Chapter 30

While Cameron napped Jason took the opportunity to check in with Mac. The other night when he came to get Ben, Johnny had passed along that Luke Spencer was indeed in Ireland, and was paying the rent on his son's place. But the elder Spencer hadn't heard from his son in months and was starting to worry. So Jason wanted to know what Jesse had uncovered. "Mac, it's Jason."

"Hey, great timing I just got off the phone with my nephew. I instructed him to leave Colorado and follow Mrs. Morgan's route to Portland. Lucky may have doubled back at some point and if nothing else Jesse can try to piece together what happened in Oregon after your wife left." Mac told the mob boss.

"Did you speak with Johnny?" Jason was in his home office with the monitor on his desk in case Cameron woke or cried out in his sleep.

"I did. I ran Spencer and he's got connections to a family in Greece, but they don't appear to have any underworld ties. Royal ones though. I don't think you'll have any issues from that sector. I did get the impression that he was aware of what his son was doing." Mac passed along.

"Anything else?" Jason had connections in Europe as well. Johnny was well connected in Ireland itself. If Spencer was going to be a problem he wouldn't leave the country alive. The urge to just order Spencer's death right now was strong. But before he could take that step Jason needed proof that Luke knew that Lucky was terrorizing an innocent woman and child.

Donnelly wouldn't get that much consideration. He was going to die. They would need to be smart about it, killing a cop was not an easy thing to get away with so this needed to be clean and could not come back to them. Jason was thinking of calling in a marker and letting another family handle this one. Colorado was the territory of the Deluca Organization. Roy was not fond of men who abused women or those who covered for them. Roy owned him a favor for allowing some merchandise to come through Port Charles when the feds closed Baltimore. Jason had no problem letting others use the shipping lanes as long as they weren't bringing in weapons, drugs, or women.

"That's it for now. Jesse is doing his best. Luke ran cons and is considered a master so if Lucky learned everything his old man had to teach him then he may be hard to track." Mac didn't like that.

"I know you'll stay on top of it." Jason trusted Mac. That was not something he could say about a lot of other people.

"I'll check in next week." Mac promised before hanging up the phone.

As Jason put the phone down the ring on his finger caught the light. He had to smile looking at it. He had refused to wear a ring for his first two wives. Sam had even threatened to cancel the wedding, but he wouldn't change his mind. Elizabeth didn't even have to ask. When he walked into the jewelry store he automatically said a pair of wedding rings. He'd actually picked his first.

The phone ringing brought Jason out of his musings. "Morgan."

"Hello Jason." Maximus was in his office at home as well.

"Maximus." Jason knew what this call was about. He wanted to make sure that the Morgan O'Brien Organization was not about to obliterate the Scully Organization. As far as Jason was concerned that all depended on how stupid Joe Jr. was going to be. "What can I do for you?"

"I received a call from Joe Scully Jr." Maximus had no tolerance for idiots and that was just what Scully was. "It seems he has made a mistake and wishes me to broker peace between his organization and yours."

"A mistake?" Jason asked the older man. That was not he was expecting to hear.

"Yes, he thought your organization had moved against his by hijacking one of his trucks." Maximus had spent a good hour yelling at Joe Jr. It had been on the tip of his tongue to tell the idiot in Rochester that he was on his own. Maximus wondered just what the hell Joe Sr. had done to spawn two reckless men. His own son and Sonny Corinthos.

"We aren't thieves." Jason explained.

"I am aware of what you and Johnny will and will not do." Maximus had a lot of respect for both of the younger men and was proud that his younger sons worked in that organization. "Joe Jr. realized his mistake a few days ago. Which is fortunate because I can guarantee he would have done something that cost him his life."

"Such as?" Jason wondered what Maximus had heard.

"Let's just say his trip to lay eyes on your wife was more than just a warning." Maximus knew that if Joe had moved against Elizabeth Morgan, the streets of Rochester would have run with blood.

