The Oceanfront
Chapter 3
Breaking away from the hug she gave him Carly questions "It's been awhile since Gary's been gone. Shouldn't he be back with the things he purchased for me by now?"
"I'm sure Gary will be here soon enough. He's probably making sure no one is following him. He knows I don't want Savage to find out where we are."
Touching his arm lightly Carly asks "How are you really feeling?"
Smirking at her, Sonny states "I'm a big boy Carly. It takes a lot to hurt me"
"Savage is a powerful man Sonny. He even forced the mayor to retire because he didn't like that our last mayor was trying so hard to fight against crime. He uses his fish factor to get rid of people he doesn't like. I never seen him in act but the rumors alone of what he's done is horrid"
Nodding his head Sonny walks away from her; knowing she was right and hating Savage for getting the best of him. "I know, but I'm stronger"
"Which is why I knew I could count on you to save my father and I from Savage. My father isn't perfect. He's made a lot of mistakes in his life but he's all that I have. My mother left my father and I when I was just a baby. I don't even remember how she looks like. My father burnt all her pictures in a drunken rage when I was just a baby a few weeks after she left us. Ever since then it was just him and me against the world. When I promised my father that I would marry Savage I knew I couldn't go through with it but I had to lie to keep my father safe until I came up with a plan to set us free. Then I heard that you were coming into town and that's when I knew you were my way to freedom." Carly declares
"As strong as I may be things don't always turn out the way I want them to" Sonny cautions her, hating that she had so much faith in him while knowing he had failed to protect her father.
"You mean like getting shot and being thrown overboard"
"Yeah" Sonny sighs out heavily hating that he couldn't save both Carly and her father like she had saved him from Savage. Although he was happy that he at least could save her. IF he had let Carly go like she wanted to leave earlier she would have died a painful death alongside her father.
Making her way towards the bed Carly asks since she knew he lived in Port Charles "When Savage dies will I see you again?"
Glancing at her then towards the bed where they just had sex on Sonny whispers out "I hope so" but truth was he didn't think once the truth was out he would ever see her pretty face again. It was weird to
feel such sadness at the thought of never seeing her again especially since he hardly knew her but he felt a connection with her that he never felt before with another woman.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Carly asks yet again since she could tell ever since he got that phone call something had changed.
"I'm fine. Just need a drink. Do you want one?" Sonny asks
"No I'm good"
"Alright" Sonny nods his head before opening the bedroom door and walking out to get himself a much needed drink.
Watching him walk away from her, Carly lets out a heavy sigh as she silently wonders why she could care so fast about a man she hardly knew. She had one night stands before but strangely when she slept with Sonny it felt different. She felt a connection towards him she never felt before towards another man.
Letting out a chuckle as he hears his cries as his right hand man shots him in the leg,
Savage utters out "Now as I see it you have two choices you either keep your silence and die a very painful death or tell me where Sonny has Carly Benson stashed and save your own skin"
"If I tell you where she is the boss will kill me!" Gary states as he watches one of Savages goons come towards him with a rusty shark hook.
"Corinthos may have the chance to kill ya before I kill him but you have a better chance of breathing if you tell me where my fiancé is. Now you either tell me where she is NOW or I will use you as shark bait. Just so you know I've done this before and there is nothing a shark loves more than the taste of human flesh"
"Okay! Okay! I'll tell you!" Gary states; hating he was betraying his boss but his life was more important than his.
"Smart man" Savage states with a wicked grin across his face
Walking out of the bedroom where she and Sonny had sex Carly makes her way towards the living room of the house and finds Sonny with a drink in his hand as he gazes out of the window. "You know you're not the kind of person I thought you would be" Carly remarks causing him to look her way.
"What kind of person did you think I was?" Sonny questions back
"A kind of man like Savage is, well that's how the media always portrays you anyways. But you're nothing like him. You have a soul. I can see it in your eyes. When I risked my life to save you I didn't realize at the time the media was wrong about you. I just took a chance knowing that if I saved your life you would probably want to help me out by getting rid of the man who almost killed you."
"There's a dark part of me that I would never want you to see" Sonny admits, since he had done evil in his life. He had killed for money and power. His hands were dirty like Savage but he lived by a code that Savage refused to live by.
"Well I like what I see" Carly states with a smile across her face as she walks over towards him.
"You might not always like what you see" Sonny cautions knowing that she was rightfully going to blame him for her father's death.
Before Carly had a chance to say anything Jason walks in calling out his name "Sonny"
Glancing towards Jason Morgan Carly gives him a small smile "I'll make myself scarce and let you two talk business"
A Carly walks past him, heading towards the room where Sonny was using as his bedroom Jason gazes towards Sonny with a slight frown across his face.
Hearing the sound of the bedroom door being shut Sonny questions softly "Is the place clean?"
"Yeah, it's clean" Jason remarks before going on to remark "She doesn't know, does she?"
"No she doesn't" Sonny responds dryly before taking a sip of his drink.
"Why didn't you tell her? She has a right to know" Jason questions
"Now isn't the good time. If she finds out the faith of her father she's going to be out for blood. That woman risked her life to save mine just so she could save her father. If she finds out what she did was in vein there's no telling what kind of stunt she may pull to get her revenge. You know if Savage gets the chance he will not think twice about killing her. Once that bastard is dealt with I'll let her know."
"Are you sure that's the only reason why?" Jason questions because he noticed the change between Sonny and Carly from when he last saw them. Something obviously happened between them while he was gone and he silently wonders if his best friend had grown an attachment towards the blonde.
