Author: ghloverx3lulu


Ch.1- Cyber spacing

Jason and Spinelli continued to research Johnny and Lulu's where abouts. Jason knew he had to get to them before the police do and one of them gets shot. There was a knock on the down. "Keep looking Spinelli" Jason said as he answered the door. It was Claudia. "Greetings Vixenella!" "Hey Spinelli, You need to find Johnny before someone gets shot. If anything happens to Johnny my father will have nothing to live for and you don’t want to know what he will do." Claudia was panic and afraid for her brother. She was every uneasy and tense. "I was thinking maybe he went to a Zarracha warehouse or one of the buildings we own. I’m not sure but it’s a start." "I will use my cyber-skills and find all of the Zarracha properties. If that’s ok with you Stonecold?" Spinelli asked. "you don’t need to be here Claudia, Me and Spinelli can handle it.” Jason remarked. "Jason you know you need me! I have proven my loyalty and have taken care of you and Spinelli. Why is it so hard to believe that I can help you now?" Spinelli interrupted "The Vixenella is loyal friend and can help to find where the Blond One and Vixenella's brother." Jason gave up "Fine she can stay." "Thank you Spinelli" Claudia smiled. "Has Johnny contacted you at all?" Jason asked "Just that one time but my father was in the room and I couldn’t talk." Claudia replied. "Properties own by the Vixenella evil dad are mostly in Manhattan." The Jackal researched. "Yeah we lived in Manhattan for awhile. Until daddy sent me away. Johnny would take piano lesson, he loved it their. Even though we were never allowed outside of the house." Claudia smiled "John would play for hours practicing and practicing. I won’t be able to live with myself if anything happens to him." a tear fell down from Claudia’s eyes. Claudia acted tough and emotionless sometimes but Johnny was her true weakness. "So lets go to Manhattan, we will search for them there. We can leave tonight." Claudia suggested "Stonecold I traced the phone call Johnny made to the Vixenella and their location is Manhattan." "Great I pack a bag and am back here in a few." Claudia said with excitement.

Ch.2-Manhattan Here We Come!

About an hour later Claudia was back and ready to go. Jason had called Bernie to keep an eye on the business and Spinelli continued to do more Jackaling. They all got in the "mob mobile" and it was off to Manhattan. Jason drove most of the way but when he became tired was reluctant to let Claudia drive. But eventually did. They arrived on the outside of Manhattan and stayed at one of the apartment building the Zaccarahas own. Spinelli was having a hard time locating the exact place the came from. "Someone needs to go the store and get some food." Claudia said as she open the curtains and to get some sunlight in the apartment.” I will Vixenella; the Jackal needs some orange soda and BBQ Chips to refuel." "BBQ Chips and Orange Soda, good brain food" Claudia laughed and smile. With that the Jackal left on the quest for food. Jason was tired and was headed to bed in the 2 bedroom apartment. "You know Jason I actually think you like having me here and you know I am a big help in finding Johnny and lulu." Claudia said. Jason stop before entering the bedroom and said "I guess you are" "the almighty Jason admitting that he does in fact need my help. I am shocked!" Claudia said smiling and laughing. "I guess there is a first time for everything." Jason said with a laugh. "He laughs too! Maybe you should laugh more often. Your a little fun--" before she could finish her sentence Jason's cell phone rang, it was Carly wanting an update. Jason walked in to the bedroom and answered it. When Jason smiled it was truly breath taking. Although it didn’t happen often Claudia began to like his laugh and his smile. She laid down on the couch and began to fall asleep. Spinelli returned and with bags of groceries (including a 3 12packs of Orange soda and 4 bags of chips.)He ate and researched as the Vixenella and Stonecold sleep.


Ch.3- the Jackal has Success

Claudia woke up to Jason and Spinelli on the computer. "It is nearly impossible to find the exact coordinates of where they are with no more then a mere 10 second call." The Jackal explained. "Just keep trying" Jason order. Claudia sat up and turned on TV to see a wanted report about Johnny and lulu. "They have a wanted report up all ready! Someone is going to see them and spot them and the police are going to shot Johnny and--" Claudia was completely panic. "Calm down, we will find them before that happens I promise" Jason said with hope. "THE JAKAL REACHES SUCCESS! THE RUNAWAY LOVERS ARE AT 1234 MANHATTAWAY DRIVE!" "SPINELLI YOU ARE A GEINESS!" Claudia yelled she gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Lets go, get the GPS on your laptop ready" Jason order as they ran out. When they got to the elevator Jason and Claudia waited while Spinelli went to the stairs. "Why aren't you taking the stairs?" Claudia asked. "The Jackal has had many scary experiences when it comes to elevators" and he took off down the stairs.


