Switching Places
Chapter 57
Elizabeth hung up the phone, then turned to Bobbie Jones and said "I have to head up to four before leaving, do you want me to have Carly stop down before she leaves?"
"No, she is helping with Zander, my god; I can't believe what Helena did, that just, wow." She said not even able to articulate what she was thinking.
"He will live; eventually he will be fine. Thanks to that surgeon in Paris. I just can't believe how far she went. Nik was sickened when he realized what she did." Said Elizabeth before leaving the ER.
Jason was softly talking to Stefan Cassidine, who was pacing up and down the hallways. "So Spencer just takes off, with that idiot kid of his. I almost called a contact of mine and had them thrown in prison over there."
"So she got away?"
"Lucky tripped over a trash can outside the property. Helena's latest henchman shot at us. Nik was hit, but will be fine. A slight flesh wound. Helena was screaming for him not to hit her precious Nikky. I think if Nik had a shot he would have killed her himself."
"Do what you have to; but my men are still going to be watching out for her. Not after what happened to Elizabeth, I won't take any chances."
"Helena achieved her goal, making Zander suffer, then killing Lydia." He said. Then nodding at Morgan, he walked down the hall to see Cameron Lewis about his son.
Elizabeth got off the elevator to see Jason waiting for her. "Are you ready?"
"Afterwards, I want to visit with Lila, I think she should be the first person we tell."
"Sounds good to me, but I want to head up to the cabin afterwards, one last time before it gets too cold and icy for us to be driving that road."
Entering Dr. Meadow's office, they went through the exam and the normal visit about their child. "So it looks like you are about nine weeks pregnant. Congratulations Mr. Morgan. Elizabeth, I want you to take it easy in a couple of months, for now just keep to your routine."
"Are you expecting trouble down the road?" Asked Jason.
"No, just laying the groundwork for when I have to make her stop working in the ER for the last couple of months. Now good luck you two." She said smiling as they left to pick up Elizabeth's vitamins.
Georgie was working at Kelly's, wishing time would move a little faster, they had had two customers since the dinner rush. As she tried to return to studying for her chemistry test, she could not concentrate. Slamming her book shut, she heard someone ask "What did that book ever do to you?"
"Sorry Professor." She said as Sage's uncle entered Kelly's.
"I do understand, what are you studying and why is it annoying you so much."
"Just prepping for a test, but I know this stuff. I just brought it to go over it again but since it is so slow it is boring me to death. What are you doing here? Sage said you were taking her to Montreal for the weekend."
"Blame your father, he found the owners of the last painting, they are coming to get it this weekend. So that means that I have to stay. Skye and Sage went instead. May I get a bowl of chili and some coffee, you know make it for here instead of to go."
When she returned with his coffee, he was amused to find she had brought him out real milk, remembering that he disliked creamer. "Can you join me or do you want to keep on abusing your textbook?"
Sitting down, she said "I will give the book a rest. Can I ask you a question, do you miss Italy?"
Chuckling he said "Yes, but only that idea of having all of Europe just hours away, but Port Charles grows on you. I enjoy the company I have found here. As well as the acceptance of my family's past. In fact, I can not recall of a place where I have lived in the past fifteen years that has felt this much like home. Sage loves it here as well."
"In spite of breaking up with Dillon?" She asked.
"Yes, when I was trying to talk some sense into her the other day, she said that in spite of Dillon, she loved school for the first time. That Brooklynn and you made her feel like she belongs. That the only fly in the ointment so to speak was Lulu Spencer."
"Lulu is more like a mosquito buzzing around, a pest but one you can swat if need be."
As they returned to town, Elizabeth suggested they stop into Kelly's for some late dinner. Walking in they saw Georgie talking to Lorenzo Alcazar in the empty restaurant.
"Hey, Georgie, can we get two bowls of chili, a coffee and a large strawberry milkshake?" Said Elizabeth.
"Sure, Elizabeth do you have a couple of minutes?"
