Vengeance
Chapter 10
Walkingtoward the mansion where AJ Quartermaine lived Carly hated the place despiteits beauty. Most people she was sure would have been in awe over the place butto her it was a prison; the same kind of hellish prison her best friendCaroline and Brody had to grow up in. She was sure they were the same kind ofsnotty rich people that frowned upon her and her mama in those country clubswhere the help was treated like shit as they patted themselves over the backfor the charity work they did which was just another way of trying to upsomeone else in the club by showing off all the money they raised for the poorthey spent their time treating like shit….
"Reginald why aren't you answering the door! I swear one of these days I'm going to fire your lazy ass!" Alan huffs outbefore opening the door
"I'm looking for AJ Quartermaine" Carly sayswith a fake smile across her face
"AJ? You're looking for AJ? Are you and my son dating perhaps?" Alan questions as Edward walks up behind Alan
"HA! HER dating that lousy drunk I highly doubt it. I mean look at her she is obviously way out of AJ's league. So what did my no good great-grandson do now?!" Edward questions since he knew this younglady was WAY too good for the likes of AJ.
Turningaround Alan spats out "Father I really wish you would stop putting my son down at every chance you get! Maybe if you stopped belittling AJ at every chance he wouldn't drink as much as he
does!"
"Don't you blame me for AJ's drinking! It's not my fault the boy is weak! Maybe if you
stopped coddling him he would man up and do something with his life!" Edwardhuffs out
"AJ isn't weak father!" As Edward snots at hisresponse Alan goes on to say "He's an addict and it would help him a lot if his family would support him as he goes through this difficult time!"
"Maybe if you would stop making excuses for AJ and give him the kick in the pants he needs he wouldn't be a total failure" PushingAlan aside Edward grins at the pretty blonde lady as he asks yet again "So tell me why do you want to see that drunken loser?"
"Well-" Carly tries to explain only to getinterrupted by Alan
"Father I swear if you don't stop belittling my son I will toss you out of my house!"
"It's not your house it's Monica's house since you gave it to her son and IF you toss me out it would break your mother's heart! Is that what you want to do? Do you want to break your dear old mother's heart because you can't face facts about your loser son?"
"Oh don't bring mother into this father!" Alansnaps out as he pushes past his father and heads towards the den
"Don't you walk away from me son we're not done talking!" Edward huffs out as he follows Alan inside the den leaving Carlystanding alone in front of the doorway.
"Wow" Carly remarks stunned by the experience asshe walks inside the mansion. As she shuts the door behind her she shakes herhead as she hears the Alan and Edward yelling at each other from the den.
"Can I help you with something dear?" Lila asksas she moves her wheelchair towards her
"I'm looking for AJ. Have you seen him?" Carlyquestions as they hear Edward and Alan yelling at each other in the background
"I'm sorry he isn't home. You look familiar have we met before?"
"No I don't think we have. My name is Carly Benson"
"You're the young woman who died after her car drove off the cliff…well almost died obviously" Lila comments; nowremembering where she seen her face before on the news.
"Yeah, my friend he wasn't so lucky he died that night. I was told earlier today at the PCPD that the car I was in was driven off the road by a car that was stolen that belonged to AJ. I was just hoping maybe he could give me more information on his car since from my experience people aren't always honest with cops for one reason or another"
TakingCarly's hand into hers Lila utters out "I'm so sorry for your lost dear. I know you came here for answers but sadly I don't think you will find them here. My grandson was drunk when his car was stolen so he doesn't have information to give to you other then what the PCPD already told you"
"I see. Thanks anyways. I'm sorry for troubling you"Carly sighs out heavily before walking away from Lila, and heading out thefront door since it was obvious to her that there were no answers to find atthe Q mansion.
~**~**~**~
"I want to know how the hell anyone didn't see her escape!? You would think a woman climbing down the fucking fire escape would get noticed!" Sonny snaps out annoyed that Carly had disappeared under hismen noses! She was a fucking woman with no resources and yet she kept bestinghis men!
"I was guarding the door" Johnny points outsince he wanted to remind the boss that this mishap was not his fault since his view was of the hallway and not theoutdoors of the building.
