Quick Question: we are casting Francis, but don't have any particular actor in mind. Would the readers like to give me some suggestions that I may take back to the ladies?

Casting call for an actor between the ages of 40 to 50. Dirty blond hair, nice build.

We would like to thank the cast of AMC for appearing in yesterday's episode. Jacob Young and Aidan Turner.

Forgot to add, my ladies read the reviews today, I want to thank those that have reviewed. You have made their day.

The kidnappings will be wrapping up as I set them free, most of the deadwood gone. All that is left is people who have storylines to wrap up. My ladies came back from the Casino so I have four new prompts and a question for all of you. Also, I can start uploading the chapters of Switching, they get them first.

Houston we have a problem 7

"Carly, where is Jax?" Asked Lucky as he pushed his way inside.

"Hello, Lucky. I am fine, have you heard from Elizabeth, no I haven't heard from Jason. How was your day?" She said to herself.

"Knock it off, where is he?" He asked angrily.

So much for his attitude changing, Carly thought. "He went to get us dinner, what is so important?"

"His name was on a list that Sam had. I also think Jerry is behind some of this."

"Jerry is dead." She said more hoping it was true than believing it.

"Really, so why then is someone accessing Lorenzo Alcazar's banks accounts? We both know the man is dead, no matter what Jason's trial said."

"Why do you want to talk to Jax about it?"

"The money was moved through Australia, he is the only Aussie I could think of." He admitted, realizing that he was making a fool of himself.

"What about Robin's dad, or even your boss. Mac was from there too."

"Do you really think Mac Scorpio decided to help himself to millions of dollars from Lorenzo Alcazar?" He asked trying not to smile.

"Okay, so it is a little far fetched." She admitted, seeing her blond husband entering, she asked "Are you embezzling millions of dollars from the Alcazar accounts?"

"No, but someone tried." He said. "The bank refused the transfer but it was about fifty million dollars."

"That would be the money." Said Lucky. "Sam was involved somehow and it looks like your brother might be alive."

Jason waited for his contract, but instead received a note from the front desk. "Jase, I lost them in Dublin. They flew out on a private flight late last night. I rented the same place they were staying. Here is the key."

Catching the train to Holyhead, Jason arranged to be on the last ferry to Dublin.

Anna felt bad not telling Elizabeth that Jason was chasing after them, but she wanted to see how deep his commitment was before letting him get close to his family. As they settled in Edinburgh, she made arrangements for them to visit the various museums like they had in Dublin.

Calling her ex, she listened as he whined about having to baby-sit Sonny, but while she did feel it was an unjust punishment, she didn't trust her co-conspirators, to keep the mobster in line. Hearing one enter, she asked "Anything?"

"No, Francis Corelli is too far underground. At least we know if we can't find him, neither can Jason." stated Roy Deluca

"Don't be too sure on that." She said before wandering over to the window to watch Elizabeth and the boys playing in the light dusting of snow that had fallen earlier. "What about the other?"

"You're correct, no body was ever recovered. He is listed as missing."

Sam felt the truck stop. Opening the door, she fell hitting her knee. Swearing as she looked at the bleeding gash, she limped over to the diner and gas station.

Entering she went to the bathroom; then grabbed something to eat. Stopping, she saw the USA today in the trash and grabbed it. Looking around she saw a potential ride home. "Hey, where are you going?"

"Elizabethtown, Illinois, are you looking for a ride?" Asked the trucker while looking at her exposed assets.

"Yes, but I am heading the opposite way, Port Charles New York. I heard it isn't that far from here."

"Well, I can offer a ride as far as Illinois, but maybe you can catch a ride to New York from there." He said thinking about getting her in the back of his truck. This is Belleville, Missouri. You are really lost."

Ten minutes later Sam was trying to reach Spinelli, Jason or even her mother. Finally hearing Alexis say "I will accept the charges. Sam, where are you?"

"Lost, can you send me some money? I am in Missouri without my cell phone or credit cards." Giving her the Western Union address for the truck stop, she went inside and spent her last fifteen dollars waiting on the telegram from Alexis. When it arrived, she bought a ride to the airport, and was soon on a Northwest flight to Rochester, from there she was going to have to take a bus.

Jason arrived in Dublin, and went straight to the small Georgian House; inside he found a blank postcard showing Trinity Church and a small package. Seeing the note attached, he opened it. "Morgan, they are safe from your enemies, but are they really safe from your so-called friends. Make up your mind about this, BEFORE coming to look for us."

Jason sat down and really tried to look at the photos. Seeing Elizabeth smiling and seemingly happy, he knew he had to see her eyes before believing what they were saying. Elizabeth's eyes were the windows to her soul. He only had to look into them to know what she was feeling. Realizing that he hadn't really looked at her truly in months, Jason went to that dark place that seemed to be trying to consume him. What had he done, and why?

Thinking, about it, he stumbled into the small kitchen, where he found a tape. Placing it in the player above the kitchen heath, he listened as Elizabeth was saying he didn't truly want to be a father to Jake. That he wanted things to remain the same. That it is why he wouldn't truly commit to her or the boys.

Sitting on the stool, he was shocked. "Why would you think that? You and the boys, mean the world to me, Elizabeth. What are you thinking and what is going on?"

Serena called her grandmother and let her know what was going on. Gail offered to come to town, but the young blond said. "I have a couple of things to take care of, but I am returning home soon. Did grandfather take care of that paperwork for me?"

"Yes, are you sure about this?"

"I am, Scott's life revolves around Laura Spencer, not us. Well, I am freeing myself from it." She said before leaving her room in the Metrocourt. Walking down the hallway to the Crimson offices, she entered and saw Maxie Jones hanging up the phone.

"Serena, hi, why are you in town?" She asked her little sister's friend.

