A/N Thanks for your comments; I love them. Some of you have expressed concerns that Madea is letting Liz off too easily. Madea hasn't learned the whole story yet. As much as I love Elizabeth; she has done some dumb sh!t and she will be called on it by Madea as well as Johnny.
Chapter Six
GH Parking Lot
Jason sat in his truck seething from the verbal ass kicking Johnny just gave him. He jumped out of the truck and ran after Johnny and grabbed him by the arm. "I hope you said all you had to say Johnny Fucking O'Brien because that will be the only time I let anyone talk to me like that. I'm taking my life back and my balls come with it. Your Lizbits started this shit when she lied and said that Lucky was the father of Jake and we both have been fucking up every since. Now I called you for a reason and you need to know this, now come back to the truck; I've already said too much out in the open as it is."
Johnny followed him back to the truck and they both got in, "I went to see Sonny today to tell him about you. I called and made an appointment and when I get over there he's sitting all cozy with his wife and he refused to ask her to leave the room." He proceeded to tell him what was said and done. "I don't think Sonny will do anything but his wife is stupid enough to. She is going to be taken out in a few so we need to get into the hospital so we are seen. And Johnny I'll take care of my family myself."
They got out of the truck and walked to the hospital. "You really said that to Sonny. I bet he didn't know what to think."
"He was calm when he told me he couldn't let me get away with it but I saw that brief flicker of fear. He thought I was going to back down when he threw the fact that his son was there in my face. I don't blame him because I usually do whatever they want when he and Carly throw the boys up to me. I'm tired of just going along with what everybody wants no matters how much I get hurt. I've cut Sam and Spinelli out of my life; I don't want to do the same to Sonny and Carly but I can't be their go to guy anymore. All four of them know Jake is my son and I don't trust any of them not to let it slip out accidentally of course."
"Since we have to be seen I'll call Niecy and get her to meet us in the cafeteria." He pulled out his cell and called his wife. "Hey Baby, why don't you come down to the cafeteria and join me and Jason….Yes Jason Morgan…Okay, I'll see you when you get here...I love you too."
"I love you too. You're whipped Johnny." Jason teased.
"Yeah but wait until you see who is holding the whip. You can tease me all you want but I'm happier than I ever thought I would be. It's like I wrote down everything I want in a woman and threw it up to the heavens and God said son you know you don't deserve her but here is my gift to you. So you can keep right on teasing me; I don't care as long as I get to go home to her every night."
"Damn Johnny; you've got it bad."
"Yes I do."
Madea's Room
Niecy ended her call and turned to her grandmother, "Madea, I'm going down to the cafeteria to meet Johnny and Jason Morgan is with him. This will be the first time I've met him, he's a good friend of Johnny's. I'll come back up before we leave."
Madea got up and looked in the mirror and straightened her wig, "I'm going with you. I want to meet this Jason Morgan."
"Madea, I don't think that's a good idea."
"Well I think it's a great idea. Come on gurl, let's go; we don't want to leave those goodlooking mens alone for too long. This hospital is crawling with hootchie mamas." She walked out of the room with Niecy trailing behind her sputtering.
"Madea please don't embarrass Johnny in front of his friend okay?"
"I'm not going to embarrass nobody," she smiled.
Niecy looked at her, not believing a word she said, resigned she asked, "What about your wheelchair? Are you sure you're okay to walk around?"
"I never did need no damn wheelchair. I just went alone with it to keep Piph and Lizbet off my ass but I don't see them around, do you?"
Madea peeked around the corner to see if Epiphany was at the hub and when she wasn't, she made a break for the elevators. Niecy just shook her head and laughed and raced behind her. They rushed into the elevator as soon as the doors opened, bumping into each other in their haste. Epiphany stood there watching them laugh and looked up, "Oh Lord now there are two of them. Give me strength."
Madea and Niecy walked into the cafeteria and looked around for Johnny and Jason. When Niecy spotted them she said, "Dayum! Madea he is fine; Jason Morgan is one gorgeous man."
"Slow your roll Cookie; you are a married woman." Madea admonished Niecy.
"A very happily married, woman but that doesn't affect my eyesight." Niecy said as they walked up to the table.
Johnny and Jason stood up when the ladies arrived at the table. He kissed Niecy and hugged Madea. "Hey Baby, Madea I didn't know you were joining us. I'd like you both to meet a good friend of mine, Jason Morgan. Jason this is my lovely wife Denise and her grandmother Mabel Simmons."
"It's nice to meet you both." Jason said as he shook hands with Niecy and then Madea. Jason flexed his fingers when Madea finally let go of his hand. "Quite a handshake you've got there Mrs. Simmons."
Madea laughed, "Sometimes I don't know my own strengk." She cut her laugh off and just stared at him and Jason stared back at her.
To break up the stare-off Johnny asked, "Madea, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure Johnny-Boy; I may not answer on the grounds that it may incrimerlate me."
"Okay, what is finger twisting?" Jason and Niecy looked at Johnny and then Madea waiting on her to answer.
"Jest what is sound like boy; you twist somebody's finger."
