Your welcome to all who thanked me for killing Sam. We have only a couple more chapters, so we should be finished by the end of the week. Thanks to Helena has exactly eight more chapters to go, leaving only the epilogue to be worked out.
So on with the story.
Chapter 12
Mac was just sitting down to an early dinner when he got the message to call Jasper Jacks. Calling the Australian he looked at his healthy salad then said "I will be right there."
Arriving at the Metrocourt he saw the blond with Vee and her husband along with a man he knew was engaged to Elizabeth Webber. Well this should be good; he thought to himself. Sitting down to join them, he had just taken a drink of water when Jack started speaking.
"Sir, the poker tournament was a set up. Several gamblers that owe the various members of this group favors came to town so that we could catch Sam McCall stealing the funds. We set up new recording equipment, let her accomplice piggy back into our signal and have been waiting for them to make a move." He didn't mention their plan to scare her with the Dead man's hand.
Jax continued. "Unfortunately Luke Spencer's death caused a slight change of plans, some of the gamblers got a little nervous and we transferred the money to the First National Bank. Sam was set up to make it to the final table, the gamblers who bought in didn't care since they were still going home with their buy-ins."
Mac just stared, knowing he didn't have to tell them the danger they had placed themselves in. "Okay, so why am I here?"
"Sam never showed up for the games today." stated Vee. "I called in a favor and talked to the man in charge of your angle monitoring system and he said that she has been around town, shopping and spending a lot of time at your daughter's apartment."
Mac closed his eyes knowing what was coming next. "Maxie is wearing the anklet."
"Yes, I am sorry sir." said Vee. "We figured they did it somehow yesterday afternoon."
Calling Harper he told the detective to track down Sam McCall and arrest whoever was wearing the bracelet. The detective called back and said "She is at Maxie's apartment sir."
"Like I said, arrest whoever is wearing it." he said then hung up. "Did Sam take the money?"
"No, but I heard from Patrick Drake that Spinelli is locked up in Mercy, my guess is she is waiting for his release tomorrow." Jack then walked the man to the exit, heading to the house so he could babysit the boys while Jason and Elizabeth went on a date.
When Jack arrived home, he heard Elizabeth and the boys in the kitchen eating dinner. Seeing them, he couldn't help wishing things had gone differently in his life, but knew that living a lie for his parents and a family would have killed him. When Romport entered, Elizabeth thanked her for supervising that evening.
"Hey, I am perfectly capable of keeping an eye on these two." said Jack pretending to be offended.
"One phrase, Jack. Hershey's chocolate syrup on Cheerios." said a laughing Elizabeth as she went to change ignoring Jack's pouting. As she stood in her closet, she tore things out, tossing them on the bed, trying some of them on, then removing them so they could join the growing pile.
Hearing an ahem, she turned to see Robin standing there. "What am I going to do, I have nothing to wear." she wailed.
Walking into Elizabeth's closet which was the size of Emma's bedroom and glancing around at all the clothes she came back out and said "What happened in there, it looked like a hurricane went through and what do you need to change for?"
"Wait, why are you here?" she asked as Robin handed her her bathrobe so she was wearing more than her underclothes.
"I was passing on a message from my mother and stop trying to change the subject." she said with her hands on her hips.
"What message?" asked Elizabeth as she attacked her pile.
"That she has the files and is having them delivered by someone with a vested interest in the truth. Now talk." said Robin pointing her finger at Elizabeth.
"Okay, here it is. WAIT!, there is something I need to tell you first. Jack really is gay, we pretended to be engaged in case Jason tried to take Jake away from me. But now that we know the truth, Jason and I are going on an adult date, to the movies and dinner so I have to find something to wear and I hate everything in my closet and don't have time to shop and what does one wear on an adult date, and I don't even know what movie we are going to see and does Jason EVEN LIKE movies. And dinn...."
Robin picked up a t-shirt and used it to block Elizabeth from speaking. "Thank goodness for blessed silence. I am sorry I ever asked you to talk. Did you take even one breath in the middle of that?"
Sitting down on her bed, Elizabeth burst into tears, and Robin just sat down Indian style on the floor in front of her and said "Okay, first we figure out what you are going to be wearing/"
Finding her a pair of jeans and a moss green shirt, she handed them to Elizabeth who rejected them saying. "Jason has already seen me in those."
