It had almost been a week since the dinner and his conversation with Monica and in that time Anna had some how managed to get a job working for Diane, not that he really thought she should be working but Diane was a safe bet, but in that time he racked his brain trying to figure out who told Tracy that Anna was his. He grabbed a beer as he waited Sam was due home in the next hour or so and the cat was out of the bag, he knew one hundred percent that Sam was the one to let the Quartermaine's know.

He uncapped the beer and took a pull, draining half the bottle in one go, he felt betrayed, she went behind his back and involved the family, to what end he could only guess, Anna gone or her with them and not him.

A knock on the door pulled him from his thoughts, not Sam, she had no need to knock yet, he thought making his way to the door and wrenching it open.

"Zacchara." He muttered under his breath.

Claudia rolled her eyes. "Well isn't that a nice way to be greeted."

"What do you need?" He questioned with a tired sigh.

Claudia in true fashion for her, strolled past him like she owned the dawn place. "Shipments for next month. Why are you in a mood every time I come around."

Jason closed the door and turned to face her grabbing the beer he had set on the desk and took a pull before speaking. "Because you," He let out a breath. "were right."

She may have been surprised but didn't show it only moving to the bar and grabbing a drink of her own before looking to him pointedly.

"Sam." Was his only response as he finished the beer, moving to the bar were she stood.

Claudia hummed in response. "I told you it wouldn't end well. What did she do?" She didn't mind the young Morgan, in fact she liked the girl that had her brother in knots.

He studied her for moment before pouring a drink for himself and replying. "She told, Tracy about Anna."

Stupid, was all she could think, his a relationship or lack there of with his family was well known. "My, my she pulled the pin and now you're the grenade."

Jason closes his eyes and nodded slightly. "She's my daughter not a fucking pawn in a game, Claudia."

"I am well aware, Jason, this is why I issued the warning. Now it's all about what you are going to do about it because if you won't protect her, Johnny will and you know it" She said issuing a challenge.

Jason's jaw clenched. "She's not going to get a chance to use Anna as a pawn again." He bit out, teeth clenched.

As if she knew what was happening Sam strolled through the door of the penthouse. "What are you doing here?" She asked setting a bag on the desk looking towards Claudia.

Claudia smirked. "I was just leaving." She said before draining her glass, setting it on the bar and moving to the door but pausing as she got close to Sam. "Tread carefully, Anna had more then just Morgan watching her back." She hissed before skipping out the door.

Sam's face was shocked. "She threatened me, Jason."

Jason had to stop himself from laughing. "It wasn't a threat for whatever reason the Zacchara's seem to have taken a shine to Anna, unlike you."

"Jason, whatever she told you was a lie." Sam said defensively.

"She didn't tell me anything but Tracy did." He said letting her tie her own noose.

She paled slightly but stood firm. " They are her family, Jason."

He resisted the urge to snap before replying. "We're done."

"What!" Came her shrill reply. "She's been in town all of two weeks and you're telling me we're done, this isn't right, this is what she wants Jason."

Jason stepped closer, careful not to get to close, he didn't trust himself in that moment not to lash out. "It's what I want. I told you, Sam, I told you not to make me choose and you forced my hand."

Sam's eyes turned cold at that comment. "She my be your daughter but she's grown, yeah she may have fucked around with mommy's men."

Jason cut her off, glass braking as he dropped his glass. "Get out, I will send you your thing and do not talk about my daughter again." He said his tone cold and harsh as he spoke.