"I am looking for Lulu Spencer and for your father. Scott is in Europe with Lulu's mother and I just wanted to make sure she knew it."

"She decided to take the week off. Johnny and her most have run off someplace." Shrugged Maxie before answering the phone. Hanging up she turned back to the younger blond and said "He was fired from Crimson, for something stupid, I think. I mean, I honestly don't know."

Serena wanted to roll her eyes, but said instead. "Do you know where you dad is, it's about Elizabeth Webber."

When she saw Maxie's lips curl in disgust, Serena recalled what Georgie had told her. Listening as the blond called Elizabeth a drama queen and said that she had more than likely disappeared to get Jason's attention now that he was back with Sam, Serena snapped at the selfish girl.

"Well, she might still be with Lucky Spencer, but some whore was sleeping with him in exchange for drugs. OOPs, that was you, wasn't it? Grow up Maxie, get over yourself. You are the same little girl jealous that Elizabeth was going to be in Luke and Laura's wedding and you weren't."

Walking out the door, she turned and said "Why are you so mad at Elizabeth, because she sees through you or because she is everything your not? The funny thing is, she reminds me of Georgie, makes me wonder why you hate her so much, instead of embracing that."

Maxie was still growling at the unwarranted attack by Serena as she entered Kelly's two hours later. Seeing Mike, she asked if Spinelli had been in recently.

"Haven't seen him in a few days. Morgan either. Of course, with his no longer being wanted, he should return soon."

Taking her order, she went back to her apartment, where she heard a knock on the door. Opening it, she saw her dad looking for Johnny Zachara. "If you see him, tell him he has twenty-four hours to come down and answer questions about the shooting of Michael Corinthos or he will be arrested as an accessory."

Mac explained to his daughter, exactly why he was looking for him, but she refused to believe that Johnny had been involved in getting Carly's son shot. Maxie deliberately didn't pass on Serena's message after the attack this afternoon.

Spinelli found himself being dragged back to their room by the men in black. "Don't try that again."

"Kid, I have been told to keep you alive, but don't push it." He was told before being shoved into the room that Lulu was in. "You have lost privileges. Remove the computer."

Walking back down to where Robert Scorpio was standing, he sat down the laptop and went over to check out the monitor on the patient. "How much longer are we going to be holding him?"

"Til, Anna says differently." He told him. "What about the other guests."

"Olivia Falconari was sent with Dante to Australia. I showed her the tape. When are we showing Morgan?"

"When the time is right. Anna wants him to deal with this one. Cody Paul took up the offer. He starts training on Tuesday with Frisco."

"Good, one less to deal with. So what about that kid Ethan and the wild goose chase he is leading Luke Spencer on and why?"

"No luck finding it yet and Ethan is not getting any closer to Spencer. He forgot why we sent him there in the first place. I told Frisco we would keep looking."

Lucky was waiting at his mother's house when she came through the door with Nik. After hugging him, she started to cry. "Mom?"

"For the first time in years, you look like the boy I lost in that fire."

"I am, but there are going to be changes in my life. I can't live it trying to be some sort of ideal son for you, and wanting to be Luke Spencer's son. After we find Elizabeth and her boys, I am leaving. Maybe heading to Texas, or even Alaska."

"Lucky are you sure that is necessary?" She asked.

"I was happy there. Things got away from me here. I will always love Elizabeth, but like a friend. We should never have tried to make it as a couple. I hope that Morgan learns whatever it is he needs to and finally gives her the happiness that she truly deserves."

Nik took a step back, shocked. Lucky truly was evolving. "I was hoping to get a minute with you. Alexis sent Sam money; she is on her way home. Alexis told her to fly into Rochester to avoid getting arrested at the airport."

"Thanks, but are you sure?" He asked his brother. "I will be watching, I want to have a few words with your cousin." Lucky thought about the files he had read, the look on Diane Miller's face was priceless when he had turned them over to her for Jason. She had not trusted him at first, but a call from Carly had changed all that.

"Yes, I am. Alexis is wound too tight, and I think she is making a mistake."

Laura sat down and listened throughout the night as they caught her up on all that was going on, once Nik went home to Spencer, Lucky told her the rest.

"What happens now?" She asked shaking her head at Luke's disregard for someone he owed an awful lot to.

"I don't know. I don't recognize Dad anymore."

"I might not be Luke Spencer, but I was there for most of his adventures, tell me what you need." Said a quietly confident Laura.

"To have you talk to Monica, find out what she knows, then could you make a list of anyone connected to Anna Devane. She has Elizabeth with her. Carly is looking into some things with Robin and Patrick."

Hearing silence, he looked up and said "Morgan is in trouble, a temporary truce has been declared."

"Okay." Said raising her eyebrows at that one. "What about Sonny?"

"Missing presumed dead. Either way, he isn't the man we once knew." He told his mother. "I hate to do this, but I have to go."

Jagger met the plane and took the file from Steven Webber. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, but who would purchase this over the Internet from here. It was pretty well hidden, transferred all over the place, but Port Charles was its last stop."

"Okay, I will get into it. Claudia Zachara is dead; they found Ric Lansing's body in a half-dug grave outside of town. The estate belonging to the Zacharas."

Any luck finding Corinthos?"

"No, but forensic evidence proves he was the one who killed Lansing."

Steven went to see his grams and his uncle. "So have we heard anything?"

"No, but your father is on his way. The FBI sent someone to talk to him; he played concerned father to the hilt."

"Too bad, he won't stick around." Said Steven knowingly. "This is all for the press. Do you have any idea why the WSB is keeping this quiet, letting the kidnapping story run."

"No idea, but it terrifies me."

"Please forgive me father, for I have sinned. It has been two months since my last confession...."
