Chapter 32

The Nite Lite Motel was not a very big place. Only thirty rooms, of those rooms only four were booked for multiple nights. Cody hand-picked four guys, and sent them, in with their girlfriends so they didn't look out of place, to request the rooms next to the ones Stan had listed. The guys each asked for their room for two hours. Once inside they used sound boosting equipment to listen to what was going on next door.

It was Lee who had the room next to Logan and Georgie. The Texan was holding a one sided conversation with his hostage and it was him saying her name that confirmed the guard was in the right place. He called it in to let Cody know they had confirmation Johnny's girl was here. When his two hours were up Lee left with his girlfriend, the room was remade and Marco checked in booking the room for two nights. He went to the fire exit, and let in the rest of his crew. One of them would listen around the clock to make sure Logan didn't hurt Georgie while they worked on how to get her out. Everyone was hoping that she hadn't been hurt before they arrived.

"You sure you don't want any pizza?" Logan asked Georgie for the third time. "It's not that bad. It's not as good as the pizza I got in New York City, but still not bad. I have to admit Port Charles has a certain charm to it. I thought for sure I would be bored while I did my surveillance." He said ignoring the fact that she was not responding.

"So why a mobster? I mean you're pretty much the textbook good girl. So why are you dating a mob guy? Didn't any of those doctors ask you out?" Logan wanted to know. All the mobsters in Port Charles seemed to have good girls, it was a puzzler. Usually guys like them had women who looked like showgirls and were made of plastic parts. Not that Georgie wasn't pretty, but she didn't look like a mobster's girlfriend.

Georgie considered not answering, but decided to because she didn't want to make Logan angry. "He's a nice guy." She told him.

"You think he'll come up with the cash?" Logan wanted to know.

"I know he will." Georgie said with absolute certainty. She also knew that Johnny was going to remove Logan from the face of the earth when this was over. She didn't feel at all bad about that.

"Good. I would hate to go through all this and not get paid." Logan said laughing.

"Are you going to kill me?" She asked showing a small amount of the fear she was feeling.

"No." Logan looked at her. "I don't kill innocent people. I just won't give you back."

"You're just going to keep me. Like a pet?" Georgie didn't like the sound of that.

"I'm getting paid one way or another. O'Brien can pony up the money to get you back, or I can give you to a friend of mine who knows some people who like girls like you." Logan said letting her draw her own conclusions.

Georgie closed her eyes and prayed that the guys showed up soon.

Marco looked at Ritchie. "Call Sonny and let him know what Logan said. Maybe Stan can do a deeper run and see who Logan's contacts are. We can give the name to the Feds."

"I'll call from the bathroom." Ritchie said, he didn't want his conversation to make it so Marco missed something important.

"How did you get Johnny to take a sleeping pill?" Diane wanted to know.

"I told him that he needed to be rested when Georgie came home." Liz said to her friend joining her on the couch. Jason was in his office on the phone. "The dosage is light and I told him that we would wake him up if anything happened. Realistically he will probably only sleep for a few hours."

"I hope she comes home uninjured." Diane knew that being taken was a very real threat for all the ladies of the top guys in the organization. However she didn't think that money would normally be at the root of the abduction. Revenge would.

"Jason is going offer Johnny use of the island when we get Georgie back. Just so they can have some time to relax." Liz thought that was a good idea.

"She can of course have as much time off as she needs." Diane said nodding. The island reminded her of what she still needed to confess. Jason walked into the room and the attorney knew it was time. "I got my memories back sooner than I said when we are on the island."

"What?" Liz looked at her friend.

"I actually knew the two of you weren't engaged the day after we arrived." Diane said smiling.

"You were faking?" Jason hadn't expected to hear that.

"I was tired of waiting for the two of you to get in gear." Diane told them why she did what she did.

"So you said all those things about me being the perfect mob wife why?" Liz wanted to know.

"So that Jason would make me stop." Diane said laughing. "He came to your rescue each and every time I got on your nerves. And you lapped it up." The lawyer pointed out. "When I realized that the two of you were really getting married, I couldn't just miraculously be cured. Especially not with Georgie and Johnny coming down. Given the chance I was worried they would back off."

"Wow." Jason just looked at his lawyer. "I'm impressed."

"Jason." Liz said trying not to laugh. They had been well and truly played. "You're supposed to be glaring at her for lying and making us worry."

"I can't help it. I can normally spot a liar. Diane got by me. When did Francis know?" Jason asked his attorney.

"He didn't know for sure until the day Patrick gave me my exam. Frannie flat out asked when I got my memories back. So the gig was up. It was Patrick who told me what to say and how to act when we got back to the house. It turns out you can buy a world class neurosurgeon for a piece of expensive medical equipment."

"That's good to know." Jason said storing that knowledge away.

"Don't do anything like that again." Liz said giving her friend the stink eye.

"I don't have to." Diane pointed out. "Everyone else is doing fine on their own." Then she gave them both a smile. "I did enjoy getting to be your mom for a few weeks. Between the fights."

Liz looked at her friend. "I enjoyed you being my mom. Including the fights. It felt good to argue with someone because they wanted the best for me." She scooted over and gave Diane a big hug.

"Do you have anything to say?" Diane asked her boss.

"Thank you." Jason said and shocked his attorney by giving her a kiss on her cheek. "We can put that behind us. But I want to be there when you tell Johnny and Georgie." He said smiling.

