Broken Glass
"What?" Skye asked outraged.
"Faith's not dead." Carly whispered.
"How do you know that?"
"Because, there's been no mention of it all morning." Carly explained, "Her body would have been found by now."
Skye took a deep breathe, "Maybe not. There's still time."
"Skye, don't you think someone would notice a dead body laying on the pier?" Carly asked, "Have you completely lost your mind?"
Skye became silent, she began to add things up in her head, her eyes searched the hotel lobby, her heart began to race, she screamed out, sharply, causing everyone to turn in her direction.
"Everything's alright." Carly announced, after a few seconds everyone went back to what they were doing. She was confused by Skye's actions, she grabbed her by the shoulders, shaking her lightly, "What's wrong, what happened?"
Alan came running over to them after he realized it was Skye, "Carly, what happened? He took Skye's hands, "Skye, are you alright?"
Skye shut her eyes and took a few deep breaths, "Spider." She gasped.
Alan just looked at her, "What?"
She finally found her voice, "A spider, I seen a spider." She told him, "Everything's fine now."
"Are you sure?" Her father asked her.
She put on a small smile, "Yes. Carly and I are going to head back to the Mansion and start packing."
Alan nodded, "I'll see you there in a bit."
Skye and Carly made a dash for the hotel doors and into the limo. The entire ride home was silent. When they got inside, they went into the living room, shutting the doors behind them.
Carly figured the coast was clear, "Do you want to tell me what the hell happened back there?" She asked, "Because I know that as sure as I'm standing here that you didn't see a spider."
Skye's voice was frantic, "I may have killed Faith Roscoe." She answered, near tears, "I may have committed murder last night."
"Oh my God, Skye, you're just figuring that out now? You're just now adding things up?" Carly asked outraged, "Didn't any of this occur to you last night right after it happened? You seemed to be so cool and collect, I thought you had everything under control."
"I thought I did." Skye confessed, "I guess I was wrong. I wasn't letting myself think about it, I was trying to focus on the show today and on making that deal with Jax. I pushed it as far out of my mind as I possibly could."
Carly shook her head in disbelief, "You didn't feel any remorse last night?" she asked loudly.
"No, it seemed so surreal, like it was all a dream." Skye told her, "And why are you yelling?"
"I don't know Skye." She answered sarcastically, "Maybe it's because my sister in law may have killed someone. Or maybe it's because it took her almost twenty four hours to comprehend exactly what she did. Talk about a delayed reaction."
"So it took a while for it to sink in, this isn't something I do everyday." Skye admitted, "Didn't you feel anything strange after I told you?"
"Yes, remember I said that you were taking things too far, that we were getting in too deep." Carly yelled, "Besides, I didn't think we were suppose to feel in this business. We're just suppose to do and not think about the consequences."
"That's right Carly, we're not suppose to feel anything." Skye shouted, "I don't understand how Jason and Sonny do this day in and day out."
"Maybe it's because we're women."
Skye turned to the bar, "That doesn't explain Faith's involvement though."
"It's because we're not filled with the bitterness and hate and revenge." Carly told her, "This doesn't make any sense, this isn't who we are. We're business women, someone's wife, someone's mother, someone's daughter, we're suppose to be the one's keeping things together, not ripping them further apart."
She fixed herself a drink, vodka, straight up, "This was suppose to fix things. Our involvement was suppose to set everything straight and now I've turned into one of them."
Carly watched as Skye swirled her fingertips around the top of the glass, she seemed nervous, "What are you talking about?"
Tears began to fall down Skye's cheeks, "Last Night, when I was standing on the docks, with the gun in my hand, pointed at Faith...." She brought her hand up to wipe her face, "I...I didn't feel anything, but hate. I've never felt hate like that before. Not even when Luis and I divorced and it scared me beyond belief."
Carly was silent, Skye's breathing became increased as a wave of emotion swept threw her. Her right arm swept across the bar, clearing it of it's crystal, it hit the floor with a loud bang, shattering into millions of pieces. She stood with her hands resting on top of the bar, her back was to Carly.
