A/N: Now why would you ever think that Alison will catch onto the whole
inside-shirt incident? Speaking of that-couldn't you just see Rafe walking
around with his shirt inside out? Now there's an important thing I need to
post about the following Livvie scenes. There was a scene that was created
at one point, and then removed. Pretty much it went Frank told Jack that
he couldn't work at the Elixir, and wanted more time with Neil for right
now. Then Frank brought up missing blood, and then Jack left leaving
Livvie in charge of the place. Whew-that was a mouthful. Anywho-enjoy.
Until next time-PCGirl.

"Ok, I counted my supply, and I'm heading out," said Frank as he walked out from the back room. "Can you handle this until Jack gets back?"
"Yeah, I think I'll be fine. I'll keep an ear out for someone in the back. What if someone wants a mixed drink?" asked Livvie, as she had no idea how to pour drinks.
"Uhm, just tell them we don't start serving alcohol until 5," he said giving her a wave and heading out the door.
"Great, I hope they don't get mad at me for that," she said as she looked under the counter for something.
"Can I get some service here?" asked a voice at the bar. Livvie stood up and came face to face with Caleb. "Well, Olivia-now I know what your new job is," he smiled.
--------
"I'll be right back," he said as he pulled the car into Lucy's driveway. Alison had been released earlier, and on the way home they decided to stop and pick up the shirt.
"I can come in," she said getting out of the car. "They told me to take it easy, not be an invalid, Rafe." She looked at him, there was something he was worried about, but of course he wasn't going to tell her what was going on. She figured after they got home she would confront him with whatever it was.
"I just figured you'd want to sit, that's all."
"I've done enough sitting."
"Lucy, we're here," he said as he stuck his head inside the door.
"Hey Rafe. Hold on, let me get the shirt," she said as they watched her walk to the laundry room. "The lipstick came out pretty easy," she hollered as she walked into the living room, then seeing that Alison was with him.
"Lipstick?"
--------
"Thanks for meeting me here," said Reese as Jack walked up to her. "I figured that Chris might be more willing to listen to me if you were here."
"No problem, I should come over and visit my brother more often than I do," he said as he rang the doorbell.
"Did you have to close down the Elixir?"
"No, Livvie is running it right now. Hey, we're having a problem with someone taking from Frank's supply in the back. You don't know anything about it, do you?"
"I've only been back for a day now, how could I know anything?"
"Nevermind," he said as the door opened. "Hey Chris."
"What's this?" he said looking at one and then the other.
--------
"Can I get you something, Caleb? Perhaps a nice bloody steak, as that's the only way you're going to get any blood in your system right now."
"I was just coming over to see what you were up to lately. You've been getting in late, and I just wanted to make sure you were keeping the vows we made to each other."
"Are you actually thinking that I may have cheated you on? The only reason I have been avoiding you is because you won't tell me the truth. All you have to do is admit to me that Karissa is working for you, and then everything will be back to normal, ok?"
He leaned across the bar and looked straight in her eyes, "Well, what if I were to tell you she's not working for me."
"Then I'd say you were a liar," she said as she walked off to greet a customer.
------
"Did I say lipstick? I meant spaghetti," she said as she tried to remember what Ian had told her to say.
"There's a big difference between lipstick and spaghetti," said Alison as she took the shirt and looked at it. "Hmmm, no remnants of the spaghetti stain at all."
"I guess Lucy just has really good detergent," he said as Lucy mouthed the word sorry to him.
She looked at the collar next and was able to see the hint of a red stain, almost as if someone had kissed his shirt. She looked at him, and saw he was speechless. This was obviously what had been bothering him lately. Instead of starting a fight in the middle of Lucy's living room she turned around and left.
------
"We need to talk to you about Elizabeth," said Jack as they walked into the apartment.
"Elizabeth who?" asked Chris. He knew who they were talking about, but he didn't care anymore. The woman obviously had forgotten about everyone in Port Charles, so he was fine about forgetting about her.
"Barrington. You need to go to London for her."
"Why? Does she need to George to make another appearance at one of her elite social gatherings?"
"What are you talking about, Chris?" asked Jack.
"Nothing. I don't need to do anything for her, I've already done too much."
"We both know everything that Alison is going through right now, so why do you not want her mother to be here."
"Because she obviously doesn't care."
"You have no idea how wrong you are," said Reese.
------
"That's not very nice," he said giving her a pouty face as she returned to the bar.
"Well, I'm not a very nice person, am I? You know what, I'm busy running this place right now, and don't have time to talk, so why don't you just go find your girlfriend slash accomplice in crime and hang out with her for a bit."
"If that's how you feel, Olivia." He took her hand and gave it a kiss, and then left. She just stood there watching him walk past the window. It would be so much easier on everyone if he told the truth. He always said she needed to be honest with him, but where was the honesty when the tables were turned?
------
"Alison, wait," he shouted running out the door.
"Whose lipstick is it?" she hollered back, her hand on the door handle.
He sighed, "Karissa's."
"Oh your sweet friend from Transylvania. Maybe Livvie was right, this girl is obviously bad news."
"I don't know what's gotten into her, I swear. She came onto me last night right before I had my shower. I wasn't even wearing a shirt."
"Have you ever heard of the phrase stop while you're ahead, Rafe?" she said getting in the car and driving off.
He just walked back into Lucy's sighing. Looking up at her he asked, "Can you drive me home?"
-------
"I'm wrong? Then why don't you tell me what is so important that she can't come home."
"To make it short, she's being blackmailed in staying there. The only two people I think that will get her to come home are you and Alison. Alison is in no shape to fly across the Atlantic, so that leaves you. So what do you say?"
"That's a pretty lame excuse," he said as he stood in front of the other two.
"Then fine, let me add something. You've called Elizabeth since she's been gone, why did you keep calling her if you didn't want her in your life? You've finally found someone to be happy with again, don't blow it Chris."
"Fine, when is the next flight to London," he asked as he rubbed his hands over his face.