Once in the kitchen, she explained the problem and Elizabeth said "Let me work on it. You're right, but I will see what we can do. Tell Sage to call me I will see what I can do. I heard Brooklynn was upset she didn't get kissed last week?"
"My dad said the women are starting to find out who the kissing bandits were. Dillon was threatened with boarding school." Said Georgie as they walked out to see Lorenzo talking to Jason and Dillon who had joined them.
"I heard from Carly that Lucas was worried about a challenge from Nik, before hand. I am a little upset that no one attempted to kiss me." Elizabeth said laughing.
"Brooklynn said the same thing. But in your case, Lucas and Dillon are scared of Jason, Luke would be just too weird and lets face it, AJ would not want to upset Jason."
"True, but it would have been nice for it to be attempted." She said with a laugh and a pout.
Georgie just laughed and returned to the kitchen to get their food.
Lorenzo winced when he heard what had happened to this Smith kid. Ouch, no one should be tortured like that. Telling Jason he had identified the last painting, he left to tell Mac that he had seen this Howard woman and that it hadn't been pleasant.
Mac took out the bottle of aspirin and took a couple. Walking back to the evidence locker he said "Miss Howard, I have nothing to with the scratch on the painting. If you will look at the evidence photos, you will see that it was that way when we found it at Crimson Point."
"What about the missing smaller pieces?"
"Nothing, look tell your attorney that if he is still insisting that the city pay damages he will lose his case."
"Look, Officer, you don't understand, this is a hundred thousand-dollar painting, your men clearly had no knowledge of how to properly remove artwork and clearly someone in your department ruined this painting."
Mac wished that he could call his wife, but when Alexis had heard the painting belonged to Kate Howard she had been worse than Maxie at the idea of her favorite rock star.
"Look, you can threaten us with attorneys but the simple fact is that your insurance company agrees with our expert's statement. Now please sign here or I will make arrangements with your insurance company." He said just wanting to go home for the evening.
Johnny wished that Jason hadn't assigned him to look closer at Miss Howard. They could find no information about the woman before she attended Princeton University. Since finding the drugs at her place while helping Maria, they had gotten no where looking into her background. She was an enigma; one that Trevor Lansing wanted dead.
After assigning one of the guards to follow her back into the city, he stopped to visit with Georgie at Kelly's. The younger Jones girl usually closed alone, so he would frequently stop in to see her. Alexis like Elizabeth had always been one of his favorites. For that reason alone he would keep an eye on the girl, but he also liked the way she said what was on her mind.
As she closed, he waited, then when she stopped at the counter and said "Mr. O'Brien, can I ask you a question. There is something I need to find out, but I can't tell my dad or Alexis. Plus if my friends find out, it could be bad, especially since I think someone is playing a joke on me?"
Sitting down on a barstool, he said "Tell me what is going on and I will see if I can help."
Listening to her story of postcards, letters and kissing as well as dancing in the dark, he tried not to smile. Oh to be sixteen again and be worried only about going to college and not getting your heart broken. "Do you want me to find out who is doing this?"
"Please! I mean I can pay you, I don't know how much something like this would cost..."
"Nothing, do you know that your father stole my dinner date? I used to have dinner with Alexis once a week, she reminded me of this aunt of mine. The reason I come here so frequently is because of that and you, kid, you remind me of another girl I know."
"Thank you, I just need to know if I am the laughing stock someplace." She said.
Alexis entered GH hoping to see if Elizabeth had time for lunch, but instead was forced to listen as Lulu Spencer took over the lunch she was eating with Carly and griped about her life.
"So anyhow, she acts like Dillon dumping her is my fault." She said shrugging. "I just kissed him; he didn't have to kiss me back."
Alexis wondered if Tony Jones would lend her one of his saws, she would perform her own lobotomy, skipping the drugs if it would get her far, far away from Lulu. Seeing Elizabeth and Emily entering, she nudged Carly who was staring at Lulu like she was an episode of Jerry Springer.
"How is he?"
