Chapter 20 - 25

Chapter 20

Port Charles, NY:

Spoon Island—

Cullen and Grant had ventured out to Spoon Island with Dante to ask Luke and Nik some questions.

“We are sorry to disturb you, but we have a few questions”, Joey said.

“Okay, ask away”; Luke said.

“Do you know if your daughter had a way of contacting Helena on her own”, Cullen asked?

“Not that I know of, Helena is supposed to hate us Spencers”, Luke answered.

“How about you Mr. Cassadine”, Joey asked?

“The only way would be if one of my grandmother’s men contacted Lulu for some unknown reason”, Nik said.

“Could I see the number she used”, Nik asked?

When he had Helena committed in Russia, she had a whole lot of stuff with her, which he’d brought back with him.

He’d thought that everything had been destroyed, but now that he thought more about it, Lulu had been out to see Nik at about that time. She would have had access to all of that stuff.

As he was given the number, his fears had come true. Lulu had been digging where she shouldn’t have been.

He told the feds what he knew, knowing that he was in trouble as well.

After hearing Nik explanation Cullen said, “Mr. Cassadine; you’re not responsible for your sister’s actions”. “She is an adult, and thinks for herself”.

“What are her chances”, Luke asked?

“She will serve time Mr. Spencer”. “But how much will be up to the judge”, Joey said.


Greystone:

“Sir, Jason’s here to see you”, Max told Sonny.

“Go ahead and let him in”, Sonny said. He was prepared for whatever Jason threw at him for helping Cam.

“Sonny, you and I need to talk”, Jason said as he walked in.

“Jason, I’m”; Sonny started to say.

“Sonny, let me go first”, Jason said.

“You need to know that as of now, I’m done cleaning up after Carly”. “I will not help her clean up any more messes”. “I haven’t put my family first, but no more”.

“I have a few things to do first, but then I’m getting my family back”. “So you are on your own when it comes to Carly”, Jason told him.

“And also as of now, I only want to deal with the legit side of the business”, Jason said. He’d finally realized that it was time to get as out of the illegal side as he could get.

“Can I talk now”, Sonny asked?

“Yes”, Jason said.

“Jason, I don’t blame you for putting your foot down concerning Carly”. “I’m done too, she going to have to get herself out of any future trouble”, Sonny told him.

“And, I ‘ll do whatever I can to keep you out of the “other side” of the business from now on”, Sonny said.

“Jason, can you do something for me, then you can start to get your family back”, Sonny asked?

“What”, Jason asked?

“Go home and get some rest before you start the crusade, you look like hell”, Sonny stated.

“Yeah, I’ll go home and get some rest”. “Then I’m going to start getting my family back”, Jason said and then left for home.

After Jason left, Sonny called the guard in the lobby at the Towers, telling Rafe that he wanted to be notified as soon as Jason got on the elevator. He also wanted to be notified when Jason left the building.

After he hung up with Rafe, he called Monica.

Monica, its Sonny.

“What’s up Sonny”, Monica asked?

“All of us need to meet at the mansion, its important”. “Can you call everyone”, Sonny asked?

“Yes, we’ll be here in say about an hour”, Monica said.

“I’ll see you in an hour”, Sonny said and hung up.



Q mansion 1 hour later:

Everyone was waiting in the library when Sonny arrived. He noticed a few people missing and asked: “Where are Jeff, Steven, and Audrey”?

“We need to tell you about that”, Monica said; knowing that she could only tell Sonny about Lulu, as Lulu had been arrested that morning.

“I need to go first”, Sonny said.

“Go ahead”, Alan said.

“We need to tell Jason about Liz and the boys”. “He came to see me today, first to tell me that if Carly gets into trouble; he wouldn’t help her”.

“And secondly, was that he is going to get his family back, so we need to tell him today”, Sonny said.

“Okay, you’re right”; Alexis said. “We need to tell him”.

“Now what is your news”, Sonny asked the group?

“The reason that Jeff, Steven and Audrey are absent is because they left for Seattle last night with Liz”, Monica told the group.

“Why”, Shawn asked?

“Because Lulu hired someone to kill Liz, only Lulu had no clue that the person she hired was an undercover cop”. “She did it so that she could give my son back his children”, Luke said.

