CHAPTER 13

Carly met each person's eyes defiantly. She had nothing to be ashamed of. She was an asset to the US Government. The President himself had congratulated her for her work in the mission that killed Charlotte. She turned to Bobbie blatantly ignoring Sonny and Jason. "Mama, I know you have a lot of questions-." She broke off when Sonny interrupted, "Damn right we have questions."

Carly closed her eyes, "Sonny please."

"Please my ass Carly." Sonny practically shouted, "You've been fucking working for the CIA this entire time! I can't even look at you. Stay the hell away from me!"

Sonny walked out quickly followed by Jason, Johnny and Max who all wore similar looks of shock and disgust. Carly flinched under their glares but understood their anger. She turned back to the people still staring at her, "Like I was saying I know you have questions and I want to answer them but not now. A lot of classified information will be coming out at the trial. Once it does it will be a matter of public record and I can talk about it. Until then please just accept what you have seen tonight and be prepared to testify at the trial."

Carly's cell phone began to ring, "Corinthos…WHAT!…Oh my god." She snapped the cell phone shut, "Everyone get the hell out of here!"

"What?"

"The restaurant is rigged with explosives! Just get out!" Carly shouted as she hustled the remaining patrons out of the restaurant. She had just managed to get everyone outside when she remembered something. "Bill, there's a second disk."

"What are you talking about." Bill asked her

"When I was fighting Caruso he said something about--…" Carly broke off. She muttered quietly under her breath. Bill caught a few of her scattered words. She seemed to be saying a rhyme. Her eyes got wide, "I've got it. There's another bomb. Not just in the restaurant, but in the entire town. We've got to shut down their system."

"How?" Bill asked not even sure he wanted to know the answer.

"Its to hard to explain. I've got to go back in to the hotel." Carly said quickly taking off her jacket and securing her earpiece.

"But you have to go through the restaurant to get to the hotel and we know for sure that the restaurant is rigged." Bill said

"Then I'll have to go quick." Carly took of running before Bill or anyone could stop her.

Everyone, including Sonny and his entrouage stood out infront of the restaurant and watched as Carly ran back inside. "What the hell is she doing Mac?" Luke asked Mac who had just arrived with several other members of the PCPD.

Mac shrugged and walked over to Bill who was sitting in an unmarked van a few feet away. "What's going on Bill?"

"I don't know yet." He said, "She's still connected so we can still communicate with her." He turned up the volume so all those within the vicinity could hear what was going on. Carly's breathing could be clearly heard occasionally broken up by a curse from Carly.

Carly ran through the restaurant as fast as she could praying that she would get out of there before it exploded. Carly breathed a sigh of relief as she entered the hotel. She ran to the reception desk and leaped over it. "OK Carly. Remember the hallway and the map that's the key. The desk is point A." Carly walked through the lobby and the first floor of the hotel talking herself through her own memory, which had so long been repressed. She slowed suddenly, "And X marks the spot." She turned to find herself staring at a blank wall. "No, this isn't right."

"What's wrong Carly?" Bill's voice crackled through her earpiece.

"Who did the construction on this place after the fire?" She shouted

"PC corp. I think. Why?" Bill asked

Carly closed her eyes, "Son of a bitch."

"What's wrong?" He asked

"Paolo Caruso not Port Charles Corp." Carly said quietly, "It was a set-up. The whole thing with Marcus. They knew I was here before Sorel even knew my name. It's in the wall. It has to be." She looked around frantically as Bill ordered her to get out right now. Her eyes landed on a fire extinguisher case. She closed her eyes and slammed her elbow through the glass. She yanked out the extinguisher. She began to use it on the wall. When it was coated in a white foam she began to ram it into the wall. The drywall crumbled away.

She let out an audible gasp. There was actually a door behind the wall with a keypad next to it. She ignored Bill's continued shouting. "Password, password, what the hell is the password?" She ran through a list of possibilities, and then it struck her, could it really be that easy? She typed in C-A-R-O-L-I-N-E and hit enter. The door immediately opened. She ran inside the room. It was a small but fairly high tech room with one main computer and several circuit breakers. "There's to many switches to do them one at a time. I have to do them all through the main frame on the computer. I knew I should have paid better attention in that computer class they made up take at training."

