Chapter Four

The cool night air ruffled her hair as they exited the small cafe that they had found on their walk. Dinner had been mostly silent, but surprisingly comfortable. While she was missing her family and the routine that she had back in Port Charles, Georgie had to admit that she felt safer with Logan than she would have ever imagined a couple days ago.

"It's getting late. Do you need anything else while we are out?" Logan asked while scanning the people on the sidewalk.

"Hmm, we need some drinks and some snacks maybe."

Pulling her back as a group of young teenagers scrambled by, he placed a hand on the small of her back. "Sounds good. I think that we will probably move tomorrow, so just enough for tonight and the morning."

"We just got here, Logan."

"I know. And I am sorry, but I think that we need to stay on the move for a couple days incase someone is trying to track us, Georgie. It will make us harder to find. Until O'Brien gets here, we cannot let out guard slip in the least."

Chewing on her bottom lip, she pointed to a small store and they made their way across the street to head there. "I know that you're right. I am just not that into the adventure and drama. I just want this all to end as soon as possible."

Glancing over and seeing that she was looking toward the canal that they were approaching, he steered her onto a small path that led down to the water. Seeing her eyes sparkle and the happiness creep across her face, he gave a crooked smile. Yes, they needed to be careful and on alert, but Logan was determined to give her some good memories of being in the country that he had known she dreamed of visiting. "It will be, doll. Morgan and everyone is looking. And you know that your bio father is coordinating with Mac to cover the legal angles. You will be back at Kelly's sooner than you think."

"Georgianna!"

Stunned to hear the female voice shout out her name, Georgie looked over at Logan with her wide eyes. Seeing him step in front of her and place his hand on the gun that was tucked into the back waist band of his pants, she looked over his shoulder and muttered a curse. While knowing that she was a danger herself, the woman's past connections could blow their low profile in seconds. Placing a soothing hand on Logan's, she pulled it to her side and linked their fingers so that they were holding hands.

"Brenda! I had no idea that you were in Italy."

Hearing the familiarity in the tone, Logan let his muscles relax but remained leery. Never being a man that believed in coincidences, he watched and studied the beautiful brunette who came to a stop in front of them. Logan could tell that Georgie knew the woman well, but was still just as uncomfortable with the chance meeting as he was.

Brenda Barrett hung back a step and smiled at Robin's cousin. "I am here on assignment for a shoot. I've missed all you guys. I have been meaning to get back to the State's to see Robin." Tilting her head, the supermodel let her eyes travel over the young man that was standing protectively near Georgie. "Hi. I am Brenda."

"Logan," he told her while wrapping an arm around Georgie's waist. It did not matter to him that Georgie evidently knew the other woman. Maintaining the cover story that they were using had to be done, especially for someone who could potentially blow their cover and endanger Georgie's life.

Making herself relax against his side, she looked up and into his light blue eyes. "Brenda is good friends with my cousin Robin. They have been tight for years." Looking back at Brenda, Georgie gave her a sincere smile. "Robin is doing great. I am sure that she would be thrilled to see you."

"I'm going to go back as soon as I can. I miss everybody. Are you and your boyfriend just on a trip? I never figured that Mac would go for that since you are the baby."

Smirking, Logan laughed. "He definitely wasn't what I would call enthused over the trip."

Scowling at that comment and the truth of it, Georgie tensed when she heard Brenda's answering statement.

"I am just happy to see you that you have put the whole mess of what happened with Dillon and then the incident with Diego and Sage behind you. I know that Robin was really concerned about how hard you took Sage's and then Diego's death."

Feeling her jerk, Logan looked down at the top of her head. It was clear that this was a conversation that Georgie had no desire to have with Brenda.

"I am fine and that is the past," she managed to choke out after swallowing hard. "Well, I hate to be rude, but Logan and I need to get going. We have had a long day."

Brenda laughed and winked. "Oh, I understand that. Maybe I will see you two again before you head back."

"Maybe," Georgie conceded quietly. "It was great to see you, Brenda. Call Robin sometime. I know that she would love it. Bye!"

Once away from the model, Logan looked down at Georgie and sighed. He could tell that she was just as uneasy about the encounter as he was, but wanted to know what her reasons were. While he may not have been close to her personally, he could read her body language well. "Let's get what we need, darlin, and get back to the room."

Fifteen minutes later, Georgie broke away from his side as she flopped on the bed after they walked back into the room. Kicking off her boots, she grimaced when he sat in the chair across from her. "We are going to have to leave, aren't we?"

"Why do you think that? Do you not trust Brenda completely?"

