Chapter 20 – Hostile Situation

Sam looked over at her brother Danny and smiled. "Thanks for bailing me out."

He smirked. "It was the least I could do."

They had been running cons together for years. Most people thought that Danny was mentally handicapped. It was a part of their ruse.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want revenge. Jason Quartermaine did this to me. No one would have ever found out who I was. I want him to suffer."

"Who are we hurting?"

Sam smiled. "I have a couple of people in mind. This is where we are going to start." She said before revealing her list.

"I'll get it on it right now after I drop you off."

"Excellent." She said.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

About two hours later, Liz finished up her work and walked into Jason's office.

"You hungry?" He asked.

"A little."

"Would you mind going over to my place for dinner?"

She shook her head. "No."

"Let's go." He said standing up.

They made their way to the car and then Francis took them to the Towers with Cody following close by.

+IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Elizabeth finished her chicken and smiled. "That was really good. I missed your cooking."

Jason smiled. "I'm glad you liked it. Paloma emailed me the recipe."

Liz's eyes widened. "Get out. You're still talking to her?"

He nodded. "I am. She is a great lady and I'm learning a lot."

Liz grinned. "I told you she was a keeper. We could have smuggled her back."

Jason smiled. "Trust me, I really considered it."

His phone buzzed and Jason answered it quickly. "Hello?"

"Jason, it's Johnny. You need to get to General Hospital."

"What happened?"

"It's Miranda. She's been stabbed."

Jason was shocked. "I'll be right there."

"What happened?"

"Miranda was stabbed." He said standing up. "I have to go."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"No. It's too dangerous. Promise me that you'll stay here. Please." He pleaded.

"Okay." She said surprised by how emotional he was being.

She stood up and gave him a hug. "I hope that she's okay."

"Me too." He said before pulling back. "I'm putting a bat by the door. Cody will yell the word Florence before coming in. Do not open the door if you don't hear that. I don't care what is going on in that hallway."

"Okay."

He started to walk away and then turned and muttered, "Fuck it." He strode over to her and pulled her into his arms and to Liz's shock, he kissed her tenderly. When Liz threw her arms around his neck and returned it, he slightly deepened it before pulling back and staring into her eyes. "I'll definitely see you later."

She blushed and then smiled and Jason returned it before rushing away.

"Be careful." She called out before touching her lips and grinning. Snapping out of it, she went into the kitchen to clean up. She wanted Jason and to her surprise, she didn't feel scared. It just felt right.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Jason ran into the emergency room and was surprised to see Jax who had blood all over his shirt.

"What happened?"

"We were walking along the docks and someone hit me from behind and knocked me down. They stabbed her and ran. I called 911 as soon as I got my bearings and applied pressure. It was crazy. I don't understand who would do this." Jax said emotionally.

"I might have an idea." Jason said.

"Who?"

"Sam McCall. I turned her into the cops. She somehow made bail and then the last person she thinks I'm dating ends up in the hospital. I don't think it's a coincidence."

Jax rubbed his face for a moment. "This is crazy."

"I know."

Leyla walked towards them. "She's stable. Luckily, the knife missed all her vital organs. She did lose a lot of blood so we're giving her a transfusion, but she'll be okay."

"Thank you." Jax said. "When can we see her?"

"I'll come and get you when she's settled in."

Jason watched her walk away. "Maybe I shouldn't stay here. It might put Miranda in more danger."

"I'll stay with her. When they release her, she can come stay with me." Jax said firmly.

Jason smirked. "So, you're into Miranda."

Jax tried not to smile but he couldn't help it. "What if I am?"

"Don't hurt her or you'll answer to me."

Jax's eyes twinkled. "Am I supposed to be scared by that?"

Jason chuckled. "Just be good to her. She's a good friend."

"I will."

Jason got on the elevator and when the doors opened on the next floor, he was shocked when Danny and Sam got on. They had paid off a nurse to text her when Jason got on the elevator. They got lucky when his elevator stopped at their floor.

