Chapter 16.

Hotel Lobby:

Francis is stationed someplace that he can spot the door but he can't be spotted. He starts muttering to himself.

Francis: Yeah put Johnny on the door and make me sit at the hotel all day waiting for Ms. Rambo Barbie to come in. Just then he spots a man that looks somewhat familiar walk in with a girl that he knows he should recognize. He grabs the folder he has and starts flipping through photos trying to place who those people are. He comes across Tom Bakers photo.

Francis: Shit I need to call Sonny. He digs out his cell phone.

Francis: Sonny, it's me. WE have a major problem

Sonny: What's the problem?

Francis: Tom Baker is in town. I just saw him walk in with some blond that wasn't Courtney. She looks familiar though. He states as he continues flipping through the folder. All of a sudden he comes across the picture of Sarah. Damn Sonny, it's worse than we thought.

Now Sonny is worried.

Sonny: Tell me Francis. What is it?

Francis: DO you remember a Sarah Webber?

Sonny: Yeah that is Liz's sister. Why?

Francis: Because she is the one that walked in with Tom Baker like 2 minutes ago.

Sonny: Ok you sit there and wait for 1 or both of them to leave or until I tell you otherwise. I am going to talk to Jason right now. He states as he walks across the hall to Jason's penthouse. He knocks on the door as he hangs up with Francis. Liz answers the door.

Liz: Sonny what can I do for you?

Sonny: Is Jase in?

Liz: Yeah why?

Sonny: I need to talk to him about business.

Liz: Ok JASE!!! She yells up the stairs. I will just go across and visit with Carly or something. Tell Jase to come get me when you guys are done. She walks past Sonny. Jason walks down the steps.

Jase: Sonny, where is Liz? She just called me.

Sonny: She went across the hall. He comes in and shuts the door. Jason, we have to talk and you aren't going to like this and I don't know how to tell Liz about it.

Jase: What's up Sonny?

Sonny: Tom Baker is in town. He is staying at the PC hotel. Sarah is with him. Jason looks at Sonny.

Jase: What do you mean Sarah is with him? Liz's sister Sarah? Lucky's Ex-girlfriend Sarah? Sonny nods his head.

Sonny: That's the one. Francis saw them walking in together. He is at the hotel and he knows to follow if they leave. Just then Sonny's cell phone rings.

Sonny: Hello??

Francis on the phone: Sarah is getting ready to leave right now. Do you want me to stay here or follow?

Sonny: Stay right there. Watch Tom. He can do more damage than Sarah can. Sonny hangs up.

Jase: We have to tell her. No I have to tell her. He stress the I part.

Sonny: I know. I wanted to let you know before she found out. I thought she might take it easier coming from you. Then we are having a group meeting between you, Max, Johnny, and me about what is going to happen.

Jase: I better go get Liz.

Meanwhile over at Carly's:

Liz walks in. Carly, you home?

Carly: Yeah up in the nursery. Come on up. Liz walks to the stairs and walks up. She enters the Nursery.

Carly: What's up Liz?

Liz: Not sure Sonny is over talking to Jase so I figured I would give them their space and come over here.

Carly: Oh Ok. Lets go downstairs. Morgan is going down for a nap and Leticia should be home soon with Michael. They walk down the stairs. Just as the get down the stairs Jason and Sonny come in.

Liz: Ready to go back across Jase?

Jase: No actually Sonny and I need to talk to you. Carly can you stay too? She might need you.

Liz: Jase, What's going on? You are scaring me.

Jason sits down on the couch and pulls Liz onto his lap.

Jase: Hon, I don't know how to tell you this. He looks at Sonny. Liz gets a scared look on her face. Liz, you know how we had Francis scope out the hotel to see why Courtney rented a room. Well Francis called Sonny just a few minutes ago and informed him that Tom Baker was in town and he wasn't alone.

Liz looks at Jason.

Liz: What that bitch couldn't win you back so she went ahead and brought Tom in to get rid of me so she could have you back?

Jase: We aren't sure. Courtney wasn't with him.

