Notes
PJ: Yes she does like Xena too. She has a boyfriend I think you would like to meet. Man can recall every single episode of Dr. Who. Loves our boy. And of course he was great in the play. Spin and Lulu were supposed to be reading those files and learning the truth, but neither did. Lulu about Johnny and Spin about Sam. And I begged for them to keep Sebastian Roche. He maybe a bad boy, but there is something about the man. 96meimei Spinelli is a smuck and so much more. His lot in life is going to become a little hard.ghliason97 my hubby is trying to figure out why I stole his pegboard and have been printing pictures of actors. Even worse why I have rejected written across some of their photos. Add in that I have taken to raiding his action movie collection after not watching them during the nine years we have been married, I am certain he thinks I have lost my mind.
We took the pictures to committee, they will decide in the next couple of days. Two guys at the home, Bill and Steve joined us this morning when I stopped in. they don't watch the show, but were up for any kind of mischief. My group was supposed to have eight ladies, now we are up to fourteen women and two men. So thanks for the input. Laura, I was told to ask about you know what.
Houston we have a problem
Audrey hung up the phone then placed it in her purse while waiting for Monica. "Mom, are you sure you don't want me to come along?"
"No, take Tommy to the airport with Simone. Monica and I are quite capable of handling this." She assured her son. "Also talk to Jeff; find out when he is arriving."
"On my way." He said kissing her. "Here, a postcard from Liz."
"I forgot to tell you, she really doesn't like to be called that anymore." She told her son while taking the card from Dublin. Reading it, she smiled at the long-winded note. Handing it to an entering Monica, she asked "Could you access this site she mentioned."
"Yes, when I was in rehab, I had nothing to do but work on my problem and they recommend taking a class. I did, a computer one. I am no Spinelli but I can look this up at least."
Jason was frustrated, he had gotten no-where's looking for Elizabeth in the south of Scotland, so he decided to try Edinburgh, since his scout had found a private plane had landed there from Ireland about an hour after Liz's had taken off.
Arriving at the hotel, he did some checking around, finally finding someone who recalled Elizabeth and the boys. Entering the bed and breakfast that the castle was masquerading as, he asked for Elizabeth only to be told she had checked out that morning. "Are you Jason?"
"Yes." He said.
"The grandmother left a package for you. There was a question to ask first. The name of Cameron's favorite show?"
"Chuggin Charlie." He replied thinking of the very first gift he ever gave the little boy.
"Here it is." She said handing him the manila envelope.
Jason grimaced, Anna was a grandmother, but not of his sons. Taking the package he went back to his hotel and saw his phone was vibrating on the bed. His regular phone was vibrating; not the one Lucky had given to him. Looking at the caller ID he was relieved when he saw it said Spinelli but he couldn't answer it. Something was telling him not to pick it up.
"Any luck?" Asked an anxious Sam.
"No answer, it went to voicemail." Spinelli said. "I will try to find The Maternal One. She will not let this happen. She forgave you for this after you helped save Stone Cold's progeny."
Sam was not so sure, not after listening to Jagger Cates and the federal prosecutor. Then she had spent a very uncomfortable night in jail. Her mother hadn't been able to help her as Alexis had been suspended for some unknown reason from her job as well as the legal community.
"What about Diane?" She asked. "She is on retainer to help anyone Jason approves."
Spinelli had been shocked when the tall red head had refused saying Jason had never added Sam back to the list of people she could represent for him. That she wouldn't do it without being ordered to. "The legal eagle is unavailable at this time. I will look into this, I promise Fair Samantha, and then things can go back to the way they were in the beginning at the penthouse."
"In the beginning, huh." Said Monica from the doorway. "Are you going to make things the way they were in the beginning at the penthouse? Let's see Jason living there with Elizabeth, no Courtney no Sam. I like that Spinelli. If you are serious, I can give you some help. Remove all that tacky crap that Sam and Courtney spread about get a leather sofa and you can move yourself out. Elizabeth and Jason back the way they should have been. Good idea."
