Who is Elizabeth?

Chapter 6

At the shack

Johnny was standing at a clearing about five hundred yards away from the shack. He hoped Elizabeth and Jason were all right. Before he had left the building he had softly told Elizabeth and Jason he was going for help. The last thing Johnny had seen before leaving the room was Jason carefully covering Elizabeth with his jacket. She had flinched and then seemed to relax into the warmth, so he hoped that meant physically she wasn't beyond help. His mind couldn't stop replaying the image of Elizabeth's back covered in bruises and welts. How anyone could do such a thing was beyond him. When Johnny had left the shack he wasn't surprised to see the Mercedes gone. Johnny knew he had to keep a watch on the road because they didn't know who was involved or how many, but all he wanted to do was get Elizabeth out of here. At this thought Johnny heard a helicopter in the distance and sighed with some relief.

As the helicopter landed Johnny was surprised to find Carly's mom Bobbie getting out carrying a bag. Before he could get his mind around what was happening Bobbie was heading past him toward the shack. "I suppose that dingy shack is where I will find Elizabeth," she shouted to be heard over the helicopter as she passed him by.

Following Bobbie toward the shack Johnny tried to decide what to tell her. As they reached the door Johnny reached out and stopped Bobbie, "I don't know much, but Elizabeth was nude and they had beaten her severely. Jason managed to cover Elizabeth with his jacket, but I am not sure what you are walking into Bobbie," Johnny said distraught.

Bobbie steeled herself and entered the shack. At first Bobbie almost didn't see Elizabeth, but then she realized Jason had curled himself around her protectively. Bobbie approached cautiously and slowly, "Jason, I need to see Elizabeth. Elizabeth it is Bobbie. I am here baby, I will get you home." Bobbie sighed with relief when Jason easily let her have access to see Elizabeth. "Elizabeth honey, I am going to lift the jacket for a moment I just need to be sure we can move you. Jason we have a helicopter waiting as soon as I am sure we can move Elizabeth we should get her home." Bobbie stifled the tears that wanted to pour down her cheeks as she saw what had happened to Elizabeth. As Bobbie unzipped the bag at her side she quietly spoke, "Elizabeth, I brought some clothes. I am going to put a shirt on you." As Bobbie tried to take Jason's jacket Elizabeth moved and whimpered. "Ok, sweetie I won't take the jacket away. I just want to put this shirt on you."

"Here let me," whispered Jason. "Elizabeth I've got you no one is ever going to hurt you again." As he placed the shirt around Elizabeth, Bobbie placed some leggings on her. "Ok, Elizabeth I am going to pick you up and carry you. Are you ready?" Jason asked quietly.

Bobbie stood up and grabbed her bag; everything else could wait until she got Elizabeth home. She watched Jason gently cradle Elizabeth in his arms and followed him out the door. As Bobbie exited the shack she noticed Johnny talking to the two men that had rode in with her. As Johnny handed them keys and nodded at them she realized they must be responsible for clean up. Johnny walked over to Bobbie and asked, "Are you ready, ma'am?"

"Yes, Johnny. Let's get them home," Bobbie answered.

At the Penthouse

"Sonny, stop pacing. Mama knows how to handle situations like this and Jason is with Elizabeth," Carly said patiently. "Plus, Emily will be here any moment and we need to be calm when we explain everything to her."

Sonny stopped and looked toward Carly, "Elizabeth is my daughter. I have a daughter who is paying for my crimes." As Sonny slid down onto the couch Carly wrapped her arms around him. "Why? Why do the people I love always pay for me?"

Carly held Sonny tightly to her, "Sonny, you didn't know Elizabeth was your daughter. You protect your family above all else. We will get through this, all of us together. You know Elizabeth and I haven't always got along, but I will do whatever you need to help."

Sonny straightened himself as he heard the knock on the door. Marco opened the door cautiously and said, "Mr. Corinthos, Emily Quartermaine is here."

"Emily, please come in," Carly said as she went toward the door.

"Carly, wish I could be here under better circumstances," Emily said somberly.

"Emily, I heard from the helicopter pilot a few minutes ago. Jason and Elizabeth are on board and Bobbie says she can take care of Elizabeth here. However, the pilot said Elizabeth didn't look like she was in good shape. I just want you prepared for what happens," Sonny said quietly holding her hand.

"I know there is a story I need to find out about, but right now I just want to take care of Elizabeth. Can I get things set up at Jason's? Or is there something more?" Emily said seriously.

"No, thanks for coming in to let us know you were here. I will check on you guys a little later. Bobbie said we would need to keep things quiet for Elizabeth, so for right now only Bobbie, Jason, and you will be allowed in Jason's Penthouse. If you need anything, please let me know," Sonny said walking Emily to Jason's Penthouse.

As Sonny walked back to his Penthouse the elevator opened. Johnny and Bobbie walked out ahead of Jason carrying Elizabeth. Sonny was shocked when he saw the matted dirty hair and bruised face of Elizabeth. Before Sonny could say anything Jason had Elizabeth in his Penthouse and Bobbie was following. Johnny closed the door behind them and stood outside Jason's door. Looking toward Sonny Johnny spoke, "Mr. Corinthos, with your permission I would like to personally guard Jason and Elizabeth until I am told differently."

"Yes, Johnny I would appreciate you doing that. Though I think you will need someone to trade off with, so I will assign Xander to work with you," Sonny said shaking Johnny's hand. "Thank you for bringing my family home safe Johnny." After the last comment Sonny walked into his Penthouse.

"Carly, I need to go talk to Audrey. I need to do it in person and explain why Bobbie doesn't think Elizabeth will handle anyone else for right now. I may have to find a way to let Audrey see Elizabeth while she sleeps, so Audrey won't panic," Sonny said sounding beaten down.

"Sonny, Audrey will understand what Elizabeth needs. You both will have to let Elizabeth make the decision of when to see you. I know you hate not being in control, but that's how it is this time. Just remember, Elizabeth and Jason are home and we can work from there," Carly said surprised at her own maturity.

"I will be back soon. I want you and Michael to stay here until we find out what is going on," Sonny said holding Carly close to him for a brief moment. With a kiss goodbye Sonny was out the door and heading for a conversation he was sure he wasn't ready to have.