“Only none of those 3 children are his”, Nik said.

“WHAT”, everyone but Luke, Nik and the Qs asked?

“It’s true”, Monica said.

“Ric was Cameron’s father, but only on paper”. “Jake is Jason’s son and so is Aiden”, Alan said.

“Why am I not surprised”, Alexis said? “Aiden does look like Jason”.

“I had my suspicions as well”, Emily said; “But I never asked”.

“I was the only one she told”, Georgie said. “She knew they wouldn’t be happy that she had known and they didn’t”.

“Okay, let me explain”; Goergie said.

“Liz was going through so much back then: 1. finding Lucky in bed with Maxie; 2. then finding him in bed repeatedly with Sam. 3. Her dealing with the Fact that she was in love with Jason, but at the time Jason saying that he was in love with Sam. 4. Her and Jason trying to reconnect. 5. Jason tells her that they can’t be a family. 6. the last straw for her was when she found out about Aiden, and went to tell Jason; only for him to be an a**”.

“I was watching the boys 2 nights later”. “She came home from work, she’d run into Jason on her way home”. “When she walked in the door, she fell apart and told me everything”, Georgie said. “She made me promise not to tell anyone”.

“We understand”, Edward said. “That young lady has been through so much, no wonder she didn’t tell anyone”. “She figured we’d all judge her poorly”. “And it sure didn’t help that her parents were never there”.

“At least Jeff is trying now”, Alexis said.

“So, what going to happen to Lulu”, Sonny asked?

“The feds have already arrested her”. “She is being charged with Conspiracy to commit murder and murder for hire”, Luke said.

“She tried to get Luke and myself to help her get out of it, but we refused”, Nik said.

“She’s on her own”.


PCPD:

After Luke and Nik left, the feds started Lulu processing.

Her clothing was taken and she was given an orange jump-suit. All her belongings were taken into evidence as well as her clothing.

She was photographed as well as finger-printed. Then she was placed in a cell to await a Public Defender and arraignment.



Sarah’s Apartment:

Sarah sat on her sofa hoping that either Carly or Lulu would put their respective plan into motion soon. She was getting antsy.

She wanted Jason in her bed and only her bed.



Heaven:

As Lila, Nick and Kenzie were watching as things unfolded on Earth; they all knew that things would now be as they should be soon.

Lila had been tweaking her plan for Carly, Lulu and Sarah. And she also had a feeling that Jason would punish Sarah when he found out about her involvement.



Columbus, OH---- a few days later:

Liz and company spent 3 wonderful days in Columbus, taking in the sights including Magic Mountain and the Columbus Zoo.

Even while she was enjoying the sights herself, he thought would drift to Jason. She wondered if he would come find them. She still loved him, and really did want him in her life and the lives of their children.

PCPD Interrogation Room:

Lulu was at the table with the public defender assigned to defend her.

“Given the very serious charges against you Miss Spencer, I highly advise you to plead no contest”. “And throw yourself on the mercy of the court; Mr. Preston told her”. “The DA is asking for long sentence”.

“I will not plead guilty, you get me out of this”. “I was protecting my brothers best interests”, Lulu yelled.

“The judge may not see it that way, especially considering who you wanted dead”; Mr. Preston told her.



Q Mansion:

Monica and the others were waiting for Jason, who was on his way. She’d called him and asked if she could see him.

Jason arrived, and went in through the terrace. When he saw everyone he turned around to leave.

“Jason wait”, Alan asked. “We need to tell you some things”.

“Okay”, Jason said.

“Jason, we know that you’re going to get Liz and the boys back”; Monica said. “Jason, you’ll have to go to Seattle to get them back”, she told him.

Jason was devastated, he had forced his family to leave because of his behavior.

“I’ll go if I have to, and I plan on staying where they are”, Jason told them.

“There’s more Jason”, Sonny said to him.

“Aiden is yours Jason, Liz has the test results”; Alan said.

“Why didn’t she”…. Jason started to say. “She did try to tell me, but of course I wouldn’t listen”.

“I have one more thing to tell you Jason”, Monica said.

“We had a visit from the feds and Mac a week ago”. “He told us that they were her to arrest Lulu”, Monica said.

