Ch 14 Does It Hurt
Carly had been on the way to the hospital with Micheal when Sonny called. Fortunately with good news, Courtney was awake. She was so glad that she would be awake when Micheal came to visit. She had no idea what it would be like for him to see Courtney the way that she had.
The other news that he delivered wasn't so good. Carly didn't know all the details, but apparently Courtney had told Jason that it actually was Faith that shot her.
'God I hate that woman! It seems she is always finding new ways to hurt my family.' Carly was inwardly seething at the thought of it all. 'Sonny's going to take care of you. Him and Jason are going to make sure you pay. If I had it my way, I would be there the whole time.'
Not wanting any of her inner anger to show she looked down and smiled at her son. Finally, they were there. Navigating their way through the hospital until they found Jason waiting outside her room.
"Hey, Sonny called me. We were on our way over anyway. What's going on?"
"The doctor is checking her out right now." it was then that he noticed she said 'we' and that Micheal was with her. "Hey buddy."
"Hi Uncle Jason. Mommy told me Aunt Courtney got hurt in the fire."
"That's right. But she's doing better now, would you like to go see her after the doctor is done?" Micheal nodded. "Alright then, I'm sure she'll be very glad to see you."
This had to be irony at its best. Here she was used to nothing but the best and hiding out in a sleezy old motel that she wouldn't give a second glance on a regular day. This place was without a doubt the lowest she had ever gone.
'Why? All because I couldn't even get something as simple as murder done right.' Faith thought angrily at herself. She had yet to find a way out that would be undetectable and untraceable. For all she knew Sonny had men on her right now, ready to fire. The thought made her double check the windows and the door. 'Damn it. Why does nothing ever go my way?'
For a while she had even considered going to Alcazar for help, but knowing him he would only give her a five second head start before telling Sonny where he had sent her. Two birds with one stone. Sonny would take care of Faith, and then Sonny would go away for murder. She had no idea what she was going to do, but she knew she wouldn't have much time to figure it out. Faith was a dead woman, and she knew it.
When Sonny arrived at the hospital, Jason was waiting by the door, and Carly had just taken Micheal in.
"How's everything going?"
"She's stable as long as she keeps it together."
"Do you know what it was that caused her to freak out?"
"I'm pretty sure she was remembering the hotel."
"Yeah, that would probably make anyone nervous."
Meanwhile
Carly was slowly guiding Micheal into the room. She could feel him stiffen as he took a look around the room. Rubbing his shoulders they continued over to the bed. She was laying flat on her back and didn't even notice that they had come in. When she had noticed them she turned her head and saw Micheal. She gave him a smile and he gave one twice as big back at her.
She raised the bed up just enough that she could be looking straight at him.
"Hey Micheal."
"Hi Aunt Courtney." he paused and looked around at everything in the room. "Does it hurt?"
"Just a little." she lied. The last thing she needed or wanted was someone else worrying about her.
They spoke for a while. It was actually mostly just him speaking, and her listening. He talked about school and soccer, he was telling her about something funny Morgan had done, and all sorts of things. After a while they left and promised to come back later.
As they left the room Carly spotted Ric approaching Sonny and Jason and she knew that this wasn't going to be pretty for anyone. What ever was going to happen she didn't want Micheal to see. Fortunately, she caught Bobbie as she was coming by.
"Mom? Could you do me a favor and take Micheal to get a cookie or something from the cafeteria?"
"I'd love to! Come on Micheal." Bobbie happily took Micheal. As soon as they were gone, she turned her attention back to Ric and went to join Sonny and Jason.
'This is going to be interesting.' she thought as she appeared next to her husband.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Sonny demanded of the younger man.
