promise to finish this one!!!!!!!!
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.
Jason's facial expression changed from concern to surprise. Elizabeth stood where she was for what seemed eternity just looking at him, Jason simply stared back, neither knowing what to say. Finally Elizabeth broke the silence, "It's been a while, hasn't it." Jason nodded, "Yeah"
Still a man of few words she thought to herself. "I'd ask you how you are, but, I'm afraid I might say it wrong and you would tell me to leave again." Elizabeth was obviously still bitter towards him, and why shouldn't she be. Jason walked away from his bike and towards her, ignoring her comment, "Why are you back here?" Elizabeth folded her arms and looked at him with her head tilted, "What's it to you Jason...or should I just call you Mr. Morgan....only people you like or know are allowed to call you Jason right?"
He ignored her yet again "So are you back here on business? You work for Vercetti?"
"I don't have to answer your questions, but for old times sake I will. The answer to both questions is yes."
Jason looked down rubbing his neck, "Elizabeth, you can't be doing this..."
"Why? Because I am perfect Elizabeth Webber, the holy than thou saint......that would have been a good reason 4 years ago, but I'm not her anymore....I am not the Elizabeth that left this fuckin' town 4 years ago."
Jason seemed unfazed by what she told him, "You haven't changed, no one really changes."
"You did, you became almost literally a whole new person."
"That was different and you know it"
"Yes, it was, but who exactly are you to say who hasn't and has changed, huh?"
Jason was silent for a while, "Elizabeth, I am sorry I told you to leave..." and Elizabeth rolled her eyes, "I am out of here, watch your back Mr. Morgan."
Jason watched Elizabeth walk away and Elizabeth could feel his eyes on her. A feeling she missed and dreaded at the same time. It wasn't going to be easy for Jason to win back her friendship. I didn't matter if he had looked for her or not, he still hurt her.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
Early the next morning Elizabeth woke up in her hotel to a loud knock on the door, she struggled out of bed and wrapped a night robe around her body, "Who is it?" she asked groggily.
"Tommy" Elizabeth made her way to the door and answered it letting him in without saying a word. "Good Morning Elizabeth." Tommy said.
Elizabeth simply nodded, "Yeah, same to you."
Tommy looked fresh, as if he had been awake for hours already and had over 4 cups of coffee. "Today we start." Elizabeth nodded, "OK, what are my orders?"
"Well, first I need you to tell me what Faith was talking about last night. Everything. Last Night I didn't push it because I could see you were upset, but don't ever defy me like that again." Tommy looked Elizabeth squarely in the eyes.
Elizabeth knew she really didn't have much of a choice. "Fine," paused a second, trying to find the best words to use, "I used to be really close to Jason Morgan, closer to him then I was to Sonny. Jason and I had a complicated relationship. We had a falling out and then I married Ric Lansing and was pregnant with Ric's baby. Ric and Sonny were actually half brothers, but they hated each other. Jason didn't care for Ric as well. One night I got into a fight with Sonny about Ric, after he left I fell down some stairs, and....well I lost the baby that night. A lot of things happened between that night and Halloween night about 4 years ago. By then Jason and I were friends again and I had left Ric. Jason was over at my studio after a shoot out courtesy of Faith Roscoe. My studio was right on the pier, so I could hear when things happened down there. Well like I told you before, Courtney was once married to Jason...she was on the dock with Faith thinking she had killed Jason. Faith let it slip that I actually hadn't slipped down the stairs, but she pushed me that night. I grabbed Jason's gun and shot aimed for Faith but shot Courtney. That is when I left."
Tommy nodded, "Things are coming together now."
Elizabeth stood in front of Tommy silent, her eyes stared blankly at him, "What else do you want to know?"
Tommy thought for a second, "How well do you know Sonny's kids?"
Elizabeth shrugged, "I knew Micheal, I used to buy his Christmas gifts for Jason." Inside Elizabeth felt happy thinking of that day, but the happiness was soon gone. "He probably doesn't really remember me."
Tommy nodded, "This is good enough."
"Why?"
"You will soon find out, but now I need you to find and watch Zander Smith. Where he is, you will be, got it?"
Elizabeth nodded. Zander would be a lot easier to watch then Jason, Jason always knew when he was being watched.
At that moment Vin let himself in, "Boss, my orders today?"
Tommy glanced at Elizabeth then to Vin, "Find and watch Jason Morgan." Elizabeth was a bit offended and relieved, did Tommy think because of her past connections she was unable to surveillance Jason? She didn't want to know, from now on she was not going to ask about orders, she was just going to do them.
Elizabeth excused herself to get dressed in the bathroom as Vin and Tommy discussed the plan.
"We'll bring Elizabeth into the plan after the ball tonight, we might have a problem with her, but she'll be a great asset in the long run, she knows the boy."
Vinny nodded, "And Jon?"
Tommy smiled, "He's on his way, he will help you tonight."
"Oh, and sir, Mercedes intercepted my message to Jon last night, she's on her way I believe."
Tommy sighed shaking his head, "Should have figured."
Elizabeth entered the room again wearing her usual black, but with her hair up and less make up on. Elizabeth grabbed her jacket, cell and gun from a table, "You'll hear from me later tonight Tommy."
Tommy stopped Elizabeth before she left, "I forgot to mention, you'll be with me tonight, at the Nurses Ball, you are my date."
Elizabeth folded her arms, "Why?" she honestly asked.
Tommy smiled, "Just have to make the appearances, I was hoping you could introduce me to some people."
Elizabeth hated the idea of it, but knew he would meet the people anyways. Elizabeth nodded, "I will be back around 5 then."
Tommy nodded, "Good"

