Vengeance
Chapter 1
As his best friend lets out a small moan he tells her "You're lucky I showed up when Idid."
"I suppose"
"You suppose? If I hadn't showed up Jason Morgan would have killed you on the spot? And for what? Jewels? I know you love danger but was it really worth it?"
"They are very pretty jewels and you know that these jewels are worth it. We'll finally be debt free once they're sold off on the black market and not only that but we will have a lot of money leftover" Carly comments as she picks up one of the necklaces that she grabbed in the heist
"I can't wait until we leave Port Charles and get rid of those things. Having them nearby is very nerve racking" He states as Carly places the necklace back into the box they had put the stolen jewels in.
"You worry way too much Brody besides we need to pay off Big Sal before his goons come after us for the money we owe him"
"No I worry just enough, you on the other hand hardly worry enough. I know Big Sal is not a guy to mess with but Sonny Corinthos is worse than Big Sal" He tells her as he finishes stitching her up "There all done"
Glancing down at his handy work Carly comments "I can't believe you quit medical school. You're stitching is perfect Brody."
"I told you the medical field isn't for me"
He sighs out heavily as he tosses the needle he used to stitch up Carly in the nearby trashcan "You're also good with a gun" Carly smirks
"That may be true but I didn't enjoy tonight. I only went after you because I knew you had gotten in way over your head and luckily for you I did or you would have been fitted with a nice pair of cement shoes before being thrown in the harbor."
"Thank you for tonight" Carly smiles at him brightly.
"Oh don't even try that smile on me Caroline Benson. It doesn't work on me like it does on most. I know that smile all too well and I'm immune to it, but you're welcome." Letting out a heavy sigh he goes on to say… "We should get some rest since we're leaving early tomorrow morning for Florida"
Chewing on her lower lip a little Carly says "About that…"
"What?"
"I'm not leaving with you tomorrow."
"What are you talking about?" Brody asks with a frown across his face since she was talking nonsense.
"I'm staying in Port Charles Brody. I trust you with the jewels to pay off the debt we both owe and to split the difference once our debt is paid off." Carly explains
"I don't understand. Why would you want to stay in a small town like this? Especially after stealing from Sonny Corinthos, have you gone mad woman? You can't stay here. If Sonny Corinthos finds out you were behind the robbery tonight he will kill you"
"I'm not crazy. I know what I'm doing and I've been planning to stay here for some time now. I just didn't feel the need to mention it to you until now. Sonny Corinthos will never find out I was the one who robbed him along with your assistance so there is no need for you to worry about me or your own safety"
"Why do you want to stay in a small town like this? What could Port Charles possibly have to offer you Carly that you can't find back home?"
"Vengeance" Carly simply replies as she locks eyes with her best friend since she didn't choose to go to Port Charles on a whim.
Watching as their doctor stitched Jason's arm up, Sonny questions "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine" Jason simply states since the only thing that was hurting him right now was his pride. He always prided himself on being the best but tonight he failed. He failed Sonny and he failed himself when those two bastards got away with the black market jewels they were supposed to sell…"I'm going to find those sons of bitches and make them pay Sonny" Jason goes on to tell him
"Sorel is probably behind this. He's the only idiot in town stupid enough to come after me" Sonny states with a clench jaw since tonight's mistake cost them a lot.
"Probably and for once he got himself some good men" Jason comments as the doctor finishes stitching him up.
"I'll send you my bill Mr. Corinthos"
"Thanks for coming by doc" Sonny calls out to the doctor
"Anytime Mr. Corinthos, Mr. Morgan be careful with that arm"[i] he states before leaving the penthouse.