"Doing better, the doctor said that he would be fine, it will take some time for things to get working." She said a little embarrassed by the topic, "but he will live a long life. He recalled what happened to Lydia though. He took it rather hard, blamed himself."
Emily just sat down and took the offered coffee from Carly and sipped. While Zander had said it wasn't her fault, she could not help feeling guilt. He had pointed out that was what Helena wanted. But he would not give into her, he was going to take Lydia to Florida and bury her there. They had spent time there before heading to her hometown and had enjoyed the days there.
Lulu waited until there was a lull in the discussion then said "Why did Helena try and cut off his thingy?"
Carly stared, then said "I think you need to go home, now."
Emily got off the boat and went straight into Nik's arms. Her family was pushing her to move home, but home was were ever Nik was. "Zander wants to go to Florida. He just wants to get away from it all."
"I can't say I blame him. Lulu called complaining about being mistreated. I am so sorry she asked that."
"She is young, but I just could not deal. Carly got her out of there. Have you heard from Luke or Lucky?"
"No, we got an e-mail the other day, but you already know about that."
"I can't decide if I want him to catch up with her or not. Luke likes the chase, I think some part of him let's her escape and I hate that Lucky is in danger."
"In a way it's a good thing he is gone. He is getting over Liz and being away might actually help with that. He got drunk the night of the masquerade, Ned saw him passed out in the hallway. That's how I knew where to send Luke."
"I agree, Liz just found out she's pregnant, something I don't think Lucky is going to handle too well, no matter how much he is over Liz that is going to hurt him." Said Emily. "Having something to do will help him."
"I won't let him know about the baby, I will keep that to myself."
"What was in that book that Zander gave you, by the way?"
"Some old diary of my pirate ancestor. I was reading it earlier; it records our family's first visit to Port Charles."
Carly waited until Michael was in bed and Morgan was with AJ before drawing Lulu off to the breakfast nook. "WE need to talk about your behavior. Lulu, that was awful, Emily feels guilty enough without you making it public knowledge what happened to Zander."
"It's not like most people don't know." She shrugged. "Besides I was just trying to make conversation, that's all."
"Don't do it again. How are things with Dillon?" She asked knowing that was the one topic that would keep Lulu occupied for hours. Her great and passionate love for the annoying kid.
Elizabeth entered the penthouse, to hear Jason puttering around in the kitchen. Entering she saw him putting food on plates and discarding the takeout containers. "What did you make for dinner, dear?" She asked.
"All your favorites. It's sort of a delayed birthday dinner." He said leading her to the living room and lighting the fireplace.
As they finished the sparkling cider and ate the last morsel of food, Jason told her to close her eyes.
"Okay open them." Seeing the small cake, she leaned over to kiss Jason, being sure to avoid the candles.
"Thank you." Making a wish, Elizabeth blew out the two candles. "So how did you manage to get out of work? I thought that you had meetings tonight. That was what you told Carly earlier."
"I didn't lie. I just never told her what kind of meeting I had." He said handing her the piece of cake he had cut for her. Then picking up the fork, he divided a small chunk and fed it to her.
Laughing she said "I could feed myself."
"Yes, but our little one can't so I will just have to feed his or her mommy."
"You are so whipped, what are you going to be like when he is born."
"We don't know it's a boy." He reminded her again.
"Carly said I had a boy, so he will be a boy."
"Carly also believes in the tooth fairy, Santa Claus and the Easter bunny." He said dryly.
"No, honestly she doesn't. She just claims to that way she receives money, presents and candy."
Jason and Elizabeth slowly edged together, slowly ending up the way they spent most nights at home. Elizabeth with a textbook, Jason with one of his travel guides. As she was ready to head up to bed, Elizabeth lifted the edge of the book he was reading and said "Walt Disney World. Jason why are you reading this, you would hate it there."
"Our little one is going to want to go someday." He said.
"Jason, he is our son, he will most likely want to go on a motorcycle rally to art museums across Europe. I was thinking we could send him to Walt Disney World with that other Captain of crass commercialism, Aunt Carly."
