Ch. 4 This is Bad

"So she took off? Into the hotel? The hotel that is now burning to the ground!" Jason could barely comprehend anything that Sonny had just told them. Now Jason understood his rage towards Capelli. Because what he was now feeling was ten times worse. He was going to kill him. And it was going to hurt. " I'm going in after her."

Before he could get away Carly latched on to his arm. The look on her face reflected everything he felt happening on the inside.

"Jason...." her eyes full of pain and fear for her best friend. More than a friend. Courtney was like a sister to Carly, and now she was in that burning deathtrap somewhere.

"Carly, I have to. I can't leave her alone in there. I won't be able to live with myself if I don't at least try."

With that said, she let go of his arm and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Be careful." she locked eyes with him , using all her energy to keep from crying.

He nodded in agreement and took off towards the building. He knew she would be alright...if she wasn't he would feel it right? He hoped she was alright. His world depended on it.

After scanning the crowd of specatators, Capelli had finally found him.

"Lansing!"

Ric turned at the sound of his name. When he realized who it was he turned back to Elizabeth.

"I'll be right back." he placed a kiss on her forehead and headed over towards the detective. Once sure they were out of her hearing, he began to speak with him. "Did you take care of it?"

"She got in a few good hits when she realized what I was actually doing. But she's in there."

"Alive?"

"Well, yes. I panicked, it's getting really bad in there. But don't worry I gave her a nice hit over the head, she was out when i left. Either way, Faith Roscoe won't be coming out of that hotel."

This was good news. Now he and Elizabeth could be left in peace to raise their baby.

"Anyone suspicous?"

"Corinthos may be a problem. One person had to stay behind when I showed up and took a seat on the chopper."

A smile spread across Ric's face. This couldn't have been more perfect if he had planned it this way.

"So, we get Faith and my brother in one shot? This is great. Why would this be a problem?"

"I didn't say that Corinthos stayed behind." Ric noticed that Capelli was avoiding his gaze.

"Then who was it?"

Capelli hesitated to answer, and this only pissed Ric off more. Whoever it was that stayed behind was an obvious tie to Sonny. Ric couldn't remember who was still up there, but he didn't have to, he knew the news would be bad and that Sonny would want to get to the bottom of it. And Capelli still hadn't answered him.

"DETECTIVE!" Ric's voice was becoming louder and angrier. " Who.Was. It?"

"Corinthos' sister."

"DAMN IT!" Ric knew no matter how tonight ended it would not be good for him. "How the hell did that happen? Why would he let her do something like that?"

"He didn't. When it became clear that someone whould have to stay, she didn't give him a chance. She just took off and didn't give him a choice." Capelli explained.

"Oh God...This is bad! You know how bad this is, don't you?" Before Ric could continue anymore, a voice from behind him caught him off guard.

"What's bad Ric?"
