A/N: Yay! I'm back...I had to work and I was real tired when I came home. By the way, I mentioned the security tape being stolen because I find it amazing how much stuff can happen in a hospital and no one has any idea who it could possibly be...but in my world, at least there is an excuse. Short chapter. Enjoy!

Ch.20 Accusations

"A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS." Jason read off the bottom of the photo.

By now Sonny could feel his rage boiling to the surface. He looked down at the drink in his hand and tried to focus on keeping calm. He couldn't lose, especially with the boys asleep upstairs. With all his energy he tried to keep his anger under control, but it was no use.

"SON OF A BITCH!" he yelled as he took out his anger on his glass, throwing it across the room and watching it shatter as it hit the wall.

"What else do you need my help with?" Faith questioned. "Haven't I already done my part?"

"Yes, you've been a big help. But there's a problem. She can't stay here."

"Why not? It's perfectly cozy in your little room back there. Plus, if you help me get out of here I won't have to run and hide in it every time someone knocks on your door!"

"That's true, and I thank God that you won't be here much longer. But where do you think they're going to look first?" Ric figured that he was probably already the number one suspect. It wouldn't be long before someone came around asking questions and making threats.

"Well what do you want me to do about it? Rent a storage space? This is your plan remember."

"Fine, for tonight. But tomorrow we've got to figure something else out."

"WE?"

Ric sighed with annoyance. "Yes, we. You're a part of this until I decide I don't need you anymore."

Faith grunted in response and left the room. Ric laid down on the and closed his eyes.

'Tomorrow the real fun can begin.' he thought happily to himself before he fell asleep.

Carly walked into Kelly's the next morning to pick up her order. Nobody had gotten any sleep, and it had taken almost an hour for her to get the boys back to sleep after Sonny's outburst. She was hardly in the mood to make breakfast, not that she was the best cook anyway.

'I have no idea why I'm bothering. Not like anybody, including me, is going to eat anything.' she thought. But she figured that it would be better to make an excuse to get out rather than sit around and wish she could do something.

Turning to leave, Carly's eyes narrowed when she saw the person sitting at the corner table. She walked right up to the man's table and helped herself to the seat across from his. The dark haired man put down his paper to find a fiery eyed blonde sitting in front of him.

"Where is she?" Lorenzo Alcazar responded with a confused look on his face.

"Who?"

"You know. Courtney. Where is she?"

"As far as I know, in the hospital. Did something happen?"

"Like you don't know." she shot at him.

"Are you accusing me of something Carly?" She didn't answer, only stood up and left the diner.

She had no doubt in her mind as to whether or not he was capable of doing something like this. If he had actually done it or not was another question.
