Chapter 11

Liz quickly made her way to the docks thinking about what Carly had said. No one had noticed that Courtney didn't grieve for her "best friend"? If someone had caught on to the manipulation, she wouldn't have had to play dead for so long. Of course, if someone had caught on, she would have never met Frisco or become an agent and she couldn't imagine her life without the two. She was so caught up in her own thoughts she didn't notice Luke standing in front of her.

"So princess, where is the evil queen hiding?" he asked as he puffed on a cigar.

Liz looked up startled, but quickly recovered, "Over the Canadian border. Frisco can't send a team, so it's just us. You okay with that?"

Luke glanced over her shoulder and said, "I don't think we're so alone in this darlin."

Liz frowned and turned around and was shocked to see Jason and Sonny. "There's no way in hell that the two of you are coming."

"Why?" Jason asked.

"Because it is a conflict of interest. You're her fiance' and he's her brother," Liz snapped.

"You used to be her best friend, isn't that a conflict of interest?" Sonny asked.

"All of my friendly feelings toward her went out the window after I was damn near incinerated by the bitch. If that isn't enough for you, Lucky's laying in ICU on death's door because of her," Liz growled at him.

"Yeah," Sonny started, "because of her. My sister did this, not yours so don't stand there and tell me that I can't help make it right."

"Fine, but I swear to God if either of you let her get away, you won't have to worry about the WSB, because I'll kill you myself family or not." She turned to Luke and asked," You ready?" He was still stunned after seeing this side of Liz and could only nod.

Luke led them to a waiting black Explorer and they all climbed in. The drive to the border was completely silent until Liz's cell rang.

"Webber."

"It's me," Frisco greeted. "Where are you right now?"

"We just crossed the border," she answered.

"I need you to turn around and go back to Port Charles Liz. You can't do this yourself. She's too unpredictable you could be killed on site."

"No," Liz answered simply.

"No?" Frisco echoed.

"I refuse to turn around and just let her go." At this remark, the guys began to silently eavesdrop.

'You're not letting her go, let the team get her."

"I'm sorry I can't do that Frisco. It wasn't your life that she stole, it was mine. You were allowed to see your family any time you wanted, I on the other hand had to see them through sets of 8x10 glossies. I won't let her get away, I'll bring her in with my team and my conditions. I'll be careful." Liz ended the call with a flick of her wrist and surveyed their surroundings. "Take a left on that dirt road."

Luke parked the SUV in the large clearing and asked,"What are we doin' here?"

Liz climbed out and said,"The cabin is about four miles north through the woods. We can't drive right up to her front door." The men exited the car and looked towards the woods. Turning to them she asked, "You guys have weapons?" They all nodded and Luke spoke up,

"There's some stuff in the back I brought." He went over to the car and opened up a secret panel in the floorboard in the back. Liz saw numerous guns, knives, and some bulletproof vests.

"Wow, you really came prepared huh?" Sonny asked.

"Just did as I was told," he drawled looking at Elizabeth.

"Pick whatever you want, I'm not sure how many guards if any she might have."

"Are you going to kill her?" Jason asked bluntly.

She hesitated before answering. Secretly she had eeen wondering the same thing. "I'll do what I have to do to protect what's mine."

"So if you have to you'll kill her?" Sonny asked.

She looked him square in the eye and answered, "Yes."
