A.N: Hey guys! A little shorter chapter this time, but I hope you like it!
Jason and Sonny exited the stationary elevator and stood in the hallway of their Penthouse apartments.
"We need to take care of this." Sonny ordered to Jason, and Jason nodded his head steadily in agreement.
"I know I just-" Jason began but he was suddenly distracted from his words when he spotted Johnny lying lifeless on the floor aside from Sonny's Penthouse door. "What the-" He started as he rushed hurriedly over to him. Sonny was unaware of the situation occurring behind him, but once he turned around, he followed closely in Jason's footsteps. Jason knelt down next to him and felt his neck.
"He's still alive." He declared in a low whisper, and then starred worriedly at the closed door beside him.
"Carly?" He questioned. Sonny wasted no valuable time and opened the door quickly, as Jason followed closely behind him, leaving the door open.
"Carly?" Sonny screamed, but there was no answer. Sonny sprinted closer to the staircase before calling her name once again. "Carly? Are you here?" Once again, she failed to answer. "There's something wrong. I can feel it." Sonny stated as he looked anxiously around him empty Penthouse. "Did Courtney go back to your apartment?" Sonny inquired as he made an intense face of anger and aggression. Jason didn't reply verbally to Sonny's question, however, he turned quickly around and rushed to his and Courtney's Penthouse; Sonny followed.
When Jason opened his door he knew right away Courtney was in trouble.
"Courtney are you in here?" Jason called aloud, waiting hopefully for an answer, but there wasn't.
"Sonny, they're in trouble. Someone was obviously watching from a clear distance and saw us leave. When we did, they got up to our floor, knocked Johnny out, and got a clear entrance to your place, where Carly and Courtney probably were." Jason concluded pacing about his empty apartment. Sonny took his anger out with more aggression as he slammed his tightened fist upon a sturdy table.
"No." Sonny sighed impatiently as he recovered from his powerful contact with the table.
"What do you mean no, Sonny? What else could it be?" Jason inquired obviously growing frantic and uncomfortable. He was ready for action.
"The phone call we got was a set up. Telling us to meet us on the docks, then not showing up. It was a way to get us out of the house so they could make their way in." Sonny explained as he reached for his cell-phone, but before he had the chance to use it as he intended, it began to ring. Jason walked closer to Sonny hoping it was Courtney.
"Yeah," Sonny answered. He concentrated on Jason for a few seconds before nodding his head, signaling to Jason this was it. "Who is this?" He questioned forcefully, waiting patiently, but irritated, as the caller replied.
"No need for introductions, Sonny. We've met before." The man stated.
"What do you want?" Sonny asked, despising his vulnerability.
"Well, I know what you want, but at the current moment, it appears that I have what you want. How does it feel, Sonny? To want something so bad, but have it taken away from you?" He asked as his voice seemed to grow colder and colder.
"DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH ME!" Sonny screamed with such power that it made Jason jump to action. "Where the hell is my family?"
"Where is mine?" The other man replied, rather calmed from Sonny's distress. "Oh, that's right. She's dead. It's too bad you can't empathize with the way I feel about that, Sonny. But then again, I do have the power to do so."
"Ric?" Sonny questioned, starring unbelievably at the phone as if he could see him through the speaker.
"You're pretty slow for a murderer, Sonny," He continued. "Oh, by the way, I have a message for you and Jason." He began, with a continuation of silence. Sonny awaited motionless on the other end, starring at Jason, but focusing completely on the call.
"What?" He finally questioned after a long, uncomfortable moment of silence.
"I don't only have two loved ones, technically, I have four. Don't deliver to me exactly what I want, and I sure hope your family makes it through whatever may accidentally happen." He threatened.
"If you lay one hand on my family I'll kill you in cold-blood, Ric." There was no answer. "YOU HEAR ME?" Sonny screamed out after him, but Ric had already canceled their current phone-call.
"What happened? Where's Courtney and Carly?" Jason questioned hurriedly as soon as Sonny dropped the phone carelessly on the table. Sonny starred in concentration at Jason.
"We have a crazed man with two pregnant women. We have to let him think we agree that we will do anything he asks for. We have to approach this with caution. We need to let him believe we are on his side for the time being to give us time to strike back. We need to get Courtney and Carly out of fire's way before we do anything to Ric. If we screw this up, Courtney and Carly could die." Sonny stated realistically as he starred seriously at an angered Jason.
"The only blood that will be staining Port Charles," Jason began. "Will be Ric's."
