Imports and Exports

"What's over?" Jason asked from the doorway.

Carly melted when she seen him from across the room. He walked over to where she was, he pulled her to him and held her tightly against him, "I missed you and the kids so much."

She kissed him tenderly on the lips, "We've missed you too."

He continued to hold her close, taking intoxicating breaths of her perfume, he had been dreaming of this, dreaming of holding her in his arms.

"Would you like anything to eat?" Carly asked him.

He laughed, "The only thing you ever think about is food. But, I am rather hungry."

"I'll go have cook prepare you something." Carly said leaving the room, "I'll be right back."

Jason walked over to Skye, he gently wrapped his arms around her, "I'm sorry, John and I did everything we could, we just couldn't get Sonny released on bail. If they find out that I came here then I'll be back in prison."

Skye held on to him, she buried her face in his shoulder, "It's okay, I'll see him shortly. This whole mess will be over with soon." She answered, stepping out of their embrace.

"What were you talking about earlier when I walked in?" Jason asked.

"Earlier? Umm, just a business deal." Skye told him, "I was having a little problem with an investor, but everything's under control now."

"Who's the investor."

"Jasper Jacks."

"Jax?" He questioned, "What did he do to you?"

"Nothing, he just offered me business and pleasure combined."

"Do you want me to talk to him?" Jason offered.

"No, I can handle him." She assured him, "Besides, he's dating Aunt Tracy."

Jason just looked at her, "That's...yeah." He finally said.

Skye laughed, "Tell me about it."

"So are you going to tell me what the hell happened here?" He asked referring to the broken crystal.

"I just, I lost my temper, it's no big deal." Skye told him, "I'm going to find Reginald to clean it up." She said, leaving the room.

"Skye."

"Yeah?" She asked turning around."

"Sonny's going to be okay."

She gave a slight nod and then walked out the doors.

Carly walked back into the living room, "Cook is making your favorite dish." She sat down beside him, "I'm so happy you're here, I was going insane without you."

Jason smiled, wrapping his arm around Carly, pulling her closer to him, "I'm here now, so tell me, what can I do to make you even happier?"

"Kiss me."

He leaned forward and kissed her lips tenderly, over and over again before pushing his tongue past her lips, exploring her mouth with his. Jason's hands cupped her face, kissing her with all the passion he had pent up inside of him. They pulled away breathless.

"I love you." She whispered.

"I love you." He whispered back, "When were you planning on leaving?"

"Sometime tomorrow." Carly told him, "I can't wait to get home."

"I can't wait to get you home." Jason added, "All alone."

Skye was packing her things in her bedroom, she wanted to get out of Port Charles before Faith was released from the hospital and decided to come after her. There was a soft knock at the door and then it opened, "Mommy, mommy, I had a bad dream."

She put down the clothing she held in her hands and walked over, scooping Zach up off the floor, she carried him over to the chair and took a seat., "What was your dream about?"

"Daddy going away." He said softly, "And never coming back."

"Daddy's coming home, very soon." She told him, "We're all going to be together for Christmas."

"You promise?"

"Yes, sweetheart, I promise." Skye whispered to her son.

"But what if he doesn't?"

"Mommy always keeps her promises doesn't she?"

"Yes." He answered. "Always."

"Alright then." Skye said standing up, with her son in her arms, "I'm going to take you back to your room and tuck you in."

"Okay." Zach agreed, rubbing his eyes.

Skye carried him to his bedroom and gently laid him down in the bed beside, Max. She pulled the blankets up over him and kissed his cheek, "Goodnight."

Zach's eyes closed, "I love you Mommy."

"I love you too." Skye answered walking towards the door. She walked back into her room and resumed packing.

She decided she couldn't do this, she couldn't leave Port Charles without her children, she need someone to help her out. Faith not dying when she fired that gun was the biggest mistake of her entire life.

There was a knock on her door once again, "Skye, can I come in?"

She walked towards the door, pulling it open, "Of course, Mom."

Monica walked in and sat down on her daughter's bed, "Are you leaving tonight?"

"Yeah." Skye answered, "I have some business to take care of."

"Oh, are you leaving the children here with your Father and I?"

"Um..." She started, "That all depends."

"On what?"

"On the information you can give me."

Monica nodded, not fully understanding her daughter's request, "What sort of information?"

"Faith Roscoe is in the hospital, did you treat her?"

"No, not when she came in the emergency room, but I did assist in removing the bullet from her abdomen." Monica explained, "Why?"

"I need to know how long it'll be before she's released from General Hospital."

"About a week." Monica told her.

"A week?" Skye asked, "That's enough time." She said aloud, making a mental note.

"Enough time for what?"

She continued to pack, "Oh, nothing it's just business."

"Skye, you're not getting involved in Sonny's business are you?"

"No, it's just that I have a shipment coming in and I want to know that she'll be incapacitated so I can rest assure that it won't be tampered with."

"Well, Faith's not going anywhere for a while." Monica said with a smile.

