Chapter 64 – Flashback
Robin watched Alexis, Mac, and Felicia run towards them.
"How are they?" Mac asked.
"They are all still unconscious."
"Do you know what they were given?" Felicia asked.
"I just dropped off a sample of the food and we did some blood work. We should know soon," Robin said.
Alexis was beside herself. "What can you tell us?"
"We don't know much. I overheard Jordan talking on the phone. They think it's an inside job and she is convinced it was Helena's doing."
"I'll kill her myself if Kristina is hurt."
Felicia put her hand on Alexis's back. "Robin please update us as soon as you know something."
"I will."
"Can we see her?" Mac asked. He had just gotten Georgie back and he couldn't stand the thought that he could lose her again so soon.
Robin sighed. "No. I'm sorry but we're trying to keep them stable and the police are involved. Jordan wanted them guarded.
"Did Morgan have guards?"
"Yes. They are dead. They were having dinner with friends and it appears that one of them turned against them. It's not Jason's fault Mac."
Felicia grabbed his hand. "We know."
Mac was livid. The point of Georgie being with Jason was to keep her safe.
Alexis looked over at him. "I know what you're thinking, that Georgie wouldn't be in this mess without Jason. The truth is that she wouldn't be alive if it weren't for him. She loves Liz and Jason and they love her. I've seen it."
"Since when are you a Jason fan?"
She took a deep breath, shocked by what she was about to say. She never hated Jason as a person, just his job. "He's changing his life around. He's in love and is so good with the boys. I see the way he cares for everyone around him and it's beautiful actually. The only person to blame for this whole mess is Helena."
There was a flurry of activity and Felicia felt her heart drop.

FLASHBACK
Jason opened the door and welcomed Kristina.
"Whatever is cooking smells so good," she said grinning.
"I wish I could take credit for it but it's all Francis."
Johnny heard a voice and walked into the hallway. "Hey gorgeous."
She smiled. "Hey Johnny."
Jason made a face at her tone and went into the kitchen.
"How's Molly?"
"She's doing a little better. We talked. I think it helped her."
He smiled. "You're a good big sister. I thought she would tag along."
"She wanted to help mom with Danny." Alexis asked if he could spend the night since Sam would be home first thing in the morning.
There was a knock on the door and Johnny got it. "Hey Michael."
They shook hands and Johnny said hi to Sabrina.
Patrick and Epiphany walked in and joined Georgie and Dylan in the living room.
The house was filled with laughter. Francis had brought Diane and they were quite entertaining and definitely flirting.

Jordan stayed to the back of the room as she watched Robin check out Francis who has woken up.
"Jason…." he said trying to sit up.
"Francis, I need you to lay back. You are no good to Jason in your condition."
His head ached. "What happened?"
"You were all given a sedative."
"How?"
"We think it was the food."
Francis frowned. "I cooked."
Jordan moved forward. "Francis, I need to ask you a few questions. Are you up to it?"
"Yes."
"Were you the only one who came in contact with the food?"
He closed his eyes and thought carefully before they quickly snapped open. "No."
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
FLASHBACK
Francis stirred the sauce and Diane took a big whiff of it.
"That smells divine," she said before sipping her wine. "You are a very talented man Francis Corelli."
He smirked. "Thank you. That means a lot coming from you."
She gave him a flirty look. "I can't wait to find out what else you're good at."
He grinned. Diane was different than what he was used too. She was smart, extremely witty, and very confident. "I look forward to showing you."
Jason looked at Johnny. "Are you seeing this?"
Johnny grinned. "She'll eat him alive. It's like watching a vulture circle its prey."
Liz chuckled. "I think Frannie can handle her just fine."
Jason looked over at his girl. "Did you set them up?"
She shrugged. "It seemed like a good idea."
Epiphany came up behind. "What are we whispering about?"
Liz pointed and Epiphany grinned.
"Diane is always on her game. Look at her. She leans in and touches him when he laughs. She licks her lips before she says something flirtatious. My girl could teach a class on getting a man," Piph said smiling.
"Your girl?" Jason asked.
"Are you jealous?" Piph quipped making Liz giggle.
Jason smirked. "No."
