Chapter 33

"Nurse Webber, I think it is time for us to have a discussion." Epiphany said crossing her arms over her chest.

Elizabeth closed the file she was working on and turned to face Epiphany. "Ok."

Epiphany sucked in a breath, "I realize that your new relationship poses certain safety risks in your life, however this cannot continue." She pointed at the guard standing a few feet from the desk.

Elizabeth looked from Epiphany to her guard of the day, Milo. "Epiphany, I see what you mean but even if I tried to send him away, he wouldn't go."

"I know that Mr. Morgan has a good heart and this is nothing personal against you or him… that being said I do not want his business feet from my patients, even if that is a guard for you."

Elizabeth nodded.

"Elizabeth, you are a fine nurse, probably one of the best that I have here on staff, but if this situation does not change… you will not be able to work here."

Elizabeth suddenly felt nauseous. "What if I talked him into staying over there in the waiting area and ask them to not hover so much?"

"I would be willing to work with you on it, however I do not think I can say the same for Dr. Ford. He will put an end to it." Elizabeth looked at Milo who seemed to be hearing parts of the conversation. Milo gave her an apologetic look and backed away a few feet toward the waiting area.

"Things are crazy right now, I think the guards will ease back after a little while." Elizabeth explained.

"I hope so Elizabeth, I'd hate to lose you on my staff." Epiphany said as she walked away. Elizabeth stood there thinking about what she can do. She did not want to quit her job but if it came down to working here or staying with Jason, she would choose Jason without a second thought.

The elevators opened and Elizabeth looked up to see who was approaching the desk. She let out a low groan. "Hey Carly, what can I do for you?'

"Aren't you little miss helpful. How are things with Jason, can you make sure you give me warning before you leave him all hurt and alone so I can be prepared to pick up the pieces of your mess?" Carly snipped.

"Are you here to harass me or do you need something, psych appointment perhaps?" Elizabeth snapped back.

Carly forced a fake laugh "So you are a comedian now. I have an appointment with Dr. Lee."

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, "Are you pregnant Carly?"

"Not that I would tell you if I was… but no, I am not… yet." Carly crossed her arms, "Are you?"

Elizabeth laughed and picked up the phone to page Kelly. "Dr. Lee should be here shortly, you can have a seat."

"Actually, I'll wait right here. You didn't answer my question Lizzie… is miss perfect preggers?"

"No Carly, I am not pregnant."

Carly turned to Milo, "How did you get stuck on this job, who did you piss off to be assigned to miss perfect?"

Milo held up his hands as if to say that he was not getting involved. "I get it Milo, you don't want to tell me in front of her, I'll talk to you later." She winked to him.

Elizabeth looked at the clock and paged Dr. Lee again, there was not much more of Carly she could take before she lost it on her. "Carly…" Elizabeth sighed. "It is obvious that we will be in each others lives for a long time, why don't we both learn to be polite and cordial to each other?"

Carly looked at her for a moment before bursting out laughing. Elizabeth shook her head as she saw Kelly approaching the nurses station. "Thank goodness you are here. Nice talking to you Carly" Elizabeth said and turned her back to them. Once they walked away she returned to her work. She looked up at Milo and said, "How do you deal with her all the time?"

She did not expect an answer so she was surprised when he replied, "Why do you think I volunteer to guard you and not her." She flashed him a smile and went back to her work.

"I think I am being tailed." Lucky stated to Sam. They were driving to the Quartermaine's to visit Luke.

"Do you? Is someone following you now?" Sam asked.

"No, it is more of a feeling. It seems like there is always a car or someone around, know what I mean… even if I am just walking down on the docks. I have only had this feeling for the last day or so." Lucky said.

Sam reached and grabbed his hand, "You are probably just paranoid."

"Rick said the same thing when I mentioned it to him. With everything going down tomorrow night I need to be sure that I am not being followed." Lucky said looking in his rear view mirror. "Rick said it could possibly be the Perez's tailing me to keep tabs to be sure I am not trying to pull one over on them."

"So, not to change the subject… what is your final decision on Jason and Sonny?" Sam asked. "You know I am with you whatever way you plan, you know where I stand?"

"What's that?"

"Jason and Sonny would come after us, we need to take care of them. Not to mention Joey Perez has quite a large sum of money waiting for us if we do." She knew that this was about revenge, mostly for Lucky, only partly for her. Sure she wanted Jason to suffer and wanted to take something from him. He took the most important thing from her… because of him she can never have children. Besides the revenge she wanted the money and Lucky knew that.

For Lucky, it was all about revenge. He wanted Jason to suffer. He believed that Jason and Sonny had poisoned this city. Jason stole his family, his life. Deep down he knew that he wanted to personally hold the gun to Jason's head and pull the trigger. Sonny would be a nice bonus but the hair on the back of his neck stood at the thought of killing Jason Morgan. He finally spoke up, "I agree Sam, we need to do it. We will go with the plan tomorrow night."

Sam nodded as they pulled into the Quartermaine's. A little more then a day from now she will be rich and be rid of Jason forever.

Jason walked into Sonny's Livingroom as sonny was hanging up the phone.

"Jase, what do you have for me?"

"It's Rick, he is the link. Spinelli found records. He has been using a pre-paid phone, but he has been using the same one. I know that he called Lucky a few times so Spinelli was able to figure out the number and found many calls to a Miami area number in the past few months. I'm sure it is him."

Sonny leaned forward in his chair and rubbed his forehead. "So Rick has cut a deal with them and recruited Lucky once everything with you and Elizabeth went down. Are you sure this information is accurate that Spinelli found?"

"Yes, if you would like to see it yourself I will bring him over to show it to you."

"No, if you say it is valid then I believe you." Sonny sated simply.

Jason leaned on the arm of the couch. "So, what do we do about the three of them? Bring them in or don't bother, should we just take them out?"

"Well I know what you want to do." Sonny sighed. "What about our tail, anything new?"

"No, Lucky has not done much except visit the PCPD."

"Ok, things are too quiet today for anything to happen. Wait till tomorrow to make a move on them. In the meantime I am going to go pay my brother a visit, see if he squirms… although knowing him he will admit to it." Sonny chuckled.

"I'm going to go get the boys, call me after you meet with Rick." Jason headed out of the house and over to Audrey's.
