Hey guys, thought I'd clear a couple things up. The challenge I issued last chapter does not have a deadline. I can work it in at any time, and from what I can tell I'm only about half way through this story. It can be about Cam and Kristina as teens and doesn't actually have to include Sarah if you don't want it to. It can be about Sarah's conception and then about how Sonny threatens Cam away or a little filler about what happened in the park. Anything you guys can think of, I can make work!

And though Jason and Brenda are together in the physical sense, they are not together in the romantic sense. They're just chillin together while Sonny executes his plan (yes, Sonny knows Jase is alive) And yes, Alcazar knows Adella is his daughter, but she doesn't know. I'm actually planning on writing a chapter from her POV. It should be interesting… Thanks for the reviews, I'm glad everyone has stuck with me, and I hope you continue to read and review. Onward! To Alcazar's yacht where our heroin has just gotten herself out of a predicament…

Chapter 23: Called to Rescue

Lila stared at Alcazar for a moment before remembering the cell phone. She grabbed it of the floor, but hesitated. Who should she call? No way in hell was it gonna be Michael, and she didn't wasn't to depend on Sonny for something like this. Who could come and help her without involving the police or Sonny? She dialed the first number that came to mind.

"Yello?" Liam answered turning away from Michael.

She sighed in relief, "Oh thank God I got through to you!"

"Lila? What's wrong?" Michael frowned when he heard Liam ask that.

"You would not believe what happened to me! Lorenzo Alcazar kidnapped me and brought me to his yacht! I knocked him out, but now I'm stuck on his yacht with all of his men. I need help getting off here."

"Okay just calm down. Do you know where you are?"

Lila peeked out the small round window, "We're on water. It's blue," she added dryly.

Liam frowned, deep in thought, "Did Alcazar say anything about your location?"

"No- wait, he said if I wasn't careful, I would fall into the harbor. Do you think it's the Port Charles harbor?"

"I don't know, but it's the best place to start. Look, I have an inside guy who works at the Coast Guard. I'll give him a call. Can you describe the yacht at all?"

Lila shrugged, "It's big and white. C'mon Liam it was dark and I was blind-folded most of the time."

"Okay, okay, no need to get nasty about it. Hang tight for a while and stay out of sight. We're coming."

"Okay- wait we?" she asked, but he had already disconnected.

Liam looked at Michael, "Alcazar nabbed your girl."

Michael looked pissed, "That bastard went back on our deal. I'll kill him if he touches her."

Liam didn't look up from the phone where he was punching in a number, "I don't think you'll have to worry about that, she knocked him out."

He smiled, "No kidding? Well she said she could take care of herself. Who are you calling?"

"Lulu. This was her case before it was ours, she knows more about this mess than we do. Think you can get a hold of Jason?"

"Already ahead of you," he said flipping open his phone. He punched in the familiar number and waited.

"Morgan," the other line was answered.

"It's Michael. We got a big problem. Alcazar grabbed Lila."

"What?" Jason growled. "Where the hell were you while she was getting kidnapped?"

Michael resisted the urge to tell this asshole off. "It's not important, but what is important is Lila. She's okay for now, she knocked Alcazar out, but she's stuck on his yacht with his people. Liam and I are going to get her."

"Not without me!"

"Yes without you," Michael said as though he was speaking to a small child. "Need I remind you, that you are supposed to be dead? If anyone finds out that you aren't, it'll be a breech in WSB security, and I'll be charged with Treason against the US government. Understand?"

"If anything happens to her…" he let the threat trail off, but Michael got the picture.

"Nothing will happen to her."

"Maybe it'd be best if Lila came to the safehouse with me and Brenda."

Michael pinched the bridge of his nose, "That's not my call, but you might be right. I'll call you when I get her back." He disconnected and saw Liam watching him. "What?"

He just shook his head. "Lu's gonna meet us in half and hour at Luke's, we'll come up with a plan then."

Michael nodded, "I won't let anything happen to her."

Liam snorted, "I'm sure of that, but what's going to happen when she finds out that you've been working as a go between for her presumed dead father and the WSB? She'll feel used, and betrayed, and then what? You'll go back to being badass Michael Spencer secret agent extrordinair and she spends the rest of her life hating you? It doesn't really seem fair; especially after all she's been through." Michael winced when he noticed the cold edge in his cousin's voice, but it was gone as quickly as it came. "I gotta get some stuff together before we meet Lu." Michael watched Liam leave knowing everything he said was true.

It seemed like just yesterday that Dillon had come to him asked him to join the super secret agency. He hadn't hesitated, in fact he had jumped at the chance to get back at Sonny. At seventeen, he was the youngest person to ever be recruited into the bureau, and at eighteen, the youngest to ever reach full agent status. He loved what he did, and would never give it up for anything. At least that's what he thought before he'd met Lila. He wasn't sure if they would ever be together, but he did know that he would never forgive himself if anything happened to her. He couldn't think like that though, it would throw him off when it came time to make the rescue. As long as he kept thinking that this was just another job, and not someone he cared about, everything would go off without a hitch.

I think I made it a game to play your game
And let myself cry
I buried myself alive on the inside
So I could shut you out
And let you go away for a long time

Ooh, twists and turns all around. Liam and Michael in the WSB and keeping Jason hidden away. Why? You'll have to review to find out. luvr
