Chapter 4
Jason hung up the phone. He called Johnny, "Carly's been attacked. I don't know where she is or if she's even alive. Get all of the men on it and I'll meet you at the warehouse in 15 minutes."
"You got it Jason." Johnny said and ran to call everyone.
Jason ran into the movie theatre and pulled Sonny out. "Jason, what the hell was that? I'm trying to watch the movie with Michael." Sonny said angrily
"I've got to tell you something." Jason said, the fear was evident in his voice. Jason paused, he didn't know how to tell him.
"Spit it out!" Sonny shouted, he knew that it was bad. "Is she dead?"
They both knew he meant Carly. Jason sighed, "I was on the phone with her. I wanted to try and get her to tell me what's going on but then I heard her groan and I guess she dropped her phone because there was a clattering noise. I was shouting for her and I heard footsteps and this man answered her phone. He told me that she was on death's doorstep."
The blood drained out of Sonny face. His voice wavered, "We've got to find her."
"The men are already on it. They are searching all over Port Charles. We'll find her." Jason stated roughly, "Do you want me to tell Leticia what's going on?"
"No, I will. I don't want to alert Michael to anything." Sonny said
"OK, well meet me and Johnny at the warehouse in 10 minutes. " Jason said
Sonny nodded and walked back inside. Jason ran a hand over his eyes. He was trying not to let his fear show. Carly is his best friend, he knows that he has taken her for granted in the past but he promised her that he would always be there for her and he wasn't going to let her down.
Carly was in pain. She could actually feel her life slipping away. She willed herself to stay awake. Her eyelids felt heavy, she tried to open them but the wouldn't. She could hear the waves brushing up against the pier. She wanted to move or struggle, anything to get her some help. Carly refused to give up; she had too many things to live for. If she lived through this Carly promised that she would tell Sonny and Jason the truth.
Jason decided to take a short cut to the warehouse. As he made his way to Elm Street Pier, he remembered how much Carly loved the water, that's where she would go to think. He broke into a run, for some reason he knew that's where he would find her. When he first got to the pier he didn't see her. His well-trained eyes scanned the area as he pulled out his gun.
He was at the top of the stairs when he saw it. A hand, clearly female, just flung out. Jason raced down the steps and his heart dropped. It was Carly, she was lying in a pool of blood. He dropped down beside her and felt for a pulse. It was weak but it was there. He put his gun away and pulled out his phone and dialed 911. "I need at ambulance. A woman's been shot. I'm at Elm Street pier, hurry she's lost a lot of blood."
Jason hung up the phone and quickly dialed Johnny, "I found her. She's at Elm street pier. Meet me at the hospital." He then called Sonny, "Meet us at the hospital. She's still alive."
He heard the sirens and the paramedics and the police came running down the steps. Jason watched as though in a trance as they quickly put Carly on a stretcher. Taggert came up to Jason, "Another one down."
"Not now, Taggert." Jason snarled
"How long ago was she shot?" One of the paramedics asked
"I guess about 15 minutes. Maybe longer. I was on the phone with her when it happened." Jason said
"Are you going with us?" The paramedic asked
"Yeah" Jason said and followed them up to the ambulance.
Allen McCormick turned to Taggert, "Better call the feds. They'll want to get someone on this ASAP."
