Chapter 8 - Kidnapped!

Since Kristina's death, Sonny and Jason had rebuilt the warehouse, and when Sonny wasn't spending time with his precious daughter he spent his time working at the newly restored coffee warehouse still named "Corinthos/Morgan". Sonny hadn't spoken to Carly for weeks now, and that had been fine by him because he enjoyed just being with his daughter, and watching how much of Alexis' character she possessed.

Carly: "Hi stranger!" She exclaimed trying to seduce Sonny, as she entered his office.

Sonny: "I'm pretty busy Carly!" He exclaimed not even removing his eyes from the documents he was looking through.

Carly: "We're still legally married Sonny!!" She whined placing her hands on top of the documents he was in the process of reading.

Sonny: "On paper; yes! In my heart and soul; no! We've been down this road one too many times Carly, and I can already tell you what's going to happen! You'll do something wrong, I'll yell, you'll do something that will make you appear redeemable, and then it's the same circle once more!"

Carly: "Is this about Ric because if it is then tell me what I've got to do to make you see me in a different way…?"

Sonny: "I don't give a rat's ass about Ric - I care about my daughter, her mother, Michael, Courtney, Jason but you Carly…"

Carly: "What about me? You're not saying that you don't love me anymore are you?"

Sonny: "I honestly don't know what I'm saying! All I know is that I didn't like where I was when we were together, and now that I have a daughter to live for I know where I want to be, and who I want to be, and it's not with you!"

Carly: "Please Sonny…Just allow me to prove myself to you - And then I'll never make you regret that decision."

Sonny: "I can't Carly…"

Carly: "Why not? Because of Alexis?" She asked whiningly.

Sonny: "Actually because of Kristina. She's on her way over here with her nurse; Gina. Alexis has a case today, and Gina has to visit her family in LA so that only left me!"

Carly: "What about Jax or Cameron or Ned?"

Sonny: "She doesn't talk to Ned anymore, and both Cameron and Jax are on business trips."

Carly: "Fine…Then let me watch her while you finish up?" She asked wanting Sonny to see her as a new person. One that wouldn't mind watching the result of Sonny and Alexis' one night together!"

Sonny: "I don't think that, that's such a great idea Carly…Alexis and I haven't really been getting along so great lately, and I think by letting you watch Kristina it would only deteriorate our relationship." He replied standing up behind his desk.

Carly: "You know that I wouldn't let anything happen to your daughter Sonny! We'll just go to the park, while you finish up here. Please…" She begged him moving closer to him until the only thing between them was Sonny's desk.

Gina: "Mr. Corinthos!" She exclaimed interrupting Sonny and Carly's conversation by strolling into the office with the baby carriage.

Sonny: "Gina…How is my beautiful daughter doing, huh?" He asked ignoring Carly, as he went to the baby carriage, and watched his angelic daughter attentively.

Gina: "She's fine - I just gave her something to eat, and everything you should need is in this bag here…" She responded pointing to the bag, which she's placed on top of the baby carriage.

Sonny: "Great! Thanks!"

Gina: "No problem!" She exclaimed smiling, as Alexis had asked her to be polite towards Sonny but Gina still didn't trust him, and certainly not with that scrawny woman next to him. After Gina had left Sonny, Kristina and Carly alone together Sonny replied

Sonny: "I bet that Kristina would enjoy you taking her for a walk in the park!"

Carly: "You mean it?" She asked smiling because she knew that she was breaking down the wall Sonny had built up ever since Ric and Carly's one night stand had been discovered.

Sonny: "Just be careful, and if she get's fussy just go back here, and I'll take care of her, OK?"

Carly: "Of course but I am a mother Sonny! I do know how to make a child feel better!"

Sonny: "Not this one! Unless it's her mother and I, who are with her she'll throw a tantrum like you've never heard or seen ever."

Carly: "OK! I really appreciate you trusting me with your daughter Sonny - I won't forget this!" She exclaimed strolling out of the office with the baby carriage.