"He came down to scout my wife's security, while she was with our son, and now he wants peace." Jason was going to have a hard time with this one. "I am within my rights to kill him for that alone."

"Yes, Jason you are." Maximus would not stop the younger mob boss if that was his choice.

"I will need to speak to Johnny." This type of decision had to be made together. "May I call you back tomorrow?"

"That is fine. Congratulations on the marriage and adoption. Both Max and Milo speak highly of your new wife." The mob don liked to end calls on a positive note.

"Thank you Maximus." Jason made small talk before ending the call. He immediately called his partner. "I just got a call from Palermo."

"Why?" Johnny leaned back in his chair frowning. Maximus was on good terms with them, but he didn't just call out of the blue.

"Joe Scully Jr." Jason said trying to stay calm. He wanted to be in a good mood when Cameron woke up.

"What did he complain to Maximus because we torched his warehouse?" Johnny said rolling his eyes. "He was in our territory uninvited. He approached your wife."

"He made a mistake. He thought we took out one of his trucks." Jason passed the information along.

"We don't poach. We have no need to." Johnny's accent was getting thicker. He was a lot of things, but a thief was not one of them.

"No Scully realized his mistake and called Maximus because he doesn't want me to kill him." Jason said shaking his head. "He wants to broker a new peace."

"Fuck him." Johnny couldn't stand Joe Jr. The old man, Joe Sr., had been ruthless but at least he was smart enough to have all his facts before making a move.

"Precisely." Jason liked that answer. "We need to find out who hijacked the truck." They would most likely strike again. As long as the feud didn't move past Rochester they could kill each other.

"Aside from us who else has Joe pissed off recently?" Johnny wondered if Jason had heard anything.

"No clue. But Joe's trucks run down from Canada. From Rochester they go west." Jason said thinking out loud. "We don't allow them to run through Port Charles or Crimson Pointe." Scully shipped whatever someone was willing to pay him to. That trash wasn't coming into their city.

"Let me reach out to Boston." Johnny suggested. "See what they may have heard." The Mackay Organization controlled the city. They were allies and would pass along anything they knew. "You're home?" Johnny asked looking at the caller id screen.

"Yeah, I'm with Cameron today. I was at the office earlier." Jason explained.

"You don't answer to me." Johnny knew that business would get handled. Just like Jason knew the same about him. Their hours weren't always nine to five. "Let me make the call. Have fun with your boy." Johnny was grinning. Something must have happened for Liz to leave them alone. Something good. Hopefully that meant Cameron would be less afraid around him soon. Ben was asking for a sleep over.

"Thanks. I told Maximus I'd call him back tomorrow." Jason told his partner.

"Yup." Johnny got the message of call today please. "I'll call you after dinner."

"Try a little later, Georgie is meeting Cameron tonight." Jason told his friend.

"That should go well. Everyone likes Georgie." Johnny knew that Ben adored her.

"I hope so." Jason said thinking about date night. He heard Cameron moving. "I'll wait for your call."

"Okay." Johnny said hanging up the phone. Scully was an idiot, hopefully one they would be ride of soon.

After a very long shift Elizabeth got changed, tossing her scrubs in the hamper, and walked toward the hub where Kyle would be waiting. He used to wait outside the locker room but someone, probably Leyla, complained so now he had to wait down the hall. He could still see her when she exited the changing area, but if she had a problem in the locker room he might not know it. Jason was going to be less than thrilled about the change.

"Ready?" Kyle asked his charge.

"All set." Elizabeth said following him to the elevator.

"Who was the woman following you around all day?" Kyle knew most of the staff, but not all of them.

"The new head of the nurse practitioner program. She wanted to see if I knew my stuff." If she was like this with Leyla then the other nurse might quit on the spot. Mercedes questioned every decision that Liz had made today. It had been a while since she had been put through the paces, but Liz hadn't been shaken. She was good at her job. Something Mercedes conceded at the end of the shift.

