A/N: This picks up where the last chapter left off.
I almost rewrote the last chapter and this one to go along with what was going on especially with Sam sleeping with Jason, but I decided to go total AU. I just see Sam tranqing Jason in the middle of everything. Seems possible because she woke up on the total opposite side of the bed instead of cuddling like her and Drew always did. I see her going it alone trying to figure out who 'Jason' really is. By the time Drew admitted that he missed her she was already committed to the path she finds herself on and she doesn't see a way out of it. This is how I chose to see things to be able to stomach what they are doing to the Sam character.
Chapter 16
A.J. and Sonny looked up at the mention of Alcazar.
"If he is an Alcazar," Drew began. "All of us are in danger, including all of our families. We must get security on this right away. Especially for your mother."
"I will do some searching and get back with you." Chuck said then the screen went blank.
"You have to warn Carly," A.J. said. "She was married to Lorenzo. She could be on his hit list."
"Don't you worry your pretty little head about it." Sonny said from the floor with derision. "I can protect my wife."
"Are you sure she wants to stay your wife?' A.J. taunts. "You are having an affair with the new D.A. Besides, she is the mother of my child. I do care about what happens to her even though she did cover for you when you tried but failed to kill me."
"You are only alive right now because that freak Faison wanted you for his experiments." Sonny taunted back.
"Will you both just shut up!" Sam finally got sick of hearing their voices. "I will go warn Carly. Sonny, you get your security on her and everyone in the family. Increase it if you have too."
"Please be careful," Drew said to her as he pulled her into a hug. "I know you have your tail but just be careful."
"I will," Sam smiled at him and kissed him on the lips. "What do you plan to do with them?"
"We are going to have a little talk before anyone leaves here." Drew told her.
"Have fun," She said as she went out the front door making a phone call as she went. She stopped and turned to A.J. and said, "No warning to Spinelli about any of this. It is time he learned a lesson about interfering in my life."
"Now," Drew looked at the two men. "Where do we start? If you two can't co-exist, you two might as well kill each other now because you will make it easier for Hector to take both of you out if you are going at each other."
"A.J." Drew continued. "For Mom's sake, I would like to keep you alive this time because I don't think she can take losing you again. Especially when we are dealing with not knowing what happened to Jason."
"And you," Drew addressed Sonny. "You owe A.J. You shot him and almost killed him because you believed he killed Connie. That turned out to be false, didn't it?"
"No, he didn't kill Connie," Sonny admitted. "But I did walk in on him choking her before that."
After Drew looked at A.J. for a response, he said, "I was angry and drunk, which is a bad combination. I shouldn't have gone near her while I was drinking."
"Wait," Drew said with surprise. "Did you remember that?"
A.J. looked down while thinking about it. "Yes, I think I did. Sonny never really gave me the details. He just said he walked in on A.J. trying to kill Connie for running the story about Kiki not being a Quartermain."
"Good, you are remembering some things on your own." Drew said. "Peter should be here soon to start deprograming you. He will be able to tell you how long it should take."
"So, Mom knows I am A.J.?" A.J. asked Drew.
"Yes," Drew answered. "I told her as soon as I had the DNA and body scan results."
"Hey!" Sonny interrupted from his spot on the floor. "Can we get to some kind of plan instead of me being forced to listen to you two catch up?"
Drew crossed his arms and looked down at Sonny. "I meant what I said Sonny, A.J. is off limits. Not just during this high security situation but also after. After what you and Carly have put him through, he deserves some peace. After that if he messes up again that will be on him and not you. Michael is an adult and can and will make his own decisions about who is in his life."
"What is the plan to deal with this Hector?" Sonny asked as he attempted to stand up as he felt the aspirin begin to work.
"You just increase security for your kids and make sure your family is safe. If it's too much for you I can handle the security for A.J., Carly and Joss." Drew said pointedly.
"I will handle Carly and Joss's security," Sonny snapped. "She is still my wife. If only for now."
Drew looked at A.J. "We need to notify Skye. It might be a good idea for her and Lila Rey to disappear for a while. I am sure the WSB can set them up in a safe house if she wants. If Hector is an Alcazar, Lila Rey is his only living relative that we know of. That could make her a target. We need to take care of these things as soon as we are done here."
Sonny moaned as he stood up completely. "I think we are done here. Drew, if Sam finds Carly please let me know where she is so I can send the increased security to her."
"She has security right now." Drew told him. "But I will let you know when and where Sam finds her."
"Oh, Sonny," Drew said before Sonny was able to leave the office. "You do anything to interfere in this case you will regret it. Add the extra security and go about your business as usual. Dante is on the WSB team that has been assigned to this case. I don't think Olivia will appreciate it if you do something stupid to get her son killed."
After watching Sonny walk out the door, Drew sent another message through the server that someone needed to watch Sonny closely for any signs he might interfere.
