A/N – Thanks for the comments! * Wendi – That method doesn't fail every time nor do they plan on using every time. People can be careless when they are in the moment and no method is 100%. It has nothing to do with whether sex is good or not or whether it's a fic. Also, I have never implied that Jason was a slut, so no reason for you to go there. And wouldn't the same rules apply to her? Try not to judge characters without cause. * Guest – Pulling out is better than doing nothing. lol I already wrote something re: the bc. Thanks!

Have a great weekend guys! See you on Monday! NC-17

Chapter 11

Gabriel's head of security entered his room. "Sir, you need to leave now."

He groggily sat up. "Why?"

"They think you've double crossed them."

Gabriel frowned. "Why would I ever do something like that? How?"

"We think Julian did something. Look, from what I could gather, they got a message to your contacts that implied that you are trying to sell the technology elsewhere and they are pissed. We need to go underground now."

Gabriel's jaw clenched. Julian needs to die. "Tell the men that they need to find Julian and what do you have on Jason and Elizabeth?"

"We haven't found anything yet. They have disappeared. Will you please come with me now?"

Gabriel got up and threw on some clothes and then grabbed his computer.

"I already packed you a bag. It's in the truck." They were in one of his homes in Connecticut that no one knew about. It is very secure, so Gabriel is surprised that James feels it's necessary to move him. Someone needs to die so he'll feel a little better. He doesn't appreciate that his life is being interrupted.

They went outside and got in. There is another guard in the backseat.

"We'll head to Buffalo. There's a safe house there and then we'll go into Canada."

Gabriel shut his eyes. His world is crumbling around him and it makes him seethe. Fucking Ava is ruining him from the grave. She was the worst mistake he had ever made.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

The next morning, Jim and Doreen headed into town for breakfast. There is a diner that is a local meeting place and it is packed. They were seated and listened as others around them talked. It was the normal gossip and it didn't seem like anyone was discussing the missing couple or the extra police presence he had noticed.

Another trucker slid into the seat next him. "What's up?"

Jim smiled. "Nothing, it's just good being back for a few days."

The man frowned. "Aren't you going back out?"

"Not right away. My wife misses me and we're going to kick back for a few days before I venture out again."

It was a little odd, because Jim traveled a lot this time of year. As a driver, you want to take advantage of the good weather.

"Did you see that couple on the news?"

"No, but Kyle stopped by to ask Jim about them last night," Doreen said.

"They were last seen in New Jersey. I got stopped by some cops on my way back and they searched my cab. I've never had that happen before."

Jim shrugged. "I guess I got lucky and missed all of that."

"It set me back a few hours because of the traffic."

"That sucks. What time did you get in?"

"Not until ten. My wife was pissed because her dinner was ruined."

Doreen put her drink down. "How is Sheila?"

The man smiled. "She's great. She'll be here in a few." He got up. "I just saw Doug walk in. He owes me some money, so I'll talk you later."

Jim looked over at his wife and they exchanged a knowing glance. It would be dangerous for them to leave. The police are probably expecting them to cross into Canada here or in Michigan. They ate and said hello to a few people and then left.

"We'll check up on them later. It's important that we do normal things. I just have this bad feeling that we're being watched by Kyle."

"There was a guy walking his dog this morning that I have never seen before," Doreen said.

"They'll be low key about it. Maybe they think we're being held against our will."

"Well, showing up at the diner probably helped quell their suspicion then." There are a few cops sitting on the other side of the restaurant.

Jim sighed. This is a shit show. "We'll have dinner with them in the shelter and then go from there."

"We should stop at the drugstore."

"Why?"

"They might need some things. There's not a lot to do down there and those two are on the brink of taking it further. I'm sure they didn't come prepared."

Jim smirked. They are both matchmakers. "You're forgetting one thing. You can't buy them something like that. Everyone knows."

Doreen cringed. Everyone in town did know that they couldn't have kids, so there would be no reason to buy any form of birth control. "I can say it's a gag gift for one of my friends. They won't question that." Her group of friends are known for messing with each other.

"True." He turned down a street and then another before reaching the pharmacy.

They walked inside and are greeted by the cashier.

Jim grabbed a box. "Hopefully, these will do."

She took it from him and put it back and got a different one.

"I'm not sure I want to know why you think that's his size."

Doreen cracked up. "It's called a woman's intuition."

"Or wishful thinking…"

She continued around the corner and picked up a few more things and then they moved to the counter. "Clarice, you have to promise me that you won't tell a soul what I'm about to buy. It's a gag gift and I don't want her finding out. It will ruin everything."

