A/N: Again I want to thank everyone who did review my story! I am new at this so every bit of feedback that I get from you helps me out a lot!
~~~~~~~~~~In the park.
…"Because without me Sonny would never get Carly back." said Alcazar as he stood over Jason's unconscious body.
Alcazar then turned to look over at two of his henchmen that had just walked through the bushes. "Make sure that Morgan will know to never pull a gun on me again!" he said with an evil note in his voice. "After you take care of him I want you to come back on my yacht. I need all the guards that I can get on Carly. She has proven to be quite the wild fire and it wouldn't be good if she ended up escaping the yacht before I'm through dealing with Sonny."
The two men just gave a silent nod with the hint of a grin as Alcazar walked away. "Now comes the fun part." said one goon to the other.
One of the men grabbed Jason by his arms and hauled his body up so the other had a clean target. The other man gave an appreciative, yet cruel smile as he began to pummel Jason in the stomach with his two fists.
The two men took turns beating up on Jason and only left when he was covered in blood and they were sure that he would feel an incredible amount of pain when he woke up. Without looking back the two heartless goons left Jason alone and bloody in the middle of the park, in the dead of the night.
~~~~~~~~~~At Sonny's pent house.
Courtney had finished reading the bedtime story to Michael and gave him a kiss on the forehead before she went down the stairs to talk to Sonny. "He's asleep," she said as she reached the bottom of the stairs.
Sonny, who had been sitting on the couch and was looking at a picture of Carly, just nodded his head in reply. God I wish that I could see Carly again. I just want to have her home and safe in my arms where she belongs.
When Courtney saw that Sonny was looking at a picture of Carly she decided that she would go over to her and Jason's pent house across the hall, to give Sonny some time to himself. Poor Sonny, out of all of us he is suffering the worst. I just wish that Carly was home with Sonny and Michael. They both need her so much, and there isn't much that I can do to make them feel any better. Michael needs his mother back.
As Courtney entered her and Jason's pent house, the feeling of dread that she experienced earlier returned. "Oh God, Jason, where are you?" she whispered to herself as she flung herself on the couch and began to sob. She didn't really know why she was crying, she had been really emotional of late, with Carly being gone and everyone being really tense all the time. As she drifted off to a restless sleep she began to think of ways that she could help to get Carly back.
~~~~~~~~~~In the park.
Jason had begun to regain consciousness only to have excruciating pain flood his every muscle. "Uhhhhh," he groaned as he tried to remember what had happened to him. It was pitch black around him and he just laid there as the events of earlier that evening came back to him.
After a while he seemed to remember talking to Alcazar and then someone hitting him on the head from behind. He reached his hand to the back of his head, and sure enough, there was a huge bump there. Every move he made sent waves of pain racking through his body. "I have to get up and go home." he whispered these words of encouragement to himself. " Courtney will be worried sick about me."
With what seemed like hours, Jason finally managed to pull himself into an upright position. He just sat there for a while until his head cleared and his eyes adjusted to the darkness that surrounded him. He took some time to scan his body for injuries. He thought that he had at lease two broken ribs and possibly a broken left shoulder, plus all of the uncountable cuts and bruises that littered his face and chest.
He took a deep breath and tried to stand up. The first time he ended up falling right back down, but the second time, with the help of the branches on a nearby bush, he managed to pull himself into a standing position.
Jason started walking around to get the feeling back in his legs. I wonder how long I was out for. He looked at his watch. It's been about four hours. Courtney is probably sick with worry. I told her it wouldn't take me long. Jason winced with pain as he hit his leg on the bench that was nearby.
It didn't take long for Jason to get over the pain in his legs and start on his way back home.
~~~~~~~~~~An hour later at Jason's pent house.
Courtney woke up with a start because she thought that she heard a noise. "Jason, is that you?" she asked, not sure if it was him or not. Fear began to creep into her until she saw Rosie coming around the end of the couch, her tail wagging happily and smacking the couch with a thudding noise. "Oh Rosie, it's just you!" she said as she reached down to pet an excited Rosie.
Rosie put her front paws on the couch, licked Courtney's hand, and ran over to the pent house door. When she reached the door she began pawing at in until she got Courtney's attention.
"What is it Rosie? Is someone out there?" a frightened Courtney asked as she rose from the sofa. She walked over to the closet that was by the door and pulled out a baseball bat. With the bat in one hand she opened the door a crack and gasped when she saw…
