Hope you enjoy. Please read and review. For all those who are reading
Elizabeth's Miles I'll have two new chapters out by the end of the week.
Isa
Part 1
She hadn't moved in 2 hours, well at least she thinks it's been about 2 hours. She can't really remember when she had sat down, all she knew was that her legs were asleep and her butt was sore. She guess that's what you get when you sit on the docks for long periods of time, but she didn't know where else she could go. Her studio was out of the questions too many bad memories over riding the good ones. Bobbie's was out because she given up her room when Zander had asked her to get out of town with him. She cursed herself again for listening to him, she should've known when he threw it in Jason face that they had spelt together that he was just using her; but still she forgave. But what she found out just days ago she couldn't forgive nor would she ever want to. Zander betrayed her and now she knew how Jason felt ever time she pick Lucky over him or when she choose Zander over him. She didn't think Jason would ever forgive her for sleeping with Zander, not that he should she had made a stupid mistake and it cost her Jason all over again. So here she sat with nowhere to go. It's your own fault she told herself. She could've walked away sooner but she thought that she could help Sonny and Jason nail Zander.
After she found out that he contaminated Sonny and Jason warehouse she had decided that she would let Zander think that she wanted to be with him. That if he thought that she had chosen him over Jason that he would get sloppy and slip something that could help Jason and Sonny, but it seem that he was covering his tracks better than she thought. He hadn't slip anything and she knew as soon as Sonny found out that it was Zander that contaminated his and Jason's warehouse that he would order Jason to kill him. So she went to see Jason to hopefully get him to leave Zander alone and not hurt him. She had thought that if she had more time that eventually he would slip and give her something that would lead Jason and Sonny to the bad guys but when she went to Jason she had just ended up losing whatever was left of their so-called friendship. She had kicked herself all the way back to her studio. When she gotten their Zander was waiting for her. She knew then that something was off but she didn't know what. Zander seemed more friendly and he kept asking her if she was okay. "Of course she was ok." She had told him but in truth she was the farested from okay that she had been since her rape. But she just smiled and said that she was fine.
He had asked he to dinner that night and she'd accepted hoping that she could get him talking about his job with Roy. She knew from Zander and now Jason that he was working for Roy and from what Jason had said Roy was his and Sonny's enemy. So she'd had gotten ready for dinner but right before they left for Kelly's Zander got a phone call he looked very happy when he got off. He told her that there was a change for plans and that they were now going to the Port Charles grill. She had started to argue with him but stop short when she saw the look in his eyes; no she was going to be going to the grill whether or not she wanted to.
When they walked in she saw the reason he wanted to go there. She knew exactly what the phone call was about. There in the back corner sat Sonny, Carly, and Jason. When she saw them she had asked to go somewhere else but Zander had said that it was fine and not to worry. God, as she thinks back now she could she see how much he was loving the fact that he was hurting Jason by bring her there. So she put on one of her famous fake smiles and followed Zander to their table. When she got there Jason had looked over at her and she saw the flash of pain and anger in his eyes and then nothing, absolutely nothing. She had to stop herself from flinching. Sonny must have saw what she had because he looked up at her and offered her a small sad smile that said your making the wrong decision. She sighed and sat down after returning the smile to Sonny.
She sat there with Zander through dinner having to feel Jason's eyes on her the whole time and it only made things worse she couldn't concentrate on the problem at hand which was trying to get Zander to give up something, to slip up somewhere. But to her dismay he didn't. He kept the conversation on her and every time she'd try and change the subject to his job he would say that everything was fine and she didn't need to know certain things that he had to do for Roy. Then he would immediately change the subject back to her. Right before dessert he got another call and had to leave the table. Right after he left she felt someone behind her. When she looked over her shoulder expecting to see Jason when she came face to face with Sonny. She had tried to smile at him but couldn't. To her surprise he sat down in Zander's chair. She turned to face and say that Zander would be back at anytime but before she could get one word out Sonny cut her off. He had asked he what she was doing with Zander and asked her if she knew he was working for Roy. She simply smiled and nodded not able to find the words that she was looking for.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw Jason leading Carly out of the grill and followed them with her eyes until they were out of sight. When she turned back to Sonny he looked sad. He asked her how much Jason had told her about what he had to go through to find her when she was kidnapped. Nothing was her reply. He had smiled and shook his head and then proceeded to tell her about Taggert and the Quartermaine's and how they blackmailed Jason when he went to them for information to help find her. How Jason had tore the town apart looking for her. That Jason had just refused to take care of Zander for him. Then he asked what she was doing with Jason's enemy. If she knew what this doing to him. If she cared. She had told him she did care and not all things appear to be what they seem. He was about to ask her what she meant when Zander showed up again. Sonny had quickly excused himself and told her in parting that if she ever need anything that to call him. That no matter what he was still her friend. She almost sobbed out loud but bite the inside of her check to stop herself, thanked him, and said she was fine, no worries. Then he was gone.
Zander had played 20 questions all the way back to her studio asking her what Sonny had said before he got back to the table. She had managed to convince him that he there seeing if she was ok and told him that she was fine. Zander had seemed to accept her answer and started kissing her. It took everything she had to vomit when his lips touched hers. Thankfully it didn't last long. The ringing of his cell phone interrupted them. He took the call and said he had to go Roy needed to see him. She thought that this was her chance so she waited until he was in the stairwell and followed him.
She had almost lost him twice but had managed to keep up barely. She didn't even know where she was. She had followed him to this abandoned building off Cortland Street. When he went inside she took the opportunity to dig through her purse to find a pen and write the address down to building. She thought that she could give it to Sonny to check out. After another five minutes had past and still Zander hadn't came out she walked over to the side of the building into the shadows so no one would see her and tried to look through the window just above her head. She realized that she had to find a box to stand on to see in. When she had found a crate to stand on she peered in she saw Zander with Roy and two other men she had never seen before and could guess were the men Roy was working for. She saw Zander putting a black box into his backpack he bought with him, shook Roy's hand, and walked out.
She then followed him to Sonny and Jason warehouse, but this time she didn't wait outside she followed him in and kept to the shadows. She followed Zander upstairs to Sonny's office were he pulled out the black box placing it under Sonny's desk and then proceeded to leave, but when he got to the door he stopped and open his backpack and pull out Jason leather jacket. She had gasped at the sight of Zander with Jason jacket tipping off Zander that someone was there. He quickly looked around calling out if someone was there. Elizabeth had backed up into a corner out of Zander's line of sight. He left the jacket next to the door and left.
Elizabeth stood there pressed against the door staring at Jason jacket that Zander must have stolen. She closed her eyes and prayed that it was all a dream, that she would open her eyes and find herself back in the hospital holding the postcard Jason had given her. But when she did the only thing she saw was Jason jacket mocking her, screaming at her that she made the wrong choice again. Tears filled her eyes and she roughly wiped them way. She didn't deserve cry. She didn't deserve Jason, but she wanted him all the same. She took a deep breath and walked out of the warehouse. She looked around for Zander but couldn't find him. She headed back to her studio knowing she'd lost him.
She got back to the studio and was turning down the hallway when she heard Jason's voice and then she heard Zander. She moved down the hall closer to them to hear what they were saying and was shocked to hear Jason telling Zander to take her and get on the plane out of Port Charles that Zander was in danger and so was Elizabeth because she choose to associate with him. Jason handed Zander plane tickets and told him if he didn't go Sonny would find someone else to take care of him. Zander had agreed and took the tickets.
