Author's Chapter Notes:
It's been a while but here the next chapter is. I have been overwhelmed with life. I have two more Jasia stories in the works. I'm also working on a Tara/Eric (TRUE BLOOD), Eric/Gia, Dean/OFC, and the rest of my stories. I have creative ADD. I can't work on just one creative venture at a time. Oh well.
The Enforcer at work. Gia gets mad.
Jason sat in the nearly empty room on the outskirts of Port Charles. Thunder rumbled in the distance seconds later lightening streaked across the fluffy clouds. He looked at his watch. Gia did not like storms. He had an hour before the rain started and she really became afraid. He wanted to be done with this and get back home. His men watched as Taggart broke the Bryson's thumbs. The former cop was taking the mob clichés too literally, he thought as he watched his brother-in-law torture the man who would have kidnapped his sister. Taggart had to be imagining what Cassadine would have done to Gia for weeks. He never got the details of the rape and Jason was sure he did not want them.
Slowly he stood. Removing his tailored jacket Jason touched Taggart's shoulder. He turned to Taggart his eyes were like ice. "I need to work. You need to leave."
The black man started to argue then he thought about the bodies of the women they found and those they had never did. Morgan was brutal and they needed information. With a nod, he followed a short guard to the car. The blood chilling screams began before they could close the door.
Jason stood over the bloody man. "Taggert is good in hurting people but I don't want you dead, not yet. You are going to tell me what Stavros is planning for my wife."
Bryson screamed as Jason began working him again. He lasted another fifteen minutes before he was begging to tell Jason the truth. "What is Cassadine planning?"
"I don't know." Bryson whispered. Blood poured from the man's mouth. His eyes had swollen shut. His broken arms dangled useless by his side. "But his brother, Stephan, doesn't want the girl breeding the next heir. He knows Stavros will kill Nicholas if she gives him a child."
"What is Stephan planning?" Johnny asked pointing the gun at the man's head.
"He wants to kill Stavros, but their mother has to die first so she can't come after him." He mumbled. Kill Helena to kill Stavros Jason liked the plan.
"Gia loves those medieval stories where the kings cut off the heads of his enemies and sends them back as messages." Renaldo nodded.
Bryson begged. "Look I told you all I know."
"Get rid of them. Make sure they're found on Cassadine property." Jason walked out of the door followed by Johnny.
"No! Please! I told you everything!"
The limousine had returned with Taggert and A.J. Jason stepped into the car, he wore a new suit. "Take me home."
"So," Taggert asked after they began to drive. "What did he say? Did you kill him?"
Jason nodded his head. The black man grunted. "He served his purpose. Stephan wants his mother dead. We're going to help him do it."
A.J. looked at his brother. Jason was not stupid. He was afraid the former was thinking with his heart. "How? If you approach Stephan Stavros will kill him."
Jason stared out the window. His face a cold mask. Taggart knew that meant he was going to do something he would not like. "I'm not going to talk to him. Gia is."
"No." The black man grunted.
"Gia is the only person who can approach Stephan. If anyone else does it his dead before his plan takes off. He won't hurt Gia."
"How can you be sure?"
"Stavros wants more than just a mistress. If Gia and the Prince had a kid what would it look like?" He asked calmly.
Taggart shrugged. "Gia's dad is white. Mom's light, so is my sister, add the lunatic to the mix. Maybe a little dark than he is."
"He would look Greek." Jason looked at the man. "Stavros needs another heir. He wants it to come from Gia."
The former police officer punched the ceiling. "He wants to breed her?"
Jason nodded. "Gia has to speak to Stephan."
Gia sat in his chair waiting. It was after midnight and none of the men had come back. Carly and Sam fell asleep hours ago. She could not stop waiting for the lock to turn in the door. She was never a patient person. Her mother always said she skipped the patience line and went for seconds of sassiness. She wished she had some now. Add the storm to the mix and she was a mess.
Gia heard the click and closed her eyes. Please,she silently begged.
"Gia?" His soft whisper caressed her.
The former model jumped up and slapped him on the arm before being pulled into his arms. "Next time call."
"Hey, I'm fine." Taggart said from the door as he watched the couple hug.
"Shut up Marcus." She muttered into her husband's chest.
"I need to talk to you." Jason led her to the study.
"What is he planning?" They sat on the leather sofa.
"I think Stavros wants you to breed the next Cassadine heirs." She gasped. "Gia, don't be afraid it's not going to happen."
"I'm not scared, I'm pissed. If that bastard thinks I'm going to be the mother of his spawn…" She snatched her hand away and began pacing the room. "What are we going to do?"
Jason smiled a bit. "Stephan Cassadine is going to be at The Plaza Hotel tomorrow for a private lunch with a 'friend'. I need you to speak with him."
"About what?" She tapped her fingers on the desk.
"He wants to kill Stavros and we're going to help him." Jason stood next to her. "I promise you I will end this."
"I know." She took his hand. She trusted Jason and she was beginning to trust herself. "How long do you think it will take?"
"It could be days or weeks but we need to take things slow. Stavros is crazy but he's not stupid. Every move we make will need to be planned out carefully." Gia rested her head on his chest again. She felt a determination she had not felt in weeks settle in. She would stop this mad man before he killed someone she loved.
