Reliving The Past

Chapter 43

Sonny had Molly ties to a chair and the house searched. She sits there. Sonny and her stare at each other. Until one guard comes back with a bunch of mail and pictures. Sonny looks at the pictures. His face gets angrier if possible.

"Who took these pictures? And I would answer very carefully. If I even THINK you are lying, you will regret it. No one is here to help you. And I bet your imagination is running wild with what I might do to you. This is good, but I can promise you that it will be worse than anything you can come up with." Sonny says, grinning enough for his cute dimples to make an appearance.

"There were many that took those pictures. I couldn't name them all. I do know that Tom took some. Andy took some. She was his assistant at his photography job before those little brats ruined it." Molly says, starting to get her back bone back.

"What brats would that be?" Sonny asks, leaning forward.

"Elizabeth, Lucky and those two others. Another reason why Elizabeth is a target." Molly looks Sonny in the eyes and looks hard.

"Really? You want to taunt when you are tied up? And my men are going to find something that has a last name for you. And then we are going to find out what's really going on with you." Sonny says, trying to hold back his rage. Another guard comes in.

"Sir, you need to see this." Sonny gets up and goes off with the guard. When they go into the basement, they find two skeletons. They were holding hands. Sonny's boiling point is reached and Molly's taunting time is done. So he rushes back upstairs. When he gets there, two of the guards are on the floor and Molly is gone.

"Son of a bitch! Find them! NOW!" Sonny yells. Then tries to think what to do next. He calls Laura.

"Hello?"

"Laura, its Sonny. I came back to the house were we talked to that crazy lady. I was getting somewhere with her. The house wasn't hers. There are a couple of skeletons in the basement. I think they killed the people that lived here. Her name was Molly. I didn't get a last name. She must have had help. I went downstairs to see what they found. Got back up and two of the guards are knocked out and she's gone. She was tied up. Make sure all the kids and you ladies are in the house. I am sending a guard over now. But they could get there first if that's where they are going." Sonny says, trying to calm down.

"Lucky and Frisco are here. But I doubt they have guns." Laura sounds concerned and alerted.

"Well, get the kids in the house and lock it up tight. I am going to make sure one of the guards stays here for the police. And the other two are taken to the hospital. I am on my way. I have a gun." Sonny hangs up and gets all the stuff in motion. He grabs the letters and pictures. Then leaves.

"Ok. That was Sonny. We have THEM coming our way. We need to get Cameron in here and lock us up tight. Sonny went back to that house we went to yesterday. He thinks that they are on their way here. Lucky, go get Cameron please. I need to help Mary lock the windows and all the doors. Hurry honey!"

"Gather the boys stuff and take them upstairs. That way we can see them coming. Frisco, help mom please. I'll be back soon." Lucky takes off out the back of the house. He gets closer to the woods and sees Cameron on the ground typing away. "Cam!" Cameron looks up and at Lucky. She closes his laptop and stands up. The look on Cameron's face is concern. As Lucky gets closer, Cam's face gets more fixed.

"Dad, there are a few people. They are coming up the driveway. Two men and a woman." Cam says, calmer than Lucky thought he would be.

"It's ok. Just get in the woods." Lucky says, getting his phone out and texts his mom to lock all the doors. Cam and he would hide out in the woods. That they were here. And call Sonny to let them know that they did show up.

"So they were able to follow them to the safe house?" Tom asks, talking to one of the members on the phone.

"Yes sir. We have a couple guys watching the front and back of the house. It only looks to be three in there. Her, the yahoo she's hanging all over and the guard. Should we take them now and get her?" Sam says, waiting for orders.

"No. I know it would be easy. But I need word from England. Once we get confirmation that we have her kids, then we take her. Barging chips moron." Tom says, irritated.

"Ok. We will be here. Just let us know." Sam hangs up.

"Mindless moron. Does no one pay attention to the plans?" Tom yells. The phone rings again. "Hello?"

"Sir, I found Jackson's residence. But he's not here. Do you want me to wait or track him down?" Jose asks.

"Wait for him to come home. What, were you hit with stupid sticks in the last 24 hours? I'm shocked you all managed to live this long without me. Call when he's take out." Tom hangs up. Just shocked at the questions he's being asked today. He starts to gather his kit together. Rope, duct tape, chloroform, scissors, the red dress, red shoes, black coat, white scarf, red purse, first aid kit and his small box of photos. He was going to love reliving the past with her. He was going to make sure she relived that moment. And then he was going to torture her. No one else is going to touch her. She is his. Everyone else is nothing. They have a score to settle. He was going to take his time this time. And when he was done with her and used her up. He decides he's going to find one of her friends and go through them. His anger is so fierce, that it's gotten beyond her. His phone rings again.

"What!?" Tom yells.

"I know you didn't just yell at me like that!" Jerry yells.

"No sir. I'm sorry for that slip. What can I do for you?" Tom asks, changing his tune fast.

"How are plans going?" Jerry asks.

"Good sir. Just a little longer."

"Ok. But remember, Bobby is off limits. Let me know how things are going." Jerry hangs up. Tom hangs up too.

"There is something seriously wrong with that man." Tom says to himself.

"That was the best dinner I have had in a long time. Thank you Mrs. Webber." Max says, smiling.

"Yes, that was delicious." Franco says, wiping his mouth with his napkin.

"Thank you boys. And Max, call me Elizabeth or Liz. I have gotten so much better. You should ask Lucky how bad my cooking was." Liz gets lost in thought for a moment. But it made her smile, they didn't say anything. When she comes back to the present, she stands up and starts to gather the dishes.

"Oh no, allow me." Franco says, taking the dishes in her hands. "You made dinner, let US clean up and do the dishes." Franco says, looking at Max. Then Max gets it.