Elizabeth couldn't believe what she was hearing; Jason wanted her to be with Zander? She was hurt, angry, and she cursed herself she had no right to be. But it didn't seem to matter before she knew what she was doing she was standing in front of Zander demanding to know why Jason was there. She told him to take back his plane tickets that she didn't want anything from him. He just stared at her with the cold stone face he uses with people like Taggert or Edward but never her, never her. But there he was looking just like that. She had to steal herself or she would've broken down and cried right there but she had managed to keep a neutral face. Jason just looked right through and walked away.
She heard Zander snicker behind him, and right then she snapped and whirled around wanting to know what was so funny. He just stared at her and told her to pack that their plane took off in two hours. She opened her month to say something anything but nothing came and she closed her month and tried again and still she couldn't find the words to argue with him. So she gave up and started packing. When Zander saw that she wasn't going to refuse to do what he asked he told her he had to make a phone call and step outside into the hallway, accidentally leaving to the door ajar just enough for her to hear who he was talking to. And whom he was talking to was as surprising as Sarah showing up in Port Charles after three and half years to tell her she was adopted and then before leaving sleeping with her ex- boyfriend. So there she stood ear pressed to the door jam listening to Zander arranging to meet Carly at the airport before they left. She wasn't surprised to hear Zander talking to Carly about how everything was going as to plan and asking her how things were going on her side. Someone must have walked in on Carly because she had hung up on Zander. Elizabeth bolted across the room when she saw Zander starting to turn around to come back inside. When he walked back she was zipping up her bag and throwing it over her shoulder. Seeing she was ready to go Zander asked if she wanted to call anyone before they left. Immediately Jason face flashed through her mind but she just shook her head and grabbed Zander's hand pulling him out of her studio.
Before she knew it she was sitting in the airport waiting for her planed to begin to board. Zander had gone to buy some magazines for the plane ride she didn't even know where she was going but she knew that she had to have passport. She checked her watch again and noticed Zander had been gone almost twenty minutes remembering that he was meeting Carly she got up and started looking for him hoping she hadn't missed anything she could use against him. She had decided that since Jason didn't want anything to do with her that when she got to where she was going she'd call Sonny to tell him what Zander was doing. Why are you even going with him flesh through her head? She just pushed it back she couldn't think about that now. She knew that no matter how much Zander hated Sonny and Jason that he wouldn't hurt that he might have thrown it in Jason face that they slept together but he cared about her. That's when she saw it Zander kissing Carly against the airport wall. She gasped and hid behind a large plant right next to them.
When they broke apart Carly asked how things were going with goody-muffin face, Zander just laughed and told her better than either one of them could ever hoped. Said that she was so easy to scare that locking her in the stairwell was a genius and he wished he thought of it. Carly just laughed and said that it was one of her better ideas but not as good as turning her against Jason. Zander then asked if she had gotten back into Sonny's good graces yet. She replied that she made him think that she wanted nothing to do with him. That he then took he to Port Rico and "convinced" her to take him back. And that she was now in the perfect position to get all sorts of info on Sonny. She then had told him that Alexis was pregnant with Sonny's baby and that she would be a perfect way to get to Sonny was to take Alexis out. Zander smile had immediately vanished and he grabbed Carly by the upper arms and told her that if anything happened to Alexis that he would hold her responsible. Elizabeth for the first time in life saw Carly look truly scared. Then she was yelling at him telling him to watch his step that Alcazar wouldn't like that fact that he was so protective over a pawn in their game and Alexis wasn't worth it any ways. Then she added the fact that he was supposed to already take care of Elizabeth. He said as soon as they were gone he was going to do it that he couldn't very well kill her while they were still in Port Charles. Carly seemed to agree because she then asked if he had heard what the next move was. He told her he didn't know that after the warehouse was taken care of and made to look like Jason started it that Alcazar would be in contact.
They then kissed good-bye and Carly departed and Zander headed in the direction of the gift shop. Elizabeth stayed there sitting on the ground trying to process all that she just heard; what she just saw. There was no way Sonny let alone Jason would believe her. And to top it off Zander was going to betray her that he just didn't want he wanted her dead. AND he was working with Carly. Elizabeth knew she needed to get up and go back to the chairs where Zander left her but she was having trouble getting up. Finally making her legs work she pulled herself up and started to make her way back to the waiting area, but just then Zander came out of the gift shop and spotted her. He called out to her and she stopped and turned flashing him a fake smile. He asked what she was doing and she told him that she wanted to see what was taking so long then asked where they were going and when he told her her legs gave out from underneath her and Zander had to catch her before she hit the floor. Italy. They were going to Italy. 'Not without Jason' her head screamed over and over again. Finally when she had enough strength to stand on her own she said she had to use the bathroom. Zander helped her to the restroom and said he would wait for her at the gate.
Elizabeth knew this was her chance so she stepped inside waited five minutes and walked out. She saw Zander sitting in the chair she had been in before she had gotten up. She turned down the opposite hallway that led outside. She turned and saw Zander was looking around for her and she knew she had to hurry so she started running. Turned down another hallway when she stopped dead in her tracks there was a t.v above the departing monitors and the news was on and she found herself watching Jason and Sonny's warehouse burn to the ground again expect this time on t.v. She walked close to the so she could hear what the news was saying. She couldn't believe there was an explosion that started a fire in the warehouse and that Kristina Cassidine had been trapped and killed in the fire, that Jason had gotten arrested for starting the fire. She then saw Alexis in the background crying, holding on to what looked like Ned. Elizabeth found herself crying. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Zander looking for her again. So she ran as fast as she could. When she was outside the airport she flagged down a taxi and had him take her back to her studio. She got all the way to the front door when she stopped, turned, and fled.
So now here she sits on the docks with nowhere to go and no one to help her, looking across at the remains of the Corinthos-Morgan warehouse. She shivered and looked down at herself to see that she was soaked and that's when she realized it was raining, pouring down on her. She didn't know how long it had been raining for but she was cold and she knew that she had to get in doors soon and it had to be someplace safe. She now knew that she had enemies out there that were planning her death and would carry it out without a second thought. Jason was right again, Zander was dangerous more so than Jason realize and then was Carly who was involved she didn't know how deep Carly was in but she did know that Carly knew about the warehouse and Elizabeth soon to be death. Then it hit her Alexis. She would go to Alexis. She didn't know if she would help but maybe if she told her everything that she knew she would consider it.
So there she stood outside Alexis's new apartment. She was soaked to the bone, freezing cold, and didn't care at all. She knocked and waited. She heard Alexis yell that she would be right there she could tell that she was crying and she cursed herself again that night for what she was about to do. If only she had made different choices but she couldn't change anything all she could do was try and fix it. And then the door opened and there stood Alexis in sweats, hair in a ponytail looking very tried.
"Alexis I'm sorry to bother you but I need your help."
Alexis looked at her like she was crazy. "Get in here girl. Do what to die of cold? Look at you your soaked."
Alexis ushered Elizabeth in and sat her down on the couch. "I'm going to get you some towels to dry off with."
Alexis came back with two towels and a mug of coffee. "Here drink this it will help."
Elizabeth gratefully took the mug and drank. She set the cup back on the table and started drying off. "Alexis I I just wanted to say how sorry I'm for you for your lose." Alexis nodded not being able to speak.
"You said you needed my help. What's wrong Elizabeth?"
Elizabeth looked down and her eyes filled with tears. She tried to blink them away but ended up having them spill over down her cheeks to her chin. "Elizabeth, what's going on?" Alexis asked again getting scared at the reaction Elizabeth was having.
Elizabeth looked up and wiped her face with one of the towels Alexis had given her. "What I'm about to tell you is very important and true. You're probably not going to believe but you have to because so many lives depend on it. Including your baby's."
