A/N – Thanks for the comments! AJ is definitely cray cray at this point. His actions will have repercussions.
Chapter 27 - Saved
Jason and the rest of Anna's agent traveled to the location in several SUV's. Once there, they fanned out started moving towards the house.
"Stay close to me," Anna said.
Jason nodded and followed her into the woods. When they got towards the edge Anna whispered, "Wait for it."
And suddenly a helicopter appeared out of nowhere with a spotlight on and all the guard's attention were diverted.
"Go," Anna yelled. Everyone moved forward and started to engage the other men.
A few of them were shot and a few others put their guns down and their hands up.
"This is the WSB. You are all under arrest. Relinquish your weapons or you will be shot," A loud voice said from the helicopter.
AJ was in the house panicking. He ran to Elizabeth's room and unlocked the door and when he threw it open, he didn't see her. "Elizabeth," he yelled.
He heard a crash come from the room next door and shut the door and locked it. He ran over to the bathroom. "Come out now or I'll break the fucking door down," AJ shouted.
Elizabeth and Susan were in the shower. Susan had drawn her gun and they were just waiting to see what AJ would do. Realizing that there were probably too many agents around for her to escape, Kristen decided to just play along.
They both flinched when they heard him crash up against the door.
Suddenly, his body hurled into the room and Susan shot once, purposely missing him.
Anna and Jason were downstairs and ran up the steps as fast as they could.
Susan and AJ struggled over her gun and he shoved her and it clattered to the floor. Elizabeth was going to jump on him but she remembered the baby and didn't want to get hurt.
"Susan," she yelled.
Susan pretended to cower in the corner.
Jason broke down the bedroom door and they ran inside.
AJ cursed and grabbed Elizabeth and put a gun to her head. "Don't move."
"Elizabeth," Jason yelled.
"I'm here."
AJ bent down and grabbed Susan's gun and put it in his pocket. "Don't come any closer," AJ said.
"You're surrounded AJ," Anna said. "Give it up or you're just going to face more charges."
AJ pushed Elizabeth towards the door. "Back up." he yelled.
Jason and Anna backed up.
Finally Jason could see her and their eyes locked before Jason took a visual survey of her body.
AJ pushed her further into the room. "Susan, get out here."
Susan got up and went into the room where a shocked Jason and Anna stood. She ran over to Jason and he quickly looked at the cut on her head. "Are you alright?" he asked.
She nodded. "I tried to save her to make up for what Kristen did."
Jason sighed. "It's okay." He turned and looked at AJ. "Do you seriously think I'm going to let you leave here with her?"
AJ smirked. "You don't have a choice. She's my insurance."
"I have put up with your bullshit for years. You do destructive things and think you can blame it on everyone else. It ends here AJ. You are finally going to pay for what you did. I will make sure of it," Jason threatened.
AJ laughed. "You think you're so smart don't you?"
Another agent moved into the room.
"Don't come any closer. You all need to drop your guns. I have nothing to lose here," AJ said lethally. "Do it," he yelled.
"Do as he says," Anna said knowing she could be heard by the helicopter and the other agents on the ground.
They all lowered their guns and placed them onto the floor.
"Here's how this is going to go. I'm going to take her downstairs and we'll get in the car. You will not follow me. If you do, she dies. Say goodbye Elizabeth because this will be the last time that you see my brother," AJ promised.
Jason looked her in the eye as a tear fell down her face. "I love you Elizabeth."
She whimpered a little before saying, "I love you Jason."
Before AJ could move, a body crashed through the window and rammed into AJ's back making him drop the gun and he and Liz fell to the floor.
There was a struggle and Liz pulled her legs into her chest, trying to protect the baby as she screamed for Jason.
He ran towards them and grabbed her and pulled her away from the other two bodies as several agents swarmed AJ.
Jason sat on the bed with Elizabeth in his arms. "Are you okay?"
She tried to stop crying but she couldn't help it. Gripping him tightly, her small body shook as she released all the tension from her body.
"It's okay. I've got you," he said quietly.
Susan sat down next to them. "You and your baby are going to be just fine," she said rubbing Elizabeth's back.
The agents cuffed AJ and stood him up.
A man ran into the room. "Anna, we found the bodies of Stefano and EJ Dimera in the woods. It looks like they had just started to dig the graves."
