A/N – Thanks for all the thoughtful reviews! I'm exhausted from being up most of the night or I'd respond more individually. But, really glad you're open to Robin's matchmaking scheming. Let the fun begin!

Chapter 7 - Matchmakers

Brenda shut the door to her office. "Is he okay?"

Jason and Brenda had a love/hate relationship, but they were always there for each other when push came to shove.

"He's grieving, but he's physically fine. Listen, I want to play matchmaker."

Brenda grinned. "Oh God, this is going to be good. Whoever you're shuffling him off on does realize he has color issues and grunts more than he speaks right?"

Robin shook her head. "You are really bad. He's actually been wearing a lot more suits lately, and the victim is actually someone that you know."

Brenda tried to guess who it was. "I can't even think right now."

"It's Elizabeth Corelli."

Brenda was in shock. She was trying to process it in her head but it wouldn't compute.

"Brenda?" Robin asked looking up to make sure that Jason was still outside.

"I'm here."

"Well, are you going to help me?"

"I honestly think that you're wasting your time. I haven't ever seen her date. And then there is the whole Francis connection."

"I know that they will have some obstacles but I think fate has drawn them together. They are both hurting and look at them. They would have beautiful babies."

Brenda chuckled. "What do you want me do?"

"I need you to make up some threat and get Jason to come guard you for the fashion show."

Brenda smirked. "He might not come or try to send someone else."

"You know that Jason loves to be needed and play hero. He won't. Trust me."

Brenda grinned. "Okay, I'm in."

Robin squealed softly. "Thank you….thank you…thank you." She said smiling and hanging up the phone.

Jason came back and Robin smiled. "Everything okay?"

"Yeah, it's good."

His phone rang again. "Dammit."

Robin watched his face drain and a scowl form. "What?"

"It's Brenda."

Jason answered it. "What do you want Brenda?" He snapped.

"Jeez Jason, a hello Brenda how are you would have been nice."

"I don't do nice."

Brenda rolled her eyes. "I need you."

He frowned. "For what, target practice?"

"No smartass. I have a fashion show this weekend and I have a stalker. I'm scared Jason."

"I just can't believe that anyone would threaten your life. You're so likeable."

Robin chuckled wishing she could hear the other side of the conversation.

Brenda scowled. "Really? Do you really think that I would even call if it weren't important?"

Jason sighed. She did have a point. It's not like they chatted ever. "What did the threat say?"

"It said that I will be his by the end of the fashion show and there was a picture of the inside of my flat. He was in my home Jason."

Jason pinched the bridge of his nose. "Don't you have security there?"

"I do but obviously they suck. I trust you Jason. Even though you hate me, I know that you wouldn't let anyone hurt me." She said sounding as pathetic as she could.

It was all she could do not to laugh at what she just said, knowing it would make him feel guilty. At least, Carly's incessant whining and manipulations had taught her something.

"I don't hate you Brenda."

Brenda smiled. "Please Jason, will you do this for me? It's just for a few days. You can pick out some new security for me while you're here and then go back."

"Let me check with Sonny."

"How is he?"

Jason rolled his eyes. "He's fine Brenda. And if I agree to this, I don't want you mentioning his name to me."

Brenda and Sonny were over and he would shoot himself in the head if they ever got back together again.

"Okay." She said quietly.

The fact that she agreed so quickly made him nervous and he thought maybe she really was scared.

"I'll call you back later."

He ended the call and looked up at Robin. "I guess I need to go speak to Sonny."

She nodded. "Is Brenda okay?"

"Yeah, she has a stalker."

"Scary."

"Thanks for lunch."

She smiled. "No problem."

She watched him get into the elevator and called Sonny.

"Robin?"

"Hey, I need a huge favor."

"What's going on?"

"Jason is about to come to you. Whatever he asks you, I need you to say yes. He needs a few days off this weekend."

Sonny frowned. "Okay, are you going to explain?"

"No, but just know that no one is in danger okay? And you have to act like you have no idea what's going on."

He nodded. "That would be easy since I don't."

Robin grinned. "I'll explain everything later, I promise."

Sonny smiled. "Alright."

"I owe you one."

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Sonny watched Jason walk into his office curious as to what Robin was up to. "Hey man, what's going on?"

Jason sighed and sat down. "I need to go to Paris for a few days."

Sonny frowned. "Paris? Is Brenda okay?"

"She has a stalker and wants me to find her better security and look after her during her fashion show."

Sonny thought about what Robin said. "Well if…if she's in danger than you need to go."

"You know I'd rather go see the Quartermaines than be around Brenda for more than one second."

Sonny tried not to smile. "Jason, she wouldn't call you unless it was important. When do you leave?"

"In a few days."

"Just get someone to cover for you and be safe. You're still recovering. I know you two don't get along but it's only for a few days."

