Things Change: The Alcazar Plan
Since Luis Alcazar came to Port Charles he has been working secretly with Jason, and Sorel never picked up on it. But now he was stuck... he had to find a way to kill Elizabeth, without really killing her. Poison wouldn't work with Sorel wanting it done fast. There was no one he could call—well almost no one.
Getting up from his seat he started to pace around his room at Jake's. There was one person Sorel didn't know about…his twin brother Lorenzo. Lorenzo would say no, he knew he would but he just hoped he could convince it was for the greater good to help him this time.
Lorenzo rushed to answer the phone as it rang, a little out of breath when he answered. "Professor Alcazar speaking,"
"I need your help. Before you say no just listen or an innocent girl will die," Luis said
"You have five minutes," Lorenzo said.
"A girl by the name of Elizabeth Webber-Baldwin is going to be dropped off at your house" Luis said.
"Don't involve me and my wife in another one of your schemes Luis." Lorenzo said.
"I wouldn't ask unless it was important, all I need is for you to keep her hidden," Luis said.
Lorenzo sighed deeply knowing that he couldn't say no to his brother not when other people were involved. "Only for a few days," Lorenzo said.
"Good I'll call you later and let you know when and who will be picking her up," Luis said.
"Fine but only because I don't want another innocent life taken because of you," Lorenzo said.
Hanging up the phone Luis hoped that everything went as planned or he was going to be one dead man. Sometimes he hated that he had a heart unlike his deceased older brother Lawrence who would have killed the girl as easily as taking his next breath. Then again that was why Lawrence had been banish from the Alcazar family and made some wrong decisions.
Jason knew someone was there when he entered his office but they were hiding in the shadows.
"Who's there," Jason said.
"Shut the door," Luis said stepping out of the shadows.
"Luis what are you doing here," Jason said.
"Jason I come on urgent business. If we don't act fast Liz is going to die." Luis said.
"Talk," Jason said shutting the door.
"Sorel knows he's her grandfather…he's ordered me to kill her," Luis said.
"What's the plan," Jason said.
"I have arranged for her to be transported by a boat that will be blown up. I've made sure she won't be on it at the time." Luis said.
"Sorel will want proof she's on it," Jason said.
"And he will get it but the boat will be making one stop before it blows. Elizabeth will be hidden in a crate. From there she will be transported a few miles and put in a van and taken to my brother's house in Italy. Once she is there we will need to move her fast. Lorenzo wants no part of the business," Luis said.
"Just tell me where she will be and I'll set up the rest," Jason said.
"Jase, this double life is going to get me killed soon," Luis said.
"Don't worry as far as everyone will think Liz was kidnapped. Once she is safe we'll take Sorel down once and for all and spilt his territory as promised," Jason said.
"Sonny would be so proud," Luis said.
"Go…I'll have to warn Liz…she works tomorrow night grab her then," Jason said.
Luis nodded and snuck out the secret way that Jason had made for him. The Alcazar Family had been friends of Sonny's for years but no one knew because the Alcazar's stayed mostly in South America. Jason called Luis in to help by promising him a good amount of territory and a warehouse of his own. Luis took it and project take down Sorel began.
"It's set I'll grab her tomorrow and call you when it's done," Luis said as he walked into Sorel's office.
"Will you be taking care of it," Sorel said.
"Personally. I have a shipment I am dropping off in Italy," Luis said.
"How is this going to be handled," Sorel said.
"Once the boat leaves port it'll blow up with Ms. Webber-Baldwin on board," Luis said.
"Perfect…take Keith with you," Sorel said.
"Have him met me at the docks at midnight tomorrow," Luis said.
Sorel smiled an evil smile as he picture the death of his traitor granddaughter and the down fall of Corinthos and Morgan. Luis could not believe that a man that stupid had stayed alive for as long as he did. He knew Jason trusted him but still kept him a distance because he didn't know him. And he knew that this would prove his loyalty he had Sonny's now he needed Jason's.
Sonny's eyes shot open as he lay in bed and he knew something bad was going to happen. Looking over at Brenda the feeling started to grow until he had to get up. He didn't know what was going to happen but he knew he didn't like it.
"Just follow what I told you and you will be fine," Luis said as he sensed Elizabeth's unease.
"I trust you," Elizabeth said.
"Good. My brother and his wife will take care of you until it is safe for you to be transported again," Luis said.
"I understand," Elizabeth said.
"Just for the record I really wish I didn't have to do this" Luis said.
Elizabeth hated small spaces, she wasn't claustrophobic or anything she just hated not being able to move around like she liked. The plan began to take shape the moment Francis called Jason him telling him Liz was gone. He waited an hour before sending Max and Johnny on a fake search for Elizabeth
Keith watched as the ship left the port then looked over at Luis who had no emotion in his eyes. He was used to seeing this he didn't think Luis Alcazar knew what emotions were. Luis was talking to some old man about the crate being moved fast. The moment the boat blew up Luis went into action wanting to know what happened and Keith was surprised because this old man seemed to fear Luis.
"So will this be a problem for us?" Keith asked
"They got the authorities out there now, but it's nothing to worry about," Luis said for the first time taking his eyes away from the flames on the water.
"What kind of bomb did you use," Keith asked
"I didn't I made it look like an accident, this boat is old and actually shouldn't be in use," Luis said.
"So no real investigation will be done on how it happened," Keith said obviously impressed
"Correct…lets go Sorel said something about a meeting tomorrow," Luis said as he and Keith left.