"When, this looks summery." she stated only for Elizabeth to explain that it was the day of the fire at the coffee shop.
"Then Jason Morgan has seen them, Quartermaine hasn't." she said telling her to get dressed then sent her back into the closet with a different bra. "That one looks sexier."
"Robin, I don't intend to sleep with Jason, at least not tonight." said the brunette exasperated with her friend when she tossed in a pair of boots.
"Okay, show me." When Elizabeth came out, Robin said "perfect, not slutty but it doesn't scream harried mom of two. Now I would wear your hair up a bit."
Seeing the look of doubt, Robin said "A very loose bun, wait, no wear it down."
By the time Elizabeth walked back down the stairs, Robin had distracted her enough to keep her from going over the edge. Something that changed when she saw Jason waiting for her. "Oh god."
Watching in shock as his 'date' hurried back up the stairs, he looked at the boys who had come from the kitchen and were rushing towards him. Once he had hugged them and they had talked about dinner, he asked Robin why Elizabeth had gone back up the stairs.
"Hell if I know." she mumbled under her breath as she chased after her friend. Walking into the bedroom, she saw Elizabeth pacing back and forth arguing with herself. "What is going on?"
"What if he finds me boring?" she asked then glared at Robin when her friend started laughing. "Well?"
"You have lost your mind. That man is in love with you, go down there and reassure him you haven't changed your mind." Elizabeth went to her closet and grabbed her favorite jacket then followed Robin down the stairs. "Uh, hi."
"Hi." he said admiring her outfit. Robin just rolled her eyes, Jason Quartermaine hadn't been this awkward as a high school student. When the two had said good night to the boys and thanked Jack for babysitting, the irreverent Brit just smiled then when they were almost out the door said.
"Now be sure to have her home by her curfew, and I am sure I don't have to tell you no snogging on the first date. And remember, she is a lady and let's see, oh I know.... I had better not find you on the porch checking her tonsils." with that evil grin, he saw Jason smiling slightly while Elizabeth just said "You boys behave now. Maybe we will bring the babysitter home some sort of treat."
"Well, I certainly deserve kudos, it's not every man that babysits so his ex-fiancee can run off with another man. So, Doc Robin, what are you plans this evening?" He said with a grin at the young doctor.
"I was thinking of a phone tree." she said with a smile. "I can start with Lainey and then she can call Epiphany and hopefully by morning, Kelly will get the message that you are free, but unavailable, I think tomorrow will be great fun at work."
"You are evil." he said with a laugh. Then turning to the boys asked "So do you boys want to play some snooker before I drive you over to your grams house?"
With a cheer, Cam said yes while Jake said "Yeahhhhhh."
Jason was holding the door while Elizabeth slipped into the carseat, then he softly closed it to walk around the hood of the car saying "Now, remember Quartermaine, dating has more than likely changed just like everything else in the last fifteen years."
Looking onto the back seat before getting in the car, he saw the flowers and then grimaced. Maybe they weren't a good idea, but he was giving them to her later, before dinner. "So, what movie do you want to see?"
"I have no idea what is even out." she said with a laugh then suggested they drive to the Metroplex to see what there was. Arriving they found nothing."The boys want to see that one." she said pointing at the latest Pixar movie. "That one looks way to violent."
They had never heard of several of the films. "Well, maybe we should find something else." he said regretting he hadn't looked in the newspaper. Grabbing one from the nearest machine, he said "Wait, how going to this instead."
Elizabeth read the small blurb and smiled. "That sounds like fun for me, but are you sure you want to spend the evening at the Art Museum."
"Yes, if I remember right, didn't Monet do the paintings that look like dots up close." he said as he drove to the museum. Two hours later, they left the traveling show. Elizabeth intrigued to find that Jason Quartermaine knew a lot about art and Jason found he had enjoyed the museum a lot more with her than with his fifth grade teacher who had dragged them through Paris looking at the exact same pictures.
As they arrived at the Metrocourt, Jason looked down then over at Elizabeth, "We should go visit those paintings where they belong. Take the boys before Edward officially retires. We could spend a couple of months exploring Europe as a family."