Metro Court
"Carly!" Sam said with exasperation. "We were not finished."
"Yes," Carly told her as she looked up at her from her desk in her office. "We are so finished."
"If you would have stayed," Sam tried to reason. "I was about to tell you why we needed all that bed hopping out in the open and feelings dealt with."
"None of that needed to be brought out in the open, Sam!" Carly insisted. "I wasn't ready to confront Sonny with what I knew. Then I had to find out about A.J. I still don't think that is true."
"Why were you pushing me and A.J. together while you were sleeping with him?" Sam found herself asking Carly forcefully.
"I thought he was Jason," Carly said. 'I wanted him to have everything back that he lost when he was taken from me even if that meant taking everything from Drew."
"Do you hear yourself?" Sam asked with exasperation. "'taken from Me!' He was my husband, I thought. Why were you pushing me toward him while sleeping with him yourself?"
"It was just supposed to be a one-time thing." Carly admitted guiltily. "I thought Drew was moving on with Kim and you needed to give up this idea that you needed to find yourself before moving on with Jason."
"I think if it wasn't for the fact that you and A.J. are so much alike you would be perfect for each other." Sam said heatedly.
"Why didn't you tell me he was A.J. as soon as you suspected?" Carly yelled as she got in Sam's face. "I thought we were friends now."
Sam shoved Carly back before replying. "We have never been friends. We just tolerated each other for Jason's sake, even when we thought he was dead. And I didn't tell you because you are a hot head, you wouldn't have believed me anyway and you were too busy trying to run our lives. The fewer people that knew about it the better. We had to find out what he was after before we exposed him. Then when we found out he was A.J., we realized that he would be safer from you and Sonny if you guys didn't know who he was."
"What if we were all in danger from him?" Carly demanded hotly. She moved in closer to Sam "Did you even think about that."
"Why do you think we had him followed 24/7?" Sam answered taking a deep breath. "Now back off. We are too old to be wrestling it out on the floor like the good old days, but I will if you don't step back. I have taken enough crap from you this last year and so has Drew."
"You and Sonny need to deal with your bed hopping quickly." Sam continued. "We have more important things to deal with."
"What things?" Carly asked sarcastically as she moved back a little. "Did Drew finally confess to you how much closer he has been getting to Kim. You know you might want to be a little more worried about them instead of what has been going on between 'Jason' and I."
"You mean you and A.J." Sam taunted.
"Drew and Kim have been spending a lot of time together," Carly said smugly ignoring what Sam said. "They have been bonding over their dying son. Who knows where that will lead? They have been looking mighty cozy with each other."
"Don't take it out on me because you are angry at Sonny and A.J and more importantly yourself." Sam insisted. "Although, A.J. is the most innocent of all of you because he didn't have a choice in what was done to him. You and Sonny owe him for what you both did to him."
"I wasn't talking about Drew when I said we had more important things to discuss." Sam was determined not to go off topic again. "One of the men that is behind this plot is almost certainly an Alcazar. If he is, we are all in danger. Most of his team has been taken out but that could make him even more dangerous."
"If you, A.J. and Sonny were fighting over your affairs when this guy comes after us," Sam emphasized 'us' by pointing back and forth, "the more likely mistakes are going to be made and someone is going to get killed."
"Did you say Alcazar?" Sam turned and saw Alexis in the open doorway of Carly's office.
"Yes, I did," Sam confirmed. "Drew is making sure you have extra security as well as the girls until this situation is resolved.
"I don't need any security," Carly insisted. "I didn't do anything to either one of the Alcazar brothers."
"But you didn't help them either and Hector may not see it that way." Sam pointed out. "I think his plan was to use A.J. against you and Sonny. He did a really good job so far, but I am sure he had more planned than driving a wedge between you and Sonny. He can use you to get to Sonny."
"I really don't care," Carly told them. "I just want you two out of my office. You delivered your message now you can go."
"Fine," Sam said. "When we find the REAL Jason, I will be sure to send him your love,"
Alexis pulled Sam out of Carly's office before the situation became violent and they didn't speak until they were on the elevator.
"As much as I loathe to agree with Carly about anything," Alexis said with hesitation. "She might be right about Drew and Kim."
"What makes you say that?" Sam asked with confusion.
"When I went to Charlie's earlier," Alexis told her. "Julian and Drew were fighting. Julian broke up with Kim because he saw Drew and Kim kiss New Year's Eve."
Before Sam could respond her phone beeped with a message. She looked down and it was a message from Drew. She looked up at Alexis with a grin, "This explains the kiss."
Alexis looked at her in confusion. "It was a test to see if she would finally admit that they were never a couple. I haven't had the chance to tell you, but Oscar isn't Drew's son. Drew has his memories of that time when he knew her, and they were just friends."
