Jason woke with a start. He let out a breath through clenched teeth as he
took in his surroundings. A beeping noise came from his right. He felt
trapped and tried to get out of his hospital bed but found that he had an
IV stuck in his arm.
He hated hospitals. Jason didn't like not having control over his own body. He pulled the IV out quickly, wincing slightly, and went in search of his clothes. Once dressed Jason made his way out of the hospital undetected and hurried to the penthouse.
Sonny had finally convinced Carly to get some rest, but was unable to sleep himself. He stood at the window looking out over the harbor. It was very early in the morning so everything was quiet and peaceful.
Within an instant the peace was broken as Jason exploded through the door to the penthouse. Sonny turned around quickly, startled by the sudden noise in the midst of all the silence.
"Jason! What the hell are you doing here? You should be in the hospital resting." Sonny said. His face was a mixture of anger and concern.
"I'm fine. I couldn't just lay there and do nothing while Elizabeth has been kidnapped." Jason's voice full of barely controlled anger.
A noise came from the stairs causing both men to turn. Carly was standing at the top tying her robe around her. "What is it with her? Doesn't she do anything anymore besides get kidnapped?" Carly said with unveiled contempt.
"Carly, not now." Sonny growled.
Carly ignored him and continued down the stairs. She grabbed Jason by the arm and dragged him to sit on the couch. "You should be resting now and not worrying about Princess Purity." The concern for him was evident in her voice.
"Carly .. " Sonny said warningly. She shot him a pointedly icy look. She really hated it when he jumped to Elizabeth's defense.
Jason opened his mouth to comment but his cell phone rang. He shot Carly a look that meant 'keep your mouth shut and mind your own business'.
"Morgan." He answered edgily.
"Jason?" Elizabeth's voice came over the line, her voice small and full of fear.
"Elizabeth are you all right? Where are you?" Jason asked worriedly.
"I'm not hurt but I have a gun pointed at me." She answered. Jason heard her cry out sharply. "Ok, I'm going to tell him." She said through clinched teeth, obviously talking to her captor. Her voice now held anger and determination. "He says to meet him on the docks in one hour .. Don't do it Jason, he's setting a trap for you." She finished quickly.
Jason heard Elizabeth cry out in pain. "Stop! Please!" Elizabeth screamed. And Jason saw red.
"You listen to me!!" Jason shouted angrily into the phone.
He could hear breathing, rough & deep, letting him know that the man was listening. "If you touch her again I'll make you beg for a quick death." Jason promised darkly.
"Be on the docks in one hour or there won't be enough of her left to bury." The man said completely ignoring Jason's threat.