"Well, well," she said to AJ. "You'll never see the light of day again."
AJ's panicked eyes looked at his brother. "You did this. You set me up."
Jason's eyes were cold as ice. "You did all of this to yourself."
An emotional Susan got up and smacked AJ across the face before Anna pulled her back, "You killed my Elvis," she screamed.
Anna tried to calm her and handed her over to another female agent.
Liz looked over at them. "What are you going to do with her?"
"Don't worry. We'll make sure we get her the help she needs. We know about the convent. That is her home and we'll take her back there," Anna said.
Liz nodded and stood up. "What happened to your hand?"
"I was injured. Marcus said you were in the truck and I tried to stop the car from going over the side but couldn't. Luckily, you weren't in there," Jason explained.
"Is it bad?"
He nodded. "Patrick did some surgery and I can't use it for a while." He looked over at Anna. "Can we have her checked out at the hospital?"
Anna nodded. "Go ahead."
Jason started to pick her up but Elizabeth shook her head no. She was scared that he'd hurt his hand. It was bad enough that he had already grabbed her. Johnny, who was standing in the doorway, walked into the room. "I've got her," he said picking her up. "You okay?"
Elizabeth slightly smiled. "I am now."
"Good," he said. "Let's go."
He carried her downstairs and to the awaiting ambulance. They put her inside and then Jason climbed in.
"I'll be right behind you," Johnny said.
"Thanks," Jason said.
The doors closed and they got Elizabeth settled and started an I.V.
"I'm probably dehydrated," Liz said.
"Have you been dizzy?" The tech asked.
"A little bit. I have a headache which I don't normally have and I'm thirsty," Liz said. "I'm a nurse."
He pinched her skin and saw it bounce back a little but not as much as it should. He got a saline bag ready and hooked it up.
"You're blood pressure is way too high," The man said. "You're safe now. Try to relax okay?"
Liz looked over at Jason and he held her hand and she closed her eyes. His touch was already making her feel a lot better.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Sarah rushed up to the gurney. "Elizabeth," she said loudly.
"Hey. Did you miss me?"
Sarah nodded with tears in her eyes. "Are you okay?"
"I think so. I'm just dehydrated and my pressure is up," she said.
"I'll go get Kelly," Sarah said darting off down a hallway.
Monica led the gurney into a room and they got Elizabeth settled.
"Just rest. We're going to draw some blood and make sure that you're fine," Monica said.
"Thank you," Elizabeth said as she still clutched Jason's hand. She never wanted to let it go.
Kelly came into the room as the nurse started to draw the blood. "Hello. How are you feeling?"
"Just tired. I didn't get a lot of sleep," she said.
"The saline should help. I want do an ultrasound and check out the baby," Kelly said. "I'll be right back."
"Okay," Liz said.
Jason took the opportunity to lean over and kiss her. "I missed your mouth."
Liz smiled. "Not as much as I missed yours," she said with a wink, making Jason chuckle.
The nurse smiled and finished up and left the room.
Epiphany walked in. "Are you okay?"
Liz smiled. "I'm doing much better."
"I was in the hallway when they took you and the man tried to hurt Cody."
Elizabeth frowned. "Is he okay?"
"He's fine," Jason said.
"Good," Liz said letting out a sigh of relief. "I'm sorry I scared you."
"As long as you're okay, that's all that matters," Epiphany said.
Kelly came in pushing a cart and got started.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
A fast heartbeat soon filled the room and Liz breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sounds good," Kelly said. "When is the last time you ate something?"
"I haven't been eating much. Everything makes me sick," Liz explained.
"What can you keep down?" Kelly asked as she moved the wand over Elizabeth's belly.
"Eggs and fruit," she said.
"I'll go down to the cafeteria and have them make you some. Will you eat some toast?" Kelly asked.
Liz nodded.
"Alright," she said looking at the screen. "Baby Morgan looks good."
Jason smiled at the reference.
Kelly cleaned her up. "I want to keep you overnight. Your blood pressure is still up a little higher than I like and you've been under a lot of stress."
"Okay," Elizabeth said.
"I'll have them find you a room and I'll go get your food," Kelly said.
"You don't have to do that," Liz said.
Kelly smiled. "It's okay. There's not much going on tonight."
"Thank you Kelly." Jason said.
"You're welcome," she said leaving the room.
