Being a CIA agent isn't always the best and greatest job for a girl like me. A small voice says from her standing position in the shadows. People you care about...your family...and your friends...They can't be told...unless briefed by other agents for you... The figure shrugs and walks backwards towards a desk and turns on the lamp. My name is Marlena Huffinton and I am a CIA agent for the federal government. For years...growing up I lived in Port Charles...now? I live in a small countryside that shall remain nameless throughout this tale...and here is why. I grew up my whole life in Port Charles, even attended the police academy there. I was lucky and fortunate enough to find myself waking up to receive a call from Washington to come to the CIA's training facility.

I'll give you a little history, growing up I became friends with Carly in school...and I lived next door to the Quartermaine's. Now, if you know anything about the 'males' in that family...you know the only sane one between Edward, Alan, and AJ is Jason...even if he is Sonny's Hit Man...still...the more sane and actually rather calm one of the male side for that family. And his baby sister, Emily...no matter what her problems have been in the past and even now...she needs someone she can lean on...and right now...it can't be anyone...since she's about to break. I returned to Port Charles after my training was over and was working on my first case...and before I could solve and arrest the prime suspect...is when I had to leave. Why? Well this is simple...I was about to arrest someone in Sonny's business for a large list of crimes...and as an Agent...once your cover is blown...duck and cover. And Jason was close to uncovering me being an Agent...so I made a call to my 'superiors' in Washington on a Monday night and by Tuesday I was gone. That's how fast my life changed and the only person to see me leave and get anything from me, was Emily.

Emily stopped by around 4 am before I was picked up and taken out of town. Standing to this day...that was four winters ago and I've never gone back...no matter how many times I've been asked by Emily to visit...that's all about to change.

Marlena stood in her house, holding a glass and set it down on the coaster. "I won't go back." She turned to her superiors who stood across from her. It was a rainy day in New Jersey and they were sending her back to finish the case now? 'Would you rather us wait until Mrs. Cassidine calls you and asks you to visit? Care to do it that way?' She narrowed her eyes, "Leave...when she calls...I'll consider it." Her superior's left and would return to Washington the next morning; she watched the rain fall and twinged slightly. Emily called...just like she had predicted...it was always the same...even worse now since Michael was 'presumed dead' ...Emily usually begged her to return...to try and make it right in her world again. That caused Marlena to groan and sigh...even more when she used the If not for me...then for Jason......and that's when she'd hang up. She usually would call back...but today...or tonight I wasn't hanging up. "Marlena?" "Yes Emily?" "Oh thank goodness." Marlena chuckled and moved upstairs to sit in her study. "What's it this time, Em? Need someone to play the 'white knight' and save somebody?" Emily sighed, "Marlena...I know I've been pestering about you to visit...but...please...we could all use you back now..." Marlena rubbed her forehead. "How bad is it?" "What do you mean?" "How bad is it that I would change it?" "We're all grieving in the worst...especially..." "Don't...say Jason...I kind of figured that already. Thank you." Emily blinked, "Something the matter?" "No, just dreading coming back...I'm leaving in the morning..." Emily was lost...very lost...she didn't know Marlena worked for the CIA and that coming back could turn the fires to her again. After hanging up, I felt the need to call her back and say I've changed my mind.

I spent most of the night awake, grimacing at the fact that I was afraid to see them all again...and from the numerous times that Emily has mentioned the fact that "Jason and Sam..." was the highlight of my trip. I sneered and I wish I knew why. I mean I suspect things...with the way I had left so quickly...had gone to shambles between Jason and myself...not that it already wasn't falling apart...it more than likely was going to shatter if I got any closer...or vice-versa. My ride arrived around 7 am and the driver put my bags in the trunk. I was dressed in all black...like I was attending a funeral...a funeral that was being suddenly uprooted...my own. My life connected with Port Charles had been dead since the day I left. I was staying in a hotel, because I had to remain unfindable to everyone. The car rental company dropped off a vehicle for me, and I was going to hide myself in the hotel for a while. I didn't sleep so I was going to crash right now if I didn't...I did crash...and woke up...however to the manager knocking at my door. "What?!" I yelled as I walked towards the door. "You got visitors! They're waiting in the lobby!" 'Fuck'...I sigh and pull on some clothes and walk towards the lobby, blinking as I see Emily and Carly standing before me. "Hey Marlena." "Hey Carly, Emily...how'd you two find out I was here?" "Emily came to see me...and told me you were coming to town..." I blinked. "Quiiick question." "What?" "Jason doesn't know...does he?" "Would it matter if I did?" My ears dropped at the sound of his voice. "Not really." I didn't turn around to face him, I just glared at Emily who mouthed 'I'm sorry...Carly called him...I tried to stop her.' My mind was working as I heard him walk closer. "When'd you get in town, Marlena?" "Few hours ago..." I hesitated my full answer. "You look tired." "That's nothing new."