With a wistful smile, she said "Do you remember when you bought the tickets for Italy, then Kate Howard was shot?"
"No and who is Kate Howard and why would I care if she was shot?" he asked then groaned, "Unless, did I shoot her?"
"No, it was Anthony Zachara. We had an argument that day, you brought me to her room and said that we had to end, that that could be me lying in that bed. That we couldn't do that to the boys."
Jason found himself reliving that memory as she told him what had happened. "There was a dark haired woman there, she was upset that I had used the blond to say that, wasn't she?"
"Yes." She said then heard her name. Turning she saw Jax walking over along with Jack. Groaning when she saw the smile on her friend's face, she said "Trouble coming in."
Seeing Jack, Jason glared only to be told. "I am only here for a minute. We canceled the tournament, Sam never showed up and it just wasn't any fun if she wasn't there."
"Has anyone heard from her?" asked Jason. "Where are the boys?"
"At the Hardy's. Some guy showed up, said he used to work for you, Steven verified it. Some guy named Corelli."
"Francis Corelli?" asked an excited Elizabeth while Jason looked at her and said "Do you know this man?"
"Yes, he was my guard for a while. Did you take a picture?" Seeing the photo on the phone, Elizabeth relaxed and said "That is him. He will keep the boys safe."
"Good, because Mac Scorpio has his daughter under arrest for helping Sam escape by wearing her ankle monitor. Even being in the same room with Sam was a violation of her probation but Maxie claims she had no idea when Sam slipped it on her. She claimed that when she went to bed the night before she wasn't wearing it. Claims to have a witness." he said dryly.
"Who?" asked Jason.
"Lucky Spencer who apparently spent the night." Jax said making sure Elizabeth was fine with it only for Elizabeth to laugh.
"I wonder if she won the gold, silver or bronze." she said only for Jack to laugh while Jason looked at her strangely. "I promised to explain yesterday, so anyhow. Someone compared sleeping with Sam to g.."
"...gymnastics." said Jax getting it. Only to start laughing himself then he tried to explain to Jason who had never heard the comment. "I heard it years ago from Simon."
"Well, Lucky was saying I was lousy in bed, that he missed Sam for her routines." Only to have Jax snort in disgust.
"He had to be lousy in bed himself if he thought she was any good. Like was said, she had a set routine and never varied from it. Elizabeth, I truly doubt you have anything to worry about there." said Jax only for Jason to glare at him. "Wait, I don't have first hand experience."
"I'm not worried about what Sam or Lucky thinks about me." she said with quiet dignity wondering how to change the subject when Carly walked up.
"So, how is dinner?" she asked. Then before Elizabeth could answer, she said to Jax and the others, "I need a word with Elizabeth, go away."
Jason refused to leave, his mind had shown him several instances where Carly had attacked Elizabeth only for the brunette to say they would be fine.
Looking at the flowers, and knowing that orchids weren't the usual for the tables, Carly said "Jason?"
"yes." she said with a blush.
"I would have never guessed if I hadn't seen him handing them to the waiter. He looks so awkward, until you two are talking." she admitted to watching them from the corner.
"He doesn't remember dating, or anything else." said Elizabeth.
"Then, do what Robin and I failed to do. Let him work it out, because you can see from his face, that pleasing you is his only objective." she said softly. "It's so hard to see him and know he isn't my old friend. I finally understand how the Quartermaine's felt."
"I'm sorry, for your sake, but honestly, for Jason's. I think this is the best chance he has at a life."
"Yes, even I know that he would have given everything up to be normal, for a chance with you and your sons." she said swallowing her guilt. "But Jason was trapped, by his feelings of guilt, by his fears and mainly by the people around him. They-we didn't want him to change."
Elizabeth softly laughed then said "Carly there is no such thing as normal. All we can strive for is happy. That is our goal, that and I have one more thing I want. I am hoping he wants it too."
"What's that?" she asked touching the petal of one of the flowers.
"More children. All I have ever wanted for us was a chance to find out if we can do this together. Whether as Jason Morgan or now as Quartermaine."
"Good luck." she said well aware Elizabeth wouldn't need it. She could see the look in this Jason's eyes, all the things he had hidden for years, were reflected on his face.
