A/N: This Alexis/Johnny stuff just keeps writing itself, I will be honest and say I have no idea where it is going. Same with the Johnny Z and Georgie incident in the kitchen, I originally had her pointing it at all of them when they arrived in Alan's room but it deleted itself. And now is the start of the Michael intervention, will it work?

Chapter 13: Confrontation

Sometimes it takes seeing with your own eyes....

As Harper led Michael into a jail cell, he watched the placid boy. Once back in the bull pen, he called Dr Winters and said "We might have to put the Corinthos boy on suicide watch."

"On my way. I am at GH and we just got the call about Morgan incoming." she said even as she was pulling on her coat.

Arriving at the station, she saw Jasper Jacks talking to Alexis Davis and Diane Miller. "Where is Carly? I need permission from her to treat Michael."

The threesome looked at one another then Diane crisply said "Mr. Jacks is the young man in question's stepfather. He can authorize it since his wife is at the hospital with Mr. Morgan."

Lainey blinked at that one then couldn't help thinking that sounded just like the blond. "Then I will need you to sign off on paperwork since Carly filed some to keep me away during his last visit to this place."

Cursing under his breath, Jax did then went back to speaking to the lawyers. "What now?"

"You go home and take care of the two kids you have there, I will get in to see Michael after Dr. Winters does her evaluation. Then come back, I think..." Alexis turned at the shouting.

They all heard the shouts from the cells then saw Lainey entering the bull pen. "Someone just tried to shoot Michael."

"Where is he?" asked Jax feeling guilty. He had walked away because he had believed that if Carly had anyone's best in mind it was Micheal's. He had been shocked tonight to realize she had considered even him expendable.

"He is going to be fine. Dr. Winters, Det. Harper needs medical attention." said the Commissioner. The guards brought Michael up and were told to take him to interrogation. Seeing the looks, he explained. "Safest place I can think of right now."

"Who was it?" asked Jax.

"Didn't see but the man was wearing a mask. Dirty blond hair though." he said. "You may go in to see Mr. Corinthos, but it might not do much good. He hasn't said a word, just stares into space."

Alexis entered expecting him to be copying his Uncle's jailhouse techniques but soon got what he was talking about. Michael just stared, there was nothing in him. "Michael? Can you talk to me?"

"There is nothing to talk about." he said. "I did it, I killed Uncle Jason."

"No, you shot him." she said gently. "He is at the hospital now. We need to talk about this, I called your attorney for the other case, he agreed to let me take over."

"Why?" he asked looking her in the eyes. "It's simple. I did it."

"What made you do it?" she asked.

"He..." Michael didn't feel or see the tears flowing down his face but Alexis did. "He doesn't love me anymore. No one does. I was only a commodity. For Mom, for dad."

"But why shoot Jason? Why not your mother? Why not Sonny?"

"Dad said that ... but he lied and is gone. Mom ..." Even outside the room they could hear Micheal's bitter laughter. "... never loved me. She would have left me behind if she could have still had Uncle Jason. I guess that is why I did it. The people who were supposed to love me only wanted me for Uncle Jason. It has been that way for years."

When Michael started laughing again, Alexis reached out and took his hand. "Michael, I have never seen you like that, and there are others who feel the same way. Your grandmother, Jax."

"But Jax knows I am a bad influence on Morgan and will be on Jocelyn. You would be smart to keep me away from the girls and Grandma Bobbie is all about making it up to mom." he said.

"That isn't true." she said. "They are all here, outside."

"I don't want to see them, I don't want to see you. I just want the pain to end. All of it." he said. "I tried so hard to be who Dad wanted me to be, to have him look at me like he does Uncle Jason, for what? Him to abandon me when he found out he had a real son."

Alexis moved around the table, making the guards restless but she still reached out and hugged the lost little boy. "Michael, I am a Cassadine, if anyone understands where you are coming from, it is me. If you need me, I will be back. Okay?"

"Don't bother. Hopefully this will end soon. Killing Uncle Jason assured that, his people won't let that one go unanswered. Maybe it will be that Cody Paul, I certainly pissed him off well enough." he said laughing again.

Alexis went back into the bullpen and told the others what he said "Diane, he isn't doing so well. I would like to get my hands on that blond bitch and Sonny. No one would be able to stop me from killing them." she fumed.

"Alexis, they are calling from GH, I have to go over." said Diane. "Mrs. Jones are you coming with me or staying?"

Bobbie looked around the station and said "Staying. He needs someone and that clearly isn't going to be the person who it should right now."

