PS: There is a little violence in this chapter

She awoke the second time when the incessant ringing from the phone would not stop. The first time she had woken up to the sound of JJ crying over the baby monitor. Jason had kissed her and told her to go back to bed. She smiled as she watched him pull his jeans on to tend to their son. As the moonlight hit his naked skin she smiled and turned back over...it was nice having him home. But now in daylight he was gone again...she knew it was for the better, but it didn't stop that longing in her heart.

It was the ringing that finally brought her from her thoughts; annoyed that someone was calling at eight in the morning on a Saturday.

"Hello" she answered groggily.

There was a silence and shuffling of the phone, "um Alexis, it's Jax"

"Jax, you are my favorite ex husband, but why are you calling me at 8 in the morning?" she complained.

And then he said the one thing that had her in her power suit in 10 minutes; thankfully Viola came by early. Forty minutes after Jax called her she was strolling in the PCPD.

"Hi Miss Davis" Cruz said looking up from his paperwork.

She nodded, "Detective Rodriguez...can you point me in the direction of the commissioner?"

"Over in Interrogation 2" he announced knowing not to mess with Miss Davis when she was in her stealth mode. And the way she was walking and talking...she wasn't to be toyed with.

The door flung open and Jason was hooked to the table, Sam yelling at Mac, and Mac yelling at Jason who just stared at him stoically.

"What did I tell you about violating my client's civil rights?" she asked cooly.

Silence followed as Mac slowly spun around, "your client?" he asked in disbelief.

"Yes Commissioner Scorpio...will that be a problem?"

Mac shook his head wondering how a man like Jason Morgan earned women like Alexis Davis' undying affection.

"Well your client her has been arrested for attempted murder of DA Lansing" he said handing her the pictures or Ric Lansing's face.

His words played back in her head...the cut on his lip. But she feigned ignorance, "and what proof do you have?"

"Well unfortunately Mr. Morgan doesn't have an alibi for last night...you see at the time of the assault Mrs. Samantha Morgan is under surveillance at the Metro Court restaurant...dining with Miss Carly Corinthos, Mr. Jasper Jax and Mr. Sonny Corinthos"

She didn't react; instead mentally chastising him. He just looked at her with the same stone face he gave everyone. The only difference was in his eyes...in those bright blue eyes.

Before she could think the words were spilling out of her mouth, "Jason was with me last night"

Sam's mouth dropped open and Max groaned, "what?"

Alexis stared deep into Jason's eyes, "Jason was with me last night...all night"

Mac nodded but responded sarcastically, "how do you explain the split lip counselor"

"Well Mac..sometimes the headboard gets in the way" she responded the Natasha side of her personality peaking out.

This time Mac was rendered speechless and Sam bit her lip to keep from laughing at the insanity of the situation. Mac grumbled, "I will get the release papers" Sam followed leaving the couple in the room together.

She had already started glaring, "what the hell were you thinking?" she asked her voice a whisper.

"What the hell were you thinking giving me an alibi?" he asked matching her tone.

Her eyes rolled at him, "oh don't give me that crap"

Suddenly he felt bad for putting her in this situation, "I'm sorry...I should have told you..."

"Duh"

He looked at her flabbergasted, "duh" he asked.

That brought a dimple peaking out, "shut up"

Just then Mac walked back in, "he is free to go" he said annoyed unlocking Jason's handcuffs.

"Thank you" Alexis said smiling demurely as they walked out.

In front of the PCPD Luke met them with a crazy look in his eyes; Alexis knew it could mean only one thing.

"The bat has flown the coop...it's our chance Morgan"

Jason looked to her an apology in his eyes. She simply smiled a sad smile, "go"

He nodded a million thoughts from him passing through just a glance finally breaking their connection and turning to Luke, "let's go" he said before jumping into the waiting car

Before he left Alexis turned to Luke, "If anything happens to him; heads will be rolling"

Luke smiled but then got serious, "I promise Tash"

Alexis watched the car roll down the street until it was a tiny speck...and she said a silent prayer...a prayer that everything would be okay.

She walked in the lake house tired and threw her keys on the end table. The next thing she knew she was looking at her ex husband sitting on the couch with a horribly black and blue face.

"What the hell are you doing here?" she asked.

There was something she saw in his face that made he start walking away from him; he started to yell...spout the ugliest things. And she rounded the corner, actually afraid of him. She had forgotten that he once lived in the house too as he cut her off at the corner.

Quickly he grabbed her arms roughly and pulled her close to him, "look at what your mobster boyfriend did to me" he growled.

At that moment she was scared...she had never been scared of Ric; even at his angriest point she could laugh him off. But now she was physically afraid of him...the way he was holding her. So at first she tried to reason with him.

"Ric, let me go" she asked as calmly as she could.

He laughed evilly, "let you go...let you go. Just like you got the police to let your precious Jason go. I can't believe you lied to get him out of jail. Alexis I thought you had better morals than that...I guess like mother like daughter...you like screwing married men?" he asked his voice on her ear.

At that moment she was more pissed than scared and she thrust her knee forward into into his groin. Unfortunately her hit wasn't well timed and he recovered quicker than she could run as he grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back dropping her and then standing over her taunting her. This time she stabbed her stiletto hard into his thigh causing him to fall to the ground and writhe in pain. Then she ran to her bedroom locking the door behind her and then running to the closet. Jason had insisted on the latest security system and she pressed the panic button that alerted the police and Stan that something was happening. As soon as she did she heard Ric start to pound on the door. She thought about sticking something in front until she heard the splintering of a chair up against the door. As she looked around the room for a weapon she spotted the brass lamp and quickly grabbed it.

OoOoOoO

"Oh Luke what a surprise" Helena said smiling.

He smiled back, "oh well Hells, you know me"

"Did my grandson send you? I still don't understand why he was so upset about the whole Spencer thing...ugh, what a God awful name" she lamented.

Luke didn't get a chance to respond when Jason come in putting the gun to her head. Helena froze; this wasn't Luke's style.

"What the-" she responded.

When she heard his voice she sneered, "the mouse, how that ingrate"

And that was all that had to be said and Jason made her stop talking. Luke stood there speechless...something he couldn't do for years was done in a moment. Three men came in to clean up the mess.

Jason turned to Luke, "she won't hurt her anymore" he said before walking away.

Alexis sat on the couch shaking...every time she closed her eyes she could feel Ric on her. She had tried to hit him when he finally came through the door but he tackled her knocking the wind out of her...she was scared of what he was capable of...and when he ripped her blouse off she kicked and fought with everything in her somehow finding the strength to push him off. She ran through the living room just as Sonny burst through the door. He saw her ripped shirt and bruised face and drew his gun...there were no words as Ric's life ended...when Mac came in he took one look at Alexis and called it self defense. Now she just sat there feeling cold and empty while the men cleaned up around her.

It was then she felt him...a strong sense coming over her. And when he walked through the door she ran to him throwing herself in his arms..and then letting the emotion burst forth.

He kissed her head, held her...Sonny had called on the road and told him what happened. If Ric wouldn't have already been dead he would have ripped him limb from limb.

She pulled back, "you're okay" she said her hands on his cheeks drinking him in.

"Everything is going to be okay now...I promise" he said the sight of the bruise on her face made him overcome with emotion.

In that moment she knew what he meant...everything really was going to be okay...and she wrapped herself in him...

She was finally free...