Johnny was walking down the docks planning delivering his partner some dinner when he heard the sound of water splashing loudly. Wondering what was going on, he was heading up the stairs when he saw Lulu with some blond guy with messy hair. "Did you hear that?"
"The water, wasn't that you?" she asked.
"No, I just left Kelly's." he said when they heard an even bigger rush of water. The threesome moved closer to the sound only for Lulu to scream as she saw what was causing the noise. "Someone help me stop this."
"Lulu, it's too late." said Dillon as he held her back while Johnny called the police. Reaching Mac Scorpio he told him what was going on just as the boat let out a huge groan and tilted onto it's side.
By the time the police and firemen arrived, all that could be seen of the boat was the gangplank that was reaching out forlornly into the open water. "What happened here?"
Lucky and Ethan showed up just in time to hear the question and when Lulu told them what she knew, the older Spencer insisted Mac arrested Johnny for sinking the boat. "On what cause?"
"Come on, Mac. You know who he is and what he does. You know he took over Sonny's territory."
"Actually I didn't. I walked away." said the man quietly. "A better suspect would be someone in your family considering the bank is planning on repossessing the boat. Besides, I was just at Kelly's when this happened."
"Yeah, right." scowled the former cop who then brightened up as he realized that the boat sinking meant they would receive the insurance policy.
Harper was coming off the Coast guard boat to talk to his boss when Anna Demera showed up. "Mac, this was the work of Jerry Jacks. I was tracking him down, he is here in town when I ran across the man he bought the bomb making materials from. He wanted low concussion bombs so they wouldn't be heard."
John looked at Mac and said "That would explain the first whoosh I heard. It sounded like water racing someplace."
Harper confirmed that it was what it looked like and said was explaining to Mac about why he was near the boat instead of looking for Sam McCall when Alexis came down to the docks. "Lulu, I just had a call from your Aunt. She would like you and your brothers to meet Laura and her at GH."
Dillon watched as Lulu and her brothers all took one last look before the river swallowed up the Haunted Star then rushed off to join their mother and aunt. Turning to the dark haired man standing there glaring at him, Dillon said "What did I do?"
"Nothing and that is the problem." he said quietly before leaving.
Elizabeth and Jason were lingering down in the parking lot, neither really wanting the night to end, when she asked if he remembered her studio. "Yes, I have memories of us there. Most of them are splotchy when others stopped in, but when it was just the two of us, they are clear."
"Would you like to see it?" she asked hopefully.
With a deep sigh, he told her about the memory he had gotten back, about how he had thought she was dead and seeing the studio. "I can't step in there, the feelings of loss, that Morgan had. I am not ready to deal with them. He was willing his heart to stop when he remembered Jake and Cam. I can't go there, not yet." he said softly.
Elizabeth saw the glassy eyes and hugged him tightly. "Of course not. Maybe some other day. Do you think we ..."
Answering her phone when she saw it was her Grams, Elizabeth said "We will be right there."
"What is it?" he asked worried.
"Cam tripped, dropping his glass, we have to meet them at GH." she said as they rushed to see their son.
Arriving in the emergency room, Elizabeth was offered a crying Jake by Steven on their way to see Cam. Laura and her family saw the entourage and Lucky decided to follow, sure that somehow, Jason had endangered his family.
Seeing Patrick Drake standing outside the curtain and laughter inside, Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief. "It's not bad. We used glue so it wouldn't scar."
Turning to her Grams and her dad, Elizabeth asked what happened while they waited on being told they could go in.
"He decided he had to be a big boy and help clear the table. It was so cute, I couldn't resist letting him." the elderly woman said feeling guilty about what had happened to her great grandson.
"So Morgan, they already had to rush one of my sons to the hospital because of you." said Lucky as he approached. "So what happened, did one of your enemies shoot him? Did they plant a bomb close enough to hurt them. Or did they just kidnap one of them again?"
"Back away, Lucky." said Jason not wanting to get into it with the clown.
"I don't think so. I told you Elizabeth, I told you he would get one of them hurt." crowed Lucky only to see Robin coming out from behind the curtain and glare at him.
