Here is the second update that was promised. SweetySJS told me something today that totally blew me away. So tomorrow there will be two updates as well.

Chapter 10

Ric slammed the door to his office pissed off after being ripped apart by Diane Miller. If he was going to get to Elizabeth he would need help. Sure Sam would provide a bit of a distraction but she wasn't as alluring as she suspected. Ric hadn't intended to sleep with her, but now that he had he knew that Jason wouldn't ever take her back. If only that would work in Elizabeth's case. Jason had not only forgiven the beautiful brunette for marrying him twice, but blamed Ric for using his ex-wife as a pawn. Nothing could be further from the truth. He actually loved Elizabeth.

Sitting behind his desk he gave his current problems some thought. He needed to find out who knew he slept with Sam and keep them quiet until Alexis died. The doctors had told him today that his wife was not responding to the treatments. They were suggesting he look into home care or hospice if they would rather go that route. Even if she started improving he intended to make sure she died. As a widower with a small child he was sure to tug on the soft heart of his former spouse. If nothing else she would come to offer her sympathy. All he needed was an opening.

Of course that still didn't get Jason Morgan out of the picture. He could simply wait it was only a matter of time before the man killed someone. But that didn't guarantee results. Jason hadn't spent a single night behind bars since retaining Diane Miller as his lawyer. Even if they found a charge that stuck she would most likely get him acquitted.

What Ric needed was someone to remove Jason all together. Just because he was on the legal side of things these days didn't mean Ric had cut all ties to the underworld. For one there was his brother Sonny but he wouldn't help with this problem. Also there was his father Trevor who was the lawyer for the Zacharra family. He could ask his father for some assistance.

Or Ric could use an existing situation to his advantage. The lawyer put his feet up on his desk and closed his eyes as he formed a plan. There was tension right now between the Alcazar organization and the Corinthos Morgan organization. He heard from some of his sources that the South American wanted revenge for his brother's death. If he could get Lorenzo to help him, then Jason could be taken care of once and for all.

Jason's greatest weakness right now was Elizabeth herself. If Alcazar pushed hard enough Jason was sure to snap. Of course Ric would make it clear that Elizabeth was not to be harmed. With Jason out of the way Sonny would topple.

Ric could have the family he wanted, the family he deserved. Elizabeth was going to be his. The acting D.A. smiled as he got to his feet. He needed to set up a meeting. The sooner they got started, the sooner he would have what he wanted.

Lucky had gotten a call from Cruz telling him that his wife was at the police station signing her statement against him. While he wasn't stupid enough to approach her while she was inside once she walked out he could grab her. They needed to have a talk, a long talk and by the end of their conversation he expected her to understand what a wife's role was. He was going to be the bigger person and forgive her for being Morgan's whore. Popping another pill into his mouth he waited until his system relaxed as the drug took effect. He was running low and would need to see his dealer. Now that Maxie was under lock and key at her father's house he was forced to get his own drugs.

When Elizabeth appeared at the top of the steps Lucky smirked and almost stepped out of the car he took from the impound lot. His slow reflexes saved him from making a deadly mistake. Right after he saw her he saw the two men that were with her. It looked like Morgan had assigned her some guards. As he watched they got in a large SUV and pulled off. Waiting a few minutes he pulled out from his parking space and followed. If nothing else he would learn where she was staying. There wasn't a lock Luke Spencer couldn't pick and he made sure to teach his Cowboy everything he knew. He'd get to her one way or another.

Elizabeth and Diane were discussing the upcoming Chloe Morgan fall collection when the redhead noticed Johnny miss a turn. "Mr. O'Brien I hate to be a backseat driver, but you missed your turn." She'd picked up that he and Francis had been once lived here and had for some reason moved away.

"He didn't miss the turn." Elizabeth told the older woman knowing that neither of the men up front would answer. They weren't being rude they were just focused on other things. "We are being followed."

"How do you know?" In the mirror Diane saw Francis smile when Elizabeth spoke.

"Johnny never drives this slowly. He's making sure whoever is following us doesn't lose us before back up arrives." Elizabeth may not know all the rules but Johnny had taught her how to spot, lose and not lose a tail. Still she hadn't been looking so she hadn't spotted the fact that we are being followed.

Diane sat back making sure to keep her eyes front. "So we just drive around?" She did have other things to do today.

"Just until another car picks up whoever is following us. Then we go home and when they leave they get followed." Elizabeth explained. She was only a little scared. She trusted Frannie and OB with her life. They would make sure she got back to her son safely. "Don't worry the cars are bullet proof." Elizabeth threw in and watched as the lawyer's face lost all its color.