Meanwhile at GH, the helicopter landed with Jeff and Patrick who were moving the gurney down to the surgical floor. Matt met them there and took over while Jeff said "I am scrubbing in."

"Sir, you can't do that, you don't have a medical license to practice here."

"Kid, I was a doctor in this hospital before your dad ever even meet your mother." he snapped. "Now get out of my way."

Soon Jeff joined the kid in the operating room. Taking the lower bullet wound, he said "Just as I thought, we can close this, but are going to need medical permission from his family to remove the kidney."

Matt soon had the shoulder wound taken care of but could do little more than assist the older doctor as he tried to repair the damage done to the organs by the bullet that had bounced around inside Jason Morgan's body.

When the nursing staff had rolled him off to recovery, Jeff went out to the full waiting room. Seeing the slutty brunette from the party with a bandage on her head, he asked "What happened to you?"

Snickering, Robin couldn't help remembering what Sam had been saying when she woke up while Patrick had been sewing her gash up. "She only has a concussion. How is Jason?"

Looking around, he said "The bullet bounced around in side of him. We had to repair tears to the liver, it penetrated the lungs and went out his left shoulder. The most severe damage was to his kidneys. We are going to need permission to remove one of them."

"Oh My GOD!" said Carly getting louder with every word. "I KNEW IT, I KNEW THAT SOME HAS BEEN HACK SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO OPERATE ON JASON. If you killed him, I am going to sue you for everything you don't have. You path---"

She didn't get another word out because an annoyed Epiphany had come onto the scene and used medical tape to shut her up. "Now if you want this removed, you will shut your ignorant mouth up. Got it?"

Nodding but still fuming, Carly lowered her voice and said "Wait until I go to the board, they are going to fire your ass. Do you know who I am?"

"The woman who has no brains and slept her way into riches?" asked Maxie as she joined them.

Robin and a few others couldn't control the urge to smile in spite of how serious the matter was. Spinelli who loathed to admit it, knew he had to tell Carly who the man was. "Valkyrie, the savior of our great master is in fact a surgeon beyond the skills of most. He is a master of the intricate art of the human interior in spite of being the father of the baby stealing whore who managed to use her uterus to temporarily enchant Stone Cold."

Jeff turned to the geek and said. "So you are the bastard who altered the records. Take your praise for my medical skills and get the hell out of my family's hospital. Now!"

"You can't do that, Stone Cold is my friend."

"Well when Stone Cold awake, I will have him transferred to Mercy where the users in his life can visit him. Now if all of you will shut the hell up, I need to find out who has Mr. Morgan's attorney's number?"

"Why?" snapped Sam.

"Because I need to find out who to ask for permission to perform the surgery."

"I can do that." she said. "I am positive it's me."

Carly looked at her scornfully then said "No, it is more than likely Sonny or me."

Robin saw Jeff turning to Patrick and asked and was shocked at the answer.

"Last time, it was all emergency surgery, since we were saving his life we never had to access it."

"I can do it, over the computer." said an eager Spinelli only for Jeff to say.

"Don't even think about. I want a letter from his attorney or I will have the Quartermaine's sign off. I wouldn't trust anything coming from you Mr. Spinelli."

Lulu had been sitting quietly putting puzzle pieces together and had come up with the Webber's ruining her brother and stealing his hospital. "He is just trying to help his friend?"

"You mean like when he altered Jason Morgan's son's medical records giving him to your brother since he didn't want his friend there to have to share Jason's attention. Too bad he didn't think things through. Or when he went in and changed the records proving that Miss McCall isn't Alexis Davis' daughter."

Sam said "Oh course I am, my daughter saved hers and Nik saved me."

"I didn't say you weren't a Cassadine, but you aren't Miss Davis'. Stefan is your father, same as Mr. Cassadine."

Lulu laughed and said "Your information is out of date. Nik dad is Stavro's, not Stefan."

"I don't have time for this. Will someone please get Mr. Morgan's attorney's number?" snarled Jeff wishing he had his briefcase with him so he wouldn't have to deal with these people.

"That would be me." said Diane who glared at Carly. "and it would be a mote point."

"Why?" he asked.

"Because Jason's medical guardian is, was Elizabeth. Has been since 2006."

"That is a lie." said Spinelli. "I have seen the paperwork, it is fair Sam."

"When I took over as Mr. Morgan's legal council, he named Elizabeth Webber to that position."

"Impossible, we were still together." snapped Sam.