"Rolando said there was a masked woman there"
"I had her but out of nowhere this guy took all of us off guard and they both escaped" Jason admits with a heavy sigh
"It takes a hell of a strong woman to play in our world" Sonny notes since typically women were arm candy in their world not soldiers
"She was a fighter, but also stupid to take what belongs to you" Jason comments
"I want them found, the sooner the better. I need to have them confirm that Sorel is behind this before I strike back at him" Sonny states since he knew there was a remote chance that Sorel had nothing todo with the hit they took tonight
"I won't rest until they are found" Jason promises
"Are you sure you're up to it?" Sonny questions since Jason was shot tonight
"I'm fine" Jason states as he grabs his leather jacket "I'll get back to you once they're found"
As Jason walks out of the penthouse Sonny makes his way towards the mini bar. After pouring himself a drink he brings the glass up to his lips before angrily tossing the glass across the room. He watches the glass break into tiny pieces on the floor as the Brandy that was in his glass splatter all over the floor he silently vows to make all involved pay for taking what belonged to him. Normally he didn't go after women because there was an unspoken code about women and children but this woman broke that code the second she went after what was his. She was playing a man's game and she was going to suffer the consequences just as any man who came after him would.
"Vengeance? On whom?" Brody asks confused that Carly was talking about revenge since she didn't know a soul in Port Charles.
"On my family" Carly declares as she stands up from the chair she was sitting on and walks towards the window of her hotel room.
"Your family? What are you talking about? Your mom died a few months ago…oh wait Frank Benson lives here?"
"Luckily for Frank Benson I have no idea if he's dead or alive. For his sake he better be dead because if I ever cross paths with him I'll make him wish he was dead" Carly declares since Frank Benson ruined her mama's life and hers. Because of him they lived penny to penny and often had to go without.
"Then what are you talking about? Frank Benson is the only family you have left" Brody points out since she was making absolutely no sense
Fighting back the tears Carly declares out loud for the first time to anyone "Virginia wasn't my real mama. I was adopted Brody"
Making his way over towards he asks stunned "You were adopted? What are you talking about? I've known you since we were kids and this is the first time I ever heard of this"
"I didn't know I was adopted until recently. When I was going through mama's things I found the adoption papers hidden in a box in her closet. At first I didn't want to believe it. I didn't want to believe that not only was I abandoned by Frank Benson but I was abandon by the woman who was supposed to love me unconditionally; my mother. I tried to ignore what I found but it was bothering me so I did some digging and found out who my biological mother was and where she lives. Her name is Bobbie Spencer and she's a nurse here in Port Charles.
"And your father?"
"I don't know. On my real birth certificate that I found with the adoption papers it says the father was unknown. "
"I'm sorry Caroline" Brody utters out as he pulls her into a hug.
"And she's going to be sorry she turned her back on her own flesh and blood" Carly declares as she hugs him back.
Pulling away from her, Brody asks "Are you sure you want vengeance on this woman? Maybe she had a good reason to give you up?"
"What good reason could there be to give up your own flesh and blood Brody? There is NO good reason to do that other than her own selfishness."
"I don't know why she would give you up but maybe you should look into her reasons before striking at her in anger."
"Or maybe she just thought I wasn't good enough for her" Carly softly says as she fights back the tears that wanted to fall… "Just like Frank Benson thought I wasn't good enough to be his daughter. What I don't understand that is why he even bothered to adopt me if he didn't want to be a fucking father!"
"Hey, whatever reason why Frank and your biological mother gave you up it's not because you're not good enough. Frank and this woman if anything aren't good enough for you. You are an amazing strong woman Caroline Benson and I'm proud to call you my best friend."
"You're pretty amazing too" Carly grins at him before hugging him again
Hugging her back he states "So you'll forget about this vengeance idea and come back to Florida with me"
"You know me better than that Brody" She tells him as he pulls away from him.
"Stubborn as always; yes I know you and I also know that means you have a plan. And I just want to point out to you again that your last plan almost got you killed tonight"
"Bobbie Spencer is a nurse at a hospital so you don't have to worry about her pulling a gun out on me"
"Maybe not but Sonny Corinthos is still out there and very mad I imagine about losing his jewels"
"He's a rich man so what we stole tonight was pennies to him"
"That may be true but men like Sonny Corinthos don't like it when other people have sticky fingers"
"I'll be fine. Now if you don't mind Brody after getting shot tonight in the arm I do need some rest and so do you since you're leaving early tomorrow alone"
"I'll let you get some rest but this conversation isn't over." Brody tells her before heading towards the door that adjoined the two rooms together.