Faith and Zander laid in bed together naked under the covers. As Zander began to wake up, he saw Faith already awake, smiling at him, her eyes big and glittering, ready for Round 2. Zander shook his head, "No Faith, I know that look, it's already 7 in the morning. I have things to do and so do you." Faith pouted as she watched Zander get out of bed. Faith playfully tilted he head, "Oh Zanny Boy, come back to bed." Zander shook his head, "I'm not in the mood Faith." Faith sat up with the sheet around her, "Yeah, and honestly last night you didn't seem quite in the fucking mood either." Zander stood at the bathroom door across from the bed and glared at her. "You got what you wanted though, didn't you?" Faith sighed, "Are you upset about the whole Elizabeth thing?" Zander was silent so Faith continued, "Jesus Christ, how many men did the little milk maid have in her pocket!? I knew she had Ric in the palm of her tiny hand, and apparently Jason would have done anything for her, and now you?" Zander put his shirt on, "Elizabeth was, is, a good women. She helped me out when no one else would. She didn't deserve anything you did to her."

Alcazar stood on his Yacht over looking Port Charles. Hands wrapped around his eyes and a sultry voice said, "Guess who?" Alcazar put his hand over the long slender fingers covering his eyes, "Gee, I wonder who....these hands, well they feel like my wife Carly's...hmmm."
Carly giggled as she turned Lorenzo around, "Good Morning sweetie," and kissed him quickly on the lips, "So, what's on the agenda today?"
Lorenzo pulled Carly closer in to him and brushed the hair out of her face, "The Nurse's Ball is tonight, are you ready?" Carly bit her lip, "Honestly.....no, but I need to see those boys again, I know I'm not their mother anymore, but I want to know if they are alright...." Lorenzo sighed, "I understand....."
"How was your meeting last night?"
Lorenzo shook his head, "Not great, Sonny want's my head on his mantel...can't blame him." Carly just nodded, "I really hope nothing goes wrong....for either of us." Lorenzo nodded, "Me too, Sonny's is no longer powerful as he once was, yet he can still bring us all down if we don't do something soon."
"Whose all?"
"The Five Families, and by the way, do you remember an Elizabeth Lansing?" Lorenzo asked.
Carly nodded, "Yeah, I remember I used to hate her. Why?"
"She's working for Tommy Vercetti."
"That man in Florida?"
"Yeah, she's his top enforcer." Carly simply laughed at the irony, "Elizabeth in the mob, that just blows me away." Alcazar turned around as he saw his enforcer who remained hidden last night. "Dillon, I want you to watch Elizabeth Webber."

Sonny sat on the couch as Micheal, now around 14 (kids age fast) and 4 year old Morgan watched TV next to him. Sam walked down the stairs in a robe looking like a mess yet smiling. "Sonny, when are you putting on breakfast, I usually smell eggs by 7."
Micheal turned around to Sam, "My father is not your slave, I think you are capable of making your own breakfast." Sam raised an eyebrow at the boy but kept quiet. Sonny turned to Micheal very sternly, "I told you to stop talking back to Sam like that, she deserves respect...now you are going to..." Micheal got up interrupting him, "Here you go again telling me what to do..I'm just being honest with her."
"Don't start Micheal, I am not in a good mood."
"When are you in a good mood!!" Sonny shook his head, "Don't back talk me."
"Don't tell me what to do."
"I am your father! I have a right to"
"If anyone has been a father to me it has been Jason...."
"No Micheal, don't start."
"Then stop telling me every move to make, or I'll be leave just like Mom did."
"Carly is not your mother!"
"Neither is Sam." Micheal just stormed past Sam up the stairs to his room. Sonny got up and Morgan just calmly grabbed a toy and headed upstairs. Sam approached Sonny at the sofa, "Micheal's a hurt boy Sonny, his mother left him here, he knows his father is a mobster with a screw-up girlfriend now. Then he has Courtney and Brian pestering him all the time, the poor boy is confused, he had been for the last four years. You have to give him some room, or he will, like he says, leave just like Carly did." Sonny shook his head staring at the glass's on the bar, "It's been four years....and he hasn't coped with it at all."

