A/N – Of course I left my flash drive with the stories on it at work and I can't get it until Tuesday. I had re-written the next few chapters so now I have to try and remember what I did. That flash drive and my memory are going to be the end of me. Anyway, I'll do my best. Thanks for the reviews and the typo notification! I read that chapter at least 4 times and didn't catch that. I'll review what I had written before and if I miss something major I'll repost the chapters on Tuesday and let you guys know.
Chapter 51 – A New Adversary
Johnny walked along the waterfront and sat down on a bench. There was some big crisis at the warehouse so his guard had left him alone. He didn't even hear Trevor walk up to him.
"Well look who it is." Trevor said smiling.
Johnny looked up at him. "What's a piece of shit like you doing in a place like this?"
"I'd watch your tongue if I were you. You and your sister really need to learn some respect."
"What do you want Trevor? I'm sick of your voice already."
"Everything. I want you and your sister to step aside, and I want the business."
Johnny stood up. "You know that I don't give a shit about the business. What is this really about?"
"What you and your sister did to your father was beyond disgusting; after all he did for you."
"Are you fucking high? He was responsible for Claudia getting raped and he killed my moth….grandmother."
"Oh, you know."
"Yes, I know."
"Just because your slut of a sister got herself knocked up…."
Johnny decked him. Trevor stumbled backwards and grabbed his jaw. "That was the last mistake you'll ever make."
Trevor pulled out a gun and they struggled for a minute. The gun fired and they both were still and just stared at each other.
Johnny gasped and stumbled back and then fell to the ground. Trevor smiled and threw the gun in the water and ran.
Johnny lay there bleeding. He was shot in the side. He tried to crawl over to his phone which had fallen when they were struggling. But, he was in so much pain that he couldn't quite reach it. He was losing a lot of blood.
He thought about Claudia. He knew that if he died she'd have no one. He felt the tears stream down his face as his body started to feel numb. He began to shiver because he was really cold. It was like he was disconnecting from himself. And then he started to go in and out of consciousness as he thought he saw someone walk towards him.
"Oh my God, Johnny." Georgie yelled. "Who did this to you?"
Johnny tried to focus on her and talk but he passed out.
Georgie grabbed her phone and called 911. She held him and talked to him as someone ran up behind her.
"What happened?"
It was Johnny's guard.
"I don't know." She cried.
The guard grabbed Johnny's phone and put it in his pocket and then called Jason.
Jason was sitting on the couch with Liz when he heard his phone.
"Yeah, what's up?"
Liz saw the look on his face.
"Is the ambulance there?"
"Yes, it just got here."
"Ok, I'm on the way."
"What's wrong?"
"Johnny's been shot."
Liz gasped. "I'm coming with you."
"No, please stay here and rest."
"No, I'm coming with you. If someone shot Johnny, he could be after any one of us. I want to be with you."
He saw the tears in her eyes and couldn't say no. "Alright, get your shoes on."
He called Shawn to tell him to meet them at the hospital and then he held Liz close all the way there.

Georgie sat in the waiting room. She had Johnny's blood all over her. Jason and Liz walked up to her and he kneeled down in front of her. "Georgie, what happened?"
She told him what happened as she cried. She was so scared. Liz went over to the nurse's desk. "Epiphany, Georgie is covered in blood. Is there somewhere I can get her cleaned up?"
Epiphany nodded. "Follow me."
"Georgie." Liz yelled.
Georgie walked over to them.
"Come on, let's get you cleaned up."
They went into a little room and Epiphany got some soap and some scrubs for her.
Liz helped her get the blood off her hands and arms. Once they got her as clean as they possibly could, Epiphany handed Georgie the scrubs. She put them on and then they went back to the waiting room. Liz looked around but didn't see Jason and wondered where he was.
"It's going to be okay. Johnny is really tough."
Georgie tried to be positive. Her dad came running from the elevator.
"Georgie," he said grabbing her, "are you alright?"
She nodded. She told him what happened and Mac sat back in the chair.
"I told you that I don't want you walking around on the docks, it's dangerous."
"Really, you're going to lecture me now?"
"I'm sorry but when I got that call….."
He stopped because Georgie was staring at Liz. Mac turned and looked at her too.
For some reason, Georgie thought she might be sick, and she grabbed the trash can next to her and handed it over. Liz threw up and Epiphany, who had seen the whole thing, ran over and handed her a tissue.
"Are you alright?" Mac said concerned.
"Morning sickness."
Mac and Georgie smiled.
Suddenly, Claudia came running up to them. "I got here as soon as I could. Where is he?"
Liz noticed the tall man standing next to her and figured it was Lorenzo.
"He's in surgery."
"Where was he shot?"
"In his side."
She noticed Liz looked really pale.
"Are you alright?" She asked to Liz.
"Morning sickness"
She fished in her purse and gave her some crackers. "From lunch…"
"Thanks"
"Liz this is Lorenzo."
Liz shook his hand.
Mac stood up. "I think I should take you home."
Georgie protested. "No, I have to stay and make sure he's alright."
Liz smiled at Georgie and put her cell phone in her hand. "Put your number in my phone and I'll call you as soon as I know anything."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
Mac mouthed 'thank you' to Liz.
Once they were gone, Jason walked up. "Lorenzo…Claudia…"
"Hi, any word?"
Jason shook his head no.
"What's wrong with your neck?"
Claudia put her hand over her neck. She knew Trevor was the last thing that Jason needed to worry about.
"She had a little run in with Trevor." Lorenzo said.
"Trevor?"
Jason sighed. "Do you think he was the one that tried to kill Johnny?"
They all were lost in thought when Shawn walked up to them and started to say something but suddenly, the lights went out and they were all surrounded by darkness.