"Well it wasn't my fault!" Max hisses out
"I just got here" Milo states
"I was in the parking garage" Rolando utters out
"I don't care whose fault it is! Just get the fuck out of here and go find her with the others! The woman is carrying my child and if anything happens to her I will fucking make all your lives a living hell!"Sonny snaps out aggravated causing his men to rush out the penthouse door
Ashis men rush out the door Sonny walks over towards his desk. Opening the topdrawer to grab his car keys Sonny frowns as he notices that his wallet has gonemessing. Knowing it could only be ONE person who would dare to go inside of hisdesk and steal from him he shakes his head as he utters out annoyed "You've got to be fucking kidding me!"
~**~**~**~
The second he opens his front doorDoctor Stanley Anderson yanks Carly inside his house and locks the door shutbehind her "Are you alright child?" he questions concerned since he happened to catch the newsearlier and saw Carly's face on his TV screen by Sonny's side.
"I'm pregnant" Carly simply states
"That's why you're back in town?"
"One of the reasons, yeah" Carly nods her head.
"He knows he's the father I take it?" Stanley notes since Carly looked unharmed afterencountering Sonny Corinthos.
"I told Sonny before I went to the PCPD and explained to them how I survived the crash. Don't worry no one knows you saved me and how you helped me leave town that's still our little secret"
"Why did you come back here?"
Pulling out Sonny's wallet from out ofher purse Carly declares "I came to pay back my debt and to ask for your help yet again"
~**~**~**~
Walkinginside of Kelly's Sonny scans the room hoping that Carly would be here since
this was the place he first laid eyes on her. That moment was when his life hadchange for the better, because that moment brought Carly into his life whichresulted into fulfilling a dream he never truly believed was in the cards forhim. Carly was making him a father for the first time which made his lifecomplete. He now had power, money and a family to take care of which was all heever wanted. Not seeing Carly anywhere in sight Sonny lets out a heavy sigh andturns around. As he yanks Kelly's door open he comes face to face with Taggert.
"Good I take it you just dropped Carly back at her place" Taggert comments since he had more questions to ask her about theaccident
"What do you want with Carly?"
"For once this doesn't concern you" Taggertutters out as he walks past him
"The hell it doesn't! Carly is my business so whatever you want with Carly concerns me" Sonny growls out since he wasn'tabout to let Taggert bully Carly.
"Watch it Sonny your true colors are showing but thanks for reminding me to warn her of your past. I would hate to see history repeat itself. The poor woman has already been through so much"
"You stay the hell away from her! IF you have any questions about the accident you contact our lawyer or I will slap a lawsuit on the PCPD for harassment!" Sonny growls out as he balls his hands into fistsas that bastard dared to bring up his mother to him, and blame him for whatDeke did.
"You speak for Carly now? Because like I told you before this case has nothing to do with you"
"As her fiancé I sure as hell do have a right to speak for her and protect her from your harassment! So you stay the fuck away from her or the PCPD will be slapped with the biggest lawsuit they ever seen!" Sonnywarns in a deadly tone of voice before storming out of Kelly's
~**~**~**~
"That looks like a man's wallet" Stanley notes;assuming that it belong to Sonny Corinthos which meant trouble
"Are you asking if it's Sonny?" Carly smirks
"I don't have to but if you had a change of heart and want to skip town again I can assure you that will nearly be impossible now that Sonny Corinthos knows you're alive despite whatever money he put inside that wallet before you stole it" Stanley states as he walks towards hiscouch
"I didn't steal his wallet I just borrowed it and I didn't have a change of heart. In
fact Port Charles is exactly where I want to be." Carly tells him as shewatches Stanley plop himself down on his couch.
"You said you needed my help again so if you don't want to skip town what kind of help do you need from me?"
"You're a doctor" Carly simply states as she sits down on top of the coffee table thatwas facing his couch
"I'm retired and OB/GYN wasn't my field." Stanley points out as Carly places Sonny'swallet back inside of her purse.
"Yes I know but I'm guessing since this is a small town that you must know the other local
doctors around here right?"