"I mean we have Nik who will want to show how Royalty lives, Emily who will want him to make mud pies if that is what makes him happy. Sonny who will want to send him to cooking school, and let face it Alexis will want him to go to law school with Kristina, trust me she has one already picked out."
"I say we take our baby and run. Let Francis and Johnny takeover."
"Jason Morgan, are you turning coward?"
"It's just you never even mentioned the Quartermaine's in that litany. For the sake of our child, we should at least consider it."
"That' right, OUR child, who will make up his own mind and join the circus if he wants."
Chapter 58
It was two days before Thanksgiving and Elizabeth was feeling an awful lot like the turkey. "So, anyhow Grams is insisting we have dinner with Steven and her. Your parents want us there; at least Bobbie accepts that we want to eat dinner alone. Sonny is expecting us."
"Elizabeth, I am just concerned. I mean you are eating lunch in the supply closet. Is it that hard to say no to all of them?"
"Yes, but the worst part is Alan thinks it is because of the pizza." She said hitting her head against the pile of towels.
"Nik and I are going to Bobbie's then stopping over at the mansion for pie."
"So I hear Luke hasn't given up the chase." Elizabeth was just grateful that so far November had been a Lucky free month.
"No, in fact Stefan went to visit the Island in Greece and had a close encounter with her."
Hearing a door open, they looked up to see Bobbie standing there, "Elizabeth, trauma coming in, they need you down in the ER."
Walking into the cubicle, Elizabeth saw that Lucas was her patient. Pulling on her gloves she stitched up his arm and head then asked what happened.
"Car accident. Sage was practicing driving and some woman ran into the road. We swerved to avoid her but hit a swing set in stead. Thank god there were no kids at the park. How is our teacher?"
"I will go and find out. You stay here."
Bobbie got the word and rushed down to ER. "ELIZABETH, where is Lucas."
Calming down the hysterical woman, she said "Curtain two. He is fine. Just a few stitches."
"Elizabeth, patient in room four needs his arm sown up."
Entering Elizabeth was looking down pulling on gloves, looking up she saw Sonny sitting there.
"What happened?"
"I was using a new knife. Sliced my arm when I went to wipe it on the towel that is usually on my arm."
"Be careful, otherwise I am going to be stuck eating pizza the day after tomorrow."
Working her way out of the Emergency room hub, Elizabeth had filed her final paperwork for the day. Turning to her guard, she asked him to take her to the warehouse.
"Jason, I ended up deciding on Sonny's. I told my grams we would stop over later for pie. She invited your folks for dessert as well."
Reaching for his wife, Jason pulled her close and said "I received these in the mail today, from a company we do business with. What should we do, use them or give them away?"
Taking a look, Elizabeth said "While I would love to go, I think I would rather wait a couple of years."
As they walked out the door, Elizabeth mentally counted, then said "twelve tickets, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Let's send AJ and Carly, with Michael, Sage, Georgie, Lulu and Brooklynn. Maxie is she want to go as well. Lucas and Dillon can act as help for this as well. Since we need to send guards, we can have Milo and Max go too."
"You call Carly and Alexis, I will call AJ." He said resigned to not getting home for a while.
Walking into the studio, Elizabeth checked for the presence of the Zachara kid. "He hasn't been here since the week of the masquerade. Should we be worried for him?"
"I just hope he found his mother. The painting should have given him all the clues we had." Said Jason. Hearing his phone chirp, he explained to AJ what was going on. "Okay, but I think that the jet would work better."
After a few minutes, Jason hung up and said "It's all set. He talked to Mac and Alexis as well as Carly. They are leaving tomorrow on Amtrak. He arranged to use a couple of suites at the Renaissance Hotel in Times Square. Morgan and Leticia are going, but not to the parade. He is arranging so that she can watch it from the hotel room since it is on the parade route."
Grabbing the sketchbook she came for, Elizabeth and Jason headed home, wanting some peace and quiet for the insanity that was to come the next morning.
Entering the train station, Elizabeth was surprised to see everything was calm. Looking at AJ she raised her eyebrow as if to say what is going on.