“Why”, Jason asked?

“Because she tried to hire someone to kill Liz”, Alan said. He knew that what he’d just told his son would most likely kill him.

“WHAT”, Jason shouted?

“She wanted to give Lucky the boys, and she saw Liz as an obstacle”; Luke said.

“Her brother and I will not be helping her, and Lucky has problems of his own”, Luke told them.

“Everyone, I need to apologize”. “I have been a real a&&”. “I got a big wake -up call thanks to grandmother”. “But I hope that you’ll forgive me for my behavior”, Jason said.

“We forgive you”, they all said. “We’ll help you with Liz”.



Meanwhile @ Greystone:

Carly had just sat down to read the paper when Max announced that Mac was there with some agents to speak to her.

“Send them in Max”, Carly said.

“What do you want Mac”, Carly demanded?

“Carly Corinthos, you are under arrest”; Lt. Grant told her.

Cullen had stayed at the PCPD, as he didn’t want Carly to see him before he was ready for her.

“Max, call Sonny”, Carly said to him.

What Carly didn’t know was that a standing order had been given to all the guards: if Carly was arrested, don’t help her.



Back at the Qs:

Everyone was telling Jason about what his family had been doing since that day at Luke’s.

As everyone was chatting, Alice announced Max.

“Max, what are you doing here”, Sonny asked?

“I came because Mac showed up at the house with the feds”. “They arrested Carly”, Max told his boss.

“Did they say why Max”, Sonny asked?

“No, but as I was waiting for them to leave; I overheard an agent say that she wouldn’t get away with it”, Max said.

“Did they say anything else Max”, Jason asked?

“Boss, I don’t think I should”, Max stated.

“Max, just say it”; Jason demanded.

“That Carly had tried to hire someone to murder Jacob Spencer”, Max said; getting ready for Jason to explode.

“No”, Jason said as he crumbled to the floor.

“How could she”, Jason whispered.

“I want to go and see how she thinks she’ll get out of this one”, Luke said.

“Well she won’t be getting any help from me”, Jason whispered.

“Me either”, Sonny said.



Later @ PCPD:

Carly was sitting in the interrogation room when Sonny and the others arrived.

“Mac”, Sonny said.

“Are you going to try and get her out of this Sonny”, Mac asked?

“No Mac, she is on her own”; Sonny stated.

“What about you Jason”, Mac asked?

“HE$$ No”, Jason told Mac.

“Can we talk to her Mac”, Jason and Sonny asked?

“5 minutes, that’s all you get”, Mac told them.



Interrogation Room:

“Hello Carly”, they both said not looking very happy.

“Get me out of here Sonny”, Carly demanded.

“I’m afraid that I can’t do that Carly and neither can Jason”, Sonny stated.

“And why the he** not”, Carly asked?

“Because Carly, you went after Jake”; Jason said.

“But, I was trying to save you”, she explained.

“No, you were trying to take what matters most away from me; and mind you for your own selfish reasons”, Jason said. “And you will regret it”.

Then Jason and Sonny walked out of the room.

“Mac, I want to see Lulu”, Jason said.

“It’s okay”, Joey told Mac. “He can see her, I don’t think he’ll do anything”.

So Mac took Jason to see Lulu.

“I’ll give you 10 minutes Jason”. “Thanks Mac”, Jason said.

“I want answers Lulu”. “You and Elizabeth were family”. “Why would you want her dead”?

“I’m not the only one Jason”, Lulu sneered. “Carly and Sarah want her gone too”.

“What does Sarah have to do with this Lulu”, Jason asked?

“When I went to see Carly that day, Sarah was already there”. “Before she left, Sarah told Carly that her plan had better work because she wanted you and Carly wanted you focused only on her”, Lulu told Jason.

“But you had other plans didn’t you Lulu”? “You wanted the love of my life dead”. “Just so you know, I would be watching over my shoulder from now on if I were you”.

With that new info, Jason walked away. Back upstairs he joined Sonny and they left.


A/N: Just so everyone knows, everything that happens with Liz and the boys takes place at the time stuff in Port Charles occurs: give or take for time difference. There are days in between each city they visit, as I have never been to most of the locales. There are going to be some events that were created for the flow of the story. As I said at the beginning, throw out everything you think you know about GH. I am taking creative License here.