"Hello Jason." Sam said.

Jason was livid. "Why did you hurt her?"

"Because she was important to you and I could get to her. Payback is a bitch isn't it? And if you don't come with us, then I will have no problem finishing her off and Elizabeth will be next. So, what's it going to be?" She asked with her arms crossed.

Danny lifted his shirt so Jason could see his gun.

Jason wasn't sure if what he was about to say was the smartest thing to do but he felt like he had no other choice. "Promise not to touch them and I'll come with you willingly."

Sam smiled. "Good. I'll leave her alone. We're parked in the garage."

Jason sighed. He had a feeling that this was not going to end well.

"Phone." Sam said holding her hand out.

Jason grabbed his phone and put it in her hand. They got off the elevator and he got in the car with them and just prayed that someone would look at the security footage and find him.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Twenty minutes later, Francis came upstairs and saw Jax. "Where's Jason?"

"He left about twenty minutes ago." He said frowning.

"Shit."

Francis got on the phone. "Spinelli, I need you to hack into the hospital security footage. Jason is missing and he supposedly left twenty minutes ago."

"I'm on it." Spinelli said.

Francis then called Cody. "I think Sam has Jason. Get some more men to the Towers and then go inside with Elizabeth."

"Okay."

Jax looked at him. "He probably traded himself."

"I know. She holds all the cards right now."

Mac walked up. "How is Ms. Jameson?"

Jax gave him and update and then told him about Jason.

Mac made some calls. "If you hear anything, you need to call me." He said handing Francis a card.

"I will."

Francis made the one call he hated the most.

"Hello?"

"Edward it's Francis."

Edward could hear the strain in his voice. "What's wrong?"

"Jason is in trouble. We think Sam McCall kidnapped him." Francis said.

Edward muttered something Francis couldn't understand.

"She had Miranda stabbed. I'm at the hospital. She'll be okay but she'll probably have to stay here for a day or two. Jax is with her."

"Damn. You keep me updated and makes sure there are guards on everyone." Edward said firmly.

"I will sir."

Edward turned and his family was staring at him waiting to find out what was going on.

"Grandfather, what's wrong?" Emily asked.

"It's Jason. Sam McCall may have kidnapped him. He's missing."

Tracy gasped.

"Oh my God." Emily said. "Where is Elizabeth?"

"I don't know. I assume she's being protected."

Emily grabbed her purse and was going to head to Elizabeth's apartment.

Tracy stood up and blocked her path. "You are not going anywhere. Jason would not want you to put yourself in danger. It's bad enough he's in trouble but we don't need you to get taken too."

Emily was pissed at first but then she knew Tracy was right. "Okay, I won't go." She said before pulling out her phone and calling Liz.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Liz answered her phone. "Hello?"

"Are you okay? I just heard about Jason."

"I'm okay. I'm at his house. Did something happen?" Liz asked standing up.

"You don't know?"

Liz's heart started to race. "What's going on Emily? Is he hurt?"

"We don't know. They think Sam kidnapped him."

Elizabeth gasped and plopped back down onto the couch. "Oh God. She'll kill him Emily. We have to find him."

"Francis and the police are working on it. Jason is smart. He'll get himself out of this." Emily said firmly.

"I can't lose him Emily." She said tearfully.

Emily took a deep breath. "You really want him now?"

"I think I have for a while. He kissed me before he left. It was a taking a big chance on his part but Emily, there is no doubt in my mind that I need to give Jason a chance. I want to take the risk and now it might not happen."

"We have to have faith. Don't give up on him." Emily said.

"Okay."

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Danny pushed Jason into a room in some abandoned building. He sat down in a chair and waited to see what Sam's next move would be. He just hoped that she'd keep her word and wouldn't hurt anyone else he cared about.

The door opened and she came inside carrying a gun.

"What are you going to do?" He asked.

"You're going to marry me."

Jason laughed. "Seriously?"

