Chapter 15
"Hey! Where's Princess at? And what the hell happened to your face Caroline?" Luke asked approaching.
"Your prescious princess did this," Carly spat gesturing to her already bruised jaw. "Then she took off with that WSB guy."
"Looks like she remembered to hit with her knuckles like I taught her," he said rocking back on his heels.
Before Carly could retort, Sonny spoke up,"How's Lucky doin'?"
"Good. He'll be able to bust out of here in a coupla days. Why didn't you go with Elizabeth and Frisco?"
"She didn't want company,"Jason said. "She was upset with Carly."
"Damn right she was! Crazy Caroline helped an attempted murderer escape," Luke said with a chuckle.
"I just don't get it," Sonny said."She's so different. Cold, and tough. She was never like this before she joined the WSB."
"Course she wasn't!" Luke said sarcastically at the ignorant comment."Before she joined the WSB she'd never had her best friend try to kill her! She'd never had to pretend to be dead to stay safe. She'd also never dealt with my unstable niece in a physical capacity. I'd be scared if she hadn't changed."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I just want this to all be over," Elizabeth told Frisco. They'd spent the whole day following up leads, and beating down contacts in an attempt to find Courtney.
"So do I! Then I wouldn't have to worry about you being shot or having your throat cut while you sleep."
Liz rolled her eyes,"Is it cool if I go back to the house? I don't think I'm especially welcome in Casa de Corinthos anymore."
Frisco pulled into the parking lot at Harborview Towers,"Sure thing Pheonix. You need me to give you a ride?"
"Nah," she said opening the door."I'll take a cab."
"Okay. Be careful, I'll call you if I hear anything." Liz waved goodbye to him and took the elevator to the penthouse floor. She smiled at a stone-faced Max as he opened the door to the penthouse. Sonny, Carly, and Jason were deep in conversation on the couch. They turned to look at her as she came in.
"Don't worry! I only came to get my stuff, then I'll be content to never see any of you again." She climbed the stairs without waiting for an answer. She quickly packed the two suitcases she had and hustled down the stairs. She wanted to get as far away from them as possible.
"Where are you going to stay?" Carly asked.
Liz arched an eyebrow in her direction,"Why do you want to know? So you can tell that psycho bunny on steroids you call a best friend? I seriously don't fuckin' think so."
"What if we find Courtney before you do?" Jason asked seriously.
She tried as hard as she could, but couldn't completely stifle the laugh that came out. "You gotta be kidding me right? The two of you are about as capable as the damn PCPD. When you find Corky, she'll be in unrecognizable pieces." With that, she turned and stalked out of the door.
