Someone To Love - Chapter 2
"Don't you ever get tired of defending scum, Ms. Davis," Taggert asked impatiently.
"Well Taggert I'll take that as a yes. Now Sonny why don't you and Jason go on in and I'm going to try and find out what the charges they are pressing against you. Carly why don't you take Gia and help her clean up than I'll talk with you and help walk you through your statement."
Everyone just nodded, including Gia and Carly; everyone was too tired to argue. Taggert had walked away but had not given up, he was determined to get his sister away from those awful people, and put Sonny's lackey in jail.
"What happened tonight Jason?"
"I don't know Sonny, I was walking out on the docks, I heard gunshots, and shouting so I went to go check it out. It was Roscoe and his men, I didn't get a chance to find out who they offed because they spotted Gia and Roscoe gave his men orders to have her taken care of because she saw the whole thing."
Sonny paced back and forth listening intently.
So basically everything went wrong that could? But that's only one body, and how did Gia get covered in blood?"
"Roscoe and all of his men except for one left. That guy went after Gia, she started screaming, he took out his gun I took out mine, end of story."
"So it was just self-defense, right, Jason? You were protecting Gia?"
"Yeah but the police won't buy that," Jason said.
"Yeah I know you're right, and if you did, you and Gia would be more of a target than you guys already are," Sonny told Jason.
Jason got up out of his chair join Sonny.
"It won't take Roscoe long to figure out what happened, assuming he doesn't know already, and when he does-"
"He'll put a hit out on you and Gia," Sonny continued for Jason.
"I can take care of myself, but what about Gia? She is already in the public eye so it won't take them long at all to find out who she is."
"Well," Sonny said as he turned towards Jason, "we'd have to put guards on her around the clock."
"Yeah, Taggert would love that."
"Well she could stay with me Carly," Sonny started lifting off ideas.
"But Gia can't make a statement, saying what happened, it'll make Roscoe more upset."
"Oh, this is such a mess what are we going to do," Sonny said as he covered his face with his hands, "lets get Alexis in here see what she has to say."
After Sonny told Alexis what happened she gave him a pitiful look.
"You won't like what I have to say," Alexis said trying to prepare Jason and Sonny for her news. "The best way to mutiny Gia and stop the PCPD, and protect Gia and same time would be to pull and Sonny and Carly."
"You mean Jason and Gia get married," Sonny asked with raised eyebrows, and wide eyes, while Jason stared at the both of them with disbelief.
"You're serious?" Jason asked.
"Without Gia's statement all they have is circumstantial evidence. So they have to let you go and you just can't leave town. You'll need to talk to Gia, maybe she can play on her brother's sensitive side, if he has one, let her come back tomorrow, and by than you'll be married."
"Hey, couldn't help but overhear," Carly walked into the room, "it sounds like a great plan but how do you plan on getting Gia to agree on this."
"Well sweetie," Sonny said while smiling innocently at her, "we don't, but you do."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Carly started waving her hands, " I love Jason but Gia will kill me."
Sonny turned towards Carly and seriously said, "Carly there may already be men after Gia, we have to do this to so Jason can protect her and than her statement can't be used against him."
Carly let go of Sonny's hands and sat down.
"Omigod. You're serious. What if she says no?" Carly's voice was barely above a whisper now.
"We'll deal with that if we have to." Sonny sat on the table and held up her face so she was looking at him. "Will you talk to her?"
"Of course."
"Great," Alexis got up and started gathering papers, "I'm going to try and get us out of here."
Alexis walked back into the room with Gia.
"Okay I finally got the D.A. to let you guys go but Jason you-"
"Can't leave town I know, I know, I know."
OUTSIDE the PCPD
"Gia will you come to the penthouse we need to talk," Sonny more commanded it then asked, but Gia just nodded her head, she didn't feel like arguing, she was too tired.
SONNY'S PENTHOUSE
"Gia you witnessed a crime committed by very dangerous criminal," Sonny started as everyone sat down, "and he will do anything to keep you from talking, from going to the police and telling them what you saw."
"But I have to, the police are waiting for my statement, I can't leave town."
"Also," Carly started in, "your brother will try and twist your statement around every way he can to arrest Jason."
Gia wanted to defend her brother but she knew it was true.
"So what are you guys saying," Gia asked preparing herself for the worst.
"Well," Carly said sitting down next to Jason and holding her hands, "there is one way to help both situations, now it is a little extreme, but it is the ONLY way to save both you any Jason." Carly took a dramatic pause.
"Carly enough already just tell me how!"
"You and Jason have to get married."
Everyone stared at Gia and waited for her reaction.
"Don't you ever get tired of defending scum, Ms. Davis," Taggert asked impatiently.
"Well Taggert I'll take that as a yes. Now Sonny why don't you and Jason go on in and I'm going to try and find out what the charges they are pressing against you. Carly why don't you take Gia and help her clean up than I'll talk with you and help walk you through your statement."