"I suggest Doctor Meadows. She's the best OB/GYN doctor at GH you can't go wrong with her"
Stanley states figuring if she was asking about doctors she wanted to knowwho the best doctor to watch over her pregnancy was
"That's nice to know but I wanted to know if you knew the Quartermaine family"
"They are a unique family and I have nothing but love for Lila Quartermaine who I've met
before at the Quartermaine mansion during my visits there over the years"
"AJ Quartermaine's car was the car who drove the car I was in off the cliff. AJ
claims his car was stolen" Carly declares
"You think he's lying?"
"Lila told me AJ was drunk that night. The driver who drove AJ's car was drunk that night
as well. Jason isn't a fan of mine and he's Jason's brother so yeah I have my doubts about his story"
"If AJ drove your car off the road I know for a fact it wasn't because of Jason's dislike over you. In fact friction between the two of you would bring AJ joy since AJ has always been envious of
Jason. Jason was the golden boy of that family and in many ways he still is. Jason was supposed to become a doctor like his parents until AJ drove drunk and smashed his car into a tree with Jason in the passenger seat. After the accident Jason Quartermaine turned into Jason Morgan. He hasn't been closed to his family since, well other than Lila. Even as Jason Morgan, AJ still holds
resentment towards his brother so there is no way he would do his brother any favors by trying to get rid of you on his behalf" Stanley explains beforegoing on to say "Besides from what I heard over the years Jason Morgan takes care of his own enemies himself. He doesn't let other people do his dirty
work for him."
"I guess Sonny was being truthful when he told me Jason had nothing to do with the crash
but it still doesn't take AJ off the hook. He drove drunk once before so I wouldn't put it past him to do it again"
"Sadly I wouldn't either. From what I heard over the years AJ never learns from his mistakes.
It doesn't help that his parents seem to enable him every chance they get and his grandfather belittles him all the time." Stanley comments since he hadwitness how the family treated AJ over the years.
"Trust me if AJ was behind the wheel of his car that night he will learn from his mistake
this time around because I'll make sure of it" Carly remarks; since if AJwas responsible for her best friend's death she would make his life a livinghell. She would make him wish he had died that night instead of her bestfriend.
"I realized that you suffered a lot that night but you have a miracle growing inside of
you. I suggest you focus on that instead of revenge. Trust me vengeance is not the answer. Payback will not bring your friend back and I'm sure based on Mr. Corinthos reputation he will make whoever put his child at risk pay. Stress is your enemy right now so I suggest you avoid it at all costs and focus on your unborn child instead of the car crash that took your friend away from you."
"I wouldn't do anything to put my child at risk." Carly promises; but she also knewthere was no way in hell she was going to let this go. Whoever murdered herbest friend was going to pay by her and her alone.
"Good, I'm glad to hear it because that baby is the most precious thing in the world and
it's your job to keep him or her safe"
"I will"
"And for future reference "borrowing" things from a mob boss isn't the wisest move to make even if he is the father of your unborn child" Stanley advises
"So I take it you don't want the money"
"Not even if my life depended on it" Stanley remarks
"I really want to pay you back for all the help you've given me"
"All the payback I want is for you to make sure that baby you're carrying stays safe"
"Thank you for everything" Carly smiles at him.
"You're welcome" Stanley grins back at her
"You know what I should get going but it was so nice to see you again" Carly utters
out as she stands up from the coffee table she was sitting on
Standing up from off the couch he pullsCarly into a hug as he tells her "It was nice seeing you too, and I'm so happy you don't have to live in hiding anymore. Take care of yourself"
"I will" Carlysmiles at him before walking away from him, heading towards the front door.
~**~**~**~
Alittle while later Sonny shakes his head as one of his men points out Carly to
him who was currently eating at the Port Charles grill. As he makes his waytowards her Carly suddenly glances his way. Noticing a smirk appear across hercauses his blood to boil despite how gorgeous she looked when she smiled. Shehad him worried SICK over her and their baby's welfare and there she wassmiling back at him like she didn't have a care in the world!
"Hey" Carly greets Sonny as he arrives at hertable looking displeased but she didn't care because she knew Sonny wouldn'tdare do anything in a public place.