Clarice grinned. "They won't hear it for me. I'm good at keeping secrets." She knows everyone's business from working there and is always discreet. "You just have to promise me that once it goes down, you'll come in and tell me all about it."

Doreen smiled. "I promise." She placed the box of condoms on the counter and Clarice laughed.

"This is going to be a good gag. I can already tell."

"You have no idea."

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Elizabeth and Jason made love again and then took a quick shower. They cleaned up their clothes that were scattered around the room and then ate some breakfast which consisted of frozen waffles and some juice from frozen concentrate.

"I've never been in a place like this," Liz said.

"It must have cost him a lot."

She looked around. "I think they used thrift shops for the furniture. Doreen seems like she would be good at shopping bargains. I'm just shocked that they were able to do it with no one finding out."

"Jim mentioned something about a construction background before he got into trucking. He probably slowly bought the materials so no one would know or purchased them on his trips." The couple is very smart. Jason isn't into the whole survivalist movement, but he understands. It is kind of like a large panic room. With the canned and frozen food and water supply, they probably could live down here for quite a while. Jim had some hot plates that were rigged to work with batteries, a generator, and a lot of other things. It looked like he had dug out a huge ditch and then put a big container into the ground. He is going to have to ask him about the details.

"They'll probably come down later. You still have to get your hair done," Elizabeth said.

Jason groaned. "I forgot about that."

She grew silent for a few minutes. "I wonder how Nathan is." She missed him and Ric.

"Yeah, I was thinking about that. I hope he's awake and they are safe."

"Me too."

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Sonny waited for the door to the safe house to open before going inside.

"They are in the bedroom," a guard said.

Sonny moved inside and Brenda and Ric looked up at him. "Hey."

She hugged him. "How are you?"

"I'm good."

Ric got up and embraced his brother.

"How's he doing?" Sonny asked as he looked at Nathan who is sleeping. There are machines monitoring him set up in the room.

"He is out of the coma, but he sleeps a lot. The doctor said it was normal given the trauma he suffered. His leg was broken, but it's healing. There is lots of bruising and some internal damage they fixed during surgery. If everything heals properly, they said he should be okay," Ric said somberly. Nathan is a big bruise right now, but that will eventually go away.

"I'm sorry. Did they find the person who hit him?"

Ric nodded. "Yes. We got word back earlier. It was some guy who was on parole. They don't think it has anything to do with Gabriel. He was using his phone and was distracted and didn't see Nathan until it was too late and then he panicked and took off."

"Are Jason and Liz safe?" Brenda asked.

"We haven't heard back for a while, but the last time he was in communication he sent a code word to let us know they were."

"I've been so worried about them."

"You can stay here as long as you like. Even if Gabriel wasn't responsible, he was at your apartment and I don't feel like it's safe to go back there yet. Scott will make sure that you are taken care of. Once Nathan can be moved and Gabriel is gone, I'll have you transported back," Sonny said. Scott is one of the guards.

Brenda really misses her business. Felix is taking care of it, but she hates putting all that pressure on him, although she is glad that she can be there for Ric. He was a hot mess before he knew that Nathan would be fine.

"Does he have insurance?" Sonny asked.

"Yes."

"Well if something isn't covered, you let me know."

Ric is touched. When it first came out that they were brothers, it had been hard for Sonny to accept him and just when they had come to a turning point and were getting along, Ric dropped the bomb on him that he is gay. Sonny was shocked and didn't quite know how to handle it. In his business, homosexuality is frowned upon. After thinking it over and discussing it with a few people, he decides that family is more important and supported Ric. Nathan is a good guy and he knows he won't take advantage of his brother.

Brenda watched him leave and then sat next to Ric and took his hand. This had been hard on him.

"I know he said Jason and Liz are okay, but I need to see that with my own eyes."

"Jason will protect her with his life."

"You think they've hooked up yet?"

Brenda grinned. "I hope so. Jason better seal the deal."

"If he doesn't, I might have to put a hit out on him."

She laughed. "I'll do it."

Ric squeezed her hand. He didn't think he would have gotten through almost losing Nathan without her. For that, he is very thankful.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Jim held a piece of paper up in front of a camera and Jason read it. "They are coming in." He jumped up and ran to the door and unlocked it. When it started to open, he pulled it and Jim walked past him.

"You two hanging in there?" he asked.

Doreen handed Jason a bowl and then grabbed another one and headed inside. She is also carrying a small paper bag.

"Yeah."

Elizabeth helped Doreen lay out some paper plates and put some napkins and plastic utensils out.

"I hope you like tacos."

"Love them," Liz said.

She put a couple on every plate and then uncovered some salsa. The chips are already in a bowl. Jim handed Jason and the girls a beer and they dug in.

"Good," Jason said before taking another bite.

