It was 2:30 in the morning, Jason was just getting home, he threw his keys down on the desk pulled his gun out his back jeans and put it in the drawer. It was dark but h didn't feel the need to turn on any lights Spinelli was probably asleep and he didn't want to wake him. He walked to the kitchen and got a beer out the fridge, not something he normally did but he felt like he needed one. He went and sat on the couch and ran a hand threw his hair. It was quiet he noticed it lately when he would come home and Spinelli would be sleep he just sat there and listen to the quiet. He looked at the clock and noticed it was already going on three so he decided to turn in for the night. He woke up late the next morning due to the fact that Sonny was out of town so he didn't call him to tell him to meet him. He walked down stairs to an empty living room Spinelli must have left already. Deciding that he should get to work he went upstairs to shower and change. After the shower he was done he headed downstairs when the phone rang."Hello." Jason knew who it was from the caller I.D. but wondered why she had called the house phone.

"Hey Jason I know it's early but I really need to see you, could you meet me at our place." Elizabeth loved the way our place sounded as it came from her mouth, finally she had what she'd been wanting a very long time.

"Yeah is everything ok?" He asked nervous that something might be wrong with Jake.

"Everything's fine." She thought it was sweet how he cared so much about small things with her.

"Ok I'll be there in five minutes." He hung up the phone and ran a hand through his hair. He was happy everything was ok but really didn't have time to meet Liz he had already overslept and had a busy day ahead of him but he went anyway. She was waiting for him when he got there. She stood up and smiled and ran to give him a hug. He hugged her back but there wasn't any felling behind it.

"I'm glad you came, I couldn't wait to see you, I missed you." She smiled at him as she lead him to the couch.

"I missed you to, so what's this about." He had to leave if Sonny were in town and new Jason was slacking off he'd have him killed.

"Nothing really I just wanted to see you." She sensed that he wasn't in the mood and had to think of something to make him want to be there.

"Liz I know what your feeling and I miss you too but I have work and I want to meet with you but there are things I have to do today that are really important." He hated saying it but it was the truth. She seemed upset at the fact that he was putting work before her.

"Oh I understand but I thought maybe if I saw you in the morning it would be like waking up to you, besides I was thinking since this is working out for us to meet here, how about every once in a while I bring Jake here so we could all three spend time together." This got a smile out of Jason which made her happy.

"That would be nice, I'd like to see him so he won't forget me." She laughed and thought it was the perfect opportunity to kiss him. They kissed for a few seconds before he pulled away. "As much as I'd like to continue this work calls, but I'll talk to you later." He got up and left, no kiss or I love you he just left.

He was at work in less then ten minutes when he got another call from Liz. "Hello." He asked monotone.

"Hey just checking to see if you got to work ok, anyway I was thinking I have a lunch break at 12 and I could pick Jake up and we could meet for lunch." Jason looked at the clock 9:45 he had a lot of work to do between now and 12 but he considered it, after all he did really want to see his son.

"That sounds great but I'll have to see how busy I am so I'll call you." She agreed and they hung up. He put his cell away and ran his hands threw his hair, it was easier to do with it cut now. There was a knock at the door followed by it opening a bit." Come in." It was Sam someone that he hadn't thought about in a while.

"Trust me I don't want to be here no more then you want me to but I need to know what's going on." He looked at her with an uninterested look and flipped through papers. "I know about the shooting at the metro court and I need to know if this impending danger is reason for me to get my family out of town." He didn't look at her he just kept doing what he was doing.

Alexis knows the situation, if she thought it would be best to get herself and the girls out of town then she would have done it already, plus you know I can't discuss any business with you so if that's all I have a lot of work to be done." She looked confused, she couldn't blame him for the negativity but still he knew the danger and wasn't going to tell her.

"So that's it, after three years all I get is that, God I know you don't care about me anymore but for you to hold out on me trying to protect my family that's just cruel." He slammed the papers down causing her to jump a little.

"What do you want me to say Sam, I have it under control right now there's no real danger but if you think it's best for you to get your family out of town then do so." She looked at him she couldn't believe this was the guy she fell in love with, the guy she thought would keep her safe.

"Ok Jason if that's all you going to give me then fine, though I bet if the shoe was on Elizabeth's shoe you'd have her a million miles from here but I guess you only protect or try to protect the people you love and care about." he looked away unable to say anything. She started walking towards the door when an agonizing pain shot threw her head. She kneeled over clutching her head as memories started coming back.

She came to and the pain stopped she was shaking and sweating and wondered how she was still standing when she looked over and saw Jason had her.

"Sam are you ok?" If she wasn't' mistaken she actually heard concern in his voice. She pulled away from him and tried to shale it off but that only made it worse. "Maybe you should sit down." He was concerned but to her that didn't matter it was a flaw some people had once you let go you shouldn't care about that person anymore, it was a wasted feeling.

"I'm fine, I have to, I need to meet Nicolas." She straightened herself up and headed to the door, he tried to stop her but she didn't listen. She got in her car and sat there a moment trying to get a clear head and understand what just happened. "God what is wrong with me?" She started the car and drove away unaware that Jason had been watching her.