"I think it is time for Drew and me to discuss moving our family back into our house," Sam said to the still shocked Alexis.
Sam proceeded to text Drew back and let him know that Carly was in her office for now and being very stubborn. Then she sent a secure message to Chuck and Frisco to see how the plans for Spinelli were coming. It was time for all of them to learn a lesson about messing with her family. She knew that Frisco, Felicia and Mac agreed with her because Spinelli's little stunt if not dealt with could cause problems with getting Nathan back.
Seattle, Washington
Spinelli looked at his computer screen observing his handy work. He was back into Sam's phone deleting a message that just came in from Drew. Too bad he wasn't able to read it to let Stone Cold know what they were discussing. Then he noticed it was time to get ready to get Georgie from school when someone started knocking on the door loudly.
When he opened the door, he was surprised to see Felicia Scorpio at his door with two rather large men in black suits behind her.
"I was about to go get Georgie from school," Spinelli started to explain why he wasn't letting them in.
"That's not necessary," Felicia told him as she swept past him into the apartment. The two men stood at the front door after they came in and closed it. "Mac went to pick Georgie up from school."
"They will not let him go pick her up without permission from me." Spinelli insisted.
Felicia looked at him sympathetically, but he really deserved to be taught a lesson. "Mac has a court order that says he is to get Georgie and take her to Port Charles to be with Maxie."
"For what possible reason would she have to get a court order to see Georgie," Spinelli asked with frustration. "If she wanted a visit all she had to do was ask.
"Spinelli," Felicia put her hand on his shoulder. "You are being arrested for obstruction of justice."
"But why," He asked with surprise, "And why would you be here for that?"
"Frisco is pressing the charges." Felicia answered him. "When you tampered with Sam's phone you kept her from getting information on a case she is working on with the WSB, CIA and NSA."
"How could she be working on a case like that and not tell me?" He asked her in a hurt voice.
"That is something you will have to ask her at some point." Felicia told him. "I am here to explain the charges against you and pack Georgie's things."
"But I don't understand," Spinelli whispered to Felicia. "How are they so sure I did it?"
"You left a trail." She explained. "The computer expert that Frisco has apparently found it easy to pick it up."
"There is no way," Spinelli was still whispering to her, then he boasted. "No one is my equal when it comes to hacking and covering my tracks."
"Spinelli," Felicia was beginning to get frustrated with him. "I think after so many years of you doing this type of work for Sam and Jason made you full of yourself. There is obviously someone out there that is better than you."
"The only person is the Piranha and he disappeared many years ago with only brief appearances every few years." He insisted.
"All I know is they have worked with the CIA and NSA for years," Felicia tried to explain to him. "They are the computer expert on a joint task force that Sam is also a part of."
"I will just call Stone Cold," Spinelli said with confidence as he took his phone out of his pocket. "He will get Diane to get me out of this."
While Spinelli was making his call, Felicia shook her head and went to Georgie's room and began gathering things her granddaughter would need in Port Charles.
"It didn't even go to voice mail," Spinelli said shell shocked a few minutes later. "I even tried to call Valkyrie and Mr. Sir and same thing. It just rang and rang."
"That's because they are not getting your calls." Felicia explained to him.
"Why ever not!" He exclaimed. "I have the right to a phone call to get me a lawyer."
"You will have to make do with a court appointed attorney." Felicia told him. "You see, Spinelli, I am also a part of this task force. This case is personal to all of us on it and we don't trust you not to interfere with our progress. We also don't trust Stone Cold, Mr. Sir or Valkyrie so you all have to be neutralized."
He gulped as he watched her zip up Georgie's suitcase and walked out of the bedroom.
"But, Mrs. Scorpio," he ran after her. "How is this right?"
"But, Mr. Spinelli," Felicia said condescendingly. "How is it right that you get away with interfering in an investigation that could have negatively affected Maxie's life."
"So," Felicia continued, "Here is what is going to happen. You are going to go to jail and be cooperative. You will stay there until this case is completely solved. When this is over you will find out what it has all been about and not before. I will tell them to give you five minutes to leave Ellie a note before they take you to jail."
He just stood there stunned for several moments before he went to send his Ellie an email.
A/N: Sorry. I have actually had this much of the chapter written for over a week. I was going to put Drew confronting Kim at the end of this put changed my mind because I am having problems with it. First, I got a call from one of the newspapers and they needed me to recreate all the editorial copy for a travel magazine because all the word documents were on a HD that went down. Then when I was ready to work on this again, I got bronchitis. I just feel like crap.
Never fear though, the fight between Sam and Carly is not even close to being over. We know that Carly and Sonny will not be able to keep themselves from trying to interfere especially when it involves Jason. But how is Jason going to feel when he comes face to face with them both. Then of course, how is Robin going to react to learning she was wrong as well.