"I was smart; I took Grandmother's advice and put Georgie in charge." He said. The young brunette was herding the others on to the train, while Carly and Leticia were arranging Morgan into his car seat. The only sound of discord was Michael wanting to sit with both Sage and Georgie.
"Mikey, why don't you sit with Sage there and me on the way back." She said. Seeing Milo and Max the conductor requested to see the gun permits and notes from the Judge Jason had called. Soon all were settled and with well wishes Elizabeth and Jason got off the train, wishing them a Happy Thanksgiving.
Walking back to the SUV, Elizabeth took a second look, then said to Jason, "I thought I just saw Sarah."
"Your sister?" He asked surprised.
"Yes, it's weird, I mean I know she is visiting my parents, but it really looked like her."
Thanksgiving morning, Elizabeth woke up Jason way too early. "Why are we getting up at five in the morning if we don't have to?"
"I want to watch the parade and in order to do that I have to make brownies now." She said groaning. "If I have to be up so do you."
An hour later after he had managed to distract her long enough for some loving, she finally got out of bed. "Let's start a tradition and watch this every year."
Jason asked when did she want to go visit with Nik and Emily. "They are seeing Zander off this morning; he is flying home, so I say we wait until afterwards." She said before dragging him into the kitchen to help.
After finishing the brownies and watching the parade, he was carrying her back upstairs for another shower. "Jason, we don't have time for this." Hearing the house phone ringing, she reached out and grabbed it on the way. Leaning her head against his neck, she said "Hello?"
"Elizabeth, this is your grandmother."
"Hello, grams, happy thanksgiving."
"My dear are you okay, you sound out of breath."
"Sorry Grams, Jason is insisting on carrying me upstairs since I tire so easily. I had to bake some brownies this morning."
"I am sure that it was very exhausting, Elizabeth." She said sardonically. "When you finally find the energy to get out of bed, give me a call about dessert. Sarah stopped in on her way to Russia from Chicago, so we have more company."
"See you later, grams." She said as she was dropped on the padded bench in the bathroom.
Audrey hung up the phone and turned to Sarah and Steven. "Elizabeth will be by later. So does anyone want any breakfast?"
"She was still in bed, but it is almost twelve thirty." Protested Sarah. "I came all this way to be with my family and she can't even bother to show up?"
"Sarah, you just showed up, no warning. Elizabeth has a life she can't just drop everything and pop over to see you." Said Steven. "I am sure that Jason and her have quite a few people to see today."
"And she is still lazing around in bed." Snarked Sarah."
"My dear, that isn't what happened. They were on their way back to bed, I think they are just enjoying celebrating their anniversary."
Wanting to pretend to gag, Sarah just kept her face blank, wishing just once that she was the center of the attention that Elizabeth seemed to thrive from.
Elizabeth stopped next to the bike, then pouted. "Don't even think about it. It is too cold and you know that it is still slick from the leaves." Said Jason.
As they pulled out of the garage, Jason looked at his watch, just enough time, before meeting Emily, he saw.
Pulling into the parking lot, he stopped the SUV. "So what do you think?"
"About what?" She said looking around. There was nothing near them except the old cannery.
Jason helped her out of the truck, then walked her over to the building. "This is where Francis suggested putting the shopping center. We can put in that coffee shop, some new piers for fishing off of. Maybe some office space for area businesses."
"It's great, but I thought you had planned on tearing it down, what changed your mind."
"Just something I saw when exploring the building. What to see?" Jason hoped her natural curiosity would allow him to get her inside.
Entering Elizabeth saw the inside had been cleared of debris and some work had begun. Jason held her close as they walked to the edge of the pier, placing his hands in his pocket, Jason pulled out the blindfold and said "I have a surprise for you." Hearing the husky tone of voice, she realized he was nervous.
Placing it on, she was lead to the end of the building. "I was thinking about what we discussed that last day in Italy, about a long trip on a boat and came up with an idea. I had help with this, but if you don't like it we can do something else."
