Chapter 61

He'd been set up. His father would be so disappointed in him. Luke always said that if something was too easy then that was the time to look for the double cross. Not once did he ask for any kind of proof that Karpov had been sent by his father. Nope, he just took the man at his word and now look where he was. Tied to a chair in a warehouse. Lucky knew he was in a lot of trouble. He was guessing that the building belonged to Jason.

"HEY!" He shouted. They must not care about being overheard because he wasn't gagged. "HEY!"

"Shut up!" Cody said coming out of the office.

"Where the fuck is Morgan?" Lucky recognized Paul. "Call him up and tell him to get his ass over here. He should bring that tramp he married with him."

Cody just laughed. "Do you really think you are in a position to give orders?"

"You think I'm afraid of you? I'm not." Lucky sneered.

"I could care less if you're afraid of me." Cody crossed his arms over his chest. "It's Jason that you need to worry about. He's pissed. And the man can be rabid dog mean when he's pissed off."

"Fuck him and fuck you too!" Lucky spat out.

"You're not my type or Jason's for that matter. He's into short brunettes." Cody wouldn't normally talk about Mrs. Morgan to a prisoner but pushing Lucky's buttons was fun. If Jason had a problem with anything the guard said he would speak on it.

"I want some water." Lucky told the guard.

"I want to go home. Want to guess who's going to get their wish first?" Cody's shift was almost over. He was planning on going home and grabbing some sleep since he was taking Leyla out tonight.

"ASSHOLE!" Lucky shouted at the guard as he walked away. There had to be a way out of this. Every situation had a solution. He'd been clean for almost six weeks so his thinking was much clearer, unfortunately six weeks wasn't enough time to clear his system of the need for the drugs. He was craving a pill.

Every morning with breakfast Lucky got a synthetic drug to help him with the withdrawal symptoms. When he first started they were really bad. Pain, cramping, vomiting and tremors. The dose was lower now but he still needed the fix to get through the day. Even though he couldn't see outside he was guessing by his body's reaction it was time for a pill. Today one wouldn't be coming. Today was going to hurt before Morgan even got started.

Back in the office Cody picked up the phone and called his boss. "He's up."

"Coherent?" Jason asked as he scrambled eggs. Cam would be down for breakfast shortly. Elizabeth had agreed to stay in bed a little longer. Last night had indeed been rough. They'd had a return of the nightmares only these weren't about losing the baby. These were about that horrific night when a fifteen year old girl had been brutalized. All he could do was hold her and he was looking forward to taking that frustration out on Lucky.

"Yup and belligerent as well." Cody said laughing. "He demanded that you get your ass down here."

"I think that once I show up he's not going to be all that happy to see me." Jason said plating his son's breakfast. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Spinelli shuffle into the kitchen.

"I don't know he seems a good candidate for the head of your fan club." Cody said grinning. "He called your wife a tramp."

"Is that right?" Jason said in a tone that would make someone think he'd just heard something interesting. He was glad Lucky was somewhat clean, Jason wanted the man to hurt. "I will be sure to let him know what I think about that when I arrive. Marco is relieving you in about an hour. You'll get double time since last night was a holiday." So would Max and Milo.

"Thanks, Jason." Cody had been waiting at the warehouse when the brothers arrived. Since his girl was working he hadn't gotten any flack for being out last night.

"You're welcome. I have to go." Jason said ending the call.

"Salutations Stone Cold." Spinelli said reaching for his favorite over sugared cereal.

"That stuff is going to rot your teeth." Jason said shaking his head. He had no idea why Elizabeth bought that stuff for Spinelli. As long as Cameron didn't eat it Jason would allow it in the house.

"I didn't have any cavities on my last dental check up." Spinelli said proudly. "Hey Little Dude." He gave Cam a high-five as he walked over to the table.

"When was that?" Jason asked pouring his son a glass of milk.

"Last month. The Maternal One booked an appointment for me." Spinelli had gotten a physical as well. Elizabeth also insisted he take a daily vitamin.

"Did she now." Jason just smiled. Elizabeth was spoiling Spinelli and the hacker was soaking it up.

"The Maternal One is quite good to The Jackal. But I draw the line at running." Spinelli said shuddering. He burned off all his calories due to his naturally hyper state.

"Hey buddy." Jason said turning his attention to his son. "You see Momma before you come downstairs."

"Her still sleepin." The little boy told his dad. "I touched her tummy."

"Were you careful?" Jason had told Cam that they needed to be gentle with Elizabeth.

"Uh-huh." Cam told his dad. "The baby moved."

"He does that a lot." Jason said smiling.

"Stone Cold will The Jackal and the Little Dude be hiding in the man cave during the Feminine Festivities?" There was a baby shower planned at the house for Elizabeth in two weeks. Jason was thinking of scheduling Milo to work.

"We are all going to Sonny's. Emily said that there can't be any men in the house at all." Jason didn't understand why he couldn't be there but was smart enough not to argue.

Cam was done. "Go brush your teeth." Jason told his son.

"Kay." Cam ran from the room just as Rory walked in.

Since the guard was here Jason fixed a tray for him and Elizabeth and took it upstairs. He walked through the door just as his wife woke up. "Hey baby. How are you feeling?"

"Better." She would probably take a long nap this afternoon.

