Chapter 16

Location- 555 Lilac Lane

20 minutes later

Carly stormed through the door of her house, Max right behind here.

"Leticia!" She called. " Pack some clothes for the boys. We're leaving in five minutes."

Leticia and Morgan walked out of the kitchen, Leticia said "Michael isn't home. Milo took him to Sonny's."

"Get clothes for him anyway." Carly said " We'll get him on the way."

Leticia went upstairs.

Carly walked over and hugged Morgan, "Guess what? We get to go spend a few days at an awesome new house that Uncle Jason found for us. We get to play hide and seek from the world."

"Cool!" said Morgan

Carly stood and grabbed the phone, dialing Sonny's house.

"Corinthos residence."

"Milo?"

"No, ma'am this is Carlos."

"Are Milo and Michael there?"

"No. they-"

"Put Sonny on, now."

A few moments later, Sonny said, his voice scratchy,

"What, Carly? I'm busy over here. Mac seems to think I ordered the death of Jose Morales."

"Where is Michael?"

"He begged Milo to take him to the store to buy a video game. They've been gone a while. So I'm sure they'll be back soon."

"What were you thinking by letting him go? Jason said not to let the boys out of our sight !"

"I haven't spoken to Jason in hours. Besides, he's safe with Milo. Ric just walked in so I have to deal with these cops now. I'll have Michael call you when he comes in."

Sonny hung up.

Leticia came down the stairs with several bags.

Max said, "Let me load up the car then come back and escort you out."

Carly said, "What is your brother's cell number?"

"Mrs. C?"

"Now, Max!"

Max gave it to her then took the bags to the car.

Milo's phone rang but no one answered it.

Michael is safe, Carly silently chanted the prayer for her son the way she had so many times for Jason. Michael was still young but already he had made her worry too many times. My son is safe.

Carly took a deep breath. As soon as Max came in they all piled in the car to head to Sonny's.

This chaos will pass like all the times before, Carly told herself, and soon the boys and I will be happy on a beach somewhere with Jason.

This heart still believes
that

love and mercy still exist


While all the hatred rage

and so many say
that, " Love is all but pointless
in madness such as this.


It's like trying to stop a fire
with

the moisture

from a kiss."

Garth Brooks lyrics

Location- Greystone

Jason walked into Sonny's living room to find Mac,

several uniformed officers and Sonny, looking like he had just gotten out of bed, standing in the center of the room.

Ric was near the glass doors to the patio, on a cell phone, "Alexis? Is Kristina with you? Good. Molly, too? Oh, thank god. Sonny is sending over more guards. I'm on my way, okay?"

Jason gave him a raised eyebrow but Ric ignored him and rushed out of the house.

"Sonny?" Jason asked

Instead of the usual arguing between Sonny and the cops, their faces were ashen.

Jason walked over to Sonny's side.

Carly came through the door, Morgan beside her, as Sonny said,"They found Milo's body dumped in an alley."

"Where's Michael?" Carly cried, her eyes were wide.

Jason's heart skidded. His worried eyes met Carly's. "What are you talking about?"
