Chapter 6- Revelations

Since the apartment had been trashed, Sam and Jason were on high alert. Each step made them more fearful, more paranoid, and more disturbed. Which was why Sam was so worried when the clock turned 10 pm and Jason still wasn't home. She hadn't even received a phone call. Nervous, she had called Sonny and Reese who had insisted that she come over. But Sam was worried that Jason may try and call the penthouse, or he might come home, so the two were now sitting on Sam and Jason's couch, trying to calm the pacing pregnant woman.

"Sam, I'm sure he's fine. He's Jason, he knows how to handle himself" soothed Reese.

"Yeah, like he knew how to handle himself on the docks that night? He could be lying in the dirt, beaten again" she said before she started crying again.

"Sam, I'm sure he's not" said Sonny as he went over to her and embraced her. "The men are looking all over for him. If that's the case, which I'm sure its not, than they'll find him and we'll fix him up again"

"His ribs are still sore!" said Sam. "We still need to change the bandages! What if he has another broken one, and it punctured his lung or something!"

"Sam, stop thinking of the worst what if's possible. Stay positive" instructed Reese.

"Ah, Sonny" said Max as he poked his head in.

"I'll come out into the hall" said Sonny as he started up.

"No, if it's about arson, I want to know. Please" she begged.

Max looked at Sonny for approval, and once the man nodded yes, he pulled something from his pocket.

"We found this, taped to one of the warehouse doors. It's addressed to Mrs. Morgan" said Max as he handed her the envelope.

Sam hesitantly opened it, read what written on the message, burst into silent tears, and passed the letter to Sonny. Sonny read it, and angry image crossing his face.

"What happened?" asked Reese.

"The bastard took Jason" said Sonny quietly as Reese wrapped her arms around a sobbing Sam.

Jason woke up in the dark room with a splitting headache. Rubbing his head, he felt a big bump coming. Looking around, it all came back to him. Someone had hit him on the head, and now they were keeping him captive. Finding the door in the little moonlight that the barred window allowed to enter, he pushed on it hard, but it didn't open. Peering through the window, he was still unable to make out much of anything. He rammed his shoulder into the door once more, wincing as his ribs protested. But he didn't care about the pain right now. He needed to get to Sam and Jack. He just hoped they were ok. He knew that they were probably with Sonny right now, but it didn't totally ease Jason's fears. Sam was probably worried sick, and that wasn't good for the baby. Suddenly, the door opened and Jason jumped and grabbed the person, holding them in a tight chokehold. Looking down, he gasped at who he saw.
"We will find him Sam" assured Reese. "Sonny and his men are the best at this, and don't forget, I used to be a pretty good FBI agent, specializing in kidnappings. If anyone can find Jason, we can"

"What if no one can?" asked a tearful Sam.

"We will find him. I promise you sweetie" said Sonny sincerely. "But for now, you need to remain stress free. For Jack's sake"

"Right, for Jack's sake" repeated Sam in a dead tone.

"I'm going to make you some tea to calm your nerves. Try and relax, ok?"

"Yeah, I can try" she said as Sonny walked into the kitchen.

"It'll be ok. Focus on the baby" said Reese, smoothing back her hair like a big sister would do to her little one.

"Oh god, speaking of babies… you can't put yourself on the line and look for Jason! You have your own baby to think about now!"

"Sam, don't worry. I wont let any harm come to this baby, Jack, Sonny, or Jason. Everyone is going to come home safe and sound once this nightmare is over"

"Did you even tell Sonny yet?" asked Sam.

"Not yet, but I will"

"Reese tell him. Trust me. You never know when he could end up kidnapped" she said thickly before she started crying again.

"Carly!" exclaimed Jason.

"Let me go Jason" she croaked out.

"Never. I'm going to choke the life out of you Carly" growled Jason. "You were the one? You were the one torturing me and Sam? You had that message written on the mirror, and you had her food poisoned and the apartment wrecked. You even had me beaten up"

"No, wait, please let me explain" she croaked out again.

"Not a chance in hell" sneered Jason angrily as he tightened his grip on her.

"I did it because I love you" she said slowly while gasping for air.

Jason tightened his grip.

"Give me one good reason not to kill you right now" he demanded.

"I can give you one" said a voice from behind him.

"Here's your tea" said Sonny as he walked back into the living room. "Drink up, and then try and get some sleep. Jack has been through a stressful day, and so has his mommy"

"And his daddy" mumbled Sam as she took a sip of the tea. "I need the truth; do you think he's ok?"