Audrey stared at Lucky Spencer and couldn't help wondering why on earth he would try and hurt Elizabeth like this, let alone in front of the boys. "Actually, Mr. Spencer. Cam fell while carrying a wine glass to my kitchen while helping me clear the table."
With a look of triumph, Lucky said. "What was my son doing carrying a wine glass. Were you drinking at this party."
Bobbie saw an extraordinary sight, Audrey Hardy rolling her eyes as she counted to ten. Then when she spoke, the former nurse was reminded how tough this woman once was. "Lucky, you are an idiot. You are so blinded by jealousy that you can't see what is right in front of your face. Cam was carrying the glass to the kitchen, yes. He was trying to be a big boy, something you might want to try someday."
Elizabeth swallowed the chuckle but Patrick, Jason and the newly arrived Jack didn't. When Lucky turned red and started to threaten to go for custody of his sons, Elizabeth didn't even acknowledge him. Turning to Bobbie she said "If you will excuse us, my family wants to spend time with Cam, could you please remove Lucky from the area while we are behind the curtain."
Bobbie and Laura dragged Lucky away, reminding him he gave away all rights to Jake and had never had any to Cam. "Well that was before I found out I couldn't have kids. I want those boys back. They were mine first."
Jack stood there, then said to Patrick Drake. "Did anyone ever think to have him committed?"
"No, selfishness isn't a mental defect." he replied.
"No, but having bats in the belfry is." retorted the Brit before calling Edward Quartermaine. "Are you still looking into Spencer junior."
"Yes, why?" asked the elderly man perking up. Then he saw his television screen change. Watching it, he ignored the Brit then said "Jerry Jacks sunk that Haunted Star."
Laughing, Jack said would you please repeat that. Then went to check on his adopted family. Seeing Cam clinging to Jason and his mom while Jake just kept bouncing up and down he said "A word please, a moment of silence for the Haunted Star, it seems to have sunk to the bottom of the Port Charles River."
Harper was tired, he had tried looking for Sam, but had had no luck and the judge was refusing to authorize a search warrant for her place. Heading back to the waterfront diner, he got a call from Mac. "Judge Henderson just called. Turns out he had a guest for the last day. A man with a gun hired to keep him from issuing any search warrants. Get to McCall's apartment, I will meet you there with some uniformed officers, then we need to do a search. Damien Spinelli accessed a computer and got himself released from Mercy. Yesterday evening."
Heading down to his daughter's cell, Mac asked if she had spoken to Spinelli.
"No, why?" she asked. "Was he released."
"He sighed himself out, yesterday." Seeing the look on her face, he said "What?"
"Lucky thought he heard something yesterday evening then when we went to the living room, the door was ajar. I just thought we did it when we...." she didn't finish her statement before sitting down to cry. "Oh god, what have I done?"
Shaking his head as he left, Mac hurried over to Sam's and they broke into the apartment. Hearing the sounds of something in pain, they hurried towards the bedroom, worried about what they were going to see.
Entering, Mac covered his mouth, he could smell the urine and the blood long before he saw the dead woman lying on her bed with a bullet wound. But the part that scared him was the man with the floppy hair lying on the bed curled up in a fetal position, murmuring to himself as he held a gun.
Then seeing the ropes, Mac told Harper to get someone Dr. Winters there. Backing out, he called Alexis and said "Did you heard about Judge Henderson?"
"Yes. He also told me about Jerry and Sam. I am on my way to her apartment. Are you there already?"
"Alexis, I will meet you downstairs." he said but stopped when he heard her reply.
"Sam is dead. I already know." she said then added. "Jerry called and left a message right after the Judge called."
"Spinelli is here, he is out of it. We might have to subdue him." he warned.
Lainey entered the bedroom, only to be pulled back by Harper when Spinelli fired on the woman, claiming she was in on it with the evil maternal one who was keeping Stone Cold away from his true family.
Jason and Elizabeth gave in to Cam's request to spend the night at the mansion again, while Jack took a call from Mac Scorpio. Watching the family bond that was finally forming he said "Thanks for the message."
Finding the man he was looking for at the Quartermaine residence he said "Mr. Corelli, I thought you should know, Spinelli is at Sam McCall's place. She is dead and he is ready for a straight jacket."