Liz: Then who was? Do I know them?

Jase: Liz it was your sister.

Liz: Sarah??? SARAH!?!?!?!?! Sarah is in town with that creep? How could she? Liz breaks down into tears. I didn't know that she hated me that much. What me giving her Lucky wasn't enough? Me not having any family wasn't enough for her. Now she has to ruin what little bit of a life I have? What did I ever do to her? Jase wraps his arms around Liz.

Jase: Liz, you are not alone. You have a family. You have a family that loves you. You have me, and Sonny, and hell even Carly. Don't forget Michael and Morgan. There is also Johnny, Francis, and Max that think of you like a sister. Liz, Sonny, and I won't let anything bad happen. I am going to need you to stay here with Carly for a little bit longer though. Sonny and I have to figure out what is fully going on and what to do about it. Liz wraps her arms around Jason.

Liz: I don't want you to leave me though. Jase, I am scared.

Jase: Liz, no one is going to hurt you. I need you to stay here with Carly and Morgan for now. I will come get you later. He looks at Carly. Carly this time listen to me. DO NOT LEAVE THE PENTHOUSE AT ALL UNTIL SONNY AND I GET BACK!!!!  Carly looks at Jason.

Carly: I don't plan on it. I am waiting on Michael and Leticia anyway.

Jase: Good. Ok Hon I have to go. I will be back as soon as I can. He picks Liz up and sets her down on the couch. Carly comes over and wraps her arms around the girl.

Carly: Jase she will be fine. I'll take care of her.

Jase: I know Carly. In the meantime Sonny is standing there shocked at how Jason handled the whole situation with Liz.

Sonny: I'll tell you what. Why don't when Jase and I get done and come back I cook us all dinner? How does that sound? We can just have a nice family dinner. Just us. Carly feed the kids dinner and have Leticia keep them upstairs tonight. I don't think Liz needs Michael asking her too many questions. Sonny and Jase turn to leave.

Jase turns around.

Jase: Liz, do me a favor. Remember that I love you and that nothing is going to happen to either one of us. He then turns back around and walks out the door. Sonny sees how torn up he is.

Sonny: Jase, if you want to stay I can take Max or Johnny with me.

Jase: No I have to do this. Not just for Liz but for me too. I have to know that nothing is going to happen to her for my sake. Sonny, I love her. I now know that I can't live without her anymore. When I woke up this morning and she was in my arms. I knew that was all that I needed to be home. I have to make sure that Tom is dealt with and that no one can endanger her, especially Tom Baker.

Sonny: Jase calm down. I won't let anything happen to her either. I love her like a sister and the last thing I want is something to happen to her. I personally think that you need to stay here though. It will do her more good. That way you can take her back to your penthouse and it just be you and her. Jason looks at Sonny.

Jase: Sonny, you know me. I need to do this. I need to be there.

Sonny: Ok. First we are stopping by Courtney's. I need to know what she is doing.

Jase: Ok. Lets go.

Courtney's Loft

There's a knock on the door. Courtney goes to answer it. She opens the door and there stands Jason and Sonny. Neither of them looking happy.

Courtney: Sonny, Jase, what are you doing here?

Sonny: Courtney just tell me that you aren't this conniving. Just tell me that me still showing you respect after everything else that you have done hasn't been my misfortune.

Courtney: Sonny, what are you talking about?