Alexis's eyes widen at the last part about her baby; she was all ears now. "I'm listening Elizabeth."
Elizabeth smiled a sad smile and began to tell everything that had happened in the last two weeks everything from her kidnapping to the airport leaving nothing out. By the time she was done Alexis was crying.
"I can't believe it." Alexis started but Elizabeth cut her off.
"You have to Alexis, you're my only hope."
"Ssssh Elizabeth I do believe I just-it's so much Zander, Carly, the warehouse. Oh god Jason in jail for my sister's death, we have to go I have to go. I need to get him out and get in touch with Sonny warn him against Carly."
"Do you really think he believe us?"
"I don't know but we'll find out. Do you want to come with to the police station?" Alexis asked kinda of hoping she say yes.
"Well I guess since I'm the one with the information on Zander. But he wants me dead; what is he sees me?"
"Don't worry I'll protect you." Alexis said and really smiled for the first time that day. "I'm a Cassidine honey and we are the wrong people to fuck with. You won't be hurt as long as I'm there.
Alexis and Elizabeth walked into the police station to find Sonny arguing with Taggert about getting Jason out of jail.
"Give me break Taggert all you have is his leather jacket that was next to the front door; you don't even know how the fire started!" Sonny yelled at Taggert.
"Oh please Corinthos I know how it goes. You couldn't very well have your warehouse closed down while the health department tries and finds something else wrong with your business so you have Morgan troche the place for you. Expect he leaves his jacket in a hurry to get out before the fireworks started."
Taggert and Sonny hadn't notice Alexis and Elizabeth walk in.
"Officer go get Morgan we're transferring him to pentenville to await arraignment."
The officer walks into the interrogation room and gets Jason.
"I don't think so Taggert. Jason's not going anywhere expect home. NOW!" Alexis said announcing her arrival.
"Great. I thought you're the one that wanted us to arrest him." Taggert said turning to face his biggest nightmare. While the officer bought Jason out of the interrogation room.
"Well I was wrong. Jason and Sonny didn't have anything to do with the fire at the warehouse or my sister's death."
Sonny and Jason looked at her like she grew another head.
"Not that I mind you getting Jason off but what's with the big change of heart Alexis?" Sonny asked.
Alexis stepped aside to show them Elizabeth who was standing behind her. Elizabeth heard Jason gasp at the site of her. She didn't know if it was because she was still wearing her wet closes or if it was because she was there period.
"You see I talked to Elizabeth here and she made me she that I was completely wrong." Alexis stated.
"Elizabeth what are you doing here Jason told me you left town?" Sonny asked surprised to see her there.
"I-I didn't end up leaving. I was never going to. I just had make Zander think I was going to." Elizabeth said looking up at Jason but he showed nothing his face was a blank page.
Sonny brows furrowed in confusion. "What are you talking about Elizabeth make Zander think you were going? I don't get it."
"Let's just get Jason out of jail and then I'll tell you what I know." Elizabeth said. Taggert was just about to interrupt but Jason did first. "We're not going anywhere you can say what you have to say right here."
"Jason I don't think that's a good id.." Elizabeth started.
"I don't care what you think is a good idea or not we're not going anywhere." Jason repeated.
Alexis flashed a look at Sonny that said Elizabeth's right not here. "Lets' just get you out of jail first Jason and then we'll deal with Elizabeth." Sonny suggested. Jason shut his mouth and sat down on a desk behind him.
"Ok Taggert do I need to file a harassment suit against you again or are you just going to let it go."
"Fine. But next Davis you want him arrested not come to me." He said walking over to Jason unlocking his handcuff. "And Morgan don't leave town."
"We know the deal Taggert." Alexis informed him.
"Ok let's go back to Alexis's and Elizabeth can tell us what she told Alexis to change her mind about us. Just then Carly came busting through the doors. "Jason, Sonny oh god I heard are you guys ok."
Jason saw as soon as Elizabeth saw Carly she hide behind Alexis again grabbing on to the back of her suit holding on to her so tight that Elizabeth's knuckles were white. "We're fine Carly." Sonny answered.
Jason stood back and watched how Alexis went in autopilot when she saw Carly. He noticed how Alexis wrapped one arm around Elizabeth holding her even closer to her. She looked like a mother loin trying to protect her young. Jason frowned Elizabeth could hold her own with Carly why is she hiding behind Alexis like a scared five-year-old little kid. Sonny must have noticed it too because he looked over at Jason and gave a look that what the hell is that about.
Carly finally noticed Alexis standing there and was about to go off on her, 'Alexis is slut she's trying to get you back Sonny' triad but stopped short when she saw Elizabeth standing behind Alexis. But Elizabeth was supposed to be with Zander. "Well, well if it isn't little Miss goody-muffin face girl; what are you think your doing here shouldn't you be on a plane to Italy?" Carly watched as Sonny and Jason's eyes widen at her comment and knew she fucked up. How was she supposed to know Elizabeth was leaving town and to Italy too no less.
Before Sonny or Jason could comment Alexis had step forward. "If you or any of your associates come near her ever again I will kill you Carly." Sonny whirled around to Alexis and was about to tell her to lay off when he saw something flash through Carly's eyes that he didn't know what it was but he was going to find out so he kept quite.
"You think you're so smart since you have Sonny wrapped around your little finger and Jason as your big protector but you're not Carly. Do you why, because you're sloppy and stupid and you don't know how to play the game to win."
Jason was about to say something but Sonny must have sensed because he shook his head at Jason not to say anything.
"I'm stupid. I'm the one who's stupid. Right. You're stupid Alexis and so is Elizabeth she should've just went with Zander and never came back to PC." Carly spattered right back.
"You're right on one thing Elizabeth would've never came back after Zander was done killing her."
Jason and Sonny looked over at Elizabeth with shocked faces. Elizabeth had managed to release the hold she had on Alexis's suit but Alexis hadn't let go of Elizabeth so she was still pressed up against her.
"Did you really think that she wouldn't find out what Zander was up to? That she has been pretending to be with him for nothing? That she hurt Jason again for nothing? You're more stupid than I thought you were. Elizabeth been following around Zander for weeks watching him, listening to his conversations and she knows Carly she saw at the airport tonight with Zander talking about when the warehouse was going to taken care of. She knows all about you Carly, you and Zander."
Jason couldn't believe it here he thought that she wanted to be with Zander so he stepped aside to let her have what she wanted and he was sending her away with him and he was planing on killing her. Jason could kick himself he knew something was off he just couldn't figure out what it was. He looked over at Sonny to see him looking at Carly with hate, pure hate in his eyes.
"She knows nothing. She obviously making this up Zander would never hurt Elizabeth."
That was it Elizabeth had had enough. She pulled away from Alexis and move to stand in front of like she was the mama loin now.
"Right Carly and I'm just making it up that you told Zander to go to Alcazar to tell him Alexis was the perfect way to get to Sonny. That the fact that she was carrying his child would destroy him if anything happened to her. That Zander didn't almost beat you down for even suggesting it. That he would kill you himself if anything happened to Alexis."
Carly looked about to collapse on the floor by the time Elizabeth was done as well as Alexis and Sonny. Elizabeth turned around to face Alexis. "I'm so sorry Lex I didn't mean for that to come out." Elizabeth apologized.
"It's ok I was going to tell him tonight any ways." Alexis replied.
"Alex-Alexis is that true you're carrying my child?" Sonny asked.
"Yes it's true. I'm sorry I didn't tell you soon but with you back with Carly and everything else I-I was scared." Alexis said turning to face him.