Spinelli looked at Monica and said "The Maternal One lived at the Penthouse with Stone Cold?"
"Yes, she was the first woman to live there with him. Now, I am rather busy and you are in the way. Do everyone a favor and leave now." She said to the young man. "I used to like you around my son, but now, I think you are part of the problem. What good could you possibly see in this woman? I mean my son used to screw her, it's why he feels guilty and lets the slag hang around, but you, is she doing you too?"
Spinelli looked at the blond in shock. Sam wanted to snark at her about being drunk, but said instead. "Don't you owe me, for not going to jail last February."
"No, not really. I made a mistake, paid my debt to society. You on the other hand have just begun to pay yours. I notice my son hasn't rode to the rescue, just where is he. Not here. Strange how he disappeared at the same time as Elizabeth and the boys. It is almost like he planned it."
"You are wrong, Jason wouldn't chase after her, he loves me still." Said Sam.
Spinelli slid out of the room, only to run into Lulu who was arguing with Maxie about Johnny Zachara. Escaping he walked close to Mac's doorway and over heard the commissioner talking to Audrey Hardy about her granddaughter. "She sent a post card. Dublin, Ireland. At least they are no longer listing her as missing."
"True, but why is she in Europe?"
"I don't know. Monica got an e-mail from Jason this morning too; he sent it from Ireland. I think they finally had enough or that he is chasing her. Either way they are safe from this mess. Jeff is arriving in town this afternoon, he is furious about the wild goose chase, but I want to talk to him. Find out what is going on in his head."
"Good luck, I have dealt with my fair share of parents who abandon their kids, he will be full of excuses and evasions, but in the end, he will leave again."
"I hope so, I truly do. What about Alexis Davis? I hadn't meant to take her down as well."
"She should have never had Lainey present a false report to get Sam hired here. I had reservations but was overridden by Ric Lansing."
"Was this before or after they slept together?" Asked Audrey ironically. "Have you found Sonny yet? While I loath the man, I have a hard time picturing him burying Ric where he supposedly did."
"No, but I have another problem, a priest at St. Anne's is missing. Father Mateo, the man who was Manny Ruiz' twin. You be careful, I am glad you have family staying in that big house with you,"
"Thank you, commissioner. I just want to get home and take a day to let all of this sink in."
Spinelli grabbed Maxie and said "I need you in a sidekick kind of way. Lulu, we will see you later."
"No, I want a part of what is going on." She insisted. "If it involves Jason, it might help find Johnny."
"Fine, but we have to clear Sam first." He said. "They are charging her..."
"I know, I know. I don't get how you expect to get her free?"
"I have to locate Stone Cold and he sent an e-mail to the Maternal Medicine Woman."
"Okay, so what." She said.
"You can still get onto the Quartermaine estate, right. I can access her e-mails from there." He said with a grin. "I must locate Stone Cold and tell him that Fair Samantha is being railroaded into jail and ask for the Legal Eagle to represent her."
Spinelli and Lulu went to the Q's and snuck up the stairs, while Maxie was explaining herself to her father. "So anyhow, she was pissing me off comparing Georgie to Elizabeth Webber, I forgot she wanted to talk to you."
"If you had just done what she asked, it would have saved the department a fortune. Maxie, I think you need to grow up, How much longer do you think you are going to get along by being this petulant kid. Elizabeth Webber has reason to hate you; you have nothing to be angry with her about. You gave Lucky drugs, you pretended to be pregnant; you faked a miscarriage, for what?"
"I loved Lucky." She insisted. "She never did, she only was faking it. She just wanted a father for her bastard kid."
Mac looked down in sorrow then said "Do you blame me for what happened between Luke and your mother?"
"No, Luke took advantage of Mom at a weak moment." She protested.
