Chapter 8

Kelly's Right after Carly walked out.

Liz picks her head up and thinking to herself, "Why is it so hard to see him. Man I wish I had the nerve to just tell him what I want to."
"Hey Liz?"
"Yeah," She looks at where the voice came from. "Oh Sonny I didn't hear you walk in. You just missed Carly, Jason, and Michael. They just left not 5 minutes ago."
Sonny replied," That's ok, I just talked to Jason not that long ago and I live with Carly, I need the break from her." Liz Smiles. "Ha! Girl I new that would get a smile out of you. So what were you mumbling about when I came in?"
"Oh Nothing important. Just how chicken I am when it comes to a certain person we both know." Sonny shakes his head thinking to himself,' Man if Only I knew a way to get them talking maybe things would come around for them.' He looks at Liz,"Hey before I forget I'm putting a guard on you. It's for my sense of mind. I don't want anything to happen to you. I am going to have Francis, Johnny, and Max rotate shifts." Liz glares at Sonny." Is that really necessary? I mean you are the only one I talk to. Jason just stares he can't say more than Hi and place an order it seems to me. I don't think you have anything to worry about."
"Liz please for me take the guards, I would feel much better if you did." Liz looks at Sonny and he gives her the dimpled grin."Ok Sonny you win. I will take the guard. I still don't think it's necessary but if you think so then fine." She shakes her head. Just then the phone rings. Penny answers it. "Liz phone for you." Liz nods her head and goes to the phone.
"Hello, is this Elizabeth Webber?"
"Yes, may I ask who this is." Now Sonny's attention is turned toward her.
I'm sorry to inform you that Tom Baker has escaped from Prison earlier today. I just wanted to let you know."
"You didn't answer my question who is this???" Liz yells.
"I work at the Prison I am the Warden there." Liz slams the phone down.
"Liz are you OK??" Sonny asks worried.
"Yeah I am perfectly fine I just am beginning to think the guards are a good idea though." Liz stated.
Sonny looks at Liz," I don't mean to pry, but what was that call about you seem to be shaken up." Liz looks at Sonny.
" That was the Warden at the Prison Tom Baker was in, he said--" Sonny interrupts." Was in??" "Yeah he escaped earlier today and they called to inform me." "That's it you are coming home with me now. You are not going to be by yourself until Tom is taken care of." "Sonny that isn't necessary, you are assigning guards to me I can continue to live my life." Sonny stares at Liz, "Hun this is NON-Negotiable. You are going to be under my personal protection until Tom is dealt with and dealt with the right way. When do you get off work?" "I am done in about 2 hours why?" "Crap I have a meeting, I am calling Jason he is going to be hear until either I am done with my meeting or until you are off work then you will be staying at the Towers with me. We will figure out if you are staying with Jason or Me when we get there." "No offense Sonny but I think if I stayed with you I would kill your wife." Sonny laughs,"Yeah there are many times I want to kill her myself. We will decide that later. I need to call Jason." He stands up and walks outside. Penny comes over," Hun if you need to leave go ahead. It has been dead all day anyway." "No Penny I will be fine. He is just overreacting." Sonny comes back in. "Jason will be here in 5 minutes he was just dropping Carly and Michael off at the Penthouse when I called. There is no sense in arguing with me. I am thinking about assigning Jason as your Guard instead of the other guys." "Sonny that isn't necessary, Max, Johnny, or Francis will be fine. I am sure you need Jason for other stuff." "Well for now you get Jason the rest are busy right now." Liz nods her head. Just then Jason walks in. "What's up Sonny? Why did you need me to hurry down here as fast as I could?" Jason asks. Sonny looks at Jason. "You are to stay here until Liz gets off work or I get here which ever comes first. Then she is coming back to the penthouse." "Why?" Jason asked. He looks at Liz who is trying to hide how shaken she actually is. "Liz what is wrong? What is going on? You are scaring me. You look pale. Will someone tell me WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??" "Jason calm down." Sonny says. "Tom Baker escaped from Jail today and she was just informed. I am not having her stay by herself until he is dealt with." Jason looks at Sonny. "That creep is out and you expect me to calm down. Sonny he could be coming after her as we talk. Liz we are leaving RIGHT NOW!!" Jason yells. Liz looks at Jason. "I don't think so, I have about an hour and a half left on my shift and I am not leaving Penny short handed with Courtney quitting more work has been put on me and Penny already. I am not ducking out on her now. I will leave when my shift is over and NOT BEFORE!" Liz yells back. Sonny shakes his head. "Well, I got to jet I got to get to my meeting. Jason watch out for her and Liz don't give him to hard of a time. He cares about you and he isn't sure how to show it." Sonny gets up to leave. Penny comes over to Liz, "Hun I just got off the phone with Bobbie. She told me to tell you to get out of here. This isn't going to do you any good being here. There are 2 people in here and Tammy is due in 20 minutes anyway, I will be fine." Liz looks at Penny. Penny nods her head. "FINE!" Liz states. Lets go Jason. I guess I am staying with Sonny and Carly for a while. "Why are you staying with them? I have a guest room you can stay in." "Jason no offense we haven't been friends in awhile. I would rather stay with Sonny." "NO Liz I am putting my foot down, you are staying with me and there are no arguments. We can stop by the studio and you can pack some clothes and some art supplies and then back to my penthouse we go. I will call Sonny and tell him you are staying with me." "Don't I get a say in this?" Liz asks. "NO you don't you are staying with me and if Sonny or I are not around you will have another guard that is Final. I am not risking your life because you have to be stubborn. This time I am going to be more stubborn than you." Jason states as they walk out of Kelly's.
