Courtney sighed, running a hand through her hair, eyes darting around the darkening hallway. Opening the door to the loft, she shrugged off her jacket, letting it fall onto the couch. The loft lay still, the quiet serene setting reminding Courtney of how tumultuous the past few days had been. Max poked his head in the doorway, looking around the room with a subtle interest.
"I'll be right outside when you're ready," He stated softly, earning a distracted nod. Closing the door behind him and leaving Courtney to her thoughts. Pulling two suitcases from beneath the bed, she began removing items from drawers, folding and placing them inside the bags. Tears filled her eyes as exhaustion and sadness hit her harder then before. Taking a deep breath, Courtney tried to settle her rapidly beating heart; images of Jamie and Jason together getting married flashing before her eyes as if she had been there. Picking a vase up from the table to her side Courtney sent it flying into the wall. Watching the crystal shatter, water dripping down the wall, while the white roses it once held lay against the ground. Her tears began to over flow, the sound of the glass breaking echoing in her head, as she slumped to the ground in a painful heap of sobs.
Jamie pulled a sweater over her head, inhaling sharply when her stitches stretched. Ignoring the insistent pain, she ventured towards the mirror. Her reflection caused a scowl to form marring her pale face. Her hair hung in limp messy curls; tying it up tightly she slipped past her guard and towards the elevator. Stepping into it she pulled a cell phone from her purse.
"I'll be at the cemetery in ten minutes be alone" She barked into the device, ending the call before a response could be heard. Letting out a shaky breath, Jamie watched the floors slowly be counted down, towards the parking garage.
Jamie walked towards the darkened cemetery, her gaze growing cold at the memories. Rain began to drizzle from the clouds, the thunder growing louder. Shuddering from the icy wind, Jamie pulled her coat closer to herself.
The sun bore down on the large cemetery. Green grass glimmered in the light, tall willow trees creating little shade in the scorching summer heat. Jamie crouched at her fathers' grave, a single tear trailing down her cheek. The slab of marble was molded into a half circle, the words un combatiente, un padre, un hombre leal al fin, engraved within it's center. Jamie felt a warm breeze ruffle her lightly curled hair, her black dress feeling heavy under the suns' rays.
"El padre lo amó" A voice whispered in her ear, the words sounding delicate against the strangers tongue.
"I never learned Spanish" The read head replied sheepishly, observing the brunette move from behind her to kneel at her side.
"I said that father loved you"
"A fighter, a father, a loyal man to the end" Angel stated fondly, a hint of a smile playing on her lips as she traced the engraving on the tombstone.
"Sonny did this, didn't he?" Jamie questioned her voice breaking slightly.
"Yes he did. None of that matters though because we have a job to do, were all father had and now we have to finish what he started" Angel smoothed an imaginary wrinkle in her white skirt.
"I don't understand" Jamie replied, rising slowly as her sister did the same.
"Were going to destroy Sonny, they know I'm Sorel's daughter but they don't know you"
Jamie shook her head" I don't want to be involved" she began to walk alway when Angel gripped her arm.
" We only have each other now, father would want us to bring Sonny down" Angel loosened her grip, watching the emotions flicker in Jamie's eyes.
" I don't want to be like him, he was a killer" Angel raised her hand, slapping Jamie across the cheek. The red head remained still, her gaze connecting with her sisters. Angel's brown eyes filled with fury before becoming cold and glassy once again.
" I'm only nineteen I just want to got to college, that's what dad wanted for me" Jamie reasoned, squaring her shoulders and preparing for a fight. Angel only shrank back, running a hand through her short brown hair as she processed her sisters' words.
"If that's what you want then go" Jamie nodded silently turning on her heel, when Angel began speaking again. "Don't expect any money to pay for this little endeavor though".
Jamie gaped, her eyes pooling with unshed tears; blurring her sisters form that began to move closer.
"I promise the minute I feel satisfied that Sonny has lost everything, that you can go to college, get married and live on some farm. For now though you need to help me," Angel stated, running a hand through Jamie's hair.
"What do you need me to do?"
