"Sonny, Ric Lansing here to see you." Johnny warned Mr. Corinthos.
Sonny downed his brandy, and waved him to let Ric in. Johnny held the door
open, and gave Ric a revolting look as he walked through the door. Sonny
stood before him silently.
"Is a Elizabeth here?" he began.
"Why?" he retorted. The longer he held out a solid answer the more he watched Ric squirm.
"She's missing."
Sonny poured himself another brandy, and walked over to him. Ric tried to stifle the chill that ran down his spine as Sonny began to circle him like a vulture.
"How do you know that? Are you stalking her? Correct me if I'm wrong. Ric, but isn't that illegal in Port Charles?" he asked coolly.
"I'm not stalking her. I went to talk to her today, and no one has seen her. "
"Maybe she got tired of your games Ric, and finally left you for good."
"No, she's missing!"
"What exactly do you want me to do about it? Bring her back to you? Like you brought back Carly to me? For all I know you have her locked in some room somewhere torturing her, but you're playing ti off like she's missing so you can get my sympathy. You're a sick man Ric Lansing. You abuse women. You manipulate people to get what you want. You sleep with trash. You think your life holds value Ric? You're wrong. You had one good thing, Elizabeth, which you didn't deserve, and you let it slip through your hands. Your life ended the day you came into Carly's. The heavens granted you mercy with Elizabeth, and you tried to kill her. What kind of man are you?"
"Sonny-"
"No! You don't get to say anything!" he took a sigh, and looked Ric straight in the eyes," That's the problem isn't it Ric. You're not a man, because a man has honor. A man has morals and loyalty. A man doesn't traumatize children and women. Watch your back Ric. Because everytime you're in a dark alley way, in a bar, or alone your room I'm there. Waiting for the perfect opportunity to to rid the world of you. My wife might have seen the good in you when you first came. Elizabeth might have seen it too. But to me, you're nothing."
Ric stood there unmoving for a moment, "I'm going to find her."
"For her sake I hope you don't."

Jason woke up to the feeling of weight on his chest. It startled him at first, but when he started to stir he realized it was Elizabeth. The events of last night played through his mind. Her saying she wasn't with Ric anymore. The way she looked coming out of the water. Her falling asleep on his chest. Her hair smelled like sweet strawberries. He breathed in the moment.
"Morning sleepy head," Liz teased without moving her head. She seemed quite content the way she was.
"How long have you been awake?"
She stretched like a cat, "Umm.about ten minutes. Not long."
He sat up, and grabbed a couple left over berries from the previous night. "If I remember correctly there is a city about three hours away. We need to go there, and see if we can find a boat. Then we'll go up the river. "
Liz rolled her neck from side to side, "Sounds like a plan."
The three hours seemed to drag on. Jason seemed about a million miles away, and Liz didn't want to interrupt. The silence was deafening.
"Jason, is everything okay?" He looked up startled. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"
"Nothing it's just that we're almost to the village and you've barely spoken two words. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. " He kept walking for a moment.
"I'm just thinking about Carly and Sonny. He needs her home. She needs to get back to him. Courtney needs me to come back to her." The comment about Courtney grabbed Liz's attention. He said her name like he was distancing himself from what he was saying. Like he wasn't the one that needed to come home to her.
She gently pulled him to a stop, and turned him to her. "What about you?"
"What about me?" he asked in confusion. She smiled with sad eyes.
"What do you need?" He was taken aback by her question.
He needed to find Carly. He'd always promised her that he keep her safe. He needed to leave all the weight that remained on his shoulders. There were a lot of tings he needed. He never voiced those needs, and he wasn't about to start. But most of all, he needed to stay in this moment, here, with Liz.
"To get everyone's life back to normal."
She searched his eyes for a moment. He wasn't lying, but he was holding something back. Her hand dropped from his arm, and she missed the warmth it held. Her heart saddened as she watched him walk away with the weight of the world upon him.

"A Lorenzo Alcazar here to see you Sir."
"Send him in." The guard stepped aside as the infamous drug lord entered the room.
"What can I do for you Senor?" the man asked. Lorenzo looked at him coldly, "I want to know what you've done, and are planning to do with Carly Corinthos and Elizabeth Webber." He was struggling to keep his cool. The man calmly looked Alcazar up and down.
"It is none of your concern. They are safe, for now. Keep up your in end of the bargain, and you'll get your money. "
"Where are they!"
"That is all Mr. Alcazar. The guard will see you out."
"Mr. Corinthos and Mr. Morgan are a dangerous men. When they comes looking for answers you'll be the one they'll come after."
"Not if I have the things they values most in life hanging in the balance."

That's all for now. Thanks for the awesome feedback. It really helps. So, it's not Alcazar whose the brains of the operation, so then who? Hmmm.wish I knew.( I hope to be able to put out a new chapter soon, but it might take awhile. My family is kind of busy right now. So, I'll try. You know the drill REVIEW!
