Chapter Five

"YOU BASTARD! WHERE IN THE FUCK IS MY DAUGHTER!" Lorenzo shouted into the phone. He felt himself become stronger. His anger giving him energy. He had to fight and he would. He would fight, even if it killed him. His daughter would be back, in his arms. Safe and sound.

"Alcazar control yourself, don't worry, she's fine. Well for right now anyway, all I want is Carly back." Lorenzo smirked to himself. So that was what this was all about. He wanted Carly back so he decided to take Courtney as leverage. Well it wasn't going to work. He wouldn't kill her as long as he needed her. He would not give in to Sonny's demands, he would send his people to go look for her and when he found her, he would still have Carly.

"No, you will not get your wife back," he said trying to keep him voice calm He was the rational one in this game of minds. He could tell Sonny was not himself, he was going to that edge and he was damn near falling off.

"FINE IF I DO NOT HAVE CARLY BACK IN 4 WEEKS, YOUR DAUGHTER WILL BE SENT BACK TO YOU IN A BODY BAG!!!" Sonny shouted in to the phone. Alcazar felt himself weakening, he sounded like he meant it, he wanted to scream and give into his demands, just don't hurt Courtney, but he couldn't, not yet. Not yet.

"Corinthos, you bluffing. You need her, I will call you back when I am ready to make deal," he hung up. Oh god, he hope he didn't just sign his own daughter death certificate. He just hope he didn't just get his daughter killed. He dropped to the chair and put his head in his hands. How was he going to get through this?

He watched her eyes become hard, and for some reason, he felt hurt that she was closing up on him. It was to be expected, he did kidnap her but it still hurt. "Courtney I am sorry and I promise you I will not let anyone hurt you," he told her. He wanted he to believe him so bad, wanted her to trust him.

"Oh so you're the only one who can hurt me," oh was she wrong, so wrong. 'Baby you have no idea, it would hurt me more then you if I hurt you,' he thought to himself. Right now he felt like dying, her looking at him with those eyes, she might be trying to cover up her hurt but he could tell. She was hurting and he was the cause of it. He had never hated himself more then right now.

~*~

She looked at him, and saw the hurt flash in his eyes. Why was he hurting, she was the one who was being held hostage? He had no reason to be hurting. She felt her stomach growl, he must have heard it too, because his mouth curved into a small smile.

"Are you hungry," he asked like he might of like a small child. That irked her for some reason. She didn't want him to see her as a child. She wanted him to see her as a woman.

"Yes I am hungry do you have a fucking problem with that," she asked him. She was going to be rude and crude. She would show him that she was no child. No child would talk like that, most children would be crying right now.

"Fine, I will bring your dinner, I'll be right back," he said as he turned and walk to the door, then she picked up one of the pillows and did one of the most childish things she could, threw it at him. When he turned, she stuck her tongue at him. All he did was smile at her and pick the pillow up.

"So you like to throw pillows at people huh?" he asked with amusement in his voice. Did this jerk find everything funny? He was supposed to be mad. She could deal with mad, but she could not deal with him smiling at her.

"What if I do?" she asked, and the next thing she knew she felt the pillow hit her chest.

Then Courtney remember this, I love a god pillow fight too," he said and turned back around and left the room the smile never leaving his face. Courtney, sighed and fell back on the bed and put the pillow over her face and screamed. "Damn that sexy ass man," she muttered.

~*~

Sonny sat on the couch, so Lorenzo didn't believe him, well he would show him. He got up and went to the door. Maybe he would have to send him so pictures of his daughter, not in the best shape. That would teach Alcazar not to mess with Sonny Corinthos, or his family. He opened the door and walked over to the penthouse she was staying in.

~*~

Jason walked into the kitchen, he could not help but smile. She was so gorgeous and funny. She thought throwing a pillow at him would piss him off, that was funny. She looked so pissed when all he did was smile at her. He had other plans with pillows that he would like to try out with her and the one that he been thinking of all day was the one where he hair was spread out on a pillow. He wanted to have her so bad. She was everything in a woman that he had been looking for. Something like Carly, but still different, the only bad part that this was his hostage, she would never see him as anything but the monster that kidnapped her and locked her in a panic room. He felt his smile disappear and frown replace it, he wanted to be something else in her eyes but her would always be a monster.

A/N: Okay I am make Sonny a little bad in this story, I'm sorry to all the fans (which I am one of,) but for this story to work the way I want to he has to be a bit evil. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and there will be a lot more Journey interaction soon. Love always Ashley.