"Hey? That's all you have to say to me is hey?!"Sonny questions back in a harsh tone of voice; trying his best to keep ittogether since he didn't want to attract attention
"Were you expecting something more?"
Grippingthe chair that was facing Carly at the table Sonny states "You took off without protection Carly. What the hell were you thinking?"
"I would have had all the protection I need if you just told Jason to give me my gun back" Carly points out before taking a sipof her club soda.
"This isn't some game Carly" Sonny spats out ashe angrily pulls out the chair that was in front of him and sits himself downat her table.
"Lucky for you huh or you would be losing" Carlylaughs out which causes Sonny to shoot her a deadly look in response
"I'm not amused"
"Neither am I. I don't appreciate some caveman going all Tarzan on me. Telling me, not asking me where I will be living now that I'm back in Port Charles."
"Yeah well I don't appreciate you going through my desk with your sticky fingers and stealing my wallet. Speaking of which give me back my wallet"
Inbetween bites of her cheese burger Carly offers "I tell you what… you give me my gun back…and I'll give you, your wallet back…with most of you money in it"
"Mr. Corinthos, it's a pleasure seeing you again. Would you like a menu?" a waiter asks with a huge grin across his face sinceMr. Corinthos always tipped big whenever he waited on him
"Just a coffee" Sonny utters out as he watchesCarly eat a few fries that was on her plate.
"I'll be right back" he smiles before walkingaway from the table.
"I hope you're planning on taking that coffee to go because I don't recall inviting you to join me"
"Considering you're using my money to eat that crap that's on your plate I don't need an invitation" leaning into he goes on towhisper out… "Not to mention I'm the father of your unborn child"
"Why are you whispering? I know I'm pregnant and that you're the father. It's not like it's some big secret. "
"Keep your voice down!" Sonny hisses out at hersince he didn't want the world to find out just yet that he had fathered a child "I don't want the world to know about my personal life. The less people know the better for safety reasons"
"Here's your coffee Mr. Corinthos just like you like it"
"Thanks" Sonny grins at the waiter before gazingback at Carly.
"You know people will notice sooner or later unless you plan on keeping your distance" Carly points out as the waiter walks awayfrom her table
"I rather they find out later and as for keeping my distance that's never going to happen. In fact I'm going to be keeping a closer watch on you. What happened earlier won't ever happen again. From here on out you don't leave the penthouse without a guard, are we clear?"
"I don't need guards. I can take care of myself and not that you ever asked me but no I won't be living with you. In fact I got myself a room here at the Port Charles hotel and after my meal I'm planning on going back to GH to get my job back" Carly explains
"You may think you're in charge here but you're not. I'm the one whose calling the shots from here on out" Sonny tells her beforetaking a sip of his coffee; trying his best to keep his cool since they were ina public place and he didn't like airing out his dirty laundry in front of the
public
"We'll see about that" Carly smirks; as a partof her silently wishes things were different between them since Sonny lookeddamn hot when he was angry. She wasn't sure what it was about him, but despitethe fact he wanted her dead after he found out from Big Sal that she stole from
him she wanted him more than ever. Then again she always wanted everything she
couldn't have.
"Oh you'll see" Sonny mumbles out as Carly takesa bite out of her burger.
~**~**~**~
Takingthe bill from off Carly's table Sonny utters out "Alright Carly hand my wallet back over"
"I told you already I'll give you, your wallet back once you get me my gun back" Carly smiles at him.
"You have about ten seconds to give it back or I will get it back myself"
"You try and I'll scream my head off and I'm sure you wouldn't want the attention" Carly warns
"I'm about five seconds away of no longer giving a damn and just tossing you over my shoulder and getting us both the hell out of here"
"Caveman"
"I'm standing up now and if you don't hand my wallet over I'll carrying you out of here with everyone watching us"
WatchingSonny as he stands up Carly states "You're bluffing you wouldn't dare kidnap me in front of all these witnesses"
"Kidnapping? Who said anything about kidnapping? I call it a sign of passion between two passionate souls combusting together" Sonnygrins. Extending his hand out to her he says "Last chance"
Chewingon her lower lip she had to admit to herself it was very tempting to have Sonny
"take her" something about him overpowering her was such a turn on to her. Howeverthat being said she also knew that Sonny already had way too much power overher, so she wasn't about to give him more power then he already had on her.