Jason touched Liz's stomach and then kissed it. Patrick walked in.
"Hey," he said smiling. "I had to see you with my own eyes. Besides, I wanted to check up on your boyfriend."
Liz smiled. "I'm okay."
"Good," Patrick said holding out his hand. "Let me see."
Jason made a face and put his hand into Patrick's.
"You bled a little. Come with me," Patrick said.
"Yes mom."
"Funny," Patrick said leading him out of the room.
Monica slipped inside. "How are you doing?"
"I'm fine," she said. "Monica, did anyone tell you what happened yet?"
She shook her head no.
"Maybe we should wait for Jason then," she said.
"Okay. We were all very worried about you," Monica said taking a seat.
"You and me both," Liz said.
"I called Lila and let her know that you both are safe. She sends her regards."
Liz smiled. "We'll have to come visit soon."
A few minutes later, Patrick and Jason walked back in.
"How is he?" Liz asked. "And don't pull any punches."
Patrick grinned. "I think I'm more scared of him then you."
Liz glared at him. "That would be a mistake."
Monica chuckled. "You better tell her Patrick."
"Slow down slugger. You know you're hot when you glare like that."
"Patrick," Sarah said walking into the room. "Behave."
Patrick grinned. "Fine. He'll be okay. The stitches pulled a little but he's fine as long as he does nothing with that hand for a next few days and I mean nothing."
Jason sighed. "Okay….okay."
Patrick was paged so he and Sarah left the room.
"So, you can tell me what happened now."
Jason sighed. "I'm sorry to have to tell you this."
Monica got up and walked around the bed to stand next to her son. "It's okay Jason. I can handle it."
He stood up and grabbed her hands. "AJ was the one who set all of this in motion."
Monica gasped. "What?"
"He was working with a man named Stefano Dimera. You probably know of EJ Banks."
She nodded.
"He was actually EJ Dimera," Jason said.
"AJ wanted to hurt Jason. He felt like the family stood by him no matter what he did and cast him aside. He was very bitter and wanted revenge," Liz explained.
"Was he going to kill you?" Monica asked. She had started to shake a little and Jason made her sit down.
"From what I can gather, EJ initially was going to marry me and then that went awry. AJ was working with a man named Marcus," Liz said.
"Taggert." Jason finished.
Monica's mouth dropped open.
"I think he was going to let the Dimeras do away with me. He then decided to use Elizabeth to get to me. He wanted some of our warehouses," Jason explained.
"Then he figured that marrying me would kill Jason," Liz said. "He was planning on doing that in the morning," she said softly.
"Oh my God, "Monica said. "Is there more?"
Jason nodded. "Yes. I'm afraid that the bodies of the Dimeras were found on the property. Apparently, AJ killed them."
Liz and Jason looked at each other. Part of Liz hated lying but AJ had taken things too far and had threatened her life. He needed to be handled for good.
Monica started to cry and apologize and Jason got down on his knees and held her. Alan had been standing in the doorway and he was stunned.
"I can't believe he would do all of that," Alan said moving into the room with tears in his eyes. "I feel partially responsible. I pushed him away because of his actions and maybe that was the wrong thing to do."
Jason looked up at his father. "He was destructive and almost killed me. Not to mention that he was destroying everything around him. What were you supposed to do?"
"When you were lashing out, I waited you out. I never let you think that I gave up on you. I should have done that with AJ. There were probably better ways to have punished him without making him think we hated him," Alan said emotionally. "I'm so sorry Elizabeth."
Liz wiped away a tear. "Sometimes you just do the best you can. AJ was an adult. He made a choice to do all of this. He could have confronted you and talked it out but he didn't do that."
Monica pulled back from Jason. "I need to see him. Where is he?"
"Anna had him arrested. He's probably at the PCPD," Jason said.
Alan pulled his wife into his arms. "We'll go together."
Monica nodded. "I'll come check on you later," she said to Elizabeth.
"Thank you Monica," Liz said.
They watched him go.
"Do you think I went too far with the bodies?" Jason asked.
"You did what you thought you needed to in order to stop him. AJ didn't seem like he had any desire to change his opinion or do the right thing. He fought until the end. Don't second guess your instincts," Liz said.
Jason sighed. "I love you."
"I love you too," she said as Jason hugged her tightly.
A/N – There is a lot of family drama coming up regarding AJ.
