SuzieQ8487- Jason is so noble. I hope you don't think I'm crazy with the name Milo. It just popped into my head, and I could not get it out. I know it doesn't exactly fit, but it's like when you get a cheesy song in your head, it won't get out until you sing it on top of your lungs.

tydavislover- Courtney is running! Keep reading and reviewing to find out if Jason is ok.

anon14- aww, that is so sweet. I love the super nice compliments! Glad you like it so much!

ghgirl15- Glad my teaser's teasing! If you wanna find out about Jason, you gotta keep up the reviews!

ImJustKidding89- If he hit him in the head with the bullet, then that totally would have messed with my story, lol. I would never be able to forgive him. Oops, there I go with the delusions again...

luvthemorgans- You are so demanding Bre, lol. Glad I'm able to help get you through the day. I don't know how you like HS though! Lol. If you want, you can go for me too and I'll just stay home and watch GH and eat all day long. It's the perfect way to gain 300 pounds! Oh, and sorry about the BF.

Chapter 10- Home is Where the Heart is

Sonny sat in the dark limo staring at his sister's sobbing form as she held her baby tightly to her. He had received her call nearly a half an hour after Jason had been shot. She was in a little town that she had managed to make it to and she needed Sonny to pick her up. After learning the name of the town based on the names of all of the little shops that littered the one main street, he had sped over, expecting to find Jason with them. That was when she had explained what had happened, right down to Jason being shot. Now, she was sobbing in his limo, questioning whether or not her husband was alive.

They arrived back at Harborview Towers and Sonny helped Courtney and Meg from the car, half carrying them to the elevator. Courtney had a lost child look in her eyes. She seemed so out of it.

"Are you ok to stay in the penthouse tonight?" he asked her.

"We'll be fine" she pressed. "I'm going to shower and bathe Meg and then we'll come over for dinner" she said softly.

"Ok" said Sonny. "He's fine. He'll be fine. And we will get him home safe" assured Sonny.

"God I hope so" said Courtney with a sigh as she went into her penthouse.

Jason woke up with a groan as the bright light invaded his eyes. Turning his head, he found that he was lying down on his stomach. He tried to move, but he found that his wrists and ankles were strapped to the gurney that he was lying on. He didn't know what was wrong, but all he could feel was pain. It suddenly all came back to him.

"Courtney" he whispered. "Meg?" he tried.

"You're awake Morgan" said Milo as he walked over to Jason.

He gave the broken man in front of him a sneer before leaning on the man's bullet wound, pressing hard on it. Jason cried out in pain. He was shaking and sweating from the pain, and he was sure that he had a fever.

"We removed the bullet" continued Milo. "After all, we need to keep you alive to use you as a bargaining chip. But keep in mind Morgan, if your boss continues to piss me off, I will kill you. Don't think that I won't. It was stupid to try to run away. We already killed your wife and daughter. They learned the hard way that you don't cross me" he said in an eerie voice that was barely louder than a whisper. "And you. You shall be punished for thinking you can run from me" said the man as he left the room again before motioning to Vince and Ray.

Jason hardly noticed as the two men unstrapped him and began to pummel his already broken body. All that he could think about was Milo's words. Courtney and Meg were gone. They had been killed, and Jason had nothing left in the world.

"Hey Sonny" said Courtney as she walked into her brother's penthouse with Meg.

"Hey" he said softly as he planted a soft kiss on her cheek.

Courtney gave him a half smile as she placed Meg on the floor next to Morgan so that the two kids could play.

"Have you found anything?" she asked Sonny.

"No, not yet. Fredricks cleared out his safe house and moved to another location" said Sonny.

"Moved?" asked Courtney. "What about Jason? He was shot in the back. He's too weak to move" she exclaimed.

"I'm sure he's fine" Sonny assured her, although he wasn't feeling it himself.

"He has to be Sonny" she begged, her eyes filled with tears.

Once the guard had their fun, they dragged Jason to a small room. It was more like a cell, and was no where near as nice as the room he had shared with Courtney and Meg. That was how Jason knew that Milo meant business. He would most likely kill Jason, even if Sonny did give him the territory that he so craved. Jason's only option was escape, but that hadn't gone so well last time. Plus, he was far too weak to move much anyway. He tried to assure himself that he had been through worse. He tried to tell himself that he would be ok. He tried to convince himself that Courtney and Meg were in a better place. But he couldn't. He couldn't imagine that they had died peaceful deaths when he knew Milo had probably tortured them to death. In that instant, Jason didn't care if he died. Death would be a welcome release from the pain that he was feeling right then and there.
The rest of the night had been a blur to Courtney. She vaguely remembered Carly trying unsuccessfully to comfort her. And Sonny trying to do the same. But Courtney was beyond comfort. She had finally given up on dinner and brought Meg back across the hall. The little girl seemed happy to be in her own bed again and she promptly fell asleep. But sleep didn't come to Courtney as easily as it did Meg. She spent hours tossing and turning all alone in the big bed, wondering about Jason. She hoped that he was being treated right. With food, and water, and a place to sleep. She hoped that they had taken the bullet out of his back and sewed him up so he was back to new. But she couldn't be sure of anything.
The next morning, Courtney decided to take Meg and go to breakfast at Kelly's. If anything, she owed her father. Mike had been eager to know where his daughter had been all that time but everyday Sonny had brushed it off as a mother-daughter trip to his island. A necessary bonding time he had called it. Now, Courtney was back and Mike was overjoyed. He couldn't help but notice his daughter's depressed demeanor though.

