Chapter 22 Jason rolled over in bed and sleepily reached over for Carly but found that she was gone. He opened his eyes and found her on her knees in the bathroom. �Carly, you ok?� Jason asked her. �No,� Carly said still feeling like she was going to get sick. �You have been getting sick a lot lately,� Jason said. �I know. I think I�ll talk to Alex when at the hospital to day,� Carly said as she climbed to her feet. Carly exited the bathroom and picked up her jeans that were on the floor. �Why you going to the hospital?� Jason asked as he got out of bed and got dressed as well. �I get the job of going to the board meeting. Father doesn�t want to do it and Mikkos has other plans,� Carly said as she slid on her jeans. �Why doesn�t Stefan do it?� Jason asked as he pulled his shirt out from under the covers. �He is hovering over Alexis at this moment,� Carly said. �I forgot. I think I better tell Sonny about her. So, I�ll drop you off at the hotel and your body guards can take you to the hospital,� Jason said as he slid his shirt over his head. �Tell Sonny good luck at getting into see Alexis. Stefan was really over protective yesterday,� Carly told him. Carly was still trying to zip up her jeans. �I have to stop eating at Kelly�s.� Carly complained as she finished getting dressed. Jason just laughed at her and they finished getting dressed and he took her back to her hotel. *********************************** After dropping Carly off at her hotel, Jason went to find Sonny. He found his friend at the warehouse. Johnny was working on getting a shipment ready to go out. �Hey, how his Josh?� Jason said as he walked over to Johnny. �A pain in the butt. He spent a day at Lucky�s new home and already came up with a list mile long on for things he wants for Christmas,� Johnny laughed. �Tell the kid he is dreaming,� Jason said and he walked into the office and found Sonny going over the books. �You planning on working for us today?� Sonny asked Jason. �I thought my job was to keep an eye on Carly,� Jason said with a grin. Sonny shot Jason a cold look but didn�t comment on his remark. Jason wiped the smile off his face and said, �I stopped by to tell you something is going on with Alexis.� �What�s wrong with her?� Sonny asked putting down his pen and looking up at Jason starting to panic about her. Jason told Sonny what Carly had told him last night. �Thanks, Jas,� Sonny said as he stood up and reached for his coat. He wasn�t going to waste any time. He was going to go see Alexis now. �No problem. If you need me for anything, I�ll have turn my cell phone on,� Jason said and together the to men walked out of the office together. �Johnny, something came up. You have the place,� Sonny said. �No problem,� Johnny said and he didn�t even to bother to ask what was going on as Sonny and Jason left. Sonny went to Spoon Island to check on Alexis and Jason went to the hospital. He figured she might need a little back up dealing with Edward at that board meeting. ******************************************** The General Hospital Board members were waiting for Carly to arrive. They just didn�t know it was Carly that was coming. �Why are we waiting Stefan now?� Edward snapped, as he looked at his watch for the tenth time in the last five minutes. �Stefan might not be coming. I heard his father is in town. Mikkos might be the one that shows up,� said one of the female board members. �Mikkos Cassadine is alive?� Edward demanded. This was the first time he heard this bit of news but then again. He had out of town for a month doing Ned�s work. �Monica and Alan didn�t tell you? I�m shocked,� the woman said looking in Alan�s direction. �Not only is Mikkos alive but so is his brother Victor. Also, I heard that Luke Spencer is Mikkos son and Bobbie�s daughter Carly is Victor�s daughter.� �Spencer is a Cassadine?� Edward said. He didn�t believe this one at all. �I�ll the rest late, father,� Alan said. �Oh, you will,� Edward replied. The board room door opened right then and Carly walked in dressed in an Italian tailored suit. �Sorry, I�m late,� Carly said in her most regal sounding voice. �Don�t tell me they sent you?� Edward demanded. �Yes, they did. It�s seams something has come up and the family is a little busy at the moment. Uncle Mikkos sends his best but he can�t be here,� Carly said as she took the seat at the head of the table. Edward looked at her as if she was from Mars. �You expect us to take you seriously?� Edward demanded. �Yes, I have the family�s vote in how to run the hospital. Now, you don�t want us here that is fine. We leaving but from looks of the books. You will not stay open for much longer. Now, you can either put up with who ever the family sends to these meetings or not,� Carly said. �Aren�t you Bobbie Jones�s daughter?� one of the board members asked her. �Yes, Barbara Jean is my mother and before you say it. Victor Cassadine is my father but who parents are doesn�t matter here and now. We have lots go over and I don�t plan on spending my entire day in this room. So, shall we get to work,� Carly said as she opened the file that was in front of her. Everyone watched her for a moment but they knew if the Cassadines walked out with the money, then they might as well close the doors for good. So, one by one everyone did the same thing and they got down to business. ************************************************ Jason was walking down one of the halls in the hospital when Monica called out to him. �I�m hoping you come to see me,� Monica said. �I�m looking for Carly but you�ll do,� Jason said with a grin ducking his mother�s playful swing. �You,� Monica said giving Jason a big hug. �How you doing?� �Ok,� Jason said. �Just ok?� Monica asked him giving him the once over. �I�m fine,� Jason said smiling as the two of them walked down the hall together. �I worry alright. Not as much as did before Robert became partners with Sonny but I still worry,� Monica said. �Sonny isn�t that bad and Robert is all right himself,� Jason said. �How is Luke doing?� Monica asked. �Alright. I haven�t seen him much. I think he has a lot on his mind,� Jason said. �I bet. I heard from Bobbie what is going on. I want you to be careful. The last time Mikkos caused trouble in this town things got a little cold,� Monica warned him. �I�ll watch my back and don�t worry. Whatever the Cassadine are up to. Robert, Sonny and Luke are on it,� Jason said. �That is what worries me,� Monica said. �Those three find trouble and I don�t you in it.� �Don�t worry,� Jason told her as he gave her a hung. �Jason, when you have kid. You will always worry,� Monica told him. �Sure,� Jason said thinking his mother was just over reacting as usual. Chapter 23 Back to A Father's Love |