"Look, it has been almost ten hours since we opened up Mr. Morgan, he has about fourteen more, someone figure this out and let me know. Miss McCall, I wouldn't let you make decisions about a gold fish." was Jeff's parting remark while Lulu went off to make a quick call.

Waking up Nik, she told him what she had heard and he swore then said "I have to call Alexis."

Jason got off the phone with Epiphany then pulled Elizabeth off to the side. "I know I suggested we stay here, but we need to head home. Johnny was shot."

"What?" she asked. "By who?"

Looking around for his brother he quietly said "Michael, there is more Sonny is dead. Cody is following Jerry even as we speak. I just talked to Epiphany and we need to be there for Johnny, so that I can kill him when he wakes up."

In spite of her fear, Elizabeth gave a little laugh. "Alan will be okay, I just wanted him to look better before your Mom sees him. She is not going to like how pale he is."

"Elizabeth, I don't think she will care, he is alive. He could be green with bright pink polka dots and orange hair." said Mac.

Looking at Jason, Elizabeth "I get that. Can we make it before Monica and the boys?"

"We are going to try." he relied. "Georgie, have you checked on her?"

"I was planning on doing so in private." she said.

Jason and AJ arranged for the fastest jet there to take them home, then once they were in the air, Elizabeth took Georgie with her to the back of the very large jet and said "I need to know what happened. What did he do?"

"Nothing, I just knew he was going to ... rape... me." she whispered. "I could see it in his eyes but he didn't expect me to be able to fight back. So when he put down his gun, I fought with him."

"Let me check you over, just in case." said Elizabeth. It was more of a test than anything else. If she didn't allow her to do so, she was going to recommend that Mac get someone to help Georgie.

Instead, Georgie said "Can we keep this private?"

"Of course." she said then gasped at the bruising on her arms and body. "Good thing I brought you a long sleeve shirt and a loose one at that."

"I got these when we fought." she said. "They ache more than anything else."

Checking her over, Elizabeth offered her a pain pill but Georgie would only take the Tylenol. "I don't want to be groggy."

As they walked back down the hallway, Georgie said "It scared me more than anything else, you know what I mean. I had always been so careful so good, so that bad things wouldn't happen, but they did anyhow."

"I do know. Georgie, living a safe life, doesn't always mean you are safe in it." she said. "I have been learning that the hard way."

The younger girl hugged her dad when they rejoined them in the main cabin, then said "Dad, I wasn't raped. He was going to, but he didn't think I was strong enough to fight back."

"Jerry, Georgie do you know why Jerry did this?" asked Jason.

"A bit. Your dad was insurance against something with the briefcase that was so important at the Metrocourt. Emily was an accident, he was after someone else."

"Who?" asked AJ.

"I don't know, anymore than I know why he had you. I do know he wanted Maxie, not me. I was an accident but then he figured out something and became very excited."

"What do you mean?" asked Jason.

"Something about a house you burnt down." she said with a side-way glance.

"The Zachara place." said Mac. "Look, I am no longer the commissioner and have decided I am done with the job, so nothing can be used against you. I think we need to be open."

"I did, but why was he happy about that?" asked Jason pulling Elizabeth closer.

"Letters, he got some letters. I saw him reading something when I brought him the list of supplies we needed." she said. "He was writing when I first got there mumbling about needing leverage and he put whatever it was away. He was complaining about some of the things on the list then suddenly became well, nice."

"Nice?" asked Mac.

"Yup, it's the only word for it. Two days later the supplies came in and inside were some books, well lots of text books. All for me." she said. "He then said that he finally had found a use for me other than as a get out of jail free card."

"Why did he let Emily die?" asked AJ.

Shivering, Georgie said "He didn't. I know you don't remember, but he would only visit once every couple of months. Most of the time we didn't have a guard but in winter we did since the ice freezes over."

"And you could escape." said Elizabeth.

"Yes, the first one, last year. When AJ escaped and Emily died, Jerry killed him. We had been all alone and we knew that Emily needed help. We made a list, in case the drugs were real that he warned us about."

"You used the life jacket we found. Then when the tide was going in towards the main land, you put it on and slipped away across the ice." she said soberly. "I doubt you made it before Emily died. We were too late."

Looking down, she said "Jerry freaked, shot the guard and then destroyed one of the rooms. He wrapped Emily up, then carried her to the boat."

"What happened to the dead guy?" asked Johnny.

"I buried him. Out back in the flower garden." she said sadly. "He wasn't mean, he just needed the money, it was why he was working for Jerry. We kind of took advantage of him so that AJ could escape."

