All that you left behind to save the world.

Jack looked at the girl her head was bleeding and she had dirt smudged on her face what a way to get to know your kid. He grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the wreckage before anybody else got there. He held on to her arm while he made a call. Elizabeth tired to pull away but he had death grip on her.

-Um let me go.-

-I didn’t think they come after me like this. Messing with my kid.- He growled

-What- She gasped.

-I didn’t want to spring it on you like this.-

-Wait kid? Your wrong I have a father granted a bastard but still.- She said.

-He’s not you father I am, and I have to get you out of here.-

-No I have to go to Jason and Sonny they warned me, I was too pissed to listen.-

-Who’s… never mind this was about me.-

-No this was about me.-

-How about you come with me, I tell you mine you tell me yours.-

Jack got her into the black truck with tented windows. They drove toward New York City right out of Port Charles. Now Liz knew she should scream or something but the truth was she was just to fucking tired. Jack was glad she didn’t put up a fuss; he was to fucking tired for it.

-Do I get to know or do I get dragged around as usual.- She sighed.

-I’m a man who’s in constant trouble.-

-I know the type.-

-What type? Why do you know the type- He couldn’t believe how fatherly that sounded.

-Life.- Jack noted how tired she sounded.

Was he to late to help his daughter? No Sam had told him that he could never really be too late to be a father.

-Here we are.-

She got out and looked at the hotel.

-What are we doing here-

-You need rest and I need to get this mess cleaned up.-

-How this is for Sonny and Jason to deal with and I have to call them.-

-No you don’t, I’ll make calls you take a shower and climb into the bed and get sleep you look like you need it.-

-I do, I don’t think I’ve ever been so tired before. Jack was it-

-Yeah.-

-Thanks.-

-Happy Birthday Elizabeth.-

-How did… never mind just glad I didn’t have to tell anyone.-

She could hear him talking but her head was so groggy that she couldn’t make out what he was saying. She shook her and sat up groaning at that. She then let her ears perk up.

-Mobsters! How does my daughter caught up with mobsters-

-No Carter, no she’s not going back she’s staying with me. If I see that son of a bitch in a dark alley.-

-No I can’t calm down, you didn’t see her Carter, and she looked…beat.-

Elizabeth sighed.

-Yeah but she’s my kid, so she also looked like she didn’t go down without a fight.-

-Now about these mobsters the president still owes me one. Pressure is what these thugs use.-

-NO-

Elizabeth jump out of the bed and grabbed the phone.

-Hi Carter-

-Yes Elizabeth.-

Liz looked at Jack it’s a women, she frowned at him.

-Your call your girlfriend Carter-

-She’s not my girlfriend.-

-I’m not his girlfriend we work together.- Sam said over the phone.

-Yeah look, this isn’t as bad as it sounds.-

-It isn’t? Sonny Corinthos is a thug and he put you in danger.- Jack snapped.

-You sound reasonable right now Carter.- Liz said into the phone.

-You can call me Sam.-

-Why doesn’t he-

-He’s technically my commanding officer.-

-Commanding what are you a Marine-

-No, how dare you.- Jack gasp.

Elizabeth heard Sam laugh on the other end of the line.

-Air Force.-

-Your a pilot-

-Among other things can I have the phone back- Elizabeth stepped away.

-Look, Sonny and Jason tired to take care of me. They’ve watched over me at my worst times. I don’t want anything to happen to them.-

-Fine don’t call the president Carter, tell the general.- Jack yelled at the phone.

-No, please Jack.- Jack sighed.

-It’s clear as my kid your going to have me wrapped around your pinky.-

Sam laughed again.

-Well then what do we do Elizabeth you are in danger.- Sam asked.

-Play dead.- Jack said.

-What-

Jack was looking at the news.

-They think your dead your going to stay that way. If this Corinthos has a problem then let him deal with it. You have a problem with that- He asked looking at her.

-Yes, but as usual I don’t have a choice so I’ll make the best of it.-

-Good, phone.- He took the phone.

-Yeah Carter see you in a couple of hours, you think you handle a new Identity for her-

-Yeah I forgot who I was talking to bye I…ah yeah bye Carter.-

Elizabeth didn’t miss it almost said I love you. Question was why didn’t he?

-So Carter is as solider-

-A major in the Air force.-

-And you’re…-

-A Colonel.-

-Cool, so you think you’re my father-

-No I don’t think… I am your father.-

Jack took something out of his wallet, he handle it with the up most care and handed it to her. Elizabeth looked at him in shock she had those picture. They where her favorite times with her father that was best in the whole world. He loved her and wasn’t disappointed in her; he was so young and so…

-This is you-

-Yeah. This is all my fault.-