Great, argument coming my way. CHANGE Subjects. My brain screams at me, I mentally twinge. "Ahem, moving along." I drag my gaze back to Carly. "How're you?" Carly shrugged. "Dealing...as best as I can...I'm just happy to see you." I chuckle softly; I feel that Jason believes I'm ignoring him being there. I see Emily watch him leave, my jaw twinges as she follows him. "What's that about?" Carly asks me. I shrug. "No clue. Tell Emily thanks for coming...but I wanna go back to bed..." Carly nodded. "Wanna meet me for lunch at Kelly's tomorrow?" "Sure, what time?" "12:30?" "Yeah, whatever." I hug her and return to my room. "Emily, Marlena wanted me to tell you thanks for coming...she looked really tired and went back to bed." Emily nodded. "I'm meeting her for lunch tomorrow at Kelly's...wanna join us?" "Sure...uh...what time?" "12:30." "Okay." I watch them from my window, sitting in the dark and silent as I watch them leave Jason and he looks back towards the windows and can't see me watching. I draw the curtains when his gaze is away. Returning to the hotel bed...I curl up and somehow wish I could make myself run over to him...but that is in the past...I did that a lot growing up. I'm nowhere near that person anymore...and I don't think she's coming back.

Chapter Two.</center>

Marlena woke up early the next morning and sat in bed until around 10:45 am and got ready, then drove herself into town and parked in a commuter parking lot and walked towards Kelly's. Carly and Emily were there, waiting for her. After lunch, Emily got up to excuse herself and went outside for a bit. Carly let Marlena hold Morgan and watched her as she smiled. "Emily..." Emily perked as she heard her name called before heading back inside. "Jason...hey. What's the matter?" She turned and walked towards her brother. "I hate...to have to ask you to do this for me..." Emily blinked as he spoke. "What? What is it?" Marlena handed Morgan back to Carly, smiling gently. "He's so adorable. I'm so sorry about Michael though...he was so sweet." Carly smiled and set Morgan back in his high chair. "He was...he was the sweetest little boy." I smiled and nodded in agreement, "He was...and memories are very important right now...every single one of them..." I pause because something in the mood has changed. "What's taking Emily so long?" I turn to Carly who shrugs and goes to use the bathroom. Emily returned from being outside for nearly twenty minutes, Marlena could smell the scent Jason carried around him. "What kept you, Em?" I stand up and pull my coat on as Carly returns. "Nothing." I raise a brow at her answer and just nod my head. "Carly, tell Sonny I say Hello...just...don't let him know you saw me." Carly nodded and hugged me as I left. I watched Emily as I left to return to the car. Carly turned to Emily, eyeing the piece of paper in her hand. "What's that?" Emily looked at the paper and sighed, "Jase wanted me to give it to her...I...I couldn't Carly..." Carly blinked, "Then drive back to the hotel and slip it under her door."

Emily nodded and followed Carly out, returning to the hospital until the end of her shift. She did what Carly had advised, slipped the note under Marlena's room door after asking the manager which room it was. I wasn't back yet...I had gone to the park and was sitting in the dark alone...I had been since after lunch and only left to get dinner. I was mindlessly humming a song that generally brought me to tears...but I let the tears come. Too much emotion was attached to being back here, I sighed as I stood up. I walked in silence back towards the car and drove back to the hotel and went to my room. The note made me trip as I removed my coat and picked it up. "Hmm." My brows furrowed together as I shut the door and turned on the TV and sat on the bed to carefully open it. My lungs felt the loss of air as I watched the pictures fall out. "..Jason.." I picked up the pictures and set them down behind me, I yanked the note out and read it slowly and carefully. I set the note down and do what it had asked of me...but that was four hours from now...so I set the alarm on the clock in the room and showered. I changed my clothes and sat on the bed...waiting made me scared...so I did what I usually do...I was checking the reports on the CIA information page...using my agent name and badge number. Turning the laptop off, I placed it back in the closet and laid back against the pillows...I was too tired to try and do anything else. I thought I had just closed my eyes when I heard the knocking on the door. Groaning, I got up and answered the door. "Can I come in?" I rubbed my eyes and stepped back from the door. "Sure Jason." I was struck with reality...I never call him Jason...or never did...Jason stops in his tracks as he hears me call him that, he looks at me puzzled. I just shrug my shoulders and sat down on the table...I hate chairs and don't use them unless I need to.

"You've...never called me that." Jason says to me as he removes his jacket and I'm not paying any mind, he's done that before...but this feels too strange...like we're hiding from everyone. "Time passes by...it happens..." I shrug and that was the only thing I could come up with on short notice. I suddenly shift since he's now sitting across from me...on the bed...my eyes divert to the floor...I can't look at him and I can't figure out why...the last time this happened...was when I used to have a thing for him...used to..what was it back again!? "You all right there?" "Hmm? Yeah, just fine." He's watching me carefully...I'm not giving off the most readable expression...trying to remain numb...and not letting anything control me. Jason raised an eyebrow at me and my behavior and then yanked me on the bed. I made the almost usual *THUD* sound...followed by "OOF!" I slowly sit up and grumble...then stop because something is off here...the air in the room is stranger than normal. Why is that? Brace for impact! My mind yells to me...as if I'm in Star Trek. "Somehow...in my mind..." I sit up fully after rolling onto my back. "...The table felt farther from the bed..." Jason blinks as I say that, "How far...did you think it was?" "About 120 yards...means I saw...the room...like as if I had zoomed out with a panoramic camera." "That's hard to imagine." "Not really...I could stage it." "You could?" "Yeah, hang on." I slide off the bed and move towards the closet and pull out my camera and grab the small tripod I bring with it. "See...this will...help." I set the camera on the tripod and zoomed out fully...after focusing on the bed. "Have a look...helps to imagine that I'm sitting where the camera is and you're still on the bed." I step back and lean against the wall and tilt my head as I watch him. "See what I mean?" "Not...quite." I blink and stand up fully. "How's that..?" "Kind of hard to picture it without someone in the picture." I blink again and tilt my head, "Hmmm. That could easily be fixed." I hop on the bed and my hair flies around my face. "This work?" "Yeah...except you're not facing the camera." I mentally kick myself and shift to sip up, running a hand through my hair. "Better?" "yeah." I squeak suddenly when he takes my picture. "Tricky...tricky..tricky..!" Jason grins at me; I sneer lightly and move to stand up. "Question." "What?" "Does this have a timer?" I see why he's asking that...I hope I'm right. "Yeah, it does...why?" I watch him carefully and turn away as he walks in front of me. Yup, devil of it...I'm still wanting him.