Courtney sat on the living room floor doing her morning stretches in her cute little house with Brian on the outskirts of town. Brain walked into the room with the morning paper shaking his head as he read the headline, "Three armed men found dead outside warehouse owned by alleged mobster Sonny Corinthos." Courtney sighed still sitting on the floor looking up at Brian, "I'm just glad I got out of that life before I was sucked into it." Brian agreed as he helped Courtney up and she continued, "I just want to get those kids out of that life too....before they become it."
Brian pulled Courtney into a hug, "Don't worry, Alcazar's yacht came in yesterday....he and Carly will be at the ball and when Sonny sees them, he'll flip. I just have to stop him in time before he hurts someone other than himself."
Courtney pulled away to face him "Just let him pull the gun Brian, don't let him shoot it."
Brian nodded, "We just have to hope he carries a gun and Alcazar push's him enough to take it out."
Courtney smiled wickedly, "Don't worry, I'll make sure Alcazar push's his buttons just right." Brian ran his hand through her hair and brushed her cheek, "Soon we're going to have our family Courtney, then we can leave this place." Courtney smiled sweetly and kissed him lightly on the lips, "I love you." Brian smiled and held her closer, "And I love you." Courtney sighed as she looked at her watch, "I'm late, Ned is not going to be happy." Brian smiled, "You really like working at L&B huh?" Courtney smiled as she went into the bedroom, "I love it." She said as she went to dress.

Elizabeth sat in Kelly's behind a newspaper hoping to see Zander, it was not easy tracking him, he was no where in Faith's dock territory, but she figures he had to eat sometime and knew he always came here.....who didn't. The place was rather busy, only two waitresses were working, Georgie and a short Mexican girl whom people were calling Marita. The bell on the door ran and sure enough there was Zander. Elizabeth immediately and casually turned around in her seat in the corner and put down her newspaper standing up. She glanced at Zander to see his position at the counter in the room and made her way outside without being seen. She stood in the ally next to Kelly's, waiting for him to come back out so she could follow him. Zander came out within 10 minutes, Georgie with him, "Be careful Zander, my sister would like to see you in one piece tonight."
Zander frowned, "She's going to be there."
"No Zander, why would a nurse be going to the Nurse's Ball" Georgie sarcastically said, Zander looked down, "I'll be there with Faith."
Georgie crossed her arms, "I thought you were through with her."
"She's my boss Georgie, I can't dump my boss.....its not like I'm emotionally attached to the women though."
"No, its just sex right?"
Zander nodded, "Yes, it is. And what I have with your sister is so much more than that." Georgie looked cautiously at Zander, "Bye Zander." And went back inside. Zander walked away and Elizabeth smirked as she followed him.....his weakness is Maxie she realized. As Elizabeth left shortly behind Zander, Dillon came into view, staring into Kelly's at Georgie who was serving tables. He focused quickly back on Elizabeth and began to follow her.

Sonny walked down the pier with Sam by his side, "You have to really talk to him Sonny, you never really talked about Carly with him did you?" Sonny shook his head, "No..." he began but his eye caught a yacht in the bay, Sam saw it as well. "Alcazar's?" Sonny nodded, "Yeah," There was silence for a while until Jason arrived, "Sonny, you called?" Sonny nodded and glanced at Sam telling her with his eyes it was time for her to leave. Sam kissed Sonny and nodded toward Jason as she left. Sonny handed Jason some photos, "Zander has been a very busy boy." Jason looked at the photos carefully, "I knew it was him sneaking around the warehouse, what do you think he is doing." Sonny shrugged, "Spying...watching...waiting for an opportunity." "To do what?" Sonny smiled, "I'm not stupid, I know Faith is after my territory, along with Alcazar and Vercetti.....they think I am weak, but I'm only getting stronger." Jason stared at Sonny, Sonny was in denial. "What do you want me to do?" "Watch him, if it looks like he is about to make a move, or see something he shouldn't take him out." Jason handed the photos back to Sonny, "Ok Sonny."
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.