"Jason, I am sure I will love it, just show me." She said gently. Jason raised the shutters and opened the large windows. Removing the blindfold Elizabeth opened her eyes, stunned.
"J-Jason, that is a really big boat." She said as he escorted her onto the cement pier. "Wha-Ho-wow! Oh my god, Jason. Did you charter this for us?"
"No." he said seeing her hide her disappointment he said "I bought it. The company AJ works for renovated it for us. It is 125' built by Palmer Johnson. Do you want to go on board? "
Elizabeth stared at the large white yacht she had once joked with Jason about after seeing one floating past their window on the Adriatic. "Yes, does it have a name?
"Of course, she does. All boats are called she. She is called Awolgere il Cerctore. It means Wind Seeker. When I saw its name, I couldn't resist."
"It's beautiful, and all I got you was a new jacket." She said before bursting into tears. Jason pulled her into his arms and carried her to the main cabin, past the startled crew.
"So should we just give up on them?" Asked Emily when it was twenty minutes past three.
"Try his phone again, I can't believe Elizabeth just stood us up." Said Nik, then seeing them arriving, stood up. "Is everything okay?"
Elizabeth took one look at them and started crying again. "Jason just gave me my anniversary gift."
Nik took the box of brownies thrust at him by Elizabeth and stood watching as she sat down on the bench and cried.
"Jason doesn't she like the gift?" He asked "Maybe you should get her something else." He said as Elizabeth just burst into tears again.
"Jase, just what did you get her?" Asked Emily as Elizabeth dried her tears and pointed out towards Spoon Island.
"He bought me that."
Not looking any further than her finger, Nik said "Elizabeth I swear he didn't buy Wyndamere, he is just teasing." Handing her a handkerchief, he continued. "I promise I wouldn't let my worst enemy give someone that for a present."
Emily was sure there was some sort of a misunderstanding and looked around. Seeing the gorgeous yacht floating past, wondered who it belonged to. Seeing the name, she finally got it. "Elizabeth you aren't crying because you hate it, are you?"
"No, I love my present, but I couldn't think of what to get him, so I got him a jacket. The same jacket he already has. He gets me a boat, and I get him a lousy jacket. I almost forgot and rushed to the mall yesterday, and he gets me a boat. I am a bad wife."
Jason had seen Elizabeth's hormones fluctuate, but this had to be the worst so far. "Elizabeth" he said pulling her into his arms. "Do you want me to take it back?"
By the time they arrived at the Lake house, Nik had promised to never give Emily a yacht, then laughed as they discussed what would be acceptable.
"You show up late and are laughing. Shame on you Nik that isn't very princely behavior." Joked Alexis as she let them in. "Mac and Stefan are in the living room, lets join them."
When they arrived, Stefan asked why they were late. When Nik explained, Alexis just sighed. "I can imagine. If someone was nice and gave me the last doughnut, I would cry. If someone had given me a yacht, I would have filled the ocean with the tears I shed. Not that it is very practical of a present."
"I think my brother was so sweet." Said Emily as she went to get the door for Alexis. Letting in Lorenzo, Taggert and a few of their single friends, she told Diane about the boat.
"He has been planning this since he saw it on their honeymoon."
Sonny was helping Elizabeth remove her coat, when Mike entered with the appetizers. "So did she like it?"
"Yes, but don't mention it. She starts crying." He told Sonny.
"Hormones?"
"Yes." Mike stayed for dinner, but left soon afterwards. Sonny knew that he had placed bets on the football games and wished the man could stay away from all his vices.
"Sonny, I love that picture." Elizabeth said walking over to the fireplace.
"It's my mother. Mac found it at Crimson Point. They think a woman painted it. One of the captives. They found a picture next to it. My mother when she was young."
"Did you find out anything more?" She asked squeezing his hand.
"It looks like my stepfather sold my mother to Trevor. Who then locked her up in those rooms. They think she was the first one held there. From the bodies, they know that most of them were held years ago. Trevor is a sick bastard. I want him to be treated like he did my mother. Then I hope he dies a painful death."
