Alexis woke up in pain.



She got up and headed to the shower cleaning the grime off her skin and the wounds in her back. She had a fever and was throwing up the last time this happened it took three weeks for her to come out of the pain. So much had happened since then and those days seem like a little girls daydream of being a super hero. She ran the brush over head and a large hand full of hair comes out.



Alexis looked and felt older then she was. Trying to compete with girls like Carly, when here was no competition, all over a man. The pain was getting worse she sat down on the couch in an Indian position and began to meditate. That's how Jason found her. By this time the light beige back to the couch was covered in blood and puss from the poisoned wounds.



He looked at Alexis she opened her yes. They where bleeding again, Jason got a good look at her, her hair was coming out and she looked thinner. He sat down with the first aid kit and began to clean out her wounds. He gave her water and she went back to meditation.



-I was half expecting to see Sonny.-

-He not himself.-



She snorted.



-Really what was your first tip?-

-Your bitter.-

-And your blind. Jason he hasn't been himself sense Carly decide that fake car accident, we're apart of their game.-

-That's when it happened didn't it when you began to hate him.-

-I don't hate him I never could the first real friend I ever had.-

-Friend?-

-I love but can never be loved back its a curse I learn to deal with a long time ago.-

-What does that mean?-

-Means I never hate the men I love but can never have. What made me ANGRY with Sonny is he's smarter then playing the stupid game with Carly yet he does it.-

-He loves her.-

-Their loves to dangerous for the people around them. You see that don't you?-



Jason sighed for the first time found she was right. They played that damn game and upped the stacks.



-He's going after Kristina.-



He looks into Alexis' eyes a cold chill ran down his spine.



-Stop him or I will kill Michael.-



Spoon Island



Emily played with Kristina when Jason comes in. She smiled and hugged her brother, Nicolas cames into the room angry.



-Get out!-

-What going on?-

-They tired to get to Kristina but my men stopped them said Corinthos wouldn't stop Alexis had to pay.-

-I told him not to do it Nicolas. He losing it, he's angry with Alexis over the hearing.-

-I don't care he think his mob games are going to win over a Cassadine.-

-Save it Alexis already made it clear. If he going after Kristina she'll kill Michael.-

-She didn't say that Jason.-

-Emily I don't lie. You know that, she looked me dead in eye and told me flat out stop him or I will kill Michael in those words. I believe her, something's changed in her she's-

-What? Angry? she has every right to be but I won't let her hurt a child nor will I let Sonny hurt Kristina.-

-He wont I'll deal with him. I need to ask has Helena gone after Alexis?-

-No why?-

-She..- Sigh.

-I saw the look in her eyes like she been pushed to far.-

-Can you blame her with Carly blackmailing her.-

-What?-

-Jason don't be naive why else would she help Carly.-



Jason sighed again the game being played and Alexis and everyone else got caught in the middle this time it was the children. Jason looked down at Kristina she smiled at him.



-Emily I need you to come with me. Bring Kristina, Nicolas keep your men close.-

-Why?- She asked.

-I'm going to put it to Sonny once and for all. Maybe that will end this.-



Jason walked into the penthouse with Kristina in his arms. Sonny looked a little surprised so did Carly.



-Here she is do it.-

-Do what Jason?-

-Give her to the Quartermaines, hurt her, kill her!-

-Jason you're scaring her.- Carly said.

-Isn't that what you wanted?-

-What?- Sonny and Carly looked at each other.

-This is the game you two want to play isn't. Use Kristina to hurt her mother, why stop with Alexis here Sonny DO IT!-

-Jason enough!-

-Enough that's a joke with to two how far are you going to go! How far?-



By now Kristina was crying.



-Calm down!- Carly said.

-NO! You're blackmailing Alexis you want her gone so you can get back with Sonny but your keeping her close to gloat by threatening Kristina. Alexis got as far away from you as she could, you both know she did but Carly brought her back. You knew that with Sonny hating Alexis he go after her so you could slip the boys out from under him. You used this little girl to get what you wanted. Here Carly go ahead hurt her some more.-



Carly looked at the crying baby girl she looked away.



-And YOU, you know what Carly's doing but you can't make her pay, so you go after Alexis. Telling her she'll pay so here she is Alexis' daughter as payment Sonny do your worst!-



Kristina screamed, Carly began to cry. Sonny looked at the baby girl and the rage in Jason eyes.



-You two make me sick. I'm beginning to think Alexis was right I told her she didn't know anything but she knows. She knows how far you two willing go and said if you hurt her daughter she'll kill Michael.-



Carly gasped and looked at Sonny.



-You ever know Alexis even threaten a child let alone want their end. You pushed to far Sonny both of you have. I looked into her eyes when she said it I believe her.-



Jason began to hush Kristina, the little girl peered at Sonny, he swallowed. Jason rocked her and she began to fall asleep. He opened the door and hander her to Emily. They left and Jason turned to the shell shock couple.



-Why? Why do you do this other people. I know you hate Alexis Carly but you know she'd never hurt those boys. Yet you had no trouble threaten a child. In all the fights with Alexis she never did that. You hate the she's so much more stronger then that. That she won't even sink that low.-



-She threatens to kill Michael!-

-For the record in all the years you two have been going at it she never threaten your son. Or you for that mater, but as of today things are different. I don't know why but I believe her.-



Jason walked into the apartment Alexis was where he left her. She was trembling and still bleeding. She threw up a couple of times, he kept quiet and clean up the mess. Then he carried her to the bath and helped her clean up.



