Chapter 3 : Alone
~ Pier 52 ~
Everything was silent around him. It seemed like the world stood still, just like his heart and his blood. Just like her. He was holding her limp body in his arms, rocking back and forward feeling as if the world had crumbled on his head. Snow had started to fall like pieces of his heart, of the sky, pieces of his life coming down on them. She was gone and he, he was alone. Again.
" Mr. Morgan. Jason. " Marco was hurt, but was more worried about his boss than himself. Jason was just staring at Courtney's dead body in his arms. Tears running down his face and sobs coming unchecked in his solitary mourning. It had been almost an hour since Courtney had pronounced her last words. Faith had tried to escape but Max and Marco had shot her multiple times. Her enforcer and one of her guards had ran, but two others where also dead. After the hit was over, the guards weren't sure of what to do. So they called for a clean up crew. After that was done, there was only one more thing to do. They had to call Sonny. But what were they suppose to say? Hey Sonny. The hit went wrong 'cause your sister tried to save the day and ended up getting herself killed. They knew it was wrong of them to think of her like that, after all she was his bosses sister and wife. But damn! All she had to do was stay in her home and wait for Jason. Was that so hard to do? They looked at the scene before them and knew they had no other option.
" Jason. We have to call Sonny." Max tried this time. Still no answer. " It's late we need to leave and call the police." Still no answer.
" Ok, man. We are going to call Sonny now." He walked back to where Marco and the other two guards were standing. " You have to call Sonny. He's in shock, am worried about him."
" Why do I have to call Sonny? You call him."
" Am giving you an order. Am the senior guard here so, you call Sonny."
" How am I going to tell him that his sister is dead?" " Find a way, pronto."
Ten minutes later . . .
" What did you say to him?" Max asked worried looking at his watch.
" Nothing. Just that there had been a problem with the hit. I told him Courtney showed up and Faith grabbed her... And then the line went dead. I guess his on his way."
Just then they heard foot steps coming towards them. If the police find them there they all would be in a lot of trouble. Soon they saw Sonny coming closer. Pete and Dave guarding his back. When he got close enough he could see Jason laying in the ground with his little sister in his arms. Then he realized she wasn't breathing. Sonny was frozen. This couldn't be happening to him. His baby sister was dead... Regret and remorse filled his mind. Pain and helplessness flooded his senses. He wasn't able to protect his family, he had failed them. Courtney was dead and it was his fault. No not his fault, it was Jason's fault. He had warned him, he had told him that he wasn't worthy of his sister. He order him to leave her alone but he wouldn't. And now it was too late, she was gone. His eyes were filled with tears.
" W- what happened?" His question was directed at Jason, but he didn't seem to have heard it.
" She ran in here and Faith, she called her guards and they..." Max was cut off by Sonny's shout.
" I ASKED... JASON." For a long moment all of them waited. Jason didn't looked back. Then he breathed deeply and answered.
" I- I don't know w - where she came from. I- I asked her to go home, I- I ordered her to go home but she- she didn't listened to me-e." His voice broke slightly.
" Your duty was to take her out of here. I trusted you to take care of her. She trusted you."
" I wasn't fast enough."
" This is all your fault."
" I tried..."
" NOT HARD ENOUGH!" Sonny lost his composure at this point. " You might as well have fired the gun yourself."
" I love her."
" Get up."
" No... I don't..."
" GET UP!" Sonny moved closer and held him by his elbow. He jerked Jason up and he let go of his wife's body.
" Let me go! Stop it... Do you think this is easy for me? My wife is dead."
" MY sister is dead."
" It's always about you, isn't it? My life has changed forever. I'm suppose to be your best friend, your brother... do you even care how I'm felling?" Jason asked incredulously.
" The only thing I know is that my wife is in the hospital and that my baby sister is dead. The territory is being targeted... and that the only person in whom I trusted my life, has failed me." He looked at the lifeless body of his sister and then back at his enforcer. " I'm leaving for the island as soon as Carly is out of the hospital. I don't want you near my family again. I'll ask my lawyer to draw the papers for the society dissolution. You'll get half of everything. But the only condition is that you never get near me or my family. I don't want to see you ever again. Get out of my face."
" I don't care about your money. I don't care about the coffee business or the damn territory! The only thing I ever cared about was your trust, your approval and your friendship. I needed you to be there for me as I have always been for you. But I guess that was just too much to ask of you. You've never cared about anyone else but yourself."
" If I ever see you come near me or my family I'll shot you myself. And that goes for Courtney's funeral as well. Now get out. GET OUT!"
" You can't do that. She's my wife." He tried to come closer but Sonny stepped in front of him.
" I warned you. I'll shot you myself." They looked in each others eyes and any sign of friendship that there used to be between them was gone. Sonny's eyes were cold, drained of feelings. Jason's were blood red and swollen after all the crying he had been doing. He couldn't take it anymore. He looked down and walked away without looking back.
The guards were all standing there in awe. They knew things were going to be bad, but they never thought things would end up like this. Jason walked passed them without looking up. Sonny walked next to his sister and kneeled over her. He started to cry unconsolable.
* * * What do you guys think? Jason has been vanished off the organization, and has lost the only family he ever wanted. What's there left for him? * * *
