Disclaimer: I don't own GH, if I did a lot of things wouldn't have happened and some would have.
Rating: I am rating this R because I may get graphic in some of the violence that occurs. Since they are in the mob after all.
Author's Note: LizzieBella thanks for reading, hope this chapter is up to snuff. I had a hard time writing this, but want to know what you think. Please everyone review! PRETTY PLEASE!
Who is Elizabeth?
Chapter 11
Jason's Penthouse
Elizabeth sat looking at her grandmother. She wasn't sure what her Grams had to do with Sonny and it bothered Elizabeth that everyone seemed to know something she didn't. "Grams, please just tell me what is going on," Elizabeth pleaded.
Audrey knew Elizabeth was getting worried, but she couldn't do this without Sonny. "Elizabeth, just wait a minute and Sonny will be here. He has a right to explain with me. Please listen to us before you make a decision on what to do," Audrey said her voice quivering. Audrey felt Elizabeth's hand slip into her and she hoped that Elizabeth would understand.
Bobbie walked back into the penthouse with Sonny and Carly trailing her. Sonny had never looked nervous in his life, but he did now. Elizabeth stared at them and had the urge to just leave. Whatever it was Elizabeth wasn't sure she could handle it. Audrey squeezed Elizabeth's hand and held on tight, as if she knew Elizabeth was about to flee the penthouse.
"Well, Sonny's here, so what's the big secret," Elizabeth choked out.
Sonny looked at Elizabeth and saw the pain and anger in her eyes. Sonny flinched as Elizabeth stared into his eyes. "Elizabeth, are you sure you are up to this?" Sonny asked trying to avoid the conversation.
"Oh my God, Sonny just get it over with. I don't know what you want or why you have my Grams in on it, but..." Elizabeth stopped when she felt Bobbie squeeze her shoulder.
"Stay as calm as you can. They will tell you, okay," Bobbie said her voice stern and making it clear to everyone in the room that the conversation was happening now.
"Elizabeth, I am not sure how to tell you what I have to, but please listen and know that I love you," Audrey started tearfully.
Elizabeth's fear grew and she barely resisted the urge to jump from the couch and leave. As Audrey stared at her Elizabeth gave her a nod and glanced toward Sonny.
"Elizabeth, you were adopted. I met your mother when she was about to give birth to you. Maria was this beautiful child, so in love with her unborn baby. She begged me to find you a good home, her father was going to take her child and give it away to someone she didn't like. Your parents had been trying to have another child unsuccessfully, so I asked them if they would like to adopt you. When you were born I saw you and knew that I would love you forever. Maria begged me again to take you and I did. I convinced Jeff that you should be theirs," Audrey rushed everything out in an attempt to get Elizabeth to hear her out before trying to leave.
"What? How come you never told me? What does Sonny have to do with all of this?" Elizabeth said trying to stand, but Bobbie held her in place. As she glared at Bobbie, but just held firm.
"Elizabeth, we didn't want to talk about it. I didn't want to lose you, I love you," Audrey said trying to get Elizabeth to look at her.
"What my parents could treat me worse?" At this comment Audrey's head dropped in shame. "Why does everyone think they have the right to keep secrets from me and lie to me?" Elizabeth yelled.
"Elizabeth," Sonny said squatting down in front of her. "Your grandmother was only trying to take care of you and protect you."
"No, that excuse doesn't work. Grams knew my mother and she decided I shouldn't see her," Elizabeth said with a glare at her Grams.
"Elizabeth, it wasn't your mother Audrey was protecting you from," Sonny said sighing. "It was me!"
Elizabeth looked at Sonny confused, "Why would Grams protect me from you?"
"Because he is your father," Audrey whispered brokenly.
Elizabeth stared between the two in shock. She opened and closed her mouth as if to talk, but nothing came out. Elizabeth lurched out of Bobbie's grasp and started for the door.
"Liz, please don't leave," Emily begged following her. "I am sure this is a shock, but you need to stay and get better.
Elizabeth opened the door to the hall and Xander turned to face her. At the paleness of Elizabeth's face Xander reached for her. Once again Elizabeth collapsed in his arms. "What in the hell are you people trying to do?" Xander said cradling Elizabeth in his arms. "That's it, I told Elizabeth that I would protect her from all of you and now I am doing it." Xander started for the elevator, but Marco stood in front of him.
"Xander, I can't let you leave with Elizabeth," Sonny said walking up behind him. "Please trust me this is where she has to be."
"I don't trust you, not with Liz. This is twice in one night I've had to catch Liz in my arms and stop some crazy ambush on her. I am stopping you now," Xander growled.
Emily stood not sure what to do, but she knew she had to do something. "Please Xander bring Liz up to her room. She needs Bobbie's medical help and she needs to be safe," Emily said walking in front of Xander. Emily flinched at the cold stare Xander gave her. "Liz just found out she was adopted, she's in shock."
"I will take her to G.H. then," Xander replied trying to move for the elevator.
"Xander, please Liz...she needed you that's why she opened the door. But Liz needs to be safe and you know she won't be out of here," Emily said choking as she realized Xander and Liz took care of each other just like her and Liz used to.
Xander took in the resigned and sad way Emily spoke as he looked down at Liz. Liz's eyes fluttered and he knew she needed help. As Xander turned toward the penthouse he heard a sigh of relief from all of them. "Fine, but I stay with her this time. You find someone else to guard the door now," Xander said walking past them all and up the stairs of Jason's penthouse.
