Ch. 5 We Do Nothing
"What the hell?" It was all she could say. Of all the things Courtney was expecting to find behind the door, Faith Roscoe picking herself off the floor was not one of them.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't my favorite little bunny rabbit." Faith spoke as she rose from the spot where she had come to.
'Damn Capelli.' Faith thought angrily, putting a hand to the spot on her head where she had been hit. Then she returned her attention to her new company.
"Surprised to see you here. Would have thought that your beloved white knight would risk life and limb to get you out of here. So what happened? Chopper stop making trips and everyone made a mad dash through the hotel? Everyman or in this case woman for themselves?"
Courtney didn't have time for this. Even if she had all the time in the world, she just simply despised Faith. And her patience was disappearing with every word out of her mouth.
"THERE IS NO ONE ELSE FAITH!" Courtney shouted at her to shut her up. "The chopper made its last trip. There wasn't enough room for everyone." She paused as a look of surprise and, maybe even....yes, fear came over her face. "The helicopter is not coming back. No one is. We're the last ones in the building."
Faith stood there in shock, the announcement had definetley caught her off guard. She was definetely afraid.
"Ok, so what do we do?" the fear in her voice was obvious.
"We do nothing. I'm finding a way out of here. If you want to come, fine. But keep your mouth shut." With that said, Courtney started to search the floor find the other stairway, leaving Faith to make her decision.
Faith grunted in frustration, she didn't like to admit it, but Courtney was good at surviving things like this. So she began to follow her when a metal object caught her attention.
'Looks like good old detective Capelli forgot something when he ran out,tail between his legs.' Faith thought happily to herself. 'Maybe this night could have an upside.' Faith quickly put away the gun and then ran after Courtney.
"Wait up!"
Jason was frantically searching. He hadn't found her yet but he was still on the ground floor, he hadn't found the stairs yet. He was determined to find her.
'Why hadn't she just taken his turn when he offered it too her? Why hadn't he pushed more?' Jason had circled back around to the stage of blaming himself. Not that he ever really left it, he was her husband he was supposed to protect her. He had to believe she was ok.
"Hang on Courtney. I'm coming."

" I said, 'What's so bad,' Ric. What going on?" Ric turned to face his wife.
"Umm...there wasn't enough room on the helicopter for everyone. Someone had to stay behind."
"Oh my god. Who?" she began to panic. "I haven't seen Nikolas or Emily...but she was hurt. I haven't been over to the ambulance, they probably took her to the hospital already..." her words were coming out as fast as possible, when Ric interrupted her.
"Nikolas and Emily are fine. It was Courtney."
"Oh God." Elizabeth had never really been a big fan of hers but she wouldn't wish something like this on anyone.
Sonny and Carly were staring in horror at the building that now contained two of the most important people in their lives.
"It's been too long. Sonny what if something happend? What if they're hurt, or -" she couldn't even finish the thought before breaking into sobs. She didn't hold back anymore, she let them come freely as she fell apart into her husbands arms.
He stroked her hair, and gently kissed her forehead, trying to comfort her as best he could. Though he was doing all he could to keep himself from losing it too. It didn't matter if he kept it together or not because right now there was nothing either of them could do. Except watch and wait for everything to unfold.
Hotel
"Slow down!" one blonde shouted after the other.
"I'm not going to slow down Faith. We're in a burning building or have you forgotten?" it hadn't taken them anytime to find the stairway. They were going at a decent pace and just might make it out alive if Faith would just shut up and move.
"God, just let me catch my breath would you?"
At this point Courtney was so frustrated she turned around and went up the steps between them so that she was face to face with Faith.
"You wouldn't need to catch your breath if you would just shut your mouth and -" before the next word came out of her mouth a loud rumble caught her attention. "MOVE!" she shouted shoving Faith back as a large section of the cieling came crashing down from above them.
"What the hell?" It was all she could say. Of all the things Courtney was expecting to find behind the door, Faith Roscoe picking herself off the floor was not one of them.