"Goodnight Brody"
"Goodnight Caroline" Brody smiles at her before turning the handle of the door and opening the door that lead to his hotel room.
"You're really not a morning person are you?" Brody questions as Carly laid her head on the table fighting her eyes from drifting off to sleep.
"It's seven in the morning no normal person can possibly function before ten" Carly mumbles out
"Well I thank you for being somewhat awake to accompany me before my bus arrives. I just wish you would change your mind and come back home with me"
"Only for you Brody would I get out of bed this early" Carly mumbles out as she hears the small bell above the dinner's door ring as someone walks into the small dinner called Kelly's.
"Oh dear god" Brody mumbles out
"What?"
"Don't look now but Sonny Corinthos just entered the building"
Lifting her head up from off the table Carly watches as Sonny walks past their table and heads towards the front counter.
"Wonder what a guy like him would be doing in a small joint like this" Carly comments to Brody who had a worried expression across his face.
"I don't know but maybe this is a sign" He tells her as he tries his best not to look at the duffle bag that was by his feet where the stolen jewels were hidden inside
"Maybe" Carly grins before standing up from her chair
"Caro-line where are you going?" Letting out a groan he watches in horror as she approaches Sonny Corinthos. He silently prays he doesn't have to use the gun he had hostler underneath his jacket like he did last night to save her ass from the likes of Sonny Corinthos.
Reaching the front counter as Sonny handed money to the waitress who had given him a cup of coffee she grins at him "Hey"
Glancing up and down at the young woman before him he had to admit that despite the fact he was into brunettes he liked what he saw. She was wearing a long sleeved tight fitting dress that showed off her cleavage nicely. Figuring he had nothing planned for tonight and a distraction would be good after last night's mishap he flashes her his famous dimple smile "Hey"
"Your fly is down" Carly laughs out before grabbing a napkin and heading back towards her table.
"Wha-" Sonny asks before looking down at his zipper and notices that his fly was indeed undone. After zipping his zipper up Sonny glances towards the blonde who went back to her table and was now whispering with the guy that was sitting at her table
"I must admit he's way better looking in person than in his mugshots" Carly whispers out to Brody
"Don't even think about it" Brody warns her since "playing" with Sonny Corinthos especially after last night was extremely dangerous.
"Relax I was just stating a fact" Carly grins at him; although she had to admit she wouldn't kick Sonny Corinthos out of her bed if the opportunity came up
"Come on we should get going " Brody states since he wanted to get her away from Sonny Corinthos before she did something stupid
"Already?" Carly questions
"Yeah I rather be early than late" Brody nods his head as he tries his best to ignore the fact Sonny Corinthos had been starring at them ever since Carly walked away from him.
Watching as the guy the blonde was with grabs a duffle bag before walking out of Kelly's, Sonny wonders why he suddenly felt jealous that this guy was leaving with this woman he never laid eyes on before. As Kelly's door shuts closed behind them Sonny also notes that the man the blonde was with seemed all wrong for her.
"Is something wrong with your coffee Mr. Corinthos?"
Glancing towards Penny, Sonny utters out "No, its fine Penny." Before walking away from the counter and going about his day.
Standing in front of Carly as she sat on a bench he tells her "I'm going to pay off our debts with Big Sal but I will be coming back for you."
"You don't have to do that Brody. I'm a big girl I can handle myself."
"I can see it in your face Carly, your running after trouble. You have been ever since your mom died. It's one crazy plan after the other since her death and you're taking more risks than you ever taken before."
"I've been attacking trouble ever since I could crawl" Carly comments since her mama's death had nothing to do with trouble following her. She often wondered if her father had left them because she was just too much trouble for him to handle.
