Part 8 Recap

"I'm only going to say this once. I don't like it, but I understand and if at anytime you decided against I'll knocked her at and take her to a safe house."

"Don't worry Jason I'm not going to back out." She said without turning away from the sky.

"Here I thought that you were some goody-goody muffin face like that bitch Robin."

Elizabeth laughed at Carly's jab. "And I always told you that I'm nobody's angel."

Part 9

Elizabeth watched the distant from their boat to Alcazar's yacht getting closer and closer. They had watched Johnny and A.J. board the yacht 5 minutes ago. Sonny had been slowing taking a steady course to the yacht. Elizabeth figured he was trying to digest everything that he just found out. She sighed. Brenda was behind it all. Brenda planned her death. Brenda set up Skye's rape and then had Luis send the tape for Jax and Jason to see on Brenda's orders. Brenda was having that piece of shit Alcazar work over Zander with the intent to show him the tape of his mother getting rape afterwards then telling Zander who she was to him. Skye's Zander's mother. Elizabeth forwered her brows at that. She didn't know if she could believe that piece of info. Brenda obviously was crazy maybe she was trying to screw with his head.

"Ok lets go." Sonny said jarring Elizabeth out of her thoughts she looked up and saw they were stopped right next to Al's yacht in front of them was the boat Johnny was driving.

"Where's Johnny and A.J.?" Carly asked.

"Right here." A.J. answered looking down at them.

Carly rolled her eyes. "Great just when I was hoping you had gotten shot."

A.J. stick out his tongue at her and smiled. "You ain't that lucking sweetheart."

"Don't call me sweetheart." Carly fumed.

Jason cut off A.J.'s reply. "Stop you two I think we came here to done something. So let's go."

Everyone exited the boat and climbed on the yacht. By the time Elizabeth was pulled on deck by Jason Johnny was walking up.

"Ok." Johnny whispered. "There's guards everywhere down stairs. A.J. and I have taken out the five that were patrolling the deck but so someone going to start to miss them, so we got to get moving."

"It look's like Alcazar's holding Zander two floors down in his study." A.J. said.

"Oh, and how do you know that?" Carly asked.

Sonny was still reeling from the information that A.J. had "taken out guards" but Carly's asked her question pulling him back into the conversation. "Yeah how do you know?" Sonny asked also.

It was A.J. turn to roll his eyes. "Unlike Conan over there." He said pointing to Johnny. "I don't just shot them, I sneaked up on the two I took down and listened to what they were talking about and boy do they not like Brenda. Said she was a 'crazy fucking bitch' exact words. Said that the crazy bitch was torturing some guy in Al's study on the second floor and he just letting it happen."

"Shit!" Carly yelled.

"Sssshh." Sonny scolded.

"Sorry." Carly replied sheepishly.

"A.J.'s right he has a study on 2 that I remember from being on his yacht last time." Jason said.

"Ok so I go first, then Jason and Elizabeth, then Johnny and A.J. and Carly. Everyone got that?" Sonny asked.

"Yeah, but Jason and I are going first then A.J. and Johnny, then you and Carly." Elizabeth argued.

"Elizabeth." Sonny started.

"No." Elizabeth furiously whispered. "You too close to this Sonny. Brenda's the first thing we have to deal with in there; she's the loose cannon that we don't what she capable of doing."

Jason snorted. "Oh I think we know what's she capable of. Anything. But Elizabeth's right she's the first thing that needs to be handle and since Elizabeth's the one that's taking care of it she and I go first." Jason finished in a tone Sonny knew meant the end of the conversation and argument. Jason was pulling rank on Sonny, Sonny might be the mob boss or godfather whatever term you like but Jason was the boss of keeping the boss safe and unharmed. Whatever was going to happen in there it was going to happen to him first.

They all line up single file along the side of the boat: Jason first, then Elizabeth, Johnny, A.J., Carly, and Sonny bought up the rear. "Ok let's go."

Jason lead them the down the deck to the stairs that lead to the floors beneath. Elizabeth's heart was pounding in her head. She didn't know if she could go through with killing Brenda. Ever since Jason told her on the boat that he would handle it she'd wanted to stop him and tell him to do it for her; but then she remembered all the shit that that fucking psycho bitch put of them through.

All she had to do was think of the look on Alexis's face when she showed up at her apartment. Alexis morning a sister that wasn't even dead, then she thought of Felicia who was dead and of Mac who was push to breaking point because of it that he blew up and took Roy with him.

