Vengeance
Chapter 7
"I can't believe you let someone steal your car! Do you realize how much that car costs?!" Edward huffs out to AJ as he saton the couch in the living room.
"It wasn't my fault someone stole it" AJdefends himself
"That's right father it could have happened to anyone." Alan comes to AJ defense since his father was always ragging on AJ.
"Forget the car! You were drinking AJ! How the hell can you go to a bar after what
happened to Jason?!" Monica chimes insince she could care less about the car it was his drinking that worried hersince because of his drinking Jason was now Jason Morgan killing people insteadof saving people by becoming a doctor.
Walking into theliving room Jason gazes at AJ as he simply questions after he heard Monica
bring up his drinking "You were drinking last night?"
"Jason! What bring you by honey?" Monica smilesbrightly up at him
"Hey son!" Alan grins; please to see his sonsince Jason didn't normally come over to the mansion to visit with them.
"Of course he was drinking! The boy is weak and stupid! I can't believe you let someone steal that car!" Edward huffs outannoyed since AJ was a screw up from the day he was born.
"My son isn't stupid or weak Edward!" Monicascreams out
"Father he's dealing with an addiction which isn't easy to deal with." Alan explains since he knew that AJ alwaysfelt pressure by Edward which didn't help with his addiction problem.
"AJ's car was stolen?" Jason asks as he walksinto the living from the porch doors.
"Yes! It was stolen!" Edwards repeats beforegoing on to tell Monica and Alan "And if you would stop babying AJ maybe he would man up instead of being the town drunk!"
"We do NOT baby him!" Monica and Alan shoutout in union at Edward
"I found AJ's car" Jason announces with aheavy sigh; wishing they would all shut up since their bickering was annoyingto him.
"You did! That a boy! I hope you taught whoever took that car a lesson" Edward smiles at Jason as AJ rolls his eyesat his grandfather since to Edward like the rest of the family saw Jason as thegolden boy while he was the "loser".
"No one was around the car when I found it. But I'm pretty sure whoever was driving
the car last night was the person who hit the other car that fell off the cliff; killing two people last night. " Jasonremarks as his eyes gazes intensely at AJ.
"Oh dear god! I heard about that young man and woman and how their car fell off the
cliff. How sad. They were so young." Monicaremarks
"I'm just happy AJ was nowhere near his car when that thief took his car." Alan remarks
"Yes it's sad about that young woman and man. May god bless their young souls….so
how bad was the damage to the car?" Edwardasks
"The front bumper was pretty banged up from hitting the other car but I doubt the
PCPD will be handing the car over to you anytime soon since its apart of a murder investigation" Jason states withhis eyes still glued on AJ who was oddly not saying too much.
"Well perhaps it's for the best. Maybe if AJ had to walk around for a while he will
learn not to get his car stolen" Edwardremarks as he leaves the living room
"Jason it was nice seeing you son but Monica and I need to get to GH" Alan comments as he grabs his medical bagthat was on the coffee.
"It was nice seeing you honey" Monica smilesas she pulls Jason into a quick hug before leaving the living room with Alan.
"You can go ahead and leave now that your proven yourself to be the golden boy yet
again for finding my stolen car" AJstates as he stands up from the couch and heads towards the mini bar.
Before AJ could pourhimself a drink Jason takes him off guard as he grabs him by the shoulders andslams his body against the wall by the doorway "IF I find out you were behind the wheel of your car when it crashed into the other car causing two deaths you're going to wish your car had fallen off the cliff as well because once Sonny gets his hand on the person who killed that woman who was in that car he's going to make them suffer."
"I didn't do it" AJ spats out as he tried topush Jason off him to no success
"For your sake you better be telling me the truth"Jason remarks as he lets his hold on AJ go
"Why does Sonny care so much about the accident anyways?" AJ questions curiously since he knew that Sonny preferred brunettes
"Because that woman mattered to him and Sonny is very protective of the people he cares
about" Jason honestly states. He may not understandhow Sonny could still care about a woman who betrayed him especially since hehardly knew her but he somehow had fallen for Caroline Benson AKA CarolineSpencer much to his dismay.
"Well you can tell that goon of a boss of yours that I had nothing to do with the
accident because my car was stolen"
"Sonny is not a goon. He's a man of honor and he got what he has from hard work,
unlike you who still lives with his mommy and daddy; jobless." Jasonstates before walking about from AJ and heading towards the porch doors.

"Is something wrong with the wig?" Stanley questions as he
notices the displease look across Carly's face.
"No, its fine it's just uh…my biological mother has red hair and to say I hate her
is an understatement. But it's going to be fine it's not like I have to wear it for the rest of my life." Carly explains
"I'm sorry I didn't know your mother was a redhead"
"Like I said its fine. I really shouldn't complain anyways after everything you've done for me because I really am grateful for everything you've done. I was just taken off guard by the red wig."
"I didn't do much"
"Are you kidding me? You not only saved my life but you risked your own by lying to Sonny's men and by helping me leave town"
"Mr. Corinthos men have no reason to suspect me of lying so my life is not in danger but I am worried about you"
"Don't be, like you said I survived for a reason and I'm going to fulfill that reason" Carly declares as she silently vows tomake Big Sal pay for telling Sonny the truth which lead to Brody's death.
"I'm going to make you some sandwiches. You have a long bus ride home and you need all the nutrition you can get to recover from your injuries"Stanley comments before making his way towards the kitchen.