No one notice Carly sneaking out of the police station until Jason took his eyes off Elizabeth who was looking down at the ground to ask Carly who Alcazar was. "Where did Carly go?" At Jason question Elizabeth's head shot up and over to where Carly was standing.
"Oh god she going to find Zander and-and-and-."
"Ssssh Elizabeth we'll find her don't worry I won't let her hurt you ever." Alexis stated while pulling Elizabeth into a fierce hug. Elizabeth took comfort in Alexis's embrace until she heard Jason's voice.
"I think we need to get out of here and someplace safe. Obviously there are players involved we had no idea about."
"Good idea Jason. Let's head over to Alexis's apartment. Is that ok Alexis?" Sonny asked.
"Yeah fine let's just go. Elizabeth got to get out of these wet closes."
Alexis released the hold on Elizabeth and followed Sonny out leaving Jason and Elizabeth staring at each other in the police station.
"I'm sorry." They both said at the same time.
"Elizabeth." Jason said stepping up to her. "I'm such an idiot. I should've known something was going on. I mean I did know I just couldn't figure it out."
"No Jason this is all my fault I should've never tried to get info on Zander. I lied to-."
Jason covered her lips with his fingertips quieting her apology. "Don't. It's ok Elizabeth. I'm not mad." Jason smiled and wrapped his arm around Elizabeth and lead her out of the station to Sonny's waiting limo outside to head back to Alexis's penthouse.
The limo ride back to Alexis's was quite, deadly quite. Sonny sat staring out the window trying to absorb everything he'd just heard. Carly working with Zander and Alcazar. It still boggled his mind. What 'bout Portuo Rico? Was it all a lie? Did she just set him up? It looked to be that way. Even though a part of him was screaming it couldn't be true Carly loves you, but Sonny had seen the way Elizabeth reacted to Carly and heard what she said and for some reason he believed Elizabeth about everything. Which was plaguing him even more. If he had been duped by someone like Carly and couldn't tell whom else could be involved that he had no idea about? He sighed loudly and tried to concentrate on Alexis and the fact that he was going to be a father.
Elizabeth had sat there trying to gauge what everyone was thinking and the only one she had no clue about was Alexis. She knew that Jason was sitting there blaming himself for almost sending Elizabeth off to her death. But the truth of the matter was that she never planned on leaving with Zander; sure she told herself she would but she knew somewhere deep down she wouldn't be able to leave Port Charles, leave Jason. And she knew Sonny was berating himself for letting Carly push herself back into his heart and play him the way she did. She suspected that's what hurt the most is that Sonny was willing to forget everything that Carly had done in the past and start new with her. He was ready to let everything go and for Sonny Elizabeth assumed was not something he did. Ever. She heard him sigh loudly and then he was staring at Alexis. Elizabeth had to bite the inside of her check to stop from giggling. She told herself that this wasn't the time or place for that matter, but it didn't help to see Sonny staring at Alexis like she was going to give birth right there in the limo. Sonny actually looked; well she couldn't think of the right word, maybe amazed or bewildered she didn't know but she knew she'd never seen him look like that before.
Then there was Alexis who had been staring down at her hands the entire ride. Elizabeth thought it looked like Alexis was scared to look up at Sonny, but Alexis Davis scared-of Sonny that she found had to believe. She had seen Alexis take on Sonny herself and tell him to keep his trap shut more times than she could count. Now it looked as though Alexis wanted nothing more than to crawl under a rock somewhere and never come out if it meant facing the all powerful godfather of the eastern seaboard, Sonny Corinothos. But that wasn't going to happen, they had problems and a lot of them more than they thought 2 hours ago.
They pulled up to Alexis penthouse and Jason was the first out of the car and motioned for everyone to stay put while he did a perimeter check. Five minutes later Jason came back. "Ok it's safe so let's get moving."
He held out his hand for Elizabeth to take and this time she didn't hesitate at the least just slipped her hand into his and step out of the limo. Next was Sonny who held his hand out for Alexis, but she refused it and stepped out without any help from him. Jason walked over to the divers window and knocked. Max rolled down his limo.
"Max I need you to call Francis and Johnny get them over here now I want Johnny at Alexis's door and Francis in the lobby checking everyone's ID before they get to go upside. Then I need you go by Bobbie's she'll be expecting you. Pick up Michael and bring him back here. Than I need you to call Benny have him start a search. I want Carly and Zander found NOW."
"Got it. No problem. Mr. Morgan what about clothes for Miss. Webber?"
"Right, when you stop to pick up Michael pick some closes up for Elizabeth. Her room is on the second floor third door to your left."
"Ok no problem sir."
"Good call me if anything comes up."
"Right."
Jason then headed back to Elizabeth, Alexis, and Sonny who were standing in front of Alexis's building.
"Ok I having Max call Johnny and Francis over here to guard the doors and elevator and then he'll go to Bobbie's pick up Michael and get some clothes for Elizabeth."
"Good now let's get inside I'm getting a weird feeling standing out here." Sonny replied.
They all headed in Sonny first with Alexis and Elizabeth following and Jason pulling up the rear. When they arrived Alexis's door was ajar Sonny who was first motioned for them to stop. Jason looked over at him and saw the door ajar.
"Alexis, Elizabeth get back behind me." Jason whispered.
Alexis who had seen the door pulled Elizabeth back behind her and backed them both up till Elizabeth was standing between the wall and Alexis's back. "Shouldn't I be the one standing in front you're the one who's pregnant." Elizabeth whispered in Alexis's ear. "SShh." Was her only reply.
Jason and Sonny burst through the door guns draw ready to shoot and were very surprised at what they saw. There sat on Alexis's couch was Kristina.
"Whoa there cowboys don't shoot." Alexis hearing her sister's voice ran through the door and stop dead in her tracks at seeing her sister.
"Hey Alexis. How are doing?" Kristina asked smiling ear to ear, while Alexis slowly started to walked towards her back from the dead sister.
"Alexis are you okay? You don't look so good." Sonny asked worriedly.
"Uh yeah I'm-I'm ok I-I." Then she fainted.
"Whoa there." Sonny said catching Alexis before she hit the floor. He picked her up taking her over and lying her down on the couch. Jason walked outside the penthouse to call Bobbie to tell her to be expecting Max to come by and pick up Michael and some of Elizabeth's clothes.
"The Spencer-Jones residence." Bobbie answered.
"Bobbie it's Jason."
"Jason how are you? Is something wrong?"
"I'm fine Bobbie. Listen Bobbie can you pack a bag for Michael and Elizabeth they both going to be staying with Sonny for a couple a days?"
"So I take it something wrong or Sonny would be calling and why is Elizabeth staying with Sonny? I don't think Carly's going to be to happy about that."
"It doesn't matter what Carly wants. Please Bobbie Max is going to be there soon, can you have Michael ready to go?"
"Yeah I guess. Jason are you and Sonny in danger because if you are maybe you should make Carly stay in town for awhile."
"Carlys leaving town. When?"
"She stop by about a hour ago. Said to take care of Michael that she didn't know how long she'd be gone for, but that she trusts you and Sonny to keep him safe. What's going on Jason?"
"Carly switched sides."
There was silence on the other end.
"Bobbie you still there?"
"Yeah I just I just can't believe it. Why would she do something so stupid, so dangerous as to trade side against Sonny!?! God what's wrong with her? Is Michael in danger because of her?"
"I think so and a lot of other people are like Elizabeth and Alexis. Maybe even Skye and Jax. Listen Max will be there soon just have everything ready."
"Okay no problem. Keep Michael safe and Elizabeth."