"Could you tell me where...?" I mentally whack myself and get up, sneaking past him and pointing. "Here." "Thank you." Jason moved her hand and set the timer, yanking me back on the bed to sit beside him. My eyes lilted some as I bit my lip, looking down when the camera flashed to take the picture. Still like him? Poor baby. My brain spoke to me as I got up to put the camera back in the closet. "Sneaky lil git..." I mutter as I return to sitting on the table, with my legs crossed. "Ahem...so..in the note...it said you had something to ask me..." I watch him, shifting about so I can lean on the window's edge behind me. "Yeah...I'm not sure if I should say it." I blinked at him and tilted my head. "Maybe you should take a walk around the hotel to try and clear your mind?" I watched as he got up to do as I recommended, I blinked...the last time he ever listened to me...was when I still lived here. I shrug and moved to turn the TV to face where I was sitting and watched it for quite sometime until he came back and muted it before I could. "Mind clear?" "Yeah." "Okay then." I chuckle and sit back. "So?" "Come for a walk with me?" I blink and then shrug and follow him out of the room. We end up just sitting on the edge of the road...which is empty now since it's rather late. We're sitting in silence...I recall how many times we did this back when we were growing up. "Jase?" "Yeah?" "Ever miss it?" "Miss what?" I give him a look and he shrugs. "If you could tell me why you had left...I guess I'd say no..but my answer is yes." I blink at him. "I left...because something had endangered my life...so I needed to go or be killed." Jason looked at her and somehow she could see the worry in his eyes. "But...I'm somehow no longer worried about that...I've been gone to long for it to happen." We returned to sitting in silence...before his cellphone rang and it was Sam. He left after I returned to my hotel room and I can't shake the feeling that something is controlling me. I'm arresting that suspect tomorrow...and my superior's are then letting me stay in Port Charles for a while longer. I sat down on the bed, getting my things together and humming a song to myself. The song? Westlife's "Can't Lose What You Never Had". The night seems to fly by and dawn springs on me as I shower and dress, the P.C.P.D comes with me as I make the arrest and they take him to prison.

I return to my hotel room and pack my bag and set it in inside the closet and leave to return to New Jersey for a brief meeting. I returned my badge and gun to my home so that I don't feel so much...danger. When I get back to the hotel...the manager gives me some message and I make a face as I read who they are from. Emily has invited me to stay with her and Lucky at Wyndhmere. I rub the underside of my chin and call her to let her know I'll be there in a while. I return my bags to the trunk and pay the manager for the few nights I stayed. Emily met me outside of Wyndhmere when I arrived and walked with me inside. She introduced me to Lucky and I spent some time with him while Emily was having a room made up for me. After dinner I went with Emily to the room she had me staying in and moved to sit in the darkness on the balcony across from it. I had headphones on...so if anyone came to speak with me...I couldn't hear them. I head back inside when I hear a car door close and look down to see Emily greet Jason. "Shit." I duck back inside before anyone can see me and shut the door to my room. I pace for a bit before going downstairs and sitting in the living room, laying back on the couch with a book I had brought back with me. "She should be in her room...I'll let her know..." "Who should be where, Emily?" I raise a brow as she walks in with the other two and set my book down on the coffee table as I sit up. "Oh...um...Jase is here to see you." "I can see that...and I don't bite...so he can sit." I sit back against the couch. Emily leaves to go check on Lucky and I raise a brow, tilting my head at Jason. "You can sit...or have you forgotten how?" "Not really." I watched as he sat down rather close to me, I perked when he whispered something in my ear...and I was not about to repeat it. I blink and shake my head, "You...wouldn't wanna take that risk Jason...she might get suspicious." "Just...for me?" I blink. "That's a rather open-ended question..." He looks at me and sighs. "Get back to me on it then..." He stands up to leave and I slide and stop him. "Hang on." He blinks as I have a hold of his arm, he's looking at me. This isn't part of your job as an agent! Bail out! My brain screams at me as I disobey and cut off the transmission. "What?" He keeps his eyes on me the entire time and ack...I can't believe I just did that...I kissed him for FIVE seconds and made a run for it. And locked myself in my room. "I'm dead." Is the last thing I say before I scurry under the covers and hide.

