"What do you mean they wanted their money?"

Carly pushed away and Sonny let her knowing to give her her space to get through this, "Exactly what I said. They wanted their money. It seems that Chris had been running drugs for them for a while and when the car was pushed over the cliff there was a shipment in the car."

"How was there a shipment in the car and it not have been investigated?"

"I don't know" she shook her head as if to get the images out of her head. "Maybe they had someone inside the police force, maybe they just lied to me because they lost their best dealer. I don't know."

"I'm sorry" he rubs her arms to sooth her.

"They told me that since Chris died that I had to pay them back. They wanted it now."

Sonny felt himself getting angry, knowing exactly how those guys operate. "Why were the drugs in the car if Chris was taking you out?"

"I still had a curfew then and he was supposed to deliver the drugs after our date...."

"But someone ran you off the road?"

"Exactly....so according to them it was now my responsibility to come up with the money..."

Sonny looked on as she told her story.

"I told them I didn't have that kind of money. They told me I had to come up with it or I would suffer....." she began to shake again and Sonny got up and rubbed her arms.

"Hey, why don't you stop for now....we can talk more later..."

"No Sonny, I need to get through this... please"

"Ok honey, just come over here and sit down please" he leads her over to the couch and they sit facing each other.

"Sonny...why are you being so nice to me?" she asks him.

"Honey" he strokes her cheek. "You do things to me that I can't explain, its easy to listen and help you. Trust me, you don't know what you do to me" he leans in and kisses her.

They break apart. "Thank you" Carly whispers.

"Your welcome."

"I need to finish this, then we'll see if you still feel the same way."

"I will...."

"They didn't do anything that night, they let me go with the warning. I went home and tried everything I could to come up with the money. I tried every excuse to get it out of my parents, I borrowed from friends, I stole from my grandparents, I tried everything come up with only a thousand dollars. I got a job, but knew that wouldn't make money fast enough."

Sonny noticed she was looking kinda pale and got up to make her a drink.

"I didn't hear anything for over a week. I was scared to death, I kept looking over my shoulder every five minutes...." Sonny handed her the drink and she took it gladly. "Finally I was working late one night and a guy came in and sat down at a table and requested to see me. I went over to the table wondering why he wanted to see me. I went over to the table and he ordered me to sit down."

Sonny reached out and took her hand, fearing what came next.

"I sat down and he asked how much money I had come up with. I told him and he just laughed." Carly looked down at her feet.

Sonny entwined his fingers with hers, urging her to go on.

"He had the most awful laugh I've ever heard. He laughed so hard I thought he was gonna pass out. Then he asked me if I was kidding. He asked I was kidding. I said no. He looked dead at me and said that I better wish I was."

"I broke down right down in front of him crying my eyes out and all he could do was stare. He asked if I knew how much money I owed them. I said no" Carly began to cry again, reliving the scene.

"Carly honey, how much did he owe?"

"Almost a million dollars ...."