"But more so now which worries me"
"I know you care about me which is why you're such a worry wart but I'm perfectly fine. You don't need to worry yourself so damn much over me." As they both hear his bus number to Florida was being paged over the intercom Carly stands up from the bench she was sitting on and tells him "Have a safe trip"
Pulling her into a hug he promises "I will be coming back for you, but until then try and stay away from Port Charles public enemy number one"
"I doubt we'll cross paths again. This morning had to be some sort of fluke." Carly tells him as he picks up the duffle bag he had placed by Carly's side from off the bench
"Port Charles is a small town"
"I know" Carly simply states before telling him "Now go before you miss your ride back home"
"I'll call you as soon as I get to Florida" He calls out to her before heading towards the bus that was ready to leave.
Watching Brody as he got onto the bus without her Carly lets out a heavy sigh since this was the first time in a long time Brody wasn't going to be close enough to save her from whatever trouble she may find herself in. Yes she was perfectly capable of fighting her own battles but it was nice to be able to rely on Brody to come to her rescue whenever she needed it.
Carly waits for the bus to drive off and to be out of eyesight before making her way towards the payphone to call herself a cab. As she walks towards the payphone Carly stops in her tracks as she suddenly spots Jason Morgan along with a few bodyguards by his side looking around the joint. As Jason Morgan glances towards her she removes her gaze off him before walking the rest of the way towards the payphone to call for a cab.
The second he walks into Luke's office for the business meeting they had Luke questions him "Are
rumors on the street true?
"What rumors are you talking about?"
"That some gal stole your trinkets and her buddy in crime shot up your best soldier"
"People in this town talk way too much" Sonny grumbles out as he tosses his empty coffee cup into the trashcan by Luke's desk
"So it is true?" Luke asks stunned that someone had bested Jason Morgan and got away with Sonny's goods.
"Jason was shot yes and the bastards got away yes but Jason and my men will find them and once they do they will pay dearly for what they did" Sonny tells him
"You know it's bad enough to get bested by a dude but a chick man that's rough. Borg's ego has to be banged up more than a hooker working at the Elm Street Pier"
"I don't want to talk about this anymore Luke. I'm here to talk about Luke's not what went down last night at my warehouse. So how bad are the numbers this month?"
"Actually Luke's did not half bad this month"
"Not half bad isn't good enough Luke!" Sonny hisses out annoyed before going on to order out[/i] "And get out of the chair so I can sit down in front of your filthy desk"
Standing up from his desk's chair Luke tells him "One man's filth is another man treasure my man"
Tossing an old sock that was draped over his desk Sonny mumbles out "You're the most disgusting person I know" before glancing down at the paperwork that was on Luke's desk; wanting to get this over with.
Standing outside of General Hospital Carly watches as people walk in and out of the hospital as she silently wonders if the woman who had betrayed her was working in that building at this very moment. And if she looked into her eyes would she see the daughter she left behind or see a stranger. Sighting out heavily Carly walks into the building in hopes to put the first stage of her plan into motion; getting a job as a nurse.
"These numbers need to improve Luke. I know we're friends but business is business and if you can't get these numbers higher I'm going to have to wash my hands of this place"
"I'll come up with something. No need to worry my friend before you know it Luke's will be the place to be"
"I've heard that before"
"And it's going to happen my friend" Luke utters out
"Better be soon" Sonny utters out before walking out of Luke's office.
A little while later Carly walks into the park after getting herself a job at General Hospital starting Monday morning. She hadn't seen her birth mother while she was at GH but she was sure sooner or later she would cross paths with her. Sitting down on a bench beside a red headed woman who was watching the kids play Carly silently wonders how long it would take before she would cross paths with Bobbie Spencer.
"So which one is yours?"
"Oh I don't have any kids I just wanted to get some fresh air" Carly remarks
"Oh. My son is the boy playing on the monkey bars"
"He's a cute kid..." Carly smiles at her.