Piph smiled. "You have nothing to worry about faux boyfriend. I don't swing that way. We've met a few times for drinks and I've seen her in action." Diane was a riot to go out with.
"Well I think Francis is definitely interested. Look at how he leans over and whispers into her ear," Liz said.
"So he can smell her," Jason said.
Liz frowned. "What?"
"Her perfume, her hair—I do that to you all the time."
Epiphany chuckled.
"I thought you did it just to drive me crazy."
Jason smiled. "That too."
Johnny shook his head. "Did he just rub his face against hers?"
Piph grinned. "Francis has got game."
Francis suddenly looked in their direction and for a second, they all that look that they had been caught and then they pretended they were talking to each other and he started to laugh.
"What?" Diane asked.
"We have an audience."
Diane slyly looked over there and back at him. "Do you care?"
Francis smiled. "Not at all."
Dylan, Patrick, and Georgie joined them and a few minutes later, Cam and Jake ran into the room.
"I hungry mommy," Jake said.
"It's almost ready baby."
"Okay," he said before running back to the den.
Cam took a sip of his mom's lemonade. "Good."
"You can have some with your dinner."
He ran off and Francis got everyone's attention.
"Alright, I need someone to stir the sauce for me. Who is game?"
Kristina held up her hand. She had always liked helping her dad. "I'll help."
Francis smiled. "Come on then."
She got up and Jake ran right into her crying. She knelt down. "What's wrong?"
He held out his finger and she kissed it. "Let's get you a bandaid."
Sabrina stood up. "I'll help."
Francis smiled. "Let me show you what to do."
END FLASHBACK
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Francis looked up at Jordan. "Sabrina."
Jordan thought back. "She was there when we showed up. She was sitting next to Michael." She made a call on her walkie for someone to stand outside Sabrina's room. She was now a suspect in the disappearance of the Morgan family.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
One by one, people started waking up.
Georgie opened her eyes and started to panic. A nurse went up to her and tried to call her down.
"You were given a sedative and the police found you and brought you here."
"Is everyone else here?"
She nodded. "From what I know, everyone is here except the Morgan family."
Georgie gasped.
"Let me go get your dad okay?" At that point, they knew what everyone was given and they would be okay. It was just a matter of it wearing off fully. No other drugs had been found.
She nodded.
Mac rushed into the room. "Georgie, thank God you're awake."
Felicia kissed her on the head. "How are you feeling?"
"Groggy. They took the kids too?"
Mac nodded. "Yes. We don't know anything at this point."
She started to cry and Felicia held her.
"Dad, please help find them. I need them to be okay."
It had been a while since he had done any police work, but he'd do anything for Georgie. "Okay."
He walked out and found Jordan. "I want to help."
She was quiet for a minute. Right now, they could use all the help they could get. "Alright, go to Jason's house. Take everything in and see what you get. Dante is still there."
Mac nodded and rushed off. If Helena was involved in this, then the ending would probably not be good.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
FLASHBACK
Everyone dug in and started eating.
"Francis, this is so good," Liz said.
Everyone was either nodding or verbally agreeing as they devoured their food.
Francis was glad everyone liked it. He enjoyed cooking. It relaxed him.
"It is just divine Francis," Diane added.
Johnny grunted his approval, making Kristina laugh.
Once they were finished. The kids ate some cookies while the adults chatted.
Elizabeth looked at Jake. "His eyes look glassy."
Jason looked over at him. "You feeling okay Jake?"
"Sleepy daddy," he said.
Jason smiled. "You've had a busy day."
Cam sighed. "I'm tired too."
Johnny yawned loudly. "It must be the carbs."
Jake nodded off, much to his parent's amazement.
"I can put him down," Liz said, getting up. She wobbled and Dylan grabbed her.
Jason stood up. "You okay?"
There was a crash and everyone looked over at Sabrina, who had fell into her plate.
"What the fuck?" Johnny said. He watched in horror as Liz and Cam passed out and then Kristina.
Francis tried to get up and fell back to the floor and Diane fell forward and collapsed.
Jason went to grab his phone, but Dylan had passed out so he had to grab Elizabeth. He laid her down gently on the floor and that is when it hit him and his body fell to the carpet beside her.
