Ch 7 A Deer in the Headlights
"RIC!" Jason shouted as the trio came upon him. Carly had been next to Jason when he pointed out how all the pieces trace back to Ric. She couldn't believe that anyone could be that sick.
'But this is the guy who kept me chained to a wall while I was pregnant. Nothing should surprise me when it comes to Ric.' She thought angrily as she looked him dead in the face.
In an instant she knew that their suspicions were right. As soon as he saw them, his face became similar to a deer in the headlights.
"Jason. Sonny. Carly. What can I do for you?" he was trying to regain his cool and cover the panic that she knew he was feeling.
"You know what you can do. Tell us what you had to do with this situation!" Sonny shouted at his younger brother.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Capelli is the one who disobeyed orders and came back to the roof." Carly noticed how Ric relaxed once he shifted the blame onto someone else. "If you want someone to blame for all of this it should be him."
"THE HELL IT SHOULD BE!" Capelli's angry voice caught Ric off guard and that look spread over his face again. He was caught.
"Let's hear you're story." Carly demanded from him.
"Lansing here wanted me to make sure that Faith died in the fire. So he could get rid of her but his hands would be clean and he could put the blame on the fire. Told me to make sure I got out by any means necessary, to testify that she put up a fight and ran off into the fire."
"Is this true?" a small voice that nobody expected arose out of nowhere.
"Elizabeth, I did it for us. So she would leave us alone." he tried to explain himself but his wife would have no part of it.
"Save it Ric. You never change. Don't come near me or my child again!" with that she stormed off.
Ric began to go after her when Jason stepped in front of him, blocking his escape route. He looked at the man with an anger that he was doing everything to control. And Ric began to get nervous. He was in serious trouble this time.
"HOW THE HELL WAS I TO KNOW COURTNEY WOULD STAY? YOU WOULD THINK THAT FOR A MAN WHO PREACHES ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT FAMILY IS TO HIM THAT YOU WOULD HAVE STOPPED HER. WHAT THE HELL KIND OF A BIG BROTHER ARE YOU? OR DO YOU JUST NOT CARE AS MUCH AS YOU SAY YOU DO!" the second the words were past his lips he knew he would regret it.
He was proven right as he saw Sonny fist come at him a split second before it nailed him in the jaw and sent him falling to the ground. Sonny now stood leaning over him and pointed a threatening finger at him.
"You better pray for you life that she's ok! And, you," he said turning to Capelli. "don't think i've forgotten about you either!" Sonny said nothing more and turned his focus back on the building.

"What the hell are you doing?" Courtney asked, never letting her eyes leave the gun.
"Did you really think that I could pass up an opportunity to kill you and have it all be blamed on a tragic accident? Faith chuckled and tilted her head in amusement. " Don't worry, though bunny, I'll make it quick. Call it a thank you, I probably never would have made it out if it weren't for you."
"You're sick. And you are wasting time, the exit is right over there. Let's just go and we can pretend that this never happened." Before Faith could respond Courtney lunged at her. Grabbing onto part of the gun.
They were struggling for the gun when Courtney remember her ankle. She leaned on her forcing all of Faith's wieght as well as hers on it. Faith began to fall backwards, and Courtney's momentum had caused her to fall forward on top her. Both women were falling when the gun went off, over and over.
