Chapter 3
Jason found himself driving like a madman back to his dorm at Central Kansas. A bottle of tequila in a paper sack that he just purchased from a nearby liquor store. He was planning on getting plastered tonight! His car sped up on the country road that was a straight shot to the college. There was no one on the roads at this time of night so he gunned it. The speedometer sped up to 110 mph before he finally cooled down some and decided he better slow it down. This was his mother's car after all. ---------------------------------------- The following morning found Jason back at the Luthor mansion putting his plan into action. He had to act fast for this to work. It was a good thing that when he drank, he held his liquor well and had a practical cure-all for hangovers. He needed all of his synopses in perfect working order to pull off this acting job. As he approached the Luthor backyard, he overheard Lex ask one of his security guards, "How long has she been dead?" "At least a day" It's showtime!, Jason toldhimself as he approached Lex and his band of security. "Lex?" Jason asked innocently, and then saw the partially buried dead body of a woman. He recoiled, "Oh my god!" Lex, obviously perturbed that Jason of all people saw this, shot him a lethal look. Irritated, Lex ground out, "Jason, what are you doing here?" Glancing back at Lex in wide eyed pseudo-shock, he replied, "I came to talk to you about some reports and then I saw security run out of the mansion" The head of Lex's security team approached Lex with a wallet, "I found this sir...We got an ID." Lex opened wallet and read the name aloud on driver's license. "Bridgette Crosby" "I know that name!" Jason exclaimed, "I've come across it several times in my research. She works for Virgil Swann, the billionaire." Lex closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. He felt a migraine coming on, "Look Jason, this doesn't concern you!" "If it has anything to do with the artifacts, it concerns me Lex!" Lex turned to his security team. He needed Jason out of here, and pronto. "Edwards, Lyle, will you please escort Mr. Teague to his car?" As Jason was escorted away by the Luthor security team, he had a smirk on his face. Phase one, complete! ------------------------------------------- That night, Lex walked into his library and caught Jason at his desk on his laptop. Jason set this scene up on purpose. He wanted to unsettle Lex, push him into doing something that was actually against the law. Jason knew that Lex will do most anything for self-preservation regarding the Luthor name and the Luthor assets, and he was going to play that angle to the hilt. "Find anything interesting?" Lex asked as he began approaching his desk, intent on throwing Jason out. Jason looks up with a quirk of an eyebrow, not a bit startled by Lex's intrusion. "Yeah as a matter of fact, I did." Lex leaned down on the desk, palms flat on the desktop, "You crossed the line, Jason. I take my privacy very seriously!" And Jason still didn't move from Lex's desk chair, enjoying the power play. He knew Teagues weren't all that much different from Luthors, both families are filthy rich and both know no boundaries. "Well Lex, I take murder very seriously." Jason pointed at Lex's laptop screen and commented, "It says here you sent an email to Bridgette Crosby..." Lex straightened, knowing it would cause more suspicion if he bodily threw Jason out. Changing tactics, his hands in the pockets of his expensive business slacks, he shrugged, "I never denied I knew her." Jason continued as if Lex never said anything, keeping his tone non-chalant, "Hmm...Confirming a meeting between the two of you here at the Luthor mansion." Jason stood up and walked around the desk to face off with Lex. Jason and Lex were about the same height, but Jason had slightly more build than Lex, making Jason look like the larger, more intimidating one. He drove his point home to Lex, watching his reactions carefully. "That meeting was to take place on the same morning she was found face down in the dirt." Lex eyed Jason, still standing his ground, cool as a cucumber. That was Lex for you. Never let the other person see him sweat. "Well, Ms Crosby never showed up for that meeting." Lex walked over to the bar to pour a drink while Jason watched him speculatively. "You mentioned an 'item' in your email. I assume you were talking about an artifact." Jason studied Lex closely while Lex sipped his brandy and met Jason's eyes, giving the appearance of a relaxed man. Jason walked closer to Lex, eyes narrowed, "What were you going to do, Lex? Were you going to buy it from her, or were you going to take it with force?" Lex had now reached the end of his patience as he hissed, "I don't need to explain myself to you Jason." Jason knew he had him at that moment. He nodded in seeming agreement, "No, but you're gonna have to explain it to the police." Lex rolled his eyes, "Look, I have no interest being in a murder investigation I have nothing to do with. Not to mention the media circus that comes with it." "Too bad Lex. There was a dead body found on your property! It's kinda hard to ignore." "Trust me, I'm not." Jason nodded knowingly, his trademark smirk coming out. "Who are you trying to protect, hm? You? Your father?" Lex got in Jason's face in anger, "Burying bodies in the backyard isn't exactly a hobby of mine, Jason!" "Yeah, well, covering up a homicide isn't exactly a hobby of mine." Jason turned to leave and called over his shoulder, "I think I'll go have a chat with the sherriff." ------------------------------------------ That night on Luthor grounds, Jason and Sheriff Adams each had flashlights and were walking through the Luthor property. "Over here Sheriff." Jason walked toward the spot where he knew the body was buried, then he looked around in pretend confusion. "Wait a second." He spun around, there was no body left there anymore and it looked like things have changed in the backyard too. Jason pointed at a spot on the ground as he insisted, "The body was right here. It was right next to this rock. They must have just built that gazebo." Sheriff Adams seemed tired, and was obviously not believing a word Jason was telling her. She sighed, "Well, according to county records, the gazebo's been here even before the Luthors ever heard of Smallville." Jason spun around to face her, vehemence in his voice, "Sheriff, I know what I saw!" "Uh huh. The dead and decaying body of one Bridgette Crosby..." She shook her head and sighed tiredly again, "Mr. Teague. I'll level with you. A good murder mystery is just the thing I could use right about now. The thing is, you can't have a murder without a victim. And see, this Bridgette Crosby….. there's no record she even existed." Jason rolled his eyes heavenward, "For the love of... this is crazy! Of course she existed!" "Well, every government database from the IRS to the PTA happens to disagree with you Mr. Teague. I even went on one of those Google searches and it kept asking me if I meant 'Bing Crosby'." Jason's face lights up as an idea seemed to hit him. "The gardener! The gardener found the body! Did you question him?" "I questioned the entire landscaping staff." "C'mon Sheriff, think about it. It's Lex! He's paid them off or he's intimidating them!" Sheriff Adams was sick and tired of this whole situation by now and she gritted out, "Or you're yanking my rope, Mr. Teague." She walked closer to him and pointed a finger underneath his nose, "The next time you say there's been a killing, I'd better see a stiff!" Jason and the Sheriff walked back to their cars, once Jason saw that the Sheriff had left, he pulled out a cell phone from his pocket and called his mother, that self-satisfied smirk back on his face. "Hello Mother... " He smiled wider, his plan did work and his mother will love it... "Oh it's done! Lex took care of the body just like we wanted... I love you too." He hung up, then admired the Kryptonian stone he took from Bridgette Crosby that he was now holding in his hand.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
