A/N – Thanks for the reviews! Guest – I honestly write as I go. I'm usually several chapters ahead of the game, but I'm not finished writing yet. However, I don't plan for it to be really long.

Chapter 14 – Game Plan

Alcazar walked into Claudia's office and shut the door. "What is so important that you of all people have summoned me?"

"I need help."

Lorenzo's eyebrow shot up. "You need help from me?"

She nodded and pushed the picture over to him. He looked up at her for a brief moment and then looked back down again.

"Do you have any idea who might have done it?"

"I can't prove anything. But this has Jerry Jax written all over it."

Claudia frowned. "I thought he was dead."

"Yeah well, it's hard to kill Satan."

"Do you know where he is?"

Lorenzo shrugged. "I lost track of him in Germany."

Claudia was trying to keep her emotions in check. "So I'm supposed to just sit here and wait for him to contact me?"

Lorenzo didn't say anything.

"Fuck that. I'm going to Germany and try to get some answers."

Lorenzo nodded. "You can use my jet."

Claudia was surprised. "That's awfully generous of you. What are you expecting in return?"

"Nothing. If my family were taken, I wouldn't sit back and do nothing either."

"Thanks. I'll go pack."

"Claudia, Jerry is very dangerous. He won't hesitate to kill him if he thinks you betrayed him. Besides, we don't even know if it's him."

Claudia stood up. "Well, considering I have no other suspects, I'm going to trust my instincts and go find that asshole."

Lorenzo smirked. "Good luck Claudia. You'll need it."

Jason and Britt continued to plan their escape. Two days later, Britt showed up at the café in order to send another message.

Milo was sitting in the corner and saw her come in.

She sat down and logged into the forum and typed in the coordinates of the clinic and then said, "Wait for my signal."

A message flashed up on her screen. "Greetings Guardian. We need a face to face."

Britt looked around. "I can't do that. It isn't safe."

"We'll make sure that you are safe. Arrangements have been made. You were not followed."

Britt was scared. "I don't think that this is a good idea."

"You have no choice. Get in your car and turn left. Go a half mile down and you will come to an industrial complex. Go to building 5 and go inside. I assure you that we mean you no harm."

"Okay." She said standing up. Jason had warned her that they'd make contact, but she was still really nervous.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Britt drove to the building and quickly opened the door and walked inside. Johnny was standing there. "Hello, I'm Johnny."

"I'm Britt." She said softly.

"Follow me please."

Johnny led her into a conference room where Liz and her team were waiting.

Britt sat down and fidgeted in her seat. They were all staring at her and she felt really exposed.

Elizabeth cleared her throat. "I'm Jason's wife. Is he okay?"

Britt nodded. Liz was beautiful but she looked really tired. Britt couldn't even imagine how crazy she must have been going thinking that Jason was dead. "He's okay. Apparently, he was brought to the clinic to recover and was in a coma for a month."

Johnny squeezed Elizabeth's hand.

"I've been helping him. They were giving him drugs so that he would be weak and not give them any problems. For the most part, I've been able to fool them into thinking I'm giving him the shot so he can regain his strength."

"Is he alone at the clinic?" Johnny asked.

"No, there are two others, Alan Quartermaine and Maxie Jones."

Spinelli's jaw dropped open and Liz gasped. "Maxinista is alive?"

Britt was confused. "Maxie is fine. They have her restrained so she can't escape but her mouth still works just fine."

Johnny grinned.

"And Alan?" Liz asked.

"He had cancer but they used Jason's bone marrow to cure him. He's recovering and is in rehab."

Francis frowned. "I don't get it. Why take all of them?"

"I'm not sure. My mother didn't share everything with me. She doesn't trust me."

"Who is your mother?" Johnny asked.

"Dr. Liesl Obrecht."

None of them had heard of her. "My father, who is in prison, is Caesar Faison."

Elizabeth frowned. "I've heard of him."

