Elizabeth walked up to the front door searching for the key Justice had given to her a few days before. She knew she would have to come back here eventually. If it had been up to her she'd have sold this hell hole the day her father died but, as part of his will she couldn't. She had to keep and maintain the property at least until her twenty-sixth birthday, the same time she could collect her trust fund. She knew that had been her uncles doing. He wasn't trying to hurt her, he just wanted to make sure she had somewhere safe to live until she could have access to the large fortune left to her. If only he knew. She found the key pulling it out and slipping it into the lock, she hesitate a moment before turning it and pushing the heavy door open. Quickly punching in the security code before the alarm went off. She flipped on the lights and glanced around the room it looked exactly the same as it had the day she left. She walked further inside to the living room where the furniture was all covered and in clean white cloths. The soft light from the foyer casting an eerie glow in the room .It was like walking through a horror movie. She didn't know why but she kept going not bothering to turn any more lights she new this place like the back of her hand, every piece of furniture, every doorway, every board or step that creaked. She paused at the door to the office flipping on the lights. It too was the same way she'd seen it last the polished hand carved desk, the locked file cabinet that was empty, her fathers associates had cleared it out before the police came. The only thing that was missing was her father, a file on his desk the phone in his hand and, a bullet hole in the middle of his forehead. That's the way she found him.
Flashback
She'd been so scared, unsure of what to do. She knew he was dead. There was no point in calling an ambulance. Any other sixteen year old girl would have reacted different to finding their fathers body, they probably would have screamed, called for help, called the police. But she knew better than to do that. She didn't scream or even cry she knew this day would eventually come but, she never saw it happening like this. The house was a fortrice, how did anyone get in, was it someone they'd trusted? As the thoughts raced through her head she did the only thing she could. She turned and left the room closing and locking the door behind her. She walked back upstairs to her room and called the only person she knew she could trust to help her.
She shook her head trying to erase the image. She didn't have time for this. Jason would be here soon. She knew he'd eventually figure out where she was. She closed the door softly just as she had ten years ago and quietly walked away. She paused at the backdoor before opening it and disappearing into the backyard. She thought of all the places she could go to hide out but, only one seemed right.
Penthouse:
The cab driver sat shaking. He wasn't stupid, he knew exactly who Sonny Corinthos and Jason Morgan were and what they did.
"You picked up a young woman out front about twenty minutes ago." Sonny questioned smiling trying to put the man at ease.
"Y..yes. I didn't do anything, I just picked her up and dropped her off." The man replied uneasily.
"Hey relax, we just want to know where you dropped her off." Sonny replied. The girl had given him a huge tip and he wasn't sure if he felt right telling these men where she was. But, he knew he wouldn't be leaving here till he did. He said a silent prayer hoping he wasn't going to get the girl hurt.
"She wanted to go to this huge mansion about ten minutes outside town. Um the address was 11 no wait 12 crescent place, I think." The cab driver replied.
"Thank you." Sonny replied despising him. He wasted no time bolting out the door.
"Why does that address sound familiar?" Jason asked. He knew that address, but from where he wondered.
"It's the Webber estate." Sonny replied.
"No, she wouldn't go there." Jason began. "She hasn't been there in ten years, she wouldn't go back now."
"But, apparently she did." Sonny reminded him.
"It doesn't make any sense." Jason began. "Unless it's just a diversion, she's trying to throw me off."
"Ok, you know her best. How do we find her?" Sonny asked.
"That's just it, I'm not sure we will." Jason replied.
"So we wait for her to come to us." Sonny asked.
"I'm going to head over there and check the place out. If she calls tell her...." Jason began.
"Don't worry, I will." Sonny replied. "Take Johnny with you." He added as Jason reached the door. Jason threw him a questioning look but nodded as he closed the door.
Elsewhere:
Liz quietly tapped on the window trying to wake the rooms occupant up without alerting anyone else. He walked over to the window confused but opened it seeing Liz outside.
"Elisabeth?" He questioned.
"Please I need your help." She begged.
He held out his hand helping her inside. Then quietly closed the window behind her.
