Author's Note:If you read any of my other fics, you know what's been going on...block, technical issues, etc. Anyway, I hope that you all are still interested. I will try and update soon.But so much has happened on the show so, as much as I really like the whole Jase/Liz connection on the show after I last updated, they weren't together.But, the Lucky/Maxie thing still exists, but Liz doesn't know yet.

With that...Enjoy!

---------------------------

Jason arrived at Elizabeth's a short while later to survey what Elizabeth said had been done. When he arrived, he found a slightly disheveled Elizabeth clutching Cameron to her.

"Are you okay?"He asked, worried.

"We're fine.I'm sorry for calling you...I didn't know what else to do."

"No, it's fine."Jason said, looking around. "What's the problem?Did somebody break in?"

Elizabeth shrugged, shifting Cameron to her hip. "I don't know.I didn't want to assume. I mean, it could have been Lucky.I don't know."She replied, growing upset.

"Hey, that's fine.Just be calm, okay?What exactly happened?Is there something missing?"

Mocing her hair out of her face, Elizabeth felt stressed. Taking a deep breath, she began to tell Jason the story. "We just got home.When we got here-the door was unlocked.Now, I know-"Elizabeth said, seeing the look on Jason's face. "But with everything that's been happening I thought that maybe Lucky left the door unlocked when he left. But when I came in...there were papers everywhere.It's like someone was looking for something.I don't know if anything was stolen I just-"

"Have you called Lucky?"Jason asked, growing increasingly concerned.

She was quiet for a moment, contemplating her answer. Truth be told, Elizabeth had been so frightened she didn't even think to call and ask Lucky what had happened. Instead, her fingers had dialed Jason's number. "I...I didn't call him. I called you. Which, I know I probably shouldn't have...I'm sure you have more important things to do..."

"No, it's fine.Do you feel safe here?"

"What?"

Jason stared at her, hoping for an answer. He could tell by the look on her face that she didn't, but still wanted some sort of sign. "Do you feel safe?I mean, If you need a place to stay..."

"Oh.No...I'm...I'm fine, Jason."Elizabeth said, fussing with Cameron. "Are you okay, buddy?You're tired, huh?It's gonna be okay soon.Mommy promises.We're gonna head over to Gram's for tonight, though.Is that okay?"

Cameron offered a muffled "mmm-hmm" before tilting his head onto her shoulder.

Jason stood in silence watching them interact. He hated knowing that they felt pain, that there wasn't much that he could do-although the thought of beating Lucky Spencer to a bloody pulp if things went any further had crossed his mind.

"I'm sorry, Jason.I shouldn't have drug you over here...I just thought that maybe I could use some help...someone to help look with me."Elizabeth said, tired.

"I'd be glad to help.Are you sure you're okay,though?If you need help-"

"I know where to go."Elizabeth said, smiling. Cameron had fallen asleep on her shoulder. Leaning towards the couch, Elizabeth placed him on it so as not to wake him. "Do you...think that you could help me I mean."

Jason, his hands in the pockets of his jacket shrugged. "You need help..."He said, staring at her.

"Well, if I'm wasting you time-"

"Elizabeth?...You're my friend.And...I care about you and you being safe.If that means I have to help you look...I will.Just tell me what to look for."

Lucky knew he shouldn't have been there. And he felt horrible. Well, in the time that he was actually thinking he felt horrible. But watching Maxie smile back at him, it all seemed right. "I should go."He said, staring back at her.

"Okay."She said simply, knowing she wasn't hiding any of her disappointment. "But if you want to stay.To...talk...you can."

He didn't seem amused, but he nodded. Checking for the bottle that was in his pocket, Lucky thanked her again.

"It's no problem.Really Lucky, you're a great friend to me."Maxie said, walking to him. "And if you need help, I try my best.Just-try not to burn through them so fast this time. I don't want to get caught."

Lucky nodded. "Yeah.I just...I need them.For the job and all.We got a big bust coming up soon and I wanna be a part of it. But with me back I..."

Maxie nodding, smiling coyly. "Right."She said. "Just let me know when you need more."

Lucky walked away, up the stairs to Kelly's.

Maxie stood watching him leave, the smile still visible on her face. Feeling a hand on her shoulder, she jumped. "What are you doing?You can't just come up behind someone like-"She said, realizing who it was, her expression changed. "Why are you..."

"Where is he?The guy that you've been getting it for?You said he'd be here."

"He was just here.Hey, get your hands off me.Look, I don't see why you have to talk to him.I'm buying it.So if you have any problems, can't you ask me?"Maxie asked, feeling desperate.

"This guy is draining my sources.Look,I just wanted to hook him up with another guy 'til I get more.It's that simple."The guy said, not backing away from her.

Maxie nodded,moving the hair out of her face. "Okay.I'll talk to him."

------------------

Elizabeth stood at the door, thanking Jason for coming. "Thank You, Jason.We'll be okay."

Jason nodded in understanding. "I'm sorry we didn't find anything.Just-if you need anything, don't think about it.Just call.If Lucky comes anywhere near-"

"Jason?Please.I can handle Lucky.He's my husband."She said, uncomfortable. "For now.And, If talking to him is what I have to do, then I guess I have to.It was probably him who moved everything around, anyway.Nothing is missing so he was probably looking for a paper for work or something."

Though he wouldn't admit it to her, Jason doubted it. "Alright.Is he okay?"He asked, referring to Cameron.

"He will be.Everything is new to him, but I think staying at Gram's will be good for him.For me, too.I'm just going to pack our things.I'll see you later."

Jason nodded, wanting to stay but knowing that he should go-Elizabeth needed time to deal with everything."Okay."

He shut the door, leaving Elizabeth alone to deal with everything-something he just prayed she was ready for.

------------

So, what do you think?I know that nothing much happened in this chapter, and Jason seemed to me a little different than he would be on the show. Anyway, I'll try an update soon (and the next one will be longer, sooner, too).Thanks for reading!