"Why else would I not tell her?" Sonny questions back
"I don't know you tell me" Jason states
"There is no other reason" Sonny remarks back before drinking down the rest of his drink; not wanting to admit to his friend that he felt a connection with her. He didn't want to admit to it because if he did he would have to admit to being afraid of losing her which was insane because he hardly knew the woman.
Placing the empty glass onto the window shield beside him Sonny goes on to say "That bastard needs to die before nightfall."
"Are you sure you'll be able to handle it? Savage won't die without a fight and you're still healing from your injury Sonny"
"He dies today!" Sonny repeats with his hands balled into fists by his side
"I'll get the men ready" Jason states before walking out of the room
A little while late as Sonny tucks his gun into his holster he remarks to Carly as she gazes at him from her spot on the bed "My guard Ryder will be staying with you while I'm gone. I just got off
the phone with Gary and he will be here shortly to help Ryder keep you safe. The rest of my men will be with me and Jason but don't worry you'll be safe here. Savage doesn't know about this place so he can't hurt you"
"Be careful Sonny" Carly states as she grabs the pillow that was on the bed and hugs it.
Walking his way over towards her, he leans into her and gives her what he assumes will be their last kiss. Breaking away from her lips as she lets out a soft moan he tells her "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine"
Opening the bedroom door Jason states "The men are ready"
"Let's go" Sonny orders out as he heads towards the doorway. Reaching the doorway he gives Carly one last glance before walking away and heading into battle.
Heading towards the front door as she hears someone ringing the doorbell Carly tells Ryder who was following behind her "That must be Gary with all the stuff he got me. He's probably using the doorbell because his hands are full"
"That may be, but the boss would want me to answer the door Miss Benson" Ryder states as he lightly grabs her arm, stopping her from answering the door.
Rolling her eyes Carly states "Fine you answer it"
"Thank you" Ryder smiles before stepping in front of her so he could answer the door.
As he opens the door Carly gasps in shock as she sees Savage and a couple of his men over
Ryder's shoulder. As Ryder reaches for his gun a shot goes off; seconds later his body falls to the ground as Carly lets out a scream before taking off running.
Walking over Ryder's dead body Savage chuckles out to his men who were behind him "I love it when they try to run"
Sitting in the back of a bullet proof limo Sonny glances towards Jason as he remarks "Something doesn't feel right"
"What do you mean?" Jason questions back
"I don't know but something feels extremely wrong. I can feel it in my gut" Sonny explains; he didn't know why he was feeling the way he was feeling but he knew that his gut was never wrong.
"You're having second thoughts about going through with this?" Jason questions while silently wondering if Sonny was trying to buy time to be with the blonde who saved him by postponing Savage's death. It wasn't like Sonny to be having second thoughts about a hit but maybe the blonde who saved him did more than saved his life but had captured his best friends attention like no other woman had done before.
"I haven't changed my mind about that bastard!" Sonny declares
"Good" Jason nods his head as Sonny pulls out his cell phone Jason goes on to ask "What are you doing?"
"Just making sure Carly is alright" Sonny comments as he calls Ryder's cellphone. After a few rings Sonny frowns when he gets his voicemail "Ryder isn't answering his cellphone"
"Maybe Carly is giving him a hard time so he doesn't have time to answer his phone. From what I saw of her she can be quite the handful."
"He knows when I call he needs to answer his phone no matter what Jason! Something is wrong!" Reaching for the intercom button Sonny orders out to his driver "Take us back to the safe house NOW!"
Running down the hallway Carly lets out a scream as a gunshot goes off; hitting her in the
leg. Falling on the floor by the room where she and Sonny had sex in earlier Carly hears Savage's laughter as he tells her…
"I guess Sonny couldn't save your life either"
Pressing pressure onto her gunshot wound with her hands Carly looks into his evil cold eyes as
she questions "What do you mean?"
"You mean Sonny or Jason didn't tell you about your father?" Savage questions as his men smirk at her.
"What about my father?" Carly asks as she shoots him a deadly glare as tears stream down her face.
"He died a horrible death, but before he died he was informed of your betrayal. I'm disappointed that Morgan and Corinthos didn't give you my gift I left behind for you. After I took the time to dismantled his head from his body the least they could have done was give you my gift"
"YOU BASTARD!" Carly screams out with tears in her eyes as she finds the strength to stand up despite the gushing blood that was seeping from her leg. As she is about to lung at him a man appears out of the room wearing a bullet proof vest; knocking her out of the way and back onto the floor as he starts shooting at Savage and his men like some sort of terminator using a machine gun.
Jumping out of the limo before it came to a complete stop Sonny runs towards the safe house
with his gun in his hand. Running up the staircase of the porch he spots Ryder's dead body "NO!" Sonny yells out as he runs into the house with Jason following closely behind.
"CARLY?! CARLY answer me!" Sonny shouts out into the house as he walks down the hallway spotting Savage's dead body covered in bullet holes along with some of his men.
Peaking his head out of the room Luke calls out "She's in here partner"
Steeping over Savage's dead body Sonny rushes towards where Luke was so he could see for himself that she was okay. As he pushes by Luke, Sonny spots Carly past out on the bed with a tourniquet around her leg
"I called your doc. He's on his way. I tried waking her up man but she lost a lot of blood" Luke explains grateful he arrived in Florida when he did.
Tapping her face lightly Sonny could hear Luke speaking but what he was saying didn't register as he pleads with Carly "Don't you die on me! Do you hear me?! Don't you die!"
Standing by Luke, Jason silently watches as his best friend pleaded for Carly not to die. Glancing down at his watch he silently hopes that their doctor got here before it was too late.