Pullingout his wallet from her purse she hands it to Sonny while saying "I'm still going to get my gun back from Jason"
"It's long gone, so if I were you I would forget about it. Besides you don't need to pack heat. I'm all the heat you're ever going to need" Sonny tells her as he pulls out some cash from out of hiswallet and tosses it onto the table.
"RrrrrrrrrrrrighT!" Standing up from off herchair Carly goes on to say "I'll see you around. I have a job to get back"
Graspingher arm into his hand as she tries to walk away from him Sonny suppresses a
moan as he feels that all too familiar jolt that was between them… "The only place you're going it back to the penthouse"
Chewingon her lower lip a little as his touch sends chills up and down her body Carly
questions back in a defensive tone of voice "Are you deaf or something?"
"Are you?" Sonny questions back since talking toCarly was like talking to a brick wall.
Besideshe couldn't understand what her big problem was since it's not like he was
forcing her to live in a dump! It was a penthouse for goodness sake and sheobviously liked the finer things in life or she wouldn't be spending her timestealing from him! And IF anyone should be annoyed by this whole situation itshould be HIM since she was the one who ruined things between them. Not tomention he has been WAY nicer towards her then he would have been with anyone
else considering all the trouble she caused!
"How many times do I have to tell you I'm not moving in with you?" Carly questions back as she pulls her arm out ofSonny's grasp.
"You're no longer calling the shots. What I say goes and I'm telling you we're leaving and we're going back home so let's go"
"The hell you are. No one tells me what to do and like I told you before I'll be staying at the Port Charles hotel and I don't care if you like it or not" Carly spats out since if Sonny thought for one
second that he was in control of her life just because she was pregnant withhis child he was in for a rude awaking!
Noticingthat people were starting to look their way Sonny exhales sharply as he tells
her "This isn't the place to have this conversation"
"Then here's a thought you could just walk away and go home and let me live my life the way I want to live it"
"Alright have it your way" Sonny utters outwhich causes Carly to smile back at him in triumph only for him to wipeaway that smile of hers a few seconds later as he bends down and scoops her
into his arms.
"Sonny put me down!" Carly yells out as he walkstowards the entrance of the grill while people watched their every move.
"Stop wiggling woman!" Sonny snaps out at hersince she was pregnant and he didn't want to risk hurting the baby
"Sonny I'm not playing! Put me down!" Carlyyells out to him as one of his stupid guards opens the door for him to make hisexit from the Port Charles Grill
"I'm not either" Sonny grunts out as he makeshis way towards the awaiting limo. As Max opens the limo door for him he gentlyplaces Carly in the back seat before slamming the door shut. While Carly bangedon the doors trying to get out Sonny orders out to Max "Take her home."
"Sure thing boss" Max calls out to the boss whowas already heading towards his parked Jag.
~**~**~**~
Walkingout of the jewelry store Sonny turns his head around as he hears Bobbie yell
out his name "Sonneeeeeeeeeeeeee I can't believe it!"
"Hey Bobbie" Sonny smiles at her as she lookspast him towards the jewelry store he just left…
"Is Carly here with you?"
"Carly is back at my place resting." Sonnyexplains
"Oh that's too bad. I can't wait to see her again. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw her standing by your side on the news earlier. You must have been shocked when you first saw her"
"Shocked doesn't begin to cover it" Sonnyremarks since his life had change so drastically over the last few hours. Butthat was Carly for you; she was unexpected to him from the vert beginning
"How on earth did she survive the crash and why did it take her so long for her to let us know she survived?"
"Carly says a fisherman saved her life and well she had some memory lost so I guess that's why it took her so long to come forward" Sonny explains as he wonders what he was going to do with the information hehad about Bobbie being Carly's long lost mother.
