A/N – Thanks for the reviews! 1st, early on I said that Skye did not fight for Lorenzo. They are not together. 2nd Lorenzo has a crush on Elizabeth but he made it clear in the last chapter that he wouldn't do anything about it.

Chapter 25 – Change of Plans

They all sat down to eat breakfast together.

"You two look like you got a great night's sleep." Claudia said smirking.

Elizabeth grinned. "Oh, we did."

John gave them both a look. "Before this goes into TMI territory, why don't we talk about when we are blowing this pop stand?"

Anna walked into the room. "I'm afraid, that may not be possible."

Elizabeth frowned. "Anna? What's going on?"

"Jerry has poisoned the water supply in Port Charles. He's withholding the cure until he gets 1 billion dollars."

No one said a word so she continued. "People are starting to get sick. I'm afraid we're talking a mass epidemic here and it will affect all the people you love."

Claudia cursed under her breath and drove her knife into the table. "I've had enough of that little shit."

They all heard gunfire erupt outside. Jason grabbed Elizabeth and went to run when someone yelled freeze.

Anna stood in front of Liz and they all waited to see who was going to walk into the room.

"Oh….my…..God…" Anna said incredulously.

Cesar walked into the room. "Well, look who it is. You are still so beautiful Anna. In fact, I think you get better with age."

Anna clenched her jaw. "What are you doing here?"

He ignored her and looked around the room. "Britta, I can't believe that you are hanging out with the people responsible for your mother's death."

"What are you talking about?" Britta asked. "They didn't kill her."

Cesar growled. "Now you are lying for them too? Have you no shame?" He yelled.

John pushed Britt behind him.

"I guess chivalry isn't dead."

"It's not but you will be if you hurt her." John said firmly.

Cesar chuckled. "It looks like you've found yourself a boy toy."

"Father, what do you want?"

"I want Jason Morgan to pay for killing your mother."

"Are you deaf? He didn't kill him."

"Well if he didn't who did?"

"His name is Jerry Jacks. He's the one that recruited mother to help him."

Cesar looked around the room. "I am painfully aware of who he is and what he is capable of. Where is he?"

Anna cleared her throat. "He's in Port Charles, NY."

"Are you crazy?" Jason whispered in her ear.

"Trust me." Anna said softly.

Cesar smiled. "Interesting, why did you offer that information so readily?"

Anna shrugged. "I just want you out of here."

"Well, I'm afraid that our reunion is far from over. You're coming with me and we'll go to Port Charles together."

Anna felt Liz touch her back. "I'm not going back there. Everyone is sick and unlike you, I don't have a death wish."

"Sick with what?"

"Jerry poisoned the water." Britt added.

Cesar paused to think. "He stole that from my lab."

"You are responsible for the poison?"

Cesar nodded.

"Then you have the cure too, don't you?" Anna asked.

Cesar smiled. "Come with me to Port Charles and I will make sure you get the cure. You can save a lot of people Anna and I can avenge Liesl's death."

Anna turned around and looked at Elizabeth. "I'm going with him."

"Are you crazy?" Liz asked.

"Elizabeth, people are going to need that cure. Jerry will have no bargaining chip without it. I want you guys to stay here. You're pregnant and Jason is still weak."

"You're not going alone." Claudia said walking over to her. "I'm going with you."

Anna was shocked.

Cesar smirked. "I'm sorry but you are not invited."

"How do we know that you won't hurt her?" Elizabeth asked.

"You don't."

Anna rolled her eyes. "Oh please, if anyone is going to get hurt, it's you old man."

Cesar laughed heartily. "Let's go Anna. We are wasting precious time."

Anna walked past Cesar and his guards kept their guns on everyone until he was safely out of the house.

The door shut after the last one and Jason put his head in his hands.

"I'm going to Port Charles. I want to help bring Jerry down; the more people gunning for him the better." Claudia said.

"I'm in." Johnny said.

"I think the rest of you should stay here. You're pregnant Elizabeth. It's safer here. Besides, Jason needs more time to heal." Claudia added.