"Doreen is an excellent cook," Jim said.

They enjoyed the meal and then kicked back.

"So, what happened in town?" Jason asked.

"Mostly, it was quiet. There were some more cops patrolling and another driver told me he had gotten stopped and searched on the interstate."

Jason swallowed a sip of beer. "So, they were looking for us."

"Yup."

"We don't live that far from here. I'm pretty sure they are trying to prevent a mob war."

"I took a few days off. I feel like I just need to be here. I don't have a good feeling about all of this."

Jason sighed.

"Don't even say it Jason. You're not leaving, at least not right now."

Doreen touched Jason's hand and gave it a squeeze. "You're stuck with us, so just deal with it."

"Thank you," Jason said quietly.

"And don't think I didn't forget about that hair."

Liz chuckled.

"Darn."

Jim grinned. "My girl will take care of you. Every time I look at you, I think you're going to say the word dude."

"I don't think I've ever said that word."

"See. It's all wrong. She'll hook you up."

Jason shook his head and then shocking them, he reached over and held Liz's hand.

Doreen was grinning from ear to ear. "So, I'm going to take that as a very good sign."

Liz chuckled. "We're good."

"I'll bet."

Jim almost choked on his beer, making them laugh. "Now honey, what happens in the shelter, stays in the shelter."

"I didn't ask for any details."

He gave her a quick peck. "Instigator..."

They chatted for a while and then Jim and Doreen gathered the dishes and headed out.

"Alright, I'll see you two in the morning."

Liz followed them and after Jim went into the other room, Doreen turned around. "I left you something in the paper bag on the table. Call it wishful thinking, but I hope I was right."

"Okay."

"You can thank me later."

Liz looked at her curiously and then locked the door. When she walked back into the living room area Jason saw her perplexed look and frowned. "What's wrong?"

She grabbed the bag and opened it, gasping and then breaking out into a fit of laughter.

Jason took it from her and his mouth dropped open.

"Is that the right size?"

"Yeah."

She busted out laughing again, making him smile. "She is just too much."

"I won't be able to look at her tomorrow."

"I don't think you'll care after I'm finished with you."

His eyes narrowed. "Is that right?"

She winked and then got up and went into the bedroom area, quickly taking off her clothes. She dangled her bra through the curtains and before she could pull it back, Jason was on her, making her scream and laugh. He threw her down on the bed and then took off his shirt. "Teasing comes with consequences."

She bit her lip as she stared at his. "Really?"

He nodded.

"I'm prepared to take my punishment."

He grinned. "I'm sure you are. I'm going to go watch the monitors," he said turning around and leaving as a stunned Liz laid there with her mouth open before making a face and then sliding off the bed. She ran into the other room and Jason is standing next to the table wearing nothing but a smile.

"Who is being a tease now?" she asked before folding her arms across her chest.

"Don't pout."

She sauntered towards him and then kissed his chest, taking her time sucking on his sensitive nipples before suddenly dropping to her knees. He hissed as she gripped him and then her plump lips hovered over his head making his heart beat a mile a minute. Suddenly, she stood and walked into the bedroom and Jason growled, grabbed the condom box, and raced behind her.

Liz squealed and jumped onto the bed and he covered her with his body.

"That was low."

"That will teach you to tease me."

He attacked her mouth, kissing her roughly as he plundered it. When she tried to reach down and touch him, he grabbed her wrists and pinned them to the bed as he began to grind his hips. She whimpered when he suddenly pulled back and growled, "On your knees."

Elizabeth rolled over and got on her knees as Jason put the condom on and waited. When he finally slid into her center, Liz's arms almost gave out. He filled her over and over until she couldn't take it anymore and screamed his name, begging for release. Jason began to sweat as he methodically drilled into her. Forcing her flatter, he reached between her body and the bed and found her clit. She swore into the pillow as he swiveled his hips and finally, her body trembled as she went over the edge, taking Jason with her.

After a few minutes, she started to chuckle. "I don't think I can walk."

He grinned against her back. "Then I'll carry you."

"You can't carry me everywhere."

"Watch me."

He got up to dispose of the condom and then spooned her. "Perfect," he said as he snuggled against her.

She sighed with contentment. "I miss my dad and my job, but I think I'm really going to miss being with you all the time."

"Then don't leave. Stay in Port Charles for a while."

"I have to open the gallery, so that was the plan." She grew quiet and he felt a change in her breathing.

"Elizabeth?"

She turned into him and clung to his body. "I don't want to give you up."

"We'll figure it out." He didn't want to think about her not being around either. "We have time."

She relaxed against him, having no other choice but to trust him and let his heartbeat lull her to sleep.