Chapter Three.</center>

I locked myself in my room for days after that...watching crime flicks like 'Se7en' and 'Ocean's 11'. Lucky kept me company when I watched them, since we were keeping each other company while Emily was off at work. "Lucky, can I tell you something?...and you cannot repeat this to Em..." Lucky blinks and looks at me, "What the hell did you do?" I wince and hold my side, as an involuntary reflex of being skinned by a bullet once. "Telling you this will either get me skinned alive or just everyone hating me..." "What did you do!" I eep softly and rub the back of my back, "I kissed Jason..." "You kisse-- Why did you kiss him?" "Did...Emily ever tell you how we met? I mean me and her." Lucky nods, I nod. "Okay, so I was friends with Carly when she first met Jason...I have a ghost that haunted me while I was around him...and when I left town...so did the ghost." Lucky looks at me as I move to change the movie. "Does the ghost have a name?" "Oh yeah." I rest my hand over my chest where my heart is. "And it came back the second I set foot in town." Lucky blinked, "It's that bad?" "Are you kidding me!? I kept myself locked in my room most of my life because I lived next to the Quatermaines." "You did?" "Yup, Emily and Carly had a hell of a time trying to get me out..." He tilted his head as I sifted through the DVDs and put 'S.W.A.T' in. "Well...minus twice...one day I went outside to get the mail...and forgot why I never left the house after school..." "And the other time?" "Emily had conned her family to throwing me a birthday party...that was...okay you know how when people get angry at someone for a really shitty reason?" "Yeah?" "Try that and ten-fold it...I threw the water thing right against the wall..." "Holy shit..." "Yeah, talk about showing my temper...I walked right out the door and no one tried stopping me. My parents were kind of shocked when Monica called and told them what had happened...and she didn't blame me..." "What did they say?" "My father asked me why I did it and I told them the truth...although it wasn't until the next day that I realized they had TOLD everyone why I had done that...I was thankful to hear that Jason wasn't there..." "How'd you find that out?" "Emily came over and told me. There was a third mistake but I tend to hate to recall this one...and if you wanna hear it...ask Em...I swore I'd never repeat it." Lucky nodded as the maid came up to tell us dinner was ready.

I wander downstairs with him and eat very little. "Not feeling well?" "No...not really..." I sigh and sit back in my chair. "I'm heading back upstairs. See ya later Lucky." As I left, Emily came in. "Hey Em, I need to ask you a question." "What is it Lucky?" "Marlena was telling me something’s...and she said there was a third mistake that she had happen..." Emily bit her lip, "Let's go into the living room." "Okay." Lucky followed Emily into the living room and sat down. "It was during the summer and I was over her house for most of the afternoon. Her parents weren't home so we were in her backyard tanning and Jason had come over to bring me home...and I'm pretty sure by now it's clear that she has a thing for him...well...he had come over with a shirt on and she 'pretended' to lock herself in the small shed they had in the yard...and she came out after we had left...she called me later and told me what had happened." "Whoa." "Yeah...and Jason said she seemed really distant when she came back...she still seems that way..." Lucky nodded. "She said the ghost that haunts her while she's around him...is back...and when I asked her what the ghost was...she pointed to her heart." Emily gasped, "I didn't know it was that bad...or that serious..." Lucky nodded, Emily's attention turned to the butler. "Yes?" "There's a Mr. Morgan here to see Miss Huffinton." "Thank you...show him in..." Emily smiled and looked at Lucky. "I better go get her." Emily stood up, Lucky looked at her. "Take your time...I think she's a little nervous around him now." Emily nodded and left to go upstairs towards the room I was staying in. Jason walked into the living room. "Hey Jase." "Hey Lucky." "Jason, something the matter?" Lucky raised a brow...Jason looked at little on the 'lost' side. "I just...feel as if I'm being in two directions...one by Sam and one now by Marlena..." Lucky blinked, "Maybe you should just try and be honest with one of them now and the other when you get home?" Jason shrugged. "I hope that works." Emily returned to the living room, "She doesn't feel like coming down...but says you can go on up Jase." "Thanks." Jason left the living room to head upstairs; I was settled on the bed with a pillow in my lap as I watched Brom Stoker's 'Dracula'. I usually have the lights off when I watch this movie, since it's one of those that makes even more sense to watch in complete darkness. I left my room door open and was just on the part where Mina and Lucy are running around in the rain when Jason walks in the room.

"Hey." I say as I quickly look up at him and return my staring gaze to my laptop screen. "Mind if I shut this?" Jason asks as he steps in the room, I shake my head 'no' and he shuts the door. "What's on your mind?" I raise a brow, not that he can see me do it...it's dark unless you count the light from the screen. "We need to talk.." "Is this a talk where I listen until you're done?...or I just listen and get back to you later on it?" I watch as he sits on the bed next to me. "The kind where you listen until I am done." I hate those. I mutter in my mind and mute the movie for now. "I'm listening..." "After...I left yesterday...my mind...everything felt like it was...splitting in two...between you and Sam..." I watch as he sighed and I could feel the sense to run and hurt myself...in a way I only think of if so angry or upset. Throw a vase. "I love Sam...I know I do...and she loves me...but..." I just blink as he looks directly at me...in a way that makes me feel so uneasy....that I turn away. Jason lifts his hand to turn my face to look back at him. "I can't help thinking that there's something I've been missing...Is there something I am missing?" I blink at him. "I can't say anything unless you're done...are...you done?" Jason sighs and runs his hands over his face, "No...I'm not... but I just want to know if there's something that I need to know and understand here..." He gives me that look that says 'I'm finished'. I sigh heavily, "I'm assuming here that you want the truth...on...a whole lot of things." I rub the back of my neck and keep my eyes on the pillow. "Yes, you possibly are missing something...and there maybe something you need to understand...but if you want anymore than that...I suggest you talk to Emily or Lucky about it..." "I'd rather you tell me." I frowned some and just nodded. "Do...you remember that party Emily conned your parents into having for me?" "Yeah...I do...I heard you threw the water jar." "Yes, I did..." "Well...okay...lemme explain...when my mom first introduced me to your family...I had a ghost." "A ghost?" "Just...listen." "And it would follow me everytime I saw you or whatever..." "Did it have a name?" "Yes...and it left when I left town..." "What's the ghost's name?" "My heart." Jason blinked, "You mean...you've had feelings for me...since we first met?" "Imagine that." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Ahem, Jason I'm not the most...open person about how I think or feel for...er...about anything."