Sonnyhadn't told her when the crash happened since he didn't want to cause her pain
about losing a child she wasn't aware she had lost but now that Carly is alivecarrying his child he knew Bobbie had the right to know she was going to be agrandmother for the very first time. However it wasn't his place to tell her.He wasn't sure if Carly knew about Bobbie being her birth mother but after allthe shit he knew there was a possibility that Carly came to town for more than
one reason.
"Oh well I'm so happy she's alive. You know if I didn't know better I could swear that girl was a Spencer because only a Spencer could have survived that crash" Bobbie jokes
"Yeah…well I should get going Carly is waiting for me back at the penthouse" Sonny remarks; feeling uncomfortable around Bobbiesince he hated keeping things from his friends.
"And you got her something special you want to give her right?" Bobbie grins since she saw him leaving the jewelry store
"Yeah you could say that. It was nice seeing you Bobbie. Take care of yourself"
"Hey Sonny" Bobbie calls out to him, causing himto stop in his tracks "Tell Carly if she wants her room back at Kellly's she's welcome to it"
"That won't be necessary Bobbie, Carly will be living with me from here on out" Sonny declares before walking away from her
~**~**~**~
"Unbelievable! That guy has some nerve! He dumps me into his limo orders you to take me to this dump and he doesn't even have the balls to be here! Who the hell does he think he is?!"
"He's Sonny Corinthos and I don't think the boss would be happy that you threw your shoe at me once I opened the limo door. I think my nose is broken" Max grumbles out as he shuts the first aid kit
"You're such a baby!"
"Am not" Max defends himself
"Well if Sonny thinks I'm just going to sit still while he's god knows where well he's in for a rude awaking! I'm out of here!"
"You're not going anywhere, not on my watch little lady" Max states as he stands in front of the door.
"Little lady?" Carly questions back as sheshoots Max a dirty look who had a stupid white bandage on his nose.
"Yeah that's right" Max grins back at her;seconds later the grin across his face fades as he lets out a moan as shepunches him in the gut
WatchingMax as he bends over in pain Carly remarks "For a guard you're kind of on the chubby side"
"I'm big boned lady!" Max defends himself as thepenthouse door opens.
"What's going on here?" Sonny demands as heenters the penthouse
"Where the hell were you?" Carly demands
"Awe, did you miss me?" Sonny questions back asMax turns around and faces him Sonny goes on to ask "What the hell happened to your nose"
"When I opened the limo door and she threw her shoe at me and well I got a heel in the nose boss. I think she broke it"
Shakinghis head Sonny looks back at Carly as he reminds her since she seemed to keep
forgetting "You know you're pregnant right?"
"I thought you wanted to keep that a secret"
"He works for me" Sonny points out
"Yes he does which is why you don't have that much game. Men like him make you look weak.
Look at him? He's like a big day old ugly doughnut"
"I told you I'm big bonded and my mama says I'm cute" Max grumbles out
"Don't engage with her Max, she's not worth it and since she's not looking out for our baby it's up to me. Don't argue with her unless it's necessary to keep her and the baby safe. She doesn't need the
stress and I don't need the headache."
"Sorry boss"
"Johnny is at his post so just go to GH and get your nose checked out"
"Thank you sir" Max utters out before rushingout of the penthouse.
"You should get off your feet and relax" Sonnyremarks as he makes his way towards the mini bar.
"I'll relax at the Port Charles Hotel; you know where I booked a room before you kidnapped me"
"We've been through this already your home is here now" Sonny states as he pours himself a much needed drink.
AsSonny drinks his drink Carly utters out "Look I admit we had some fun but the fun is over now so how about we let bygones be bygones and just live our lives. You don't really want me here and I don't want to be here so just call off your dogs and let me live at the Port Charles Hotel
for a while until I settle down in a house of my own paid by yours truly of course because you know you are my baby's daddy and our baby is going to need a real home"
"Our baby has a real home…here" Sonny remarkssince there was nooooooooooooo way in hell he was going to buy some house forCarly and allow her have men walk in and out of his kid's life.
