Chapter 32

They arrived home after a quiet car ride. The only words spoken were from Elizabeth who told Jason that she would just run in and get the boys.

"Did they show you how to use the alarm system?" Jason asked.

Elizabeth nodded, "Come on Cam, lets go get you ready for bed."

Jason held a sleeping Jake and headed up the steps to place him in his crib. A few minutes later Jason went in and kissed Cameron goodnight and headed back downstairs. Elizabeth did not come down.

Jason was about to head up the steps when Spinelli knocked on the door. Jason had called him when Elizabeth was inside Audrey's house getting the boys.

"The Jackal is here for prodigy watch."

Jason nodded and turned up the steps. He went in the bedroom and Elizabeth was sitting on the bench at the end of the bed. "Hey, can we talk?" he asked.

"Go ahead." She replied.

"Not here, come on. Spinelli is here for a little bit we are going to go out." She seemed more annoyed. She sucked in a deep breath and stood up.

In almost a sigh she said "I'll do whatever you want." He took her hand and led her down the steps. "Hey Spinelli."

"Hello maternal one, be assured that the young prodigies are in good hands while you are out."

She forced a smile, "Thanks Spinelli." Jason led her out the door and instead of over to the car he led her to his bike and handed her a helmet. She looked into his eyes, "Look you don't have to do this, we can go for a ride another night."

"I know I don't have to, I want to. Now, get on this bike." He smiled, climbed on the motorcycle and kick started the engine. She couldn't hide her smile as she put on her helmet. He held out a hand and helped her on the back of the bike. She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and pushed them under his jacket to keep them warm.

A few minutes later they were riding to nowhere. She loved the smell of his leather jacket and the feeling of the holding him tight as he weaved the bike around on back roads.

He finally pulled the bike over at a small park. As soon as she took the helmet off he grabbed her waist and pulled her to him. Jason dipped his head and kissed her till she pulled back for a breath. He released her, "I forgot how good it felt to have you holding on to me as we ride." He took her hand and led her to a bench. "I need to talk to you about the guards and the people behind the warehouse explosion."

"Jason, I understand, there is a threat. I just need to get used to it. I will be fine."

"No that's not it, well it is, but…" he linked his fingers in hers. "It is who it is."

"Who is it?"

"It is an organization from south Florida that is headed up by a guy named Joseph Perez. But, they have recruited some locals to help with the legwork. So far we know of two but we are still trying to figure out the link between them and the Perez's, there is no way that they went looking to hook up with the Perez's."

"Who?"

"Lucky and Sam." Jason said in almost a whisper.

Elizabeth laughed, "Yea right." She looked at Jason's eyes and saw that he was not kidding. "You are serious, Lucky… involved in a bombing and organized crime?"

"Elizabeth, not involved, he actually planted the bomb. I have surveillance footage." She felt like she was punched in the stomach. She sat in silence as he told her all the information they have so far, including the meeting he took in Miami and the large bank account Lucky now has.

"What I am the most worried about is not losing our inventory or warehouses. Lucky is doing this for revenge more then the money. There is not telling what he is going to do. I don't know if they asked him to go after me or Sonny. My mind has been going nonstop. I am even worried that he may try to take the boys, which is why I don't want them at Audrey's. I just… I don't know."

Elizabeth felt tears in her eyes. "I can't believe this. How did I marry him? It is hard to believe that he has changed this much."

"Elizabeth, he is not the same person he was all those years ago. If there is one thing I have learned it is that people do change, can change… and it is not always for the good."

He brushed her hair from her face and wiped it dry. "I did think to him. My lies turned him into this animal."

Jason placed his hand under her chin and turned her head so she was looking at him, "No, don't you blame yourself. You did not do this, Lucky did. Everyone has a choice Elizabeth. You can choose to do the right thing or the wrong thing, choose to do things the easy way or correctly the long way. Lucky made his choice… it was his choice. The same goes for Sam."

"What is going to happen to them?" she asked.

He shook his head, "I don't know. I have a feeling that it does not matter what we do, from what I have heard, these guys from Miami are worse then Anthony Zacharra. I'm sure he does not plan on paying Lucky and Sam to finish whatever they came back here for. They would not leave witnesses like that."

She nodded and leaned into him. After a few minutes they stood up and climbed back on the bike. She held her arms around him even tighter for the ride home. Once they pulled up to the house Elizabeth climbed off the back of the bike, kissed and hugged him. "Thank you Jason… for the ride, for telling me, everything. I love you."

"I love you too." He kissed her again and was instantly interrupted by the sound of his phone ringing. She left him outside on the phone and went in to check on Spinelli and the boys.

"Morgan"

"Jason, I talked to my guy in the PCPD. Apparently Lucky talked to Cruz briefly then said he was going to talk to Mac, but he never went to Scorpios office, he went to Rick's."

"Why would Lucky talk to Rick?" Jason asked himself out loud. "Thanks Max. Call me if you get any more information." Jason flipped his phone closed and made his way into the house.

Spinelli was sitting on the couch talking with Elizabeth. "Spinelli, I need you to get me some information."

"Want me to leave the room? Should I not hear this?" Elizabeth asked.

"You can stay. I need you to look into Rick." Elizabeth and Spinelli's faces showed shock. "It seems that Lucky paid him a visit today. Why would Lucky go see Rick, especially when he is on leave for work."

"So you think he is working with Rick? That is so… wow."

"I will make my departure instantaneously and initiate my research without delay." Spinelli got up from the couch. "Have a good night fair Elizabeth."

"Goodnight Spinelli, thank you for staying with the boys."

"You are most welcome. I will keep you informed Stonecold" Spinelli said as he walked out the door.
