Chloe Morgan 17 – Emilia Clark

Long Road Home

Chapter 22

"I am so glad that you finally agreed to a date." The doctor smirked as he held the door to Jake's open. Sam gave him a small smile before she followed him into the bar.

"You can take any seat that you like." A perky voice called from behind the bar, "I will be with you in a jiffy." She continued as she rummaged around behind the bar, so that her face was hidden.

It seemed to be a slow night at the bar, there was only two other couples in the bar; the first sat at a back booth and their faces couldn't be make out. The other pair were two younger girls that were sitting at the bar. "I have to say this was not what I had in mind when I picked you up at the Metro Court." Ian observed.

"I have been staying there the last few day," Sam answered, "I also wanted to go somewhere we won't be spotted."

"Should I be angry that you don't want to be seen with me?" The doctor laughed.

"My best friend owns the hotel and isn't very happy Jason and I decided to call it quits." Sam said as she tried to remember the lines Maxie and she went over before she left, "She believes that things can be salvaged."

"Can it?"

"I allowed myself to believe that things would change between Jason and I, that over time I would come first in his life." Sam sighed as she took a sip of wine.

"I think he has made a horrible choice, but as they say his loss is my gain." Ian said his voice fun of confidence.

"I really don't want to talk about that. Why don't you tell me about you?"

"One of my favorite topics. What would you like to know?" Ian asked as he took a sip of his tequila.

"First, I think we need around of shots." Sam smiled as she nodded towards the bartender, who turned out to be Ethan, "Keep them coming." Sam nodded as she downed the first one.

"I am turning out to like you more and more." Ian laughed as he took the first shot, "We each ask each other a question and have to answer truthfully." He explained, "Ladies first." He nodded.

"Okay, how did you come to be in Port Charles?"

"I followed a girl here, I thought that we had something special, but turns out she was just using me." He answered honestly, "How did you end up with a mobster?"

"I met him while I was in school and fell in love with him." Sam answered, "There is so much more to him then then being a coffee importer. He is loyal to a fault." Sam continued to explain as took another shot, this time brought over by a very familiar blonde.

"So you two have been together since high school, that's a long time."

"My turn. Who was this woman?" Sam asked as Ian took another shot.

"She was a blonde wild little thing and I was a guy. I thought that I had gotten over her while I was in Connecticut and then she called and said there was an opening here and I came." He downed another shot, "She said that she wanted to be together again."

"What happened between you two?" Sam asked as she pushed another shot towards the man and he took it eagerly.

"She was all caught up with some other doctor and someone else caught my eye. She even promised to help me out with this girl."

"What girl would this be?" Sam asked.

"Not so fast. My turn." Ian demanded as he handed her another shot and he downed one himself, "Do I have a chance with you?"

"You are slowly working yourself up there." Sam tried to hold back her vomit, "What kind of car do you drive?"

"Mustang. Red. I have had the same car for the last three years. Best thing I have ever had."

"Let me guess you have some tool bag licenses plate." Sam laughed.

"Is that what you think about me?"

"You are a cocky doctor, so yes."

"It's LKMYJNK." He confessed.

"Bingo." Sam smirked.

Maxie was making more shots for her sister's table, she was sort of amazed that the doctor hadn't figured out who she really was. Part of her was not too surprised the doctor was a total ass hat and had felt so bad for Sam being on a fake date.

Luckily, Sam had thought all this out before hand and slipped Coleman some money and he was more than happy to close the bar for the night. Maxie had no problem filling the bar with fake customers. Carly and Lucky were more than happy to lead a hand, though not about playing a couple and Kristina and Chloe were hanging at the bar. While she and Ethan were busy playing the roles of the bartender.

"Blondie, incoming." Ethan called as he came from the back room, "We have some uninvited guests." Ethan nodded towards the door.

"Bring these to my sister, give her the ones on the right." Maxie ordered as she hurried to the black room, to see who was back there. "Jason, Patrick and Robin." The blonde greeted as she looked at the three, "I thought you were going to bring them when we called."

"I was going to but Jason caught on a lot faster than I thought he would." Robin shrugged.

