Emotions were something that were better kept hidden cause when they surfaced, it usually compromised decisions and actions. It was exactly how Jason felt at the moment while he stood on Pier 52 late that night. As much as he tried to kept his emotions hidden, something seemed to happen to cause them to reappear. He closed his eyes trying to just push the anger away. Anger seemed to be the emotion that usually got the best of him.
The mob enforcer closed his eyes letting the cold air relax him. He needed to make sure his head was clear for what he was about to do next. The plan had to go perfectly, no hiccups, no mistakes. He knew that even though the people responsible for everything that had happened over the past year were dead, he felt like part of this was his fault. Maybe if he just killed Anthony so long ago when he had the chance, Ally wouldn't have had to deal with what she was dealing with now.
"Boss," a voice spoke quietly as the man approached.
Jason looked over his shoulder once before facing his employee.
"Hey, Max..."
"So I got a list of the hospital staff that will be working the day of Mr. Torres' release," he informed him, handing him a sheet of paper.
Jason took a few to look over the names. To do what he wanted, he needed to make sure there were people on his payroll working that day.
"Garth and Lani," he read out loud. "Can you make sure they get put on Luis that day?" Jason asked looking up at the well-dressed guard.
Max nodded, "It's already been set up. And Stan set up the people we have working at the police station are schedule to pick him up to take to the Port Charles Police Department."
Jason smiled slightly folding the piece of paper and placing it into his pocket. "Good." He rubbed his hands together just once to warm them up before speaking once more. "It will look like an accident right?"
"Yes, sir. It will look like he is trying to escape and then..." Max didn't speak what Jason already knew. "Miss Lynn will never have to worry about that man hurting her again. You have my word on that."
Jason nodded, "You've never let me down ever, Max. I don't expect you to do it now." His eyes scanned the area making sure to keep their conversation between them. He knew that there was no one around, it was an instinct, but surveying his surrounding was too. "Nothing will be able to be traced back to us?"
"No, sir. In fact, Mr. Corinthos and you need to make sure that you are in the public eye, so they know that you two aren't the ones that made the hit directly. You know especially what happened at the hospital," Max added.
Jason looked down biting his lip as he thought back to that moment in the hospital. If Mac and Patrick hadn't been there, he was sure Luis would already be dead. He knew that meant that he probably would be sitting in a jail cell. He was not thinking clearly that day and it was something that he needed to work on. He should have been working on this problem a while ago. He was grateful that he hadn't gotten him in trouble.
"I will make sure that Sonny and I have alibis but that goes for you and Milo as well. I mean, Milo is still recovering, so he will be with Epiphany, so you need to make sure you're in public or will Diane," the hit man instructed.
"I will make sure of it, but if I'm not with you or Mr. C, who will be guarding you?"
"We have new people to do that. Plus...I don't need guards," Jason shrugged pulling his jacket tightly around his body.
Max just nodded knowing that Jason didn't really need anything from him. Jason was his own protection, his own guard. Everyone in Port Charles that had half of brain knew to leave Jason Morgan alone. They knew what would happen to them if they didn't. That man was a weapon alone, so making a move on him or anyone close to him usually meant your death.
"Is Miss Ally truly going to be okay?" Max asked his boss genuinely concerned.
Jason frowned for a second, but realized in that moment that Max was the one that experienced Ally's breakdown first hand.
"She will be when this is finished. She talked about maybe seeing someone to help deal with the traumatic stuff, but..." Jason sighed. "I didn't get a chance to thank you for everything you did for her earlier today. That was beyond anything you have ever had to do for me."
Max just nodded, cause there really wasn't anything to say to that. Jason hardly ever spoke words of affirmation of any kind to the people that he cared about, saying something like that to him meant a lot.
"I'm glad she is doing better," Max said.
Jason nodded, "Yeah...look I have to get back to the penthouse. Keep me updated on the progress of this."
"Will do, Boss," the guard was able to say before Jason walked off.
It was getting late so Jason needed to get back to the penthouse to make sure Ally didn't go sleep alone. With it being her first night back home, he figured it might be difficult for her. He didn't want anything else to be hard for her. He already knew that she would probably deal with nightmares most of the night. He just didn't want falling asleep to be a task for her.
