Note: I love liason, I hate that Jason and Liz were split. I want to throttle the writers for the whole Rick Liz thing. Courtney fans beware; I'm no Barbie doll. Sonny didn't fight for Jason to break up with Courtney; he encouraged the relationship, anything for his baby sister, despite what it did to Elizabeth. Jason and Courtney have always had a rough relationship, fighting about everything, including his job. Elizabeth isn't pregnant and she left Rick for good after the whole panic room incident and then left town. No one's heard from her since.

This picks up where the story left off on 4/12/04

Through the pain in his head he struggled to wake. He could feel the spot where she hit him; he'd have a nasty bump on his head soon enough. He winced when he turned his head too quickly. Slowly, he propped himself up on his elbow, taking stock of the room and blinking back a wave of nausea. Courtney and Alcazar were gone.

He wasn't surprised. He saw through her recommitment earlier, he knew better. She hadn't been the same Courtney in a long time. He knew she was letting Alcazar use her docks. Apparently he hadn't given Faith all his territory.

Jason still had trouble believing it. He knew the facts; he knew Courtney was working with Alcazar against him and Sonny; he knew Alcazar was using Carly; he knew Courtney was O.K. with that, but he didn't understand any of it.

And Sonny, he was too busy with his personal life to see anything anymore. It was dangerous to work for him. Sure, Jason's job was dangerous; it called for him to risk his life. But now the orders he was following were coming from a man he barely recognized anymore. It'd been a long time since he had fully trusted Sonny, and the situation hadn't been improving. Ever since Luis showed up, and then Lorenzo, Sonny was off.

As Jason tried to push through the fog in his mind he got to his feet and went over to sit on Carly's couch, not hearing the door close behind him.

"Hey."

Jason looked behind him to see Sonny, he bowed his head in preparation for what he knew was coming. "Hey."

"Carly showed up at the pent house with the boys. Turns out Alcazar told her he placed the bomb in my limo and she knocked him out and has had him locked in the basement." Sonny said coming over to sit next to Jason, only after grabbing himself a scotch from the wet bar.

"That sounds like Carly."

"Aren't you going to go down and take care of Alcazar?"

"He's not downstairs." Jason rubbed his hands over his face, not knowing how to do this.

"Why isn't he downstairs?"

Because your sister is a traitorous whore. But he couldn't say that.

"He's with Courtney." The look on Sonny's face encouraged him to explain more. "I don't know what happened, or when, but Courtney hasn't been herself for a long time. She doesn't talk to me anymore, hell we are getting divorced. But, she, Sonny she's working with Alcazar. He still has a lot of his territory; he's been using her docks. He's been using Carly to get to you. He wants to destroy you. I followed Courtney here, the basement flooded and she got Alcazar out, I tried to take over and she hit me on the head with something, I don't know what. They're gone Sonny." Jason waited for it.

Sonny stood up, gripping his glass tightly.

"When the fuck were you planning on telling me Jase? After he'd destroyed me? What the hell were you thinking?" Sonny yelled.

"I was thinking you didn't trust me about Rick, so why would you trust me about this." Jason countered.

"You're not gonna let that one go anytime soon are you? Jesus Jase! She's my little sister for Christ's sake! She's your fucking wife! You just let all this happen? You let that bastard get to her?"

"I didn't let anything happen. In case you hadn't noticed I've had a lot going on the lately. Maybe if you weren't so busy messing with Sam's head you'd notice what was going on around you."

"Dammit Jason. Leave Sam out of this. This is business; she's not a part of it. This was something you should have taken care of. You fucked up." Sonny said filling another glass.

"Glad to see you're not blaming yourself for everything anymore." Jason's sarcasm caused a Sonny to turn around sharply and throw his glass at Jason, missing of course. "Nice shot, why don't you try again?"

"You didn't keep me informed on what was going on."

"You never asked."

"When did you get like this?" Sonny asked, anger gone and now just confusion.

"When did I get like what?"

"When did you get to hate me?"

It started when you had me lying to the woman I loved-love. "I don't hate you Sonny, I just don't know what I can tell you anymore." When I wanted to go after her and you wanted me to move on to your sister.

"We need to find them."

"I've had Max tailing her, and Jacob's watching the airports, buses and trains. They won't get anywhere without us knowing." Jason said sighing, couldn't spend too much time on their friendship could he? Before Sonny could respond Jason's phone rang. "Morgan....O.K.....you know what to do.....no, let Sonny deal with that....Thanks Jake." Jason closed his phone and looked up at his boss. "That was Jacob, he's got Courtney and Alcazar. He'll kill him, do what you want with Courtney, just have her sign these." Jason said handing Sonny an envelope.

"What's this?"

"Divorce papers. Have her sign them and then have Justus file them."

"What are you going to do?"

"Travel, I need to get out of here."

"Jase-"

"No Sonny, don't. I've done so much for you since I came back. I married a heartless bitch, Sonny. I've lost you, I've lost Courtney," I've lost Liz , "fix your marriage, take care of your sons, do what you want with Alcazar and Courtney, I need to be gone for awhile." Jason walked by Sonny without waiting for a response, out the door and onto his motorcycle. He was gone.