"Good." Jason put the tray across her legs. He made fruit and cottage cheese for her and coffee for him. "I have to go out later today, but Max is coming over."

"Alright. I'm going to be in my studio most of the day anyway." Elizabeth had been painting a lot lately.

"Cam said he was in earlier and you were sleeping." Jason told her.

"I woke up when he touched my belly. He was talking to the baby." Elizabeth had teared up listening to him. "He told him he could borrow his bike."

"Yeah." Cam was a great kid, and would be an awesome big brother. "You did great with him. I couldn't ask for a better mother for my children."

"My kids have the best dad in the world." Elizabeth leaned over and gave him a quick kiss. "How many kids are we talking?"

"As many as you want." Jason told her.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes. "Give me a number Jason."

"I don't have to carry them. I just have to help make them." He told her with a lecherous grin. "We only have to wait six weeks right?" He was of course kidding.

"How many?" Elizabeth said ignoring his last question.

"Eight." Jason told her.

"You want eight children?" Elizabeth said looking to see if he was joking. She could usually read her husband but sometimes she had a hard time telling if he was joking or not.

"We only need six more." He sipped his coffee to hide his grin. He was just messing with her, and she would see that he paid for it.

Elizabeth gave it some thought. "Okay."

Jason choked on his coffee. "Okay?"

"It's not like we can't afford them." She knew he was joking and two could play at this game. "Besides the more children we have the better my odds are of getting a girl." She watched her husband pale.

"No girls." He'd be in jail before she started school.

Elizabeth laughed. "You don't get a whole lot of say in the matter." She pointed out.

"Two is good. We should stop at two." Jason didn't think he could handle having a daughter.

"I was thinking four." Elizabeth said smiling.

"That sounds good." Jason said agreeing. All boys. "I need to get dressed. I have to go to the warehouse." He had some trash to deal with.

"Good morning." Lorenzo put his coffee cup down and stood as Skye entered the room.

"Morning." She sat in the chair he pulled out. "I didn't mean to sleep so late. Have I delayed your morning?"

"Not at all. What would you like for breakfast?" Lorenzo said smiling.

"Just coffee is fine." Skye was trying not to blush. This was the first time in a long while that she'd woken up in a bed other than her own. The fact that they'd had sex, really good sex, last night wasn't what was making her have trouble meeting Lorenzo's eyes. It was that they had sex on their first date. She wasn't pretending to be a virgin but she could have made him work a little harder.

After getting dumped by both Luke and Jax, Skye told herself she was going to be more discriminate. She wasn't going to just fall into bed with the next man who made her pulse race. She wanted a man who was going to appreciate and respect her. Someone who treated her the way she deserved. Sex on the first date didn't set that standard.

"Are you sure?" Lorenzo could tell Skye was uncomfortable, but he didn't know why.

"I am thank you. Actually I should probably get going." She stood and so did he. They walked out of the house.

"I had a wonderful time last night. I'd like to see you again." Lorenzo said when they were standing beside her car. "I'll call you."

Skye nodded trying to hold onto her pride. There they were, the famous last words. "I'll wait for your call." A call that wasn't ever going to come because he'd already gotten what he wanted. She let him kiss her before getting in her car and starting the engine.

"Skye?" Emily was coming in from a shift at the hospital. She'd parked her car in the garage and was walking to the house when she noticed her sister hunched over.

"Hi." The redhead said trying to hide the fact that she'd been sitting in her car crying.

"What's wrong?" Emily asked after she'd gotten into the passenger seat.

"I'm an idiot." Skye said wiping her eyes.

"No you're not." Emily said reaching for the older woman's hand. "Tell me what's wrong."

"I slept with Lorenzo last night." Skye told the younger woman.

"Was it bad?" Emily hadn't ever had sex so bad it made her want to cry.

"Not even close. It was pretty fantastic. It was our first date. One kiss and I was ripping my clothes off. I can't even imagine what he thinks of me now." Skye said squeezing her sister's hand. "I really liked him."

"Why are you talking about the relationship like it's over? He seems to really like you." Emily felt like she was missing something.

"Men like Lorenzo are used to having a different woman in their bed every night. I had my turn." Skye would just do better from here on out. "I'm sure he's already moved on."

"You don't know that." Emily told her sister.

"I've been on this train before. I'll be fine." Skye said squaring her shoulders. "Are you coming in from work?"

"Just now." Emily confirmed. She was going to nap and then met Dante for lunch.

"I won't hold you up then. I'll be fine." Skye assured her as they got out of the car. "Thanks for listening."

"Any time." Emily watched her sister walk into the house. As she walked down to the Gatehouse the young doctor pulled out her phone. "Hi there. How are you feeling?"

"I'm good, how about you?" Elizabeth asked her friend.

"I have a lunch date with a hot lawyer later so I'm fantastic. Skye however is not." Emily recounted the conversation.

"Let me look into things. I'm hoping my brother is not that stupid." Elizabeth knew how much a misunderstanding could cost a relationship.

"Skye is convinced he is. Apparently the last thing he said was I'll call you." Emily said as she let herself into her home.

"Ouch." Elizabeth winced. "Let me call him."

"Thanks." Emily said to Elizabeth before hanging up. Hopefully Skye was wrong. Emily really wanted her sister to be happy.