"I honestly do" said Sonny. "He's probably most worried about you and the baby now. He really is good at getting himself out of tricky situations"

"I hope your right. Because I cant imagine my life without him" said Sam.

"And you wont have to" said Reese. "We'll find him, I promise"

Jason turned around and was shocked at who he saw, the person pointing a gun at him.

"COURTNEY!" he asked in such shock that he accidentally dropped Carly.

Scrambling away from him, Carly ran over to Courtney who still had the gun on Jason.

"Hello Jason" said Courtney.

"You had a hand in this?" he asked.

"Oh, I was the one who came up with half the things. Carly's idea was to trash the penthouse, but the rest was all me"

"I should have figured" he mumbled. "You even had me beaten up?" he asked.

"It was a terrible sacrifice, but a necessary one indeed. Don't worry, I'll tend to your wounds later" she said seductively, and Jason had to suppress a shiver, and not a good kind of shiver.

"Why? Why would you do this? I thought you were happy and in love with Jax?"

"Jax? No way. I gave myself to that man, 100, and do you know what he does to me? He just happens to track down Brenda and run away with her. That bitch"

"Yeah" agreed Carly.

"Brenda's not a bitch" said Jason, immediately coming to her defense. "She may be annoying at times, but she's a good person. She wouldn't have done this in a million years"

"Maybe so, but we are, so deal with it Jason" said Carly.

"So, how was this alliance formed?" asked Jason, still eying the gun, waiting for the perfect opportunity.

"Well, Carly found me in London, her last stop with Lorenzo. She told me what you did to her, and I thought back to that night on the docks. If you hadn't pushed me away when I was kissing you, none of this would have ever happened. You brought this upon yourself Jason by sleeping with that slut, marrying her, and then knocking up the tramp" scoffed Courtney.

That was the sudden burst of anger Jason needed. Throwing himself at Courtney, he lunged for the gun, trying to grab it from her hands. He got her down to the ground and pointed the gun at her head.

"Sam is not a tramp or a slut! You are!" he yelled. "And you are going to die for what you did to her and my son!"

"I would think twice about that Jason" said Carly, and Jason felt her press another gun into his back.

Sonny held out his arms to Reese who gladly entered them.

"Look at her sleeping. If only her rest was peaceful" whispered Reese as they watched Sam toss and turn in her and Jason's bed as she tried to sleep.

"I know. I'm so worried about her. And Jason" he whispered back as he led Reese out of the room, but left the door open so that he could hear Sam if she woke up.

"I don't ever want to think about you being kidnapped" said Reese as she buried her head in Sonny's chest.
"I won't let it happen. I would never do that to you" said Sonny.
"And you think that Jason wanted it to happen to him?" asked Reese sarcastically.

"No, but I can guarantee that he is fighting his way back to his family. And that's just what I'd do. You mean too much to me to lose. You and my kids. Our kids"

"Sonny" said Reese softly, taken aback.

"Carly is not fit to be a mother. She abandoned her children to speed across the world with my sworn enemy. She never cared about them, she cared about using them. You however, have always been there for them. You love those kids, and they love you. Morgan thinks of you as more of a mother than Carly. And alright, Kristina has a loving mother, but she doesn't mind having a loving stepmother as well. You're a fantastic mother"

"Well, I'm glad that you think that" said Reese as she blushed. "Because…"

But Reese never got to finish her sentence as she was interrupted by Sam suddenly crying out for Jason from the next room. The two ran in, dead set on comforting her, and everything else was momentarily forgotten.

"Get the gun off Courtney Jason, or I will shoot you"

"You wouldn't dare" he challenged.

"You really think so? I've shot people before. Besides, this would be an amazing way to destroy Sam. Send you back to her in a body bag"

Knowing what it would do to Sam if he died, he reluctantly let go of the gun and stood up, away from Courtney, who snatched the gun off the floor.

"You will cooperate, I can assure you of that Jason" said Carly.

"And if you don't, we may have to hurt Sam, or that disgusting little child that she's carrying. Are you sure that it's even yours?" asked Courtney.

Knowing that they were just trying to get a rise out of him, Jason blocked them out.

Seeing that they weren't going to get a reaction out of him, Carly called out for a man who came and roughly seized Jason.

"Remember this guy?" asked Carly. "He's the one we hired to beat you on the docks, and the one Courtney hired to trash the apartment. Couldn't let you trace that to me, could I?" she asked. "Anyway, he won't hesitate to bruise those ribs a little more Jason. So you had best do as we say"

"Take him back to his cell" said Courtney, blowing a disgusted Jason a kiss as he was led away.

A/N: I really don't hate Courtney or Carly, but they needed to be evil in this story.