"My mother is working with Jerry." She pulled out the map from her purse. "Jason asked me to give you this. It's a map of the building. I also sent The Priestess the coordinates as well. You are to wait for me to send you a message before going there."

"Why are we waiting?" Elizabeth asked.

"Because Alan is not strong enough."

"How do we know we can trust you?" Francis asked.

"I'm risking my life to help them. My mother would kill me if she found out that I was talking to you. And Jason promised me that he'd take me with all of you back to Port Charles so that I'd be protected."

"How long do you think it will take to get Alan strong enough?"

"Well, he's pretending to go slow but I think he'll be fine in about three days or so."

"Tell Jason, he has three days. If we do not hear from you by 6:00 p.m. that day, then we'll assume something is wrong and we're coming anyway. I need my husband back." Elizabeth said emotionally.

Britt looked at Liz for a moment as the pain etched into her face. "He loves you so much. When he talks about how he feels about you, it gives me hope. I will do the best I can to keep him safe. I promise."

Elizabeth nodded as the tears rolled down her face. "Tell him that I love him so much." She said as her hand touched her belly.

Britt stood up. "I guess I'll see you all in 3 days."

Liz stood up and hugged her. "Thank you Britt. Thank you for helping him."

Britt nodded and left.

Britt slipped into the movie theatre. Her plan was to hide out there for a while. She hadn't touched base with her mother and she knew she'd call soon. About 15 minutes later, her phone buzzed and she looked down at a text.

"Where are you Britta? I was just at your apartment and you were gone."

"I'm sitting in a movie theatre mother. It is my day off."

Her mother rolled her eyes. "Is it almost over? I want to eat dinner with you."

Britt wanted to gag. "I'll just leave."

Dr. Obrecht smiled. "Thank you. Meet me at our special place."

Britt got up and went to her car and headed to the restaurant.

liIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Elizabeth wiped the tears from her eyes. "We're so close." She said softly.

"I know. Three days Elizabeth, you're going to see him in three days." Francis said.

Elizabeth smiled. "I think I'm going to go crazy waiting."

Johnny, Francis, and Cody were reviewing the map. The locations of the patients were marked. "We're going to need a lot more men." Cody said.

"What can we do?"

"I'll try to call in some favors." Francis said.

"I'm going with you."

Francis looked up. "No, it's too dangerous."

"I'll stay out of the way. Hell, I'll stay in the car. But, I'm not staying at the house." Elizabeth said firmly.

Johnny pinched the bridge of his nose. "Elizabeth…."

"Johnny, don't act like you wouldn't do the same. I'll stay hidden. I won't come in unless you tell me it's safe. Please, I have to do this."

"I'm not promising anything, but I'll try to figure something out." Johnny said.

Elizabeth sighed with relief and prayed that everything would go well.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Britt sat down across from her mother.

"Why do you look like you'd rather be tortured than sit here with me?"

"Is that a trick question?

Dr. Obrecht rolled her eyes and looked down at the menu. "Honestly Britta, you're so serious."

They ordered and her mother smiled. "So, we have another patient coming in."

Britt frowned. "Who?"

"His name is Johnny Zacchara."

"And?"

"Nothing, I just wanted you to know so you weren't surprised tomorrow."

"When will this all end? I'm so tired of it already."

"Soon Britta. In a few weeks, we will all be taking a trip to the states."

"Me too?"

She nodded. "Aren't you excited to take a nice vacation?"

"I'm growing tired of all the games."

"See, that is another difference between you and me. I thrive from playing all the games. It keeps me young; all this plotting and scheming. You need to appreciate the finer things in life."

Britt shook her head. She couldn't wait to get away from her mother.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Britt drove to her apartment and went inside. She waited and snuck out the back and got in an awaiting cab. It waited while she ran into the café and signed in.

"New patient. Johnny Zacchara. Map coordinates to follow." She typed to the Priestess and then she logged off. Feeling very proud of herself she got up and went home. Soon she would be free.
