Chapter Ten
Location - Caroline's
Time- Later that same night
Jason stood by the door surveying the crowd. For a guy who didn't do this kind of scene he was spending a lot of time in this place.
On the off moments during the last month, when he wasn't fighting for his life, when the bullets had stopped flying for few hours, he had stopped by here to see her. To make sure, with his own eyes,
that she was safe.
This mob war was more dangerous than any they faced before. Mainly because of
Jose Morales, nicknamed The Nephew because he killed his own uncle to take his place at the head of the family.
Jose had vowed to Jason, over the phone, " I will have the Corinthos' territory as my own. Your reputation is that nothing makes you back down. Well, I am the same way, Morgan. I will keep coming at you until I have what I want or die trying to get it."
Morales would die, Jason had no doubt about that. For now Morales had ran back to Jersey, with a bullet wound to his shoulder and most of the men he sent to Port Charles dead.
But he would be back, Jason knew how these young guys made their names. Kill everything in their way. No meeting of the five families could settle the next war that was coming.
When it was over Jason had already decided things in his life would have to change. Ever since he thought Michael had died due to this business everything about the violence seemed too close, too much to risk for what payoff?
Jason could risk himself, no problem. But not the kids. That was where he drew the line. Time to make things the way they should have been years ago.
Better stand tall
when
they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back
down