"Wow, you must have learned that from Sonny." Carly said flatly.
Skye slowly turned around, "Don't you see what's happening to me?" Skye screamed, "I'm turning into the people I hate most. I'm a hypocrite. A liar. A lady mobster. I opened the door, just a little crack and hate, greed and envy flooded me." She cried, "I have no where to turn, not now. And if Faith is alive, then everything we've worked for has went down the drain."
"You're forgetting something."
"What's that?" Skye asked.
"If Faith isn't dead, she's going to come after you." Carly told her, "She's gonna come after all of us, no one is safe from the Black Widow.
"How could I have screwed up so badly? Skye asked herself aloud, "One mistake can cost us everything. Stealing that cocaine from Caprice was like taking candy from a child, this is much bigger than we could have ever imagined."
The doorbell rang in the distance and their conversation halted when the living room doors opened and Reginald entered, "Mrs. Corinthos, there's someone here to see you." He stepped out of the way to reveal Lorenzo Alcazar.
Reginald shut the doors on his way out as Lorenzo made his way across the room. He took Skye's hand and brought it up to his lips, placing a kiss on top, "Skye, it's always a pleasure."
"Indeed it is." She answered with a smile, "Lorenzo Alcazar, this is my sister in law, Caroline Morgan." As she turned, her heels crushed the broken crystal even more.
Lorenzo smiled, "It's my pleasure to meet you."
Carly smiled back, "Nice to meet you."
"So what happened here?" He asked, referring to the shattered crystal.
"I just had a little lash out. My temper got the best of me." She explained. "So, Lorenzo, what do I owe the honor?" She asked, changing the subject.
"I was in the neighborhood and I thought I'd stop in. I heard that you were here, the publicity for your Empire is phenomenal. You must be very proud of your accomplishments."
Skye nodded, "I am."
"I don't know if you're heard, but Luis was supposedly killed in a warehouse in Florida." He said softly.
Skye looked at the ground, "I heard, I'm sorry Lorenzo."
"Thank you." He gave her a heartfelt smile, "There's a reason I'm here tonight. I have a problem."
"A problem?" Skye asked, "What kind of problem?"
"I know that you and Luis parted on bad terms." Lorenzo started, "But this is important. It's about Sage. She ran away from boarding school and I've haven't been able to track her down as of late."
She grew concerned about the child she once considered her own, "How long has she been missing?"
"Two days." He told her, "I've checked everywhere I could possibly think of, but I've had no luck."
"Lorenzo, I'll do anything to help you locate her, just tell me what I can do to help."
"When's the last time you talked with her?" He asked.
Skye thought back to their last conversation, "A few weeks ago, she said that school was going good and that she was a little homesick."
He began to add things up, "Skye, you really don't think that she would have went home do you?"
"To Venezuela?" Skye asked, "I doubt it."
"I'm going to check anyway." Lorenzo told her, "Sage is a big target right now."
Skye didn't completely understand, "What do you mean she's a big target?"
"You didn't hear?" He asked.
Carly looked over at him, "Hear what?"
"Someone tried to kill Faith Roscoe last night on the pier." He answered, "No one is safe, not now."
"Who's Faith Roscoe?" Carly asked, pretending not to know.
"She sort of runs things here in Port Charles, she took up where Sonny left off." Lorenzo explained, "The woman is insane."
"Good to know." Skye said softly, "You said someone tried to kill her?"
"Yes, she was shot twice, once in the left shoulder and once in the abdomen." Lorenzo explained, "I'm sorry I have to rush off, business calls. Have a good evening ladies."
"Evening" They said in unison.
Lorenzo left, leaving them alone.
Carly looked over at Skye, "Faith's not dead."
"She's going to serve my head to Sonny on a silver plater." Skye remarked, "We've lost, I blew it."
"We just need to be ready to retaliate." Carly said trying to reassure her.
"I made Faith an enemy. She was our alliance and I ruined it. Now I have to pay the price." Skye looked up at Carly, "It's over."
"What's over?" Jason asked from the doorway.