"I didn't think you could get arrested for twisting someone's finger."
"You can when it's the po po's finger you twisted." She laughed.
Johnny put his elbows on the table with his fists on his cheeks. "What happened?"
"It was after Niecy's granddaddy died and I was out and had a little too much to drink. I was minding my own business and this skeezer that was always after my husband came up to me and was blaming for his death. She put her finger in my face, so I twisted it. Then the po po shows up and he puts his finger in my face so I twisted his too. I warned them both but they wouldn't listen. They felt sorry for me because of my loss and that's the onliest thing they charged me with."
Johnny laughed and asked, "What else could they have charged you with Madea?"
"Fingers weren't the only thing I twisted that night. While I was getting acquainted with the law that ho came back and pulled my wig off. So it was on like King Kone; I picked that heffer up and wipe the bar with her ass. Then I tried out a few bar stools and a couple of tables on her head, they don't make things like they used to. So they could have arrested me for destructure of property too."
Niecy asked, "How did you get out of the other charges Madea?"
"Everybody loved your granddaddy and they knew how much I loved him; so they knew how much I was hurting. Since didn't nobody like that heffer and she was drunk too they told her that somebody else's wife had kicked her ass and they took up a collection and paid for the damage. The po po didn't want to admit to having his boys twisted so he just arrested me for finger twisting. They took me in and let me sleep it off and released me on my own recognirance. Anymore querstions, Johnny Boy?"
"I've plenty of questions but I'll wait for another time, Madea." Johnny said after Niecy kicked him under the table.
"Yeah and you're going to have to tell me why Lizbet punked you like she did today. We probably shouldn't talk about Lizbet in front of Mr. Morgan." She tilted her head from one side to the other as she looked at Jason. "You don't look like a deadbeat dad."
Niecy jumped up, "Madea, it's time to get back up to your room. Jason it was nice meeting you. Come on Madea, let's go. NOW!"
"I just made a obseravation. See you later Johnny Boy. You don't talk much do you boy?" Jason just shook his head no. "It's been real." Madea said as she followed Niecy out of the cafeteria.
"Jason Madea has taken Elizabeth under her wing. She was the one that talked her into getting guards"
"You don't have to smooth it over. She's right, any man that walks away from his kids is a deadbeat dad. It hurts to be called that and if a virtual stranger thinks that I am; what are Cam and Jake going to think we the get older? Just the thought of my sons looking at me like I used to look at Alan is unbearable."
"I met them tonight Jason and how anybody could think that Jake was Lucky's son is beyond me. He's got Lizbits' smile but the rest is all you and Cam is all Liz; he rambled on and on just like his mother. They already call me Unca Schonny, that's how Jake pronounces it. They are two amazing little boys and you don't want to miss anymore."
"I know Johnny and I've got to make my move before she marries that loser again."
"WHAT! Please tell me you are not talking about Lucky Spencer. Please tell me she's marrying another loser that I didn't know she had married before."
"I'm talking about Defective Detective Lucky Spencer."
"And what were you going to do let her?"
"I can't stop her from marrying anybody, Johnny."
"Aw cut the shit Jason. You could have stopped her from marrying Lucky and even Ric but no you'd rather be with them… them…those other women because they were easy and accepted all the bullshit you gave them. Elizabeth loved you so much back when we became friends but she wouldn't put up with your crumbs you dished out to her. Jason if you want something good you have to work for it and you have to work to keep it." He looked at his watch and asked, "Do we still need to be seen?"
"No, we are clear. What's up?"
"I'm going to ask Madea if she talked to Liz about Lucky."
"Liz won't appreciate you talking about her relationship with Lucky."
"I don't give a fuck if she appreciates it or not. I think it's time we had an intervention. It is time she was made to see that whatever debt she feels she owes Lucky has been paid in full, ten times over. You shouldn't be involved because she would just dig her heels in just to spite you but I'll let you know what's going on."
"You're right about that; right now she wouldn't spit on me if I was on fire. I also know as much as she hates me right now she wouldn't keep the boys from me; I have that going for me."
"Good luck man. I'll talk to you later."
"Yeah, later Johnny."
Jason walked out of the hospital to his truck and spotted Sam and Spinelli sitting in her car parked across from him. He waited for them to notice him, 'helluva PI's no wonder they can't solve anything unless I help them' he thought. When they finally noticed him, they both jumped out of the car and ran over to him.
"Stonecold, they are going to arrest me. They were waiting on me and they bested the Jackal. I know you are perturbed with your grasshopper but you can't let me go to jail."
"Jason please don't turn your back on him; he wouldn't make it in jail and you know it."
"First answer this question; how did you know I was here?"
"We just drove around looking for your motorcycle or truck. They crashed his system so we don't have a way to track you Jason. It was strictly legwork."
"You're lying. Spinelli if you want my help you better tell me the truth. How did you find me?"
"Stonecold you're going to help me and all I have to do is tell you how we found you; is that correct?"
"Yes I'll help you as much as I can if you tell the truth."