"It's been three years, I have been loyal to you, I haven't questioned any of your decisions, and what to I get?" Jamie inquired furiously, turning towards the woman standing behind her. The rain fell faster, the ground becoming thick and muddy. Jamie clutched her coat, the water soaking through her thin layers.
Angel sighed, rolling her eyes at the display. " I had no choice, I have to get Sonny to that island so this plan will work"
"No you wanted to show me that I'm expendable" Jamie bit back coldly, her gaze fixing on the one person she had trusted.
"I was sending Sonny a message, if there had been another way…"
"Don't lie to me like I'm still that immature nineteen year old you coerced into working with you. I've seen the way you work people"
Shaking her head, Angel dropped the umbrella in her hand, letting the rain stream down her face and soak her clothes. Pulling a knife from her pocket she slid it down her palm; watching in fascination as blood began to flow in droplets from the cut. Jamie's eyes went wide at the display, her heart beginning to pound louder then the thunder that echoed through the cemetery. Angel walked to her sister, her heels sinking into the ground. Taking Jamie's hand she placed the blade against her palm, looking into the red heads eyes. Jamie winced biting her lip, while the blade sliced into her palm, blood beginning to pool.
Angel interlaced their cut hands, pressing the palms together.
"This is Sorel blood, las hermanas siempre, sisters always. Too much of our family's blood has been spilled over the years because of Sonny. It has to end" Angel's voice began to lull the reservations Jamie had. The red head looked at her sister, seeing the flicker of desperation in her eyes.
"What do I need to do?"
"Get on that plane tonight and make sure Courtney and Jason never reach their happy ending" Angel responded casually, guiding Jamie towards the limo parked near the back of the cemetery.
Courtney pushed her two duffel bags towards the door, pausing briefly to look at the broken glass by her feet. Shaking her head, she walked back to the washroom. Looking at her reflection she felt a sigh pass her lips. Her pale cheeks were marred with tearstains; a scowl spread across her features at the site.
"She's not going to win"
Carly smiled at Max as she brushed him towards the loft door, knocking tentatively before walking in. Carly opened her mouth then shut it at the site of Courtney. Her hair laid straight past her shoulder, knee high boots hitting just below her leather mini skirts bottom. A sleeveless red v-neck shirt showed off her bare midriff, a short leather jacket lay draped over it.
"Nice look, wanna explain the sudden change?" Carly inquired casually, leaning against the couch's arm and watching Courtney dart across the room.
"Courtney"
"I'm not going to let Jamie walk in here and take him away from me, I don't care if her last name is Morgan"
"You know you don't need to dress up for Jason he loves you no matter what"
"I know but he does have a thing for leather" Courtney replied cracking a timid smile. Carly laughed at the remark, the atmosphere lightening considerably.
"Come on paradise awaits" Carly commented, placing an arm around her sister in law's shoulder and walking towards the door.
"You think if Jaime gets on my nerves we could figure out a way to kill her and hide the body?" Courtney asked in a mock seriousness.
Carly nodded, her smile growing at the thought "I'm sure we can arrange something"
Jaime stepped onto the air strip her mind whirling at the task before her.
"Las hermanas siempre""Sisters always" Jaime repeated, holding her head high as she walked towards the plane.
Angel walked into Kelly's her gaze traveling over the quaint dinner with disdain. Brushing her brown hair behind her shoulder she walked up the stairs towards the boarding rooms. Knocking on the door lightly she heard giggling and footsteps. Rolling her eyes she watched the door open slowly.
"Can I help you" The brunette inquired raising her eyebrows.
"Yes is Rick Lansing here?" angel inquired looking over the other girls shoulder, into the dimly lit room.
"He's in the shower is there something specific you want?"
"Actually I want to give him a message"
Angel pulled the knife from her purse, not giving the other woman time to respond before embedding in her stomach. The brunette watched the girl struggle for breath, desperately trying to stop the bleeding and stay upright.
"It's okay just let go," Angel whispered, crouching by the woman until the last signs of life left her body. Angel signaled for the guard at the end of the hallway.
"Put her on the bed and leave this" She stated, handing over a piece of paper before disappearing into the hallway.
