Chapter 5

Jason sped down the road in Gia's car.  He knew that he and Gia had to get out of Port Charles as soon as possible.  It wouldn't take Lieutenant Taggert long to figure out what had happened.  There would be cops on their tail very soon.

Gia sat in the passenger seat staring out the window.  She was scared to death, but she didn't want Jason to know that.  For his sake she would deal with her fear.  Jason looked over at Gia.  He knew she was scared, but could tell she was trying to hide it.  He decided not to say anything about it.

He looked in the rearview mirror and saw that he had bigger things to worry about.  There was a police car coming up behind them.  Jason wasn't sure whether he should mention it to Gia or not.  He didn't have to think about for long, because the cop turned on the siren.  Gia turned around and looked out the back window.  She couldn't hide the fear on her face anymore.

"Jason…"

"I know," he said calmly.

"What are we going to do?" she asked, her voice shaking.

"We're going to lose them," Jason said as he pushed the accelerator down harder.

Gia held on tightly as the car sped up to over 80 mph.  The siren began to grow louder, she looked behind them and saw that three more police cars had joined the chase.

"Um… Jason?" she said pointing behind them.

Jason looked in the mirror and saw the extra cars.  "Hold on," he told her.

He pushed the accelerator all the way to the floor.  Gia's little sports car was pushed to its limit as he sped up to over 100 mph.  Soon the police cars were out of sight although they could still faintly  hear the sirens.   Jason pulled onto the side of the road and skidded to a stop.

"Get out!" he yelled to Gia.  "I'll lose them and come back for you."

Gia started to protest, but decided against it.  She quickly jumped out.

"Stay out of sight," Jason yelled as he sped off.

Gia hid in the bushes and watched the car speed away closely followed by the police cars which had caught up to them. 

She watched them disappear around the curve and then heard a crash.

"Jason!" she screamed as her eyes filled with tears.
