Chapter 29
Carly stood there as it all hit her like bus. Why hadn't she put it together. "Mama, I hate to do this, but could you watch Michael. I uh… I have a few errands that I totally forgot about and you know he hates to go on errands with me. I would really appreciate it and Michael loves to spend time with you. Of course unless it's a problem."
Bobbie stared and her daughter and wondered what she was up to. She knew that Carly didn't have any errands to run, but at the same time she knew she couldn't stop her from doing what it was that she was going to do. "Carly it's no problem. I can watch Michael but you be careful. You hear me? You have son who needs. And please sweetie don't do anything crazy," she told her in that motherly way and than kissed her forehead.
Carly smiled at her. She would be careful, she had to much to lose and what harm could come from a little research. Before she left she went over to Michael who was sitting on the stool. "Hey, Michael mommy's has some errands to run ok?" Michael went sour. He had this look and you would think that he had to clean his room and wash his own clothes. "And you are going to stay here with grandma. How does that say sound? Will you be good?" Her smiled and nodded. He was so happy that he didn't have to go with his mom. Carly than kissed her son forehead before she began to leave.
As soon as she made it out the door she made a call. "Hey, it's me. I'm outside Kelly's and I need your help," she spoke into the phone.
***********
As Courtney began to turn around she got a bad feeling. She knew that who ever it was trouble.
"Well…well…well. Look what we have here," a creepy voice said before she was completely turned around. She knew that voice. She knew it so well and it was one of the last voices she wanted to here right now.
"What do you want AJ?" she spoke as sweetly as possible. She could tell he was drunk by the way he was staggering toward her. That what scared her the most at that moment. It wasn't the fact that she was with AJ, it was the fact that he was drunk because that's when he's the most harmful. Out of fear she began to pull her jacket a little tighter around her body.
"Why do you seem scared baby?" he told her as he got close enough that Courtney could have gotten drunk just smelling his breath. "It isn't me. It can't be. Come on I don't kill people like the Golden Boy, but boy did… did I lo..love you," he slurred.
Courtney tried to back away but he would just step closer. The closer he got the more frightened she became. Something was hitting her in the head and she wasn't sure what it was. Her mind was trying to say something but she couldn't get it out. There was something in his eyes and she wasn't quite sure what it was. "AJ, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry that I hurt you, but if we had stayed together it would have been even worst. You deserve to fall in love and be married to someone whose in love you. And I'm not that person."
AJ wasn't really listening to the things she was saying. He didn't care what she had to say right now he was pissed. He lost once again. "You didn't love me Courtney because you're in love with a killer. And he can never love you back. But why should I be hurt right? You were cheating on me. You were the slut who went from one brother to the next. Not only that but you showed your stuff to a bunch of drunken losers. But hey why shouldn't I be hurt. I had you and I fucked you and you didn't even love me. I got the hooker for free."
Courtney was crying when she heard him say such awful things to her. She tried to tell herself it wasn't AJ it was the alcohol. And that's when she couldn't believe herself she was defending him and blaming the alcohol, she was just as bad as him. Than it hit her all of what AJ had said and that's when she realized his eyes. He knew he knew everything. "You knew… you knew that I was stripping. and than you followed me. You couldn't trust me. But what hurts most was I hated myself when I stripping."
"You may have hated yourself honey, but I saw the way you looked at my BROTHER who I hate. You pulled the first move. You kissed him. And he just happened to kiss back. I want you know that you are…."
"No AJ. Don't you talk. You knew that I was stripping. and you couldn't be a man. You know the reason I left you had nothing to do with your brother. It had to do with me. I left because I realized that the only reason I married you was to get back and Sonny and the only reason we stayed together was because I didn't want to become my mother. Which is pointless because I'm nothing like her. And you are a fucking bastard. How can you call me a slut!! And I didn't cheat on you. I kissed your brother and you know what at first I felt bad but now I don't. now that I know the truth I don't feel bad at all. Why? Why should I feel bad? You followed me and watched everything that I did. When you went out of town where were you really. You what I don't want to know. I don't want anything to do with you." after Courtney screamed at him she ran up the steps and away from the docks as she turned the corner she saw a familiar building.
