Jason paced back and forth in the hospital waiting room as he waited for word on Carly condition. Sonny and Johnny had arrived a little while ago. Sonny had immediately gone to the church chapel but Johnny was just sitting in a chair staring out into space. Jason's eyes narrowed as three suited men came walking in to the room. He knew that they weren't Sonny's men and they didn't look like bodyguards.
They look like cops. He thought.
They stopped at the front desk. Jason recognized one of the men from the docks. He had been talking to Carly a couple of weeks ago. What was his name? John? Jason thought, No that's not it. Jeff? Yeah that's it." He nudged Johnny in the ribs and pointed at the men. Johnny's eyes narrowed and he looked questioningly at Jason. Jason shrugged; he didn't have any more idea of who they were than Johnny.
Jeff, Bill and Charlie walked quickly to the front desk at General Hospital. Marcus Taggert had informed them about Carly 30 minutes ago and they hadn't heard anything since then. Jeff knew that it was important to Carly that she be the one to tell Sonny and Jason about her job herself so he was doing everything he could not to alert them to anything suspicious.
"Has there been any word on Carly Corinthos?" Jeff asked
"She's still in surgery. You can wait in the waiting room." Elizabeth Webber, who was working at the desk, said. She pointed over to where Jason and Johnny were sitting.
"Thanks." Jeff said, "Should we call the bureau?" he whispered to Bill and Charlie. "Someone there might be able to make some calls and get us more information faster."
"I know that you are worried about Carly. We all are but we don't need to be asking a lot of questions especially since now we know there is a leak in the department." Bill said
"This is a tough time for everyone now anyway. The anniversary of Charlotte's death is next week and most of us remember when those two started working for us." Charlie sighed at his quick trip down memory lane.
"I know they kicked my ass." Jeff said laughingly
"They certainly were a breath of fresh air, that's for sure." Bill said smilingly
"Hey you guys? Corinthos' bodyguard and hit man are staring at us. Maybe we should move our conversation farther away from them." Charlie said in a whisper.
Jeff, Charlie and Bill moved around the corner so that they were no longer within eyesight or earshot of Jason and Johnny.
"Listen, while we are just standing here why don't we put together a list of possible leaks. Are we sure that the leak is just in our department. Have we considered that it might be in another department." Jeff asked
"No other department has access to our information. No one else deals with alias missions. Most everything we deal with is Top-Secret." Bill explained
"I'm leaning towards a rookie rather than a vet. A lot of the guys have known Caroline since she and Charlotte joined the force. I can't really see any of them trying to hurt Carly." Charlie said
"I agree. It must be an newer agent." Bill said
"Well now what do you want to do about it?" Jeff asked, "We can't exactly send a memo around to all the vets because there is always a possibility that we might be wrong."
"The best thing to do is just keep out mouths shut and our eyes open." Charlie said
"You're right. Once we find out who else we can trust we will fill them in on the issue." Bill agreed
Just then Sonny walked back into the waiting room, "Has there been any news on Carly's condition?"
"Nothing yet." Jason said, "But that guy is here. Jeff something or other. He's here with two other guys. They look like cops."
"I don't care about that right now. All I care about is Carly. " Sonny said angrily
Before Jason could respond Tony walked in. Jason, Johnny and Sonny jumped up. "How is she?" Sonny asked
"We got the bullet out and it appears that we have stopped most of the internal bleeding." Tony said
"What do you mean appears?" Johnny asked
"We stopped all that we were able to find but the problem is that until she wakes up we won't be able to know for sure if there is any further damage. There is also the problem of her blood pressure. It is abnormally high and if it doesn't lower soon she could stroke." Tony explained
"Can't you give her any medication?" Jason asked
"We gave her some to lower her blood pressure but so far it hasn't had the desired effects. But like I said before even if the medication does work we won't know if she will be OK until she wakes up. There is a chance…" Tony broke off when an alarm sounded at the nurse's desk. "Who is it?"
"Carly Corinthos." Elizabeth said, "She flat-lined."
Tony ran to Carly's room followed by a few nurses.
"Oh God, Please let her be OK." Sonny followed Tony and stood outside Carly's room watching as Tony and the nurses worked to revive her.