Everything flash in front of Elizabeth's eyes including the look of betrayal on Sonny's face when Jason opened the penthouse door earlier that morning to a crying Carly, the look when he told Alexis how sorry he was, the pain and self-loathing that crossed over his face stop Elizabeth's heart. Her heart broke for him at that moment. The pain he was dished out all his life had come back and bit him in the ass. He'd almost lost Alexis before he realized she was the love of his life. He almost his everything. At least that's the way she'd feel if she lost Jason.

Then she flashed on all the pain and angst that had been dished out to her and Jason because of Zander's and Carly's orders from Alcazar. Finally her mind stopped at Skye and why they were there and suffering that she endured on this yacht just hours ago from the man downstairs, the pain that everyone especially Jax, Jason, and A.J. went through watching it, the look of utter hopelessness that cross Skye's face when Luis said to her, (i)"He won't come for you. He'll be dead by the end of the week and as for your brother and Corinthos they don't care at all. I bet I could keep you down here and have my way with you for as long as I want and NO ONE would come for you."(i)

Elizabeth knew that look on Skye, she believed no one would come for her and that was bad. Skye could go so deep into her mind to avoid being hurt by Luis again that they may never get her back. And with that last thought Elizabeth had made up her mind that fucking bitch was dead and she was the one who would do it.

Jason turned around and glanced at everyone then speaking to Elizabeth and Johnny he said. "Ok were on the second deck I notice two guards patrolling the deck above us and from here I can see two standing outside what I would take as Alcazar's study and two more around the corner there." He pointed to his left. "If we could take out those two guards there the hall will loop back around to Al's study coming in behind the guards watching the door so we'll get the drop on them."

"Ok me and A.J. will first and take down the guards around the corner then motion when the coast is clear for you and Elizabeth to head around to take the other two leaving Sonny and Carly to watch the staircase and our backs."

"Excuse me since when do I get excluded from this and since when does Johnny give the orders not to mention Elizabeth?" Sonny asked angrily.

"Since one of the people behind that door is someone that you were totally in love with." Carly stated the obvious.

"I'm in love with Alexis." Sonny spat at her.

"Enough. Carly's right you can't go in there." Elizabeth said.

"But.." Sonny started.

"Sonny." Elizabeth interrupted. "Tell could you handle me walking in there and watching me put a hold in Brenda's head, because if you honestly tell me you can I'll let you go before me."

Sonny went to say of course he could, when he realized that Brenda was alive and in five minutes she would be dead again and Elizabeth was going to be the one to kill her. He snapped his jaw shut and turned his head away from Elizabeth's knowing glare.

"Ok so Johnny and A.J. go do your stuff." Elizabeth said grinning at them. Johnny rolled his eyes and let A.J. go first and make sure that the hall was clear.

Elizabeth looked over at Jason who was standing next to A.J. looking and waiting for the guard patrolling the hallway to go back to Alcazar's door. She looked back at Johnny and whispered. "Be careful Conan, if anything were to happen to you Emily would kill me so watch your back." Johnny's eyes widen and Elizabeth gave him a knowing smile, so he just nodded and walked up behind A.J. He just in time to here Jason words to his brother.

"Be careful man. Watch your back. If Johnny tells you to leave you leave. Mom and Dad not to mention Emily and Skye would really miss you man. So be CAREFUL. I know you want revenge for Skye but don't get cocky you have family that loves you and would miss you." A.J. shrugged off the concern seeing the hall clear he spoke. "Whatever. You ready." He said to Johnny. Johnny nodded his head and went first down the hall around the corner first checking his line of sight.

A.J. was next and edge around the corner to go when Jason grabbed his arm. "I'm serious A.J. be careful." A.J. seeing the real concern in his brother's face for his well being simply nodded and turned to go, when Jason parting words stopped him again. "I would miss you too brother." Then A.J. fled down the hall.

Jason turned to see three pairs of wide surprised eyes. "Don't say anything." Jason grumbled. Sonny smirked and turned to check the stairs again. Carly just let her mouth open and close until Elizabeth elbowed her. "I had to say something." He whispered to himself. "Just look at what happened to Skye and I hadn't said anything. I had to say something." He glanced down the hall waiting for Johnny's signal for all clear. "I had to. If something were to happen to him and I hadn't. I just had."

Elizabeth touched his arm silencing him. She pulled on the sleeve of his jacket so he would turn, when he did she hugged him, whispering to him. "You told him. It's okay. Everything will be okay." She soothed.

Jason released her and looked back down the hallway. He could still see the guards watching Alcazar's door to the right slightly around the corner, he looked to the left and still nothing. "This is taking too long I'm going to go over. Stay here Elizabeth." Jason said.

"No. You go I go." Elizabeth argued.

