Okay this chapter explains a few things and asks some new questions.
Chapter SevenJason walked in to the office he shared with Sonny. Stan was at the desk working on finding information about Craig. "You find anything?"
"Nothing useful. This man is like a ghost."
"Keep trying."
"I will. Hey, Johnny, back from the island?"
"Yeah."
"Glad to see you. It's been hectic since Sonny fired Max."
"Sonny fired Max?"
"Yeah. Basically it has to do with Carly."
"Oh say no more."
Spinelli chose that moment to waltz through the door. Johnny pulled out his gun without thinking about it. "Whoa. Quick Draw, Is that necessary?" He asked holding is hands up in surrender.
"Johnny this is Spinelli." "You're Spinelli?"
"I'm also known as the Jackal." "He's helping us?" "Trust me. He knows what he's doing." "Thank you for the vote of confidence Stone Cold." "Just sit down. Stan would you mind?" "You want me to leave?" "I have this job for Spinelli. The fewer people who know the better." "Why him?" "Because he's already started. Stan, I can't do this now." "If he screws it up I'm not fixing it." "Fine." "Stone Cold whatever the job the Jackal assures you he will succeed." "You understand him?" "Not really. Spinelli you hacked in to the hospital's main frame right?" "I did. It was no match for my superior skills." "Can you get footage from the security cameras?" "No problem. When are we talking about?" "Johnny?" "Three days ago. Sixth floor nurses' desk. Around three o'clock." "You have been most helpful Quick Draw." "So can you do it?" "Stone Cold you doubt my genius? Give me like an hour." "Good. And Spinelli this is between us." "Does this have to do with the Enchanting One?" "Yes." "Well then I will devote all my skills to this problem. I'm headed over to the penthouse to work. C'ya Quick Draw." "Wow. That kid is weird. Is he high or something?" "He better not be. I'd hate to have to kill him." "He said the penthouse. He's living with you?" "Yeah. Long story." "I've missed a lot being on the island. So he has nicknames for everyone?" "Yeah. I asked him to stop but... It's not a big deal." "He must be good then." "He can do anything with a computer."

Lucky sat in a bar thinking about his plan. It was nearly perfect. Best of all nothing pointed to him. No one even knew he was back in town. Everyone just assumed he was so brokenhearted that he had left town, running from what he didn't have control over, sort of like his father did from time to time. Nothing could be further from the truth, he was just waiting to make his move.
Helena had taught him a lot about scheming. Why do it yourself when you could get other people to do it for you? Especially when that someone was as willing, and open to suggestion as Sam. For a former con artist she wasn't very smart. It didn't take much to convince her to destroy Liz. In fact she thought it was her idea. Now all he had to do was sit back and watch.

Amelia looked at the restraining order on her desk. It pissed her off that two mobsters were messing with her plans. She had hoped Mr. Morgan would want to protect his unborn child. It seemed he really was a Borg. Oh well. Amelia didn't care about the kid either. The press on the other hand would go crazy over it. Mobsters and babies always made for interesting reading. Mr. Corinthos thought the press was a problem before. He had no idea how bad it could get. He was totally unprepared, thanks to his enforcer's secrecy.
Laughing, Amelia picked up the phone and dialed. "May I speak with Ms. Berry please? Tell her it's Amelia. Thank you." "Amelia, how have you been? More importantly do you have any juicy gossip?" "You know me so well. I have a huge story that I want to give you an exclusive on." "I'm all ears." "Well you know all about Sam McCall right?" "I've done a few pieces on her." "Good. Well her boyfriend is about to become a daddy." "Ms. McCall isn't pregnant." "Exactly." "Oh this is good. Who's the proud mommy?" "Some nurse. An Elizabeth something." "You know this is going to be big?" "Actually I'm counting on it. When do you think it'll run?" "I'll wait till Sunday. So that's what, three days." "Perfect. Let me know if you need any help." "I will. Bye."

Spinelli was working as quickly as he could on his lap top. It was easy to hack into the hospital main frame. Their idea of security was laughable. Spinelli was sure Little Dude could hack into it. Finding the footage Stone Cold was looking for was more of a challenge. The whole system was a mess. Spinelli finally found what he was looking for. He intended to just watch it once before calling Stone Cold. Instead he ended up watching it several times. He was shocked and angry at what he saw.
"Morgan." "Ah Stone Cold I... I found the.. uh stuff you wanted." "You still at the penthouse?" "Yeah." "I'll be right there. And Spinelli? Thanks man."
When Jason ended the call Spinelli went back to his computer. He brought up the search engine he had designed. It was how he found out about the Innocent One. He could search any database with it. If the formally Fair Sam thought she could hurt his friends she was wrong. She would feel the wrath of the Jackal. Spinelli typed in a few new parameters and hit enter. Now all he had to do was wait. That and hope Stone Cold didn't kill him when he heard the bad news.
