Chapter 21: Fight on the island

"Are you ready?" asked Alexis as she Jason and Alicia walked into the abandoned fortress. "We have one shot at for this to work."

"Let's do this." said Jason pulling out his gun. "And Ali don't you even think of double crossing us."

"You have me convinced." said Ali. "If you don't kill me Valentin will."

"Quiet, somebody's coming." said Jason as they heard footsteps approaching. "We're no use to Sam dead." Jason hid long enough to grab Talia the servant girl from behind. "One word and you won't live to regret it." said Jason covering her mouth as they moved into the side room. "Promise you won't scream and I'll let you go. Who are you and where is your boss."

"I am Talia, Mr. Cassadine hired me to take care of the woman here." said Talia in broken English. "Please don't hurt me."

"We don't have a reason to hurt you." said Alexis feeling like a true Cassadine for one of the first times in her life. "Just tell us where Valentin is."

"Wait Alexis, we might be on to something." said Jason processing what Talia had just said. "This woman, is she about 5 foot 4, dark hair with brown eyes."

"Yes she was determined that needed no tending to." said Talia. "Mr. Cassadine says she's deeply troubled."

"That's Sam." said Jason. "Please I'm her fiancé tell me where she is so I can bring her home."

"She can't go anywhere." said Talia. "She must receive treatment."

"What do you mean treatment?" shrieked Alexis at the top of her lungs. "What is Valentin doing to my daughter?"

"Shh, keep it down Alexis, do you want this whole island to hear you?" said Jason the door behind them suddenly opened and they saw a block headed guard. As he shouted that there were intruders Jason shot him dead. "Well they know now."

~In the lab where Sam was being held~

"What was that?" asked Valentin to himself then turned to Caleb. "I'll go take a look, stay here with her until I return?"

"I can't go another minute without Olivia." said Caleb staring at Sam who was once again handcuffed to a chair. "You have already ran the machine and produced the serum why don't you use it now?"

"If given incorrectly she could die." said Valentin. "You being too eager to have your love returned could be the reason you lose her forever. Don't do anything with the serum without my instructions."

"It won't be long now my love." said Caleb when Valentin left, his hand stroking Sam's shoulder. "Soon you will return to me fully, and we will have the life I promised you. Very soon Olivia you will remember a greater love than anything else you ever dreamed of."

"My name is not Olivia for the millionth time." said Sam skin crawling at his touch. The odds were slim to none, but Sam still hoped that Jason and Alexis were the unwelcome guests, that what Lila had said was right and she was supposed to be saved. "But you are right about one thing, I'm close to being with the love of my life again."

~Meanwhile with Jason Alexis and Ali~

Jason Alexis and Ali were now far from the dead guard, were hiding in a small room. After checking that the coast was clear they re-entered the corridor. "Now what do we do?" asked Jason. "How much do you know about the layout of this place?"

"Honestly not very much, I was confined to Greece until I was sent to school." said Alexis looking around slightly desperately. "Sam could be captive anywhere on this island."

"You're right about that Natasha." said Valentin as he appeared. "It's good to finally meet you sister, the last of Mikkos's children left standing. And you must be my niece's fiancé Jason Morgan, Sam was right that it wasn't her at your wedding. Hello Alicia."

"Where is she?" said Jason, gun raised pointing at Valentin. "I don't know what this grudge is and I really don't care, tell me where Sam McCall is."

"She didn't exaggerate, Sam was determined that you would know where to look for her." said Valentin grinning. "I'm you're too late my plan is already in motion, there's nothing you can do to help her now."

"If you're dead, Sam will be safe." said Jason aiming the gun square at his chest. "Why shouldn't I just kill you now?"

"If you do Sam will be in greater trouble." said Valentin, back against the wall.

"What does that mean?" growled Jason. "Tell me what you've done to her."

"There's a lab one floor down." said Valentin out of self-preservation. "Third door on the right.

"Alexis you got this taken care of?" asked Jason backing away slowly. "The sooner I find her the sooner this whole thing ends."

"I can handle my brother." said Alexis revealing a knife. "Go get to Sam."

~I'm the lab with Sam and Caleb~

"I truly do hate doing what must be done." said Caleb walking to the second door in the shadows. "It's the only way to return you to who you really are."

"Where are you going?" asked Sam as Caleb opened up the door. "Valentin told you to stay here until he comes back."

"I don't take orders from Valentin or anybody else." said Caleb. "I must get something before you return to me."

"I won't be here when you get back." said Sam, trying to work a small piece of wire into the lock of the handcuff. She had almost gotten it when she heard footsteps approach the door Valentin walked out of, the door swung open and to her relief she saw Jason standing there. "Jason, you have no idea how glad I am to see you."

"Sam, thank god, are you ok?" asked Jason rushing toward Sam and helping release her. "Sam I was so scared that I was too late getting here."

"No Jason I'm, I'm alright." said Sam, wrapping her arms around Sam the instant she was able to. "How did you find me? I was so worried, with Alicia and everything?"

"What that I wouldn't notice the difference between you and that clone sent to be you." said Jason his arms tight around Sam. "Don't worry I saw through her before she could do any damage with your life. I realized what was going on when I was in the middle of my vows."

"I'm so sorry Jason that was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives." said Sam tear falling from her eyes as quickly as they formed. "And I wasn't there."

"Hey don't do that to yourself, you didn't ask for this." said Jason rubbing her back softly. "We'll take care that when we get back to Port Charles."

"Going home sounds like heaven." said Sam taking a deep breath assuring herself this was real. "There has been some really messed up stuff going on around here."

"We'll talk about that on the jet, Alexis should be waiting for us." said Jason. "Come on; let's get you out of here?"

"You're not taking her anywhere."