"Don't worry I WILL. And Thanks Bobbie."
Isa
Part 1
She hadn't moved in 2 hours, well at least she thinks it's been about 2 hours. She can't really remember when she had sat down, all she knew was that her legs were asleep and her butt was sore. She guess that's what you get when you sit on the docks for long periods of time, but she didn't know where else she could go. Her studio was out of the questions too many bad memories over riding the good ones. Bobbie's was out because she given up her room when Zander had asked her to get out of town with him. She cursed herself again for listening to him, she should've known when he threw it in Jason face that they had spelt together that he was just using her; but still she forgave. But what she found out just days ago she couldn't forgive nor would she ever want to. Zander betrayed her and now she knew how Jason felt ever time she pick Lucky over him or when she choose Zander over him. She didn't think Jason would ever forgive her for sleeping with Zander, not that he should she had made a stupid mistake and it cost her Jason all over again. So here she sat with nowhere to go. It's your own fault she told herself. She could've walked away sooner but she thought that she could help Sonny and Jason nail Zander.
After she found out that he contaminated Sonny and Jason warehouse she had decided that she would let Zander think that she wanted to be with him. That if he thought that she had chosen him over Jason that he would get sloppy and slip something that could help Jason and Sonny, but it seem that he was covering his tracks better than she thought. He hadn't slip anything and she knew as soon as Sonny found out that it was Zander that contaminated his and Jason's warehouse that he would order Jason to kill him. So she went to see Jason to hopefully get him to leave Zander alone and not hurt him. She had thought that if she had more time that eventually he would slip and give her something that would lead Jason and Sonny to the bad guys but when she went to Jason she had just ended up losing whatever was left of their so-called friendship. She had kicked herself all the way back to her studio. When she gotten their Zander was waiting for her. She knew then that something was off but she didn't know what. Zander seemed more friendly and he kept asking her if she was okay. "Of course she was ok." She had told him but in truth she was the farested from okay that she had been since her rape. But she just smiled and said that she was fine.
He had asked he to dinner that night and she'd accepted hoping that she could get him talking about his job with Roy. She knew from Zander and now Jason that he was working for Roy and from what Jason had said Roy was his and Sonny's enemy. So she'd had gotten ready for dinner but right before they left for Kelly's Zander got a phone call he looked very happy when he got off. He told her that there was a change for plans and that they were now going to the Port Charles grill. She had started to argue with him but stop short when she saw the look in his eyes; no she was going to be going to the grill whether or not she wanted to.
When they walked in she saw the reason he wanted to go there. She knew exactly what the phone call was about. There in the back corner sat Sonny, Carly, and Jason. When she saw them she had asked to go somewhere else but Zander had said that it was fine and not to worry. God, as she thinks back now she could she see how much he was loving the fact that he was hurting Jason by bring her there. So she put on one of her famous fake smiles and followed Zander to their table. When she got there Jason had looked over at her and she saw the flash of pain and anger in his eyes and then nothing, absolutely nothing. She had to stop herself from flinching. Sonny must have saw what she had because he looked up at her and offered her a small sad smile that said your making the wrong decision. She sighed and sat down after returning the smile to Sonny.
She sat there with Zander through dinner having to feel Jason's eyes on her the whole time and it only made things worse she couldn't concentrate on the problem at hand which was trying to get Zander to give up something, to slip up somewhere. But to her dismay he didn't. He kept the conversation on her and every time she'd try and change the subject to his job he would say that everything was fine and she didn't need to know certain things that he had to do for Roy. Then he would immediately change the subject back to her. Right before dessert he got another call and had to leave the table. Right after he left she felt someone behind her. When she looked over her shoulder expecting to see Jason when she came face to face with Sonny. She had tried to smile at him but couldn't. To her surprise he sat down in Zander's chair. She turned to face and say that Zander would be back at anytime but before she could get one word out Sonny cut her off. He had asked he what she was doing with Zander and asked her if she knew he was working for Roy. She simply smiled and nodded not able to find the words that she was looking for.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw Jason leading Carly out of the grill and followed them with her eyes until they were out of sight. When she turned back to Sonny he looked sad. He asked her how much Jason had told her about what he had to go through to find her when she was kidnapped. Nothing was her reply. He had smiled and shook his head and then proceeded to tell her about Taggert and the Quartermaine's and how they blackmailed Jason when he went to them for information to help find her. How Jason had tore the town apart looking for her. That Jason had just refused to take care of Zander for him. Then he asked what she was doing with Jason's enemy. If she knew what this doing to him. If she cared. She had told him she did care and not all things appear to be what they seem. He was about to ask her what she meant when Zander showed up again. Sonny had quickly excused himself and told her in parting that if she ever need anything that to call him. That no matter what he was still her friend. She almost sobbed out loud but bite the inside of her check to stop herself, thanked him, and said she was fine, no worries. Then he was gone.
Zander had played 20 questions all the way back to her studio asking her what Sonny had said before he got back to the table. She had managed to convince him that he there seeing if she was ok and told him that she was fine. Zander had seemed to accept her answer and started kissing her. It took everything she had to vomit when his lips touched hers. Thankfully it didn't last long. The ringing of his cell phone interrupted them. He took the call and said he had to go Roy needed to see him. She thought that this was her chance so she waited until he was in the stairwell and followed him.
She had almost lost him twice but had managed to keep up barely. She didn't even know where she was. She had followed him to this abandoned building off Cortland Street. When he went inside she took the opportunity to dig through her purse to find a pen and write the address down to building. She thought that she could give it to Sonny to check out. After another five minutes had past and still Zander hadn't came out she walked over to the side of the building into the shadows so no one would see her and tried to look through the window just above her head. She realized that she had to find a box to stand on to see in. When she had found a crate to stand on she peered in she saw Zander with Roy and two other men she had never seen before and could guess were the men Roy was working for. She saw Zander putting a black box into his backpack he bought with him, shook Roy's hand, and walked out.
She then followed him to Sonny and Jason warehouse, but this time she didn't wait outside she followed him in and kept to the shadows. She followed Zander upstairs to Sonny's office were he pulled out the black box placing it under Sonny's desk and then proceeded to leave, but when he got to the door he stopped and open his backpack and pull out Jason leather jacket. She had gasped at the sight of Zander with Jason jacket tipping off Zander that someone was there. He quickly looked around calling out if someone was there. Elizabeth had backed up into a corner out of Zander's line of sight. He left the jacket next to the door and left.
Elizabeth stood there pressed against the door staring at Jason jacket that Zander must have stolen. She closed her eyes and prayed that it was all a dream, that she would open her eyes and find herself back in the hospital holding the postcard Jason had given her. But when she did the only thing she saw was Jason jacket mocking her, screaming at her that she made the wrong choice again. Tears filled her eyes and she roughly wiped them way. She didn't deserve cry. She didn't deserve Jason, but she wanted him all the same. She took a deep breath and walked out of the warehouse. She looked around for Zander but couldn't find him. She headed back to her studio knowing she'd lost him.
She got back to the studio and was turning down the hallway when she heard Jason's voice and then she heard Zander. She moved down the hall closer to them to hear what they were saying and was shocked to hear Jason telling Zander to take her and get on the plane out of Port Charles that Zander was in danger and so was Elizabeth because she choose to associate with him. Jason handed Zander plane tickets and told him if he didn't go Sonny would find someone else to take care of him. Zander had agreed and took the tickets.