Chapter 21

Chicago, ILL:

They had taken the boys to the John G Shedd Aquarium. They all had lots of fun. There were other sites to see too. Liz now felt that the boys were doing better. Cam had even told his mom that if Jason came back, that he would be able to forgive him, but that it might take longer for Cam to trust him again.


Port Charles, NY:


After leaving the police station 3 days ago, Jason had started planning. Carly, Lulu and Sarah would be punished. All three would know that he was responsible.


PCPD:

Carly was sitting in her cell going over the events of the past few days.

Since Sonny and Jason had refused to help, she had been given a lawyer provided by the court.

He had advised her to plead guilty, but she had refused. So now she would have to face a trial.

How had her life fallen apart so fast? It was all Elizabeth Webber’s fault.

Why couldn’t Liz have died when she drank that poison for Lucky and Nik years ago?


Courthouse:

Today was Lulu’s day in court. She had decided the night before, that she would plead. She was afraid. Jason had really scared her. She figured that she would be safer in prison. Her lawyer was right. She would take her punishment and start over.

“Mr. Preston, how does your client plead”; the judge asked?

“Your honor, she pleads guilty”; Lulu’s attorney stated. “She also waves her right to trial”.

“Alright since that’s the case, I will start sentencing”.

“On count one: Conspiracy to commit murder; I sentence you to 5 years”.

“On count two: murder for hire; I sentence you to 5 years”.

“These sentences will be served consecutively”. “After that your will have 5 years of probation”.

“I really hope that after you serve your time that you will show some remorse for those you tried to hurt”, the judge said.



Sarah’s Apartment:

She had heard that both Lulu and Carly had been arrested. She’d also found out that Liz had taken the boys and moved out of state.

She had been surprised when no one came to arrest her. Both Lulu and Carly had kept their mouths shut about her involvement. She was free to have Jason.

But unbeknownst to Sarah, Jason was planning her demise. Sarah would be punished for her part in what almost happened.



Greystone:

“Sonny, I want you to buy me out”, Jason said. “Are you sure that is what you want”, Sonny asked him?

“Yes, I am going to go to Seattle and get Liz and the kids back”, Jason said.

“Okay, I’ll buy you out, but I want to give you a piece of advice”. “Wait until after Lulu and Carly are sent to Bedford Hills”. “I also know that you have plans for Sarah”. “So I would say wait until after that, then go and get your family back”. “Sarah is going to be a threat until then”. “Especially once she realizes that you are not going to be with her”, Sonny said.

“You’re right; I do have plans for Sarah”. “I also think you’re right about waiting”. “Carly may still try something”. Sonny I need you to know that Carly and Lulu will be punished by me as well, they went after my family”, Jason said.

“I know Jason, and I don’t blame you”. “Carly really crossed the line this time”.

“So what are your plans for after I buy you out and you get your family back”, Sonny asked?

“I think that I may ask grandfather if I can run something in Seattle”, Jason said.

“So you’re really let the Qs back in”, Sonny asked?

“Yes, I am”. “I have been running from them for too long, and I have realized that grandmother was right”. “Yes, I left and took the Morgan name, but I am still a Quartermaine; and I always will be, Jason said”.


Chapter 22


PCPD:

Carly knew that she was running out of time. She had one last thing she could try, she’d get rid of Liz and her brats if it was the last thing she did.

With that in mind Carly asked to make a phone call. When the guard left her, she called someone who would do whatever she wanted.

“I need you to eliminate Liz Webber and her children”, Carly said to person on the other end of the line. “I want them gone before I face the judge”.

“It will be taken care of”, her caller said and then she hung up. “That’ll teach Liz to try to take Jason away from me”, Carly said and was led back to her cell.

Carly had no idea that the feds were monitoring any and every call that she made or received; as well as all her visitors. So as soon they heard what she’d said, they were in contact with Liz.

Agent Cullen informed her to stay put and they would be sending agents to her. And they assured her that nothing would happen to her or her children.

The charges were really adding up against Carly. Now all they could do was wait, and hope that they got the guy she’d hired before it was too late.


