Jason decided to take Jack's advice and search Logan's apartment after looking through the folder thoroughly. If Jack was right, Logan was going to do a lot more than hurt Lulu. He was going to hurt a lot of innocent people in a way that was similar to Jolene's sabotage at the hospital. Jason was furious that Logan had been allowing drugs to be smuggled into Port Charles, and that real pharmaceuticals were being substituted with placebos. The placebos had not been switched with the real drugs yet, but Logan's plan was to facilitate the switch within the next few months, when he had enough, and was sure he could get more. This part of his plan was still in the early stages.

Jason did find evidence that supported Jack's claim that Logan had been planning to frame Johnny. He also found his journal and compared it to the papers in the folder. He wondered how Jack had gotten his hands on it and made a copy. In fact, he wondered about Jack, period. No time for that now, though. Jason had to have Spinelli check into those web sites and show Lulu the proof that Logan was not the bad boy with a heart of gold she wanted to think he was.

"Greetings, Master," Spinelli said with a sheepish smile.

He and Georgie were cuddling on the couch. Jason smiled back at both of them, nodding in response to Spinelli's greeting.

"Georgie, I would normally ask you to leave now, but considering what I want Spinelli to look into kind of involves you, I think you should stay. You may remember something, or think of something that might give us more clues on Jack."

"Mike saw him this morning. He noticed the same thing I did about his eyes."

"I met him."

"You did?" Georgie and Spinelli asked together.

"He doesn't want you to see him," Jason said to Spinelli. "He's really afraid of that."

"Does he think Spinelli would hurt him?"

"All I know is he didn't wanna risk Spinelli seeing him; he said that couldn't happen. He doesn't want anyone to know who he is, but he told me he's a private investigator with a passion for computers."

Spinelli frowned and Jason looked at him thoughtfully.

"He talked a little bit like you; no nicknames, just the way he said some things."

"He checked into a room at Kelly's last night under the name Jack Stone," Georgie said.

"Does that sound familiar to you?" Jason asked Spinelli, who shook his head.

"I need you to do something while I go meet someone. I'll explain when I get back. Look at this folder and access the web sites Jack left for you; he said he knew it wouldn't be a challenge for you, but he wanted to save time. He left the passwords you'll need. Don't tell Lulu."

He emphasized that last and Spinelli gave him a puzzled look as he accepted the folder. Why would he tell Lulu? She'd been avoiding him since the day she'd used Logan to push him away after suddenly deciding she didn't want to talk about a subject she'd started. She was punishing him for trying to get her to be honest with him about her true feelings for Johnny Zacchara. He suddenly wondered why he thought he and Lulu would ever make it as a couple. The thought surprised him, but he knew it was right when he looked at Georgie, a girl who really did love him and would never hurt him the way Lulu had, as a friend or as something more.

"I'm gonna go take care of something. I'll be back as soon as I can and we'll talk about the folder. I need you to access those web sites to prove what Jack's claiming in this file."

Spinelli nodded and Jason left again.

Jack watched from a distance as Lulu performed her waitress duties at Kelly's. He was hoping Jason would meet her here and give her the evidence on Logan, if Jack was right and Jason had had time to search Logan's apartment before Logan disposed of the now useless material.

He watched Spinelli's friend with a mixture of sadness and affection. Lulu was not really a true friend to Spinelli and Jack knew how long it would take him to see that. But he also suspected that Lulu honestly wanted Spinelli's friendship. Her actions had never matched her words. Eventually, those contradictions would prove too much for Spinelli and she would push him away for the final time. She would push him away and pull him back until Spinelli finally found it in him to break the cycle, having no idea what would result from such a necessary but tragic severing of ties.

"Hi," Lulu said, startling Jack out of his thoughts. "What can I get you?" She paused, looking at him more closely. "You're the guy from the papers, the one who saved Georgie."

He nodded reluctantly.

"There's something very familiar about you."