"Not funny Carly." Bill said

Carly sat at the computer and turned on the system. "You'd think he would use a different password, dumb-ass." Carly muttered as she typed in Caroline again. "Holy shit." She whispered as the program came up. She put a hand up to her ear. "Control, this is working girl we have a slight situation here. There is a bomb on every block from here to the pier and then about another 10 at the hospital and more going towards highway. Initiate emergency evacuation procedures just in case I can't do this."

Carly furiously began to type. She had neglected to mention to control that they were set to go off in just under 5 minutes. It didn't take her very long to disable the bombs on the computer but now she had to disable the circuits incase they were rigged as a secondary trigger. She stood frozen in front of the circuits. Which wire does she cut? Blue, Green, Red or Black? "Roses are red, Violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you." Carly whispered as she cut the black wire. When nothing happened she took that as a good sign and moved quickly to cut the other wires. She had just gotten to the last one when an alarm started to go off.

She cut the last wire and grabbed the disk out of the computer and ran out of the room. She ran full out through the hotel and into the restaurant. "Bill I got it. I did it. None of the bombs went off."

Bill's answer was cut off by a huge blast. An explosion ripped through the Grille. The people standing outside heard Carly's scream through the speakers and shielded their eyes from debris and heat from the explosion.

"NO!" Sonny shouted, "Carly!"

The group stared fixedly at the flames the engulfed what used to be the Port Charles Grille. Bill and sever other agents were working frantically to put out the fire. The fire department was already there from when the bomb was first discovered. Static was the only thing that could be heard from the speakers in the CIA van. The last thing that they heard was Carly's gut wrenching scream.

The citizens of Port Charles were all pushed back behind the police tape and they watched as the firefighters worked to put out the fire. Bobbie was crying with her hand over her mouth. Luke being his usual annoying self was trying to cheer her up. "Don't worry Barbara. She's a Spencer, she'll be fine. Although I still can't believe that this we have 2 Spencer's working with the police. It's a shame on the entire family."

"Dad." Lucky admonished his father, "Now isn't the time."

Luke shrugged, "I was just saying."

Sonny was staring transfixed at the building. He was thinking furiously how to get back in to the building. Jason was thinking the same thing and grabbed Sonny just as he was starting to run in. "NO!" Jason said, "You can't!"

"Jason, she's my wife! I can't let her die." Sonny shouted

"I know that." Jason argued, "She's my best friend. Let me go. You have to think about Michael. He needs you."

As much as he wanted to ignore Jason and rescue Carly himself he knew Jason was right. Sonny nodded, "OK. Just bring her back to me."

Jason nodded and took off running. He didn't ger very far when Jeff who had come back when he heard about the explosion stopped him, "No way! You're not going in there."

Jason glared at him, "Yes I am. That is my best friend in there, I'm going to find her and bring her out alive."

Jeff took pity on the younger man, "Look, I've known Caroline for a long time. Since she and Charlotte first joined the CIA. It would kill her if she knew that you were risking your life to save her's. She is already dealing with the guilt of one death, don't make her deal with 2."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Jason shouted, "You know what! Never mind." He pushed past Jeff and was about to run in to the building when the front entrance collapsed. He stumbled back narrowly avoiding the flaming debris. "Shit! Sonny I don't know where else I can go in!" Jason ran back over to Sonny just as the fire chief called him men out and ran over to where Mac and Bill were standing over the blueprints of the building.

"Mac, the building is to unstable. I can't risk my men."

"You can't just give up!" Sonny shouted at Mac, "Carly is still in there."

"I know that Sonny but we can't risk more men when the building is this unsafe." Mac explained, "We are still trying to figure something out but until the fire is put out I'm not sure what else to do."

Sonny, Jason and everyone else around just turned to stare at the building as the CIA, firefighters and police still ran around trying to find other ways in. All of a sudden it began to snow. Huge flakes began to drop all around them like signals of hope. Jason grabbed Sonny's arm and pointed. The wood was shifting near the side and a blonde head poked itself out. Carly, bloody, bruised and dirty stumbled out. She walked barely conscious to where Bill and Mac stood staring at her. She handed them the disk and completely deaf to the shouts of the people surrounding her collapsed.