After leaving Greystone, Jason headed to ELQ to talk to Edward. He needed to make peace with the Qs; they were his family after all. And they supported Liz and the boys.


ELQ Headquarters:

“Sir, Jason Morgan is here to see you”, Edward’s secretary said.

“Please send him in”, Edward told her.

“Jason, what can I help you with my dear boy”; Edward asked really trying not to call him a deviant.

“I was wondering if there might be something in Seattle that you could let me run after I get Liz and they boys back”. “I plan on staying out there with them”, Jason said.

“What about Sonny and the mob”, Edward asked?

“I am getting out, well as out as I can get”. “Sonny is going to buy me out”. “And I am going to go and arrange to let the others know that I will not be getting back in”, Jason told his grandfather.

Give me a few days and I see what I have for you, Edward told Jason.



Later that day:

Michael had been staying out of what had been happening with his family, as he and his brother didn’t understand all of it. They knew that Jake was their uncle Jason’s. He had a feeling that the reason Uncle Jason wasn’t with Liz and the boys was because of his mom. His mom just didn’t know how to stay out of other people’s lives. She thought that she had to run everyone, and control who was in their lives. She was now finding out that she would not be able to do that anymore.

He also knew that he, Morgan, Kristina and Molly had also been a part of keeping Jason from his family. Morgan was all for Liz and the boys. He was one of their cheerleaders. Kristina and Molly were as well.

He had watched his siblings and Molly the last several weeks; and could see that they all were missing Liz and the boys. Kristina and Molly were friends with them. Morgan was best friends with Cam.

He had just come to the realization that Morgan and the girls had rubbed off on him. He was no longer seeing things through skewed glasses, unlike his mother. He, Morgan, Kristina and Molly were going to go and apologize to Jason and hope that they could help him with his family.

Michael, being 10 years older than his siblings; knew more about the fact that they were as much to blame for keeping his uncle away from his family as his parents are.



Jason’s Penthouse:


Jason had just sat down to tweak his plans when there was a knock at the door. When he went to answer it he saw Michael and the others. He hoped that they didn’t need his help.

“Uncle Jason”, Michael said. “Can we talk to you”?

“Okay, you guys aren’t in any trouble are you”, Jason asked?

“No, we came to apologize for some things”, Michael said.

“What do you guys have to be sorry about”, Jason asked them?

“Because we took up all of the extra time you had”. “And you could have spent that with your family”, Michael said.

“Mom took you away from your family and the four of us inadvertently helper her”. “And for that we’re all sorry”, Michael said.

“Jason, I didn’t know until a few days ago, that by spending time with you; that I was hurting Cam, who is my best friend”, Kristina said wise for her years.

“How can we help you get back with your family Uncle Jason”, Michael asked?

“Don’t worry about that guys, I am working on that as we speak”, Jason said.

“But if there is anything that you would like me to take to them, let me know and I’ll come get it before I leave”, Jason said.

So the four kids left, thinking that they would make some cards and such; to send with Jason. They all wanted to apologize to Liz too.



Milwaukee, WI:

The Webber family had been enjoying themselves on this trip. spending time as a family. Jeff had gotten time to really get to know his grandchildren, but also was able to get to know his daughter again.

He knew that his daughter was still in love with Jason. He hoped that for her sake that Jason would come back to her. Liz needed Jason needed her. Jeff wasn’t blind he could see it; they were the other half of each other’s heart.

They had gotten in Milwaukee last night. They planned to take the boys to Discovery World today. Tomorrow would be the East Troy Electric Railroad, and the day after that would be Laser Tag @ Kids In Motion. Steven would get creamed.


Steven’s Hotel Room:

Steven had just gotten off the phone. He’d received a courtesy call from Mac.

Mac wanted to let them know that Lulu had been arrested. Carly had been as well. Mac told him that Luke and Nik had refused to help Lulu. He also told Steven that Sonny and Jason were refusing to help Carly. Steven had been surprised at that news.

Mac asked Steven to let Liz know that she wouldn’t need to come back for Lulu’s trial. That Lulu had pled guilty.

Steven knew Liz had been dreading the prospect of having to face Lulu. She had loved the girl.