Sonny: "And Alexis won't let me forget it either if she ever finds out - but what can happen with Carly taking Kristina to the park? Nothing!" He exclaimed trying to calm himself down forgetting about the fact that his enemies were around 24/7 in hopes of getting something Corinthos would die for; Kristina would certainly fall under that category.

Alexis had just entered PH2 after a hard day in court, and she was so glad to not find anyone in her penthouse because she really needed to unwind until Sonny came back with Kristina. Alexis loved her daughter more than life itself, but sometimes she needed to be by herself.

Alexis immediately kicked off her shoes before she took a seat on the couch, and closed her eyes. All of the sudden Alexis' cell phone began to ring, and Alexis reached into her purse, and answered the phone saying

Alexis: "Alexis Davis!"

Caller: "Ms. Davis? This is Lieutenant Taggert from PCPD!"

Alexis: "Taggert? To what do I owe this pleasure?" She asked sarcastically.

Taggert: "I'm very sorry to tell you this but Kristina's been kidnapped!"

Alexis: "WHAT? That's impossible Taggert; Kristina's with her father, and Sonny's got several bodyguards on her."

Taggert: "Apparently Carly lost them!"

Alexis: "Carly? What does Carly have to do with any of this? She hasn't even seen Kristina!"

Taggert: "You didn't know that Carly took Kristina to the park?"

Alexis: "Where was Sonny?"

Taggert: "At the warehouse - taking care of some documents because Carly had offered to take Kristina to the park."

Alexis: "Where are Sonny and Carly?"

Taggert: "Here at PCPD! Maybe you should ask Cameron or Jax to come with you - to make sure that you don't…"

Alexis: "That I don't go absolutely berserk? Was that what you were going to say Taggert? Kristina is my daughter, and I'll react in the manner I feel like, got it?" She asked disconnecting the connection.

Gina: "What's wrong Ms. Davis?" She asked, as she entered the penthouse, and Alexis was sitting on the couch with her head in her hands.

Alexis: "Gina…Was anyone with Sonny at the warehouse today when you dropped off Kristina?"

Gina: "Yeah…That scrawny Carly Corinthos was with him, and it looked as though I entered the office just in time for them to get right down nasty!"

Alexis: "That's just great…" She sighed closing her eyes afraid of what Kristina was going through right now.

Gina: "What has happened Ms. Davis?" Just as Alexis was about to answer Gina's question, Cameron burst through the front door.

Cameron: "I just heard…" He explained rushing to Alexis to take her into his embrace to offer her some comfort.

Alexis: "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in San Francisco?" She asked not understanding anything.

Cameron: "I was but when Jax got word about the kidnapping he called me, and we flew back on his private jet."

Gina: "Oh my God! Has Kristina been kidnapped?"

Alexis: "Yes - apparently it happened when Carly was at the park with Kristina."

Cameron: "Carly? What was Carly doing with Kristina?"

Alexis: "Why don't you ask Kristina's father?"

Cameron: "Sonny knows how you feel about Carly. Why would he tell Carly to go out with Kristina knowing that?"

Alexis: "This is Carly we're talking about Cameron! The woman can make Mother Teresa look bad if she'd gain anything by it."

Gina: "This is all my fault…I shouldn't have given Kristina to Mr. Corinthos. If only I hadn't promised my family to come and visit."

Alexis: "This isn't your fault Gina - the only one who's responsible for this is…"

Cameron: "The kidnappers!" He exclaimed knowing that Alexis had been about to say 'Sonny'.

Gina: "I'll go and make us all some coffee, OK?"

Cameron: "That would be great! I was just down at PCPD and Jax and I got Taggert to call if there was any news."

Alexis: "Where's Jax?"

Jax: "Right here!" He exclaimed entering the penthouse before giving Alexis a huge hug.

Sonny: "I've got bad news!" He exclaimed barging through the door.
