Ok so I know this took awhile to be updated and this isn't even a very long/good update, but here it is. I made the mistake last week to start watching again because my sister said it should be getting interesting and I just have to say it might have been a mistake to start watching again. My heart is literally breaking for Sam and Jason makes me want to throw something. If I allowed myself to yell at my TV I'm sure my voice would be hoarse now. Anyways because I watched I'm struggling now and so I'm sorry for doing that to all of you!

"Bernie I want the men looking everywhere, Jerry is the type to want to make a game of this."Jason says coming down the stairs of Sonny's house, having stopped there to change out of his tux. "No, I don't think he would do that." Noticing Carly and Sonny waiting for him in the living room Jason hurries off the phone. "I don't care what you think Bernie, just do it!"Jason snaps before ending the call.
"Bernie knows what he's doing Jason, you just have to trust him." Sonny says coming up to Jason holding out a drink. "Sam is going to be alright, you'll find her in time."
Shaking his head at the drink Jason lets out a sigh. "He doesn't think Jerry would stick around once he had Sam."
"Well he kind of has a point Jason." Carly says from her spot on the couch. "Jerry would be crazy to think you wouldn't come after him for taking Sam."
"That's just it Carly, Jerry is a sociopath who feeds off of sick games like keeping Sam hostage and in Port Charles just out of my reach."Jason paces the room as he speaks. "He wouldn't get as much thrill out of just killing Sam like Bernie suggested."
"You make him sound so…"Struggling for a word Carly just shudders a little and looks at Jason with sympathy.
"What do you need me to do?"Sonny asks setting down both his and Jason's still full glasses and turning back to face his long time friend and business partner.
"Yes Jason, me too. Whatever you need I want to help." Carly says struggling to get herself off the couch with her pregnant belly.
Jason stopped his pacing to look back at the two of them and could only shake his head first."Carly you need to stay off your feet remember?" Jason reminds her.
"Psh!" Carly waves away his concern. "I'm fine, this baby and I are both fine. Besides do you really think I'm going to be able to just sit here and do nothing while the two of you are out there? Do you know me at all Jason?"
"Carly…" Sonny says clearly exasperated having been living with her the past week.
"I want the two of you to stay here." Jason interrupts before the two of them could start arguing.
"Jason we want to help you!"Carly sulks.
"Carly it will help me more to know you're here, out of harm's way and taking care of yourself and your un-born baby. I can't be worried about you when I'm looking for Sam."
"He's right Carly."Sonny says seeing that his ex-wife was considering to argue.
"And Sonny you'll stay here with her and make sure doesn't do anything right?" Jason poses it as a question, but Sonny knows him well enough to know it wasn't meant that way.
"Right."
"I'm going to leave then and catch up with Max and Milo."Jason says making his way to the door. As he reaches for the handle it opens under his hand and Jason has to step out of the way fast as Spinelli rushes through the door.
"Stonecold I'm sorry to report that the Jackal has failed to find a trail yet for either the Goddess or the Unhinged one, but fear not for I will not quit until all is right with the world."
"Oh Spinelli you look so handsome in your tux." Carly can't help but say once he stops talking.
"Greatest thanks Valkyrie, the Jackal hasn't taken but a moment to rest since discovering Fair Samantha has been abducted."
"Spinelli you can't be working now." Carly immediately contradicts and once again tries to rise from the couch, but Sonny stops her with a hand on her shoulder. "It's your wedding night you should be spending it with Maxie. Jason tell Spinelli to go home right this instant, you have all your men, plus Bernie, and the PCPD working on this. He can have the night off." When Jason didn't immediately agree Carly turns her glare on him. "Jason!"
"Carly's right Spinelli." Jason says still reluctant. Bernie was good on a computer, but nobody could match Spinelli.
"Why don't you try saying it like you mean it?" Carly rolls her eyes at Jason before looking at Spinelli again. "What does Maxie think of you spending tonight apart?"
"Actually Valkyrie, my dear Maximista quite understands how imperative it is for the Jackal to help Stonecold and she in fact has joined her father and the misguided PCPD back at the station in hopes of word of findings on Fair Samantha. They are there now in fact diligently working to uncover what the Deceitful One is hiding."