"You did what you had to do, whatever else, that man was holding you hostage, Georgie." said Elizabeth.

"I know, I just still feel guilty." she said.

Johnny looked at her then said "These letters, they were from my family's estate?"

"Yes, all I know is that he said Trevor Lansing had them. I have no connection to Ric or his dad, so I have no idea what was so interesting about them." she said with a shrug.

"Johnny, do you know anything that would help?" asked Jason.

"I haven't a clue. I have never heard Georgie's name mentioned, nor Maxie's. Or even her father's other than involving his job." he said.

"I wonder if is somehow is connected to Frisco." said Mac.

"But why would Jerry care?" asked Elizabeth.

"Jerry was working with the WSB, they paid for his face." said Jason. "Georgie, the night of the ball, do you remember seeing Anthony or Trevor?"

"No to the old man, he was in the room with all of us for a while, I told dad that in my statement. I remember meeting him there and I saw him at Kelly's before hand, looking in the window. As for Trevor, I ran into him once. It was slightly creepy but from what I heard that was normal."

"Creepy, how?" asked Jason.

"Well, this is going to sound strange... but like I was a horse for sale and he was looking me over before purchasing me." she said. "But it was over quickly, I thought it was my imagination at the time, but we had another run in at the police station one day and I just decided he was weirder than Ric if that was possible."

"What happened there?"

"He was standing there listening to me talking to Skye, I got the feeling he was waiting for her. Then he looked at me like that again, then said "Such a shame."

"What was a shame?"

"I don't know, but Skye and I were talking about my divorce from Dillon. I just thought it was about that."

Jason and Johnny's eyes met, neither had any idea what had been going on, so Jason made Georgie promise to stay with one of them at all times until Jerry was caught.

"Not a problem. He was waiting for Alan to die. I think he changed plans midstream." she said "He just said one less mouth to feed. He had removed AJ's clothes from the extra bedroom and told me he was bringing me a friend. Someone that like me would give him access to all. That I was necessary to keep him in line."

"He just had the place rewired, but there isn't a phone or computer there, not even a television." she said.

"Spinelli, he wants the geek." said Jason amused. "Let him grab him."

"Jason, but poor Spinelli wouldn't last a day..." said Georgie only for Johnny to pull her off to the side against Mac's better judgment and gave her an earful on what he had been up to in the last two years.

They could hear an occasional word, but no one could tell what she was thinking. "Maxie?" Really?"

"Yes, he has also been lying to Jason about Elizabeth calling, then ..." When he got to the part about Jason's biological mother and then told her that they suspected Sam was in touch with him, she said "We have go back to the others."

Sitting down next to her dad, she said "I can answer some of these questions. No, Sam isn't partner's with Jerry. He wants her dead, she betrayed him in Mexico, something about breaking a promise in exchange for his letting her escape."

That they had expected. "But I think he is after bigger fish, I know he wants Sonny dead, you too Jason." she said looking him in the eyes. "He is after someone else though."

"We have to figure that part out." said Mac. "Jerry running loose around town angry, is not a good thing."

!!*!!

Jerry was in town, he was angry but he wasn't a loose cannon. He had a plan. First Sonny, then Sam and finally the geek was going to be locked up and forced to fix the mess he had created.

Checking Wyndemere, he overheard the Prince complaining to his Aunt about Jeff Webber stealing the hospital away from him. He watched from the shadows and heard Alexis snap from the speaker phone. "Well if you hadn't all but raped Elizabeth, maybe you would still have the family fortune."

"I never raped, Elizabeth. I wanted a future with her." he said glaring at the phone.

"Nik, you knew she was suffering from PTSD, you were told what was going on, and instead of being a friend, you took advantage of her. To me that is rape. Now if you will excuse me, I have to help someone who truly needs it."

"You have to help me get GH back. After all, I am letting your daughter stay here." he blustered.

Alexis could be heard counting to ten then she snapped. "Sam isn't my daughter."

Tracy arrived at GH, only to see the crowd in the waiting room swelling, "Dr. Webber, you needed to speak to me."

"Go away, Tracy. You aren't wanted here." said Carly. Turning to Jeff she said "There is no way she should be making these decisions. Jason has never considered her family."

Nudging the dark haired woman down the hallway, Jeff turned to the two women following them and said "Stay, now sit."

When both women did so, Tracy said "Wow, it only took hours for you to train them. What do you need?"

Explaining that she was Jason's closest relative around, he asked permission to preform the surgery. With an uneasy expression, she said "What about Monica?"

