Chapter 9

Right after the plane exploded, paramedics and a fire truck rushed onto the scene.

Fireman: First we need to put out the fire and then look for survivors if there are any. Hurry! Go!

After the fire was put out, firefighters started searching through the rubble.

Underneath a pile of debris Courtney lay there. She started to stir.

Courtney: Jason? Jason where are you!?

A firefighter heard Courtney call out and removed the debris off of her.

Firefighter: I found a woman. We need the medic here right now!

A paramedic came running over with an ambulance following closely behind.

Medic: We need to get her to the hospital. There could be internal bleeding.

Courtney: No! My husb- I mean boyfriend is somewhere in this mess. You have to find him. I'm not going anywhere until you do.

Medic: Alright but you all need to hurry up and find him. Meanwhile, ma'am, I need you to come over here and we're going to check you out.

Courtney: Ok.

After about ten minutes of searching a firefighter saw something near what would have been the wing.

Firefighter: I see something! I need some help moving this stuff off of him!

A few firemen came running over and helped him lift the wing off of Jason.

Firefighter: Oh my god! We need a medic here right now! He's bleeding really badly from his side. It looks like he's got something in his side. Get over here!

Jason: Ughhhhhhhh. Where's Courtney?

Medic: Sir I need you to calm down. We have to get you stabilized. Courtney is fine. Please don't talk just stay still so we can get you to the hospital.

Over at the ambulance, the medic got a page on his two way radio.

Firefighter: We found him. He's not going well. We need to get him to the hospital immediately.

Medic: I'll be right there.

Courtney: Was that about Jason? Is he ok?

The medic didn't say anything.

Courtney: What's wrong!? Is he ok?

Medic: He's not doing well. He has to be airlifted to GH immediately.

Courtney: I'm going with you.

Medic: Of course you are. You have to go to the hospital as well.

He got into the ambulance and Courtney climbed into the back with another paramedic. They were driving directly to the area where Jason was so they could try and stabilize him before the helicopter go there. Suddenly Courtney cried out in pain and collapsed.

Ric: I have some bad news Kate.

Kate: What? Did it not work? What happened? Tell me!

Ric: Well apparently, Jason decided last minute to go with Courtney and he was on the plane when it exploded. I'm sorry.

Kate: No!!! This can't be happening. Is he ok? Is he still alive?

Ric: He and Courtney are at the hospital.

Kate: She survived?!!! How did she survive?

Ric: The assassin made the mistake of putting the bomb in the cock pit so Jason and Courtney were just blown backwards and buried under a pile of debris. Courtney is alright but still has some serious injured but Jason is in critical condition.

Kate: That's it! I'm going to the hospital.

GH

Carly and Sonny were waiting in the lobby when Monica came out.

Carly: How are they?

Monica: Well Courtney has a few broken bones, a concussion, a lot of cuts and some smoke inhalation but nothing really serious.

Sonny: What about Jason?

Monica: He had a big piece of glass in his side so they are removing that in surgery right now. It cut a lot of his major organs. He also has a broken arm. We're still waiting to see how the surgery goes but we better prepare ourselves for the worst. Even if he makes it through the surgery, he might not make it through the night.

Carly: Can we see Courtney:

Monica: No, not yet. I'll be back in a few minutes with some more information on Jason.

Sonny: Thanks.

Sonny sat back down and Carly curled up next to him and started crying.

Carly: Why did this have to happen to them?

Sonny: I don't know, but I'm going to find out who is responsible for this. They will pay for this.

Just as Sonny said that, the elevator opened and out stepped Kate. Carly looked over and saw her. Kate saw Carly and ran over to her.

Kate: Carly, oh my god is Jason ok? Can I see him?

Carly stood up infuriated.

Carly: No! You aren't going anywhere near Jason! You don't belong here. Get out. If you even come near Jason or Courtney I will hunt you down.

Kate: Fine, I'll go. Don't be such a bitch.

Carly: Why you little piece of s—

Sonny: Carly, don't do this. Just let her go.

Carly: Fine, but remember what I said.

When Carly and Sonny had turned around, Kate went over to the main desk.

Hospital volunteer: May I help you?

Kate: Yes, what room is Courtney Morgan in?

HV: I'm sorry she's now allowed visitors right now.

Kate pulled a wad of cash out of her pocket and handed it to the woman.

Kate: Now which room is Ms. Morgan in?

HV: Let me see. Ms. Morgan is in room 211.

Kate: thank you.

Kate turned around and walked towards Courtney's room.
