Ch. 33 Cut Up Angels
Sonny walked into the penthouse, hoping to see his wife and hear good news. Not only did he not know where his sister was, but he hadn't heard anything from Jason since he left earlier. He'd held back on calling him, but doubted that he could do so for much longer.
"Carly." he called to the room. It was pointless though, he knew she wasn't there. He could always tell when she wasn't there. He could always tell when she wasn't there. Plus, sitting and waiting had never been and would never be Carly's style. Especially when it came to her family and loved ones being in any sort of trouble.
Sighing, he walked out of their home and across the hall. Easily opening the door, knowing it wouldn't be locked. Jason always kept it open in case he was needed right away. Walking in, he turned the lights on and his body froze.
"Carly!" he shouted, rushing in. He knelt beside her and gently tried to rouse his wife. His mind raced. He remembered Lily. Lily and his baby. The car. The explosion. Not again. It couldn't happen again. His heart resumed beating when he saw her eyes flutter open.
"Sonny?" she said, and he released a small smile nodding. "Bitch."
"What?" he asked surprised.
"Oh, not you sweetie." she said using his hand to pull herself up. "Robin."
"Robin? Robin did this?"
"I was trying to call Jason. She came behind me. I turned around, and that's all I remember before now."
"Why would-" Sonny began to ask.
"It was her!" she interjected, remembering why she was calling her friend. "She's crazy, obsessed. Sonny she put Courtney in that place."
Carly watched as her husbands eyes darkened with rage, and she knew that this was the side of him that was all business. This was the side that only appeared when someone tried to hurt him or his family and needed to be taken care of.
"Where is she?" he asked in a growl.
"I don't know, I..." she trailed off, suddenly feeling lightheaded, she swayed a little. This didn't go unnoticed by Sonny.
"Come on, we're going to the hospital." he informed, the gentle tone returning to his voice.
"I'm fine, it's just a little bump on the head."
"Then let the doctor say so."
Carly sighed, giving in, and they walked out the door and into the elevator.
"Sonny, what about Robin?"
"Just hurry." Jason finished the rock conversation. The rain had let up a bit, so he was able to connect the call once he reached the road.
Their only problem was that the operator told him he needed to flag down the ambulance. To do that, he would have to stay up there until they arrived. With the roads the way they were, he had no idea how long they would take. He couldn't leave Courtney alone. He promised he wouldn't.
Jason looked down the dark road as a pair of headlights approached. He thought about how quick that was, but then realized that he hadn't seen any flashing lights or heard any sirens. So he knew it was not who he was waiting for, but it could help anyway. Holding his arms in front of him, he stood out in the road until the car came to a halt. Relieved that they actually stopped, Jason ran to the driver's door as they rolled the window down. He was surprised at the face he saw, but decided it was better than nothing.
"Jason, what the hell happened to you?" Robin asked, getting out of the car and seeing the blood on him.
"I need your help." he said, getting straight to the point.
"Anything, what is it?"
"It's Courtney." he said, too involved in thinking about her to notice the change in the woman before him when he said her name. "There was an accident, she's stuck in the car."
"That's awful." she lied. "What can I do?"
"I need you to stay here and wave down the ambulance. I'm going back down to her, she's hurt and needs to stay conscious." he told her and turned to go back to the blonde.
"No." she shouted when he turned to leave.
"No? Robin, we don't have time to mess around. Someone has to stay with her."
"I know. But when the ambulance gets here, they'll need to know about her condition and background. You know that kind of stuff, I don't. So you wait and I'll make sure she's alright." she explained.
Jason sighed. She had a point. One he didn't like, but it was there. He knew the kinds of things that had happened to her since she arrived in Port Charles, and she had told him just about everything from her past as well. It could be useful. He wanted to be the one with her, but he was going to think about what was best for her.
"Fine. Be careful going down. Don't move anything and just...just try to keep her awake." he ordered.
Robin nodded and carefully made her way down. It was easy to follow the trail of damage the car had made on its trek downward. She thanked God for keeping Jason in good condition. Finally, she reached the wreckage.
"This is too easy."
