A/N: Please be gentle on your reviews...this is my first but don't
be too soft. If you like it say so if you hate it say so. Sonny and Carly
and Jason and Courtney are still together. There was never any Sam. Ric
and Elizabeth are married and pregnant, and Faith still wants him.
Ch. 3 A Great Idea
"COURTNEY!" Sonny couldn't believe what had just happened. One minute they were standing there, the next she was hugging him like there was no tomorrow and then she had taken off. "COURTNEY!" he called after her but either she didn't or wouldn't hear. She was already off the roof and he wanted nothing more than to follow her and make sure she got out alright.
"Sonny." Nikolas' voice stopped his thoughts, "Come on. We have to go."
Sonny stared down the younger man, hating him for even suggesting he leave his sister behind.
"She wanted to make sure you got out. To your family." Sonny knew he was right, he hated it but he had to get back to Carly. He silently nodded and allowed Nikolas to pull him onto the helicopter. As soon as he was seated his eyes darted straight towards Capelli and held them there.
The burned into the man who had caused this. Capelli looked up for a brief moment and saw Sonny's burning gaze. Too afraid to keep the stare he looked down, if looks could kill he would be a dead man.
'What kind of person does something like that?' Sonny was disgusted as he thought about it. 'If something happened to his sister he'll wish he died in that fire.' He thought--no, promised himself.
On the Ground
Ric was anxiously waiting, Elizabeth at his side, for the helicopter. It was carrying down the last of the people from the Versaille (spelling?) room. He was extremely nervous, he needed to make sure everything went smoothly.
He had told Capelli to make sure he got on the final helicopter. He needed him to state on record that Beck had pointed her out as the shooter. That she had tried to get away while in custody which ended in 'tradgedy'. It was the only way he could come up with to keep her away from him and Elizabeth. No one needed to know that Beck had never pointed her out as the shooter. Or that he had never regained conciousness at all.
A sigh of relief excaped him as his eyes caught hold of the helicopter decending.
"Jason. Jason there's the helicopter!" Carly shouted, she was so excited. Now everyone could finally go home and relax.
'I can't wait to be able to put this whole nightmare behind us. Forget this whole night. Yeah-that would be nice.' she thought happily to herself.
She watched, barely able to keep her excitement under control, as occupants of the helicopter came out one at a time. Though her excitement was replaced by confusion when she saw Capelli step out. She was sure he was the one who had taken Faith into custody. Her confusion grew as she noticed Sonny angril grab Capelli before he could get away and held him against the helicopter with his forearm across the mans throat.
'Something horrible must have happened.' Carly thought to herself.
Jason noticed this also and they both approached Sonny and the officer suspiciously. They reached them both just in time to hear a very one-sided argument.
"....IS WRONG WITH YOU? ARE YOU SICK? IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO-" Sonny couldn't finish his sentence as he was interrupted by Carly and Jason's presence.
"Sonny, what's going on?" Carly asked. This was not the time or place to be getting in trouble with the law. Finally a realization struck Carly in the stomach and she began to panic. This time her voice was raised and filled with fear, "Sonny? Where's Courtney?"
"Sonny?" Jason stared at his brother-in-law with desperation. Turning to look at Jason, Sonny released his hold on Capelli. The man immediately began to gasp for the air that he had been deprived of. Out of nowhere the ground gave a violent shake as a level of the hotel blew. He took this distraction to get away.
"Sonny? Where is she?" Jason spoke with panic in his voice. Sonny took a breath and began to tell them everything.
Hotel
The stairwell was quickly filling with smoke and the little air there was, was filled with an unholy heat. It hurt to breathe, plus the fact that she was already exhausted from her first trip through the hotel. Except the first time she had been trying to get in. Now she was doing everything she could to get out. But it didn't matter.
Whether she was going in, out, up or down she always had the same destination. Her loved ones. Her family. Jason.
"Well, this was a great idea." she spoke to herself. Taking the stairs two at a time until she came to a dead end. The stairway was blocked with pieces of the cieling that had caved in. There was no way around the mess of the hotel.
'Ok, ok...keep calm. There's got to be another floor entrance somewhere.' Courtney was thinking not talking to herself. She didn't know how much oxygen was in there but she wasn't planning on waisting an ounce of it.
After taking a few stairs back up she a door to another level. Remember what she had learned, she felt the door. Didn't feel too hot so she took a chance and opened it.
"Oh my God." Courtney was totally shocked by what she had found on the other side of the door.
