CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND ELEVEN

THE PENTHOUSE:

Carly(started to panic)Sonny, what are we going to do?

Sonny: I don’t know, but we’d better do it in a hurry. I don’t know how much time I have left. The minute they find out those papers Helena has are legit, they’ll put a hit out on me.

Carly(grabbed him fiercely)We’ve got to make a run for it while we’ve still got time.

Sonny: Carly, are you forgetting you’re pregnant. And what about Michael. I’m sure they’ll leave you and the children alone. I’m the one they’ll want revenge on.

Carly: Sonny, we have nothing without you. (she held his face in her hands)I don’t want to go on if I lose you.

Sonny: Carly, if we do this, we could all end up dead. You, me and the kids.

Carly: I’m willing to take the risk. Sonny, it was against all odds that you and I would make it and we did. I’m willing to take the risk if we run that we’ll make it.

Sonny(tried to think of what was best for Carly and the kids, instead of what he wanted)Carly, think of the kids...

Carly(desperate because she knew their time was running out and they needed as big of a head start on the mob as the could get if they were to get away successfully, fell back on using her most trusted weapon against Sonny. Sex. She pressed herself against him and nuzzled his neck)Baby, we can make it. I know we can. And if we do all our dreams will come true. We’ll finally have the life we’ve always dreamed of having together. Isn’t that risking everything for?

Sonny(could fight giving into his own desires, but he couldn’t fight giving into Carly’s desires, as well. He pulled her into a passionate kiss as the last of his will to resist her dissolved.)God, what you do to me!

Carly(pressed forward her advantage)Baby, you don’t want to lose this, do you? You don’t want to lose what we have together, do you?

Sonny(leaned his forehead against hers in defeat)No.

Carly: Then that leaves us only one other choice. We’ve got to run as far and fast as we can from Port Charles and never look back.

THE DOCKS:

Stefan(came up to Bobbie)Barbara, what was DeLucca doing with you on the docks.

Bobbie: You saw?

Stefan: Yes, from the boat. What did he want?

Bobbie: (blurted out)To kill you!

Stefan(raised an eyebrow in inquiry)I beg you pardon.

Bobbie: Roy said he’s going to kill you so he can free me of you.

Stefan: What a coincidence. As it so happens, I intend to kill him, as well. I wonder which one of us will succeed.

Bobbie: You’re going to what!

Stefan: I found Jax’s corpse on the yacht. When I kill that woman whose masquerading as my mother, I’ll need someone to take the fall for it. Who better than DeLucca.

Bobbie: Stefan, you can’t!

Stefan: Why can’t I? The man is a nuisance. Who aside from you will miss him when he’s gone.

Bobbie: Stefan I won’t let you do this. No matter what Roy’s done, he doesn’t deserve to die.

Stefan: Barbara, I’m afraid you’re going to have to choose between us. Which one of us is more important to you? Which one of us you want to live and which one you want to die.

Bobbie: I don’t want either of you to die.

Stefan: Barbara, DeLucca has made his intentions clear. He intends to kill me. And he will if I don’t kill him first. So who is it going to be, Barbara? Who do you want to die? Him or me?

THE UNDERGROUND GARAGE, THE HARBORVIEW TOWERS:

Sonny(finished loading their luggage in the trunk of his car, then he climbed in the car beside Carly.)Once we’re away from Port Charles we’ll have to dispose of the car. (he started up the car.)Are you sure you want to do this. There’s still time for you and the kids to back out of it.

Carly: (leaned across the seat and kissed him hard on the mouth)There’s no turning back now, Sonny. There’s been no turning back for either of us since that night we betrayed Jason and gave into our desire for each other. If you go back further than that, there’s been no turning back since the moment we first looked into each other’s eyes. Everything that’s happened before this moment has been leading up to this moment. I’m right where I belong. We both are. Let’s go.

Sonny: Just remember this moment when you start regretting not bailing while you had the chance. I gave you the chance and you refused. (he stepped on the gas pedal and drove out of the underground garage. As they were driving away from the building the windows of the penthouse suddenly exploded scattering glass every where.)

Sonny(looked up the burning husk of what used to be their apartment.)They know.

Carly: My god, Sonny, if the children and I were up there, we’d be dead, too. If we hadn’t decided to run with you, they would have killed us.

Sonny: Let’s get out of here before they find out we weren’t in the apartment when it blew.(with that, he headed towards the quickest exit out of town.)
