Who is Elizabeth?
Chapter 5
At the Penthouse
Courtney looked up from the magazine she was pretending to read as Sonny and Bobbie walked through the door. She noticed the cold look Bobbie gave her and figured Sonny must've told her about Elizabeth. Bobbie hadn't been very happy when Elizabeth left town and even less pleased about Courtney seeing Jason. The level of animosity had made working at Kelly's very uncomfortable.
Sonny and Bobbie sat on the couch and looked at Courtney. "Where are Carly and Michael?" Sonny asked.
"Carly's reading Michael a story up in his room. I think he knows something is wrong. He has been very clingy toward Carly since he got back," Courtney answered.
"That's probably for the best, since I need to talk to you about what you overheard the men planning for Elizabeth," Sonny said stiffly.
Courtney looked terrified; she knew she had to tell them and wasn't looking forward to their reactions. Courtney was sure this would put the final nail in her coffin. "They weren't extremely direct about their plans. They kept cracking jokes about how a fine piece of ... um ... ass should be enjoyed before it's taken care of permanently. The one guy said the boss didn't care what happened to the girl as long as Sonny Corinthos paid. The boss had apparently told them how the information about the girl came at a bargain price. All they had to do was show the girl to the informant and prove that Sonny was being repaid for all that he had done to the both of them. After that they went to the VIP section of the casino and I didn't think about it again until I found out you were my brother," Courtney said her voice filled with guilt. "I am so sorry Sonny, I wish I'd come to you right away. I made a HUGE mistake and I know it will be almost impossible to forgive. I am hoping one day you all will be able to forgive me."
Bobbie shook her head and stood up to stand over a crying Courtney, "I DO NOT understand how you think what you've left Elizabeth to face alone is forgivable. She stood up for you since the moment you got into town. Elizabeth didn't even know you when you stole from her friends and still she got them to cut you a break. She wanted to give you a chance. How do you repay all of that, Courtney?"
Courtney's face was pale and her voice shook, "Bobbie, I can't change what I did or rather didn't do. If I could change it I would believe me. I know I screwed up and let down Elizabeth in a way that is unforgivable."
"Did you know Elizabeth barely survived the last time she was raped? Did you know she was terrorized by her rapist?" Bobbie spat into Courtney's face.
Courtney's whole body was rigid as she heard what Bobbie said. "What have I done," she choked out.
"Okay, stop Bobbie," Sonny said while pulling Bobbie away from Courtney. "This IS NOT helping Elizabeth. What do you need to do to be prepared for when we get Elizabeth back home? Because WE ARE GETTING ELIZABETH BACK!"
Hearing Sonny calmed Bobbie enough to start thinking more like a nurse than a concerned mother, because that is how she always felt about Elizabeth as a daughter. "I will need a few suture kits, some oral and IV antibiotics, some saline drips, oral and IV pain meds, some injectable tranquilizers, and a good First Aid kit to start with. Elizabeth will need somewhere safe to stay and it has to be where she feels safe. I would suggest Jason's even after all of the issues, but I am not sure how she is going to react to Jason and Courtney," Bobbie said thoughtfully.
At this last comment Courtney interrupted, "I have already packed all of my things, Jason and I are through. I just need to find out if I can get a room at Kelly's."
"Bobbie would you mind letting Courtney stay at the brownstone with you for now? I would feel better about her safety with all that is going on at the moment," Sonny asked politely.
"I suppose that could work for a little while. Courtney you can use the guest rooms at my house. I will have Lucas show you how the security works," Bobbie said distractedly. "You know Sonny there is someone I can guarantee Elizabeth will trust. I just have to figure out how to get a hold of her."
"Who?" Sonny asked urgently.
"Emily, but I don't know how to get in touch with her except through the Quartermaines. And that is just not an option I want to use," Bobbie said sounding frustrated.
"Well, if you ask me nice, I can get it from my address book," Carly said with the first smile of the day.
"YOU know how to get in touch with Emily?" Bobbie asked shocked.
"Well, Michael is under strict instructions to call Emily once a week, so she doesn't miss him growing up too much. I will run upstairs and get her number. I am sure she will want to be informed. I am, also, positive that Emily will be arriving within hours of being told," Carly said running upstairs.
Shack in the woods
It had taken Jason and Johnny two hours to get a lead on where Rick Lansing had been hanging out. After Johnny helped an old woman pick up her spilled groceries he had got just the tip they needed. The lady had commented how nice it was to have city folk who were polite around, not like that boy up at the old Mason plus who was rude as an old coot. When Johnny inquired about the old places around town she gave them a run down of the original townspeople. They eventually got her to tell them where the old Mason place was and now they were staring at a shack that had a Mercedes parked in front of it. Definitely a sign that something was out of place.
Johnny was trying to get Jason to let him check things out a little more when all hell broke loose. They heard a woman's scream and without even looking at Jason Johnny knew it was Elizabeth. Both men took off at a dead run. As they hit the door they drew their guns. The stench inside was beyond anything Johnny had ever smelled. Jason saw someone run out the back door, but at the same moment noticed a man holding Elizabeth pinned to the ground. Johnny heard something that sounded like a wild animal and before he realized it was Jason he saw him tearing the man off of Elizabeth. As Johnny tried to get Jason under control, he noticed Elizabeth had stopped moving. She was huddled in a tight little ball against the wall. He could see bruises and welts all over her back and shoulders.
Once Johnny got Jason to stop beating on the man who had been attacking Elizabeth he couldn't even recognize the mass of human flesh. As he saw Jason slowly and cautiously crawl toward where Elizabeth lay, he knew he had to have help now. Stepping to the doorway he dialed Sonny's number. "Sonny, it is very bad. We need assistance at the location. Get us a chopper NOW! You might not have much time," Johnny said in as calm a tone as he could.