"She along with Audrey are on their way, until then it is up to you. They are having a problem with cell phones cutting out in the mountains." he said "Your father is on a plane and that only leaves you."

"Where do I sign." she requested. "Wait, who is preforming the surgery?"

"Me." he said. "It's tricky because I think that there are more tears in the liver that I am going to have to repair while in there."

Looking down at the paperwork, Tracy thought about the rumors in regards to Jake and then the past with the Webber family. "Take care of him, there aren't a lot of us left."

"I will, Tracy." Jeff said. "Let me know the moment that Monica arrives."

Tracy went to security intending to have the rest of the riff raff thrown out, but Epiphany asked for a minute of her time. Getting the woman off to the side, the nurse said "Call this number, now!"

Suspicious, Tracy did what she asked. "Morgan."

"Jason?" she asked stunned. "Wait, what is going on? What are you up to? Was this all a trick?"

"No, I am sorry, but I need you to quietly follow Epiphany she is going to lead you up to the roof. We are landing on it as we speak."

Not sure what to do, Tracy followed the woman only to see Jason with Mac Scorpio and Johnny Zachara. "What the hell is going on?"

"This." he said showing her the man on the stretcher.

"ALAN?" she asked shrieking. "What did you do to your father?"

"He didn't do anything." At the sound of AJ"S voice, Tracy passed out, only to wake up to Georgie's face.

"Doesn't anyone stay dead in this town." she moaned.

"Nice to see you too, Ms. Quartermaine." said the brunette. "Now can you get up, we need to move inside."

"Wait, what just happened. Why did my brother look like hell and since when are Jason and AJ buddy buddy and I thought I saw Elizabeth Webber here. And if Jason is here, who did Michael shoot?"

"The answer to your questions, lie downstairs, now we need you to be discreet for now. They just wanted you to see Alan was alive." she said.

"Dr. Quarteramaine to you." she snapped.

"Tracy, I just spent two years locked up with him, I think I can call the man anything I like." she snapped. "Now if you will excuse me, we have someplace to be."

Walking down to the waiting room, Tracy listened to the bickering going on around her and finally got that Jason wasn't lying in that operating room, so that when Monica got off the elevator with Steven Webber, all she could do is sit there staring.

Nik got off the second one along with Lulu and Lucky at the same time and the melee started.

"Where is my son?" snapped Lucky to Steven while Nik accused him of stealing the hospital. Carly and Sam both went to talk to Monica, wanting her to takeover saving Jason.

"There is no way that Elizabeth's father should be trusted. He will kill Jason."

"What possible reason could Jeff have for wanting to kill Jason?" she asked pretending ignorance.

"Because... he believes that Jason broke Elizabeth's heart, we all know that isn't true that she ..." Sam was stymied.

"That she what Sam?" asked Audrey as she joined them. "Just what did my granddaughter do to Mr. Morgan. Did she sleep with one of Jake's kidnappers, no that would be the man having surgery. Did she chose another woman's son over hers? No that would be the same man. So just tell me what it is my granddaughter did to Jason?"

"She..." Carly was desperate but knew that she had nothing.

"She what, called two little boys bastards, no that was you. Strange, last I knew Carly, your mother wasn't married to your father, nor were you married to AJ when Michael was born. You two are hypocrites, but relax, Jason isn't in any danger."

"You would say that." said Sam.

Lucky took the moment of silence to turn to Audrey and say "Where is my son?"

With a look at Sam, Audrey gave a quick grin then said "Oh, Sam is pregnant with a boy, congratulations. Maybe now you will stop obsessing about a child that isn't yours."

Carly turned to Sam then her cousin. She saw the woman didn't even flinch while Lucky looked constipated then he said. "Wait, Sam I thought you told me that the kid was Jason's?"

"Oh, I am certain she did, but Jason was fixed. He can't be the father of her kid. So you slept with her while she was screaming to the heavens about being with Jason, funny Sam. Really really funny. So, Lucky step up. We are all waiting." said Carly with a huge grin on her face. "Tell her how she is a whore and is trying to steal your child. Well?"

Stunned, Spinelli thought about it then said "You are wrong, the goddess is the mother of the long awaited Morgan heir."

With a soft chuckle, the woman behind them said "Goddess? The only goddess she reminds me of is Hera, I believe she ate her own children."

The entire crowd turned and stared as Elizabeth stood there wearing scrubs with blood on them. "Elizabeth, what is going on?"

"Monica, you need to go to recovery room two. Follow me." she said leading the woman away.