***********
Jason ran to the docks when he heard yelling. He wasn't sure who the voices belonged to but he knew them. By the time he made it to the docks he was greeted by only one face. And not one that he was really looking forward to seeing, but by seeing the face the knew who the other person was and began to worry. "AJ what the hell have you done now!!"
"Well if it isn't… the man who stole my wife. You were always better than me. Except for once I had something that was worth wild and you didn't have it. You got jealous. Yes… everyone the infamous Jason Morgan was jealous of his own brother. You see little brother. I had this beautiful woman, who loved me. She didn't care about my flaws. She loved me she really loved me. And I don't believe for a second when she says she doesn't and never did love me. I felt it every time we… you know… did what married couples do," a drunken AJ told him. Jason must have been about 5 feet away and he could smell the liquor on his breathe. But he was so mad at what AJ had just said he wanted to pound him he didn't care how drunk AJ was. "And you what Jason you just wouldn't let me have one thing that was important and only mine. You watched her strip and you got off on it. It was some great thing to you. And than when she kiss you in the rain and you went back and paid off her debt. You wanted to be her hero. Hoping that she would kiss you again. You just loved that you were taking the only good thing in my life. Well she's all yours you can have that slut of a wife of mine."
That was it. AJ just pulled the lay strand of hay that was under Jason. He was beyond pissed. AJ not only knew that Courtney was stripping and did nothing about it, but he just called her a slut. Jason was no longer Jason Morgan, he was Jason Morgan enforcer. You could see it in his eyes, the contempt he held for this man.
***********
Carly stood outside of Kelly's waiting after she got off the phone. She was pacing back and forth. Than a big, muscular man came around the corner and headed toward Carly's ready to explode body. She felt a tap on her shoulder and jump like a dolphin at Sea World.
"Hey!! Hey. It's ok Mrs. Corinthos," the man said to her. As she turned to face him she knew who it was. "Look what has you so jumpy and why did you call?"
She put her hand on her heart as she tried to catch her breathe. "I know. Look Marco, I just need your help with some research. But there is a catch." Marco flinched at the word catch. He knew Carly pretty well and where there was a catch thing couldn't be good. And he wasn't so sure he wanted to stick around and see what the catch was. But before he could leave Carly stopped him, "I know you are going to question me about this and say that you don't want help. But it's really important Marco. You know what we talk about the other night." He nodded. "It's about that. And you're my favorite body guard you know that"
He knew that she was just trying to butter him up but he loved the boost his ego was getting. "Carly what is it that you want me to find out about Jason and will it get me fired. You see I for some unknown reason I like my job. The pay is good and I like the people I work with, and the hours. And the benefits seem to out way the troubles that this job brings. So Carly I ask you again will helping you get me fired?"
She was a bit hesitate to answer because truth be known she didn't know. She couldn't say for certain that he would or wouldn't get fired. "I'm going to honest. And tell you everything for once in my life I won't leave anything out. I don't know. You could lose your job and you couldn't. I guess it really depends upon what we find. I don't know. If Sonny were a fair man than no you wouldn't get fired, but you know him and you know that I can't be sure. Look at it this way if you do help it's for a good cause."
Marco stood there and was trying to way his options. Why did Carly need to know about Jason? They were best friends and he thought they were close. "Ok, how about you go back to the beginning of this conversation and tell me what the catch is? And maybe that will help to make my decision. But listen I still don't understand why your doing this what is it that you're trying to solve?"
Carly stood there as it all hit her like bus. Why hadn't she put it together. "Mama, I hate to do this, but could you watch Michael. I uh… I have a few errands that I totally forgot about and you know he hates to go on errands with me. I would really appreciate it and Michael loves to spend time with you.
