Chapter 9

Liz and Jason walk into the Penthouse. Liz runs up the stairs into the guest room and slams the door.

"Damn!" Mutters Jason. "This wasn't how it was suppose to go." He walks up the stairs. He knocks on the room he knows Liz is staying in since it is the exact same one that she stayed in before.

"Can I come in? We really need to talk about what is going on between us, especially if we are going to be staying in the penthouse together."

"Why? I know the rules already. There is stuff you can't tell me. Don't expect you to come home and don't expect any phone calls to let me know that you are alive and breathing." She turns her back to him.

"Liz we really do have to talk about this. There is stuff that you don't understand, things that we left unfinished. We have hurt each other so much, and I know that you out of everyone else I have been with would be able to understand the job if given the chance. I just don't know how to let you in. I wish I did. Liz, come on. Look at me. Liz we need to talk. If we don't do it today it will be one day soon when we do. This can't go on anymore. I need my friend back at least. I love you Liz. I know that you can hear me. You just aren't. Fine we won't talk about it now." He turns and walks out the door. Liz turns back to face the door. "I love you too Jason, that's the problem." She starts to cry.
