A/N: I have had severe writer's block for the longest and haven't been able to finish these stories (I Will Stand By You, The Next Generation and Spencer-Scorpio Adventures). And after asking the amazing cinderella9056, to help me finish the stories, she so graciously agreed. This was a collaborative effort between myself and cinderella9056. I wanted these stories finished not just for my sake but for all of you that have read and reviewed. So once again thank you to the amazing cinderella9056 for agreeing to help complete these stories. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
Chapter Nine
Jason walks out of the hospital and calls Spinelli.
Spinelli answers the phone and says "This is the Jackal, The Assassin of the Internet."
Jason shakes his head at his young friend. "Spinelli, I need to know if you have found the warehouse where Franco is hiding out."
"From the last call that The Demented One made to you, I was able to track the number down, it is warehouse 66 on the docks. Now Stone Cold can go make him sorry he ever messed with his family. How is Dr. Doe Eyes?"
"Finally, very good Spinelli. Robin is in surgery."
"If you need the Jackal's assistance I am ready. I will meet you at Kelly's."
"Okay, Spinelli."
"See you soon, Stone Cold." Jackal said, heading out the door of the penthouse intent on getting to Kelly's as soon as possible to meet Stone Cold.
Meanwhile back at the hospital Anna is pacing, Mac and Felicia are watching her pace as is Maxie and Georgie watching Anna.
The waiting room is full of Robin's friends. Jax leans over and asks his wife, "Have you heard from Jason?"
Carly said, "No, you told me Anna said he was here and left. He has gone after Franco. I just hope he doesn't get in trouble for what he is about to do."
"I don't think he will, honey." Jax says, trying to reassure his wife. "Anna, I think considering it's her daughter in that operating room fighting for her life, I doubt she will do anything to Jason and do you really think that anyone will catch him at it."
"No, Jason is the best at what he does. Okay, I'll try to stop worrying about him. Robin is your friend and well, we are working on being more than civil with each other. We even had lunch the other day and not even one argument."
"I'm proud of you, Carly, you've come a long way from when I met you." Carly squeezes her husband's hand.
Brenda comes running into the waiting room and she went up to Anna who was still pacing and Anna sees her and Brenda walks up to Anna and hugs her. "Have you heard anything?"
"No, not since she was taken in, but I figure no news is good news, it means she is still fighting to live."
Brenda steps back and notices everyone who is there, her expression turns cold looking at Jax with Carly. Now was not the time for that though. She would deal with that once her sister and best friend was out of the woods, then she would let him have it for what he had done to her. She turns her attention back to Anna, not seeing who she was looking for "Where is Jason?" Brenda whispers to Anna.
"He had some business to take care of." Anna tells Brenda and they both know what he was doing.
…
Meanwhile Jason meets up with Spinelli and the two of them head to warehouse 66 and Jason tries the door to find it locked. He takes out a lock pick kit and precedes to unlock the door. They go in and look around and Franco is not there, but they know by the art that it was indeed Franco's place. Jason relocks the door and he and Spinelli, who he places out of sight so Franco can't see him and go after him and tells Spinelli to sit there and not to move, so the Jackal sits where Stone Cold tells him to out of sight.
About half an hour later Franco unlocks the door and walks in not expecting Jason to be there with a gun. Franco knows he's dead, but he has a trump card. "You might want to listen to me before you decide to shoot me."
"Why?"
"Young Emma."
"You can't do anything to her or Bridgette if you are dead, so listening to you; I don't think so."
"I took young Emma already from her babysitter. I left young Bridgette tied up in the closet. Your daughter Emma, yes I know she is your daughter. Emma has been delivered to someone who wanted her. It was my delight to help take her."
Jason who is now angrier than he was takes out his cell phone and calls the babysitter. No answer. "Who did you deliver her to?"
"Now Jason that would be telling. Why would I want to do that?" Franco said with a sick smile, thinking he had the upper hand.
Jason thinks and grabs Franco and takes out his cell phone from his shirt pocket. "Spinelli."
Spinelli gets up and with his trusty computer comes over to Jason. "Yes, Stone Cold?"
"Find out who he called on this phone." Franco loses his smile. He knows if this kid finds out who has Emma that he is dead and the last number he called was to whom he gave Emma too.
"Jason, just let me walk out of here and I will tell you who has young Emma."
"Let me think about that. Oh, No. You have been a thorn in my side for too long. You killed my sister and tried to kill Robin."
"What do you mean tried to? I killed Robin."
"No, she is alive and she is going to stay that way."
"She was supposed to die." Franco yelled.
"Most people know that Robin is a fighter. She has survived a lot. A little puissant like you is not going to take her out. While we wait for Spinelli to work his magic, why don't we look at your work, especially of this picture of me?" Jason takes out a knife and sticks it into the canvas and rips it up.
Franco screams, "No, how could you do that! That was my masterpiece. My Jason. NO!"
"Stone Cold, I have the number and name."
"Good, who is it?" He was expecting one of his enemies' names.
"Grant Putnam." Spinelli said, knowing now wasn't the time to fool around and make him guess. This was serious.
"Who is he?" Jason asked and Franco started laughing.
"What is so funny? You are about to die." Jason said in a serious but deadly tone of voice.
"You never listened to Robin, did you? Grant Putnam is no enemy of yours Jason but of hers." Franco said laughing while Spinelli pulls the name up on his trusty computer.
"He is right Stone Cold, he is the person who killed Robin's Grandmother in front of her. He went to prison after he had kidnapped Robin's mother Anna and she was found and he escaped three days ago from prison.
Franco still laughing and all of a sudden he stops when Jason has had enough of him and with the silencer on the gun and shoots Franco through the heart.
Spinelli calls the clean-up crew as Spinelli and Jason walk out of the warehouse. They toss the throw away gun in the cold river by the warehouse and Jason takes his gloves off and heads to his daughter's babysitter's house to get his daughter.
Spinelli asked "Why did I not know that Emma was your daughter?"
"No one knew, I'll explain, but let's get Bridgette first and head to the hospital. I need to know how Robin is."
Spinelli knows to drop it, but he knew Jason would explain later he was worried about his family. They find the babysitter unconscious and Bridgette locked in the closet. They get her out and Bridgette says that Franco told her "Your mother is dead. Dad she's not is she?"
"No, but she was shot. Let's go to the hospital."
"What about Emma? He took Emma."
"We will find Emma and bring her home. I want to check on your Mom and talk to Anna. Let's go. Spinelli did you call an ambulance?"
"Yes, Stone Cold."
"Good then let's go." The three of them walk out of the house and head to the hospital.