"His name is Lucas Jones. He's already ten years old. I can hardly believe my little boy is already heading towards the teen faze. They grow up way too fast." She notes as Sonny Corinthos walks up towards them…
"Hey, Bobbie. Who's your friend?" He smiles as he approaches the bench she and the mystery blonde lady he met earlier at Kelly's sat. He normally didn't walk in the park but for some reason he felt like stopping his car today to take a walk in the park; and now he wondered if this was some kind of faith that lead him to the woman he saw this morning.
"Good morning Sonny. Actually I don't know we just met"
Sitting on the bench stunned when she hears Sonny call this woman Bobbie she silently wonders if this woman could be her birth mother. Silently she tells herself it can't be her. She knew Port Charles was a small town but she was pretty sure it wasn't that small to happen to sit on a bench where her birth mother was sitting on without realizing it. Besides her birth mother gave her up so why would she have another child and keep that one and not her?
Frowning a little when the woman just sits there and says nothing Sonny silently wonders what was wrong with her since she didn't seem afraid or shy of him this morning when she opening laughed at him for having his fly down.
"Are you alright?" Bobbie asks the young woman who hadn't spoken a word since Sonny's arrival.
"I'm fine. I'm sorry I just have a lot on my mind. I'm new in town and I just got a job as a nurse so I have a lot to figure out like where I'm going to live." Carly says with a fake smile across her face
"You're a nurse?" Bobbie questions
"Yeah. I just graduated this summer actually. Top of my class."
"I'm a nurse too" Bobbie smiles as Sonny silently stands in front of them; watching them, well more the blonde than her
"No kidding" Carly remarks as anger starts to boil insider of her as the possibility of this woman being her biological mother becomes greater.
"I work at General Hospital. My name is Bobbie Spencer"
Blinking her eyes shut as the woman just confirmed her suspicions she fights back her anger and tears that wanted to fall at discovering that not only had her birth mother given her up but had another child and kept him. Blinking her eyes open again Carly tells her "I guess we will be working together then."
"Really? That's amazing. You will love GH we have an amazing staff." Bobbie states as she notices Sonny checking out her new co-worker.
"So I heard"
Clearing his throat to get her attention since she hadn't made eye contact with him since this morning at Kelly's Sonny utters out "Congratulations on the job uh… I'm sorry but what's your name?"
Glancing towards Sonny Corinthos Carly knew she had to give him her real name since Bobbie was sitting right by her and she would know right away if she lied come Monday morning if she didn't tell Sonny the truth. "Caroline Benson but I go by Carly"
"Nice meeting you again" Sonny smiles at her; flashing his dimples her way
"Again?" Bobbie questions
"We met this morning at Kelly's" Sonny remarks
"You did?"
"Yeah, we met briefly"
"Carly was with her boyfriend, right?" Sonny questions wondering if she was taken or not; not that it really matter since he always got what he wanted and right now he wanted her
"Something like that"
"He was either your boyfriend or not" Sonny notes since the man she was with couldn't be both
Standing up Carly says "It was nice meeting you both but I should get going. I have to hunt for an apartment"
"Actually if you're interested Carly I rent rooms above Kelly's. It's not much but it's cheaper than a hotel room and the rooms are nice for a single person… or couple"
"You own the dinner?" Carly questions shocked
"Yes. It's a family restaurant. If you want we can go to Kelly's and I can show you the room" Bobbie nods
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to check it out"
"Bobbie isn't today your day off?" Sonny questions
"Yeah"
"And Lucas doesn't start school until next week right?"
"That's right" Bobbie nods; wondering where this was going
"Well I'm sure you want to spend as much time as you possible can before Lucas starts school so why don't I show Carly the room instead"
"That's a very nice offer Sonny but don't you have to work?" Bobbie questions
"Work can wait besides I want to get another cup of coffee"
"Well if Carly doesn't mind going with you I guess that will be fine"
"You don't mind going with me right?" Sonny asks
"No, not at all"
"You don't have a jealous boyfriend, do you?" Sonny questions
"I might" Carly smiles which causes Sonny to let out a frustrated sigh. "So I'll call a cab and meet you at Kelly's" Carly goes on to say
"Or you can you know save some money and take a ride inside of my limo" [i]Sonny offers as Bobbie watches them with a smile across her face.
