When she comes back

Chapter 9

"You still here" Sonny acknowledged when he walked down the stairs. "Carly had already left if you're waiting for her."

"I don't really know what I'm doing. Everything has changed so much." Hannah said from her spot on the couch.

"What can you expect time goes on with or with out you being aware of it. There are a lot of things I wish I could change in my past. Do something different." He said sitting down next to her. "How did things go with Jason?"

"Before or after he stormed out of here like a bat out of hell?" She looked over at Sonny and seen that he didn't find her all that amusing at the moment. "He tried to put on a brave face but I could tell his heart was breaking. Even more so now that he thinks that it's all his fault I was taken."

"He always blamed himself for your kidnapping. I do too."

"Sonny I never thought to blame you or Jason for what happened to me because I knew that the two of you would do anything find me."

"We did for a while then we gave up. I made Jason give up the search for you. I told him that it was hopeless and that we would never find you. I thought it was unhealthy for him to keep looking. Jason would have continued to look for you until he died if it wasn't for me."

Hannah wanted to cry but if she did Sonny would never forgive himself. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. A part of her was so angry with what he was saying while another part of her would have done the same thing he did. Hannah took Sonny's hand in hers and held it "None of that matters because I'm here now."

"Yes you are" Sonny said patting her leg with his free hand then stood up. "I could arrange for Max to take you back to Carly's house or you could stay here for the night in one of the spear rooms."

"I think I should go back to Cralys she would go nuts not knowing where I am. You know considering the whole five years thing."

"She would call here first."

"None the less I think I should go."

"I'll send Max in" Sonny said walking to the door "one more thing you should come over for breakfast tomorrow morning."

"Sure, night Sonny." She said not sure of she was going to see him again.

"Hello" a tall muscular man with dark brown hair wearing a suit walked into the room.

She was amused by the wardrobe of the guards. They all wore suits and ties 'you'd never catch Jason wearing one of those everyday' She thought to herself. "You must be Max. Hi I'm Hannah." She said extending her hand for him to shake it.

Max was reluctant to take her hand. He didn't know the first thing about this woman. But if Sonny trusted her than that was good enough for him so he shook her hand. "Follow me to the car."

"You must be new." Hannah said not meaning for the words she was thinking to come out of her mouth.

Max gave her a weird look "I've been working for Mr. C and Jason for a little over four years. Now if you call that new then I'm new." He said opening the back set for her.

Hannah looked at him than at the car. The only time she sat in the back seat was when two people were sitting in the front. "I'm sorry but that's a little too driving Ms. Daisy for my taste."

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"Look I don't mean any disrespect it's just that I'm not used to this type of treatment. I used to always drive myself around but since I don't know where anything is anymore I can't do that."

"Fine get in the front." Max said slamming the door he had open.

She got into the car and sat silently as Max drove to Carly's house. Half way there Hannah got tired of the silence. "You don't like me very much do you?"

"I don't see why that would matter." He said not taking his eyes off the road.

"I matters to me." Max still didn't look at her "look I go way back with Sonny and Jason. I was there before Carly came into the picture. I know that you don't know me and right now that's something that I could use right now. You have been apart of there lives for the time that I was gone."

"What are you talking about?" Max asked wishing he put the radio on.

"I need you help."

Max was so confused and annoyed that he pulled over to the side of the road. "Like you said I don't know you so why should I help you. How do I know that your not here to take down Mr. C and Jason?" He said finally looking at her really look at her. He thought that she had a haunted look in her eyes like she realized at a young age that the world was a cold dark place. It reminded him of Sonny.

"I would never hurt them and that's why I need you help."

Max sat there not knowing what to do. "How?"

"It's along story. What I need for you to do is tell me if I'm causing problems for Jason and his girlfriend. I promised him that I wouldn't and I made Carly promise to stay out of it. But I need insurance and I need you to be that for me."

Max started to rub his head. If he learned on thing it is that Sonny and Jason involve themselves with strange women. Women that most of the time scare the hell out of him because the come up with weird ideas. "I'll help only if I hear some of that long story of yours."

"Fine I'm Jason's wife."

"What? Jason doesn't have a wife."

"He thought that I was dead but it looks like I'm not doesn't it."

"If I was still driving would you have told me to pull over before you dropped that bomb?" Max shuttered at the thought of what might have happened if the car was in motion.

"I'm almost positive I would have" She said with a smirk.