"Oh no you don't bitch." said Sam grabbing for her arm.

Flicking Sam off like she was a fly, Elizabeth said "Oh, don't worry, I will be back. I have a few words I want to say to you." then looking at the assemblage she said "All of you."

Sam was swearing under her breath, Jason had been distant and she now knew the real reason, the whore who stole her life was alive. Lucky didn't have the common sense that god gave a gnat and shouted "Where is my son? Did you really think I would let you steal him?"

Ignoring him, she led Monica to the room, then waited until she had changed into scrubs. "Monica, this is going to be hard, but here." Opening the door, Monica saw AJ and Jason already in there, then looked at the man wearing the breathing apparatus.

"Alan?" she asked. Then moving closer, she almost fainted but for AJ catching her. "How? Oh my god." with tears flowing down her face, she reached out for his hand. Grabbing out for Jason and AJ's hands, she stopped them from going out in the hall.

Elizabeth decided to give them a few minutes and went back out in the hall. "What is going?" asked Nik, "Who is in there?"

"Nothing that concerns you, Nik. Now why don't you all head home. Jason is going to be in surgery for a while."

"I am not going anyplace." Said Carly. Sam nodded and glared at Elizabeth.

"Do you really think we will let you slither on in, like hell." she snapped.

Rolling her eyes, Elizabeth walked past them and towards her grandmother. "Grams, how are you doing? Was the trip too hard?"

"No, Monica and the boys had a blast. They have presents for you. Where is everyone?"

"Uncle Tom went to the station to get the guests that were invited." She said. "Where did Steven go?"

"To help Mac." she replied. Hearing heavy breathing behind her, Elizabeth turned to see Lucky standing rather close to her. "Back off, Lucky."

"Not until you tell me where my son is." he said moving in even closer. Elizabeth saw Johnny Zachara in the shadows, and let him know to give her a minute.

"Lucky deserves to know where his son is, after all the lies you have been telling people, how could you Elizabeth?" asked Sam. "But then that is how you are, isn't it. You act all high and mighty and you are a bigger liar then the rest of us combined."

"Spinelli?" Elizabeth turned to him and said "One thing you never knew, I would never run a DNA test here without backup's elsewhere. Care to tell Sam the truth or should I let the police handle it?"

"Jason won't let you." he said smugly.

"And thank you for the proof. See Sam, Jake is Jason's son. Your pal there, faked the tests on record. And we all know the truth, except for you and even deep down you know the truth."

"Doesn't change the fact that Jason is with me, that he loves me." she taunted. "You were a mistake, nothing more."

"For once I agree with Sam, you were a mistake and that brat of yours an even bigger one." said Carly who saw the boys getting off the elevator with a older blond man and a young black man. "Jason sees him as an obligation and you as an annoyance."

"DADDY!" the boys shouted as they got off the elevator, Lucky smugly grinned at Elizabeth when he saw them running down the hall. He knelt down expecting them to run to him, instead they rushed right past him.

Turning, he saw them in the arms of a man with bright blond hair that was past his ears. "What the hell?"

Sam and Carly stared, then Carly turned to Elizabeth. "Well, well, well. You threw Lucky over for a doctor. You can't be loyal to anyone, can you?"

"Carly, I have loved the same man for over ten years, I would say that is loyal, unlike you who chases after the largest checkbook."

"You bitch." said the blond then sneered. "Well, guess what, I am going to help Jason get his son back, enjoy your time with him, as soon as he is out of here, Jason is going to be the one taking his son home."

"Truer words were never spoken, Carly." Carly looked around and froze. "Jason? I don't understand, what is with the wig and I saw you get shot, what is going on?"

Walking past her open arms, Jason handed Jake to Steven who had come down the hall to join them and Cameron to Johnny Zachara. "Can you take them out of here? Cam, we will open your present when we get home, okay?"

Jason didn't even look at the various people in the room, keeping his eyes on the little boys who left with the four men. When they nodded yes, he said "Mommy and I will be home in a little while."

After reaching over to kiss Elizabeth, both boys soon left. When the elevator doors had closed, Jason turned to the waiting room and said "Now what were you just saying Carly. Something about taking my son home?"

"Jase, you know that she doesn't deserve to raise your son." she said. "We all know she was engaged to Lucky and sleeping with Nik."

Lucky looked at them then turned to Elizabeth and said "You whore, how could you? I loved you, I was going to raise your kids, be a father to them?"