The jet had just landed, Skye waited impatiently as the door opened and she was allowed to exit. Johnny was waiting with the limo, she practically ran over to him, "I have no luggage." She told him, "I just need to get to the Villa, quick!"

He shut the door and ran around to the drivers side, the car took off in a seconds time. Five minutes later Skye arrived at home, "Johnny, I want you to go to my boutique and get Rosa to give you the fabric and dresses that are suppose to go to Port Charles and take them to the bay. There will be a ship marked Jacks, make sure they're loaded properly."

"Yes Ma'am."

Skye unlocked the front door and flung it open, she threw her purse and coat down on the settee and headed straight for the wine cellar. She took the key out of her hiding place and unlocked the freezer, the smell of fish almost knocked her over.

"Think Skye, think." She repeated to herself over and over. Then it hit her. Coffee beans. No. She needed something better, something that wasn't too obvious.

"Mannequins." She spoke aloud.

She grabbed a pair of gloves and pulled some fish out of the freezer and began slicing the stomachs open. She removed the contents and placed them into a pile until all the fish were drugless. Throwing the bags into a black bag she headed up into the kitchen, down into the hallway and up the back staircase and into her drawing room.

The bag hit the floor as she closed the door behind her, locking it. She went over to the window and drew the blinds. Ever so carefully she popped the head off one of her mannequins. "Dammit." She swore. The insides were solid. She turned the head over in her hand, it was hollow.

The cocaine was stuffed in the heads of four mannequins and then Skye dressed them with some of her newest designs, making sure their necks were covers with some sort of scarf or wrap so it wouldn't be seen where the heads had been removed.

Skye quickly showered and changed, she had to visit Sonny before he figured out she was up to something.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was early in Port Charles, Carly rolled over to find a warm body next to hers. She hesitated before opening her eyes, she was afraid that if she did, Jason wouldn't be there and that last night when he came through the living room doors was all a dream. Something she made up in her head to get through another day without him.

She forced her eyes open and focused them on the person beside her, she smiled and shut her eyes, realizing that it was all a dream, the person laying beside her was her son, Michael. It was all a dream she told herself, but a good dream.

A strong hand turned firmly gripped her shoulder and she was pulled out of her trance, she tried to focus her eyes on the person in front of her, but the sunlight coming through the curtains was too much. "Carly, wake up."

Her eyes continued to flutter and she used her hand to block the sunlight, "It's so bright." She mumbled, "Alan, I had a dream that Jason was here, that he came home last night."

"Carly." He called, shaking her lightly, "Carly, I need you to wake up."

"I'm awake, I'm awake." She repeated softly.

"No, you're not, I need you to open your eyes for me."

"I can't, if I open my eyes my dream will be lost." Carly told him, "I'll lose Jason."

"You're not going to lose anybody." He whispered, "I promise, just open your eyes for me."

Carly adjusted her eyes to the light and then looked at the man that stood before her, "Jason?" She asked, "Jason, it's really you."

"Yes." He breathed out, "Where were you? You weren't responding to anything I was saying."

She sat up in the bed, letting the headboard support her body. "I was lost in my dream and I thought that if I opened my eyes that it would all go away, that I would lose the one little piece of you that I had envisioned."

"I'm never going to let that happen, Carly, I promise." He sat down beside her, taking her hand in his, "After the trial Sonny and I are going to go free and things are going to be different."

Carly smiled, "I know."

"Things can't get back to normal though, unless you tell me what you and my sister have been up to."

She grew nervous, "What do you mean, what Skye and I have been up to?"

Jason's glare feel heavy upon hers, "I know what's been going on Carly, did you expect me not to find out?".

Carly just looked at him, he knew something. Maybe he heard the conversation last night in the living room that she and Skye were having. He knew and now it truly was over.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Skye walked into the Police Station, her heels made the loudest racket as she entered interrogation room, causing everyone to stand and take notice. She was seated in the cold, metal chair. It made her blood run cold, it was like she could feel her veins filling with ice, she became frozen, almost as much as she was the night she shot Faith.

She wore white, all white, the pure, virgin color that allowed no room for error or unmistakable faults. She waited patiently for him to be brought in from the cell. Her eyes were glued to the wall in front of her, eying her reflection in the mirror.

Finally the door open behind her, she heard the officer mumble some words to him before the door shut behind him, the ruffling of the cuffs on his wrists filled the room as he walked around the table and sat down in front of her. He smiled his brightest smile, seeing her beautiful face.

"I never thought you'd come." His voice was low and deep.

"Well..." She started, "I couldn't leave without seeing you."

"That's what I was counting on." He told her, "I thought you and I could have some alone time to discuss some things."

She smiled, "Just as long as you know that I don't have all day."

His cuffed hands reached across the table and covered hers, "Neither do I, Skye. Neither do I." He repeated.

"Let's just get straight to the point." She told him, "Things will go much smoother that way and besides, I have to see Sonny before I leave, Luis."
