Ch. 17 Delivery
"I'm sorry, I can't hear you. Can you speak up." Faith said right before pushing the gun into her stomach, causing Courtney to scream out in pain. The pain had brought her back to full attention just in time for Faith to pull the trigger in her midsection once more.
Courtney's eyes shot open and she woke with a gasp. She was covered in a cold sweat with the gunshot still echoing in her head. She took a look around the dark room, as far as she could tell she was alone. She had been silently hoping that Jason would be there somewhere. Maybe resting or thinking somewhere in the room that was out of her limited vision. Though it had been days, the doctors still told her to "refrain from sudden or strenuous movements." According to them, just about everything outside of laying flat on her back was considered strenuous right now.
She had been doing her best to obey them, but she was getting sick of only being able to see a tenth of the room she was stuck in. Courtney slowly began to bring herself into a sitting position, grateful that she was no longer hooked up to every machine known to the history of medicine. Pulling herself up, she realized that the pain was noticeably less but definitely there.
Leaning back on her arms, she got a better look at the dark, empty room. Jason wasn't there. She layed back down and stared up at the all-to- familiar spot on the ceiling. She was going crazy. She could hardly tell who was coming to visit her until they came close enough to enter her range of sight.
"God!" she brought her hands up to her face and groaned loudly. "Jason where are you?"
Jason had gone back to the penthouse to take a shower while Courtney had been sleeping, he wasn't happy about it. He didn't like the idea of her waking up without him there, she had been having nightmares, just about everytime she slept. He was on his way back when his cell phone went off.
"Morgan."
"Jason, it's Sonny. I need you to meet me at the warehouse."
"What's going on?" he didn't want to work right now.
"I just got a call from a guy. Couldn't tell who it was, voice was all distorted, but they said they had something of mine that I would want back. Wants us to meet him at the warehouse in 15 minutes."
"What could he have?"
"I'm not sure."
"Ok, I'll be there." he sighed and left the hospital once more. He was hoping that Courtney would be able to come home soon. 'What was she doing in a hospital bed that she couldn't do in their bed at home?' he wondered.
Sonny had arrived just a few minutes before Jason pulled up.
"Been waiting long?" the younger man asked.
"No, just got here. Let's go see this guy." Sonny got straight to the point.
As they entered they flicked on the lights and saw a man rise from a sitting position as he saw them. Immediately Jason pulled out his gun, and held it on him, the strange man began to freak out.
"Whoa, whoa. What's that for? Don't kill me!" he was definitely freaked out.
"What do you want?" Sonny asked angrily as Jason put his gun away.
"Nothing. I was sitting in the park and some guys comes up from behind me and gives me a hundred bucks to be here at this time. Said to come and wait for these guys, I'm guessing you, to come and then to give you this." he handed him a small cell phone, which Sonny eyed curiously.
"Did you see what he looked like?"
"No. Told me not to turn around. Also said that you should push one on the speed dial. That's all I swear." Sonny rubbed his hand over his face and sighed. He hated being jerked around like an idiot.
"Alright. Get out of here." he ordered him. The young man listened and darted quickly out of the warehouse. Then he pushed one and held the phone to his ear. It rang for a a couple of minutes before it was answered by the same distorted voice Sonny had spoke to earlier.
"Hello Mr. Corinthos."
"Who the hell is this?" he interrogated.
"That's not important right now. Do you know why I asked you here?"
"Yeah, you said you had something of mine."
"I did say that."
"No games!" he shouted into the phone. "Do you or don't you have something of mine?" There was a moment of silence.
"I do now." a small laugh came from the other end.
"What the hell does that mean?"
"How's your wife." then the line went dead. Sonny filled with fear and ran out of the building, with Jason in tow.
"Sonny, what's going on?" he shouted after him.
"It was a trick to get us here. He's going after Carly!"
Carly had just checked in on Micheal and Morgan who were still sleeping soundly. She went downstairs and sat on the couch. She was wondering how much longer Sonny would be gone when she heard a loud thud come from the hallway.
Slowly, she opened the door and walked out into the empty hall. Carly walked out a little further out when she was caught off guard by a man grabbing her arm from behind.