Pondering that, she rubbed her temples. "It really isn't that simple, Logan. Do you know anything about Brenda Barrett?"

"Just that she is Coop's aunt that he hardly mentioned. He was not close to her and barely talks to his mother now."

"Coop's aunt? Wow." Pulling her legs up so that she was sitting indian style, she shook her head to get back on track. "You need to call Jason. He knows more than I do. But at one time, Brenda was thought to be dead after a car wreck. It turns out that Luis Alcazar had found her in the water. She was with him on his yacht for a good while before she returned back to Port Charles. Brenda had some intense connections to that family, especially Luis." Seeing him narrow his eyes, she sighed. "I just have a hard time accepting that this was all chance. Maybe I am wrong, I hope I am anyway, but Jason knows more about that situation that I do. And he was married to her for a bit, so he knows Brenda's mind somewhat."

Logan snorted. "After seeing him with Elizabeth, it is hard to imagine him with anyone else. But you are right. Something feels off. I will call Morgan and see what he wants, but we are leaving this hotel in the morning at the latest." Deciding that now was not the time to broach the topic of his own questions about her and the Alcazar family, he nodded to the door. "I am going to go call him now. I'll be right outside, okay."

After giving a small nod, she waited until the door clicked before laying back and closing her eyes. No matter how much she wanted this over, Georgie was afraid that it was about to get ten times worse. While she hoped that Brenda would never do anything such as turn on her, especially since she had always been so close to Robin, Georgie was smart enough to know that it was a very slim possibility that they would have ran into one another in a forgien country. Wishing that she could just wish everything back to normal and return to her boring existance from just days ago, she rolled onto her side and stared at the wall. Strengthening herself mentally, she rose and started to repack the few things that she had taken out the shopping bags from earlier. If she knew anything about Jason or even Logan for that matter, she knew that they would moving tonight. There was too much risk if they chose to wait until morning.

OoOoOoOoOoOo

Tossing the phone on the desk, Jason pinched his nose. He had agreed with Logan's assessment. Something was off about them running into Brenda their first night in Italy. Not willing to take any chances with Georgie's life, he had agreed that leaving the hotel was the best option. He had also told Logan to destroy the cell that they were currently using and to pick up another tomorrow and to check in the next day. He wanted no way for anyone to trace the movements of the younger couple.

Elizabeth stopped in the doorway of his home office and leaned against the frame. "Are they safe?"

"I hope so, but I am worried. Johnny is still a couple days from reaching them. Then factor in that Brenda, of all people, showed up tonight, it is a good possibility that Luis could find them." Moving forward to wrap his arms around her, Jason rested his head on hers. "There is a chance that this could get really bad, Elizabeth."

"I know, but Georgie is stronger than everyone gives her credit for. She's had to be, Jason."

"It's not that. It's the power and uncertainty of Alcazar that worries me." Pausing as his phone rang, Jason looked at the caller ID and then answered. Listening to the report, he clenched his teeth and his hands.

"Damn, Johnny! I need you to get that taken care of. Immediately! I will tell Hayes when he checks in. They will be out of reach for a day. They ran into someone who knew Georgie. You need to be on the lookout for Brenda. She just happened upon them this evening." Grimacing at the reply, Jason's eyes turned cold. "Handle it and do it right. No mistakes and no mercy. If you find out that she is feeding them info, you treat her like any other threat, O'Brien."

Waiting until he tossed the phone back down, Elizabeth rubbed his shoulders. "Bad?"

"More than you or I could have imagined," he whispered to her. "It's very bad. Logan and especially Georgie are in a dangerous game right now, Elizabeth. And all the rules have just been thrown out the door. And I just told Hayes to destroy the only way I have to communicate with him and to call me in a day to check in."

Nipping at her lip, she winced. "Please say that they are moving from where they are though. It gives them a better chance until you can update him."

"They are," he affirmed. "Logan is smart. He already knew that they would need to go."

"And is the new information that bad? I mean, how much worse could it get?" she asked softly.

Bringing her back to him, Jason kissed Elizabeth's mouth briefly. "It is a lot more personal now, Elizabeth. Trust me, Georgie has bigger problems than Luis. After what Johnny just saw, I even wonder if Luis is actually alive. I need to find Lorenzo. I think he lied to cover someone else's tracks and put us all on the wrong trail. While he may not want her dead or hurt, I think that he left her vulnerable."

Elizabeth closed her eyes. "Who did Johnny see?" Hearing the name, her eyes snapped open and she gasped. "Jason, this has to have been in the works from the beginning!"

"I think so too. And that means that he is not only dangerous, but is obsessed."