Steven just hoped that Jason would come back to his sister. She always put on a smile for those around her, but she wasn’t truly happy without Jason.




Chapter 23


3 Days Later----


Jason’s Penthouse:

Jason had just finished eating lunch when Kenzie appeared. “Dad, please don’t run”, Kenzie said. “I’m not afraid kiddo”, Jason said with a small smile.

“You’ve been trying to watch out for all of us haven’t you”, Jason asked? He knew that she had her mothers’ gift of wanting everyone safe and happy.

“Yes, only because I love you all so much”. “I wish I had survived”. “Then you and mom would have been together sooner”. “I wouldn’t have let Carly do all the mean things she’s done to mom over the years”, Kenize said. Not realizing that her dad didn’t know about all the things Carly had done.


“What do you mean all the things Carly has done to your mom”, Jason asked?

“She was always yelling at mom whenever she saw her”. “Saying that she wasn’t good enough for her “Best Friend”. “She said hurtful things about Cam, Jake and Aiden too”. “Saying that Cam was illegitimate; that Jake really wasn’t yours, and that Aiden was just some random man’s baby”. “She also said that mom was an unfit mother”. “She made mom cry, and I’ll always hate her”.

Jason hadn’t had any idea that Carly had been attacking Liz whenever she got the chance. Carly would pay for that. All 3 of his boys were precious gifts. Anyone who loved them could see that. As far as Jason was concerned, Carly was the unfit mother. And that gave Jason an idea.

“Dad, I need you to know something”. “Yes, mom has been though a lot over the years, but you need to stop blaming yourself”. “It wasn’t entirely your fault”. “Things happen, but you have to remember that life isn’t safe”; she said to her dad.

“You didn’t have to step in and claim me, but you did”. “I’ll always love you for that”, Kenzie said.

“My claiming you wasn’t hard; I loved your mom even back then”. “I would’ve done it even if I hadn’t loved her”, Jason said.

“I’m planning on getting them back”, he told her.

“We know”, Kenzie said. “We’ve been watching”.

“Great Grandma Lila is plotting”, Kenzie said. “She has all of heaven in an uproar over it”. “Nick thinks that she’ll be in big trouble when it’s over”.

“I’ll bet, my grandmother can be devious”, Jason said with a laugh.

“Kenzie, have you been to see your brothers”, Jason asked?

“I have, I talked to Cam”. “He is doing better”. “I looked in on Jake and Aiden, they’re healthy”, Kenzie told him.

“Have you talked to your mom”, Jason asked her? “You’re never far from her thoughts”.

“Not yet, I’m waiting until they’re settled in Seattle”. “I don’t want to scare her half to death”, Kenzie said.

“I have to go dad, but always remember that I love you, all of you, she said”; then she was gone.



Greystone:

Sonny had spent the last several days making it possible for Jason to “get out”. They had met with the five families, and the families agreed to let him out, with the stipulation that he could not get back in. If he did, all bets would be off.

So now Sonny was buying Jason out. He’d bought him out of the “business” two days before. And just now he’d finished buying him out of the coffeehouse.

He would miss Jason, but Jason deserved to be happy. And he was happiest when he was with Liz and their boys.


Heaven:

Lila knew that Lulu had been sentenced, and was now serving her time. She knew that her grandson had a plan for Lulu, and what he had planned would work with what she was planning just fine. Lulu would indeed be punished for what she’d tried to do.


Bedford Hills Women’s Correctional Intuition:

Lulu had just begun to serve her sentence. It was her sixth day there. She had told herself that she wasn’t going to make wave, just serve her sentence.

Suddenly someone slipped into her cell. The next thing Lulu knew she’d been stuck with something. And she was told that it was from Jason for what she’d tried to do to his family.

A minute later she couldn’t move. Then she was told that the drug had paralyzed her, that it was permanent. She would be aware of everything that happened around her, but wouldn’t be able to participate.

After watching what had just happened to Lulu, Lila sent a message to Stavros and Logan. They were to start their part of the plan. Lilia had changed her plan slightly after she’d learned what her grandson had planned for Lulu. Stavros and Logan had been ordered to scare her just a little; she felt that what Jason had to her was a more fitting punishment.