Jason said "She is a whore, what about you, you cheated on her three times. You have quite a double standard there, Spencer, but then all of you Spencers do. Why don't you call your brother names? He was the one taking advantage of her. She was sick, she had been suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. If you loved her so much, why didn't you notice, let me tell you why, because it is all about you. Always has been always will be."

"More proof that Elizabeth isn't the woman for you. Oh, please all she did is shoot one person." snorted Sam.

Jason ignored her, then said to Lucky. "Now, get this straight. Jake is my son, you know it, I know it. So stop this crap, get the hell out of here or I will let the police know what really happened the night that Manny Ruiz died."

"Like I care, I am no longer a cop." he said. "We all know that in the end, you will hurt Elizabeth and she will come running back to me."

"Lucky, you just don't get it do you. It's over. We are over. I am not going to let you control my life any longer. I owe you nothing." said Elizabeth. "I tried to tell you this before I went to the warehouse, you just refused to accept it."

"You owe me everything without me, you would still be that lost little girl crawling out of the snow like you were the night you were raped."

"You mean the night you stood me up to go out with my sister? I owe you nothing, nothing, N-O-T-H-I-N-G. Got it?"

"You bitch." he said. "We will see about that."

Jason made a mental note to find Spencer later, someplace without cameras. He had no intention of letting him call Elizabeth a whore get by him. Turning to Nik, he said "So how is business Nik?"

Swelling up in anger, Nik said "Well, next time you two are screwing, remember this. I had her, I was the man lying between her sweet thighs while you were stuck screwing Sammy."

"Nik." said Elizabeth. Then when he turned to her, she stepped closer and said "One other thing." And kneed his as hard as she could. "The only difference between you and Tom Baker is that you wear better clothes. You bastard. You knew I was sick, and still..."

"I have had better." he said.

"Really, must have been Katherine Belle, because according to Em, you weren't that great." she replied. "And I can verify that from personal experience."

Nik said "You two are going to pay for stealing my business."

"Cassadine, I didn't do anything. That would be my partner. He was the one who stripped it all away. By the way, I am not finished with you. You are going to pay for Elizabeth, for Emily and for not telling anyone about Claudia."

Seeing his face, Elizabeth said "Yes, we know. Carly, Nik here knew that Claudia was behind Micheal's shooting."

"Stone Cold, what is with the stealth dressing?" asked Spinelli who was ignored. "Master? Are you angry with your grasshopper?"

Jason looked through the kid, just as the elevator opened and Robin exited along with Maxie and Patrick. Seeing the two in scrubs, Maxie asked "How is Jason doing?"

Robin stood in shock, then shouted "Elizabeth? Oh my god, what happened? Thank god. I am so sorry, I was a fool."

Hugging the woman, Elizabeth said "You can tell me later what that means, but right now, we are in the middle of something. Did Mac call you?"

"Mac?" she shook her head no. "No, he didn't. Why? Did he bring you back? Did my uncle know where you were all this time?"

"No, long story and we will get to it, in time." she said hugging Patrick then moving past Maxie,

Finding a hand on her arm, she looked up to see Maxie looking confused. "Now I am not saying we are ever going to be friends, but I am sorry for my part in what happened to you. I guess you can say I got lucky and woke up to the truth."

Nodding, Elizabeth said "Apology accepted. You might want to stick around, Mac has a big surprise for you."

Nodding, Maxie sat down, she had no part of this fight.

Sam and Carly were talking over each other, trying to get Jason to tell Elizabeth to go away. When they had shown themselves up, he smirked when they turned to Elizabeth and said "There is no room for you in Jason's life. We made a deal, if we don't fight we get to share him."

Looking at them in disgust, she saw her father coming down the hall and asked "How is he?"

"Elizabeth?" he asked his head whirling in disbelief.

"You can ask later, how is he?"

"Mr. Morgan is going to be a very sick man for a little while, but he should make a complete recovery." he said then asked "How?"

"Long story. Did you have to completely remove the kidney?"

"Yes.' Then looking at the blond standing next to his daughter, he said "Who the hell are you?"

Jason reached out and shook his hand then said "Jason Morgan, the real one. How is my double?"

"Double?" screeched the two banshees.

"Why do you have a double, did you suspect what Michael was going to do?" asked Carly. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Sam smirked, because she was certain that they had switched places before the warehouse explosion, it explained why he had said he wasn't the father and she knew that Jason would never refuse to allow her to have his child.

Ignoring them, Jason said "When this is over, we need to talk."

"I am going to check on my patient then sleep for a couple of hours. Elizabeth, I hope that I may meet my grandsons at some point this week." he said then left quietly. Tom had a lot to answer for.

