Sonny opened the door and got out of his limo even before it stopped moving. He immediately started running towards what was left of his warehouse. The flames were now extinguished but it was in total ruins. He stopped a paramedic who was walking by.
"What happened?Was anyone inside?Were they hurt?" He blurted out a jumble of questions.
"I'm sorry sir but I can't answer your questions right now," He started off in the other direction.
"Listen to me," Sonny yelled, grabbing him by the shirt collar and raising him off the ground slightly.
"Sonny," Jason came up behind him and placed a hand on his arm.
Sonny lowered the man to the ground but didn't let go of him. "My wife could've been in there, I need you to answer me now."
"We haven't identified her yet, we need to take her to the hospital right away." The man stuttered.
"Sonny," Jason repeated.
Sonny released his hold on the man and he hurried off. "Her Jason, it's a her."
"It could be any number of 'hers' in this town."
Sonny's attention was drawn to the people emerging from the warehouse. Paramedics surrounded a stretcher. Sonny got to them just as they were loading her into the ambulance. He looked down at the face of his wife, his true love and felt faint. Her face was a mixture of dirt and blood.
"We have to leave, are you coming?" One of the paramedics asked.
Sonny nodded and climbed into the ambulance beside his wife. He held her hand and tears silently flowed down his face.
Jason watched as Sonny and Carly drove away to the hospital. He closed his eyes to control his rage but instead ended up punching the nearest wall. The pain seared through his fist but he didn't care. All that mattered was Carly. He needed to get there as soon as possible. He turned around and found himself staring into Alexis's eyes. He grunted and tried to move past her but she stopped him.
"Jason," She started.
"I don't have time for this." He gritted his teeth while he spoke.
"I just want you to know that if you need anything…"
"She's not dead!" He yelled at Alexis and stormed off.
Alexis turned to Ned and Kristina. "We need to go to the hospital."
"Alexis, you don't need to be there for this." Ned protested.
"I want to be there for support." She insisted.
"Sonny's wife is dying and all you can think about is the next time you can get him into bed?" He demanded.
Alexis slapped Ned across the face, hard. "That is not it at all," She shook with tears.
"C'mon I'll take you." Kristina put her arm around Alexis and led her off. She looked back and glared at Ned.
"Bye Monica, I'm on my break," Bobbie pressed the button on the elevator. The doors opened and she walked in just as someone was wheeled in on a stretcher. Knowing that Monica would take care of whatever had happened she didn't pay much attention.
"Corinthos warehouse explosion," Someone said.
Curious, Bobbie stepped out of the elevator. "I hope it's not Sonny, Carly would be devastated,"
Sonny then appeared not far behind the stretcher and her heart seemed to stop. "Sonny—" She whispered.
He turned around and when she saw his tear stained cheeks she knew it was her baby on the stretcher.
"Oh god," She rushed to her daughters side.
"We need to get her into surgery right away," Monica told her.
Bobbie nodded and they took her down the hall. Once Carly was out of sight she turned to Sonny.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Everything you've heard is about all I know." He replied, with little feeling.
Bobbie wrapped her son-in-law in a hug. Tears started streaming down her face and she feared she would never be able to stop.