Elizabeth couldn't believe what she was hearing; Jason wanted her to be with Zander? She was hurt, angry, and she cursed herself she had no right to be. But it didn't seem to matter before she knew what she was doing she was standing in front of Zander demanding to know why Jason was there. She told him to take back his plane tickets that she didn't want anything from him. He just stared at her with the cold stone face he uses with people like Taggert or Edward but never her, never her. But there he was looking just like that. She had to steal herself or she would've broken down and cried right there but she had managed to keep a neutral face. Jason just looked right through and walked away.
She heard Zander snicker behind him, and right then she snapped and whirled around wanting to know what was so funny. He just stared at her and told her to pack that their plane took off in two hours. She opened her month to say something anything but nothing came and she closed her month and tried again and still she couldn't find the words to argue with him. So she gave up and started packing. When Zander saw that she wasn't going to refuse to do what he asked he told her he had to make a phone call and step outside into the hallway, accidentally leaving to the door ajar just enough for her to hear who he was talking to. And whom he was talking to was as surprising as Sarah showing up in Port Charles after three and half years to tell her she was adopted and then before leaving sleeping with her ex- boyfriend. So there she stood ear pressed to the door jam listening to Zander arranging to meet Carly at the airport before they left. She wasn't surprised to hear Zander talking to Carly about how everything was going as to plan and asking her how things were going on her side. Someone must have walked in on Carly because she had hung up on Zander. Elizabeth bolted across the room when she saw Zander starting to turn around to come back inside. When he walked back she was zipping up her bag and throwing it over her shoulder. Seeing she was ready to go Zander asked if she wanted to call anyone before they left. Immediately Jason face flashed through her mind but she just shook her head and grabbed Zander's hand pulling him out of her studio.
Before she knew it she was sitting in the airport waiting for her planed to begin to board. Zander had gone to buy some magazines for the plane ride she didn't even know where she was going but she knew that she had to have passport. She checked her watch again and noticed Zander had been gone almost twenty minutes remembering that he was meeting Carly she got up and started looking for him hoping she hadn't missed anything she could use against him. She had decided that since Jason didn't want anything to do with her that when she got to where she was going she'd call Sonny to tell him what Zander was doing. Why are you even going with him flesh through her head? She just pushed it back she couldn't think about that now. She knew that no matter how much Zander hated Sonny and Jason that he wouldn't hurt that he might have thrown it in Jason face that they slept together but he cared about her. That's when she saw it Zander kissing Carly against the airport wall. She gasped and hid behind a large plant right next to them.
When they broke apart Carly asked how things were going with goody-muffin face, Zander just laughed and told her better than either one of them could ever hoped. Said that she was so easy to scare that locking her in the stairwell was a genius and he wished he thought of it. Carly just laughed and said that it was one of her better ideas but not as good as turning her against Jason. Zander then asked if she had gotten back into Sonny's good graces yet. She replied that she made him think that she wanted nothing to do with him. That he then took he to Port Rico and "convinced" her to take him back. And that she was now in the perfect position to get all sorts of info on Sonny. She then had told him that Alexis was pregnant with Sonny's baby and that she would be a perfect way to get to Sonny was to take Alexis out. Zander smile had immediately vanished and he grabbed Carly by the upper arms and told her that if anything happened to Alexis that he would hold her responsible. Elizabeth for the first time in life saw Carly look truly scared. Then she was yelling at him telling him to watch his step that Alcazar wouldn't like that fact that he was so protective over a pawn in their game and Alexis wasn't worth it any ways. Then she added the fact that he was supposed to already take care of Elizabeth. He said as soon as they were gone he was going to do it that he couldn't very well kill her while they were still in Port Charles. Carly seemed to agree because she then asked if he had heard what the next move was. He told her he didn't know that after the warehouse was taken care of and made to look like Jason started it that Alcazar would be in contact.
They then kissed good-bye and Carly departed and Zander headed in the direction of the gift shop. Elizabeth stayed there sitting on the ground trying to process all that she just heard; what she just saw. There was no way Sonny let alone Jason would believe her. And to top it off Zander was going to betray her that he just didn't want he wanted her dead. AND he was working with Carly. Elizabeth knew she needed to get up and go back to the chairs where Zander left her but she was having trouble getting up. Finally making her legs work she pulled herself up and started to make her way back to the waiting area, but just then Zander came out of the gift shop and spotted her. He called out to her and she stopped and turned flashing him a fake smile. He asked what she was doing and she told him that she wanted to see what was taking so long then asked where they were going and when he told her her legs gave out from underneath her and Zander had to catch her before she hit the floor. Italy. They were going to Italy. 'Not without Jason' her head screamed over and over again. Finally when she had enough strength to stand on her own she said she had to use the bathroom. Zander helped her to the restroom and said he would wait for her at the gate.
Elizabeth knew this was her chance so she stepped inside waited five minutes and walked out. She saw Zander sitting in the chair she had been in before she had gotten up. She turned down the opposite hallway that led outside. She turned and saw Zander was looking around for her and she knew she had to hurry so she started running. Turned down another hallway when she stopped dead in her tracks there was a t.v above the departing monitors and the news was on and she found herself watching Jason and Sonny's warehouse burn to the ground again expect this time on t.v. She walked close to the so she could hear what the news was saying. She couldn't believe there was an explosion that started a fire in the warehouse and that Kristina Cassidine had been trapped and killed in the fire, that Jason had gotten arrested for starting the fire. She then saw Alexis in the background crying, holding on to what looked like Ned. Elizabeth found herself crying. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Zander looking for her again. So she ran as fast as she could. When she was outside the airport she flagged down a taxi and had him take her back to her studio. She got all the way to the front door when she stopped, turned, and fled.
So now here she sits on the docks with nowhere to go and no one to help her, looking across at the remains of the Corinthos-Morgan warehouse. She shivered and looked down at herself to see that she was soaked and that's when she realized it was raining, pouring down on her. She didn't know how long it had been raining for but she was cold and she knew that she had to get in doors soon and it had to be someplace safe. She now knew that she had enemies out there that were planning her death and would carry it out without a second thought. Jason was right again, Zander was dangerous more so than Jason realize and then was Carly who was involved she didn't know how deep Carly was in but she did know that Carly knew about the warehouse and Elizabeth soon to be death. Then it hit her Alexis. She would go to Alexis. She didn't know if she would help but maybe if she told her everything that she knew she would consider it.
So there she stood outside Alexis's new apartment. She was soaked to the bone, freezing cold, and didn't care at all. She knocked and waited. She heard Alexis yell that she would be right there she could tell that she was crying and she cursed herself again that night for what she was about to do. If only she had made different choices but she couldn't change anything all she could do was try and fix it. And then the door opened and there stood Alexis in sweats, hair in a ponytail looking very tried.
"Alexis I'm sorry to bother you but I need your help."
Alexis looked at her like she was crazy. "Get in here girl. Do what to die of cold? Look at you your soaked."
Alexis ushered Elizabeth in and sat her down on the couch. "I'm going to get you some towels to dry off with."
Alexis came back with two towels and a mug of coffee. "Here drink this it will help."
Elizabeth gratefully took the mug and drank. She set the cup back on the table and started drying off. "Alexis I I just wanted to say how sorry I'm for you for your lose." Alexis nodded not being able to speak.
"You said you needed my help. What's wrong Elizabeth?"
Elizabeth looked down and her eyes filled with tears. She tried to blink them away but ended up having them spill over down her cheeks to her chin. "Elizabeth, what's going on?" Alexis asked again getting scared at the reaction Elizabeth was having.
Elizabeth looked up and wiped her face with one of the towels Alexis had given her. "What I'm about to tell you is very important and true. You're probably not going to believe but you have to because so many lives depend on it. Including your baby's."