Everyone else passed out and was in various positions.
A few minutes later, Lucky and a group of men descended on the property. The guards were killed and they made their way into the house. They wore masks so they couldn't be identified.
Lucky surveyed the carnage with a sick smile on his face. He leaned down and touched Cam and then Jake. "Get them into the van."
A few men grabbed the boys and cleaned them off and then took them out.
Lucky stroked Elizabeth's face. "Still so beautiful. It's such a shame you have to die." He looked over at Jason and anger started to take over. He stood up and kicked Jason in the ribs. "Asshole."
The guards awaited his instructions and then one picked up Elizabeth and two others grabbed Jason by the arms and pulled him out of the house. They didn't care what happened to his body.
Lucky heard a phone ring at one point and took it from Jason's pocket. "Victor Newman?" he muttered as he read the name. Shrugging, he tossed it and then they got into the van.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Elizabeth started to wake up. When the room finally came into focus, she saw Jason lying in a bed across from her.
"Jason," she yelled as she sat up and grabbed her head.
Slowly she stood and made her way over to him. "Jason, wake up."
It took a few minutes of prodding, but finally, Jason woke up. "What happened?"
"I don't know but we're not home. Someone took us from the house."
Jason was stunned. He went to sit up and pain radiated in his side.
Liz immediately went into nurse mode. "What's hurting?"
"My ribs. It feels like someone kicked me."
Liz lifted his shirt and gasped. "You have a really big bruise. Do you remember fighting anyone?"
"No. The last thing I remember is eating."
She nodded. "Me too." Her face turned into panic and then fear. "The boys."
Jason closed his eyes. This was something he always feared would happen. It killed him that the boys could be in trouble and he hadn't protected them.
"This is my fault. If I had just stayed away from all things Helena….. How long are we going to have to deal with this Jason? I mean, God knows how many people she could have hired to hurt us. It may never stop."
He struggled to sit up and then pulled her into his arms. "We'll get them back. I don't know how they got to us but when I find out who betrayed us…"
She hugged him tighter. "We have to get out of here."
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Lucky walked into their room with two armed men and Liz's mouth dropped open.
"You son of a bitch," she muttered. "What did you do with my boys?"
He smirked. "They're in another room for now."
Jason was clenching his fist, wanting nothing more than to beat Lucky to a pulp and then take his life.
"How in the world did you manage this?" Liz asked. Lucky was an idiot so he had to have help.
Lucky smiled. "Nikolas—partly."
Now Jason was really mad.
"Nikolas helped you kidnapped us?"
"Yes. He wants revenge on Jason."
Jason and Liz looked at each other. Liz noted the look in Jason's eyes. Nikolas was going to die.
"Why are you doing this Lucky?" Jason asked.
"Well, I have lots of reasons. First and foremost is making that bitch pay," he said looking over at Elizabeth. "You turned the kids against me. You gave Cam to that fucking criminal who you repeatedly said was dangerous and too damaged to be around your kids. It disgusted me. Helena kidnapped me and then chipped me to make sure that I would seal the deal."
"How did you poison us?"
Lucky smiled. "Now that was beautiful. You see Helena used one of your friends against you. A while back, she was a mess and went away. Helena decided to use her as spy, knowing she was friends with Elizabeth. So, she brainwashed her and used a chip on her and sent her back to Port Charles where she did get into a little trouble. Thankfully, it didn't end with a jail term. At the right time, Helena activated her chip. Since she wasn't that close with Elizabeth anymore, Edgar gave her information that he knew would suck you in although, he never expected you to open your arms to her so easily—and you call yourself an expert," he said leering at Jason. "You invited her to your house and she took care of the rest."
A tear ran down Liz's face and Jason muttered, "Sabrina." It was probably Helena messing with her brain that made her want to harm Ava and her baby.
"Bingo. And who says you are brain damaged?"
"What are you going to do Lucky?"
Lucky smiled. "Stay tuned. I'll be back to break our permanent lock."
They watched him leave and Jason looked at Elizabeth. They were in trouble and both of them knew that somehow, they would have to find a way to survive this. Lucky wouldn't stop until they were dead.