As Jason walks intothe penthouse Sonny spats out "MAX I told you NO visitors!"
"It's okay Max" Jason comments as he shuts thepenthouse door while Sonny drinks down his drink.
"I don't need a babysitter so get the fuck out!" Sonny growls out
"I'm not here to babysit you. There's been a development that you should be made aware of" Jason comments back
"On Carly?" Sonny questions back since that'sthe only thing he really cared about right now. He despised her for stabbinghim in the back and yet all he could think about was how much his heart wasbreaking over the thought of losing her.
"Sort of. I found the car who hit her. It was reported stolen but I found the car oddly by the scene of the accident."
"Most people don't ditch their car at the scene of the crime. I want Stan on this! I need to know who that car belonged to so I can find the mother fucker who drove Carly's car off the cliff"
"It's already done. It was AJ's car Sonny but he claims he wasn't in it at the time. He says someone stole it from him."
"And you believe that drunken bastard brother of yours?! The guy is known to drink
and drive! Look at what he did to you Jason!" Sonny questions as he stands up from off the couch and heads towardshis desk to grab his gun
"You're right AJ is a drunken loser but he might be innocent in this" Jason remarks as he watches Sonny pull out his gun from his deskdrawer
"AJ isn't innocent of anything!" Sonnyremarks as he loads his gun in front of Jason.
"Look I could care less about AJ but my family does so I'm asking you as a favor to
just back off AJ until I look into his story. I promise you if he's responsible for driving Carly and her friend off that cliff he's all yours and I won't do anything to stop you from making AJ pay for what he did if he did it"
Placing his gun ontop of his desk Sonny yells out "FINE! But only as a favor to you
Jason but you better look into this quick because I'm telling you right now if AJ is responsible for this he will fucking wish for death once I get through with him!"

Walking into TheOasis a bar AJ sometimes went to since too many people knew him at Jakes and hedidn't want word to spread even more then it was about his drinking ways hespots Coleman cleaning up the bar
"Hey man if you're looking for a hookup you should have come last night. All the
pretty girls already hooked up with the best strippers last night" Coleman greets him; not at all stunned tosee Jason Morgan stop by since he just got paid a visit by AJ Quartermaine who
gave him a nice payoff to destroy the surveillance camera he had of AJ drivingoff with his car last night clearly drunk out of his mind.
"I'm here about AJ Quartermaine. Did he stop by here last night?" Jason questions
"Yeah he was here alright. He drank the night away and felt up one of my girls which
got him a nice smack in the face. He was so drunk out of his mind he laughed it off and stumbled out of here"
"So you saw he was drunk out of his mind and let him drive off?" Jason asks
"Hey man it was a busy night I had other things to do then babysit that loser, but he actually didn't drive away he came back inside and told me someone took his ride. I offer to call the cops but he decline he said the PCPD were dumber then dirt which is why you and Sonny were roaming free. After which he stumbled his way back out of here and I'm guessing he went home" Coleman explains
"You have cameras outside in the parking lot. I want to see them" Jason remarks since he wanted proof of AJ's innocents and IF someonestole his car he wanted to see who did.
"No can do man. I'm sorry to tell you but my cameras were out of order last night.
You just missed my repair man who fixed the cameras so I don't have any footage of what may have happened last night" Colemanlies since he destroyed the tape as AJ watched him doing after AJ coughed upthe green
Letting out afrustrated sigh Jason utters out "I hope you're telling me the truth because if I find out otherwise I will deal with you like I deal with anyone who crosses the Corinthos organization"
"Hey man I have no beef with you or your boss. In fact I have nothing but respect
for Mr. Corinthos so if I could help you out I would. I have no reason to lie for that drunken bastard"
"Fine" Jason nods as he silently plans to pay avisit to The Oasis later tonight so he can speak with Coleman'sstrippers and see if they had anything to add since he never trusted Coleman.
Coleman had areputation after all to be shady as hell but so far he never dared to cause
trouble by allowing drugs being pushed at his club from Sorel's men and healways paid on time for protection to the Corinthos organization.

Later that nightwearing the red wig that Stanley bought for her along with a black skirt with adark purple blouse Carly clutches a large black tote bag in her hands and letsout a sigh of relief since it didn't appear Sonny's men had spotted her.Thankfully for her Sonny's men stood out like a sore thumb since they were alldressed in suites and ties which wasn't the norm for a bus stop so she did herbest to avoid them.
Sitting down at aseat in the middle of the bus on the edge of the row since she didn't want to
risk Sonny's men seeing her through the window Carly fights back her tearsknowing that her life will never be the same now that Brody wasn't in it. Shehad no one now to count on but herself. She knew she was a strong person but itwas always comforting to know that Brody had her back no matter what. Nowwhatever trouble comes her way she had to fight it off on her own. She had toalso live without Sonny; a man she hardly knew but her heart longed for.
As the bus drivesaway from the bus stop Carly exhales sharply as she leaves Port Charles behindher…for now.