Jason nodded. "If I survive and I'm not in jail for killing her, I'll be back on Monday."

Sonny grinned as he watched him leave. He waited a few minutes and then headed over to General Hospital.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Robin watched Sonny walked towards her and grinned. "How did it go?"

"Fine but I need to know what is really going on."

Robin pulled him aside. "I'm playing matchmaker."

Sonny frowned. "With Jason and Brenda? They'll kill each other."

Robin laughed. "No, it's actually Jason and Elizabeth."

Sonny smiled. "You really like challenges don't you?"

"They are avoiding each other and I thought why not push them together a little."

He nodded. "I hope you know what you are doing. Jason's hurting pretty badly and so is Elizabeth."

"I know that is why it would be so perfect if they helped each other."

Sonny sighed. "Good luck with that."

Robin smiled. "Thank you. You can take some credit at their wedding."

Sonny shook his head and chuckled and went back to his office.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Jason ran to the drugstore to pick up a few things for his trip. He was walking around the corner, looking at a label and ran into someone.

The woman yelped and Jason reached down and grabbed the travel sized conditioner she had dropped. "Sorry." He said looking up at her.

Elizabeth held her breath for a second. "It's okay." She said softly, grabbing it from his hand. They did a little dance trying to get around each other and finally Jason stood still and she walked around him.

Elizabeth rushed up to the counter to pay. This town was starting to get a little too small for her.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Jason landed in Paris and headed towards Brenda's flat. She had an extra bedroom so Jason was regrettably going to stay there.

He knocked on her door and SuzanneStanwyck answered. "Hello Mr. Morgan."

Jason wasn't sure what to make of the older woman. "Is Brenda here?"

She smiled and looked him up and down. He wasn't at all what she had been expecting. "No, she's at the office. We figured you'd want to get settled and then we can meet her at dinner."

Jason walked inside and Suzanne took in the view from the back. Smiling, she walked towards the bedrooms. "Your bedroom is the one to the right. You should have everything you need in there."

She looked at her watch as Jason walked by. "You have about an hour to settle and then we'll be meeting Brenda for dinner."

Jason rolled his eyes and put his stuff down. He turned around to face her. "Thanks."

"Let me know if you need any help. And you should wear a suit." She said grinning before she went into the other room leaving Jason standing there wondering if she had just hit on him.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Jason hung up his garment back and then grabbed a quick shower. He put on the suit and then walked back into the living room. Suzanne had changed and he was almost stunned by the amount of cleavage she was showing.

"You look very handsome." She said smiling.

Jason nodded. "You look nice." He said softly since it had appeared she had expected him to say something back.

She walked to the door and they headed out.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Brenda watched as Jason and Suzanne walked towards her. She chuckled at the look on Jason's face because Suzanne had looped her arm around his.

She smiled. "Hello Jason. You look nice."

Jason rolled his eyes and held out Suzanne's chair.

"A gentleman too." Suzanne said smiling.

Now Brenda rolled her eyes. She wouldn't even trust Jason to do that for her knowing that he'd probably pull out the chair and her ass would be on the floor.

"Where's your guard?" He asked looking around.

"He's a few tables away."

Jason looked around. "That old guy?"

Brenda nodded.

"Brenda, he's like older than Edward."

"He is not. You are so dramatic."

Suzanne watched their dynamic with interest. Suddenly, Jason seemed like he wanted to strangle someone.

"What's the agenda?"

"I'm going to be at the office late tonight preparing. I'll have….Jeeves watch me if you want to get some beauty sleep."

"You don't even know his name Brenda? Why don't you just wear a shirt that says stalk me."

"His name is Carl." Suzanne said.

Brenda rolled her eyes. "What's with the porn hair, Jason? Did they run out of shears in Port Charles?"

Jason glared at her. "Leave my hair out of this."

"I would if it weren't so distracting. I'll just cut it while you're sleeping."

Jason counted to ten in his head.

Suzanne cleared her throat. "If you two are done, whatever this is you are doing, can we talk about the logistics tomorrow?"

Jason and Brenda glared at each other for a minute.

"Tomorrow is going to be hectic. We go on about 3 p.m. There is going to be tons of people running around and then there are after parties."

Jason sighed. It sounded like a nightmare. "I have a few people I brought in to help. Sean will be staying on afterwards to hire your new security detail."

Brenda tried not to grimace but she knew this was part of the deal.

"And no ditching your guards Brenda."

She glared at him.

"I'll make sure that she doesn't." Suzanne said firmly.

"You're taking his side?"

"It's not about taking sides. It's about your safety. I have no idea what happened between the two of you but you need to put any ill will aside and work together."

They both rolled their eyes and Suzanne went through the schedule for the next day.