"So...what should we do about this?" I raise a brow as he asks me that. "Do yourself a favor...go over in your mind...the pros and cons of what we know now...and I'm telling you...do not break Sam's heart..." Jason blinks at me. "Just...listen. It wouldn't do you any good if you hurt her..just because of me. It's just...not a good idea...unless we're both sure we want it to go..anywhere else...but it more than likely won't." "Why not?" "Jase..." I chuckle. "I live in New Jersey...what you gonna come see me every weekend or something?" Jason smirked at me and kissed me on my forehead. "We'll see...I'll weasel your address out of Emily." I eyed him. "That's a smart move." "When are you leaving?" "Twelve days." Jason smiled and pulled me into a deep kiss and then left. "I'll see you tomorrow." I blinked as he left and squeaked lightly and returned to my movie.

Chapter Four.</center>

Jason returned to the penthouse, Sam walked over to him. "Hey. Um...Sonny called while you were gone. He needs to see you." "Did he say what it was about?" Sam shook her head 'no', Jason nodded. "All right. I'll be back." Jason left again to head over to Sonny's. "Jason's here, Mr. Corthinos." "Send him in, Max. Thanks." "Sam said you called, what's going on?" Jason walked in as Max shut the door behind him. "I have your next job...uh; it's the file on the desk." Jason moved over and opened the file. A look of shock on his face as he saw a copy of Marlena's CIA Badge with her on it. "Her?" "Yeah she's uh...a threat to our business Jason." Jason nodded and closed the folder. "I'll handle it." "Good. Good." Jason moved to leave and on his way back to the penthouse, when he got back...he wrote something down. "Sam?" "Yeah Jase?" Sam walked out of the kitchen and Jason handed her the note with Marlena's name on it. "I need you to deliver that to Wyndhmere for me." Sam blinked and looked at him, "What's this about?" "Business." Sam nodded and went to deliver the note to Wyndhmere; Emily thanked her and took the note to Marlena. Back at the penthouse, Jason sat on the stairs that went upstairs and ran his hands over his face. No wonder why she left so suddenly...the agent I was about to expose...was her...and now she's endanger again... Emily slipped the note under Marlena's door and went to go to bed. Sam returned to the penthouse and sat down beside Jason. "You okay?" "Yeah...just...the person Sonny wants me to take out...is a close friend." Sam frowned and pulled him into a hug. I picked up the note and opened it, my jaw dropped as I read it. I picked up my cellphone and called my superiors. I was endanger. They sent someone out to stand in for me and I was put in a safe house. I locked myself in the room I was kept in. "...Jason..." I hit my hand against the wall as tears stung my eyes. They'd let him take the life of the woman who was 'supposed' to be me...I knew they would...just to fool Sonny...I was too good of an agent for them to let me be killed. Emily had gotten a hold of the note the next morning...after 'me' had never come back from going out. So she now assumed Jason had taken me out and was angry. She showed Lucky the note and he didn't know what to tell her, he held her close.

Jason knew it wasn't the REAL me he had killed...and removed the heart from the woman's body to bring it back to show Sonny that I was 'gone'. They men who were 'supposed' to be watching me...had fallen asleep and I left in the middle of the night. "Sonny." Jason said as he handed the box to his boss. "I did it." "This proof?" Jason nodded as Sonny opened the box and saw the still warm heart laying there in a small pool of blood. I was walking through the park; my superiors would run a fake ad in the paper about me being killed. I sat on a bench in remote silence as people walked by without saying a word to me. I stayed in the park all night and curled to a tree that was far away from any path before day break. Jason had returned to the penthouse, Sam was there...waiting for him. "So?" Jason looked at her and just moved to go upstairs. Sam blinked and followed him up the stairs. "Jase? Are you okay?" Jason shook his head. "I...faked taking the person out...to keep Sonny from making me do it..." Sam tilted her head to the side. "Aren't you worried that he'll find out?" Jason shrugged, "I'm not sure if I should be..." He moved to leave and go for a walk. Marlena had fallen asleep in the spot she had sat in. Silent as she heard Emily coming and ducked behind something to watch. Emily would run into Jason. "Jason...how could you!" "Emily..I didn't really..." I stood up from where he was. "He killed my stand-in." They both turned to me. "It was better if he did...my superiors..." I walked out from behind the bush. "Would not risk me getting whacked." Jason looks at me...as does Emily and I squeak as she hugs me. "Don't...let anyone know...okay?" I eye Emily and she nods as she walks off. "Where'd you go?" "Safe house." "Then why..?" "I escaped." "Why?" "I'm not an animal, so they can't cage me up...that and the guards fell asleep." Jason watched me I as just stood there, out of harm's way for the moment. I was about to say something when he dragged me off towards a remotely empty area in the park. I blinked, "Jason?...if you're...thinking what I think you are...won't we get in TROUBLE for it!?" "Right now.." Jason yanked me towards a tree and kissed me rather deeply. "I near had to lose you...that's never happening."

