It was pointed out to me that I had Liz reveal herself to Luke very
quickly. There is a reason for this; she's feeling very guilty for lying to
everyone and Lucky getting shot. She's fed up with tip-toeing around and
waiting so she's taking matters into her own hands, but she realizes that
she can't do it alone and who better to help her than Luke? Sorry if you
didn't get in the first time around it was my fault. The story should be
wrapping up soon so think about if you want a sequel. Here's chapter 10.
Liz strode into the penthouse with a new sense of purpose. She ignored the strange looks from Sonny and Jason and walked up the stairs. She'd just gotten the call from Frisco.
Flashback
"It's Frisco, we got a location on Courtney. She's in Canada just over the border in a house under the name Janet McGreen."
"Thanks Frisc, I owe ya one," Liz said.
"We can't get a team to the location for another 12 hours, we got some problems."
"I won't need a team to help me with Courtney, because I am going to rip her apart with my bare hands," Liz answered calmly.
"Christ Elizabeth, you don't know what kind of man power she's got. You could be walking into your own death," he yelled.
"Don't worry about me Frisco, I'm not alone and Courtney doesn't have enough power to have minions remember?"
Knowing there was nothing he could say to convince her to wait for the team he said, "Elizabeth, I want you to promise me you'll be careful okay?"
Elizabeth smiled knowing that she'd won,"I promise I'll come back in one piece. I got unfinished business ya know."
End Flashback
She went into her room and removed a bag from under her bed. It hadn't seen the light of day since she had moved into the penthouse. As she unzipped the bag she saw her hands. They were covered in dried blood. Lucky's blood. Grabbing a pair of jeans and a black turtleneck, she walked into the bathroom to wash up and change. When she emerged from the bathroom she wasn't shocked to see Sonny and Jason waiting in he room for her. She ignored them and went to the bag on the bed.
She removed a black leather jacket and matching gloves and laid them on the bed. Next came a set of lock picks Luke had given her for her 15th birthday. Finally she found what she most wanted. It was a black fireproof box with a lock on the front. She walked over to the wall where a painting hung. She pulled it down and felt around the back finally finding the key she had hidden there two weeks ago. She unlocked the box and heard a gasp of surprise when she opened it.
Inside of the box was "Sheila". She checked to make sure it was loaded before tucking it in the wasteband of her jeans.
"What the hell are you doing with a gun?" Sonny asked.
Elizabeth ignored him and removed the wallet that held her WSB identification and showed it to him. He said nothing but Jason asked,"When did you become WSB?"
She looked him in the eye and said,"During the three years that I had to pretend I was dead to protect myself from your fiance'" She said fiance with so much acid it made him flinch.
"Why would you have to protect yourself from Courtney," Sonny demanded.
Liz rolled her eyes and handed him the file on Courtney, "Read that." She removed a knife and put it in her boot. She pulled on the jacket and tucked away spare ammo, her lock picks, and her ID. She grabbed the gloves off of the bed and shoved her way past the 2 men and down the stairs.
"Wait!" Sonny called after her."What does this mean?"
Exasperated Liz spun around and faced him. "It means that the psycho whore you call a sister tried to kill me three years ago. Obviously she didn't succeed. I'm WSB now and I'm going to find the dumb bunny and give her what she deserves. She tried to kill me tonight, but she failed yet again and Lucky got hurt instead."
"If that's true then we can deal with this within the family," Sonny answered.
"Within the family?" Liz asked incredulously. "She tried to kill me twice, she shot Lucky and he may not live, and you want me to let you and Jason deal with this? I don't fuckin' think so!"
"I am not letting you go through that door knowing that you are going to kill Courtney. This is probably some big misunderstanding," he said stepping in front of the door.
"Sonny get out of my way," Liz said deathly calm. When he made no move to go she turned to Jason and said,"Get him outta my goddamn way." She wasn't so calm anymore. "Fine but remember you asked for it." Before either men could react Liz had pulled her gun and had it pointed at Sonny's head.
"Let her go Sonny," Carly said coming down the stairs. "We both know what she's saying is the truth." Sonny looked at her strangely and she continued. "Think about how Courtney acted after the bombing. She wasn't upset and her best friend was supposed to be dead. How long did it take for her to insinuate herself into Jason's life? How has she been acting since Liz came back? She's not around and when she is, she completely ignores her. Think about it Sonny something is going on."
Sonny didn't say anything, just quietly moved away from the door. Liz looked at Carly and mouthed, "Thanks," before heading out the door.