"Oh yeah. Sorry. Diane would have my butt in a sling. I apologize. That dinner just had me so lost in heaven." Max tries to explain.

"Thank you boys. Remember, there is a dishwasher. I am going to take a cup of coffee into the living room and relax." Liz grabs her cup of coffee and gets a refill, then heads to the living room. Franco and Max clear the table and then rinse the dishes as they put them in the dishwasher.

"How do you think she's doing?" Max asks.

"I think she's doing as well as can be expected. Any word from the police? What was in the box?" Franco asks, curious as to what they gave her.

"They said it was picture of Doctor and Mrs. Hardy. There was a note saying something about how they helped them reunite. These people are just so sick. I feel so bad for Mrs. Webber." Max says, putting the dishes into the dishwasher.

"Yes Max. They are sick. But we will help her stop them. And she will better after we get these people off the street. Then she can mourn her grandmother properly with us all being there for here that way too. I hate these guys for doing this to her. But I know that she's strong enough to do this. Sure it hurts watching her hurt so bad. But people act like she a china doll that will break at the slightest issue. I will be there for her when she needs to lean on someone. But I am not going to tell her how to help herself. That's stifling her personality. Maybe that is why her previous relationships didn't work out. They tried to make her need them to take care of her in that way. I see her as a fierce woman. Mother, nurse and warrior." Franco says, smiling.

"Wow, you have it bad man. You are another bitten by the Liz love bug. I have seen Lucky Spencer fall for her. Jason Morgan. Even Mr. C had a special place for her. She's a wonderful young lady. Just be careful man. Many good men have been taken down by their feeling for her. And good lucky. She is a good person." Max dries his hands and goes to the other room. Franco finishes up and then goes to see if she needed a refill on her coffee. When he gets to the living room, he finds her snuggled up on the couch. Sleeping soundly. He pulls the covers up to her chin, then moves a piece of hair out of her face. He's so mesmerized by her beauty. Just looking at her hurts his heart. But also gets the butterflies in his stomach all riled up. He thinks why she's sleeping, he would go get the surprise he had for her.

Elizabeth is dreaming. She remembers the horrible scene at the beach with Jessica. But then it morphs into her rape. And then goes back and forth. She tries to wake herself up. To fight the dreams. But she ends up rolling off the couch and landing hard on the wood floor. Her eyes open and then her mouth does too.

"Ouch!" Elizabeth rubs her bottom. She then notices that she had tears on her face too. She sits there for a second and remembers what her nightmare was about. She closes her eyes and talks to Jessica in her head. Begging for her to forgive her for being a coward and not saving her life. She's so deep in though that she didn't hear Franco come into the room. Franco goes to touch her shoulder. She jumps and gasps.

"Sorry Liz. Are you ok?" Franco looks into her eyes.

"Yeah. Just another damn nightmare. I don't know if it's Jessica or me torturing me with these nightmares. But they better go away when I take these bastards down! Sorry, did you need something?" Elizabeth asks, still somewhat scattered.

"Nope, I was just bringing in my surprise for you. I didn't know how long we would be here, but I thought you don't have to look after anyone but yourself. So I thought it would be a perfect time for you to paint. I have the perfect subject. You tell me if it's out of line. How about a picture of your Gram and Gramps?" Franco says, arms out in the surprise stance.

"Yeah, too soon for it Franco. Sorry. How about I paint you and you paint me? That way we are both busy and I paint you painting and you paint me painting." Liz giggles.

"Sure, I'm always up to a challenge. Although I will need a pair of sunglasses due to my subjects radiance. It's like looking directly into the sun." Franco jokes around. Elizabeth stands up and walks over to him and punches him in the upper arm.

"OUCH! What was that for?" Franco rubs his arm.

"For being a dork. Any other questions big baby?" Elizabeth starts to smile.

"Yeah, how are you are tickle fights?" Franco goes after her and tickles her. She pretends, or tries to pretend that she's not ticklish.

"Stop it. I'm not…" She would let a little giggle slip through. "I'm not ticklish!" Then she bursts out laughing. They roll around on the couch where they fell to. Then roll off onto the floor. When they stop, Franco is on top. Their faces very close. Then he leans down into that small distance. And gently kisses Liz. She puts her arms up and around his neck, pulling him down closer. And the kiss goes from innocent to deep and more passionate. The kiss continues until her phone rings. Franco pulls back and grabs her phone, handing it to her.

"Thank you. Hello?"

"Liz, this is Laura. We are going to have to take the boys and your parents to Sonny's island. They are here. Right now. Three of them. The woman I spoke to yesterday. And two big buffoons. Sonny and his men are on the way. But Lucky and Cam are out in the woods. It's not safe here anymore. Until this is all over." Laura sounds upset, but trying to cover it for Jake and Aidan's sake.

"Oh God! Have Aidan and Jake hide in a closest. I had to do that a few times when some dirty creatures came to my house. Tell them to follow mommy's monster plan. They know what it means. God, what kind of mother has these plans." Elizabeth's mind is going a mile a minute.

"Honey, that's a good plan. We have to have these. Look how we raised Lucky. I will tell them that. I will call back when Sonny gets here and everything is ok. Don't worry. I know that's hard. But you have two momma's that are grandmomma's now. So we can handle this. I just wanted you to know. Lucky will protect Cam with his life. He loves him." Laura says, but before Liz can respond she hears some banging or pounding in the background. "Gotta go honey. Love you." The call ends. Elizabeth pulls the phone back and looks at the phone. Like it might try to make sense to her. She tries to hold back the fear and the tears.

"What's going on?" Franco asks.

"They found my boys. My God I sent them away and then right into their hands! What kind of a mother am I? I can't help them there. I can't help them here." Elizabeth drops to the couch and just starts crying. Believing she's the worst mother ever.
