I love you. I would have given you everything. Please, don't walk away."
Liz sighed. "I'm sorry, but I wasn't in love with you and it took all of this to finally wake me up and make me realize that I deserve to have it all." Nothing like a near death experience to give you some perspective.
Ric looked at Jason. "You're loving this aren't you? I put up with my brother putting you before me, but I'm not going to accept this. Elizabeth is mine." He took a swing at Jason and he ducked and hit Ric so hard, it felt like his teeth rattled. Jason shoved him in the water, taking a minute to look at the pathetic people floundering around, who had monopolized way to much of his life. "Let's get out of here," he said taking her hand.
Johnny directed them to the car and took them to a different hotel. He used the company card to book the room and Jason and Elizabeth went upstairs.
"Can we really do this?"
Jason slightly smiled. "Yes Mrs. Morgan."
She smiled. "That has a nice ring to it."
"Look, I know that I've screwed up in the past, but I more than intend to make up for it. You're it for me."
"I agree. I'm yours." She went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Jason stood in the room and watched her strip with pure lust in his eyes. "Are you coming in or not?" she asked before slipping inside. Jason stripped so fast, he would have broken a world record.
Liz grinned when he slipped in behind her. He washed her hair and lovingly soaped up her body before rinsing it off. She did the same to him and then they kissed passionately. He was impossibly hard and Liz was stunned to see how big he really was. He abruptly turned off the water and then got out and dried off before helping her out. He rubbed the towel over her body, kissing and sucking on her after he wiped the water away. Elizabeth was going out of her mind. "I need you now," she whispered.
He picked her up and took her into the other room and laid her on the bed. "I've waited for this for so long."
"Me too. Make love to me Jason."
He kissed her with everything he had before slowly making his way down her body. He needed to taste her, wondering if it was like he had imagined—only to find out it was even better. He drove her wild until she came hard and he lapped up all she had to give. "Open your eyes," he said, softly.
Her eyelids barely opened as her body jolted again. Jason slid inside of her pausing twice to give her time to adjust. When he finally filled her completely, he leaned down and kissed her. "This is where I've always belonged."
She moaned into his mouth as he started to move. The friction and just knowing that it was him inside of her was already pushing her towards the edge.
"God you feel so good," he said, picking up his pace.
"Faster," she whimpered. Her body was already soaring, but when he started to pound her hard, Elizabeth yelled out his name and raked her nails down his back.
He hissed in return and gripped her hips so he could really get down to it. Elizabeth came suddenly, coating him as her body trembled. He started to pant as her twitches made him lose control. "Elizabeth!" he yelled as he finally fell over the edge. He collapsed next to her, trying to catch his breath. His body still reacting to the pleasure he had felt. "I'm never letting you go again. You're my heart."
She looked up at him tearfully. "And you're mine. You have five minutes to recover. We have a lot of time to make up for."
He grinned. "I'll be ready in three."
"Overachiever."
"Beautiful wife."
Liz smiled. They were finally going to get their happy ending.
The End