Morgan's Inn
Lucky and Nikolas looked around the place that their search had led them to. "Hello, is anyone here," Lucky said loudly.
"Good Afternoon, how can I help you?" asked the girl who walked in the door behind them.
Nikolas looked at the girl and tried not to laugh, "I am sorry, but do you often talk to people with grease on your nose."
"I my goodness, I am sorry. I was just working on my friend's motorcycle she said she'd be back in a few days to get it and I wanted to have everything ready for her. Oh my I am rambling. What can I do for you?" the girl said at a rate of speed almost impossible to keep up with.
"I think a friend of mine was here and I am hoping you can tell me when she left," Nikolas said.
"I am sorry, but I can't tell you who stays here. I mean what if you are a stalker or something," the girl answered nervously.
"I am sure Liz wouldn't mind," Lucky said smiling at the girl.
"Well no Liz has been here lately, so I guess I can tell you that," the girl said shrugging her shoulders.
As the boys turned to leave Nikolas said, "Lucky are you sure this is the place?"
"Wait, can I ask you a question?" the girl called out to them.
"Of course," Nikolas said politely.
"Are you brothers?" the girl asked reaching for something in a closet.
"We are, why?" Nikolas answered now suspicious.
"What's your sister's name?" the girl asked now confidently.
"What? How did you know?" Nikolas said in shock.
"Lulu," answered Lucky everything clicking now. Elizabeth knew they'd come looking and wanted them to have something specifically.
The girl looked down sadly. "I need to give you this then," she said a tear running down her cheek.
"Hey! What's wrong?" Lucky asked reaching for the girl.
"Lulu said if she didn't come back for her bike her brothers would come looking for her. I am supposed to give you this," the girl said thrusting an envelope at Lucky.
"umm...well," Lucky stammered taking the envelope. As Lucky opened the envelope Nikolas walked up behind him. Together they read the letter.
Dear Lucky and Nikolas,
I am sorry that you are finding this letter. I wish I knew what was happening, so I could tell you more. I have been followed since a couple of weeks after living Port Charles. Since I do not know who would find me so interesting I have kept a low profile. However, in the last week things have taken a bad turn. Whoever was following me tried to grab me and I got away. I rode all-night and got here while it was still dark. That was two days ago and now I realize someone found me. I can't risk Summer or her baby, so I must leave. Let her keep my bike and tell her thanks for everything. Lucky, this roll of film has some pictures of men who were following me. I know they won't be as good as yours, but hopefully you can find out something with them. Keep everyone safe and tell Grams I love her.
Goodbye my brothers, L
As they stared at the letter Lucky rolled the film canister in his hand. "Summer, would it be possible for you to come with us?" Lucky asked knowing they probably put her in danger now.
"I can't the Morgan's depend on me to watch the Inn. Plus, I have a baby to take care of and this is my home," Summer said nervously moving away from the two men.
"Summer, we aren't going to hurt you. Our...sister was in danger and you helped her. I am afraid you may be in danger. She made it clear she didn't want you or your baby in danger. We just want to make sure you stay safe," Lucky said trying to calm her.
"Why? Why would she care about me?" Summer asked.
"Why would you fix her bike? Because you were her friend without asking questions. Because you did what she asked no questions asked. Please we need to go right away," Lucky said cautiously moving toward Summer.
A cry broke the stare down and Summer headed for the back of the Inn. Lucky and Nikolas followed her and tried to stay with her. "Shhh, its okay sweet baby. Mommy's here," Summer said softly as she picked up her baby boy.
Lucky and Nikolas looked at each other as they heard the sound of a helicopter approaching. "Summer, we need you to trust us like we were L...Lulu," Lucky said as he headed to look out a window. "Okay they are coming in the back way, so we can make it if we go now." As Lucky turned he noticed Nikolas rushing from the room.
"Lucky you take the girl and the baby on the bike. I will try and lead them away. Meet me in the last town we were in," Nikolas yelled back as he rushed out.
"Nikolas...God Gia is going to kill me," Lucky said turning to look at Summer and the baby. Summer's eyes were wide with fear and he knew they had to get moving. "Did you get that bike put back together?" At her positive nod he headed for the door.
"Wait, we can't ride a bike with Jamie," Summer said panicked.
Lucky looked around the room and saw the Snuggly sitting next to a diaper bag, "Sure we can. Put this on and put him in it. We will be fine, but we have to go as soon as the helicopter starts following Nikolas."
Lucky watched as Summer strapped the snuggly on with the baby in it and grabbed some things shoving them in the diaper bag. "Lulu only left one helmet," Summer said her voice shaking with fear.
"Let's get it on you then," Lucky said as calmly as he could.
Summer pointed toward the side door and said, "That way, the bike's right outside." Grabbing a helmet off the shelf by the door and putting it on while shaking wasn't easy.
Lucky watched out the cracked open door as he saw Nikolas take off toward the tree line and the helicopter follow he swung the door open. "Let's hope they don't catch him." Jumping on the bike he brought it to life. "C'mon, we gotta go," Lucky yelled to Summer as she stood in the doorway. That seemed to work and Lucky felt slide on the bike behind him curling so that the baby was protected between them. Reaching back and grabbing the diaper bag from her hand he swung the strap around his neck to keep it with them.
As the three of them roared down the road in the opposite direction as Nikolas Lucky hoped they would be alright.