Ch.4 - And Were Safe

They arrived at the address shortly. "This building looks familiar... I know which room they are in!" Claudia yelled and raced up stairs. Claudia knocked at the door and Johnny answer. "JOHNNY!” She hugged him. "What are you guys doing here how you did guys find us?" he asked. "Spinelli! Jason!" Lulu exclaimed. "Are you both ok?" Jason asked. "Yeah were fine" Johnny replied. "We need to get you both somewhere safe. I have a safe house in the Bahamas; I can make a few phone calls and get you both there. That way no one is on the run and your both safe." Jason told them. Johnny and Lulu looked at each other and agreed it was the only way to be safe. Jason walked into the next room and made a few phone calls to get everything set up.
Finally it was time to sneak Johnny and Lulu off on one of Cary’s private jets to the Bahamas. Claudia hugged her brother, "John we lost so much when father sent me away and now I'm going to lose you again" Claudia began to cry. "It's only for a little while Claudia. I will be back before you know it." Johnny reassured her. Lulu said her goodbyes to Spinelli and thanked Jason. With disguises on, Johnny and lulu waved goodbye and boarded the plane.
They arrived back at the apartment an hour later. And all headed to bed. Claudia told Spinelli to sleep in her bed and she would sleep on the couch. It was around 2:00am when Jason woke up to get a drink. Claudia was sitting on the couch crying. "Are you ok?" Jason asked. "I'm fine." Claudia said wiping the tears from her eyes. "I just didn’t think seeing my brother leave would hit me so hard. I know he's safe now, but we have lost so much time. When my father sent me away I thought about Johnny everyday. I missed seeing him grow up and protecting him from my crazy father. I finally got Johnny back in my life and now I probably won’t see him for another year maybe even more." Jason sat besides her on the couch. Jason understood where she was coming from. "Johnny is the one person in this world that I know always is there. Now that he is gone, I got no one." It was hard for Jason to comfort anyone, but when it came to Claudia and that night, it just seemed so easy. Jason told her “you got me and Spinelli" Claudia looked into his eyes and pulled him into a kiss.


Ch.5 - Good Morning

Spinelli woke up and wondered when they were leaving Manhattan. He headed to his laptop and found Claudia and Jason asleep in each others arms. Spinelli giggled and smiled in excitement. Finally Stonecold was getting over Elizabeth with none other then the Vixenella. Spinelli always had suspected that the Vixenella had feelings for Stonecold. He was good at reading other peoples feeling toward others but when it came to other people having feelings for Spinelli he was completely clueless. Spinelli picked up his laptop and went to his bedroom.
Claudia woke up in Jason’s arms. She was so comfortable she didn’t want to move. Yet she couldn’t help to think to herself "Am I really falling for Jason Morgan, an enemy of the Zaccarah?" When it came to Johnny and Claudia they didn’t mind Jason. The problem was Anthony. Claudia never admitted it but she was scared of her father, after all he was a psychopath who could careless if she lived or died. But the more she thought about the more she knew Jason would protect her from crazy dad. Claudia always told herself that people in the mob shouldn’t have relationships. Relationships were a sign of weakness and distraction. But she never thought she would have feelings for the mob boss. It was unusual for Claudia to have feelings for anyone besides her brother. Usually it was a one night stand and then move on with your life. Why was she feeling this way? Why did she wake up with a smile on her face? Why was she falling for Jason? And the most important question going through her mind Was Jason feeling this way to? Jason was being to wake up. Claudia wanted so badly to kiss him, but she didn’t know what this was. What they were, if they even were anything. He picked her head up to see Jason staring back at her.
"Ah Vixenella, Stonecold I see were up" Spinelli said with a goofy smile on his face as he walked into the room. "It is precisely 11:47am we must leave soon before the so called justice keepers at the PCPD might grow suspicious." Claudia got up from the couch and headed to the bathroom to get dressed. "Stonecold did we have an ever so goodnights sleep?" Spinelli said still with the goofy smile. "Shut up Spinelli" Jason said shaken his head. After what happened with Michael Jason never smiled or laughed anymore. But why couldn’t he help to smile when Claudia was sarcastic about his personality, or when Spinelli would get so flustered around her. And why was he starting to have feelings for Claudia Zaccarah? They had an undeniable and uncontrollable chemistry. After everyone got dressed they headed back to port Charles.