"Deal." Diane said looking forward to that.

"I'm heading in. Milo is on his way back with Sabrina." Jason had called and asked his mother to send the nurse home early. Milo went to get her because he needed to see for himself that she was fine. Chris would follow them out. "If anything happens I'll call."

"Okay." Liz was going to keep her thoughts positive.

"It's time to sack out and get some shut eye. You want to use the bathroom?" Logan asked Georgie.

"Yes." She was hoping to find a weapon of some sort, but that hope was dashed because her only option was to the break the mirror. Something he would hear. She considered stabbing him with the wrapped toothbrush but it had a blunt end and it was no match for his gun. So she had no choice but to go back out to the main room.

"On the bed." Logan said tilting his head. "Relax, I have no plans to join you. I prefer blondes." When Georgie was where he wanted he tied her back up looping the rope through the head boards. Then he walked over to the door.

"What are you doing?" Georgie wanted to know.

"I'm rigging the door so that if anyone tries to come in, not that I think your boyfriend has any clue where you are, it will blow." Logan said finishing up his work. "I'll take it off in the morning. When I'm awake I can just shoot anyone who tries anything. Or I can shoot you which ever works."

Georgie just watched him set up a blanket on the floor.

"You afraid of the dark?" Logan asked before turning out the light.

"No." Georgie said quietly. She put her head on the pillow and when darkness fell in the room she let the tears come being careful not to make any noise. She didn't want Logan to know he was getting to her, but she was scared. Silently she prayed for Johnny to find her. She didn't want Logan to get a dime of the money he wanted, but a bullet from Johnny would be fine.

"She just saved a few lives." Marco said putting down the headset. Georgie didn't even realize what her question halted. They were going to try an overnight rescue. Logan would be caught off guard if they went in while he was sleeping. Cody did warn them that military guys woke up fast, so if that was the way they were going to go they needed to move swiftly. Now that plan was out.

Paulie took the headset and sat down to monitor the room. In a few hours he would switch off with Doug. If anything of interest happened he would call it in before waking up the crew.

Marco pulled out his phone. "Logan wired the door. I don't know with what but he said it was set to blow."

"Shit." Cody said running a hand down his face. "We will have to wait then. He might be bluffing to scare Georgie, but if he's telling the truth we could injure her going in. Let's just hope if he isn't lying he knows how to handle whatever he has."

"He may go out for breakfast." Marco knew this motel didn't have room service, the rooms didn't have coffeemakers either. That theory was helped by the fact that no businesses in Port Charles delivered breakfast. "Unless he's got a remote control, he can't wire the room when he leaves it."

"Keep watch, and if you get an opening take it. You have backup outside so if he does go on a food run, we'll nab him." Cody had already told everyone to only draw their guns only if they had to.

"How is OB?" Marco asked checking on his friend.

"Knocked out. Liz got a sleeping pill into him. I was hoping to have good news when he woke up." Cody said exhaling hard.

"Would have been nice." Marco said in agreement. "I'm gonna get a few hours of sleep. I'll report in tomorrow morning."

"If I don't answer call Francis." Cody was going to have to sleep at some point. He hung up and looked at Jason, Sonny, and Francis. "Logan wired the door."

"Damn." Sonny said shaking his head. "Johnny's going to freak when he learns that."

"We aren't going to be able to keep him away from the motel for much longer." Jason pointed out. "He won't endanger Georgie, but he is only going to be patient for so long."

"Tomorrow at breakfast will hopefully provide us with an opening." Francis said looking at the clock. "You guys call it a night. I'll stay here. Cody you can relieve me in six hours."

"Sounds good." Cody said heading for the door.

"I'll have a carafe of coffee sent over." Sonny said also heading for the door. He needed to get home before Alexis started to worry.

"I'll hang out for a while." Jason would only go home and worry.

Francis just nodded and waited to see if the phone rang.

"Hey, has anything happened?" Elizabeth asked when Jason slipped into bed.

"I was trying not to wake you." He said scooting over until they were touching.

"By product of the job. I'm a really light sleeper." Liz said wrapping her arms around her husband to give him comfort. "So?"

"Nothing has changed. Logan still has Georgie in the motel room." Jason said holding his girl tight. When all this was over he would deal with the fear that had ran through him when he realized someone had come to town to hurt Elizabeth. If Milo wasn't so good at his job, Logan might have gotten close to his original target.

"There's a reason you can't go in now?" Liz was guessing. Normally the big concern would be witnesses, but at this particular location a few bills spread around would buy silence.

"Yeah." Jason wasn't going to go into why. "The good thing is that Logan hasn't hurt Georgie, and Marco said she doesn't sound like anything happened before we got set up."

"Good. That will be helpful for Johnny to know." Liz said rubbing Jason's back. "Turn it off for a few hours. You need some sleep so that you can plan how to best get Georgie back."

"Cody thinks he has something that will work." Jason said softly. He had ended up staying until the enforcer came to relieve Francis. Cody wasn't worried about the motel. Marco had that. The big concern was nabbing Logan alive. Early in the morning Cody was heading over to the where the van was watching the building. He wanted to be there if Logan came out.

"Cody's smart, so it probably will work." Liz said giving Jason a squeeze. "Turn it off."

"I love you." Jason said urging his wife closer.

"I love you." Liz tucked up under his chin and let herself drift off to sleep. Her last thought was a pray for Georgie's safe return.

Thanks for the reviews!
