CHAPTER 3
Tommy and Elizabeth approached the warehouse. She checked her gun in her black suede jacket and began to feel anxious. Then Elizabeth began to panic; she stopped Tommy by grabbing his arm. "Let me watch guard. I can stay in the shadows, no one will see me."
Tommy shook his head, "Elizabeth...calm down."
"Sonny will appreciate that you came alone," she added.
This caught Tommy's ear and he turned around to her, "Don't make a sound." Elizabeth nodded as she looked for a back entrance while Tommy took the side door into the warehouse. She slowly walked the allies trying every door until one nudged loose. She grabbed the lock and rattled it open letting herself in. She stood still until she heard voices. Cautiously she followed them. She crept among the maze of boxes, having to feel her way around due to the darkness. Then she saw a light through a crack between boxes. Eventually a table came into view. She stood behind a short stack of boxes that went up to her waist. Here she would stay.
At the table there were 5 people seated. Tagliotti sat facing her. His eyes glancing between two men sitting across from each other. Sonny Corinthos and Lorenzo Alcazar. Sonny looked like he was ready to pounce on Alcazar. His eyes were wide and frightening while Alcazar seemed cool and calm, ready to do business. Sonny eyes were sunken back into his skull, he looked so tired. Next to Alcazar sat Faith Roscoe who had Zander standing right behind her. Zander looked like hell. Elizabeth reached into her coat and felt her gun. God how she wanted to shoot the bitch. Faith sat there as if she was queen of the world. Her red lips snarled in a smirk..and her eyes fixed on Tommy. Elizabeth realized she needed to warn Tommy about Faith. To Tommy, Faith may just be simply attracted to him, but Elizabeth knew better.
Tagliotti spoke up, "Sonny, why are we here...why is it just us...why aren't Mauritties and Foutes here?"
"this isn't five families business..this is about cops...and about my territory. First of all Lt. Spencer is a good kid, but we need him off our ass's. We need to set some bait, to lure him away during the Mexico transfer."
"I'll take care of it, but what about Lt. Brian?"
"I'll take care of him. Don't worry."
"Sonny, why don't we."
"Shut-up Faith."
"Hey." Alcazar began. The first word had been said between them and Sonny slammed his fist on the table, "You don't talk to me." He said pointing his finger at him, "You are nothing but air here tonight.the only reason I invited you was to see for myself what my wife."
"X-wife"
".left me for"
The tension rose in the air, Tommy interrupted, "We are here tonight to discuss your territory Mr. Corinthos, not you personal problems."
"Business is Personal."
"Mr. Corinthos, I had made a generous offer to you in exchange for this warehouse here."
"Generous? Your offer was measly, it was pathetic, it was an insult."
"Mr. Corinthos.."
"No, no deal..your money can't buy anything in this town."
Tommy angrily stood up. Immediately you could hear the safety being taken off of a gun behind Sonny. Elizabeth pulled her gun and pointed it at the man standing behind Sonny in the shadows. She could only make out the outline of the man, but inside she knew who it was. Faith silently instructed Zander to pull his gun on Sonny who didn't have Jason to protect him at the moment. Sonny glanced in Elizabeth's direction and then at Zander. Alcazar looked suspiciously at the Tommy, "You have an enforcer here?" Tommy sat down slowly, "Yes, I do." Tagliotti shook his head, "So Sonny, Tommy and Faith brought their enforcers tonight? Is there a need for them."
Elizabeth sensed another man behind Alcazar in the shadows. "Yes, and Mr. Alcazar has one too."
Faith recognized the voice and let out a bitter yet ignored laugh. Tagliotti got up, "I'll be leaving now Sonny, I for one have no business in your territory." Sonny nodded as Tagliotti walked away. The remaining four sat around the table nervously. The man behind Sonny had his gun on Tommy, Elizabeth on the man and Zander on Sonny. The tension was at a peak. Faith looked to Sonny and the man, who's outline obviously showed to be Jason, "Don't you know who's pointing the gun at you Jason?"
Jason became visible and Elizabeth silently gasped. There he finally was. He looked almost exactly the same, even his hair. But his eyes were different.they were no longer sang to her..they looked almost dead. Jason glanced to Faith, then Elizabeth, "What do you mean Faith?"
Faith smirked, "It's that little milk maid..the one who really shot Courtney." Jason glared at Faith, "Oh, don't be surprised.of course I knew.my men were the ones who held her back and saw you take the gun from her."
Sonny angrily looked at Jason, "What?" Obviously Jason never told Sonny what really happened. Elizabeth began to get uncomfortable, she glanced at Tommy who became very curious what happened all those years ago. Jason looked at Elizabeth.right into her eyes, although to him he was just looking into a shadow, "I'll tell you later Sonny...Hey you." Elizabeth began to lower her gun in response and Jason did the same as did Zander, "Come into the light."
Elizabeth stepped out and slowly drew near to the light. The light illuminated her and she saw everyone's face change. Faith raised an eyebrow, Zander took a step back in awe, Sonny's mouth just dropped and Jason's...Jason looked as if he was looking at a ghost. And in some ways he was...the old Elizabeth had died like she had told Lucky. And Alcazar recognized the woman as the late Ric Lansings wife. Tommy was surprised to, who exactly was Elizabeth before she came to Vice City? The first words came out of Jason's mouth, "Elizabeth..what are you doing here?"
Elizabeth coldly stared at Jason, "I'm Tommy's enforcer, " she said surprised her voice hadn't cracked.