Ch.6- Back in Port Charles

Finally they were home at Jason’s Penthouse. The Jackal went to his regrettably pink room and Jason and Claudia stood downstairs. It was a bit of an awkward moment. "Thank you for everything Jason." Claudia said as she left. Jason closed the door and was headed toward the couch to sit and think when there was a knock at the door. Jason headed back to answer it. Claudia came rushing in and pulled him into a kiss. Jason carried her to the couch...
Once again she was comfortable in Jason’s arms. They both knew that it had to end. She knew she would have to move, have to leave but why was it so hard? "I’m sorry I have to go. This can’t happen again, we can’t happen." "I know" Jason agreed. "My father will have me killed." She stood up and she quickly got dressed. "I don’t know why I can’t resist you." Claudia confessed as she leaned over and kiss him, and then quickly left. Jason laid there. He couldn’t get her out of his mind.
Claudia returned to her new home across the metro court. She was expecting her house to be quite and empty but there was Anthony. "Where have you been Claudia?" "Just around daddy" Claudia replied as she kissed his cheek. "I haven’t seen you in 3 days Claudia. So where have you been? Whoring yourself out? Or are you hiding something" "YOU NEED TO LEAVE NOW!" she yelled pointing towards the door. "Getting brave Claudia? YOU DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO! YOU’RE A WORTHLESS WHORE AND YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN! Anthony changed his tone, "if anything happens to Johnny and you know where he is, you will be the first to die." with that Anthony wheeled himself out. Even with Anthony’s threat in her head Claudia still couldn’t stop thinking about Jason.


Ch.7- I need you.

It had been 2 weeks since Claudia and Jason last saw each other and they were both going out of there minds. Jason was the only thing on Claudia's mind and Claudia was the only thing on Jason's. They both had this way of bringing the soft side out in each other. Claudia called Jason’s phone. "Hey I need to see you. Can you come by the piers?" "Yeah I’ll be right there." Claudia waited until he came. "Is everything alright?" Jason asked as he walked down towards her. "No everything’s not alright Jason. You are all I think about 24/7 and as cheesy as this sounds you are all I think about until I fall asleep and even then you’re in my dreams and I can’t stop it." "I know you’re all that I think about to" Jason confessed as he pulled her into a kiss. "There has to be someway we can be together. We can sneak around and go someplace where no one can find us." Claudia suggested. "I know where we can go." Jason grabbed Claudia’s hand and escorted her to there secret hideaway and sent the day there. The met every other day for about 2 weeks.


Ch.8- Feel the Heat

Claudia enters their secret hideaway and put her purse down. She looked around but Jason wasn’t there yet. She went to the bathroom. When she got out she heard the door open. "Jason?" she called but no one was there. Claudia sat on the bed; she swore that she heard that door open. She walked over and got her gun from her purse. She began to search the house to make sure no one was there. Suddenly she was struck by something in the back of her head. Falling in and out of consciousness Claudia looked up as she was on the ground. Trevor hovered over her. "Your father knows what you have been doing her with Jason Morgan, Claudia. Your father doesn’t like Betrayal." Trevor said as he kicked her side. Claudia went unconscious as he poured gasoline all over the house. He lit a match and got in his car and was beginning to drive away as Jason’s car pulled in. He speed out hoping Jason wouldn’t see it was him, but Jason saw Trevor’s face. Jason pulled up and saw the house on fire and Claudia’s car in the drive way. He quickly kicked the door in and ran inside. "Claudia!" he yelled as he frantically looked for her through the flames and the fire. He found her passed out besides the bed. He picked her up and carried her out.
Jason laid Claudia on the couch in the penthouse. "Jason" Claudia said as she was being to wake up. "I told you he would try to kill me." "He or Trevor will never hurt you again. No one will ever hurt you." Jason comforted her. "How do you know they will never hurt me?" she asked. "I took care of it." Claudia knew exactly what he meant. Trevor and Anthony were swimming with the fishes and they could finally be together. After all they have gone through they were finally home and for the first time at peace.
