"Come on Gia," Carly begged as Gia bent down to the bookcase. When she finally pushed the button, she didn't stick by the monitor to see her reaction, she went to the door. When it opened, she gasped in relief. "Gia!" Tears of happiness started rolling down her cheeks. "Thank god!" She tried to move closer but the cord that attached her ankle to the wall prevented her from doing so.
"Oh my god," Gia muttered in amazement. "What...what happened?" Dumb question, it was pretty obvious what happened. "Who did this to you?" She asked, rephrasing her question. She prayed to god that Elizabeth hadn't known about this. How could she even think that, of course Elizabeth couldn't know about this, she wouldn't keep Carly locked up here, especially while she was pregnant. It had to be Ric, he had motive. That stupid vendetta with Sonny.
"Ric," Carly replied meekly, confirming Gia's thoughts.
"Are you okay?" Another dumb question, of course she wasn't okay.
"I'm not hurt but Gia, you have to get me out of here."
Gia nodded. "I'm going to look for a knife or something to cut the cord with."
She ran into the kitchen and found a large steak knife, she came back into the kitchen but heard a car pulling into the driveway. She ran to the window and looked out.
"It's Ric." She whispered, her eyes growing wide with fear.
"Hurry!" Carly urged.
She looked around frantically, finally tossing the knife under the couch. "I have to close the door."
"What? Are you crazy?" Carly screeched.
"We can't let Ric know I'm here, I'll go hide upstairs and I'll call Sonny. Don't worry, I'll get you out of here." She promised as she ran back over to the bookcase and pressed the button, shutting the door.
As the door closed in her face, Carly felt her heart breaking. "Don't worry," She said, placing her hand on her stomach. "We'll be fine. We just have to wait for Gia to call Daddy." She knew that what Gia had done was the only option, god only knew what Ric would do if her found her there but she didn't want to be locked away again. Even if it was only for a short time. The door opened and even though she knew it wasn't possible, she hoped it was Gia.
"Is everything okay in here?" Ric asked, not entering the room, just looking in.
"Peachy keen." Carly muttered as she sat down on the edge of the cot.
"There's no need for that sarcasm."
"Oh I'm sorry, you're right though. I should be a ray of sunshine seeing as how I've been kidnapped by a maniac and chained up like an animal!" She screamed.
"Goodbye Carly." Ric said with a hint of anger in his voice as he pressed the button on the remote.