Arriving back at the penthouse, he found it extremely quiet. A guard had told him the nurse and Patrick had come and gone around eight and there hadn't been any visitors since. He was just closing the door to his closet when he heard shuffling behind him. He turned to find Maxie around the corner about to walk up the stairs.
"Well, good to see you're finally home," she expressed with a little bit of sarcasm.
Jason scoffed, "I had to take care of a little something, not that it's any of your business."
"Whatever..." she sighed taking a few steps before turning back towards him. "Late nights are probably not a good idea for the next few days."
Jason glared as the blonde disappeared up the stairs. He wanted to tell her to mind her business, but lately things that she had said to him actually seemed to sink in. He knew him gone late right after Ally getting home probably wasn't the best. He groaned at just how much he hated Maxie for being right.
Jason checked one last time making sure the penthouse was secure before heading upstairs for the night. Entering his room, he frowned at the candles lit on his dressers. He wasn't sure where they came from cause truthfully he didn't know he owned any. The music playing reminded him of what he heard the first time he walked into his place finding Ally. He smiled slightly at the memory.
His eyes traveled to the bed where the girl he loved laid under the sheets reading a book. Her hair was pulled up into a messy bun on top her hair, while her body was draped with what looked like one of his t-shirts. He took a second to just admire her.
"What?" she asked looking up from her book.
"Nothing..." he whispered kicking off his boots. "It's just that..." He wasn't really sure how to put into words what he was feeling. He wondered if there was really words that could express what he was look at that very moment. "This right here...walking into my room and seeing you there...waiting for me..." He still couldn't find the right words to speak.
Ally slowly closed her book, just looking at him. She could tell that he was at a lost for words and truthfully she knew what he meant. The moment he walked into the room and looked at her, she felt something. Something strange, but it was good.
Deciding to just leave the subject alone for the moment, he placed his boots beside his dresser before turning towards her. "How was the rest of your night?" he asked pulling off his shirt.
Ally licked her lips as she watched his shirt hit the floor, then his jeans joining seconds later. She tried to catch her breathe as he walked towards the bed in just his boxers.
"Its was okay. Patrick...um...said that everything looked good…really good," she trailed off while her eyes raked over Jason's body as he climbed into bed next to her.
Jason chuckled at her words. "Is that so?" She nodded. "Well what else did Patrick say?" he asked placing a single arm around her, slowly pulling her towards him.
"That...I, um...need to get lots and lots of rest," she mumbled as her body met his.
"Well, that means you need to spend a lot of time in bed," he smirked, lifting her chin so she would look at him.
"Yeah, but...not the kind of rest you are thinking off," she giggled.
"Not right now," he commented just before his lips touched hers.
"You think it's a good idea for me to be sleeping in here?" she asked against his lips, her fingers danced down the skin of his arm.
"I think it's a great idea," he answered gently pulling her body closer to him.
Ally let him kiss her some more before speaking, "I agree it's a good idea. I love sleeping in your arms, but..."
Jason pulled away when she spoke the last word. He knew what she meant by that. It was torture to lay next to her and not be with her. He was feeling it and he was sure she was feeling it as well. But he rather feel the agony of not being with her than to not have her next to him.
"I love you," he whispered pushing a strand of hair out of her face.
"I love you too," she said back.
"I know this is going to be hard for us, but I don't want you anywhere else but here with me," he expressed rolling slowly to his back.
Ally placed her head on his chest and smiled, "It will be hard, but I don't want to be anywhere else. I'm feel safe when I'm right her.
The enforcer let his hand move up and down her back slowly all the while feeling her body relax against his. He sighed closing his eyes. "Good night," he spoke into hair.
Ally responded with a soft mumble that weren't really words. The moment Ally's eyes closed they didn't open till the next morning. All the nightmares seemed to have disappeared that night. It didn't mean they didn't appear other nights, but with Jason by her side during all the turmoil, she knew that she could get through anything.
Author's Notes: Two chapters in one day...I feel accomplished. It might a while till I post again cause I think the next time I post there will be a time jump. Don't worry I haven't forgot about Luis. He will be taken care of. He will be dealt with the Morgan way...there just might be a few bumps along the way. Don't worry, Ally is save for a while. A new character will be added to the mix in a few chapters and there will be some wedding planning as well. Hope you all enjoy this. I LOVE YOU ALL!
