Chapter 30

Milo walked into Francis's office. "You wanted to see me?" He saw that Johnny and Cody were here too.

"Logan Hayes, why did you want him run?" Francis asked the younger man.

Milo looked at his friends, and technically his bosses although they never pulled rank. "Something isn't right. He never did anything, was always polite, respected the chain of command, and never even looked too long at Liz. But something isn't right. He gave me an itch between my shoulder blades." He finished up.

"It was a good catch." Johnny was proud of his young friend. "He's a freelancer, a new one that has only done a few jobs so far. We have no proof who sent him here, but with his job at the hospital we are guessing Liz is the target. So that may mean Trevor."

Cody was also grinning. "I guess I need to watch my back."

"I'm not looking to be an enforcer here." Milo said trying not to blush. He would at some point return to Palermo, where he would probably become Max's enforcer and second in command. But knowing the guys respected him meant a lot.

"I'm heading over to go pick up Logan, want to ride along?" Johnny would normally take Cody, but Milo had earned this. He had listened to his instincts and spotted a threat before anyone else.

"Sure thing." Milo was always up for work.

"If he's not in I'm going to wait." Johnny let the younger man know.

"Sabrina is working the night shift today, and Liz is with Jason which means I'm not needed. So I probably would have just ended up in trouble anyway." He said laughing. "A short stakeout won't be an issue."

"Good." Johnny had sent Georgie a text letting her know he would be working late. If Logan was in then they were going to be getting some answers. Johnny promised his girl he would call her later. He tried not to let a day go by without talking to her if they couldn't see each other. "Let's head out."

"Behave you two." Francis called out laughing. "I'm heading over to Jason's to give him an update."

"I'll swing by Sonny's to fill him in." Cody volunteered, otherwise Francis would have to go there too.

"Tell Sonny to call me if he wants more information." Francis figured that wouldn't be the case. Cody always gave a thorough report. "I'm in agreement with Johnny that this is connected to Trevor."

"The timing?" Cody was thinking the same thing.

"Yeah. We knew there was a chance he gave the order before we got there." Francis kind of hoped with was related to the Lansing stupidity. They could deal with it and get it over with.

"This will be the last problem they cause." Cody said as they reached their cars.

"That's the best thing about them being gone." Francis said getting behind the wheel.

"You guys okay back there?" Jason asked taking a quick look into the rearview mirror.

"We're good." Liz said peeking into the carrier at their new family members. It had been love at first sight for her, but Jason needed a little convincing that this was going to work.

"We're almost home." Jason said with a half grin. He had been looking for a dog, an older dog because he knew that they often got left at the shelter. He got his wish, and two other pets as well.

They had arrived at the shelter and started looking at the available dogs. There were a lot to choose from, enough that Jason would be sending a large donation to the shelter. It actually made him angry to hear the stories of people dropping off pets for reasons like they were now too old. When you adopted a pet it was for life, something he firmly believed.

He and Elizabeth were walking to the second room with adoptable dogs when they saw a dog in a private room. When Jason asked if the animal was sick, the volunteer smiled and shook her head no. She told them to watch, which they did. From behind the mixed breed dog hopped out two little bunnies. It turned out that dog had been brought in pregnant and her puppies were too sick to stay with her because she had not been getting enough food. The pups had been taken to the infirmary and because it didn't look like mom would be healthy enough to care for them they didn't get returned to her.

The baby bunnies had been brought in after their mom died, two small female bundles of fur. Mable the five year old dog had been out when they came in and she took to the babies immediately. Now they were inseparable because an unlikely bond had formed. The staff wanted to keep that bond from being broken. So it had been decided the trio would be adopted out together. Easier said than done.

Elizabeth fell in love the minute the story was finished. Jason was worried that at some point the dog was going to eat the bunnies. It took the vet coming over to say that Mable saw the rabbits as her babies, it seem odd but cross species bonding did happen more often than most folks realized.

So they had agreed to adopt the small family, which resulted in a trip to the pet store to stock up on supplies. Including carriers to keep their new forever friends safe in the car. Jason ended up having to go back to the store to gat another carrier because Mable had not been happy about being separated from the bunnies. So they needed something big enough to transport them together, they donated the smaller carriers to the shelter. He was pretty sure that was his first clue about who was going to run the house.

"We need to come up with names for the bunnies." Liz said looking up and smiling. "Thing One and Thing Two are simply not going to cut it."

"They were only named that because they weren't sure of the genders at first." Jason said laughing. Now the vet was certain they were both girls. "What about Flopsy and Mopsy?"

"Kristina will pass out from joy that we not only got rabbits, but that those are their names." Liz said giving her approval. The Peter Rabbit books were the little girl's favorites.

"She's going to ask Sonny for one." Jason said smirking. And his friend would probably cave because he had a hard time telling his daughter no. Alexis would then kill her husband, because she was trying to raise a child that wasn't a diva. She was praying this new baby was a boy. The attorney said that two princesses would be a lot to live with. "Okay we're home. Let's get everything set up and get the pets out of the travel crate."

"We're home guys, let the spoiling begin." She said as Jason parked the car.

Logan wasn't home so the guys hit the nearest coffee shop, got something to drink, and settled down to wait for him to come back. Milo called their tech guy to see if Hayes was working today, if he was then they would just go get him there. Of course he wasn't, because it was never that easy. Johnny told Stan to send out an alert telling the guys to be on the lookout.

"So you and Sabrina are doing okay?" Johnny asked his friend. Stakeouts were better with gossip.

"We are." Milo said grinning. "I'm taking her home the next time I can take vacation. My mother has been dropping some rather large hints that she would like to meet the young lady I've been seeing for the last year."

