the original character of Marrissa.
Authors Note: The rest of the story has nothing to do with the way things are going on the show. When I wrote this Carly was still with Lorenzo, but that's ok. This is why we call it 'fan fiction'
Chapter Two:
The weather in Peru was as it always was.hot and humid. Lorenzo loved this weather, the kind that made a man sweat all day no matter who he was, sweat that made him feel real. This is weather that he had forced himself to grow accustomed to, but right now, instead of allowing the warm Peruvian winds to blow through the open doors and windows, the entire house was shut up and every air conditioner was on, full blast. His 'guest' had made it very clear that the present atmosphere of the house during the time of their arrival was unacceptable.
"If you want me to stay in this house for even a second you better make it ten times cooler than it is right now!" Carly shouted at Lorenzo, one hand resting on her swollen belly, the other being 'held' by Lorenzo as he tried to politely lead her through the house.
"If that is what you want, Mrs. Corinthos." He responded with the same amount of courtesy he always seem to have.
"What I want is to go home but you won't let me so don't you dare act like you care." She spat, taking her arm away from his gentle grip. Keeping his cool, Lorenzo turned to face Carly.
"If you'll remember, Mrs. Corinthos, you chose to return to this arrangement in place of your sister in law."
She opened her mouth to yell at him some more but when she couldn't think of a come back she stomped off yelling,
"I can't this heat for a second longer! Fix it now!"
He had taken care of that problem to the satisfaction of Mrs. Corinthos, which was one less thing to worry about especially since news of a young girl looking for him in regards to 'business' was certainly something to investigate. Two of his men stationed in Port Charles were on their way now with the girl that, after having no choice but to go through her belongings, find out that was Marrissa Rodriguez and she was from Miami. Lorenzo had been wracking his brain for any ideas of whom this girl could be connected to when he remembered that one of his more prominent dealers in Miami had the name of Rodriguez with a granddaughter he would use in business transactions. More specifically he had heard that when a business deal went sour, Rodriguez would send his granddaughter to perform, well, what could be called a 'personal apology' but Lorenzo had always ridden it off as useless gossip. Now he wasn't so sure.
If a deal had gone wrong in Miami he should have heard about it but being out of the country with only a select few knowing how to reach him did leave the possibility open that news would be slow to reach him. His cell phone rang and in one swift, graceful movement, the phone was out and next to his ear.
"Yes"
"They've arrived with the girl, Sir." The monotone voice said into his ear just as Carly walked into the room. He carefully watched her watching him, with the quilt around her shoulders, as she slowly sank into the chair opposite him.
"Send them up immediately"
He closed his phone and placed it back in his jacket. He watched as Carly fought every urge to ask him what was going on. She had been quite adamant about not talking to him ever since he would only allow her access to a phone in his presence.
"You're more than welcome to ask about what's going on, Mrs. Corinthos." He waited for a moment. "No? All right then. Have it your way."
Lorenzo saw her jaw tighten and that brought him close to a smile. She had thought for a moment that he was going to fill her in, but he didn't just to piss her off, which he found to be fun on occasion. Carly took in a deep breath trying to keep herself from yelling at her captor when the room doors burst open, revealing a sight that made both Carly and Lorenzo jump from their seat.
His two men for P.C. walked in, one of them carrying a large, black suitcase and the other held a bound girl in his arms. The angle of her body was unnatural. Both her ankles and wrists had been bound together but her wrists had been tied behind her back causing her shoulders to jut out. Gag in her mouth, her head fell back in what would seem to be a most uncomfortable position.
*Dear God*
"What the hell is this?" Lorenzo demanded from the man with the girl. "Is she alright? What happened?!"
The man didn't know exactly what question to answer first but knew it was in his best interest to start speaking.
"She was giving us too much trouble on the jet. We couldn't contain her so we injected her with a sedative."
This answer obviously upset Lorenzo even more than he already was.
"You injected her with something without her being checked out by a doctor!? What the hell were you thinking?" he swiftly closed the distance between him and his two men.
In the blink of an eye a knife was in his hand and he cut at the bindings and took the gag out of her mouth. Putting the knife back he gave his two men a look that could kill and then took the girl into his own arms. The room was absolutely silent as he gently placed her on one of the sofas. He took a moment to calm himself. He had to be calm, cool, and collected. Always. He turned and his voice returned to a cold harsh whisper that could freeze any man's soul.
"Do you realize that if you gave her too much she could slip into a coma? And that's assuming she wasn't allergic to anything."
The two men were silent, uncomfortably shifting their weight, not quite knowing what to do now. Giving himself a mental shake, Lorenzo knew they wouldn't do anything else today unless they were told to, so he picked up the girl in his arms and placed her back with one of his men.
"Take her to one of the rooms before I can think of a punishment for your stupidity."
The two quickly made their way out of the room, leaving Lorenzo and Carly in silence. He sat back down in his chair and rubbed his forehead. Sometimes he could barely believe the idiocy of the men who worked for him. If that girl dies before he can find out why she's here he knew he might find himself in more trouble than he needed right now. More importantly he just didn't want her to die. He may be a drug lord but he was only a murderer when he absolutely had to be. He had been so caught up in his thoughts that he almost didn't remember that Carly was in the room with him.
"What the, I mean who, who was that?" Carly managed to get out through her awed shock. Lorenzo looked at the now sitting pregnant woman in front of him.
"Her name is Marrissa Rodriguez. I think she is from a family that I have dealings with in Miami."
"Why the hell was she brought in like that!?" she yelled at him. He could tell her maternal instincts were kicking in, even for this girl that she didn't know.
"As you could just see, it wasn't my choice as to how she arrived."
"Well, what are you going to do about it?" she demanded. She carefully wrapped her arms around her swelled belly protectively.
"I hate to disappoint you, Mrs.Corinthos, but right now this situation is none of your concern. Excuse me." And he left her there, all alone.