"The Deceitful One..." Carly says confused and looks at Jason for answers, but it's obvious he doesn't know either. "Who is that?"
"Oh pardon, the Deceitful One is none other than Nurse Webber."
"Elizabeth? What has that sniveling excuse for a woman done now?" Carly seethes.
"Did Mac find evidence that her crash wasn't an accident?" Jason asks over Carly.
Spinelli looks at Jason when he answers. "The Jackal isn't sure of the specifics upon the Deceitful One's questioning, but it was apparent after the announcement of Fair Samantha's disappearance that something more sinister was underfoot and Nurse Webber was involved."
"What...what did he just say?" Sonny asks looking between Carly and Jason for clarification.
"Mac thinks Elizabeth ran her car into the building to create a diversion so Jerry could grab Sam." Jason says his shoulders tensing with every word.
"See now why couldn't you have just said that in the first place!" Sonny says shaking his head.
"Why would Elizabeth be helping Jerry?" Jason asks ignoring Sonny and staring intently at Spinelli.
"Because she is psychotic!" Carly huffs.
"Spinelli!" Jason barks to get the computer hackers attention back on him. "Why does Mac think Elizabeth is involved?"
"The Jackal is uncertain..." Spinelli starts to say when Sonny scoffs and stops abruptly. "My apologies Mr. Sir."
"Spinelli!" Jason says once again.
"I don't know what the commissioner discovered since I had already left the premises to retrieve my laptop, but Maximista called to let me know what had transpired while I was on my way here."
Having heard enough Jason picks up his jacket off the back of the couch and shrugs into before turning back to Spinelli. "Let's go."
"Where are we going Stonecold?" Spinelli asks following closely behind him out the door.
"Jason be careful!" Carly calls as the door slams loudly behind them.
"He will Carly." Sonny says picking back up the ignored drink from before and sipping from it slowly.
"Do you really think he'll be able to find Sam?" Carly asks in a more serious tone than she had used while Jason had been there.
"I don't know." Sonny answers honestly while frowning down into his glass. "But I certainly hate to find out what happens if he doesn't." He says before slamming back the rest of the drink and picking up the other glass.
Watching as Sonny proceeds to drink that in one gulp too Carly frowns and turns back to the empty doorway. "Yea, me too."
-JaSam-
Mac sat with his head in his hands and felt like pulling at the hair in his hands, but instead lifts his head to stare across the table. "Can you tell me again why you were anywhere near the reception hall tonight Nurse Webber?" He asks keeping his tone as neutral as possible, not wanting the woman to start screaming again.
"I already told you Mac." She snaps crossing her arms over her chest and sitting back in the chair with a sullen expression on her face.
"Yes, but your answer doesn't make any sense, not to mention you changed your story after I brought you in tonight. So maybe you will understand the necessity for me to ask you again now that I have read you your rights." When Elizabeth continues to sit in silence Mac sighs and rubs at his head again. "Elizabeth is there someone I can possibly call for you? Where is Lucky, maybe he should be here with you?" When she only scoffs Mac feels the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. "Elizabeth is everything alright at home between you and Lucky? Are the boys alright?"
"Everything is great at home with me and my boys Mac. They are healthy growing boys, they're perfect."
"And Lucky?" Mac presses. "You didn't mention how Lucky is doing at home."
Elizabeth just stares at the commissioner for a moment and hopes the panic she feels doesn't reflect on her face. What was she supposed to say? That Lucky had left her because she loved Jason and belonged with him? That certainly wouldn't look good considering the circumstances. No instead she would just have to try and lie until this all blew over. How long could Mac really keep her here? "He's fine."
Fine? Her and the boys were great and perfect, but Lucky was just fine? Mac didn't think so. "Elizabeth is there something…" Mac didn't get to finish whatever he was going to say because of the commotion being made outside the interrogation room. "What is going on out there?" He mutters to himself pushing up from the table. "Stay right there Elizabeth." He calls over his shoulder opening the door to look out in the precinct. "What is going on out here?"
"Jason is here." Maxie supplies helpfully since at his men are too busy staring down the hitman to answer him.
"I can see that Maxie, but why is he here?"
"I want to speak to Elizabeth." Jason says pushing his way through the group of officers, Spinelli following closely behind him and going to Maxie's side.