Chapter 24

The next stops that the Webber family made were in

Minneapolis, MN:

They went to the Minnesota Zoo, The Mall of America, and the Children’s Theater Co. The Boys loved the Zoo and the Theater. Liz and Audrey had fun at the Mall of America.


Bismarck, ND:

They went to the Gateway to Science Center and Raging Rivers Water-park. They all had fun at the water-park. Cam had a blast at the Science Center.

Montana:

They decided to make detour when they reached Miles City. They drove up to Great Falls and took the boys to Giant Spring Park and the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center. After that they headed to Missoula and stayed the night.


Coeur D’ Alene, ID:

In Coeur D’ Alene, they went to Figpickles Toy Emporium, where Liz purchased each of the boys a toy.



Port Charles:

The evidence was really piling up against Carly. Her trial would be starting in a week or so. There was so much evidence that Cullen was very confident that they would get a conviction.

They had even gotten a break when they caught the hit man the Carly had hired via a phone call from the jail. They had gotten to him before he could even leave the state. They had been shocked when they’d arrested Max Gambetti. But when they’d done some digging, they’d found that Carly had him hood-winked. He would do whatever Carly wanted. And they had offered him a deal in exchange for his testimony against Carly.

And since their case was air-tight, Cullen decided to go and see Sonny about the deal that the feds wanted to offer him. So agent Cullen headed to Greystone.



Greystone:

“Sonny, Agent Cullen is here to see you”, Marco told his boss.

“Send him in Marco”, Sonny told him.

“What can I do for you Agent Cullen”, Sonny asked?

First off, you need to know that one of your guards, a Max Gambetti, was arrested late last night. Your ex wife called him and order him to take out Elizabeth Webber and her family. He was arrested trying to get on a plane bound for Seattle, Cullen said.

Oh God, I guess I know now, that she really had him wrapped around her finger. He always had a crush on her, and when -ever she was around he would act like a love sick puppy. Do worry Agent Cullen, I will not be helping either of them. Max made his bed he can lie it, it serves him right for falling for her swill, Sonny Said.

What else can I help you with, Sonny asked?

“Mr. Corinthos, the US government would like to make a deal with you”, Cullen Said.

“What kind of deal”, Sonny asked curiously?

“Would you be willing to help us take down drug traffickers”, Cullen asked?

“We know that you try not to bring in drugs, so what do you say”, Sam asked again?

Cullen had been right about how he and Jason not allowing drugs to come into Port Charles; he had seen first-hand what happened when drugs came into the equation.

“Okay, you have a deal, but how do we deal with the 5 families”, Sonny asked?

Cullen had heard about the 5 families, and had been told by his superiors that they just wouldn’t tell the 5 families anything. “We are not going to tell them anything”. “We will protect your family”, Sam told Sonny.



Q Mansion:

Since the evening that Jason found out about Liz, he’d been reconnecting with the Qs. He had finally started to call Alan and Monica mom and dad; for which they couldn’t have been more thrilled about.

Things with Edward were at times tense, but he knew that Liz loved the Qs. And his grandmother would be proud.

She hadn’t come to him again, but he knew that she was watching. She also knew that part of whatever she’d been planning had happened.

He’d gotten word that his punishment for Lulu had been carried out. Yesterday he’d been informed that aside from his punishment, Lulu was completely catatonic. He believed that his grandmother had accomplished that particular event.

He’d gotten word that Carly’s trial would be starting soon. After she was sentenced, she’d be out of his life. He had a few surprises planned for his so called best friend. He’d already arranged for the judge to be paid, as well as guaranteeing a very harsh sentence.

He’d made any funds not connected to Sonny disappear. So would have no means of helping herself once inside. So she was nearly broke.

Jason had sold his penthouse back to Sonny. All of what he owned was packed up and waiting to go with him to Seattle when he left. He was now staying with the Qs.



Chapter 25

Greystone:

Sonny figured he’d better tell Jason about Max, before he heard it from someone else.

“Jason”, its Sonny.

“What do you need Sonny”, Jason asked?

“I felt that you needed to know about something that Agent Cullen told me”, Sonny said.

“Jason, they arrested Max, Carly conned him into killing Elizabeth and her family”. “He was arrested at the airport trying to board a plane to Seattle”, Sonny said not knowing what Jason would do.

