Was he ever going to let her go, let her live? Brenda wondered as she ran from the door and headed towards the room at the end of the hall. Pushing opened the door she breathed a sign of relief as she spotted her purse and jacket exactly where she had put them. Pulling on her jacket she grabbed her purse just as she heard him banging at the door, trying to force it open. Trying not to panic she knew that she had to keep her head. Pushing away the clothes in the walk in closet she smiled. There at the back, in a small corner, hidden by a mirror was a door, an exit. Sonny had had it put in when he bought in to the hotel. Sonny was a silent partner so no one would think that there'd be a door in the closet. Pushing it opened she stepped throw and pulled the mirror/door closed after her just as the front door broke down and he stepped inside. Holding her purse tightly she quickly began to descend the stairs. Reaching the bottom she looked around. Jason had told her that there would be a guard here. Brenda was about to call out but decided against it, if the guard wasn't here something was wrong. Quietly she walked towards the door that she presumed lead outside. Pushing them opened she saw a small back car sitting on the side of the road. Walking up to it she noticed the small engraving on the side, right under the rear-view mirror on the drivers side, it read; Emily Q. Smiling she knew that this car could only belong to her absent husband and she slid into the front seat. Reaching down under the seat she pulled out a shiny silver key and smiled to herself; Jason was becoming predictable. Waiting a few minutes she laughed when the balcony chair came flying off the balcony and landed in the street five chairs behind her, he was pissed. Turning on the car Brenda left with only one glace up at the beautiful apartment and at Alcazar's pissed off guard.
Brenda had been driving forever, heading further and further away from the direction of the hotel. Finally she couldn't drive anymore she needed sleep. Pulling into a motel she figured it would do. She needed to stay somewhere where she could pay money so that Alcazar's men couldn't trace her card and she didn't have a whole lot on her. Parking the car far away and out of view Brenda grabbed her purse and locked it before heading towards the motel. After getting a room and paying for it with what money she did have Brenda headed towards the second floor and her room. Making sure that the door was locked she sat on the bed and grabbed the black cell phone from her purse; she needed Jason. Pressing the speed dial of the only number on the phone, she waited.
Carly sat on the couch, reading. It was late and she couldn't sleep. Sonny was off somewhere doing something dangerous and it worried her and if that wasn't bad enough Jason was with him. Turning the page that she had been on for the last ten minutes she jumped when a phone rang. Going over to the desk she picked up the phone and yawned into.
"Hello?"
All she heard was the dial tone but still a phone was ringing. Placing the phone back down she spun, taking in all of the room and wondering where the ringing was coming from. Following the sound she bended down and pulled a small back cell phone from the couch pillows. Looking at it strangely, her curiosity got the better of her and she flipped it opened.
"Hello?" She tried again, this time into the right phone.
"Jason?" Came a questioning voice.
"No, it Carly." She told the female voice.
"Carly where Jason?" The other voice asked her and Carly was sure she knew the owner.
"Who is this?" Carly asked, needed to know.
"It's Brenda, Carly, now get me Jason." Brenda told the blond woman.
"Brenda? Jason isn't here." Carly told her.
"God, no." Brenda almost cried.
"Where is he?" Brenda asked her voice cracking.
"He's out, with Sonny, somewhere." Carly told her. "Brenda what's wrong?" She added, getting worried.
"I'm scared." Brenda told the other woman and then went on to tell Carly everything that had happened.
"Oh God. Listen Brenda don't leave I'll be as soon as I can." Carly told her, knowing that Sonny and Jason might not be back till later the next day and that Brenda needed someone now.
"No, Carly stay there, you have Michael." Brenda said, reminding the blond of her son.
"And Michael has Leticia, you have no one and Jason might not be back till tomorrow so I'm coming." Carly told her, her tone not leaving room for argument.
"I'll leave a note for Jason. Don't leave the room Brenda." Carly told her.
"Carly, keep the phone with you." Brenda told her not wanting Carly to get lost.
"I'll be there as soon as I can." Carly told Brenda and with that they hung up. Not even two seconds after hanging up Carly grabbed the house phone and called Johnny telling him to meet her at the air port and to have to plane ready to go. After writing Jason and Sonny a quick note about what was up and waking Leticia to tell her she'd be gone for a few days, she was out the door.