"What the hell were you girls thinking?" Jason yelled.

"We were thinking that we were going to kill the bastard that did this to out sister." Maxie hissed back.

"There is a plan in place." Robin interrupted as she tried to calm the man down, "We were going to lure Ian down here, get him drunk and to admit what he did." She started to explain.

"How did you get Ian to come here?" Patrick asked.

"Sam texted him and asked him to meet her for a drink." Maxie explained as she pulled her ear piece out of her ear and handed it to Jason, who looked even more pissed at the new of Sam on a date with another man.

"We needed to get him down here so Chloe and Robin could identify him." Robin added, "Which Chloe did."

"What was the rest of your plan?" Jason asked as he put the ear piece in his ear.

"Get him to confess and find out why he did it and then hand him over to Patrick and you." Maxie answered this time.

"What if something went wrong?"

"We took care of that Jason. The bar only has people we know in it; Chloe, Kristina, Carly and Lucky are acting like customers and Ethan and I are playing the part of the bar staff."

"You brought a cop into this?" Patrick asked shocked.

"Lucky, just wanted to help. He saw all the pain our family has been through and is being a good friend." Maxie dismissed as she waved her hand, "I have to get back to getting the man drunk." She winked as she sauntered back to the front of the bar.

"Lucky is a main part of all this." Robin continued to explain, "He is the one who is going to cover your asses."

"How is he going to do that?"

"The same way he made it look like Lisa's death was an accident." Robin sighed as motioned for Jason to listen in on the conversation."

000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I believe it's my turn to ask." Ian slurred, "You are living with Patrick Drake and not with him, what is that about?"

"He lost his wife thanks to a psycho and I was grieving the loss of my sister. We needed each other."

"Lisa was not a psycho, she just fell for the wrong man." Ian corrected.

"I never said who it was." Sam narrowed her eyes.

"It was all over the news." Ian shrugged, "Your turn to ask?"

"How was this blonde going to help you?" Sam asked as Maxie brought another round of shots to their table.

"I had to help get the composition out of the way, so she could move in on the guy."

"That must have been hard, I mean you said you loved this girl." Sam mused.

"At first it was, I thought that Lisa wanted me to come to Port Charles because she wanted us to get back together." Ian laughed as he downed another shot, "She played with me at first and that's when I realized that she had changed."

"How so?"

"She was so focused on this guy and would do whatever it took to get him. That is when I knew I didn't stand a chance. I was ready to call it quits and head back to Connect when I met someone that changed my mind."

"Who was that?"

"No, you had three questions. My turn." Ian dismissed, "Anything ever happen between you and Patrick?"

"No, he is my best friend and was there when I needed him." Sam answered, "Jason was the only person I wanted to be with at that time." Sam admitted honestly.

"Why would you want to be with a man that wasn't there for you when you lost your child and sister?"

"I pushed him away, when I should have let him in." Sam frowned, "How did you know about any of that?"

"I am a doctor Sam, I have certain privileges."

"Like reading medical files."

"Yes, I had to make sure Lisa kept her word and you were not hurt. She wasn't supposed to cause you to lose your baby." Ian declared as he grabbed Sam's hand.

"Why would Lisa promise not to hurt me?"

"That was part of our deal. I get Robin out of the picture and away front Patrick for here and I get you."

"You get me?"

"The moment I saw you at the hospital with your daughter, I feel in love with you. But you were with that mobster and wouldn't give me the time of day." Ian admitted, "Lisa needed my help and when I said no and I would go to the police, she offered me you."

"How is that?"

"Lisa saw Robin and you as a threat. She already planned on getting Robin out of the way and need to keep you busy so not to turn Patrick against her. So I followed the plan and took Robin away and waited to here from Lisa. Only to find out that she got herself killed."

"So you took Robin away and posed as her doctor."

"Yes and then I came back to Port Charles to claim my prize. Lisa promised to do something to make you push Jason away and into my arms. The problem was that with Lisa dead, Patrick was now in the way."

"You helped Lisa out because you wanted to get me to like you."

"Yes, I couldn't carry out Lisa plan to kill Robin because I knew how hard that would be for you. So I placed her in a hospital and slowly fed her information to get her to remember."