Nodding, Francis acknowledged what was said. He had been watching the annoying slut and had only gone to the boys once he had seen Jerry Jacks leave the building. He had listened as the man had killed Sam, wishing it had been he who had gotten to pull the trigger. Now he was onto his last assignment protecting the children and Elizabeth from the last threat against them.
Spinelli let them take him to GH, that was all part of his plan. He knew the hospital inside and out and he would be able to get access to all of those who had helped keep his master from being with his soul mate. When he was in the padded room, he let them medicate him, knowing he would need sleep and that he would long remember his goddess dying right before his very eyes.
He looked up at the ceiling and almost smiled at the camera they had monitoring him. If he behaved for twenty four hours, it should give him enough tape for the program he had written using Sam's computer to kick in so that he could escape.
Mac thanked his people for their hard work and was driving an upset Alexis home when he got the call. "Are you sure Harper?"
"That is what the doctor said. Self-inflicted wounds. He had to have freed himself and then retie himself back up. It also explains to two guns. We found the one Jerry left behind after shooting her and hers was without any prints except the kids."
"Let me know what CSU finds." he then told him to take Sam's computer to the station and have it checked over by Anna's expert.
"Yes sir." he said before picking up the laptop. The forensic unit showed him the note in the baggie and asked about it.
Reading the note, Harper knew he was not going to get any sleep that night as he called someone. "I found something that needs to disappear from the station before it is read."
"What is it?" asked the voice on the other end.
"A not so love note from Morgan to Sam McCall. He basically threatens to have her killed."
The man on the other end, thought about what he had read in the note and said "Just leave it in the evidence. It can't be used against Quartermaine and no one knows about me."
Mac stayed with Alexis, he checked to see that Molly and Kristina had eaten dinner, worried how they were going to take the news of yet another loss. He knew that things were difficult between the sisters but he also was aware that Georgie had been Maxie's support system in spite of her mistakes. He was sure that deep down it was the same for the Davis girls.
Instead he saw they tried to be there to support their upset mother but it was very clear that for them, losing Sam was like losing a distant aunt. When they had gone up to bed, Mac sat down, and tried to find something to comfort Alexis.
He even tried asking about good memories in regards to Sam only for Alexis to burst into tears and say. "The only good memories, turned out to be when she was playing me and trying to seduce Ric."
Swallowing he said "I'm sorry, but what about memories about her father. Surely they are pleasant."
With a harsh laugh, she said "Not really, considering I was fourteen when he raped me."
"But I thou--" he said confused.
"I let Sam think it was romance, back when I wanted to help her. When I didn't realize that my daughter takes after her father. He was at a party, got me drunk with what I thought was fruit juice. I woke up in a bed the next morning with him inside of me." she said with a bitter laugh. "I screamed but he laughed and said go ahead scream, no one can here you. Then he slapped me then said "Since you are awake I can find another use for that mouth of yours."
"Oh, god, I am sorry, Alexis." he said regretting bringing up bad memories.
"It's not your fault." she sighed. "Who knows, maybe if I told Sam the truth, it might have woken her up. To this day, I have nightmares about what he did to me.. He was at my school, visiting with his daughter. I never said a word. Never told anyone."
"Is he still alive." he asked wondering if she would feel better
"No, he was killed a few years later. Tried to grab a neighbor girl out of her bedroom. The father caught him and shot the man." she said shivering. Asking Mac to stay, she offered him the guest room, explaining she was worried about Jerry showing up.
The next morning when Mac arrived at the station, Maxie was taken to her father's office where he explained about Spinelli. The Blond asked if she could visit him only for her father to point out she was in custody for a serious offense and that she couldn't treat the jail like it was a hotel. In truth, Lainey was afraid of how Spinelli might react to her and had suggested they be kept apart.
Laura was dealing with her family since they found out that the bank had already contacted the insurance company about the Haunted Star and its loan. Ethan had fled town when he found out there was no payout since the tournament had been robbed.
Lucky was trying to figure out what to do with himself. He had no job and no prospects of one. Alexis had given him his money, saying Nik had prepared that part in his will. He had called an attorney only to be told that he had no case and that pretty much no attorney's wanted to take on ELQ or Diane Miller on his behalf. He had thrown a fit and tried to go see Elizabeth only to find she wasn't at the fancy house her ex-fiancee had bought nor her old place.