"It was the same thing, but you were the Luke Spencer in this story. You have blamed Lulu for so long for what happened to Dillon and Georgie, but yet you are the Lulu in the story, but you made it worse because you gave an addict drugs. Maxie, you are the one at fault. Not Elizabeth, no matter what was going on in their marriage; it was none of your concern."
"But-" she started to protest.
"No, its time to face facts, Maxie, you are blaming Elizabeth for what you did. You were not the injured party. Cameron Webber was, Elizabeth was, not you, not Lucky. If I EVER hear you call that little boy a bastard again, I will put you in a cell right next to your pal Sam McCall. There is still an open charge for stealing the drugs from GH."
Maxie was in a daze when Mac escorted her from the station, before calling Kevin. "Are you sure it was Anna Devane that you talked to?"
"Yes, what took you so long to get back to me?"
"Maxie and her obsessive hatred of Elizabeth Webber." He sighed. "I just don't get it."
Jason was watching the tape as his family explored the battlements and hallways of the ancient castle. Seeing Jake's excitement when the men performed their taps routine had him chuckling while enjoying Cam finding yet another person to talk to. He stiffened when he saw Jake tugging at the kilt, but was embarrassed along with Elizabeth when his son pulled the skirt and exposed him.
Seeing the look on Elizabeth's face made him feel connected to her for the first time in awhile, he truly found himself wishing he were with them, with no concerns for others back home. For the first time in a long while, Jason felt like he was living for himself. Well, himself and the small family being shown to him on camera.
Hitting pause and touching Elizabeth's frozen face; Jason just wanted to be with them, no matter what. Life shouldn't be this hard; one should not live apart from those you loved. Wondering how hard it would be to just keep going and never return to Port Charles had him sighing at the idea.
Taking out the paper, he saw it was a note from Anna. "Just a few more stops, but first you need to be aware of a few things. "Max and Milo didn't betray you. They are with their father in Sicily. They think they are in danger from John O'Brien and that you sent them away. Cody is now training with us. As for the rest, I am sure my daughter and the unlikely duo of Lucky and Carly are keeping you up to date on the mess."
Spinelli entered the penthouse, finding nothing, no papers, nothing that would tell him where Stone Cold was. Taking out his trusty computer, he searched all names he had for Jason, nothing had come up. Finally accessing Ireland's database, he went through the list of name that had entered the country in the last month looking for anything familiar. A few names leapt out at him.
Elizabeth, Cameron and Jake Morgan, being the main ones. Followed by Anna Devane. And the one that chilled him was Mateo Ruiz.
Stumbling towards the desk, he picked up the phone and tried to reach Jason again. Nothing, no answer at all. Tracking Jason thought his computer, lead no place. So either Jason had disabled his locator or his phone wasn't on.
He went to call Sonny, but got the kingpins' voicemail. The goddess was in jail, the stalwarts of protection were unavailable and there was no one else to help his master. Thinking hard, he decided to see if the Valkerie could lend a friendly ear to him dilemma.
Maxie and Lulu entered their apartment, Lulu hoping to find some sort of message from Johnny, but instead found her mother and Carly waiting for her. "We need you to come with us."
"Why? Is everyone okay?" She asked worried.
"No, they aren't. Maxie, we have to talk to Lulu."
Slamming her way out of her apartment, she went to find Spinelli and get started on freeing Sam.
"Lulu, we have something to tell you." Laura informed her what Jax had heard and what Carly had later confirmed from Claudia.
"You have no idea, you don't know Johnny. He has been there for me, through everything. He wouldn't do that, I know him." She protested.
"He did, he knew, so did Nik."
"NO!" You are wrong." She said slamming her hand on the table. "Why are you doing this to me, Carly, why?"
"I just want you to know the truth, he didn't hire Ian, but he knew afterwards. He dated you, told you he cared, but he was concealing this the entire time."
"There is more, Sam did do all she is being accused of. Lucky confirmed it. Jagger tracked down the men from the park the money they received from Sam it all is true."