"Why would you do that?"

"Because I knew when we finally got together and you got to know me. That I could tell you the truth and you would understand that I did it all for you." Ian declared as he squeezed her hands.

"How could you think that I would ever love a man that took my sister away from me?" Sam asked with disgust in her voice.

"You are confused and if you can love a hit man. I think you can love a man that did everything he did because he loved you."

"I love Jason because of the person he is and that has nothing to do with his job."

"This was not part of the plan, losing your sister was supposed to make you emotional and need comfort."

"Only she didn't lose her sister." A voice called from the back room. Ian turned around or the best he could considering how much he had to drink.

Robin was now standing at the swing door with both Patrick and Jason on each side of her. There were only six people left in the bar at that time; Sam, Jason, Patrick, Robin, Maxie and Ian. Carly and the others had taken their leave once Maxie had informed her that Jason had arrived.

"How are you here?" Ian asked shocked.

"You underestimated how much Robin means to us and that once we found out there was a chance she could be alive and we wouldn't hunt her down at all costs." Maxie hissed

"One article and led to your whole story being unraveled." Sam smirked as she stood up and walked over to Jason.

"This is a set up?" Ian asked as he stumbled to his feet, "You have no proof." Ian demanded as he getting angry.

"Actually we do." Sam smiled as she waved her phone around, "Recorded everything you just said."

"So, what happens now? I go missing. There were people in the bar tonight that saw me. There is no way you are going to get away with this."

Jason had enough of this man rambling and walked straight up to the doctor and punched him in the face, with such force that it caused the man to fly across the room, "I warned you not to touch what is mine." He growled, "I would love nothing more than to kill you slowly for everything you put my family through."

"But, that would be easy for you." Patrick continued as he walked up to the other doctor and gave him a swift kick to the gut, "You are going to prison and I can assure you that you will not get a moment's peace." He added as he delivered another kick.

"You are a fool if you think that you could break a love that these two couple share," Maxie added as she marched up to the three.

"Jason and Patrick you should get out of here, my Dad is on his way." Robin announced as she closed her phone, "We shouldn't be here when they get here, it would look bad if we were all here."

Jason watched as Patrick gave the man one quick kick before he reached out a hand for Robin and lead the way towards the back of the bar. Jason pulled Sam into a quick ruff kiss before he followed the couple. But not before there was a scream coming for the doctor.

"What?" Maxie asked as Sam shot her a look, "I had to make sure that he didn't get away." She defended as she nodded towards the bottle opener that now was imbedded in Ian's hand. "I love you and I am sorry." The blonde added once she was in front of Sam.

"What are you sorry for?" Sam asked only for the blonde to slap her in the face, "What the hell?"

"It has to look like self-defense." Maxie shrugged as she pulled her sister into a hug, just as Mac and Lucky barged into the bar.

Two weeks later.

"I love this time of year." Maxie danced around as she walked down the street with Maddy and Emma at her side. Emma was dressed as a ballerina, Maddy was dressed as a cop and Maxie was a pink princess.

"Why is Maxie with us?" Jason asked as he wrapped his arm around Sam. The couple was trailing behind the three, with Robin and Patrick next to them.

"She loves us and did help us out." Sam answered, "Did we do the right thing?" Sam asked as she stopped and look Jason in the eye.

"As much as I hate what that man did, I couldn't do anything that would threaten to take me away from you and I couldn't let Patrick take that rise again either." Jason admitted, "We did the right thing and we never have to see him again." Jason promised as he placed a kiss on head.

"Hey, aren't you worried that Chloe is going to a part with Kristina alone with a lot of boys." Patrick asked as he slapped Jason on the back.

"I though you said the girls were going out?"

"I did and they are out to a party." Sam smiled.

"You want to know what is really funny." Maxie asked as the group came to a stop as the girls ran up the steps to a door.

"Maxie, I swear." Sam and Robin said at the same time.

"Michael has taken quite a liking to Chloe and I did see them at a drug store before we met up." Maxie started, "Good to know that some people know how to use protection better than others." She added as she winked at the two men,