Lulu had heard his grumbling and had considered telling him that she had seen the boys at the mansion but knew he would blow all of his money on a case he would lose and she wanted better for him. After a long talk with her mother, she had decided to go to school in Paris, like Robin had done all those years before.
Jason and Liz were spending the morning together since she had an afternoon shift at GH. The boys were playing in the spare bedroom while their parents were once again talking, but when Elizabeth received a package from Anna, she had asked Monica to stay with the boys for a little while.
Showing Jason what Anna had acquired, she said "Emily is alive."
Turning to the man standing there, he asked "Frisco, is that true?"
"Yes, I was tracking them, but suddenly both girls disappeared late November '08. Jerry Jack crossed my path about the same time. He was fleeing from Port Charles and in exchange for some information with the Russian's, he was allowed to live. I lost track of him for a while, since I was back looking for the girls, but then this Rebecca showed up here. I had found her records, but had thought she was dead."
"Is Rebecca Emily?" asked an upset Elizabeth.
"I don't know. I do know that the same drugs given to Morgan in Mexico, were tracked to the last spot I had located the girls at."
"Via Jerry?" she asked while Jason looked at the picture of Georgie as something wandered around the back of his head.
"Jason, what is it?"
"What does Georgie look like as a blond?" he asked then went to the drawer and pulled out a pen, then shaking his head ran upstairs to the boys playroom and grabbed their markers promising to return them. Returning he drew on the picture and asked "Does anyone know what this means?"
Seeing what he had drawn, Frisco hissed and said "Yes, where did you see that?"
"I think it is connected to Mexico and my memories that are missing." he said grimly. Then looking at Elizabeth, he said "Jerry, I think that someone saved me from Jerry, and it is connected to those two and this weird lettering. I also know one thing, it wasn't Sam and the church didn't fall on me."
"I will look into it, If you remember something. Please let me know." he said before leaving.
"Are you mad that I found out yesterday and didn't tell you?" she asked when he seemed so quiet.
"God, no." he said looking astonished. "I am glad you brought Frisco here. I just think that part of me doesn't want to retrieve those memories since they include this Sam woman."
Knowing she had to reassure him, Elizabeth hugged him and said "We will work through whatever is there, I promise."
"I can't lose you, Elizabeth." he said softly. "Not over whatever happened there."
"I love you, I might end up angry at you, but I doubt it. I made some real bonehead mistakes while we were apart too." she reminded him. Then seeing the time, went to kiss the boys goodbye before heading over to GH. Jason drove her, then went on to ELQ, his grandfather had the goods on Spencer, but it looked like the man was leaving town, so he would just hold them in reserve just in case.
Spinelli had the time of his life slipping out of GH. But first he made one stop only to find that Elizabeth Webber wasn't working that morning. Leaving the head nurse tied up, he giggled when he saw her angry glare over the top of the gag. "You, you should have known better. You had to know that Stone Cold adored his goddess but you helped the evil one. You saved the goddess for my master, you risked everything for their true love, yet you abandoned your duty as a nurse, you interfered in true love for that mistake."
Epiphany let him rant, hoping he left soon. She had made plans to met Trousiant here before heading to lunch. She wanted the kid away before she was rescued. When god seemed to answer her prayers, she stopped from thanking him as she realized he would go after Elizabeth Webber.
Hearing the door open, right on time, she shouted through the gag at the man. He quickly released her only to be told to let her free herself the rest of the way and for him to call Jason and Elizabeth then the police. "Warn them, warn them that Damien Spinelli is on the way and he has a gun."
"The kid who hung around Morgan, why are you worried. He is anno--"
"You haven't heard? He was placed in Mercy's lock-down ward. He is obsessed with Morgan and see's Elizabeth as a threat. GO! GO CALL THEM, NOW!" she shouted then seeing her face went to find a phone. After calling Mac Scorpio he tried to find the number for the Quartermaine residence when he saw Bobbie Spencer coming down the hallway.
"What is the number for the Quartermaine's?" he asked urgently. When she started to ask why, he said later, just listen when I talk to them. Reaching the house, he got no answer then said "Cell phone numbers, anyone there."