In a rather matter of seconds, Jason had me against a tree. I winced some at the impact of my back touching the tree's neck very hard. Jason had his body full pressed against mine, as I was too tired from the lack of 'good' sleep the night before. His hands roam over my...at the moment...clothed body and stopped at the hem of my shirt to slide under it. His hands are freezing as he touch’s my skin and I close my eyes and shiver some. "I promise...I won't hurt you." He whispers against my neck and bites it lightly. I wince some and moan as his hands caress my chest through my bra. As his hands move south to undo my pants, I can't help but worry if we will be caught. I dare not say anything because I won't deny it...I want this. I can feel them unzip and be pulled down as he...ahem...mounts me. What I don't see is that Sam has stumbled upon us and is hiding behind some bushes. As Jason moves within me, I can't help but wince & moan...you'd never know but being fucked against a tree HURTS LIKE A BITCH IN HEAT. Of course, collapsing is allowed once we've reached climaxed....I fell onto him and slowly caught my breath. Wincing as I curled to him, my face buried in his arms as he holds me close. Sam had left to return to the penthouse; Jason walked me back to Wyndhmere and then went back to the penthouse, not knowing Sam had caught us. I sunk myself in the tub and curled under the bubbles of the bath, I was listening to Westlife's What I Want Is What I've Got. When Jason entered the penthouse, Sam was sitting on the couch. "Jase..." "Yeah Sam?" "...In the park?!..." Jason snapped to attention. "You...saw us?" "A-duh!" Sam walked over and slapped him, then moved to leave. "..Bastard!" She said as she left, Jason put his hand on his face, where she slapped him. I returned to the bed after my bath and curled under the covers and laid back...still in slight pain. Jason went and put some ice on the slap mark, as it stung and took some painkillers for it. Sam went to rat Jason out to Sonny. Sonny was PISSED when he found out; he'd take care of it himself...after he spoke to Jason. Sadly...Carly had overheard...and was coming to warn me...but went to warn Jason first. I was asleep when this was happening.

Chapter Five.</center>

I woke up to the sound of loud knocking at my bedroom door, I climbed out of the bed and walked towards the door and opened it. I blinked as I saw Carly standing there. "Carly? What's...what time is it?" "Quarter of three...am..." I rub my eyes and sigh. "What's the matter?" "Sonny found out that you're not dead...Sam came by and told him that Jason didn't pull the job." My jaw dropped, "I'm dead...give me a few minutes, okay?" "Okay." Carly nodded and waited in the hallway as I picked up my cellphone and called the safe house, my superiors weren't very happy with me...but listened. "Send me Lycan." I said to them and they did as I asked. Lycan wasn't a gun...Lycan was a large man...who would stop Sonny if he tried to take me out. In thirty minutes, Lycan was at Wyndhmere and left with me to go out. "Is Jason all right?" I asked Carly as we walked. "Sam was pretty mad..." "And I care?...I know I should but I won't." Carly looked at me, "I wouldn't think it anything else from you." I smirk, "Thanks for the vote of..." My words get caught off as I see Lycan signal us to get down behind something. "Crap." I watch as Sonny comes into view...Lycan and him began to have words. "Turn away Carly." Carly looks at me and I just give her a stern look as she does what I said...I turned away somewhat from the situation and closed my eyes. Lycan comes to retrieve us from our hiding spot, "Mr. Corinthos will no longer be a threat Agent Huffinton." "Agent?" Carly looks at me, I ignore her gaze for now. "Thanks Lycan." Lycan leaves us and I turn to Carly. "That's right, Special Agent Marlena Huffinton of the Central Intelligence Agency in Washington, D.C." Carly blinked, "Wouldn't that make it difficult...if you were with Jason?" "Eh? Um...no...because I am allowed leniency...for whomever I date...they can't use it against me." "Really?" "By-laws, section 4.5." Carly blinked at me, I smiled. "Just can't tell anyone you know...well...Jason, Sonny, and Emily already know. But that's it." "How dangerous is it?" "Eh...well...dangerous enough that details...you don't usually tell." "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" "Depends on the case and depends on the agent...know where I'm going with this?" Carly nods, "Can I ask you something?" I blink, "Depends on the questions." "Have you ever had...to tell..." I hold my index finger up, "One time...there was a case...a year ago...and I wasn't working it...but the agents who were...were close friends...they had received word that the youngest child had been killed...and the bureau didn't know how to tell the parents that their baby was dead...so...we held a funeral for the baby...even paid for it...but the parents didn't find that good enough...and they wanted the two agents fired..." "Were they?" "Yes...only to be re-instated this year." "Are you serious?" "Yeah, but to desks...they don't work the field..."

I moved to walk away from her, heading down a path through the park. Carly frowned and followed me, "Are you okay?" "Not really...I think I'm going to call my superiors and have them place me on voluntary paid leave for a while...which is about sixth months..." "Are you serious?" "Yeah." "I should get back to Wyndhmere...and pack...please don't tell Jason..." "He's going to ask...what am I supposed to say?" I shrugged and continued to walk away, silent as I left the park...running my hand through my hair as I returned to Wyndhmere. I packed my things and set my bags on the bed and moved to leave quietly. Lucky was resting in his room and Emily was at work, I left a note on my room door and took my car that I had come back with....back to New Jersey. I returned to New Jersey and called my superiors from the house, they gave me voluntary paid leave and I unpacked my things. Around seven or eight is when my phone began to ring and I looked at the caller ID. "..Fuck.." It was Carly and I picked it up, "Hello?" "Marlena? Emily gave me your number...and she wanted me to tell you..." "Tell me what?" My brows furrowed together as I set my glass of soda down and sat on the sofa. "...She told Jason...and he's coming out.." "Oh THIS will be good." I sigh and sit back, my hand on my forehead. “I need to hang up now…” “Why?” “Work calls.” I hang up and rub my temples as I move towards the loud stereo system and pop in a CD. Over the system speakers played Gavin DeGraw’s “Just Friends”. Moving up the stairs, I toss my jacket off onto the large bed and sit in the recliner across from the window. Langley, which is one of the CIA bases in Virginia, sends out a couple of men to help me move things around. “Thanks guys.” I say as I escort them out and slump down against the front door.