“I’ll deal with him Sonny”, Jason said and then hung up. Max will pay for this. He’d let his crush on Carly go to his brain, Jason decided he wouldn’t live long.

The Webber family had finally crossed into Washington State. They pulled into Spokane at 8 pm. So after a good night’s sleep they took the boys to Wonderland Family Fun Centre. And they all had lots of fun.

Steven had finally told Liz about Lulu’s pleading guilty; as well as the fact that Lulu had been attacked after being at Bedford Hills. He then told her about how the authorities believed that Helena was responsible for the attack. But Liz didn’t believe that for a second. She knew Jason was responsible, but she didn’t say anything. She knew it was his way of protecting their family.

The next day they took the boys to Surf N Slide Water-park as well as some other sites in Moses Lake, WA. Cam had finally told her that even though Jason would have to earn his trust again, that he still loved his dad.


3 days later----

They finally pulled up in front of their new home in Seattle. They slept on the floor that first night. It took them a week to get everything unpacked and where Liz and the boys wanted. A week later; Jeff, Steven and Audrey returned to Port Charles.

That night as Liz was finishing a load of laundry, she received a visitor.

“Mom”, Kenzie said.

“Kenzie are you really here”, Liz asked?

“Yes, I’m really here”. “I know that you still miss me”. “I also know that you carry around a lot of guilt about what happened to me, but mom it wasn’t your fault”, Kenzie said.

“I’m okay”. “I have a lot of people up there who love me: Great Grandpa Steve, Great Grandma Lila, your friend Zander and many more”.

“Mom, I’ll always love you”, Kenzie told her.

“I’ll always love you too”, Liz told her daughter.

“Mom, I have some things that I need to tell you”. “First, before you left PC, I came to see Cam”, Kenzie said.

“You talked to Cam”, Liz asked?

“Yes, we had a very nice chat”, Kenzie said.

“I also went to see dad”, Kenzie said; hoping her mom wouldn’t be mad.

“The first time was part of Great Grandma Lila’s plan”, Kenzie said.

“What plan was that”, Liz asked?

“Gran decided that dad needed to see some things, so I helped”. “I can’t tell you anymore than that”, Kenzie said.

“I saw him again a few days ago”, Kenzie said.

“How was he”, Liz asked?

“He’s okay”, Kenzie said. “But he has sold everything to Sonny”. “He’s also made peace with his family”.

“He did, what is he planning”; Liz asked out loud?

“Mom, he’s going to come back to you”. “Will you allow him to”, Kenzie asked?

“Yes, I’ll let come back, although it going to take some time”. “And it’ll be harder for Cam”. “Your dad’s going to have to earn Cam’s trust again”, Liz said.

“Mom, I have to go, but remember that I love you all”, Kenzie said; then she was gone.

Liz realized that she now could let go of all the guilt she’d been carrying around about what happened to her daughter.

So Jason had finally chosen them, and would be coming home.



Port Charles:

Audrey, Jeff and Steven had just arrived back in Port Charles; each returning to their own homes.

Audrey had just walked in the front door when Kenzie appeared to her.

“Grams”, Kenzie said.

“Who are you”, Audrey asked?

“It’s me, McKenzie”, Kenzie said.

“Oh, my first great grandchild”, Audrey said.

“Grams, I just came to let you know that mom and my brothers are going to be just fine”, Kenzie to her. Then she was gone. And with that Audrey knew that Jason was returning to his family, where he belonged.

Kenzie then went to see her grandpa Jeff and Uncle Steven, telling them the same message. Jeff hadn’t been worried to begin with. He knew that somehow, Jason would choose his family. Steven did too.

Greystone:

Agent Cullen had arrived to fill Sonny in on how all of this would work.

“How is this going to work Cullen”, Sonny asked?

“Well, this is how this is going to work”. “You will give us any and all info pertaining to drugs coming in or out”. “We are putting measures in place so that the families won’t find out that the info came from you”. “But we are going to ask that some of our guards go undercover within your organization, so that we can monitor your safety”, Cullen said.

“And so that you know, you can back out at anytime”, Cullen said. “We understand the risks involved with this, you have small children”.
