Who is Elizabeth?
Chapter 8
Corinthos' Penthouse
Marco opened the door; "Xander is on his way up, Mr. Corinthos. He asked if he could see you."
"Show Xander in when he gets up here," Sonny said. "I wonder where he's been?"
"Sonny, you know Xander can be trusted. He just likes time to himself," Carly said trying to keep Sonny calm.
"Sonny, I am going to see what Cowboy's up to. I expect to be told how Elizabeth is doing," Luke said heading for the door.
"Luke, I will let you know when I know," Sonny said wearily.
"Bye Caroline," Luke shot as his parting remark.
Xander walked through the door with a puzzled look at the departing Luke. "About time you showed up Xander," Sonny said sounding annoyed.
"I actually need to ask for some time off. I have a personal thing to take care of," Xander said sounding distracted.
"Too bad! I need you to be guarding Jason and Elizabeth with Johnny," Sonny said barely holding his temper.
"I am sure that Jason can take care of himself and his..." Xander started to spout off and then stared at Sonny in shock. "What do you mean Elizabeth? Where is she?" Xander was starting to sound panicked.
"Why do you need to know about Elizabeth?" Sonny said getting into Xander's face.
Xander sighed and started pacing; "When Liz left she promised to keep in touch with me and that if she had any problems she'd call me right away. Three days ago Liz called and asked if you or Jason had been asking about her. Apparently some guys had been following her for a few days. Liz told me she was gonna call me when she got somewhere safe. I couldn't convince her to tell me where she was or where she was going. I headed to where I thought she might be, but I didn't hear anything from her again. I have been looking for her for the last three days and was heading out to start looking some more. When did she show up here?"
"Why didn't you tell me? This is why we have problems, Xander, you don't share information and go off alone," Sonny growled.
"Hey, Liz is my friend and she made it clear that she didn't want Jason or you involved in her life. She knows I work for you and she made it clear that if I shared information on her she wouldn't trust me. Now can you please tell me where Liz is," Xander said his voice increasing in volume.
"What's all the yelling about?" Emily asked as she walked through the door. "Hello, Xander"
"Emily, what are you doing here?" Xander asked shocked.
"I am here to take care of Jason and Liz. Sonny told me he was asking you to work with Johnny. I thought we should see each other here first," Emily said nervously.
"I see. Well I would like to know where Liz is and I want to see her," Xander said to Sonny.
"Xander, I don't know how to tell you this, but Jason and Johnny found Liz a few hours ago in a shack in upper New York. She's in pretty bad shape and Mama doesn't think anyone should be around her until she becomes conscience. Audrey and Mama are taking care of her right now. Emily and Jason have been with them, but that is all the people allowed for now," Carly said compassionately.
"Let me get this straight. I can't see Liz, but Jason the man who broke her heart and cheated on her gets to see her. I don't know who you people think you are, but none of you including Emily has given a rat's ass about Liz lately. Lucky, Nikolas, and I have been the only ones to even keep in touch with Liz. Explain to me why I should let you take care of my friend," Xander shouted angrily.
"Xander, you work for me. You don't get to ask questions of me," Sonny yelled.
"When it comes to Liz, who wants absolutely nothing to do with you I do. I promised I would take care of her and that I would keep you away from her," Xander spit out while standing in Sonny's face.
"Xander, stop. You don't know everything that has happened," Emily pleaded.
"Did Liz tell you to bring her to Sonny and Jason? Has she said she wants to be around the people who betrayed her and destroyed what was left of her life? Because if she didn't Emily, then I don't think you know what happened," Xander said glaring at Emily.
Emily tried hard not to cry. She needed to get through to Xander. She knew that his support would be important to Liz if half of what he had just said was true and she didn't doubt any of it. "Xander, Liz is unconscious and she needs to feel safe. Even if Jason and Liz have had a falling out, she has always felt safe at his place. She needs to feel that safety so she can come out and talk to us. Please trust me," Emily said trying to calm Xander.
"I am sorry if I don't trust any of you when it comes to Liz. I have seen what happens when her needs get in the way of yours. Either you disappear like Emily or you lie and through her to the wolves if you are Carly and Sonny. And we won't even discuss how much Jason has betrayed her," Xander snarled.
"I have had enough of you boy. It's too bad you don't like it because this is how it is going to be, even Audrey agrees with me," Sonny smirked at Xander.
"Why did you threaten Audrey Sonny? Because last time I checked she despised you all and was happy her granddaughter and finally seen you all for what you were," Xander said stepping closer to Sonny.
"Okay that's enough. Both of you are like children. Xander trust me that Liz is receiving the best care. My mama and Audrey are both making sure that Liz is taken care of and are with her. I know you don't like the situation and you are unsure, but there are facts you are unaware of," Carly said stepping between Sonny and Xander.
"Give me the facts or I find a way to get Audrey and Liz away from you," Xander snapped.
"Liz was hurt because of me. Does that make you feel better, Xander?" Sonny yelled and stomped out of the room.
"Why do you have to push him, Xander?" Carly commented in frustration.
"Maybe because he has my friend against what I know is her will, Carly," Xander said heading for the door.
"Where are you going?" Emily asked.
"I am going to Jason's and I am going to see Liz. If I don't I will find a way to get her away from all you so called friends," Xander said opening the door.
"Xander, you are not helping the situation," Emily ground out in frustration.
"What not making it easy for your perfect brother to hurt my best friend again? You are right, I won't let him yank her around while he has the blonde bimbo to play with," Xander shot at Emily.
"God! Why do you always have to be so infuriating? Jason loves Elizabeth. I don't know what the deal was with Sonny's sister, but she appears to be gone to me. I know you are trying to protect Elizabeth, but you need to trust Bobbie. She says this is what is best for now, please let it be. Guard them, that way you will know everything that is going on. When she wakes up I will ask if she wants to see you and if she says yes I will get you right away," Emily said trying to deal with Xander.
"You want a deal." At Emily's head nod Xander continued, "Bring Audrey to talk to me. If she tells me herself that this is what she wants for Liz, then I will guard Liz until she tells me herself what she wants."
Emily sighed she knew Audrey wouldn't want to leave Liz's side, "Fine, I will go get Audrey."
"Xander, I wish you would be calm and discuss things instead of jumping into it with Sonny. I need to calm him down, but since no one seems willing to tell you the piece of information you need I will. It's Sonny's business because Elizabeth is his daughter," Carly said and with that she walked upstairs to find Sonny.
"What?" Xander said in shock.
"It's true," Audrey answered coming to sit by Xander.
"How? Oh, never mind. I just want to know that you are comfortable with Liz being at Jason's. You tell me if you want it different and I will find a way to make it different," Xander said searching Audrey's face for the truth.
"Xander, I don't think it is safe anywhere else. The people who were after Liz want to kill her to get to Sonny. I can't keep her safe against that. Until Elizabeth wakes up, I think we better stay here. I would like it if you were around. I know that you and Elizabeth are close friends and she would like you being here," Audrey said patting Xander's leg.
"Okay, Mrs. Hardy. I will be guarding Jason's with Johnny. Here's my numbers if you need anything you call no matter what," Xander said handing her his card.
"Thanks Xander. I am going back to Elizabeth now, but I will let you know what happens," Audrey said standing to leave.
Xander walked her to Jason's door and then turned to Johnny, "What time do you want me here?"
"If you don't mind relieving me in an hour that would be good. Then we will rotate every eight hours to stay fresh. We want to make sure that they are protected at all costs," Johnny said.
"Okay, I will see you in an hour," Xander said getting into the elevator.