There was an awkward silence then Sam slide up to Jason and pressed up against him saying "I knew something was up, from the moment he woke up, He was so mean to me. He tried saying he wasn't the father of my baby, but then he wasn't was he?"

Jason removed her arms from around him and said "I truly don't care either way, but for his sake, I hope not."

"I am sorry, I didn't know he wasn't you. He faked it so well. Jason, I swear we only slept together once or twice. Please, you have got to believe me." she said her eyes watering up.

"You liar, you were bragging just yesterday that the two of you went at it like rabbits." said Carly wanting to prove herself the better woman. "Jason, I swear, I only gave him a blow job."

Rolling his eyes, Jason stood there and let them out each other then said "Carly, do you even want to know who you were sleeping with?"

Flushing she said "No, I know you will punish him for taking advantage of me that way."

"You are right, he is in trouble, but only because when he left Mexico he forgot about the note for Elizabeth I had hidden here. I could care less if he slept with you in the middle of the Metrocourt lobby with all of your hotel guests watching."

Maxie laughed, she had to. The expression of horror on Carly's face and the look of concentration on Sam's was amusing. "Uh, Jason. I think I get it, but for those who rode to school on the small yellow bus, when did you switch places with whoever that is?"

Robin felt her mouth fall open and she could fell the words tumbling out "Johnny O'Brien. That is Johnny O'Brien."

Carly screamed then looked at Jason in anger "I had unprotected sex with a guard, with that bastard who thought he was so much better than Courtney and I? You let him into my life, after all he did to me?"

Jason stood there then said "I thought it was only oral sex, Carly? As for Johnny he was better than the two of you. And the only thing he did to you is prove that you and your playmate were liars."

Carly started to protest but Sam played dumb and asked "Who is Johnny O'Brien?"

Jason looked at her and said with a thin smile. "The man who has been playing me since that second day in Mexico."

Sam eyes were blinking rapidly as she recalled Mexico and said "No, that isn't true. I know you, I know that it was you that I had sex with."

"No, Sammy it wasn't." said Maxie gleefully. "Jason, is this Johnny Married?"

"What?" asked Spinelli.

"Well, see I decided to swear off cheating and I wouldn't want to kiss someone already seeing anyone."

"You are lying, you are just trying to get that gullible whore to believe you wouldn't sleep with me after what I did." snapped Sam. "Too bad, not even she is that much of a fool."

Elizabeth saw AJ coming down the hallway and took out the cotton and stuffed it in her ears. Robin saw that and then looked towards where she was staring.

"AJ?" she asked as Carly whirled around and turned white as a ghost.

"Yes, Robin. It is me. I was part of the team that rescued Jason in Mexico. Sam, I know that Jerry told you he shot Jason, six times. When you rescued him, he had only two bullet wounds and was out of his mind from the fever. Do you really think my brother is superman? That his wounds healed that quickly? I mean he is the golden boy, but not even Jason is capable of sexing you up with six bullets in him."

"You, I know you are a liar! This Jason is fake, he has to be. The real Jason is lying in that hospital bed." She said.

"No, Sam. Want proof. When I saw you with Ric, you claimed it was forced, yet you were on top kissing your way down to his waist." said Jason.

"You can't be Jason, he would never be this cruel." she said.

"Sam, remember my promise, I don't make empty ones." he said. "Now, I would leave here quietly and take Spinelli with you. Spinelli, there will be a time of a reckoning, and you had better have damn good answers as to why you would attack the woman I love and my family the way you did, otherwise..."

Spinelli believed he was going to be okay, unaware that Jason just wanted him free so that they could use him for bait. Once Jerry had him, he had no intention of letting the little creep escape.

"Oh, Carly." called out Jason when she started to head to the elevator. "Where do you think you are going?"

"I need to check on Michael." she said only to hear her words at the Metrocourt to be heard rather loudly from the television behind her. "You should come with me, Michael needs you."

"Michael needs his father." said Jason evenly.

"I couldn't agree more, and you were always the best father he had." she said hoping to remind him of the past. "Remember, you promised to always be there for him?"

"Oh, I will be, by doing what is best for him. AJ, are you going to the station before or after talking to Alexis?"

Carly screeched again, this time drawing Epiphany from a room and the large woman moved quickly over. "Mrs. Jacks, one more time and you will find yourself in a lock down ward under a thirty six hour watch, do you understand me?"

"Carly, we need to talk." said AJ grabbing her arm and leading her away.