Soon, my cell begins to ring and I answer it. “Hello?” “Hey Marlena.” “Oh, hey Emily…” “Something wrong?” “I’m not sure.” “Wanna talk about it?” “Uh…not really.” Getting up, I move away from the door and wince as I hear tires halt to a screech outside the house. I keep walking away…towards the backroom and shut the door behind me. “I reconsider that.” “Why?” “Jason just arrived.” “How do you know it’s him?” I cringe as the front door creaks open. “It’s him, Sam, or Sonny….and either way…that could be very dangerous for me…” Kicking open a large metal case, I bend down in front of it to remove a .44 from the case and shut it. Stuffing the .44 into the back of my pants, I return to sitting down and watch the door. “What are you going to do if it is Sam or Sonny?” “Well…if it’s Sam…I have an emergency action button…” “What’s that?” “It contacts my superiors in Washington and agents in the neighborhood come and take her away….same goes for Sonny…” “Is that your only choice?” “Uh…well…no.” “You have another?” “Well…it’s a bit more hazardous…” “…” “It’d be self-defense if they attacked me…in a manner…” I groan as the door opens, “Never mind…I have to hang up now.” Just by staring at the floor…I already know that it is Jason. “Okay, well…call me tomorrow…all right?” “I will. Bye.” Hanging up, I lean back against the bay window pillows. “Comfortable?” Jason asks while moving towards the window, after shutting the door behind him of course. “In a sense…why?” I shift to stuff the .44 under the pillows behind me. Adjusting his jacket, he sits down across from me. “I was just asking.” “Sorry…about my…seemingly here and back again attitude.” “It’s to be expected…” I chuckle and shake my head. “How long are you staying?” “A week.” “Ah, well…it would be best to either select the guest house…or guestroom…”

“You have a guest house?” “Yes, I do…my grounds-keeper cleans it three times a month…just incase.” “I think I’ll stay in the guest house.” “Good choice.” Getting up, I lead him through the backyard towards the matching guest house. “Here’s the keys…local market is 2 and ¾ miles from here incase you need anything. Everything works…since…I get paid enough to pay all the bills…anyway…your bag is still in the house so…” He looks at me…then blinks…”What’s that button for?” “That? Well…due to advance knowledge and such…the CIA built an awning that goes from here to the back door…when it rains. It’s steel-framed, so it’s never coming down.” I smile and walk off, returning with his bag and then going back inside to clean up for a while. That night it began to rain, I watched from the dark shadows in my room as the awning sprung up & out to connect to the back door of the main house. Moving away, I climb into bed and sit back against the pillows. I don’t turn anything on…since it’s a thunderstorm and I curl under the bedcovers, facing my door. He left to go to the local market…it stays open late for tourists and such. I’m half-asleep/half-awake when he returns, curling against one of the throw pillows I try and fall back asleep…but something is very very wrong…and I wish I knew what…

Chapter Six.</center>

 Hail to the light that my baby watches me

In the darkness of the window

I can hardly get to sleep

Wish for the hour that

The nighttime soon shall pass

And the morning dew will bring us

To a day our souls can last

Love has a reason

There’s a meaning to the world

We’re giving love…

Marlena moved around her bedroom after changing into a pair of black jeans, green tanktop, and boots. She was drying her hair when there was a knock on her door; her hazel-brown eyes looked up and wrapped the towel around her still damp hair. “Hang on a second…” Walking towards the door, I carefully open it and chuckle. “Yes Jason?” “I need…your help with something. Can you come to the guest house?” “Sure. Give me a minute?” “Yeah, I’ll be downstairs.” “’kay.” I shut the door and go back to drying my hair, then walk down the stairs towards the foyer. “Wha…?” I blink as I look around the area, nearly three dozen rose petals…red, pink and white. “A-shee.” I mumble and follow them outside, walking under the awning towards the guest house and blinked. “Jase…?” Slowly opening the already ajar door and continue to follow the rose petals towards the kitchen and blink. “I see a table set for two…dinner cooking…near done…candles…what am I missing…?” “Me?” I blink at his voice and stumble as I turn around, “…uh…” Yes, that’s a yes! “..debatable…” I mumble for some reason. “Something wrong?” He walks…no no no…correction!...brushes by me and I meep. Last time I felt this nervous I had locked myself in a room until he was out of sight. Great. “No, nothing. Why?” “Just asking.” He eyes me cautiously as I move towards the large window and lean against it, that’s while he’s putting dinner on the table. “Red or White?” “Depends on what you made. Fish is white, pasta is red.” “How’d you know that?” I chuckled, “My grandmother was born in Italy…Italians know these things.” “Dinner’s ready.” He says and pulls my chair out for me.