Shewas pregnant with his child and the ONLY man his kid was going to call daddywas HIM! And not that he would admit this to her but just the very thought ofsome loser touching her made his blood boil
"You can't be serious about all of this. We hardly know each other and you don't even like me. You wanted me dead when Big Sal ratted me out so how are we supposed to live together?" Carly asks as shemakes her way towards him
"Well we should have thought about that before you got pregnant but we didn't so here we are" Sonny explains still notunderstanding why she was putting up such a fight considering she kept takingwhat belonged to him. Now that he was giving her what was his she was beingdifficult about everything when he was the one who was wronged.
"Look just because I'm pregnant with your child doesn't give you the right to tell me how to live my life"
"I live a dangerous life you choose to enter and I'm not about to let you put our child at risk because you can't woman up and do what's right" Sonny states before walking away from her and making his
way towards his desk
WatchingSonny as he sits down at his desk Carly asks "What are you doing?"
"It's called working; you know what honest people do to make a buck"
"Honest? You? Hello?! You're a mob boss and there's nothing honest about that"
"My coffee warehouse is honest work"
"So while you're doing an "honest" day's work what am I supposed to do?" Carly questions
"Rest, eat, and sleep, oh and stay out of my desk." Sonny tells her as the penthouse door opens…
"Boss we got trouble" Benny utters out in apanic tone of voice as he walked inside of the penthouse.
"Carly go upstairs" Sonny orders out to her asJohnny shuts the penthouse door shut
"You're kidding right? YOU bring me here against my will and you think I'm going to cooperate with you?"
"You have two choices you either go upstairs on your own and get a much needed nap or I'll have Johnny escort you upstairs and have him stand guard so you behave yourself"
"Fine I'm going but you're going to be soooooooooooooooo sorry about this!" Carly threatens out as she makes herway towards the staircase
Lettingout a heavy sigh as Carly stomps her way up the stairs Sonny asks "What's the problem?"
"She seems upset boss" Benny points out sinceCarly was obviously not a typical woman. Ever since the boss met Carly she caused Sonny nothing but trouble and he feared what else she could do in thefuture as retaliation against the boss.
"She's hormonal" Sonny explains
"Are you sure it's wise to keep her under your roof when she doesn't want to be here sir?" Benny asks as they hear a door slamclosed from upstairs
"Carly is not your concern Benny. I can handle whatever she dishes out. Now I'm sure you didn't come all the way over here to talk about Carly so what's going on?"
"It's Big Sal boss. He just left Florida and he's heading to Port Charles. I'm guessing he heard the news about Carly being alive sir which could be trouble"
"I'll handle it" Sonny simply states since he planned on handlinghim anyways before he had the bad gut feeling that preventing him from leavingPort Charles in the first place.
"But sir"
"I said I will handle it Benny!" Sonny snaps outannoyed knowing that Benny didn't want him to since Benny feared it would bebad for business.
"Yes sir." Benny nods before leaving thepenthouse knowing there was no point in arguing with Sonny. The only person whocould really talk sense into Sonny was Jason.
~**~**~**~
Walkinginside of the brownstone Taggert smiles at Bobbie as he asks "Hey Bobbie have you seen Carly?"
"No not yet but I wasn't aware you and Carly knew each other"
"We don't. I just wanted to ask her a few questions but Sonny is getting in my way" Taggert explains
"Well maybe you should stay away then" Bobbieadvises him since Sonny normally got what he wanted.
"So he could do to his fiancé what he did to his mother? I don't think so" Taggert remarks since it was his duty as a cop toprotect the innocent
"What?! Sonny and Carly are getting married?!"Bobbie asks stunned
"Sonny called Carly his fiancé but I hope they don't actually make it down the aisle for her sake"
"I think they will make a good looking couple and Sonny isn't the monster you make him out to be" Bobbie grins as she wonderswhy Sonny didn't tell her earlier when she bumped into him in front of thejewelry store.
"You don't know him the way I do Bobbie" Taggertutters out before making his way to his place since he could tell it waspointless to talk to her since she was obviously for this stupid wedding.
Grabbingher phone Bobbie speed dials Luke's. After a few rings she smiles when she
hears her big brother answer the phone… "Luke, Sonny's going to get married!...What, yes I'm sure! And as his friends it's our job to throw him a party!"