"I seriously doubt anyone is going to be shooting at us." Francis told the lawyer hoping she didn't pass out.

"I hope not. Bullet holes would ruin the line of this jacket." Diane said regaining her composure. If Elizabeth could be calm then so could she. However there was a very large martini in her future.

"Okay." Francis said to Johnny who instantly put his foot on the gas. Three turns later they shook the tail. Ten minutes later they pulled into the underground garage of the Towers.

"You still got it Johnny." Elizabeth said to her old friend.

"When you're as good as I am you never lose it." The Irishman said without the slightest hint of sarcasm. "So ladies shall we go upstairs?"

"SHIT!" Lucky shouted hitting the steering wheel. How had a managed to lose a vehicle that large? One minute the SUV had been in front of him and one turn later it was gone. Like it vanished into thin air. He still had no idea where his faithless bitch of a wife was staying. Now his best chance of getting to her was at the hospital. While there were a lot of places to hide, Lucky didn't think he would be able to get her out of the building unnoticed.

Of course she would be most vulnerable going into and leaving the building. Even with her guards that would be the best time to grab her. They were big, but even they could be taken out with a bullet. His father kept several handguns in the safe at the Haunted Star. Right now it was closed because his dad was off on one of his adventures so Lucky would swing by and help himself. He'd also pick up some spending money since his reserves were running low.

As he turned toward the floating casino he didn't notice the sedan that followed. After getting the items he was seeking Lucky drove to Cortland Street. Parking he walked three blocks over to an innocent looking bookstore. Twenty minutes later he walked out with one hundred little white pills which should be enough to hold him over for a few days. Hopefully by then Maxie could come see him. He would pay for drugs but he'd be damned if he paid for sex.

Back in the car he drove to the place he was staying, congratulating himself on his brilliance. No one would look for him here. No one had any reason to suspect that he would come here. After all he and the owner didn't even know one another. Not really, he had arrested the lovely Sam McCall on more than one occasion, but that was the extent of their interaction. They weren't friends and they didn't spend time together socially. So why would anyone think of looking for him on her salvage boat.

Sam didn't even come here anymore. She lived with her mother now that Jason had tossed her out. Eventually she might return, after all she was going to run out of money at some point, but by then he should be long gone. By then his lovely wife should know her place and he'd be back in his apartment.

Lucky stumbled from the car and boarded the boat going below deck. His head was starting to hurt again. He'd take a nap before heading over to Audrey's house. He wanted to see if the older woman had talked with her granddaughter. Right now she was his best hope of getting Elizabeth to drop all the charges against him. As his eyes drifted shut Lucky told himself that everything would work out fine. After all he was a Spencer and they always got what they wanted in the end.

Max looked at Cody in complete and utter disgust. If they had to spend their time following this loser around the least he could do was make it challenging for them. When Francis called to say that they had a tail they had not been surprised. Jason expected Lucky to try to get to Ms. Webber at the police station. It was the obvious move.

They'd easily spotted him driving right behind Johnny. You never drove that close to the car you were tailing. They'd followed him around and had been surprised when they reached their final destination. It was the only smart thing the man had done all day. "You want to call?" Max asked the other guard.

"Not on your life. You're the senior guard you call Jason." He was not going to be pleased at what they had to report.

Max grumbled but he pulled out his phone.

"Morgan." Jason answered on the first ring.

"Boss, Lucky is staying on Ms. McCall's salvage boat." The big man reported. "He also has a gun now."

"Is Sam there?" Jason was surprised at what Max was reporting. Sam and Lucky was not a connection he would have made. Lucky didn't worry him, but Sam could be dangerous.

"No sign of her at the moment." Max told his boss. "You want us to wait?"

"I'm sending four more guys to keep watch. Tell them what to do and make sure they don't fuck it up." Jason would select the men himself. "I want to know how Sam is involved with Lucky."

"Sure thing," Max hung up and told Cody what was happening. "Ms. McCall must really be pissed to hook up with Lucky."

"Pissed, stupid and desperate." Cody told the other man. "She has to know that Lucky is on Jason's kill list for what he did to Ms. Webber." News of the petite brunette's divorce had spread quickly. Already the name change was in effect. Cody had only met her once before she moved into the Towers. He had been in the hospital getting his appendix out, but she had been really nice to him. She even snuck him extra Jell-O because he was one of Jason's guys.

Jason was a good guy and a great boss. Cody was happy to see him with a nice lady for a change. Even Sonny was rooting for them and that said a lot. Every man who worked for the organization was pissed that Ms. Webber had been beaten up, they would make sure the idiot she had been married to didn't get a chance to hurt her or her little boy again.

Thank you for the reviews,the follows and the favorite!