Elizabeth felt like she was going to die, even though she knew she wouldn't a little hole drilled in the side of the box made sure she had enough air. She was only going to be in it for an hour or so and had to bit her lip when Luis was talking to some man about how breakable his cargo was. That it needed to be delivered fast and careful so it wasn't damaged.
Suddenly the crate was opened… Elizabeth blinked to adjust to the light as a woman looked in. She had brown hair and brown eyes and looked concerned as two men helped get her out of the crate and caught her when her legs went weak, due to the bent position she had been in for the past few hours. The women wrapped her arm around Elizabeth's back as she led her into the house.
"You must be Elizabeth," Carly asked as she led her into the house and sat her down on the couch.
"Yea...Who are you?" Elizabeth asked.
"Carly Alcazar…I'm Luis' sister-in-law," Carly asked.
"And I am Lorenzo" Lorenzo asked
Elizabeth looked at the gentleman who just entered the room and Carly patted him on the shoulder as she walked out.
"Oh my…he never mentioned you were his twin brother," Elizabeth said.
"My brother is infamous for leaving out minor details," Lorenzo asked.
"How long am I here for," Elizabeth asked.
"You will stay here until midnight," Lorenzo asked
"Then," Elizabeth asked.
"A car will be waiting out back get in and do as the man says," Lorenzo asked
"Thank you for all of this…I know we are disrupting your life," Elizabeth asked
"I know my brother had no choice but to ask me, and if it keeps you alive I don't mind" Lorenzo said.
"So you're not in the…family business," Elizabeth asked.
"No I'm a history professor," Lorenzo asked
"And Carly," Elizabeth asked.
"She's a fashion designer," Lorenzo asked
Scott could not believe this was happening he had just found his daughter to have her torn out of his life so quickly was more than he could bear. What surprised him the most was how calm and collect Jason was. He was on the phone discussing a business deal while Elizabeth was being held captive by her psycho grandfather.
"What the hell is going on," Scott asked as he walked into the room
"Hello Scott," Jason said.
"Two days…she has been gone for two days Jason," Scott said.
"Didn't I tell you I have everything under control," Jason said.
"Yes," Scott said.
"That she would be home by the end of this week," Jason said.
"Yes," Scott said.
"And have I ever broken my word," Scott said.
"Well no but…," Scott said.
"She will be home soon," Jason said as he patted Scott on the back.
"Why do I feel I'm not being told everything," Scott said.
"Because you aren't, I will tell you eventually but for now I just need you to trust me," Jason said.
"Fine but could you act worried just a little," Scott said.
"Just tell Serena Elizabeth will be home soon," Jason said.
Sonny now knew getting Brenda out of Port Charles was the best move he could have made. If Sorel was willing to kill his own granddaughter what would he have done to Brenda? Brenda paced the length of the house still not believing all that had happened. Elizabeth was missing she had been taken and possibly killed by her own grandfather.
"Stop worrying…it bad for the kids," Sonny said as he walked behind her wrapping her in his arms.
"I know…we haven't decided on names yet you know," Brenda said.
"I am not naming my son after Edward," Sonny said.
"I'm not naming my daughter Maria either," Brenda said.
"Maria was the name of my grandmother," Sonny said before they heard the honk of a horn out back.
"What was that," Brenda asked.
"Elizabeth," Sonny said.
"What," Brenda said.
"Sorel thinks she's dead…this is best place for her now," Sonny said.
Brenda got up from her seat opening the door to see Elizabeth step out of a tan car. Elizabeth looked around until she saw Brenda who was smiling at her. Running towards her Brenda meet her halfway and they hugged. Sonny looked at the driver giving him the okay to move on to the next part of the plan.
"How are you," Sonny asked as he ushered Elizabeth inside.
"I feel like used luggage, five different planes…eight cars" Elizabeth said.
"It's to make sure you are safe Elizabeth" Sonny said.
"I know…" Elizabeth said as she turned to Brenda smiling. "Look at you," Elizabeth said.
"We're having twins a boy and a girl," Brenda said.
"That sounds so prefect," Elizabeth said.
"It is…well except for the naming part," Brenda said.
"What is wrong with the name Maria," Sonny asked breaking into the conversation.
"Your ninth grade year," Brenda said as she walked away.
"What," Sonny said.
"The Homecoming Dance," Elizabeth said as she smiled at Sonny.
"How did she know…Lois," Sonny said.
Jason stood tall like nothing could harm him; Sorel was more stupid than Jason or Sonny had given him credit for. Luis had been seen several times with Sonny before he came to Port Charles, but Sorel bought his story of how Luis wanted to get close so he could take him down. Luis told him everything he wanted to hear and Sorel believed each and every line of it.
Sorel walked out like he knew everything little thing that was going to happen. The only problem was Sorel only brought one man with him. Once again proving how stupid he really was, especially since that man was Luis Alcazar. The look on Sorel's face when he found out he had been played made Jason feel powerful. For the first time Jason really knew what it felt like to be in charge.
"Corinthos," Sonny said.
"It's done," Jason said.
"Were there any problems," Sonny asked.
"No but keep Elizabeth with you guys for a few days until the take over is done," Jason said.
"Okay…keep me updated," Sonny said.
"Understood," Jason said.
Sonny could not believe it when he hung up the phone Joseph Sorel was dead. After everything he had done to Brenda and Elizabeth he was finally taken care of. There were still some things that he would have to address when he saw Jason next. The main thing being Jason's role in the organization. Now he was a mob boss…and not just any mob boss, but the boss that took down Joseph Sorel once and for all.
