Thanks so much for the comments- they'll keep me writing for sure!
Jason hit the gas as the rain fell heavily around the car. A million things were running through his mind, as he struggled to remain in control. He was known for his amazing control, and power to remain calm even in the worst of situations. It was an invaluable trait for someone to have in this business. But things had gotten out of control, out of the realm of what he had ever anticipated. He looked in the rear mirror at the body in the backseat of his car.
Was she dead? Did Johnny's men shoot her? Did he shoot her? Did he just incriminate himself by removing a dead body from the scene of a crime? Should he call a doctor? Should he call the morgue? Should he call Diane, his whip smart lawyer? Should he call Sonny? If she's not dead, is she hurt? If she's alive is she then a witness?
He turned towards Max, almost positive that he would see the same questions flitting across the man's face. Instead he was looking down at Jason's leg in nervous horror.
"Uh, boss you're shot"
Jason looked down and silently cursed. A few more questions to answer, a few more problems that would need solving. Suddenly the adrenaline rush that had kept him going since the docks and kept him from feeling pain wore off, and the shock of the gun wound struck his nervous system like a ton of bricks.
"Crap!" Jason shouted wincing in pain.
"You want me to drive boss?" Max asked, extremely nervous. For him things had gone from bad to worse, first they were ambushed, second there was that issue with the girl in the back of their car, and now Jason had been shot. Plus he knew Diane would be fuming if he blew her off again because of a work related issue.
"No, it's a little late for that! And you should be on the phone with Doctor Harris already!" Max whipped out his cell phone and began to dial a number.
"And Sonny!" Jason added. Max paused for a second, wondering if Jason wanted him to call Sonny or the Doc first.
"Now would be good Max!" Jason winced, clenching his jaw and gripping the wheel tighter.
"Call Milo too, tell them be at Sonny's. And call Diane also" She'll probably be needed; he thought to himself as he dodged thoughts of yet another long and tedious trial.
He glanced down at his leg which was now soaking in blood. It wasn't the first time he'd been shot, he could handle pain, heck he could pretty much handle anything thrown at him. He drew in deep breaths as he prepared himself for the onslaught. Pulling into the lower garage level at Harborview Towers, he quickly gave out orders to dispose of the car and to have the girl brought upstairs to his penthouse immediately. He could hear Max on the phone reasoning with Diane.
He winced as he limped to the elevator.
"Jason!" someone called from behind him.
He so was not prepared to handle this.
So I was wondering, if Jason should already know Liz and I should run with their general history minus the kids, OR they could be strangers a story with which I have sorta already planned but would be (hopefully) pretty cool? Lemme know!