"I know the feeling. My mother was ready to hop on the next flight out when I told her that bought a ring for Georgie." Johnny responded laughing.

"Is that good or bad?" Milo wanted to know.

"It's good. My mom met Georgie last year when she was here for a visit. My mother very much likes my now girlfriend. There was some mention that Georgie was the type of woman I should have on my arm, which leads me to believe my mom talked with Diane." Johnny had just been happy his mother didn't say anything to Georgie. Kathleen O'Brien was not known for holding her tongue.

"I would like to have a ring on Sabrina's finger before taking her home." Milo admitted. "I've been looking around, but so far I haven't found the right one."

"Sabrina is okay with moving to Italy eventually?" Johnny figured she was if Milo was looking at rings.

"She knows that I will be going home at some point. We've talked about what that means." Basically that Port Charles was a temporary home for him. It was the main reason he hadn't done any serious dating before Sabrina, she just wasn't someone he could let walk away. She was too amazing. "She told me that there are hospitals in Italy too. How long before you give your girl a diamond?" The betting pool was already set up.

"Looking for inside information to score big?" Johnny asked knowing nothing could be further from the truth.

"I'm not involved in the pool. I don't bet on things like that. I will however throw in when Jason and Liz announce their first baby. I have a knack for winning baby pools." Milo said grinning.

"If I recall correctly you've won the last five." Johnny had heard Phil mutter that they needed to ban Milo from the next one.

"I don't know why I'm so good at that." He looked at his friend. "So you should get moving, so I can take the pot for your baby as well."

"It would be ashamed to let these genes go to waste." Johnny said laughing out loud. He and Georgie weren't there yet, but they should at some point talk about what they wanted in the future. His phone buzzed and he looked at the screen. "It appears the Morgans have acquired some furry friends." He showed Milo the picture.

"They mentioned getting a dog." The young guard replied. "No mention of rabbits though."

"I'll have to mention this to Georgie tonight, if Liz didn't send her a text." This message was from Jason. "I'm sure that my girl will want to go feed them." Johnny wouldn't ever get a rabbit for a pet, but he did have to admit they sure were cute.

The woman on Johnny's mind was waiting in the hallway of her apartment building while Phil did a walkthrough of her unit. Since they had been so awesome this afternoon Diane had told her young associate to take the rest of the day off. Considering she'd logged some really long days this week Georgie didn't argue. Of course the one night she left before nine Johnny wouldn't be free but they would talk later. The man knew how to make the most of a phone call she thought to herself trying not to blush.

"All clear." Phil said stepping into the hall. "If you decide to go out later, give me a call."

"Will do." Georgie promised. She felt bad for her guard, he must be bored senseless. All he did was sit in the lounge all day. The results from the Bar exam should be coming in soon, then he would at least get to go to the courthouse on a regular basis. "Thanks, night."

"Night Ms. Jones." Phil waited for her to knock before he headed down to his car.

In the apartment Georgie kicked off her heels and took off her suit jacket. Rolling her shoulders to reduce tension she walked into the kitchen and grabbed a glass to get some water. While she had her drink she gave some thought to how to spend her night off. She could do some briefs and maybe that would make it so she could leave early tomorrow too. Or she could fill up the tub to have a nice long soak before doing those briefs. Opening the refrigerator she tried to decide if she felt like cooking. Maybe a run to the store, then a bath, then the briefs. But then she'd need to call Phil back, and it seemed wrong to make him come over so she could get some pizza. She could order in but that meant staying in her work clothes because she didn't go to the door in loungewear.

"Stop being lazy Georgie." She said too herself. She would make dinner, then soak, and then do some work. After she'd snuggle in bed and watch some television until her guy called. "That's a plan." She said nodding. The glass went into the sink and she headed deeper into her place to get changed.

She stepped into her bedroom and stopped in shock. Standing next to her open hope chest was a blonde man with a gun.

"Hello Georgie." Logan said with a grin. "If you scream I will shoot you. Without hesitation. If you cooperate then you will walk away unharmed."

"What do you want?" She asked in a steady voice. Her dad had trained all of them to handle situations like this. Might seem odd to some but with him being the police commissioner while she was growing up she, her sister, and her cousin became targets.

"My wants in life are pretty simple. Mainly I just want to sit on the beach, with a cold beer, and watch pretty girls walk by in very little clothing. The suitcase full of cash your boyfriend is going to give me to get you back safely is going to make that happen." Logan said smiling wider. A guy who put a ring like the one Georgie was wearing on his girlfriend's finger was one who was serious about the relationship. So yeah O'Brien would bring the money.

Logan had broken into her place earlier in the day after a neighbor let him in the front door. The security system she had was first rate, but there wasn't an alarm built that he couldn't get past. The hope chest was a great place to hide because the guard wouldn't think to look there. He heard Georgie say good night and then the beeping of the alarm being set so he knew it was safe to come out.

"You need to put on some shoes because we are leaving." Logan told her smiling. "When we get settled you will make a call to O'Brien, and if you say anything wrong then he'll get to listen to me shoot you through the phone. Are we clear?"

"Crystal." Georgie said thinking this was not how she saw her night going.

"Good." Logan said watching her closely as she slipped on a pair of sneakers. He took them out the fire escape. The fact that the sun was down gave them extra coverage. His hand fisted in her hair kept her facing front and made it so he didn't have to worry about her running. They walked three blocks staying in the small alley that ran behind the buildings with the gun pressed into her back. "You drive." He said opening the passenger side door so she could slide across the seat. "Don't even think of trying to crash the car."

"Where to?" Georgie would stay alert for an opening and if she got one she would take it.

Thanks for the reviews!
