--Chapter 7
Elizabeth awoke with a start to Emily screaming.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh, Elizabeth HELP!!!!!!" she was screaming at the top of her lungs when she saw the two men climbing on the outside of the freight car.
"Emily what's going on? What's wrong?" Elizabeth asked shacking Emily by the shoulders as she pointed outside. Elizabeth bent over and peaked out the corner of the car. When she saw the two big burley men climbing on the car behind theirs she gasped.
"Elizabeth what are we going to do?"
"Ssshh." Elizabeth whispered while walked over to the end of the car and peaked outside again looking for the two men. But she only saw one. "Oh god Emily get down now!" Elizabeth screamed just before a hail of bullets came from the ceiling. Emily was screaming and it was becoming too hard to concentrate on the man on the roof of the car.
Elizabeth crawled over to where Emily was curled up on the floor. "Em please be quiet." Elizabeth whispered in Emily's ear. Emily immediately stopped screaming.
Elizabeth stood completely still. She could hear the man up on the roof walking around trying to listen to if there was still anyone left alive. Elizabeth looked over at Emily and motioned for her to continue to be quiet. She walked over and leaned out the door again and to her dismay the man on the other car was gone now too. She held her breath and listen again to the man on the roof. He heard him again move and then saw his shadow on the floor. She could kill him if she wanted but then that would alert the other man that someone was still alive. Then she heard the most beautiful sound in the world.
"Hell no I'm not going down there to check. I almost killed myself climbing across this train in the first place. I just want to get off." One man yelled.
"You'll go down there if and when I say you go down there, understand?" The other man said.
Elizabeth held in a giggle they were standing next to each other up there and they were both going to die. She looked at back at Emily who was staring at her and aimed her gun that she took from the motel at the ceiling.
"Come man. You put, what a good 48 bullets in there. They're dead man, no one could surv…."
BANG BANG BANG BANG.

Jason looked down at his watch for the third time in 10 minutes. He cursed under his breath. The waiting was killing him they had been in the air for 3 hours and had one more to go before they landed in Denver, which was an hour drive away from Colorado Springs. They gonna have a good 6 hours to check out the town see if they're any of Roscoe's men there. Jason was getting a bad feeling in his gut and it was getting worse by the minute.
"How's it going Jason?" Sonny asked sitting down next to him.
"I don't know how to answer that man. My sister and Elizabeth are out there in danger. Roscoe wants Elizabeth bad Sonny and if he gets to her before I do…"
"Don't even think about finishing that thought nothing is going to happen to either one of them."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Easy look over there." Sonny said pointing to Zander, Alexis, and Stephan sitting at the table talking.
"What about it."
"That's my son Jason. MY SON. And Elizabeth is MY DAUGHTER and nothing will happen to them."
"How can you say that? You don't control everything. You don't know everything."
"You're right I don't know or control everything, but I do know one thing and that's that I have a daughter and son. My daughter is in love with a man a consider my son and my son's totally in love with my ex-wife and their both happy, really happy. To top it off I'm getting along with Stephan and Carly. And I'm in love with the best woman I have ever met." Sonny said looking at Alexis. "No god is that cruel and vicious that he would take the people who are supposed to make me happy the first time I'm actually am happy."
Sonny knew that he for once had to be the voice of reason Jason was to far gone worrying about Elizabeth and Emily to be the one holding everything together.
"Well you have more faith than I do. It feels like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop."
"Jason you're just worried about Emily and Elizabeth. They'll be fine as long as Roscoe's men stay…."
"Boss." Johnny said rushing into the room.
"What Johnny?"
"You- you need to hear this." He said giving Sonny the cell phone.
"Corinthos."
"Sonny."
"Hey Benny what's up?"
"Boss I just heard from a contact we have in Kansas. They said the police just found two men on the freight lines out there. They were each shot twice and pretty tore up from falling out of the train."
The smile Sonny was wearing quickly vanished when Benny had told him about the two men.
"Is there any doubt from our informant that it's Roscoe's men."
"No doubt sir it's two of his enforcers."
"Thanks Benny I'll call you back."
Sonny hung up the phone to find almost everyone standing around him listen to what Sonny and Benny were talking about.
"Sonny want happened?" Alexis asked almost afraid of what he was going to say.
"Two of Roscoe's enforcers were found on the train tracks in a town in Kansas. They were shot twice and then fell or threw off the train." Sonny solemnly replied.
"Two, they killed two more of them?" Jason asked.

Elizabeth was thanking god for the peace and quiet she had been experiencing for the last 2 hours. Emily had pass out after seeing Roscoe's two enforcers that Elizabeth shot fall off the roof of the train and tumbled onto the tracks. Elizabeth just stood there and watched while their bodies were broken and ripped apart by the force of them hitting the ground. She'd made sure Emily was lying comfortable before going and sitting in the doorway of the car with her feet hanging out of the train watching the sun set.
In that time waiting for Emily to wake up Elizabeth thought on how she was going to get herself and Emily out of the mess she'd created. She didn't want Jason or Sonny involved but it looked like it didn't matter what she wanted Emily was in danger and because of that danger she'd had killed four men one in cold blooded murder and Emily had killed two. She needed to get Em away from this as soon as possible and the only way to do that was by calling Jason.
Elizabeth looked down at Emily's phone she'd been holding for the past hour since she'd decided that she would call him. All she had to do now was turn it on and call, but what would she say? She didn't know but time was wasting and who knew when the next time Roscoe's men would show up. They had come in contact with six men so far including Roscoe's right hand man and had taken them all out. But Elizabeth was getting the feeling the next time she meet up with Roscoe's men it wouldn't come out as good as it did before and that's what was stopping her from calling them. If she arranged two meet them Roscoe would have the prefect opportunity to take out Sonny, Jason, Emily, her, and anyone else that was with them out and she didn't want to take that chance but she didn't know any other way. Well expect turning yourself over to Roscoe himself.
"That's it." Elizabeth said jumping up. She started pacing. She would call Jason and have them meet Emily someplace while she was turning herself over to Roscoe then hopefully he would leave everyone else alone at least for a little while. Yeah that's what she'll do, but first she needed to wake Emily and tell her what's going on.
Elizabeth awoke with a start to Emily screaming.