Alexis's eyes widen at the last part about her baby; she was all ears now. "I'm listening Elizabeth."
Elizabeth smiled a sad smile and began to tell everything that had happened in the last two weeks everything from her kidnapping to the airport leaving nothing out. By the time she was done Alexis was crying.
"I can't believe it." Alexis started but Elizabeth cut her off.
"You have to Alexis, you're my only hope."
"Ssssh Elizabeth I do believe I just-it's so much Zander, Carly, the warehouse. Oh god Jason in jail for my sister's death, we have to go I have to go. I need to get him out and get in touch with Sonny warn him against Carly."
"Do you really think he believe us?"
"I don't know but we'll find out. Do you want to come with to the police station?" Alexis asked kinda of hoping she say yes.
"Well I guess since I'm the one with the information on Zander. But he wants me dead; what is he sees me?"
"Don't worry I'll protect you." Alexis said and really smiled for the first time that day. "I'm a Cassidine honey and we are the wrong people to fuck with. You won't be hurt as long as I'm there.
Alexis and Elizabeth walked into the police station to find Sonny arguing with Taggert about getting Jason out of jail.
"Give me break Taggert all you have is his leather jacket that was next to the front door; you don't even know how the fire started!" Sonny yelled at Taggert.
"Oh please Corinthos I know how it goes. You couldn't very well have your warehouse closed down while the health department tries and finds something else wrong with your business so you have Morgan troche the place for you. Expect he leaves his jacket in a hurry to get out before the fireworks started."
Taggert and Sonny hadn't notice Alexis and Elizabeth walk in.
"Officer go get Morgan we're transferring him to pentenville to await arraignment."
The officer walks into the interrogation room and gets Jason.
"I don't think so Taggert. Jason's not going anywhere expect home. NOW!" Alexis said announcing her arrival.
"Great. I thought you're the one that wanted us to arrest him." Taggert said turning to face his biggest nightmare. While the officer bought Jason out of the interrogation room.
"Well I was wrong. Jason and Sonny didn't have anything to do with the fire at the warehouse or my sister's death."
Sonny and Jason looked at her like she grew another head.
"Not that I mind you getting Jason off but what's with the big change of heart Alexis?" Sonny asked.
Alexis stepped aside to show them Elizabeth who was standing behind her. Elizabeth heard Jason gasp at the site of her. She didn't know if it was because she was still wearing her wet closes or if it was because she was there period.
"You see I talked to Elizabeth here and she made me she that I was completely wrong." Alexis stated.
"Elizabeth what are you doing here Jason told me you left town?" Sonny asked surprised to see her there.
"I-I didn't end up leaving. I was never going to. I just had make Zander think I was going to." Elizabeth said looking up at Jason but he showed nothing his face was a blank page.
Sonny brows furrowed in confusion. "What are you talking about Elizabeth make Zander think you were going? I don't get it."
"Let's just get Jason out of jail and then I'll tell you what I know." Elizabeth said. Taggert was just about to interrupt but Jason did first. "We're not going anywhere you can say what you have to say right here."
"Jason I don't think that's a good id.." Elizabeth started.
"I don't care what you think is a good idea or not we're not going anywhere." Jason repeated.
Alexis flashed a look at Sonny that said Elizabeth's right not here. "Lets' just get you out of jail first Jason and then we'll deal with Elizabeth." Sonny suggested. Jason shut his mouth and sat down on a desk behind him.
"Ok Taggert do I need to file a harassment suit against you again or are you just going to let it go."
"Fine. But next Davis you want him arrested not come to me." He said walking over to Jason unlocking his handcuff. "And Morgan don't leave town."
"We know the deal Taggert." Alexis informed him.
"Ok let's go back to Alexis's and Elizabeth can tell us what she told Alexis to change her mind about us. Just then Carly came busting through the doors. "Jason, Sonny oh god I heard are you guys ok."
Jason saw as soon as Elizabeth saw Carly she hide behind Alexis again grabbing on to the back of her suit holding on to her so tight that Elizabeth's knuckles were white. "We're fine Carly." Sonny answered.
Jason stood back and watched how Alexis went in autopilot when she saw Carly. He noticed how Alexis wrapped one arm around Elizabeth holding her even closer to her. She looked like a mother loin trying to protect her young. Jason frowned Elizabeth could hold her own with Carly why is she hiding behind Alexis like a scared five-year-old little kid. Sonny must have noticed it too because he looked over at Jason and gave a look that what the hell is that about.
Carly finally noticed Alexis standing there and was about to go off on her, 'Alexis is slut she's trying to get you back Sonny' triad but stopped short when she saw Elizabeth standing behind Alexis. But Elizabeth was supposed to be with Zander. "Well, well if it isn't little Miss goody-muffin face girl; what are you think your doing here shouldn't you be on a plane to Italy?" Carly watched as Sonny and Jason's eyes widen at her comment and knew she fucked up. How was she supposed to know Elizabeth was leaving town and to Italy too no less.
Before Sonny or Jason could comment Alexis had step forward. "If you or any of your associates come near her ever again I will kill you Carly." Sonny whirled around to Alexis and was about to tell her to lay off when he saw something flash through Carly's eyes that he didn't know what it was but he was going to find out so he kept quite.
"You think you're so smart since you have Sonny wrapped around your little finger and Jason as your big protector but you're not Carly. Do you why, because you're sloppy and stupid and you don't know how to play the game to win."
Jason was about to say something but Sonny must have sensed because he shook his head at Jason not to say anything.
"I'm stupid. I'm the one who's stupid. Right. You're stupid Alexis and so is Elizabeth she should've just went with Zander and never came back to PC." Carly spattered right back.
"You're right on one thing Elizabeth would've never came back after Zander was done killing her."
Jason and Sonny looked over at Elizabeth with shocked faces. Elizabeth had managed to release the hold she had on Alexis's suit but Alexis hadn't let go of Elizabeth so she was still pressed up against her.
"Did you really think that she wouldn't find out what Zander was up to? That she has been pretending to be with him for nothing? That she hurt Jason again for nothing? You're more stupid than I thought you were. Elizabeth been following around Zander for weeks watching him, listening to his conversations and she knows Carly she saw at the airport tonight with Zander talking about when the warehouse was going to taken care of. She knows all about you Carly, you and Zander."
Jason couldn't believe it here he thought that she wanted to be with Zander so he stepped aside to let her have what she wanted and he was sending her away with him and he was planing on killing her. Jason could kick himself he knew something was off he just couldn't figure out what it was. He looked over at Sonny to see him looking at Carly with hate, pure hate in his eyes.
"She knows nothing. She obviously making this up Zander would never hurt Elizabeth."
That was it Elizabeth had had enough. She pulled away from Alexis and move to stand in front of like she was the mama loin now.
"Right Carly and I'm just making it up that you told Zander to go to Alcazar to tell him Alexis was the perfect way to get to Sonny. That the fact that she was carrying his child would destroy him if anything happened to her. That Zander didn't almost beat you down for even suggesting it. That he would kill you himself if anything happened to Alexis."
Carly looked about to collapse on the floor by the time Elizabeth was done as well as Alexis and Sonny. Elizabeth turned around to face Alexis. "I'm so sorry Lex I didn't mean for that to come out." Elizabeth apologized.
"It's ok I was going to tell him tonight any ways." Alexis replied.
"Alex-Alexis is that true you're carrying my child?" Sonny asked.
"Yes it's true. I'm sorry I didn't tell you soon but with you back with Carly and everything else I-I was scared." Alexis said turning to face him.