"Alright"
"It was nice meeting you Carly" Bobbie states
"Nice meeting you too" Carly nods her head.
"Bye Bobbie" Sonny smiles at her before taking Carly's hand into his so he could lead her towards his limo. As their hands touch they both felt a spark; their eyes momentarily lock on each other before much to his dismay Carly removes her hands from his grasp…
"Lead the way" Carly tells him as she tries her best to ignore the spark she felt by his simple touch.
With a nod of his head Sonny walks towards his awaiting limo as he silently wonders if she felt the spark between them.
As the limo heads towards Kelly's Sonny questions Carly who was sitting on the opposite side in front of him "So who was your friend this morning?"
"A guy"
"Is there a reason why you're so secretive about him? I saw the way he looked at me this morning. Does he have a problem with me?" Sonny questions
"He thinks your trouble" Carly tells him truthfully
"Yeah? And you don't?"
"No, I think your trouble too" Carly laughs out
"So why take me up on my offer if you think I'm trouble?" Sonny asks as his eyes roam her body
"Trouble doesn't scare me and you offered me a free ride"
"You said you were new in town, so where are you from?"
"Not here"
"Is there a reason why you don't want to tell me?"
"Yeah, you're a stranger and I don't know about you but I don't often pour out my heart and soul to someone I just met"
"Alright I can respect that" Sonny remarks since he didn't really need her to tell him anything once she told him her name since he could just get Benny to figure out everything he needed to know about her.
"Do you often take so much interest in a person you just met?" Carly questions
"No"
"So why with me? Why would you offer to take me instead of going about your business for the day?"
"Bobbie is my friend and I know she loves spending time with her son and like I said earlier I wanted another cup of coffee"
"But don't you own a coffee warehouse? I heard that the coffee warehouse was your front as being a legit business man"
"I am a legit business man and if you heard otherwise you were misinformed"
"Do all legit business men own limos and own expensive clothes?" Carly asks
"Good ones do and if you had coffee at Kelly's this morning you should know that I'm good because that's my coffee and it's the best" Sonny grins
"Why pay for coffee when you can get it free?"
"Don't have the hassle of making it besides I'm doing Bobbie a favor so she can spend time with her son. Nothing wrong with that" Sonny remarks as the limo comes to a stop.
"Thanks for the ride" Carly smiles at him as she goes to open the door.
Placing his hand onto hers; stopping her from opening the door he watches as she chews on her lower lip as he felt that spark again "My driver will open the door for you"
A few seconds later Max opens the door for them causing Carly to break away from his touch yet again.
As Carly gets out of the limo Sonny watches Carly's behind with male appreciation before getting out of the limo behind her.
A little while later Sonny hands Carly the keys to her new room "Welcome to Port Charles Caroline Benson"
"I go by Carly actually, but thanks"
"Why is that? I mean there's nothing wrong with the name Carly but Caroline is a beautiful name so why change it?" Sonny asks curiously as he silently wonders why he was so infatuated by this mysterious blond he never met before. He didn't know what was different about her but he knew for whatever reason this woman wasn't like any other woman he met before.
"I had my reasons. Thanks for the ride over here but I'm good now so you can go about and do whatever mob boss's do with their time, like break some legs perhaps"
"I couldn't tell you what mob bosses do with their time but as a coffee importer I do deal with coffee and you know importing it"
"RighT. so I guess you have coffee beans to count"
"Something like that but I'm guessing you don't have a ride back to your hotel room so I was thinking about giving you another free ride to your hotel room but if you're going to be snarky with me you could always pay for a cab"
"Thanks for the offer but I can handle things from here on out"
"Alright, if you change your mind and you need anything here is my business card it has
my cellphone number written on it as well." Sonny remarks as he hands her the card. As Carly holds the card in her hands Sonny goes on to tell her…"I'll be seeing you" Sonny states before walking out the open door.