Later that week, I’m with a friend of mine in the nearby park. “So…what’s he like?” “He? He who?” “Ahem, Marlena…you suck at lying. Ever since you came back from Port Charles…you’ve been different.” “Ah, well…that can be explained Savannah.” “Then talk!” “Right, remember how I told you who I grew up next to?” “Yes, the Quatermaines…why?” I just raise a brow at her as we walk towards the center of the park. “Oh jeez, it’s him?” Didn’t you tell me that he had someone?” “I did…and know I don’t know where I’m stuck.” “Creepy.” “More like complicated is the answer.” I move and sit against an empty bench, watching the children play on the jungle gym. Savannah sits next to me and leans back, “Well…do you have any idea what you’re gonna do?” “No, but there’s next to almost gone history between us…” “You’re not thinking of sending him back…are you?” “Not just that, Savannah…sending him back…to Sam…to the life he knows…” “Are you mad!?” “Yes, I am…madly in love…but he’s got someone…and that’s dangerous…” “Why?” “Because he’s a hit man.” “Shit.” “Yeah…so…I’m safer away from that if I stay behind.” “It’s not up for discussion…is it?” I just eye her carefully and shake my head. “Figured as much…how do you think he’ll take it?” “Oh bother…” “I have a something to say…just listen okay, Marlena?” “Listening.” “All right, if you where in terrible way…who would you go running to for help you?” I look at her quickly. “Another thing as well…who’ll hold you when you cry? Because it won’t be me…” I blink as she gets up. “I’ll see you later, Marlena.” “Bye Savannah.” She has a point…but what do I know!? I spent most of my teenage years AVOIDING JASON. I rub my temples as I get up and move to leave, stopping short in my tracks as I see Emily, Sam, and Carly coming my way. “Fuck…”

“There she is.” Emily points towards me as they get closer. “Yeah.” Sam says as she walks in between the two. “Emily, Sam, Carly…what are you three doing here? Or should I say What brings you three to New Jersey?…whichever comes first…” I raise a brow. “Jason left the penthouse and we can’t get a hold of him.” “Huh…why come looking here?” “Sam had a feeling that he came to see you.” “Strange, why would he do that?” I continue walking towards the gate as the three follow me. “Why wouldn’t he?” “Good question Sam, answer that for me Emily and/or Carly. Why would Jason come to see me of all people if his boss wanted me dead and my supervisors had taken care of that? So please…! Enlighten me! All of you!” I look at them all separately and continue walking. “..It’s not that we don’t believe you –“ I put my hand up to silence Carly. “Three more blocks and we will be where I live…house number 77…go into the back yard using the gate on the left side of the house…there’s a guest house….find out for yourselves…” I shook my head as they walked past me towards my house and I followed; going straight into the main house then up the stairs. “…This is SUCH a disaster!...” I groan and sit in my large black chair. In the backyard; Sam, Carly, and Emily are approaching the guest house. “I’ll knock..” Sam says and knocks on the door, Jason calls out. “Coming..!” Sam waits as Jason approaches the door, I happen to be watching from my upstairs window with a cigarette in my mouth. “..Ye—Sam, Carly, Emily….what are you three doing here?”

“We could ask you the same question, Jason…” Sam says as her arms cross her chest and I wince while moving away from the window. “I better go out for a while…” I move towards the stairs and press a button on my way down to open the garage. The rumbling makes the four all look towards the garage as a black Chevy Avalanche pulls out and disappears down the road. I can only not try and imagine the conversation they’re having as I am gone. I went to my friend Kaynnah’s house for a while…she is Savannah’s twin sister. “Just hoping they’ll be gone by the time you get back?” Kaynnah puts the tea mug in my hands and sits beside me, sipping her’s. “Well, not just the girls on that...him as well.” I sip my tea and lean back. Kaynnah blinks and looks to me, a stunned look on her face. “Dare I ask why?” “Little thing called ‘not wanting to live in the past…which is what is happening.” “Oh…” “Yeah… ‘Oh’ is right.” I set my mug down and stand up to walk around the living room, just then Savannah walks in. “Hey Marlena…what are you doing here…?” I fill her in on what has happened and she pats me on the back.

“Oh bubba…” Savannah says with a long sigh as she sits down across from me. “What are you going to do?” “Good question…I have no idea.” I settle back against the couch, arms outstretched over the back of it. Kaynnah then speaks up, “I’ll drive over and see if they’re still around…at the same time make dinner for you to go home to…If they still are…I’ll call you before I leave. Okay?” “Works for me.” I toss Kaynnah the keys to my house and watch her leave. “Come on.” Savannah leads me towards the parlor to relax in as we watch some TV. Before you know it, Kaynnah has returned and I head back on home to eat dinner. A few hours later, my phone rings as I am watching some MTV which I rarely ever do. “Hello?” “Hey.” “Hey Emily, what time did you guys leave?” “Shortly after you did…maybe like forty-five minutes after.” “What happened?” “Sam and Jason had a fight…she left first and then Carly tried to get him to come back. He wouldn’t, but after I spoke to him…he came home.” I sigh and lean back against my chair as I listen. “This is not good. I think I should stay in New Jersey for a while.” Emily sighs, “I’ll come and visit okay? Oh and good news! Sam and Jason found Micheal…AJ had him…” She went on to explain what had happened…even the thing with AJ’s death and all. “Dear Lord…that’s hell to put a nine year old through…” I shake my head as I shut off the TV and move back into the kitchen.

After hanging up with Emily, I head up the stairs to bed.

The End.
