Lizzi Borden: Red Eyed

Liz got the information she needed and went to get Carly back. Warned not to go alone she did anyway, sure that some of Sabeans best were tracking her. It was a warehouse own by Sonny and sublet by a dummy corporation. Obvious, Carly had been gone all of 24 hours and Sonny and the cops had nothing. Right under Sonny's nose was the bastards MO, an 'I'm smarter then you' tactic which only had one counter. Out and out brute force, so she got to the warehouse. She was sure he was already on a plain knowing that she was coming. A gun clicked behind her, or it could be a trap.

"You said you'd call Sonny."

Liz growled swung around hard knocking Jason into the wall with a thud he grunted and bounced back. Liz used it against him, flipping him onto the floor and putting a knee in his chest. He growled at her *is this what he's like when working?* she narrowed her eyes and put her gun to his face.

"Think twice." She said slowly.

He looked up at her then she looked up and before he could say something she was gone and he had an automatic in his face.

"Get. Up." The man in black said.

He looked around for Liz she was gone. No trace that she was even there. He was pushed into room and the door was locked behind him. He looked around it was solid no windows one door. *Damn.*

Liz fallowed them in and took note on Jason location. Then she fallowed the other guy who checked on Carly. She was on him in a second and before he could cry out his head hit the metal door with a crack. Carly sat with her wrist bleeding from the wire and hood was damp form her breathing and tears.

"Carly?"
"Elizabeth." She said in a trembling voice.
"Yes. Listen to me I'm going to get you out of here."
"No. Its a trap he wants you he's sick."

Liz removed the hood. Carly's eyes adjusted she breath deep and sighed.

"He wants you. He the one who tortured you isn't he?"
"That was foreplay for him. This is a minor inconvenience. Trust me, I've been in one of his real torture seasons you got off easy. Now I going to take you outside then get Jason."
"Jason?"
"Yes. Come on. Walk two feet behind me, stop when I tell and hug the wall alright."
"Yes."

Liz walked out with Carly behind, two men moved in to stop them she punched one in the face and side kicked the other. She moves forward and stopped long enough to put the silencer on her gun. She shot both guards and made it to the door opening it a black SUV waited. She opened the door and shoved Carly inside. It drove off, she turned around and headed for the room Jason was in.

Jason heard yells and gunshots, then the door opened he was ready launch himself at who ever it was; he stopped when he saw Liz. She was holding her shoulder she nodded and walked over to her.

"It's dislocated, I swear this arm was made only for ART!!" She screamed when Jason reset it.

She nodded a thank you and they headed out. The front door was blocked with more men. They backed away and moved to the back door that opened to the old wooden docks. They moved fast as they heard the men coming behind them barking at each other. Gunfire went off, they took cover and shot back, and "Clear out." one yelled. Liz looked up, hearing the boots of the retreating men on the old wood, made it all clear "Shit." She grabbed Jason and they headed of the father end of old dock.

The explosion went off much to her nightmare half the smaller building went down with the old dock. She felt a massive weight hit her and the dock go down. Then she felt strong arms around her and then she fell into darkness.

She was cold and something hurt more then likely that damn arm again. Oddly enough she was comforted by the soft sounds of moving water. She opened her eyes to look at a leather-covered back.

"Jason?"
"Your awake, your not hurt anywhere that I can see, just stuck. I would have dragged you out by the water. But I could hear them looking for us, so I waited."
"Go idea. Are they gone?"
"Yes can you swim?"
"Yes."
"There's an opening under you squeeze out and then help me."
"Okay."

Liz pushed herself through the opening it was tight and she knew it would be tight for him. She swam to the surface first and then she went back.

"Okay."

Jason went down head first into the water and she pulled. He was stuck, she signaled that she was going for air, then came back and kissed him giving him air. Then she put her foot against the concrete slab and pulled. Jason slid lose; they move fast when the slab began to slid further in the water. They popped under what was left of the dock. They could hear the men and then the police, Liz shivered the water was freezing cold. But they waited. As they floated he looked at her.

"Tell me."
"Here?"
"Yes."

He pulled her close to him and she held on to the post for the both of them.

"I was fourteen and hated Sarah with a passion. I would party hard Germany has the greatest clubs in the world. I met this guy he was older 20 -21, he took me out back and I watch this deal go down. It went bad and they pulled guns, he got shot and passed me the gun. He told me to use it or die, so I did, didn't blink I just killed the other guy. I help him to his car and drove me home. Told me not to tell anyone.

Two days later the bastard show up at my school and says he recruiting for an international training program, I was a candidate. We trained for 8 months then one day they took us out to the middle of nowhere, there were two rooms and 6 of us. People got eliminated along the way. Three went in one room and three went into the other, a voice come on. It said only one walks out alive knives were shown to us. We thought it was a joke, and then gas started to fill the room. We picked up the knives; I was the only one that walked out. The other was covered in blood, as soon as he walked out he got a bullet to the head."

She pauses when he started. Then continued.

"I found out later it was style the bastard was looking for not brute force my style was convincing one to help kill the other. Then I turned on the other." She looked into his eyes as usual they were un-judging.

"I got my first assignment three weeks later. It was complete fuck up but the target was dead. The second went well and the third I was so good I got the nickname Casper the baby ghost. I was 16 on my last hit, her name was Vic Rasanko, by this time I knew I wasn't working for the government so I made a deal, I kill the hardest to kill and I was out. He agreed, see Vic started out at 14 to but she was better. I walked into that bar in Baja and got the wake up call of my life. She beat the shit out me and told me the truth all my hits were witness against him."

She shivered then felt him move he swam away and nodded they got out of the water and headed to china town. They slipped into the back door and up to her apartment. They got undress in the bathroom and turned on the hot water. Once the bath was run she looked at him, he got in and she got in with him, leaning against his chest. She sighed.

"A week later after I clean up everything. I walked into Port Charles."

Jason didn't say anything. He pulled her head back and kissed her passionately.
