A/N: I'm not too pleased on how this chapter turned out, but here it is. I started another threeshot story, Healing With Love. It's a Dr. Lee/Dr. Winters story.
Disclaimer: Again, don't own 'em except for the one that's causing mayhem at the sound of her last name.
Chapter 4
The room overall looks as if it hadn't been touched, but she kept the light off and leaving the door open for light. She knows she should have waited, that's what she was told to do, but she had to get something, it was just her way. Her eyes continued scanning the room, landing on a black backpack next to the bed. Her hand slowly makes it's way towards the bag, until a hand places itself on her shoulder from behind, causing her to scream.
"What the hell you doing Carly?" Jason angrily whispered. "I thought I told you to stay in the lobby."
Carly rolls her eyes. Does he know me at all? "I would have, but I was already outside her room when you told me to do it."
"Then you go back down the elevator and you wait for me." Jason orders for future notices, even though he knows with Carly, it's going through one ear and coming out the other.
"Hey," Carly attempts to hold her own. "If I have some sadistic mobster in my hotel, I'm goin' to take care of it."
"No, you're gonna wait in the lobby like I told you to." Jason points to the door over his shoulder towards the door.
Carly wines, like usual, hoping her best friend would give in. "Come on, I'm already here." Jason continues to stare at her, making his statement firm without saying another word. She sighs, knowing she's not winning this battle. "Fine. I'll be in the lobby." She heads towards the door, for a dramatic exit, but something puts her at a halt. Something shiny, something metal, something screaming death directly in her face, causing to slowly step back in the room.
"Uh, I don't think I can make it to the lobby."
"Claudia!" Sonny shouts while walking into his livingroom. He was furious and hoped that the car ride home would mellow him out a little bit. It didn't. "Claudia gets down here!"
Claudia in fact was out on the terrace and walks in seeing her husband stand at the bottom of the stairs shouting. "What is the problem?"
Sonny, aggravated, walks over to his wife. "Who's the hell Destiny Ruiz?"
The name catches Claudia off guard for a moment. "Who?" Her begins to race, the nme sounding very familiar.
"Destiny Ruiz, daughter of Javier Ruiz." Sonny watches Claudia's reaction, watching her reaction to see if she knew something.
Oh my god. Little Destiny? "Yeah. My Uncle Rudy did some little business with them from time to time." Where's he going with this? "Last time I seen Destiny, seven years ago I think. I know it was before Jason killed her father and her uncle Manny."
"And you neglected to tell me she even existed?" Sonny by now was getting hotheaded. The fact that some kid was trying to take him down. "So you had no idea she's been running the Ruiz organization since then?"
That doesn't make since. Well, yeah, it does. "So she set up the meeting you went to?"
Sonny avoids the question. He doesn't like putting his family in danger of his business, even his wife Claudia, the mob princess of darkness. "What do you know about Destiny?"
Claudia advert her eyes over to the side, knowing the fact that trust is on the line. She'd been on thin ice with Sonny for a little while now, but does she really want to get back in with him by giving up information on some kid she once knew. "She's Javier daughter. When I knew her, she was the smart kid who wanted to know her way in the business, but her father wasn't having it. It kind of reminds me of you and Michael, difference is, she made her way of starting her own little small business." She chuckles a little at the memory, sitting on the couch. "When she was fourteen she had her own business of stealing cars and selling them other people. Never got caught as far as I'm concerned. But that was the last time I saw her. Didn't know she moved to bigger things."
Sonny sits next to his wife. "Okay, but is she dangerous? Do I need to worry in any form?"
Claudia looks back at Sonny, unsure. "I don't know. Six years ago, she made the treats in her little business, but no one was stupid to act against her. Who wants to try and step against a Ruiz, right? But a lot has happened since I last saw her. She's an orphan. She was Javier's little pride and joy. If someone killed my brother, I want to kill 'em. I can only think she may fell the same about her father."
I need to call Jason. "She said something about having other business here besides retrieving her family's property. You know anything about that?"
Claudia thinks, going through her memory to find something. "No clue."
Spinelli types frantically on his computer. "We have to inform Stone Cold of our discoveries."
Sam continues to pace back and forth behind him in their office. "I know but I want to get all the facts first. I don't want to jump into things-"
"But The Questionable One is the daughter of the deceased Javier Ruiz and-" He pauses as his computer beeps.
Sam looks over at his, watching his face form a new confusion. "What? Spinelli, what is it?"
Spinelli glances at Sam for a moment, before turning back to his computer. "It says here that The Questionable One is not the biologically part of the Ruiz clan."
Sam looks closer to the computer screen. "She's adopted?"
Spinelli nods. "Indeed. Her paternal records are sealed and it may take quite some time to uncover them."
Sam pulls out her cell phone. "I'm calling Jason."
Back at the hotel room, Carly slowly retreats back into the room with her hands in the air. This is the woman I bumped into earlier. She, she's just a kid. The young woman, in her dark suit, gave off a very mature, but a very reckless vibe at that moment.
"What the hell are you doin' in my room?" The young woman's voice sounded tired and aggravated. It was obvious to Carly that the girl didn't know who she was and that her aggravation was built up from some previous event.
"I own this hotel. I was just checking the room." Carly calmly lies. The woman stares at Carly for a moment.
"You're Carly Jacks." The woman smirks a little, knowing she got her accusation correct. "Which means, if you're standing around searching my room," The woman's eyes darken. "Mr. Morgan is close by." Her attention go passed Carly, seeing a faint shadow in from the bathroom. "Come on out Mr. Morgan."
Jason slowly steps out of the bathroom, which he swiftly hid in the moment he knew Carly was in trouble, gun pointed the young woman's direction. If Carly wasn't able to talk herself out of the situation she stumbled herself into, that he had his gun ready in tow to get them both out. The young woman clenches a little at the sight of him.
"Who are you?" Carly was the first to break the awkward intense silence.
"You already know. That's why you're here, isn't it?" The woman's eyes never leave Jason's icy blues. "Javier Ruiz's little girl has decided to make an appearance." Jason eyes widen as well as Carly, Destiny take that moment of being off guard to switch her gun point from Carly, to Jason. "You killed my father, remember?"
"Your father was a ruthless mobster and your uncle was a sadistic bastard." Carly points out, not letting the situation faze her. "Destiny Ruiz is it? Well I see what daughter he raised."
"Carly, quite." Jason firmly states, putting her in her place. They were already in an intense situation. His gun was pointed at mobster little young daughter, while her gun was directed at him as well. One false moment can send the two barrels blazing.
"Yes Mrs. Jacks, keep it quite." Destiny's voice slips into her professional tone to keep the anger from reaching it. "Only speak of what you know, and believe me, you don't know a damn thing." The tension increases as her eyes never leave Jason's. "Now, I'm not gonna kill you two, unless you give me a reason to. I'm tired and I just want some damn sleep." She lowers her gun, her appearance showing more confidence than she felt. "Can you please leave my room?" Jason nor Carly moves from their position, causing Destiny to roll her eyes. "Fine." She places the gun on the dresser next to her. "Better?"
Jason keeps his gun on Destiny while he slowly moves forward. "Carly go now." Carly looks back at Jason, noticing he's right behind her and leaves.
"I'll be sure to see you again soon Mr. Morgan." She looks at him with a genuine smile. "Tell Spinelli I said hi."