"Yes, and then we'll consummate the marriage." She said smiling.

"You're going to jail."

Sam shrugged. "So."

"I'm not sure I understand what the purpose would be." Jason said.

"Well, it would destroy Elizabeth and I'd get what I've always wanted—you and that big dick of yours. I really hope that rumor is true by the way. And I know it will torture you as well. Edward will have a cow. So, I would say it's a win all the way around." She said smugly. "And when you have a little accident, I'll have a shitload of money waiting for me when I get out."

Jason rolled his eyes. "Well at least that part was predictable but I'm not marrying you or sleeping with you." He said firmly.

"We'll see about that."

She lifted the gun in her hand and Jason started to protest. Sam smiled and shot him.

Jason closed his eyes and recoiled and then when he didn't feel a lot of pain, he frowned and looked at his arm and pulled the dart out. "What did you do?"

"I just gave you a little something to help you relax." She said grinning.

Jason's mouth dropped open. He knew he was in trouble.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Spinelli called Francis. "It was Sam McCall. It's on the security tape. I also hacked into the traffic signals and I spotted her on Rt. 38, about 20 minutes away."

"Good job Spinelli. What's in that area?"

"Uh, there's some homes and some rundown buildings."

"I'll check them out." Francis said hanging up. He quickly called Mac and they agreed to meet at a gas station close to the area.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

By the time Francis got there, Mac had already arrived and there were four other police cars as well.

"We did spot some movement in an abandoned warehouse nearby. I have two cars down the street from it."

"He could be hurt." Francis said.

"I have a bus on the way." Mac replied. "Francis, I need you to stay in my car."

Francis understood. He was just glad that Mac had agreed to let him tag along. "Okay."

"Let's move out." Mac said.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Sam smiled at Jason and moved closer. "How are you feeling?"

Jason tried to focus but it was hard to do. When he tried to speak his words came out slurred.

"Perfect." She said straddling him. She took a minute to look at his face and run her fingers through his hair. "You are a beautiful man." She said softly before kissing him.

Jason jerked back. "Elizabeth."

Sam smacked him. "Do not say that bitch's name in front of me or I swear I will kill her."

She got up just as Danny came inside pushing Father Coates in front of him.

"Jason." The priest said. "Are you alright?"

Jason couldn't answer him. The room had started to spin and he was having trouble keeping his eyes open.

"What did you do to him?"

Sam smiled. "That's none of your concern." She said sitting on Jason's lap. "Marry us now or you die." She demanded.

Father Coates crossed himself and nervously began.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Mac and his men made their way through the building and burst into the room as Sam was reciting her vows.

Danny raised his gun and Mac shot him as Father Coates dove to the floor.

Sam screamed and pulled out her gun and held it to Jason's head.

"Sam, you don't want to do that."

"Get out. Father, finish the damn ceremony or I swear to God I will shoot him." She yelled.

Mac looked at Jason. "Jason, can you hear me?" He asked loudly.

Jason's head was lopped forward and he didn't respond.

Sam shot her gun in the air and Jason jumped.

Father Coates got on his knees. "Jason, do you take Sam to be your wife?"

Jason tried to focus in on him and muttered. "Elizabeth."

Sam growled and hit him with the gun and Mac took the opening and shot her in the chest and she fell backwards; the gun clattered against the wall.

They rushed forward. Father Coates was struggling to hold Jason up. Mac and another officer laid him on the floor. "Tell the EMT's to come in."

Mac felt for a pulse. "It's weak but he's still with us."

The paramedics rushed inside with Francis trailing them. They came into the room and Francis watched them put an oxygen mask on Jason and a couple of police officers helped lift him onto the gurney.

"I'll have one of the officers take you to your car." Mac said to Francis.

He rushed out with Ronnie and made some phone calls along the way so the family would meet them at the hospital.

Sam and Danny were dead. And now there was nothing stopping Elizabeth and Jason from being together.