-I heard about Kristina. You did good Jason even if you made my little one cry.-

-I hurt them.-

-Are you sorry about what you did?-

-No Alexis, I know that it was the right thing to do. I just hope it has an effect.-

-Sonny an idiot of his choosing not by genetics he'll wise up.-

-About Michael.-

-I was serious.-

-I know but Alexis if you ever hurt that boy I'll kill you.-

-You mean you'll die trying. No mater I need you to do me a favor.-

-Sure.-

-A girl is coming to Port Charles I stole something from her. Give her what she want until I'm ready to deal with her.-

-Now I work for you?-

-No just helping me out.-



Once cleaned up Jason put her back in her spot and Alexis went into deep meditation. She gave him a list of thing to buy for her. Jason noticed her immediately all that red hair stood out but there was an inner light around her that was bright.



-Excuse me?-

-Yes?-

-I know what happened to your crystal.-

-Well that's new, tell me tall blonde and handsome your name.-

-Jason Morgan.-

-Willow Rosenburg, so what happen to my crystal?-

-Its broken.-

-If it is that a bad thing for you. Where is it? Who did it? and why are you involved?-

-One question at a time can take you to a hotel.-



Willow regarded Morgan he reminded her of every dangerous man she ever met in her life including Angel. He even looked a little like Angel, noticed his side, he carry a gun.



-So what do you do Mr. Morgan?-

-I'm the coffee business.-



Willow settled in and then asked him to have lunch with her. They sat down, Willow noticed the dark hair man and women looking at them.



-So coffee business is that Soprano for mob?-



Jason almost choked.



-Excuse me?-

-The gun and the dangerous stance a look I've seen it enough times my life to know a dangerous character when I see one. Since your not in my line of business then your in another. You don't look like the super spy type, you seem more like mob.-



He was impressed.



-I'm in the coffee business.-

-Fair enough, so why would you want to get into my line of work.-

-What is your line of business?-

-Evil.-

-Excuse me?-

-Evil, bad mean things that hurt people for the pleasure of it.-

-You're a cop.- Statement.

-No businesswomen like you. Just not coffee.-

-Okay I don't understand what that means.-

-Yeah kinda like the Coffee business. So tell me about the crystal?-

-What do you want to know?-

-Who took it? Who broke it? Why they broke it? Do they know what they did?-

-I don't know who took it, or who broke and why. But I assume they do know what they did.-

-I just took over a failing company the crystal was in a file that had noting in it. No explanation as to why it was there what was for or who it belong to. Things like that can be dangerous very dangerous.-

-How?-

-People could simply die.-



She didn't pull punches she was blunt.



-Could it be poisonous?-

-I touched it myself so no.-

-I have something that is. Can you tell me where it came from?-

-Sure.-



Jason took out a Leather case with the very spine that was in Alexis back.-

-A poisonous spine from what I don't know, mind if I scan it?-

-No.-



Willow took out her PDA and ran it over the spine then she dialed a number. The sound of a modem working and she read the information and looked at him.



-Where did you get it?-

-I found it by the docks in the water.-

-Your lying but its a good one, if you where talking to someone who doesn't know what it is.-

-What is it?-

-Oh no Mr. Morgan I want to know where you got it from, who you got it from, and what happened to my crystal?-



Jason leaned over and began talking to Willow. Courtney, Carly and Sonny notice the exchange. Carly got up and walked over to the table despite Courtney protest.



-Jason?-



Willow saw the look on his face at the dark haired women. Jason looked annoyed, he didn't seem like the type of man you annoyed too much.



-What is it Carly?- His tone hard and deadly

-How long are you going to be mad at us like this?-



Jason blinked in anger and surprise. Carly instantly know she'd made a mistake in her wording.



-Go Carly just go.-



In changing the subject.



-Who's this?-

-Willow Rosenburg nice to meet you.-

-How you do you know Jason?-

-He picked me up at the airport, why I don't know yet he won't tell me.-

-You haven't told me anything yet either.-



Carly looked at the exchange there was an attraction there.



-Courtney's here, are you mad at her to?-

-Carly! Leave it alone.-

-Mr. Morgan you do understand that I have to run an investigation, are you going to give me a hard time on it?-

-No Ms. Rosenburg I'm not I just would like to know what you're going to getting into.-

-I've been in my line of work sense I was 16 years old MR. Morgan. I've faced allot trust me when I tell you I can take very good care of myself. You have made yourself apart of my investigation now are going to tell me what happened to my crystal and who stole it or not?-

-A crystal is that what this little meetings about?- Carly said but they ignored her.

-MS. Rosenburg I don't know who stole the crystal I just know that is broken.-

-What about the spine? Where did you get it?-

-I found it on the docks. What is it?-



They went back forth like that until they where yelling at each other.



-ENOUCH!- Sonny finally said.

-All right have it your way Mr. Morgan. Don't give me an answer, but if you get in my way as I'm trying to find the answers, the fact the your in the "Coffee business" wont mean jack shit to me. Remember my line work make yours look "Legit."-



Jason sighed that not what Alexis asked him to do but she was keep him in the dark he thought he could get Willow to talk.



-Ms. Rosenburg...-

-Jason wait who was that women?-

-None of your business. Excuse me I have to talk to her.-

-Jason wait.- She grabbed his arm as Willow disappeared out of the Grill.

-What Courtney?- He said annoyed.

-What is going on with you?-