Chewing on her lower lip Carly watches Sonny walk away from her and she silently hopes that he would.
Walking into his office he notes as he watches Jason kick the trash can by his desk angrily as he shoves his cellphone into his pocket … "No luck on tracking the bastards that hit us last night"
"It's like they fucking disappeared! No one knew nothing! And when I say nothing not a fucking damn thing! I have no leads on who the hell took the jewels last night. If I didn't know better I would say they weren't connected to Sorel at all because no way are Sorel's men are as good as they were last night." Jason snaps out
"Well if Sorel isn't behind it we need to know who the hell is Jason and find them before they strike at us again! You know last night's events already hit the gossip mill. Luke knew all about it and was laughing it up. The last thing we need is for our organization to look like a fucking joke! I worked too hard to get my reputation the way it is and I don't know about you but I'm not going to let those mother fuckers make a fool out of me!" Sonny spats out as he takes a seat at his desk
"They won't get away with this!" Jason vows since his reputation had taken a huge blow that he intended on mending
Walking into Sonny's office Benny utters out "Boss I got some files for you to sign"
As Benny places the files on his desk in front of him Sonny tells him "I'm glad you're here. I have a job for you Benny"
"What can I do for you boss?"
"I need a background check down on a woman I met this morning. Her name is Caroline Benson she's new in town"
"Sure thing boss" Benny nods before heading out of the office.
Frowning Jason asks "What's with the background check"
Shrugging his shoulders Sonny utters out "Just a little curious that's all. Shouldn'tyou get going and find the sons of bitches who took what's mine?"
Nodding his head Jason utters out "I'm going" As Jason shuts the office door behind him Sonny grabs a pen to sign the paperwork Benny had left behind for him.
Opening her hotel room door Carly spots a man on her bed with a gun in his hands. As she tries to turn and make a run for it another goon slams the door closed.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Carly grins at them
"You think you can just leave town and stiff our boss?! You and your friend owe Big Sal money and we're here to collect." The man spats out as he stands up from his sitting position on her bed.
"I would never stiff anyone. My friend is actually on his way back to Florida to pay your boss up in full"
Both men glance at each other and laugh before one of them points their pistol at her "Do you think we were born yesterday lady? Now you either cough up the money now or you will pay like you were any other dude who stiffed our boss."
"You lay a finger on me and you'll be begging for death"
"Is that so?"
"That's right you touch me and you'll deal with the likes of Sonny Corinthos" Carly threatens them.
"Sonny Corinthos? This chick is friends with Sonny Corinthos?" The goon with the gun pointed at Carly asks his partner
"She's bluffing. No way is that chick friends with Sonny Corinthos if she was the man would have given her the money to pay the boss off."
"Sonny is my friend and any enemy of mine is an enemy of his" [i]Carly remarks as she hopes the threat of Sonny will scared theses bastards off and give Brody enough time to pay off their boss.
"This bitch is lying. Just shoot her!"
"IF you shoot me you better shoot yourself next because if Sonny finds you alive you're going to wish you had killed yourself before he gets his hands on you" Carly threatens.
"Alright, alright lady. Prove it. Call your friend Sonny and tell him to get his butt here with the cash or whatever happens to you is on him" The goon with the gun tells her.
"Fine"
Carly sighs out heavily as the goon behind her hands her, his cellphone. Opening her purse Carly pulls out the business card Sonny had given her earlier and hopes his offer to help her out was still good.
After a few rings she hears Sonny voice as he answered his phone… "Hey, it's me Carly. I hope your offer to help me is still good because I kind of need it right now"
Well that's all for now. I hope you like the first chapter of this fic. All feedback is welcomed and very much appreciated, take care