Elizabeth held him, knowing how what had happened still ate at Sonny, she asked if he was still helping Ric. "I am the only one left. Who knows how he would have turned out if Trevor hadn't separated us? I mean Carly said he tried to help her. That was why he ended up in a coma."
Jason sincerely hoped that Ric never woke up, he was content to let him lie in that care facility but if he woke up, he was dead.
As they left the former mobster alone for the evening, Elizabeth slipped back to grab her coat. Hearing Sonny on the phone ordering a date, she decided to ask Carly to help her find him a partner.
Sarah let the Quartermaines in. "Dr and Dr. Quartermaine, Grams is in the kitchen, she will be right out."
"Does she need some help?" Asked Monica.
"It would be nice if Elizabeth was here to help, but she is off with Jason." Said the blond.
"Yes, Sarah, we were doing something with the rest of our family. Hello, Monica." She said receiving a hug from her mother in law. "Pizza?" She asked.
"No." to the surprise of the entire room. "Chinese food, this year."
"Turns out our pizza shop closed earlier this summer." Said Alan as he greeted Elizabeth. "So what did you do for your anniversary?"
"We have a quiet evening at home and same for this morning. Watched the parade to see if we saw the Port Charles crew. Received a very large boat as a gift, saw Emily and Nik then went to eat with Sonny and Mike. How about you?" Asked Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth did you say a large boat?" Asked Steven as he helped pass out the pie for Audrey who looked at her granddaughter, then laughed at her description of the boat and it's effect on her hormones.
"Jason it sounds like you had an eventful day; do you want a beer?" Asked Steven before going to get one for himself.
"No thank, I have to drive. The suburban is hard for Elizabeth to steer."
Sarah followed her sister out to the kitchen. "So Lizzie are you happy to see me?"
"I am always glad to spent time with family. How are you Sarah?"
"I'm just fine, obviously not as fine as you are. A yacht huh, does he know you married him for his money, I mean he's brain dead from what I recall."
Monica was about to enter to tell the blond what she thought of her when Elizabeth's answer had her backing away in laughter.
"No Sarah, you have it wrong. I married him for the sex, the lots and lots of sex. He is pretty single minded when he wants to be, and I love that it is concentrated on me. Now if you will excuse me, I have to drag him off to my lair and have my way with him."
Walking out, she hugged her grams and said to Steven that she would see him tomorrow. "Sarah, I wish I could say it's been fun, but it hasn't."
As Elizabeth told Carly what had happened the blond said "She is leaving on Monday right?"
"Yes, why?"
"I have an idea. Trust me you don't want to know. Do you want me to pick up anything for you before we return tomorrow?"
"No, enjoy the day."
Sarah was waiting for the man to let her through, when she found herself handcuffed. "There must be some kind of mistake."
"I don't think so, please come with us while we open this suitcase."
Sarah found herself escorted to a room and strip-searched. Mac arrived at the airport, responding to the call.
"Miss, either give us your keys or we will cut the lock." Said the FAA inspector. Seeing her nod her head no, he told Taggert to cut it open. As the case opened they could hear the sound of the buzzing even before uncovering it.
Sarah wanted to curl up and die. What on earth?
"Those aren't mine." She insisted when they pulled out the various items. Mac removed one of them from the shopping bag along with the receipt. "Sarah Lynn Webber, that is what the credit card receipt says."
"I didn't buy those disgusting things. Elizabeth did this, she had to, no one else hates me that much."
"Remove the cuffs. Miss Webber-"
"Doctor-" she growled.
"Dr. Webber, next time remove the batteries, please. Now you can go now." Said the man in the blue uniform.
Elizabeth watched the tape, then turned to Carly and said "that was fun, I can't believe you did that."
"The best part was that it was a place with no cameras so if they had gone and asked the man would have just been able to confirm it was a tall blond."
"Where did you come up with that?"
"I was going to do it to Saint Robin, but decided she would use it as an excuse to stay longer." She said turn hit the button to rewind the tape.
