Chapter 2

Sonny filled Jason in on what Bobbie said as they hurried to Carly's building. When they got there the police were already inside. Bobbie stood outside Carly's door, she was crying.

Jason felt his heart drop into his stomach, "Have they found her? Is she dead?"

"I don't know. But just look at her apartment. Whoever took her must have had a hard time." Bobbie said sadly, "I know she put up one hell of a fight."

Jason crossed over the threshold. Once inside their eyes widened in alarm at what was left of Carly's home. Lucky saw them standing there and walked over. "She's not here and there's no sign of forced entry or exit for that matter. But there is obviously sign of a struggle of some sort."

"Do you know if this is her blood?" Sonny asked

"We are having it analyzed right now. We have found some fingerprints but no match other than Carly's yet. Some of the guys are talking to her neighbors right now." Lucky pointed towards a few officers we were shaking hands with an older couple and walked over to Lucky. "They didn't see anything. They said they thought they heard her screaming and the glass breaking but they aren't really sure."

"Why didn't they call the police?" Lucky asked annoyed

"They said they did." Jesse said

Before Lucky could say anything Jack, a rookie, called to him from inside Carly's bedroom. Sonny and Jason followed Lucky. When they all stood before the bathroom mirror he spoke, "There's writing on it. The mirror was smashed right in the middle but you can still make out the writing."

"What does it say?" Sonny asked

"Goodbye Carly." Jack answered slowly pointing out the letters.

At Bobbie's shout of joy followed by horror the four men ran out to the living room and stopped short at what they saw. Carly stood in front of them; her hair was matted with blood, her lips were blue from the cold and her wide brown eyes looked crazed as they stood out against her pale complexion. Blood and bruises surrounded the gashes that covered her body. She looked around confused, "What are you doing here?" She addressed the group at large.

"Carly?" Bobbie asked

"Yes mama?" Carly answered

"What happened to you?" Bobbie asked

"Nothing. I'm fine." Carly said

"Lets get her to the hospital." Sonny said

"I'll meet you there. I'm going to finish up here first." Lucky said

Carly stood still in a daze as though she had no idea what was happening. She barely flinched when Jason picked her up and carried her out to the car with Sonny and Bobbie following behind.

Carly was almost finished being checked by a doctor when Lucky arrived. "How is she?" He asked Sonny and Jason who were standing outside her door.

"Just a few stitches on her forehead. The rest of the cuts are shallow and just needed to be cleaned." Sonny said, "From what Bobbie said she looks a lot worse than she is."

"Has she said who attacked her?" Lucky asked

"She hasn't said a word since we left the apartment. She's barely even moved." Jason said

"Oh." Lucky said

"Why?" Sonny asked

"Because all the blood on the walls is hers. The fingerprints are hers." Lucky started

"What are you saying Lucky?" Sonny asked

"I think Carly did this herself." Lucky answered

"You can't be serious?" Sonny said

"I've gone over all the options but if you combine what the neighbors said to the damage and our evidence it makes sense." Lucky answered, "I mean she is a Spencer. We do have fairly violent tempers occasionally."

"I can't believe that Carly would hurt herself like that." Jason said

"Did you listen to the message she left Bobbie? In that state I believe she could have done anything." Lucky said

"What was the message?" Sonny asked

Lucky pulled Bobbie's phone out of a plastic evidence bag. "We were checking it for voice recognition to make sure that it actually was Carly and it is." He handed the phone to Sonny. When Sonny had finished listening to it he handed it to Jason who also listened with a confused expression on his face.e handed to He

Bobbie followed Tony quickly out of Carly's room temporarily distracting Sonny and Jason from the phone message. "When can I take her home Tony?" She asked

"I don't know." Tony said as he walked to the nurses desk with the group following behind him.

"Why not? Isn't she ok?" Sonny asked

"Physically, yes. Mentally I'm not so sure." Tony said

"So what are you going to do?" Jason asked

"I want her to have a psychological evaluation. We need to make sure that she is no longer a danger to herself or to others before we make any more decisions." Tony said

"And if she is a danger to herself?" Lucky asked

"Most likely she'll have to be committed." Tony answered

"NO!" Bobbie and Sonny shouted together, "Carly will die if she has to go back to Shadybrook." Sonny said

"We don't even know what her current state of mind is yet. Lets wait until after her evaluation before we discuss treatment options." Tony said

Dr. Mathers came off the elevator and walked towards Tony, "Dr. Jones?"

"Yes?" He answered

"I'm Dr. Mathers. You called for an evaluation of one of your patients." She said

"Yes, Carly Alcazar. Room 331." Tony said, "If you want to go ahead and talk with her I'll be right in after I file this paperwork."

After Dr. Mathers walked away Sonny turned to Jason, "Call Justice right now. We need him here."

Before Jason could question him Dr, Mathers came running back out towards them, "She's not there!"

"What?" Bobbie shouted, "Where is she?"

"I'll call hospital security. " Tony said at the same time as Jason and Sonny ran for the elevator.

They searched for the rest of the day but couldn't find her. Finally Sonny and Jason both ended up back at Sonny's mansion where Reese and Sam were waiting for them.

"Any news on Carly?" Sam asked

"Nothing since she ran away from the hospital." Jason said

"I should have seen this coming!" Sonny said thrusting a hand through his hair.

"Sonny there was no way for you to know that Carly was going to lose it." Reese said in an attempt to be soothing.

"She's my wife. I should have paid more attention." Sonny practically

Jason and Sam exchanged glances at the look on Reese's face when Sonny called her his wife. The phone rang and Sonny went to answer it. Sonny had just picked it up to answer it when a shot was fired right into the base of the phone. Ric who was on the other end heard the shot and immediately called the police.

"No calls tonight." Carly said in a deadly soft voice holding the gun steady as she pointed it as the phone.