Jason turned half way toward Elizabeth still keeping one eye on the hall. "Elizabeth." He began when he heard a hiss sound of Johnny signaling that the coast is clear. Jason looked back at Carly and Sonny. He caught Sonny's eyes and spoke. "We're going. Stay here and watch the stairs kill anyone that comes up or down. If we're not back in 15 minutes take Carly and leave. Understand." Sonny just nodded, but in his head he was telling himself that there was no way he was leaving his best friend or anyone else on this boat and if that meant dragging all their dead bodies off and then sinking the yacht so be it.

"Be careful Jason. You too Elizabeth." Carly said genuinely concerned surprising all three of them by her tone.

Elizabeth just nodded and followed Jason down the hallway and around the left corner.

~*~

A.J. followed the way Johnny went down the hallway and around the corner. Seeing no one thinking Johnny went on ahead down the hall scouting for Jason he followed.

"Johnny you here." A.J. whispered fanatically for him when the next hallway was empty.

He continued down the hall when he heard a groan thinking it could be a guard Johnny shot he clicked off the safety of his 9MM and point it in front of him. He checked each room down the hall hearing the groaning getting louder he hurried down the hall to the next room. When he glanced in he felt bile raise in his throat. On the floor was Johnny shot lying in a pool of his own blood, about 5 feet away was a bodyguard dead also lying in a pool of blood. And on the walls in front of him were the splattered remains of the guard's brains. A.J. stood there in a trance looking from the guard with no head to the brains, blood, and bones sliding down the wall. Johnny groaned again causing A.J. to finally snap out of his trance in two strides he was next to Johnny kneeling down.

"How are you doing Conan?" A.J. asked using the nickname he made up for the huge guard trying to lighten the mood.

"Great, you know. Figured I needed a vacation and since the easiest way to get one working for Sonny was to get shot I thought I try it out." He coughed and blood came out of his mouth.

"Shit." A.J. said seeing the blood unable to stop the smirk that crossed his face at the bodyguards reply.

"Ok we got to get you out of here." A.J. said looking around for something to help stop the bleeding. Seeing nothing he took off his bulletproof vest and ripped off the shirt underneath and slapped the vest back on.

"No. Go now. Jason told you to leave if I said leave." Johnny spoke while A.J. ignored him and placed the now folded shirt over the chest wound that Johnny suffered from.

"I'm telling you to leave damn it. Go and tell Jason the coast is clear, just hiss at him and tell them that all the guards on this side and take care of." Johnny tried to continue but it was getting harder to breath.

"Would you shut up damn it." A.J. yelled trying to get a handle on the blood pumping out of the wound.

"It's bad, ok man. I'm dying."

Hearing the acceptance in the guard's voice A.J. looked at him and released the shirt. "You know," Johnny continued having gotten A.J.'s attention. "the best thing that ever happened to me was meeting Sonny and working for him. Him and Jason showed me what real family was like. They showed me what loyalty really was. Them and the other employees were my family and my friends. But you know what so funny about it is that that's not the reason why meeting Sonny was the best thing that ever happened to me, it's because if I had never meet Sonny I would have never work for him and Jason, and I would have never been sent to guard Emily." Johnny coughed again; more blood flowed down his chin.

A.J. eyes widen. "You know my sister?" Then taking in what Johnny was saying realization dawned on him. He grabbed the shirt and pressed harder down on the wound. "I can't let you die. Oh god, Johnny why didn't you say anything to us. Jesus Emily will never forgive me. Oh god just don't die. Don't die. Don't die." A.J. kept repeating it until Johnny's laid his hand on top of A.J.'s getting his attention again.

A.J. looked into Johnny's eyes and saw something he hadn't seen in years directed at him.

Trust.

"Tell her I love her and not to be sad. I just want her happy and to live. Please tell her I always love her." The guard's eyes filled with tears and he squeezed A.J.'s hand tighter. "Please tell her she was the last thing I thought of. Please tell her." Johnny implored. Seeing A.J.'s tear stained face nodding he let the darkness take him.

A.J. wipe the tears from his face and wrenched himself away from Johnny disgusted at himself for letting the guard die. No he told himself for letting the man that loved his sister die. His heart broke for Emily then; the amount of love Johnny showed for his sister humbled even him. He wonder oddly what it must feel like to have someone love you like that? Then tears flooded his eyes again because he was going to have to go to his sister and be the one to tell her she would never feel that again from the man laying on the floor.

A.J. walked out of the room leaving both guards on the floor dead. He retraced his feet back to where Jason and everyone else were waiting. They still had things to do and people to kill A.J. reminded himself, his sister was still here along with Emily's ex-boyfriend. He got to the corner and hissed.