"She's right." John said.

"My father is dangerous. The only good thing that will come out of this is that my father won't stop until Jerry is dead." Britt said. "We can't even be sure that he's telling the truth about the cure. It wouldn't be the first time that he lied."

Claudia's phone rang. "Hello?"

"Claudia, it's Lorenzo."

"Lorenzo? What's wrong?"

"Jerry Jacks."

Claudia sat down. "Can I put you on speaker?"

Lorenzo frowned. "That depends."

"Trust me."

"Fine."

Claudia put him on speaker. "Go ahead. What did Jerry do now?"

"He's trying to blackmail me."

"How?"

"I help him get Jason, he won't hurt Skye and Lila. He said he wanted Jason and money."

They all looked at each other.

"Don't take a shower or come in any contact with any public water supply; not even to brush your teeth." Britt said.

Lorenzo sighed. "I already took a shower and brushed my teeth."

"You need to get the word out to people to warn them."

Lorenzo shut his eyes for a moment. "I will. If Jason is with you Claudia, he needs to take Elizabeth and hide. Jerry knows they are in Switzerland."

Jason and Elizabeth looked at each other.

"We'll get them moved. Johnny and I are on the next plane out."

"Call me when you get to the airport."

Claudia ended the call. "Jerry is too busy to come after Jason right now. That is why he tried to get help. Lorenzo isn't going to bite so that will buy us some time. You 4 need to disappear, some place where no one would think to look for you. It can't be anywhere related to either business."

Jason thought for a moment. "I'll take care of it. Spinelli will stay with us too."

Claudia nodded and looked over at Johnny. "Let's go."

Britt looked over at Jason. "Where are we going?"

"Anna already gave me a place to go. No one will look for us there. I just have to make a phone call." Elizabeth said. "I'll go pack and make the call."

Britt went with her and John, Spinelli, and Jason were left alone.

"So, you want to fill us in?" John asked.

Jason nodded. "Anna told Elizabeth to go to Hungary. We're going to a castle called Vadzel. Count Andrassy is not there at the moment but Anna assured her that there is staff there and we just have to make a call and they will make sure they are ready for us."

"Are we driving?" Johnny asked.

"No, we'll take a small plane. Cody has his license." He looked over at Cody who went to make arrangements.

"Do they have wifi?" Spinelli asked.

Jason smiled. "I don't know."

"I don't think I've ever been to a castle before." Spinelli said.

"White castle doesn't count." A smiling Cody said coming into the room. "We're leaving in an hour. So, get everything packed and ready."

Jason stood up slowly. He was glad that Anna had made sure that Elizabeth and the baby would be taken care of. He just hoped that everyone in Port Charles wouldn't end up dying because of stupid Jerry. Alan was still recovering and Jason was worried that his body wouldn't be able to handle the toxin.

Emily walked into her parent's bedroom. "Mom?"

Monica sat up. "What's wrong?"

"Johnny O'Brien just called. Apparently, the toxin is in the county water supply. We shouldn't brush our teeth or shower."

Monica frowned. "Then it's too late."

"Did dad?"

Monica shook her head no. "He's been pretty much in and out of sleep since he got home. But, he did go to the bathroom a few times. He probably washed his hands."

"Let's just hope that it's not enough to expose him." She said sitting on the bed.

"This is going to be really bad isn't it?"

"Yes. People will start getting really sick; flu symptoms. They'll get weaker and weaker and it will eventually kill them."

Monica sighed. "Please tell me that Jason and Elizabeth didn't come back."

"They are still in Europe. Johnny wouldn't tell me where; just that they are safe."

"Thank God."

"I'm so scared." Emily said softly.

Monica gave her a hug.

"They are going to need us at the hospital."

"I know but I don't think that I can leave your father."

"Don't. Stay here and take care of our family. I'll go."

Monica squeezed her one last time. "Be careful Emily. I love you."

"I love you too mom."

Monica watched her leave. She was so proud of her. Turning towards Alan, she laid back down and snuggled into his side. None of them would go down without a fight.
