Chapter 9

Author's note: I forgot to mention that AJ never married Courtney. She doesn't really exist in my story.

The PC Grille

The wedding reception was beautiful and everyone was having a great time, especially Eva and Jason. Sonny began to tap his champagne glass lightly to announce that he was about to begin the toast. Everyone quickly quieted down.

"Okay, now I'm not very good at this, but I'll try."

"Oh, please Corinthos you just like to hear yourself talk," Luke yelled jokingly, which made everyone laugh, including Sonny.

"Anyway, like I was saying. Jason, you're my best friend, and I'm really glad to see you happy. And even though I wasn't sure Eva was the right girl for you at first; I see how happy she makes you now. So, to Jason and Eva." All the guest raised their glasses in the toast to Jason and Eva. During the toast no one had noticed AJ slip out of the room with a glass of champagne, which he downed, before hearing his cell phone ring.

"Hello?" AJ replied.

The voice was distorted on the other end. "Mr. Quartermaine I have a proposition for you about getting revenge on your brother and Mr. Corinthos."

" I'm listening," AJ answered.

"Meet me at Pier 57 and I'll explain everything, come alone." The voice on the other end hung up. AJ putt his phone in his pocket and walked off.

Pier 57

AJ arrived at the pier to find a tall man dressed in all black waiting for him. Aj walked up to him, even though he was quite a bit frightened of him it was important to hear what he had to say.

"Mr. Quartermaine, I'm glad to see you've decided to hear my proposal," the man said.

"Who are you?" AJ asked.

"Someone of consequence. Now to business. You want your son and to get back at Jason and Sonny for taking him and I want them dead. I believe that we can help one other quite a bit." the man smiled.

"What do you want me to do?" AJ said curiously.

"Help me to kill them. You have the money I need and I have the means to get your son back for you. So, do we have a deal." the man in black extended his hand to seal the deal with AJ and AJ took it. The man left AJ alone on the docks. 'Now, it's my turn Corinthos,' AJ thought, 'You are finally going to get what you deserve for taking my son away from me.'

PH3 (Jason's)

Jason carried his new bride into the penthouse and put her down on their couch. She kissed him and said, "This has been the best day in the history of the world."

He laughed, but she was right, or at least he agreed with her. She looked so beautiful in her dress; she was perfect to him. And she thought the same of him, that he was perfect. "So, Mrs. Morgan," he liked the sound of that, "Why don't you go upstairs and I'll meet you there."

"Alright, but don't you dare take too long. You know how impatient I am." she giggled slightly, then kissed him and went upstairs. Jason went into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of champagne and two glasses when the phone rang. He groaned in frustration and picked it up.

"What?" he said impatiently.

"Mr. Morgan, I just called to congratulate you on your marriage, I hope you don't make plans to leave your wife." whoever it was hung up after that. 'What was that suppose to mean,' Jason thought. He choose to forget about it, he would talk to Sonny in the morning and then they'd take actions, but tonight was not for business, it was for pleasure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Upstairs

Jason walked into the bedroom; "I have the champagne." he said softly looking at his wife in small white lingerie, before whispering, "wow."

"I take it you like it," she smiled walking towards him and taking the champagne and glasses from him. She placed them on the dresser, "I'm not in the mood for any more champagne; I want something better."

"And what's that?" Jason asked, knowing the answer.

"You." She grabbed the collar of his tux and pulled him into a passionate kiss that Jason couldn't help but return. The kiss deepened, if that was even possible. Jason loved her, in a different way than he loved Robin, or Elizabeth, or any other women he'd been with. She was the first girl he'd every truly and wholly loved with every fiber of his being, and she felt the same way. Their life together was perfect, in fact it was going to be the marriage that all marriages would be based upon. The life he was about to start with Eva was something no one could destroy. Alonzo had tried and failed, and he was a worthy adversary, but that was enough thinking for tonight. All Jason wanted tonight was to feel his wife in his arms.

The Quartermaine Mansion

AJ walked into the den with a giant smile on his face. "What's that about?" Emily, who was sitting on the couch because her back still ached sometimes, asked.

"What's what about?" AJ asked his younger sister.

"Your smile. I surprised to see you so happy on Jason's wedding day." Emily added, "Is there something going on or something."

"What? Does me smiling every once in a while seem odd?"

"No, not usually. But on Jason's wedding day; yes, definitely." Emily shifted her weight on the couch and stood up, slowly. She walked close to AJ and smelled him. "You haven't been drinking, have you?"