No one notice Carly sneaking out of the police station until Jason took his eyes off Elizabeth who was looking down at the ground to ask Carly who Alcazar was. "Where did Carly go?" At Jason question Elizabeth's head shot up and over to where Carly was standing.
"Oh god she going to find Zander and-and-and-."
"Ssssh Elizabeth we'll find her don't worry I won't let her hurt you ever." Alexis stated while pulling Elizabeth into a fierce hug. Elizabeth took comfort in Alexis's embrace until she heard Jason's voice.
"I think we need to get out of here and someplace safe. Obviously there are players involved we had no idea about."
"Good idea Jason. Let's head over to Alexis's apartment. Is that ok Alexis?" Sonny asked.
"Yeah fine let's just go. Elizabeth got to get out of these wet closes."
Alexis released the hold on Elizabeth and followed Sonny out leaving Jason and Elizabeth staring at each other in the police station.
"I'm sorry." They both said at the same time.
"Elizabeth." Jason said stepping up to her. "I'm such an idiot. I should've known something was going on. I mean I did know I just couldn't figure it out."
"No Jason this is all my fault I should've never tried to get info on Zander. I lied to-."
Jason covered her lips with his fingertips quieting her apology. "Don't. It's ok Elizabeth. I'm not mad." Jason smiled and wrapped his arm around Elizabeth and lead her out of the station to Sonny's waiting limo outside to head back to Alexis's penthouse.
The limo ride back to Alexis's was quite, deadly quite. Sonny sat staring out the window trying to absorb everything he'd just heard. Carly working with Zander and Alcazar. It still boggled his mind. What 'bout Portuo Rico? Was it all a lie? Did she just set him up? It looked to be that way. Even though a part of him was screaming it couldn't be true Carly loves you, but Sonny had seen the way Elizabeth reacted to Carly and heard what she said and for some reason he believed Elizabeth about everything. Which was plaguing him even more. If he had been duped by someone like Carly and couldn't tell whom else could be involved that he had no idea about? He sighed loudly and tried to concentrate on Alexis and the fact that he was going to be a father.
Elizabeth had sat there trying to gauge what everyone was thinking and the only one she had no clue about was Alexis. She knew that Jason was sitting there blaming himself for almost sending Elizabeth off to her death. But the truth of the matter was that she never planned on leaving with Zander; sure she told herself she would but she knew somewhere deep down she wouldn't be able to leave Port Charles, leave Jason. And she knew Sonny was berating himself for letting Carly push herself back into his heart and play him the way she did. She suspected that's what hurt the most is that Sonny was willing to forget everything that Carly had done in the past and start new with her. He was ready to let everything go and for Sonny Elizabeth assumed was not something he did. Ever. She heard him sigh loudly and then he was staring at Alexis. Elizabeth had to bite the inside of her check to stop from giggling. She told herself that this wasn't the time or place for that matter, but it didn't help to see Sonny staring at Alexis like she was going to give birth right there in the limo. Sonny actually looked; well she couldn't think of the right word, maybe amazed or bewildered she didn't know but she knew she'd never seen him look like that before.
Then there was Alexis who had been staring down at her hands the entire ride. Elizabeth thought it looked like Alexis was scared to look up at Sonny, but Alexis Davis scared-of Sonny that she found had to believe. She had seen Alexis take on Sonny herself and tell him to keep his trap shut more times than she could count. Now it looked as though Alexis wanted nothing more than to crawl under a rock somewhere and never come out if it meant facing the all powerful godfather of the eastern seaboard, Sonny Corinothos. But that wasn't going to happen, they had problems and a lot of them more than they thought 2 hours ago.
They pulled up to Alexis penthouse and Jason was the first out of the car and motioned for everyone to stay put while he did a perimeter check. Five minutes later Jason came back. "Ok it's safe so let's get moving."
He held out his hand for Elizabeth to take and this time she didn't hesitate at the least just slipped her hand into his and step out of the limo. Next was Sonny who held his hand out for Alexis, but she refused it and stepped out without any help from him. Jason walked over to the divers window and knocked. Max rolled down his limo.
"Max I need you to call Francis and Johnny get them over here now I want Johnny at Alexis's door and Francis in the lobby checking everyone's ID before they get to go upside. Then I need you go by Bobbie's she'll be expecting you. Pick up Michael and bring him back here. Than I need you to call Benny have him start a search. I want Carly and Zander found NOW."
"Got it. No problem. Mr. Morgan what about clothes for Miss. Webber?"
"Right, when you stop to pick up Michael pick some closes up for Elizabeth. Her room is on the second floor third door to your left."
"Ok no problem sir."
"Good call me if anything comes up."
"Right."
Jason then headed back to Elizabeth, Alexis, and Sonny who were standing in front of Alexis's building.
"Ok I having Max call Johnny and Francis over here to guard the doors and elevator and then he'll go to Bobbie's pick up Michael and get some clothes for Elizabeth."
"Good now let's get inside I'm getting a weird feeling standing out here." Sonny replied.
They all headed in Sonny first with Alexis and Elizabeth following and Jason pulling up the rear. When they arrived Alexis's door was ajar Sonny who was first motioned for them to stop. Jason looked over at him and saw the door ajar.
"Alexis, Elizabeth get back behind me." Jason whispered.
Alexis who had seen the door pulled Elizabeth back behind her and backed them both up till Elizabeth was standing between the wall and Alexis's back. "Shouldn't I be the one standing in front you're the one who's pregnant." Elizabeth whispered in Alexis's ear. "SShh." Was her only reply.
Jason and Sonny burst through the door guns draw ready to shoot and were very surprised at what they saw. There sat on Alexis's couch was Kristina.
"Whoa there cowboys don't shoot." Alexis hearing her sister's voice ran through the door and stop dead in her tracks at seeing her sister.
"Hey Alexis. How are doing?" Kristina asked smiling ear to ear, while Alexis slowly started to walked towards her back from the dead sister.
"Alexis are you okay? You don't look so good." Sonny asked worriedly.
"Uh yeah I'm-I'm ok I-I." Then she fainted.
"Whoa there." Sonny said catching Alexis before she hit the floor. He picked her up taking her over and lying her down on the couch. Jason walked outside the penthouse to call Bobbie to tell her to be expecting Max to come by and pick up Michael and some of Elizabeth's clothes.
"The Spencer-Jones residence." Bobbie answered.
"Bobbie it's Jason."
"Jason how are you? Is something wrong?"
"I'm fine Bobbie. Listen Bobbie can you pack a bag for Michael and Elizabeth they both going to be staying with Sonny for a couple a days?"
"So I take it something wrong or Sonny would be calling and why is Elizabeth staying with Sonny? I don't think Carly's going to be to happy about that."
"It doesn't matter what Carly wants. Please Bobbie Max is going to be there soon, can you have Michael ready to go?"
"Yeah I guess. Jason are you and Sonny in danger because if you are maybe you should make Carly stay in town for awhile."
"Carlys leaving town. When?"
"She stop by about a hour ago. Said to take care of Michael that she didn't know how long she'd be gone for, but that she trusts you and Sonny to keep him safe. What's going on Jason?"
"Carly switched sides."
There was silence on the other end.
"Bobbie you still there?"
"Yeah I just I just can't believe it. Why would she do something so stupid, so dangerous as to trade side against Sonny!?! God what's wrong with her? Is Michael in danger because of her?"
"I think so and a lot of other people are like Elizabeth and Alexis. Maybe even Skye and Jax. Listen Max will be there soon just have everything ready."
"Okay no problem. Keep Michael safe and Elizabeth."
"Don't worry I WILL. And Thanks Bobbie."