~*~

When Jason and Elizabeth both made it around the corner they looked up to see A.J. retreating form walking back down to the next hallway. Jason and Elizabeth ran after confusion coloring both their faces. Johnny was supposed to be the one hissing at them and with that thought Elizabeth ran passed Jason speeding down the hall after A.J.

She finally caught up to him and grabbed his arm spinning him around to face her. "What's going on A.J.? Where's Johnny?" Elizabeth asked panicking. A.J. didn't speak just looked down at Elizabeth's hand that was laying on his arm. Elizabeth followed his gaze and her eyes widen at the sight of A.J.'s arm and now her hand covered in blood. She wrenched her hand away from A.J. just as Jason was stopping behind them. She grabbed on the corners of A.J.'s vest and shook him.

"Where is he A.J.? Tell me damn it, where is Johnny? Whose blood is that? Damn it! Answer me!" Elizabeth yelled tears steaming down her face because she already knew the answers to the questions.

Jason pulled Elizabeth off of A.J. when he saw the shape his brother was in. Only then did he answer Elizabeth's questions. "He's dead. One of the guards shot him. This." He said holding up his hands in front of him. "is Johnny's blood. He's dead and soon so will my sister."

Elizabeth stopped fighting against Jason when she heard the last of A.J.'s statement. "What am I going to tell her?" He asked.

Jason let go of Elizabeth and she immediately hugged A.J. and said. "You tell her that he loved her more than anything, that he died trying to save others, and that you did everything you could to help him." She finished on a sob.

A.J. nodded his head against Elizabeth shoulder and released her. "I'm sorry Jason." He said looking at his brother how was trying to hide the pain of losing such a close friend, no family member A.J. told himself.

Jason nodded. "We'll grieve later first things first. Is the area secure? Can we proceed to Alcazar's study?"

A.J. nodded and lead the way down the halls leading to Alcazars study.

~*~

"Would you stop fidgeting you're getting on my nerves?" Sonny scolded Carly.

"How long have they been gone." Carly asked again.

Sonny looked at his watch and replied. "Exactly one minute later than the last time you asked. Relax Carly Jason is the best at what he does." Carly rolled her eyes at Sonny's automatic reply it was the same thing Jason always told her word for word.

"Well he wasn't always the best. That Christmas he wasn't." Carly retorted.

"Shut up and look out to see if you can see them yet."

Carly looked out to the right and she could still see the two guards around the corner but no Jason or Elizabeth. She was about to tell Sonny no sign of them when she saw one of the guard's dropped to the ground. Then Jason was there with his gun point at the remaining guard what surprised Carly was that Elizabeth was the one standing in front of him with her 9MM point directly at the groin of the guy. "Sonny." Carly whispered waving Sonny over.

Sonny peered around the corner and his eyes widen. Elizabeth was now pulling the guard down the hall towards them by the balls literally. They stopped halfway down and it was just enough so Sonny and Carly could hear what she was saying.

~*~

"Where are you keeping Skye Quartermaine?" Elizabeth asked in a cold voice.

There was no answer from the guard. Elizabeth reached into her pocket and pulled out a black bandana and shoved it in the guards mouth then proceed to shot him in the knee. The guard screamed through the bandana, Elizabeth placed the gun next to his dick again and cocked the gun.

"Now that was to show you I mean business. I don't have too much time so I'll ask again before I blow your dick off. Are you going to tell me where Skye Quartermaine is?"

The guard nodded his head. Jason grabbed the bandana and pulled it out of the guard's mouth his gun still aimed at the man's head.

"She's-she's down stairs. In the-the room nex-next to to the engine room." The guard replied.

Elizabeth nodded her face a mask not showing any indication that she believed him or not she just moved on. "Is the kid still in the room with Luis and the psycho bitch."

"Yes."

"Are there any guards in there with them."

"No."

"Good. I believe you, because if I didn't you would be in even more pain now instead of just dead." And with that said she raised her gun and shot the man in his head.

~*~

Sonny could believe his eyes. The way Elizabeth handle that was well, he had only seen one other look like that, work like that, and that was Jason.

"Jesus did you see that the way she just blew his fucking head off. I mean damn I didn't know she had it in her. She'll have no prob. with Brenda." Carly stated with a huge smile spreading over her face. "Look there headed in Sonny. And where's A.J.?"

~*~

"Ok you ready? As soon as you get a clear shot of her take it. You got it, as soon as possible?" Jason quizzed her.

"Yes Master Yoda." Elizabeth quipped.

"Ok on the count of three I go first. One, two, three." And he kicked the door opened.