"I can believe that, Spinelli confirmed it. But Elizabeth forgave her after she saved Jake."
"Why was Jake in danger? Have you asked yourself that?"
"Not from Sam, Elizabeth and Jason were sneaking around seeing each other, which is why he was in danger."
"No, someone called Sasha and told her about Jake. There are two suspects, Sam and Sonny. Who do you think is more likely to have called her?"
Lulu thought back, she had never really liked Sam, but she had never thought of her as evil, but Carly was the one saying this. Carly who thought Jason hung the sun and the moons. "Why did Jason forgive her then?"
"He didn't. There is more to this, some things I can't tell you. Let's just say, that Jason is on vacation."
"He is with Elizabeth and the boys. What about Lucky? How can she do this to him?"
"Lucky is fine with it, he is the one who helped Jason find Elizabeth." Said Carly. "Yes, Lucky did that."
"What is going on here? Spinelli and I were kidnapped, but placed in a fancy room with a computer that held a few games and some articles about Sam and Claudia. We try to escape but where brought back. Then two days later, we are set free and told that we failed the test. What test and why were we released."
"I have no idea, but you might want to figure it out. There are a lot of strange things going on, and they all seem connected."
"Mom, why are you home, I thought therapy wasn't going well."
"I lied; Scott was blackmailing me using what you did to keep spending time with him. Serena made me realize that his obsession has hurt too many people to keep giving in to him. Now I am going to track your father down. He is in Texas looking for that Ethan kid. Lucky is going to help me track him down, do you want to go with us?"
"No, I should stay and locate Johnny." She said feeling a little sad that he hadn't trusted her with the secret.
Carly answered her phone and told Spinelli to meet her at the Metrocourt. "I have to go, but Lulu, talk to your brothers, and find out what is going on with them, before rejecting your mother's request for help."
Johnny sat down and wrote out the letter, shocked at how easyit was. Now was the time to find out who he was, not as Anthony's son, Claudia's brother, or even Lulu's boyfriend. It was now time to find out who he was. Taking out the dart, he tossed it at the map someone had left on the wall. South America. Good thing he spoke some Spanish.
Walking down the stairs, he paid Coleman and walked out the door, taking the letter to the apartment and leaving it for his former girlfriend.
Alexis was in the Mayor's office when he entered along with Mac Scorpio and someone who looked familiar. "Tom Hardy, right."
"Yes." Was all he said before sitting down. Taking out the paperwork, he waited for the long-winded mayor to begin.
Alexis listened and realized she was about to be fired. "I never ordered her to write up a false report."
"Here is the real one." Said Tom. Reading it, Alexis wasn't really shocked but had no idea that Lainey had glossed over so much.
"Alexis, for the good of the office you are in, I would like you to resign. Use what is happening to Sam. I talked to the Bar Association, along with Diane Miller. You will keep your license to practice law if you agree, if you don't they will open proceedings against you."
"There is something else." Said Mac. "Sam has to plead guilty to the first two charges against her. We are looking at adding some charges to her indictment and Mr. Spinelli might be facing some charges as well."
"We are also looking at Sam for stealing some drugs from GH. The day that Jake was kidnapped. A large shipment of depressants was stolen at GH. We found the bottle in Sam's apartment when executing a search warrant. There is also proof that those exact same drugs were in Elizabeth Webber's blood. The tests were taken during the bio-toxin scare. At the time they hadn't matched up the chemical composition."
"That doesn't mean that Sam did it. Elizabeth ..." Alexis stopped. She had no more excuses to offer.
"That's not the end. Sam also contacted a few out of town attorney's about custody cases where the mom committed suicide and if her will could be overturned." Alexis was green by this point. So when Mac showed her the computer and what was on it, she had nothing to offer. There was nothing left to say. Her daughter was a true Cassidine. Wipe out anyone standing in the way of what you want. Mikkos would be proud.
