Chapter 8

Wrapped around one another they were finally able to sleep. Jason woke up first and took some time to simply watch the woman in his arms. When the urge to touch her became too strong to resist he slipped from the bed to grab a shower. An hour later Elle came out dressed and hungry for breakfast. Jason suggested they go out but she asked if they could stay in.

She had some things she wanted to ask him and Elizabeth knew he wouldn't want to discuss them in public. He might not want to discuss them all and if that was the case she would respect his wishes. "Jason, can I ask you something?"

He looked over a saw her chewing her lower lip. "What's up?" She was nervous so he figured it was about last night but it wasn't.

"Are you still working for Sonny?" That wasn't what she planned to ask first, but it was what came out.

"No. I quit before we left." Jason pushed his chair back and urged her on to his lap. When she came over he wrapped her up close and rested his chin on the top of her head. "I sold him my share of the business after I realized that I don't trust him anymore. Not after he slept with Carly."

"Do you still love her?" Elizabeth asked him, this was what she really wanted to know. She was never really clear on Jason's relationship with the annoying blonde. He could love her and Carly both, at one point she had loved him and Lucky both. At the time she thought Lucky was dead but she had still loved them both.

"I never loved her. It was never anything more than sex." He honestly told her. "I was more hurt that Sonny slept with her, than with her sleeping with Sonny. Does that make any sense?"

Nodding she answered. "Sonny was your family. The one you thought would never betray you. You never really trusted Carly did you?" She asked turning her face into his neck.

"No. I trust you. I would have moved on from Carly eventually." It made him sound like a dog, but it was the truth. "Anything else?" He asked with a half grin.

"No. I'm not trying to be a pain. I was just curious." She said looking up. He really did have the most beautiful eyes.

"It's okay to ask me questions. If I can't answer it I'll tell you. You should know that just because I left Sonny's organization doesn't mean that I don't still have enemies I do. But I'll always do everything in my power to protect you. I promise you that." Jason wanted her to know that she was the most important person in his life.

"I know. I trust you." She leaned up and gave him a quick kiss. Or what was supposed to be a quick kiss. When his tongue swept across her lower lip she immediately opened for him. They took their time just sinking into the slowly emerging passion. "Every time you kiss me it's better than the time before." She said when he pulled away.

"What we have is getting stronger, you feel it too right?" Jason couldn't imagine living his life without Elizabeth beside him. He would need to find a way to make her understand that. Understand just how deep his feelings for her went.

"I do." Elizabeth told him. "I've never felt anything like it in my life." She said looking up at him.

"Does it still scare you?" He remembered her saying that in the park.

"I'm scared it will stop." She admitted softly.

"It won't." Jason promised her. "I don't think even death could break a bond this strong."

She wrapped her arms around him and listened to his heartbeat. It was on the tip of her tongue to tell him that she loved him, but at the last minute she stopped. It wasn't time. She wasn't ready, but she believed that Jason was right. That the bond they shared would never be broken.

"Let's go out and see more of Nova Scotia." He wanted to tell her that he loved her, but wasn't sure she was ready to hear it. So much had changed for her so fast, and to be honest things were still changing. He promised to protect her and that included protecting her from him. He wanted everything from her but that didn't give him the right to push. She was blossoming into a woman and he would not rush that.

"Okay. Let me get my things." Elizabeth said getting up to go get ready.

They had a great day and after dinner took the ferry back to PEI. After showering they planned the next day's activities. He was taking her to some museums. They stretched out in bed and Jason put his self-control to the test by sharing a few kisses with her. It was hard to stop but somehow he did before urging her to spoon up. After watching her for a bit he finally went to sleep.

"Morgan." Jason answered the phone instantly alert. The clock revealed it was just past midnight.

"What's in Worthington, OH?" Francis asked his friend.

"My bike." Jason responded getting out of bed and pulling on clothes. It wasn't even a conscious action on his part, something inside him was screaming they had to go. "I had it picked up from Port Charles the morning after we left. I sent it in for maintenance and secure storage. I was hoping at some point to have it shipped to us." The shop in Ohio was where the bike was custom built. Since the owner didn't know him as Jason Morgan there was no worry of being found. "Why are you asking?"

"Luke just jumped bail heading there." Francis told his boss.

"Shit." Jason said as he pulled on his boots. "That is not a coincidence. How did they know?" Jason asked pacing.

"He met up with Carly tonight. Who by the way has been spending a lot of time lately with your sister." Francis had almost fallen out of his chair when he heard that one. Last he heard the two women couldn't stand one another.

"Shit." Jason repeated. "What else has my 'best friend' been up to?" He was guessing that there was a tracking device somewhere on the bike. With the motorcycle stationery for more than two days Carly must have figured that they are staying for a while. That was fine, let her think they were there.

"She keeps ditching her guards, so I can't fully answer that one. The only reason we know about the trip is because we heard Emily talking to Lucky." They paid a staff member at the hospital to keep an eye on Lucky. He couldn't eavesdrop on all of Lucky's conversation but he had heard this one. "There is something odd about the relationship between Lucky and your sister. Nikolas is also planning a trip but I don't know to where. It might be time for the two of you to leave." The older guard warned his friend.