Jase: I'll tell you what he is talking about. It seems that Tom Baker is in town with Liz's sister Sarah. Now, I was thinking to myself who would be insane enough to bring both in knowing how much it would hurt Liz. Automatically my mind came to you. All I can say is why would you do it? Why after me trying to be so nice to you even though I know you aren't Sonny's sister you would do something that hateful? You know what? I can't think of a reason. I so want to kill you right now. I had to just explain to Liz why the man that tortured her when she was fifteen is back in town and why her one and only sister who has been out to get her since the day Liz was born is back with him. I had to sit there in Sonny's penthouse and hold her while she cried. She wasn't just crying. She was sobbing. She thinks that she has NO ONE to love her. Jason is now getting very mad. Courtney, you think that you have had a horrible life. At least you had one parent that wanted you. Liz until she moved here had NO ONE!! Her parents treated her like she was nothing. Her brother was never around and her sister was the worst of them all. When she was fifteen her parents sent her to stay with a neighbor while her sister came to PC to live with their grandmother. Liz ran away from the neighbor and came here. Once she got here she still had to put up with Sarah. It's just that she was hoping to start fresh. She met Lucky. The only problem was that he was in love with Sarah at the time. Liz tried everything to get Lucky to notice her. She invited him to the dance and he agreed to go until Sarah decided she should go with Lucky instead and asked him. Liz said it was ok and that she had other plans. She went to the movies instead and walking home she went through the park. While walking through the park she was grabbed from behind and thrown down on the snow-covered ground. He raped her Courtney. He raped her when she was fifteen. Her first sexual experience was a rape. And the man that did it was the one that just showed up back in town. So tell me that you had nothing to do with it. If I find out that you did, so help me, NO ONE will be able to save you. He turns away.

Courtney looks at Sonny.

Courtney: Sonny how could you not stop him from that?

Sonny: Because I wanted you to know that. I wanted you to hear how much she means to him before I do this to you. He walks to the door.

Sonny: Johnny can you come in here please? Johnny walks in. He has the biggest grin on his face. Johnny, take her to the warehouse. Keep her there until you hear from me. It's time to go find Ms. Sarah and get Tom.

Johnny grabs Courtney. Jason and Sonny follow them out of the penthouse.

PC Hotel.

Sonny and Jason walk into the hotel lobby. They meet up with Francis.

Sonny: So Francis where is he?

Francis: Sonny you aren't going to like this. He is in room 210. It's the room Courtney reserved.

Sonny: Damn it. I knew she was involved. I just hoped that she wasn't. Jason was looking pissed.

Jase: Well I know where he is. I am going to go drag his ass back to the warehouse and put a bullet in him. I swear to GOD Sonny he isn't going to see tomorrow.  I will make sure of that myself. Jason takes off to the elevator.

Sonny: Jase Get back over here. We need to discuss this one.

Jase: What's to discuss. I am going up there and dragging his ass out.

Sonny: No you aren't. If you do that then everyone will know. Francis, you go get him. Meet us at the warehouse. Courtney is already there. Jase, you are going back to the penthouse and talk to Liz. Tell Liz we need her help in this one. She needs to call and see where Sarah is staying. Tell her to invite Sarah over for dinner and when she gets there we will deal with her. Jase shakes his head.

Jase: I don't like this. I don't want her involved.

Sonny: Jase all she is going to do is to call her up and invite her over. Max will handle it from there. I will put Marco on the door after Max leaves. We will then sit down to dinner and after dinner. You and I will take a trip to the warehouse and deal with the scum that we have there.

Jase: I guess Sonny, I still don't like it.

Sonny: We will discuss it with Liz then. See if she is willing to help when we get back to the penthouse. They leave the hotel.

Sonny's penthouse

Sonny, and Jason walk in the door. Carly and Liz are still sitting on the couch. Leticia and the boys are upstairs. Liz glances over to the door when she hears it open. She sees Jason walk in and runs over to him. He wraps his arms around her.

Jase: SHHHH Liz, it's ok. We will deal with it all. Sonny and I need to discuss something with you.

Liz: Ok what's up. She takes Jase's hand and sits on his lap after he sits on the couch.

Sonny: You know I don't like to involve women in my work but we need you to call Sarah and have her come to the penthouse. Invite her for dinner. Don't worry, you will never have to see her. Max will take care of that but we need to get her here.

Liz: Ok, I need a phone.

Sonny: You can use the one on the desk Liz stands up and walks over to the desk. She dials the phone.

Liz: Hey Sarah, it's me. I heard you were in town. Would you like to come have some dinner with me? I am staying at Harbor View Towers. Come on up to the penthouse level. Penthouse 4 is the one I'm in. Ok see you in 20 minutes. She hangs up the phone.

