Chapter 11

"No!" Gia screamed again as Jason fell to the deck.

The other two men continued to fight.  Gia moved out of the way as they suddenly tumbled towards her.  Sonny's man pushed the other man up against the railing.   Gia screamed as both men fell overboard.  They disappeared underwater.

Gia took a quick glance over the side and then ran to Jason's side.  Blood was coming from his shoulder.  "Jason?" she cried.

Jason groaned and opened his eyes.  "Hi," he said smiling weakly at her.

"Are you all right?" she asked crying.

"I'm fine.  It's just a nick."

"But… but there is so much blood…"

"I know, but I'm fine. Don't worry about me," he said sitting up.

"I always worry about you," she said.  She leaned over and gave him a gentle kiss.  "Are you sure you're all right?"

"Yes, I'm fine."  Jason looked around.  "Where did the man Sonny sent go?"

Gia ran to the side of the boat and looked over.  Neither man was in sight.  "They… they both fell overboard.  Jason I just realized it, but they went underwater and neither one came up!"

Jason looked over the side.  He walked all around the boat doing the same thing on each side.  There was no sign of either of them.

"We've got to get out of here."

"What about…"

"We have to worry about us Gia!  Our lives are on the line here."

"Ok."

Jason restarted the boat and steered it towards the south.

Meanwhile back in Port Charles, Zander Smith was sitting in a run down hotel room on the edge of town.  There was a knock on the door.  Zander looked through the peep hole to see who was there.  He unlocked the door.

Two men entered the hotel room. 

The taller one spoke, "The police know that the body in the warehouse isn't yours."

Zander looked a little worried.  "Do they know that I was involved?"

"Not yet," the other man said.  "But we have to take care of things before that happened."

"Take care of things how?" Zander asked nervously.

The taller man patted him on the back.  "We have to make sure Jason Morgan and his girlfriend are eliminated before the police catch up to them," he said heading for the door.

The men left the motel room.  Zander exhaled sharply and sank into the nearest chair.  "What have I gotten myself involved in," he whispered to himself.