"What's wrong pumpkin?" he asked her.

"It's nothing daddy. It's just…Jason"

"What the hell did that loser do to you now?" asked Mike.

"Dad!" Courtney exclaimed. "Don't you ever call Jason a loser again! He's my husband, and I love him. I will not let you disrespect him like that. And he didn't do anything. He's just away on business, and I miss him" she said.

She felt terrible for lying to her own father, but she couldn't let anyone know about the kidnappings. It was Sonny's orders. He didn't want any police involvement and he found it best to keep it all quiet. Lucky walked into the restaurant right at that second and he immediately caught Courtney's eye.

"Can I talk to you a second?" he asked before he added "in private"

"Ah, yeah sure. Daddy, can you watch Meg for a moment?" she asked Mike.

"Sure thing sweetheart" Mike said with a smile as he nodded at her.

Courtney got up and followed Lucky outside. No one was there and Courtney had to admit that it is was eerily quiet.

"Thank god you and the baby are ok" Lucky said with a sigh of relief.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"What do you mean what do I mean? You and Meg were kidnapper, remember?" asked Lucky.

"We weren't kidnapped. We were just…"

"Save it Courtney. I already got Jason and Sonny to admit to it before I was threatened into keeping my mouth shut"

"Look Lucky…"

"I need to take Meg back" said Lucky.

"What!" she demanded. "You're kidding right?"

"Courtney, don't you get it. The life Jason leads puts her in danger and I can't allow that happen again"

"It wont" she said with her eyes narrowing at him.

"How can you be sure of that?" asked Lucky.

"I just can" she said as she turned to walk back into Kelly's.

Lucky grabbed her arm to prevent her from leaving.

"Lucky, let go of me!" she shrieked. "Stop it!"

"Courtney, calm down! Let's talk this over as rational adults. Me, you, and Jason!"

"We cant!" said Courtney through teary eyes.

"Do you think Jason's going to be ok?" asked Carly as she sat on the couch next to her husband.

Sonny pulled her close, sensing just how scared she was. Truthfully, he was scared too. He was worried that his best friend was badly hurt. And he was sure Fredricks wasn't doing anything to ease his suffering.

"He'll be ok" said Sonny, praying to god that he wasn't making himself a liar.

"What do you mean we can't!" exclaimed Lucky.

"Jason was taken too! And he's still in captivity, except with a bullet in his back!" she hissed at Lucky, her voice low but deadly.

"Oh Courtney" said Lucky softly as he released his grip on the blonde.

"Don't oh Courtney me" she snapped. "Pity is the last thing I need right now. At this moment, all I want is for you to go away and leave us alone. Trust me when I say that I can protect my baby. I won't let anyone hurt her" said Courtney as her eyes pleaded with Lucky's.

"Alright" he said. "I am not going to bother you about this right now. But hear me Courtney. Once Jason comes home, all bets are off. I need to think with Meg's best interests at heart, not yours. And if something else happens to that little girl…" warned Lucky.

"Nothing is going to happen. I can promise you that" she said defiantly.

"Alright, now that that's settled, there's something else we need to talk about Courtney" said Lucky with a sigh.

Jason was sure that he was going delirious. He kept seeing Courtney and Meg before him, urging him to hold on. Everytime he closed his eyes he saw his two blonde angels, there to comfort him, or smile at him, or just tell him that he needed to stay alive. They told him that he needed to fight. Jason wasn't even sure what was going on lately. He seemed to be in a haze. He was sure that he had sustained a nasty infection from the bullet wound and he was also sure that some of the wounds he received from the guards' beatings were getting infected as well. He was lying stomach down on the hard concrete floors, and he could not move for the life of him. He was dying, and Jason Morgan was sure of it.
"Jason's pulled through worse, right?" questioned Carly.

"Of course he has" assured Sonny. "We're looking for him right now, I promise. And we will find him and bring him back home"

"You have some idea at least of where he is?" asked a hopeful Carly.

"We will find him" assured Sonny with a sigh. He didn't want to lie to her twice in a row.

"What else could you possibly want Lucky?" snapped Courtney.

"Go to the police with this" Lucky urged as Courtney scoffed and rolled her eyes. "I'm serious, we can help. We have better resources than your brother. We can find him and save him"

"I doubt it. You'll just botch any plans" she said with a sarcastic chuckle.

"See, that's the attitude that your brother and husband have against the police. You're just imitating them. God, why is it that anything Jason Morgan says is gold?" asked Lucky.

"Right now, as far as I'm concerned, everything that my husband says is gold. Now leave me alone Lucky" she said as she turned from him and stormed back into Kelly's, leaving a disgruntled Lucky alone to punch the dumpster and nearly break his hand in his anger with no one to see another useless move made by yet another member of the PCPD.