Liz to Sonny: She will be here in 20 minutes.

Sonny: Ok, I'll go let Max know. Marco is on his way over too. He goes to the door.

Jase: Liz, this is up to you. It's your sister. What do you want done with her?

Liz: Jase she isn't my sister. She has never been and never will be. I don't care. Just don't tell me what you do. That's all I ask.

Jase: No problem. I just wanted to know if you had any choice.

Liz: The only thing I want to do is face Tom Baker one more time. I want to show him that he didn't break me. That he never will break me.

Jase: Liz, that's not a good idea.

Liz: Jase I need to do it for me. I need to show him that I am fine and that just because he tried he didn't succeed.

Jase: We will work something out. Sonny comes back in.

Sonny: It's all arranged I will go start dinner.

Jase: Sonny she wants to face Tom one more time. I am going to take her to the warehouse so she can.

Sonny: Jase do you think that's a good idea?

Jase: I'll call if I need you. Him and Liz stand up to leave.

Warehouse:

Liz and Jason walk in to the warehouse.

Francis: Liz what are you doing here? I didn't expect to see you. Jase looks at Francis.

Jase: They in separate rooms?

Francis: Of Course. Tom is in that room and she is in the room over there.

Jase: OK.

Jase takes Liz over to the room that Tom is in. He opens the door and they walk in.

Tom: Well, well, well, if it isn't Little Lizzy all grown up. Came back to get one more round before your little friend here kills me? He grins smugly.

Liz: Actually, I came to see the scum that you are. To see you one last time and show you that your plan didn't work. You didn't break me. I am way to strong for you and for that. I survived you. I survived a lot after you. I will no longer be ashamed of what you did to me.

Tom: you enjoyed it didn't you?

Liz: You asshole. I was fifteen years old. I hated you now I don't care. What I feel is indifference. I don't care if you live or die. It's not my concern anymore. I just came to show you how strong I am. She walks up to him. One more thing Tom.

Tom: Yeah? She slugs. Jase stands back and lets her do it. She takes a few more punches to his face and one to his stomach. She then looks at him and turns around. Jase and her go to leave.

Liz: Oh 1 more thing. She walks up and gives a swift hard kick to his balls. NEVER AGAIN WILL YOU TAKE ADVATAGE OF A LITTLE GIRL. Rot in hell Tom Baker. She turns and walks out.

Jase: I am proud of you.

Liz: Jase can I ask who else is here.

Jase: It's Courtney.

Liz: Let me see her.

Jase: Ok they walk to the room Courtney is being kept in.

They open the door.

Liz: What Courtney you trying to ruin my life wasn't enough huu? Now you really wanted to hurt me? Well guess what you Lying Bitch. I WIN!!!! He is MINE not yours MINE!!! The best girl won in the end.

Courtney: Yeah Liz you might have won but we all know that in the end you will loose.

Liz: How do you see that? I see me getting the man I want and always wanted. I see you disappearing and not returning forever. I don't see how I could lose it all.

Courtney: Ask yourself why none of your family ever liked you. Ask yourself why you always felt you were the outsider.

Liz: What are you talking about?

Courtney: How did I know Sarah? How did I know to get a hold of her? Think about it. She turns her back. Liz walks over to Jase.

Liz: What the hell is she talking about?

Jase: I don't know Lets go though Dinner should almost be ready. They turn to leave. Liz, I am going to call Benny and have him do some digging on you. See what he can find out, but only if you want too.

Liz: Do it. I need to know and I need to know asap.

Jase: Ok. He picks up his cell phone and calls Benny.

Jase on the phone: Hey Benny it's me. I need you to do a search on Elizabeth and see what you can find out. Courtney said some stuff to her and she wants to see what you can find out.

Benny on the phone: How soon do you want it?

Jase: As soon as you can. Bye. He hangs up. They walk to the Limo and get in. Let's go to dinner. They ride back to Sonny's.