Spinelli looked to Sam and she tried to tell him no with her eyes but he didn't get it. "Stonecold, I used the computer at the office to jackal On Star to ascertain your location."
"You never learn do you Spinelli? Your partner was trying to give you the eye not to tell me and we no make that I know that Sam knows a con when she sees one. I said I would help you as much as I can and this is all I can do for you. Call Carly and get her to help you; after all she is the reason you are in this mess.. I've told you repeatedly not to do anything unless I tell you but you always think you know my needs and wants better than I do. Spinelli, you don't; you never have. When I left the penthouse; I said I was done. I didn't say it in anger that I would get over after I cooled off. I said it because I am done with you and I am done with Sam and no amount of stalking is going to change that; it will just make me more resolved that I made the right decision. Let your wife help you; she seems to have smartened up but you keep on relying on Sam and you'll end up doing more time than you have to. If either one of approach me again I'll have to get a restraining order because I really don't want to kill you. Goodbye."
He walked away and pulled out his cell and when he got in his truck he called, "Cody, any information that Sam or Spinelli may be aware of needs to be cleaned now. Spinelli is about to be arrested and he might turn….Thanks". He drove off without a backwards glance and didn't see Spinelli collapse in a puddle or Sam get in her car and drive around him. He placed another call, "Diane, I want you to get restraining orders against Sam and Spinelli; I'm sick of being ambushed by them…Yes, you can call it cleaning house…Maxie called you…No let him get out of it on his own; I've warned him not to do anything unless I gave him explicit directions…No, I'm not going to change my mind…Thanks."
Sam did what she considered her last good deed for Spinelli; she called his wife. "Maxie you need to get to the GH parking lot right away. I couldn't get Spinelli to leave after Jason turned down his plea for help. He's sitting in the middle of the parking lot crying like a baby."
'You just left him like that.'
"I couldn't get him to leave with me, Maxie. Maybe you can talk some sense into him; he wouldn't listen to me."
'Yeah, I'm sure you really tried to help him Sam. I bet you drove around him like he was a speed bump in your haste to follow Jason. I'm on my way and thanks Sam for being the good friend I always knew you were.' She hung up the phone "Bitch."
Sam looked at her phone, "Bitch." She looked down the street but Jason's truck was nowhere in sight. "Where did you go Jason? You may be through with Spinelli but you still need sex and I'm going to be the one to give it to you. You won't be able to resist me for long."
Earlier on the Docks
Claudia walked down the steps to meet the Lieutenant from the Zacarra Organization. "Thanks for getting right on this Mark. We've got to hit Morgan fast and if my husband is too much of a coward to do anything; I will."
"Are you sure about this Mrs. Corinthos?"
"I can't let that brain damaged asshole come in my home and disrespect me and my husband. Sonny may think he's the shit but to me he's just a little boy trying to do a woman's job. His organization will be mine before the night is over. So to answer your question; yes I'm very sure Mark."
"I think you are making a mistake but you are the boss and the men are in place just waiting for my signal."
"Well, what are you waiting for? Give them the signal."
Mark pulled out his cell phone just before he fell to the ground. Claudia was stunned as she wiped off her face and looked at her hand and saw the blood there. She looked down at Mark and saw the blood spreading from what was left of his head. Her last thought before the bullet tore through her heart was 'I should have stayed home.' She was dead before she hit the ground.
Madea's Room
Johnny walked in to find Madea, Niecy and Epiphany all laughing, "What's so funny?" He pulled up a chair and joined the women and kissed his wife before taking a seat.
"Hi baby, we were just telling Aunt Piph about the look on Jason's face when Madea called him a deadbeat dad."
Johnny gave a light chuckle, "He was a bit shocked wasn't he? I'm sorry to break up the party but he just told me something that I can't believe. Jason said that Liz was engaged to marry Lucky Spencer again; did either of you know about this?" He looked from Madea to Epiphany and back to Madea.
"I'm not gonna let that gal marry that fool."
"Madea, you can't stop her from marrying who she wants to." Epiphany said softly but sternly to her mother.
"See that's where you are wrong Epiphany. I'm not going to sit on my ass and hope for the best when I see somebody I care walking into quicksand. I'm not going to get on you too bad Piph because she works under you but you should have done something. That's what her problem; she hasn't had no strong women to point her in the right direction. There's a difference between meddling and looking out for someone and if I have to kidnap her on her wedding day; I'm not letting her marry that cheating bastard. If she was in love with him; I'd try to talk her out of it but she's not. She's still in love with that mute Jason Morgan."
"Madea if it comes down to kidnapping her I'll help you. You're right; she has never had a woman to guide her. Her grandmother is a Lucky fan so she has always pushed her toward him; anything to keep her away from Jason Morgan. When I talked to Liz earlier she didn't mention Lucky but I thought it was because she knew I couldn't stand the sonofabitch. He has always manipulated and guilted her into doing what he wanted her to. I told Jason we were going to have an intervention; are you with me Madea?"
"I don't know what a intervenation is but if it keeps her from marrying that man, I'm with you. Besides, I can't let my gurl marry up with the effing po po; now can I?"
