Chapter 18:
Jason and Liz drove all over town with the wind blowing and her screaming. They road till the ended up at the ruins. Jason pulled the bike to a stop in front of the small white gate that stood alone. Feeling something vibrate in his front pocket he pulled out his cell and saw it was a member from the 'Five Families'.
"Baby I need to answer this." he said pushing the answer button.
"Morgan."
"This is Geoff West. You are to be at the 'Key West' at Midnight tonight alone with the future Mrs. Morgan." and the phone went dead.
Slamming his phone back into his pocket he cursed. "Shit. This is going to be a long night."
"Jason whats going on?" she asked as she got off the bike to stand next to him.
"That was one of the members. We have to be at the 'Key West' at midnight tonight for the meeting." he said pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Oh. OK well I guess we should head back then since I need to get cleaned up and so do you." she walked to the back of the bike and got on.
"I know this is happening way to fast and I wish there was something I could do to hold this off, but there is nothing I can do at this point."
"I know there is nothing. I just hope I can handle what they toss at me." she said getting on the back of his bike.
BACK AT THE TOWERS:
Jason and Liz were just getting off the elevator when Johnny stepped around the corner. "Umm Sonny would like to speak to both of you about tonight."
"Thanks Johnny." she said walking in front of Jason.
Johnny opened the door and announced them. "Jason and Liz are here."
"Thanks." Carly said as she stood from the chair and the dinner table.
"Honey are you OK?" she asked walking over to them.
"I think so, but I am kinda not sure what I am supposed to wear." she said looking down at her feet.
"All you have to wear is something casual yet dressy." she said. "If you have a nice pare of dress pants and a sweater you should be OK. But then again you should go in what you feel is comfortable."
"But everything I own is like that. How am I supposed to know that if I pick something they aren't going to judge me on it?"
"Liz this is not a judging contest. This is a meeting so that you can meet the 'Five Families' and that they know you are with our family." Sonny said walking down the stairs. "You will be addressed as my daughter and Jason's fiance. All you need to do is act like yourself and you'll be fine."
"But honey there will be questions for her. They asked me questions and I found them easy. Some might be tricky or hard. But I know you will do fine."
"Thanks. I guess we should or I should go get ready." she said walking back to the door. "I guess I will see you when it is time to go?"
"Umm about that. You and Jason have to go in your own limo since we have to drop the kids off at Bobbies for the night." Carly said as she looked at Jason.
Jason looked at Sonny as saw that it was true. "OK I guess we will see you there."
Liz walked out the door and went into her's and Jason's penthouse. She went straight upstairs and into the bathroom.
Jason heard the water turn on. Closing the door he made his way upstairs to the bedroom. tossing his jacket on the bed he went to the closet and grabbed a pair of dress pants. Going over to his dresser he pulled out a pair of socks, boxers and shirt.
Liz came out of the bathroom in her towel and saw Jason standing there. "Should I wear a dress or something? I really don't know what to wear."
"Baby we told you anything is fine." he said walking over to the bed.
"OK. I guess I will wear something dressy yet comfy."
Grabbing a skirt and blouse from the closet she put them over the back of the chair. Grabbing her favorite black heels she walked over to the dresser and pulled out pantyhose and a thong. "When do you think we need to leave?"
"Not for an hour why?" he said pulling on a fresh pair of boxers. "If you are worried about something I would like you to talk to me before we go."
"I am worried. Jason what if something goes wrong or I do something?"
Getting up from the bed he walked over to her and grabbed her by the shoulders. "Listen to me. Nothing is going to happen. I will be there with you along with the guys and your dad and mom. I promise you that I will make sure you have someone with you at all times." he said kissing her on the forehead. "I love you and I would never let anything happen to you."
"I love you too, I guess I am just scared and I don't want anything to go wrong."
"You will do fine I promise. Now finish getting ready."
Liz quickly got ready. She wore a black short skirt that came just above her knees, her white dress shirt and heels. Walking into the bathroom she grabbed some gel and tossed her head down and ran her fingers through it. Scrunching here and there she looked at the door and smiled at Jason. He was standing there starring. "See something you like Morgan?"
"Yup and when we come home I will see more of that something." he gave her a wink and walked back to the bed.
Shacking her head she moved in front of the mirror. Taking her lip gloss out she added just a small amount to hers just for a hint of color. Then she put a soft brown shadow over her eye lids. She never really wore any mascara and no powder.
Coming out of the bathroom Jason looked up and whistled. "You look beautiful. I don't think I should let you leave here." he said giving her a once over.
"Nice try but I would really like to get this over with. I hate feeling like I am on parade for people to see me. My parents always did it to me when I was growing up and I hate it."
"You are never going to feel like that, and I will make sure it stays that way. The only way you will feel like you are on parade is on our wedding day in front of all our friends and family."
"Mmm our wedding day. That reminds me, mom and me and Em have to go dress hunting. We are getting married in a Month."
"Hmm and it will be the best wedding you will ever see."
Raising her brow she looked at him funny. "And why is that?" she asked wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Cause I will be there dressed in a monkey suit just for you. And let me tell you this much I will be out of that thing for the after party at where ever we have one."
"Speaking of that, how would you like to have it at the same place we first met?"
"I don't know if your dad will go for that. I mean he wanted to make sure you have everything and money was never going to be a problem."
"No Jason. This is our wedding after all. We pick the place where we want it and I want JAKES."
Laughing. "You wont hear me argue about Jakes."
ONE HOUR LATER 'KEY WEST':
Jason and Liz were sitting in the limo waiting for Sonny and Carly to get here. Johnny was driving the Town Car that Jason and Liz were sitting in. Francis was driving the Limo for the Corinthos' and he was just pulling up when he saw Max and Mark walk over to the Town Car.