"Lulu," Jason said, approaching Jack's table, "I need to talk to you."

"I can wait," Jack said, hoping he sounded gracious rather than relieved. "I haven't decided what I want yet, anyway."

Lulu gave Jason a puzzled look and followed him a short distance away. Jack watched their body language as Jason began to talk and to show her what he'd found.

"Why would you do that, Jason?" Lulu demanded shrilly.

Jack inched closer, intending to pretend, if anyone challenged him, that he wanted to stop trouble, that he thought Jason might harm Lulu and he wanted to stop that from happening if necessary. He was a stranger in town, so that would be plausible.

"I got an anonymous tip that Logan was dealing drugs in Sonny's territory," Jason said softly, trying to urge Lulu to be quiet, too.

"Who told you that?"

"It doesn't matter; the point is the proof is right there in his journal."

"What business did you have-"

"Stop!"

Jason wasn't being quiet anymore. Lulu was being Lulu and Jason was not going to put up with her childish behavior. She was not going to take her anger out on him the way she did with Spinelli. Jack felt another rush of affection for Jason.

"You may be able to make Spinelli feel guilty for your bad judgment, but not me! He lets you; I won't!"

Jack wanted to applaud. Spinelli had allowed, and would allow, Lulu to get away with that far too often before he would finally find the self-respect he needed to force Lulu to stop using him as her scapegoat.

"You wanna be mad at someone, you be mad at yourself and Logan. He's the one trying to send Johnny to jail for murders he didn't commit. He's the one who tricked you into thinking he was all you wanted him to be, but you're the one who went against everything everyone told you and decided you were gonna be with him! Don't you dare try to blame that on anyone else! You hurt Spinelli I don't know how many times because you wanted to be with a guy who beat him up, forced a kiss on you, cheated on you on a bet and then beat Spinelli up again because he didn't know where you were and Logan decided he was lying! You had Spinelli and everyone else who loves you worried sick by running off and hitchhiking because Logan hurt you the first time and then you stupidly decided to take him back, again just to prove everybody else wrong. You can say it was because Scott Baldwin agreed to give your mother's guardianship back to Nikolas, but we both know that was just the excuse you needed, and Spinelli knows it, too. He may be naïve, but he's not stupid. You created this, Lulu; you let Logan fool you because you wanted to prove everybody was wrong! Instead they were right and you're gonna have to grow up and accept it!"

Jack wished Spinelli could have been the one who told her all this. He wished Spinelli would have had the courage to stand up to Lulu and force her to stop acting like a spoiled child. Jack knew it would have saved her, and especially Spinelli, a lot of pain. But maybe Jason's harsh words would open Lulu's eyes.

"What are you gonna do?" Lulu asked, beginning to cry.

"I'm gonna take care of Logan."

He turned to Jack, knowing instinctively that the old man had come closer to see the results of his actions.

"I'm also gonna find out what I wanna know about you. I wanna know your connection to all this; Diego, Spinelli, Logan, all of it."

"Spinelli?" Lulu asked.

"Yeah, not even Spinelli knows how Jack knows him. Jack told Georgie he knew Spinelli, but that Spinelli doesn't know him. Spinelli confirmed it; he's as confused as the rest of us."

Lulu suddenly stopped crying and began to look suspicious.

"Did he put you up to this?" she demanded of Jack. "Spinelli hates Logan; did he-"

"If you honestly think he would ever do that," Jack said with sudden fury, "you don't know Spinelli half as well as you should by now and you never will!"

"All right," Jason said, "we're all going back to my penthouse. Spinelli and Georgie are already there. We're getting to the bottom of this right now! I'm gonna go tell Mike I need to take you somewhere. It's quiet; he should have time to get someone to cover for you if he needs help later."

Jack knew there was no way out of this. Jason would have his answers, one way or another. Jack only hoped his educated hypothesis about his encounter with Spinelli would be proven wrong.