"No absolutely not Morgan, Elizabeth is here for police questioning for her car accident earlier this evening. You have no reason to speak with her."
"You think she might know something about Sam's disappearance I want to speak with her and find out if that's true."
"How do you know I think Elizabeth has any information on Ms. McCall's whereabouts?" Mac asks, but before anyone even speaks he turns to glare at Maxie.
"Sam is my friend of course I'm going to do whatever I think is necessary to make sure she's found safe!" Maxie immediately defends herself."And you know Jason could help you if you would let him…"
"Maxie!" Mac tries to interrupt her, but she won't let him and instead just talks louder.
"But you're just too stubborn to admit it!"
"Maxie he is a known mobster, I will not have him intimidate a witness right under my nose just because you want to find your friend."
"That's not right and you know it." Maxie shouts even louder and causing a bigger scene allowing Jason the chance to slip passed all the officers and into the interrogation room.
-JaSam-
"You bitch!" Sam fights against the ropes at her wrists, wishing she was free to attack Claudia. "You tried to take out an innocent little boy! For what?"
"Oh don't get your panties in a twist Michael wasn't my intended target that night at the warehouse, Sonny was. Ian Devlin was just a terrible shooter and deserves what he got for being so inept."
"You still had him shoot while Michael was in the warehouse. Don't you realize bullets can ricochet in those buildings?" Sam seethes sitting still once again since her wrists were starting to feel raw.
"Michael shouldn't have been there in the first place, it's not my fault Sonny is a complete moron when it comes to his children."
"Sonny loves his kids. You just wouldn't realize that because you're a heartless bitch!"
"Really? We're resorting to name calling now. Because if that's the case you're going to have to do much worse if you want to get under my skin. You need to realize heartless bitch in my home growing up was a term of endearment."
Sam just stared at the other woman for a minute and shook her head. "You really are crazy, aren't you?" She says at the same time a ringing starts coming from Claudia's pocket.
Pulling her phone out and looking down at the number Claudia smiles. "One moment, I gotta take this." And while Claudia turns her back to answer the call Sam starts working at her wrists once again. At this point her wrists are raw and slippery enough that she knows it's not just sweat that finally allows her to free one hand and then the other from the rope. Once her arms are loose Sam's first instinct is to groan in satisfaction as the tingling sensation runs up her arms, but she holds it back as she rises from the chair.
Tempted to attack Claudia while her back was turned out of anger Sam also resists that knowing that as hurt and sore as she is it wouldn't be a fair fight and it was best to just get out of there as fast as she could. Let Jason and Sonny deal with Claudia. Making her way to the door Sam was reaching for the chain that Claudia had set in place on the door when she knows she's been caught. Turning back around she notices first the gun that had been hanging at Claudia's side was now pointed directly at her head and then looking past that was Claudia smirking with the phone still to her ear. "I hear you, don't worry I'll be there shortly." Ending the call and returning the phone to her pocket Claudia shakes her head. "I got to hand it to you, you are full of surprises. I had one of daddies men tie those ropes and it looked like they were pretty tight, yet you still got yourself free."
"What can I say I'm just that good. And daddies man should be embarrassed, my little sister learned to tie a better knot when she was in girl scouts."
"I'll be sure to relay the message for you since you're not going to have the chance." The gun never wavering from Sam's head as she speaks.
Take a step away from the door and closer to Claudia Sam raises her hands in the air. "So what you're just going to shoot me now, here? That's going to leave quite a mess, not to mention one hell of a trail for Jason to follow." Sam takes another step closer as she talks. "Jason will be able to find out from the front desk who checked in and he'll realize it's not Jerry, and once he knows that it won't take him long to figure out it was you."
"I'm not too worried about Jason Morgan. He hasn't proven to be much of a challenge to me yet and once I'm through with you I'm out of this town for good." Claudia says with the gun still trained on Sam. "But you have a point." She says lowering the gun to her side.
"Smart choice." Releasing her first full breath since turning around Sam relaxes a little more. "But you can't expect me to go willingly?"
So I know what needs to happen next in this story, but having made the mistake and watching the show the last couple of weeks has totally messed with my mind! Wow! Can you say muse buster...so I am going to try and fight this struggle and finish this story!