"What! I can't believe you, Emily. I would never touch that stuff, not anymore." AJ lied. Of course, he'd been drinking. It wasn't much just something to calm him at Jason's wedding. It wasn't like anyone had seen him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sonny's Penthouse.

Both Michelle and Michael had gone to bed and Carly and Sonny were sitting comfortably in one another's arms. "It was a beautiful wedding." Carly stated abruptly.

"Yeah," Sonny said, "I'm just glad to see Jason happy."

"Me, too," she stroked his arm gently and then continued, "I never thought I see the day Jason settled…" she stopped and reached for Sonny's hand. She took it and placed it on her stomach, "Can you feel that?"

He let his hand sit there for a minute and he felt the light tapping from inside Carly's stomach. "Is that the baby?"

"Yes," she looked down at her stomach, "Hey, little one. Can't wait to get out of there, huh? Well, we can't wait either. You are going to have the best daddy in the world, you know that." She looked at Sonny and smiled.

"You listen to me, kid, your mom and I are going to take good care of you. But just a warning don't wake your mother before ten; it makes her cranky." Carly punched Sonny in the arm, which made him laugh.

"Alright, you and your dad aren't going to talk anymore. And you can wake me up anytime you want." Carly leaned back in Sonny's arms and closed her eyes. Within five seconds the telephone ringing interrupted their perfect night at home. Sonny ran to get it quickly, so it wouldn't wake the kids.

"What?" Sonny listened to the person on the other end before gently setting the phone down.

"What is it?" Carly asked.

"It's business. I'll be back. Why don't you get the kids and go to the brownstone with Bobbie, that way you won't be here alone." Sonny reached for his coat and went to the door, but Carly stopped him.

"Okay, and I'm not going to ask you where you're going or anything, but just be careful, please." He kissed his wife and ran out the door. He stopped at Jason's penthouse for a moment, debating whether or not he should knock on the door or let them be. It was business and it did concern Jason, but it was his wedding night. Sonny passed the door and got on to the elevator.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jason's penthouse

Jason laid in bed next to his wife, who was sleeping safely in his arms. He couldn't stop thinking about the phone call he'd received earlier that night. Who was it on the phone? He held Eva tighter; he'd never make his wife a widow. Not if he could help it. The phone rang causing Jason's sleeping wife to wake up.

"Morgan."

"Jason, it's AJ. Look, I know it's a bad time but I need you to get to the house. Grandmother needs to see you" AJ replied.

"I'll be right there." Jason got up out of bed and began to get dressed.

"What's wrong, Jase?" Eva asked.

"Lila is asking for me. I won't be long." Eva grabbed her bathrobe and threw it on as Jason ran down the stairs to leave.

"Hurry back. I'm getting my second wind." She gave him a quick kiss and then he was gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sonny's warehouse

"All right, Benny, I'm here. What's going on?" Sonny asked.

"What do you mean, Mr. Corinthos?" Benny had a puzzling look on his face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jason's Penthouse

Eva sat on the couch and waited for her new husband to return on their wedding night. She knew that they stayed in town incase Jason had business, but at this moment she really wished that they had planed a honeymoon out of town. A knock came from the door. Eva jumped up of the couch.

"Jason, did you forget your keys?" Eva swung the door open and a white cloth came flying at her. Eva fought for the first moment knocking over a lamp near the door, but within ten seconds she was knocked unconscious and dragged out of her home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Q's

"AJ," Jason walked over to him, "Where's Grandmother?

"She got tired and went to bed. She asked Reginald to call you just before she went up. I guess he missed you." AJ replied nonchalantly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Penthouses

Jason walked out of the elevator. When he reached his penthouse the door was wide open. He knew that Eva never would have left it open. He walked in and checked the apartment to see if there were any signs of struggle; there was only a lamp near the door knocked over. Jason heard someone step off the elevator, so he left the apartment. It was Sonny.

"Jase, what are you doing out here?" Sonny asked. He was curious at why Jason would even think of leaving his wife alone on their wedding night. Sonny knew he wouldn't have left Carly on any of their wedding nights for anything, including a nuclear war.

"Eva's gone." Jason said bluntly.

"What do you mean? She left you?" Sonny was confused.

"No, someone took her." Jason showed Sonny the lamp and told him about the phone calls from the mystery man.

Log Cabin (far away from Port Charles)

"Perfect. Now Morgan and Corinthos will be so busy trying to figure out what's going on I can put my plan into motion.
