Chapter SevenSpinelli rushed in to find his normally emotionless boss laughing. After the initial shock wore off he was thrilled with the sight. Elizabeth, Jason, and Jake were all sitting close together. Hesitant to interrupt Spinelli turned to leave just as Jason looked up. "Did you find something, Spinelli?" "I did, Stone Cold. I found two flight reservations. One of them belonging to a child." "Where to?" "Dallas, Texas. But Stone Cold there is the possibility that the Demented One has moved on." "It's a start." "He didn't." "What makes you so sure?" "He lived in Texas for awhile. Some small town." "Do you remember the name?"
"I think so a Copper's something." Elizabeth bet her lip in frustration. It had been years since her and Lucky had talked about him being on the run. Her emotions, already running too close to the surface, took over. The tears came before she could register them. "I'm sorry." "Shh. It's okay. No expects you to remember. If Luke was around I'd ask him. It's good that you knew that much. We have an idea where to look now." "Actually Stone Cold, if the Maternal One is correct there are only two possible towns that it could be." "Really? Well see if there's any way to narrow it down. Wait which one is closer to Dallas?" "A Copper Canyon. Is that where you want me to start?" "No. Start with the other one." "Sure thing Stone Cold." "You're leaving aren't you?" "I have to. I just don't trust anyone else to find him." "I understand. I just wish I could do something to help." "You did. Spinelli might have taken days to narrow it down. I'm going to get the plane ready. Elizabeth look at me. I promise I'm going to bring Cameron home. Right now I need you to get better and take care of Jake." "I know but he's my little boy. And Lucky was so angry... I'm afraid he may have hurt him. I can't stop thinking about it." "Don't. You have to focus on him being safe. He needs you to be strong." "I know. I don't know how I'll live if anything happens to him." "Nothing will." "Jason, thank you so much." "I didn't do anything. Now get some rest."
"How is Elizabeth doing?" Carly asked Jason when he walked into the living room.
"Physically? She's doing better. Her ribs will hurt for awhile. Mentally? I don't think it's really hit her yet. It might not until she sees Cam again. Carly would you talk to her?" "Right like the Muffin wants to hear anything I've got to say."
"Carly, stop. I'm not going to keep telling you. Let it go." "Fine. Are you really going to look for Cameron?" "Yes, I have to. I care about him. About what happens to him." "Seriously? When did this happen? I didn't even know you had spent time with him." "There's a lot about my life you don't know. Look Carly, I'm not asking you to be her best friend. Just talk to her." "Jason, it's not like I'm happy about what Lucky did. I'm not. He had no right, but I don't think I can be nice to Liz." "Well you better learn. She's going to be in life and not just because of Jake. If you can't be civil I have no problem telling you to stay away." "You wouldn't!" "Don't push me. All you have to do is be nice. This is how you show me you want to be a part of my life." "Fine. I'll go talk to the Muffin but I'm not going to be friends with her."
Jason shook his head and walked over to the desk to start making plans. Besides the plane he would need two SUVs and a few men. Jason thought over who to ask. He needed to trust whomever he chose completely. Max immediately came to mind. He was their best tracker. Not to mention Jason was sure the guard would like to get his hands on Lucky Spencer. So would Milo, if Jason thought about it. He was going to need at least one more man. Who did he trust without question? No one. Well except maybe Marco. He wanted to move up in the organization. This could be his chance to prove himself. Jason picked up the phone and started making calls. Half an hour later everything was ready. Now all he had to do was wait on Spinelli.
Carly stomped up the stairs cursing Jason the whole way. How dare he guilt her in to this? She stopped just outside the door. The sound of Liz crying filtered out to the hallway. Carly hesitantly opened the door and was shocked by what she saw. Elizabeth looked, well...like hell. How could Lucky do this? "Liz? Is it okay if I come in?" "I guess. I'm not exactly good company right now." "I can see that. I'm sorry about Cameron. Lucky, he shouldn't have taken him." "I'm just so worried. He was so... out of control. I think he might be capable of anything." "I understand. When Tony took Michael I was so worried about what he might do, even though I wanted to believe he wouldn't hurt Michael, I knew it was a possibility. He was out of control at that point." "What happened?" "Jason found Michael. He found Michael and Morgan when Faith took them too." "He really loves your boys. He'd do anything for them." "He feels the same way about your son." "I know." "He seems too good at that, rescuing people. Look at all the times he saved you. He'll find Cameron. You just need to trust him." "I do trust him." "So, do you love him or are you going to break his heart again?" "I don't think that's any of your business." "Jason is my friend that makes it my business." "Carly, I thought I though I warned you to be nice."
"I was." Carly said defensively.
"Right. Just stay out of my personal life." "Fine." "Are you leaving?" "Yeah. I'm heading to the airport now." "Ok. Just be careful." "I will be. Don't worry everything will be fine."