Sonny looked back to Tommy, " I suggest you leave Mr. Vercetti, you have no business here in Port Charles." Tommy got up, "I'm not leaving until I get what I want..and trust me..I will get it." Tommy looked to Elizabeth, "Let's go." Elizabeth looked at Jason and slowly walked away. Before they left though Alcazar stopped Elizabeth, "I am sorry about Ric, my condolences." Elizabeth nodded and glanced to Sonny he looked down. Tommy saw this.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
Tommy and Elizabeth stood outside the warehouse. Elizabeth sighed, "I forgot it gets cooler at night here."
Tommy ignored her comment, "You are going to tell me what happened with you here and exactly what your relationships were with those people in there."
Elizabeth knew there was no more putting this off, so she started at the beginning, "It started when my boyfriend Lucky supposedly died. Sonny was there that night to comfort me and we became friends. Then I met Jason," Elizabeth was about to say he was her best friends brother, but didn't want to put Emily in harms way, "Me and him really hit it off and became really good friends too. He really helped me deal with Lucky's death. Then Lucky came back, he wasn't really dead, long story. Sonny helped me out a lot and did me a lot of favors and Jason..Jason was one of my best friends." Elizabeth forgot that she was talking to Tommy and let herself relieve some memories, "He'd take me out on rides on his bike, showed me how to defend myself, gave me a shoulder to cry on, we gave each other places to stay, he stayed with me in the hospital...saved my life more than once and I saved his too." Elizabeth realized how great her life was when she was with Jason.
Tommy realized Elizabeth had been really close to Jason, "Is this going to be a problem?"
Elizabeth snapped back to reality and realized she had said too much, Tommy knew how personal this was now. She shook her head, "No...we had a huge falling out a few years back, and when we began to become friends again we had another and that's when I left."
"What about Sonny?"
"Same with him I guess, I was never as close to him though. His wife was the most bitter, conniving woman ever to walk this earth."
"Carly Alcazar?"
Elizabeth nodded, "so is Faith Roscoe, I need to warn you about her. Don't get caught in her web. She will devour you. Trust me, she is the devil in disguise."
"And who is this Ric?"
Elizabeth hated recalling all the details, "He was my husband, he passed away a few years ago."
"Sonny had him taken care of didn't he?"
Elizabeth became irritated, "I don't know Tommy, and I don't care, we were divorced by then! Ric was not what you would call a good husband.or good man"
Tommy nodded, "I'm understanding now...so according to what Ms. Roscoe said, you shot Courtney...who is Sonny's sister..and apparently Sonny did not know this."
Elizabeth nodded, "Yeah, but I was aiming for Faith."
"And why was that" said Faith's voice from right behind them.
------
Sonny stood with Jason alone in the warehouse, "Are you telling me you never shot Courtney, this whole time you were covering for Elizabeth?"
Jason nodded, "She was aiming for Faith Sonny, Elizabeth found out you weren't the one who pushed her and she didn't slip, it was.."
"Faith"
Jason nodded. Sonny shook his head, "You should have told me Jason.."
Jason nodded, "I know..but I couldn't.I couldn't risk it.for Elizabeth."
--------
Elizabeth folded her arms as Faith and Zander approached the two. "You know why Faith."
"Is it for the little favor I did for you that rainy night."
"For yourself you worthless bitch."
"Watch the language sweetie," Faith got closer but Elizabeth smacked her surprising Zander and Tommy.
"Back off," Elizabeth shouted losing self control, "I know how to really use a gun now, and trust me...next time I will hit my target and you will pay for what you did to my." she stopped herself, not wanting to reveal to Tommy anymore..he already knew too much of her past that he could possibly use against her if he had to.
Faith though completed her sentence, "Baby? C'mon Elizabeth...that was a pure accident."
Elizabeth was holding back the tears. "Just go Faith, I'll see you again and it'll be the last time too."
Faith scurried away but Zander stayed behind, "It's nice to see you again Elizabeth...I'm sorry..about a lot of things."
Elizabeth nodded, "Bye Zander." Zander patted her shoulder and left. Elizabeth turned to Tommy, "Don't you dare ask me what that was about. Not tonight." Elizabeth wiped a tear and walked away.
----------
Sonny and Jason stood in the hall between their penthouse's, "Well Sam and the kids are probably asleep by now, do you want to come in for a drink?" Jason shook his head, "No, I'm gonna go for a ride." Sonny nodded understandingly as Jason went back into the elevator, "Try not to think about her Jason."
"That's why I'm going for a ride."
----------
Tommy went back to his penthouse and Vinny was waiting, "How did it go?"
Tommy nodded, "Well, it's gonna be hard, but its not impossible. Did you know about Elizabeth's past here?" Vinny shook his head, "Well, it's like a fuckin' soap opera. I don't think she can handle this."
"Did you tell her this?"
"Of course not, she'd disagree with me in a heartbeat. Why don't you call Jon, get him up here ASAP."
Vinny nodded leaving the room.
Tommy looked out the window, "Starting tonight, Sonny's reign is over and mine is about to begin."
-----------
Elizabeth walked along the street, soon she found herself in front of her grandmothers old house. She lived here when she first came to Port Charles. She felt as if she was looking right at a photo album, the house was just the same. Elizabeth began to hear a low rumble in the distance. She ignored it for a while as she began to keep walking. Then it began to get louder. Soon she saw a bright light up ahead and moved behind the bushes. She watched the light get closer and then it slowed down and eventually stopped about 10 yards in front of her. It was a motorcycle. And as the helmet came off Elizabeth recognized the man as Jason. He got off the bike and started to mess with the rear tire. "Damn suspension!" he shouted kicking it. "There he is again," she said softly to herself, but she had forgot Jason's keen sense of hearing. Jason turned her direction, "Who's there?" Elizabeth slowly stood up and in the moonlight Jason could see it was Elizabeth and their eyes locked.