"Yeah, I'll set everything up from here. If anything happens while we are out of contact leave a message with our friend." Jason could have everything he needed done within the hour. "The three guys I have in Port Charles know to follow any orders you give them. Be careful Francis, Carly is dangerous because she never thinks things through before she sets them in motion."

"I was thinking that maybe if she had a distraction it might make her slip up." Having spent more time with Carly than he ever wanted to, he knew what her weaknesses were. He knew exactly what to do to keep her busy. She was banking on becoming Mrs. Sonny Corinthos since it now appeared she wouldn't be Mrs. Jason Morgan. Although from what he had seen if Jason came back tomorrow Carly would drop Sonny like a bad habit.

"Like what?" Jason asked wanting to know what would be happening.

"What if she had a rival for Sonny's affection?" The older mob boss had a weakness for women. "Let me look into things and I'll keep you informed." Francis said thinking out loud. Competition was closer than Carly knew.

"Watch your back." Jason warned the guard. Francis was his friend and he didn't want anything to happen to him.

"Same goes for you, and keep Liz safe." The older guard said ending the call. He had a few things to look into and a plan to set in motion.

The first call was to the man who had taken Jason's bike to Ohio. He was informed that company was headed his way. For now Jason just wanted Luke watched. It would take the older man a few days to realize that neither Jason nor Elizabeth were there. With him out of town and Lucky contained that just left Carly, but Jason didn't want to make a move yet until he knew exactly what she had planned. He was missing something and he didn't like that.

After making two more calls Jason went to wake up Elizabeth. "Baby." He said shaking her gently. Waking up was not something his girl did well.

"What." She said sitting up. "What's wrong?"

"We need to leave." Jason told her.

Instantly she was up and moving. "Should I pack or do we not have time?"

"Pack, quickly and don't leave anything behind." He instructed going to door and stepping out into the hall to speak with the men who he had trailing them. Once they had their instructions they left as quietly as they had arrived.

"I'm ready." Elizabeth was waiting. "I checked the room twice to make sure we had everything." For the first time since leaving she was scared, but she trusted Jason with her life.

"Good. Let's go." They didn't check out. Instead they went right to the parking lot and got in a black SUV not the car they had rented. Jason got behind the wheel as he drove he told Elizabeth to try to get some sleep.

The sun was coming up by the time she woke up. Jason was still driving. "Good morning." She said stretching.

Looking over he almost wrecked the truck. Fuck, she was killing him. He had to force his eyes back on the road and away from her chest. "Morning."

"Where are we?" She asked looking out the window.

"We just left Bangor, Maine. In another four hours or so we will be in Boston." He informed her. "There is a rest stop in a few miles, we'll pull in there and take a short break."

"Do you need me to drive?" She asked wondering why they had left so suddenly.

"Not at the moment." Jason was trying to figure out what to tell her. Finally he opted for everything. "There is a tracking device on my bike. Luke left Port Charles last night heading for the place I sent it to be stored. Carly seems to be up to something and Emily appears to be helping her. Nikolas is planning a trip as well but we don't know to where."

"Carly and Emily? Wow." Was all Elizabeth could say.

"My guess is that they are looking for you." Jason hit the steering wheel in frustration. "Only I can't figure out if they are working with Luke or against him."

"Why would they be working against Luke? Me with Lucky is what everyone wants." Elizabeth was still trying to wrap her mind around Carly and Emily working together. Emily was supposed to be her best friend. Lately though the other girl had been all about Lucky.

"Carly has to know that I won't just hand you over to her uncle and cousin. I'm missing something and until I can figure it out, I want to make sure you're safe." Jason told her reaching out and linking their fingers.

"So what's the plan?" Elizabeth would do whatever he wanted.

"We are going to Europe." Jason told her. Before he could continue his phone rang. "Morgan."

"Pull over." Francis told his boss. He was tired it had been a very long night.

"Okay." Jason did as instructed. "What's up?"

"Put the phone on speaker." Francis instructed. "Can you both hear me?"

"Hi Francis." Elizabeth couldn't help but smile.

"Hey sweetie. What did you take with you from Port Charles?"

"Nothing." Elizabeth answered confused she looked at Jason who also looked confused.

"You had to have taken something. Nikolas is on his way to Canada." Francis told them.

"I didn't bring anything. Jason was with me." Elizabeth swore. They must be tracking her too.

"Your coat or your purse." She had brought clothes with her. The two other things her duffel bag and passport were no longer with them.

Elizabeth turned her purse upside down and while she looked through the items Jason inspected the lining of the bag. Finally he just tore it out and found the homing device. "Shit." He said rolling down the window and tossing it out. Her coat got the same treatment and they found another device.

"What about the rest of my clothes?" Elizabeth asked.

Jason got out and went to the back. Her clothes from Port Charles were all in one bag. He took that out as well as the bag with the clothes he brought with him and placed them on the side of the road. "Okay." Jason told his friend. "We were headed to Boston."

"Go. It's a big enough city that it will be hard to find you. Don't fly out of Logan." Francis suggested.

"No." That would be the first place they looked because it was the closest international airport to where the tracking devices stopped. "We may need to stop for a rest." He was getting tired. "Do you want me to call you with our location?"

"No, call me when you land." Francis instructed. "Be careful."

"We will." Jason assured him.

"Thanks Francis." Elizabeth said. "Now what?" She asked looking at her boyfriend.

"Sleep and then a new course of action." He replied putting the car in drive.
