"Let me go Ric" Elizabeth shouted.

"Why, so you can run back and help Jason kill me? No thanks" Ric said.

Elizabeth fought against the restraints. "Ric, you are going to be killed anyway," Elizabeth told him. "Jason will find me" she hissed, "and when he does you will be-"

She was cut off by Ric placing tape over mouth, "Quiet" he said. "I have to think"

Ric knew he really was in trouble now. Sam went to Jason and he was alone. He thought about calling Alcazar but he knew after what happened to Carly, Alcazar wouldn't be too keen on helping him.

"I am sorry- still, nothing," Stan said.

"Stan" Sonny said. "Keep trying"

Stan nodded and went back to the computer.

Sonny opened the door to leave and came face to face with Alcazar. "How is Carly?" he asked.

"She is fine" Sonny said. "How can I help you?"

Alcazar cleared his throat, "The psycho Ric is actually using one of my safe houses. That is where Elizabeth is"

"Are you sure?" Sonny asked.

Alcazar nodded, "I would have regulated myself but I felt that was your thing" he replied.

"Which one?" Sonny asked.

Alcazar took out a piece of paper with the address and handed it to Sonny.

"Thanks" Sonny said.

"Give Carly my best" Alcazar said before leaving.

Sonny went back to the living room. "Let's go boys, I have a location on my brother" he announced.

"She will be fine, right?" Alexis asked Carly. "You survived?"

Carly nodded and put on fake smile, "Sure, she will be fine"

The two women sat there in silence. "I love Sonny" Alexis said.

"I know" Carly replied. "When they save Elizabeth you should tell him"

The door opened and Sam was standing there. She teared up at the sight of Carly and Alexis- she had Molly in her arms. "Here" she said to Alexis.

Alexis took Molly, "Thank you" Alexis said stiffly.

Sam turned to Carly, "Congrats on the pregnancy" she said.

Carly didn't respond and so Sam started for the door. She turned around, "I am leaving town," she announced.

"As cowards do," Carly said.

Sam sniffed and left as quickly as possible.

"How can that be my child?" Alexis asked.

"Maybe the strength skipped onto Kristina and Molly?" Carly mused.

"One can only hope" Alexis replied.

Jason moved ahead of Sonny and Jax. He stood in front of the door for a moment ands then kicked it in. He rushed forward and started looking for Elizabeth and Ric. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw Ric and turned to shoot.

Before Ric ducked he pulled out his gun and took a shot at Jason. Jason groaned when the bullet hit him in the shoulder. "Sonny" Jason shouted, "Go after Ric. I will look for Elizabeth"

Sonny and Jax both ran after Ric and Jason stood shakily. He moved the house checking every room and every broom closet. Finally towards the end of the hallway Jason found her. She was chained to a wall and seemed to be sleeping.

"Liz" he called softly hoping not to scare her.

She opened her eyes and stared intently at Jason for a moment. Then she smiled, "Thank you. Oh, thank God"

He moved forward and found the key to the locks. He freed her from the restraints ands then held her. "Are you ok?" he asked.

"Now I am" she assured him.

"Look, Max is waiting outside in the car." Jason said. "I will go with you to the door and then I want you to run to Max. He will take you to the hospital."

"Jason" Elizabeth started.

"I have to finish this Liz" Jason said. Elizabeth nodded and the two walked to the door. He watched Elizabeth run outside and to the car. Max opened the door and helped her inside. Jason waited until they had pulled away and then he went after Sonny and Jax.

"Ric!" Sonny called. "Come out, come out wherever you are!"

Jason came outside and looked around, "Where is Ric?" he asked.

"Hiding" Jax, answered, "What about Elizabeth?"

"Gone. Safe" he replied. Jason kneeled down and looked for Ric. He regretted that decision because a moment later he felt another bullet. "Jeez" he groaned.

"Jason!" Sonny cried but Jason motioned him away.

"I will be fine. Keep looking for Ric," he said.

A moment later Jax lifted his weapon and took a shot. They heard Ric moan.

"You got him," Sonny said. Jax motioned through the trees to a dark figure.

They ran in that direction and kneeled by the figure. Jason reached out, wincing in pain and pulled the mask off the figure.

"Damn" Jax said looking down.

The person Jax shot looked unfamiliar to all of them.

"It isn't him," Jason said. "He got way"

Sonny helped Jason to his feet. "Let's get you to Gh" Sonny said.

"Sam, I am so glad-" Ric started.

"Save it" Sam said. "Ric, it's all over. If you know what is good for you then leave town"

"But Molly-" Ric started.

"Alexis will never let her near you again. Best thing is to leave. That is what I am doing," she told him.

Ric nodded, "I am sorry" Ric said. "I pulled you into my mess and it cost you a lot."

"It's my fault" Sam said. "I let you ruin it but I am moving on" She kissed Ric on the cheek. "Take care"

"You too" Ric called and then looked out at the water. She was right. He needed to leave town but he didn't know where to go. "One day I will be back and I will have my revenge," he said aloud. "One day"