"Mr. Morgan it's time." Max said as he held his hand out for Liz.
"Thanks Max. Is everything all set? I know we did the normal check but tonight is different since the woman are here."
"Taken care of Mr Morgan. Mark and I took care of the business and made sure everything was safe for the ladies."
Jason walked over to Liz and took her hand. "Everything is fine, are you ready to do this?"
"Yup as long as you are by my side I can do anything. I think?"
"You know you can do anything you set your mind too, you don't need me to be there for you to do that."
Carly and Sonny walked over to where they were standing. Francis and Johnny and the other two guards were standing right behind them.
"You ready to go in?" Sonny asked taking Carly by the small of her back.
"Yup, and then once this is done I wanna go home." Liz said as she tugged Jason's hand.
"Anywhere?" he asked.
"Please." was all she needed to say.
Walking inside was the scary part for Liz she didn't know what to expect or who she would see. Upon going in she notice a group of men sitting at a large round table with woman sitting on each side of them. There was about 4 men and 4 woman there starring at them as they came in the door.
"Mr Morgan, Ms Webber. Glad you could make it." One of the men said.
"Mr and Mrs Corinthos nice to see you both again." another said from the table. "Please find a seat and we will get started."
Jason lead Liz to two chair that were along the wall. Sonny and Carly took the two chairs that were across the table from them. Francis and Johnny stood behind Liz and Jason while Max and Mark stood behind Sonny and Carly.
"Good evening. I am Geoff West and this is my wife Marie we run the Southern. As you will see here tonight we will all get to know the future Mrs. Morgan and she will get to know us as well."
"I am Trevor Ford and this is my wife Cristina. We run the Northern Seaboard. It is nice to meet you Ms Webber."
The next man was more evil looking. "I am Chris Bradan and this is my wife Stephanie we run the Northern along with Trevor and his wife."
"Mr Morgan Ms Webber, I am Keegan Cook and this is my wife Emily we run the Western Seaboard."
Liz starred at everyone never once letting go of Jason's hand. He continued to run his thumb over the back of her hand.
"Now if we can get underway with the questions this should not take to long. I know all of us here have children at home and hate being away from them." Geoff said as he smiled to everyone in the room. "Ms Webber if you are ready, we can start then."
"I am ready to start." she said looking at her father for help.
Sonny winked at her and that was all he was going to do to help her.
"Alright. As we can see we are wanting to get to know you and for that to happen we will all ask questions." he said nodding at the others in the group.
*****QUESTIONS*****
"Ms Webber, when did you coming into the family? And are you loyal enough to keep what you know about the business to yourself and die to keep it that way?" Keegan asked.
"Well that would have been 23 years ago sir. I have been told by Jason and my father that I am loyal enough, but I am never brought into any talk about what goes on in it." she said grabbing Jason's hand harder. "I would die to protect my family and any info I know that others may never know."
"Thank for your honest answer." Keegan smiled.
"Have you ever been in any situations because you are tied to Mr Morgan and Mr Corinthos?" Trevor asked.
"Yes I have been kidnapped and held in a crypt, I have had a bomb in my studio where I used to live, and I have been shot and shot at before."
Smiling at Ms Webber her nodded.
"What are you hobbies and what do you do for work?" Chris asked from his spot.
"I love to paint and sketch, and I love to see the wind. I work at Kelly's Diner."
"You enjoy painting what? Anything or do you paint things you see?" Chris asked.
"I paint whatever I can from flowers, people to anything I feel that I want to put down on canvas. I sketch anything from memory to something right in front of me."
"Would we be able to see some of your work sometime soon?" he asked.
"I think that would be fine."
"Good. Thank you." Chris said as he placed his arm behind his wifes shoulders.
"Ms Webber I am Marie. I have a few questions for you on behalf of the ladies here. Do you plan to have children and are you aware of the life threatening things that come our way?"
"Yes I am. I have been around Jason to know what to expect and my life has always been in constant view to anyone wanting to get at Jason and my dad. I am a way to get to Jason just as my mother and my siblings are a way to get to my dad."
"I see you do know what I am talking about." she smiled.
"Ms Webber are you a good cook just as your father is?" Cristina asked.
"No. The only thing I am able to cook is Brownies." she said as she nibbled her bottom lip. She hated that her life was now an open book to these people.
"Ms Webber are you sure you are ready to take on a life of crime and know that one day your husband may never come home again? That you may just very well end up raising a child or children on your own?" Geoff asked from the head of the table.
"Yes I am. I know what Jason does, but I know never to ask questions. I know that one day he may not come home from a job and that I will raise our children on my own, but I do have family here that will help me."
As she looked around she new the questions were still coming. She felt Jason's strength from just his hand and new she could do this, and she hoped this was the last time she ever had to go through this again.
"You said that you new what Mr Morgan does for a living and you are willing to put your life in his hands just to be married to him?" Keegan asked.
"I love Jason more then life it's self. I would die to protect him just like he has told me before that he would die to keep me safe."
"Thank you Ms Webber I think we are finished with the questions. It was a pleasure to meet you and to know that you are ready to take on this life. But I do have one question for you?"
"Yes."
Smiling. "If Mr Morgan was to be arrested before or after you are married or even say if you were to get a divorce would you ever give information to the police about what goes on in this business?"
"Never. Like I said I will protect Jason and my father's life and that means I would never give information to the police or anyone. I would take a bullet before I give anything away. I do have to say this again though, I don't know what goes on when that side of business comes about, I just know the coffee stuff."
"Thank you again from coming and we wish you all the best. Welcome to the 'Families' Ms Webber."
Everyone stood and clapped. Welcomes were tossed to her. Jason, Sonny and Carly stood and followed the guards out with Liz still holding Jason's hand.
