Chapter Eleven

"I asked you a question boy. Where is Elizabeth?" Jason snarled as he felt the beast within start to roar.

"I don't know." Lucky Spencer whimpered.

"Why should I believe you?" Jason growled.

"You're the killer not me." Lucky retorted as he tried to get away from Jason.

"I'm not the one stalking Elizabeth." Jason roared.

"No? Then how did you know I was even there." Lucky asked condescendingly.

"We had a date. I know you were messing with her at Kelly's. I know you went to her studio the next day. Didn't I tell you to stay away you punk?" Jason roared again as he held his arms roughly.

"You don't own me." Lucky spat as he struggled to pull away.

"Elizabeth was afraid of you. You wanted her back she said no..." Jason roared.

"I don't know where she is." Lucky whispered thinking he was about to die.

"I don't think I care. I'm going to make you pay." Jason vowed.

"I knew it. I warned Elizabeth," he taunted with false bravado.

"Warned her about what?" he snapped.

"You. You're a monster." Lucky spat with disgust.

"Am I? I would suggest you watch your mouth. I'm not in the mood to be nice." Jason said calmly, too calmly. The only hint of his rage was the shift in his eyes.

"Wh... what are you?" Lucky stammered as he started in to the eyes of a beast. Lucky felt not for the first time he was the one being hunted and it terrified him.

"Your worst nightmare." Jason chuckled as he watched Lucky lose control of all of his bodily functions. 'Disgusting creatures. Too bad they taste so good.' the beast interjected.

Lucky whimpered when Jason hit him. The first punch in the stomach left him breathless. The next several punches shattered his ribs. His head hit the brick wall causing his vision to blur. Tremendous pain flooded his body. Lucky began to beg and plead for it to be over. Even death was welcome at this point.

Jason was done playing with the boy. His pleading was only serving to infuriate him even more. Finally, he willing surrendered control to the beast. The attack lasted less than five minutes. The first thing he did was sink his fangs deep into the boy's throat. Lucky's screams were quickly silenced as his blood flowed from his body. However, the beast's impatience soon manifested itself. Lucky's throat was ripped out spraying blood across Jason. That was just the beginning.

Next Jason slashed at Lucky's body. His chest and abdomen became a network of gashes and tears. The smell of blood and fear filled the air. The beast delighted in being let loose. Soon there was almost nothing-recognizable left. Just random pieces of what used to be Lucky Spencer's body.

Jason wiped his mouth with his sleeve. He knew he was no closer to finding Elizabeth but now he could think. He glanced around a few times before stepping out of the alley.

"You're a mess." Sonny growled as he looked up at his protégé.

"Yeah, well the little punk pissed me off." Jason snarled as he wiped his mouth again.

"So he doesn't have Elizabeth." Sonny asked finally as he handed the younger man a wet towel to wipe his face.

"No, but we knew that." Jason stated unapologetically.

"I hoped... that doesn't matter now. Sorrel is the mostly likely suspect." Sonny asked he walked to the bar and poured himself a scotch.

"If it's Sorrel he should be contacting us soon." Jason said talking almost to himself. He was so worried about Elizabeth that he couldn't even concentrate. All that mattered to him was getting her back and getting her back safe and sound, because when he did he would never let her go again.

Just at that moment, the phone rang. "Right on cue. Jason, I know she means something to you but I want you to let me handle this." Sonny said calmly as he walked over to the phone.

"No. Sonny no." Jason argued as he too rushed to the telephone.

"You're too close to this. We need a clear head. Sorrel, he needs her alive for his plan to work." Sonny said calmly as he tried to convince his friend.

"But for how long? What if she's hurt?" Jason snapped hotly as his desperation to find her rose.

"We'll deal with that when we find her." Sonny assured his friend. "Sorrel I've been expecting your call." Sonny said in a level voice as he watched the fury radiate off of Jason's body in waves.

"I was wondering if you'd figure out it was me." Sorrel taunted.

"It wasn't hard to figure out. Ms. Webber does not have any enemies. That narrowed the field considerably." Sonny retorted.

"How much is she worth to you and Morgan?" Sorrel asked snidely.

"What do you want?" Sonny asked as he watched Jason pace back and forth while muttering under his breath about ripping Sorrel's heart out and tearing his body to shreds.

"I have a shipment coming through in ten hours. I want you to allow it to go through. Once it's safe I'll tell you where the girl is." Sorrel answered.

"I'm not letting you run drugs through my territory." Sonny said with authority.

"Then the girl dies. Either way I win." Sorrel retorted with a laugh.

"How do I even know she's alive?" Sonny demanded.

"Of course, how rude of me. Ms. Webber, someone wants to talk to you." Sorrel said almost gleefully as he handed the phone to Elizabeth.

"Hello?" Elizabeth said softly into the phone, just wanting, just needing to hear her Jason's sweet voice.

"Elizabeth, its Sonny. Are you okay?" he asked as he heard the fear in her voice.

"I... I think so.," she mumbled wishing that it was Jason not Sonny, but knew that Jason would lose it when he saw what they had done to her.

"Did thy hurt you?" Sonny asked.

"Don't tell Jason," she whispered.

"I won't." Sonny promised knowing Jason could hear every word being said. "It'll be okay."

"Now, you've talked to her. As you heard, she is alive. Do we have a deal?" Sorrel asked as he jerked the phone out of her hand.

"Fine. We have a deal." Sonny spat angrily.

"I knew that you'd see things my way. I will call you with her location when my shipment is safe. It's a pleasure doing business with you." Sorrel laughed and then closed his phone.

"She's not going to last twelve hours." Jason said in a low voice. The thought of losing her almost paralyzed him with fear.

"That's why we're going to find her before the shipment goes through." Sonny told him.

"I hate this. The waiting." Jason roared as he threw a bottle against the wall and watched it shatter.

"Go find Spinelli; see if he's found anything. And Jason try not to scare the kid. We need him to find Elizabeth." Sonny said as he laid his hand on Jason's shoulder in assurance.

"Well it seems that Morgan does love you." Sorrel taunted as he looked down at the bruised and beaten brunette.

"Please don't do this," she whispered as she looked at the older man.

"This is a good lesson for you. Be careful who you associate yourself with in the future." Sorrel said gently. "Untie her and take her over to the cot."

"Aren't you worried she's going to escape?" his henchman asked.

"No. She isn't going anywhere." Sorrel remarked as he stared at her coldly.

Elizabeth wanted to cry when the man picked her up. Every inch of her hurt. When she was tossed on the cot, Elizabeth immediately curled in to a ball. Her ribs burned and it was hard to breath. Her head was spinning. Elizabeth knew instinctively that her injuries were severe. As badly as she wanted to stay awake, it was easier to succumb to the pain than fight it. Her last thoughts were of the man she loved and her hope that he would find her in time.