"She seemed tough." Kyle pointed out. Kinda of how Cody treated the guards to make sure they weren't resting on their laurels. As the Morgan O'Brien enforcer he was also head of the guards. He was known for popping up unexpectedly to see what the guys were doing at any given time. Kyle made sure to stay sharp.

"She is, but if I'm not good at my job someone may die. So I don't mind." Elizabeth leaned against the elevator wall and closed her eyes. Taking a few deep breaths she let the day go when she opened them as the door slid open she was looking at her guys.

Cameron grinned and waved. He was really happy when after they left the movie daddy said they should surprise mommy at work.

"Hey baby." Elizabeth said taking him from his dad and giving her son a big kiss.

"We surprised you." He whispered so that Kyle or Milo wouldn't hear.

"You did surprise me." Elizabeth thought this was the best way to end a work day. "Did you have fun with daddy?" She asked as they walked to Jason's car.

Cameron nodded.

"Good. Hop up." Elizabeth held her son's hand as he climbed into the large vehicle. She strapped him in and closed the door. Turning she smiled at Jason who was watching. "Did you have fun?"

"I did." He told her as he opened her door. Before she got in she tilted her head up and Jason covered her mouth with his. From inside the car Cameron giggled. "Get in." He said softly.

With a demure smile she did. "Should I call in the pizza?"

"Already done." Jason told her. "We'll swing by and get it before going home. The construction is finished."

"Have you seen it?" Elizabeth was ready to see what the crew had been doing.

"Cameron and I both have been over. Right buddy?" Jason was sneaking peeks at his son in the mirror.

"It's cool, mommy." Cameron had more trains. The ones like at the big house where his grandparents lived. "Big TVs." He told her holding his arms open wide.

"Well I'm going to have to check that out. Do you remember that tonight we are having a visitor?" Elizabeth just wanted to prep him some.

"Georgie." Cameron said looking at his mom. He was curious about this new person. The girl with the boy name. Since they moved to Port Charles he met lots of new people and they were all nice. He hoped Georgie was nice too.

"That's right." Elizabeth nodded. When the car slowed she looked out the front window and saw they were at the pizza parlor. Jason didn't get out, but Milo walked by them and went inside. "If I come without you will I be allowed inside?"

"Depends on what is going on in the territory." Jason said looking over. "If there is problem they will either ask you to wait in the car or have a runner pick the order up."

Leaning forward Elizabeth engaged the DVD player. Once Cameron was distracted she looked at Jason. "There is a problem?"

"A small one. Not you." He knew what her worry was. "One of my associates did something stupid. Johnny is making some calls at the moment."

Elizabeth opened her mouth to ask a question and then shut it again.

"You can ask." Jason said giving her a slow smile. "I might have to say no comment though."

"Does this have to do with the man at church?" He had pissed off Jason. Even though her husband's demeanor hadn't changed she picked up on the shift of his energy. It was subtle, but she still felt it.

"It does. He shouldn't have been in Port Charles without mine or Johnny's permission. He also should not have been anywhere near the two of you." Jason said as he opened the door and took the boxes from Milo. He peeked in the top one and handed it to Liz before giving the bottom two to Milo.

"You ordered the guys pizza?" Elizabeth said taking the box.

Jason just shrugged.

Elizabeth got that he didn't want to make a fuss over the act. But she felt it was a telling thing to do. The guys knew that they were appreciated. Company outings, parties, and food for them men who protected their families. Johnny and Jason were great bosses. Of course they also probably rained down holy hell when someone screwed up. "Do you have a company doctor?"

"We do." Jason said as they pulled into the garage at the Towers.

"Can I ask who it is?" Elizabeth was curious.

"No comment." Jason said grinning. He wouldn't compromise the person's professional reputation. Not that he thought his wife would gossip. It was part of their agreement that the services were rendered, but not talked about.

"Okay then." Elizabeth said getting out of the car. She smiled at her husband to let him know she wasn't upset. She got their son and they headed upstairs.

Thanks for the reviews, the follows, and the favorites!
