Passions: Through the Television (chapter 3)
The next day I woke up with a big smile on my face. I could not stop thinking about last night and Jacob.
Then I rememebered about the previews. I got my computer and logged on. The previews read as follows:
"Simone goes out of town to visit her Aunt. Whitney stays in Harmony because of a tennis match, but that is not the only reason she wanted to stay. JAcob and Christy team up to try and take down the Cranes. Luis and Sheridan share a quiet day together as Allistair and Julian plan there next move."
I smiled when I read the line about me and Jacob. But what was I to do about Kay? I would have to as Jacob. I looked in the mirror as I brushed my hair and teeth. Then I put on a pair of plain blue jeans and a red sweater.
Then I decided to head on down the the book cafe. Jacob might be there. Plus I wanted to see how Chad and Whitney were doing.
When I got there I saw that Whitney and Chad were standing next to each other, holding hands, and Jacob was talking to them.
Jacob turned to see me smiling at him. "Hi there!" I said to everyone.
"Hello." Jacob said smiling at me. As I stood next to him he put an arm around my waste. I put my hand on his shoulder.
Then Chad said, "Uh-you two together or something?"
We smiled at each other and we both said, "Yeah."
Then Whitney said, "Do you guys want to come to my tennis match today? Chad is already coming and so are Theresa and Ethan because Ethan has not let Theresa out of his sight so he is coming too. You two in?"
"Sure. We'll come. When is it?"
"It's at 1:00." Whitney answered.
"Okay, we'll be there." I said.
Jacob and I went and sat in then same booth as the day before.
"So how was a night in the Crane Manison?" I asked.
"The bed was comfy but other than that, it was creepy. I kept thinking about Sheridan and the night she had as a child that caused her to have nightmares." He answered
I gasped in realization. "Oh my gosh! That's it!" I said.
"What? What's it?" Jacob looked in my eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Tha-that's what Julian and Allistair are going to use! They could find the tape and somehow use it against Sheridan and Luis and then break them up!" He knew I was right. "We've got to do something."
"I would have to agree with you. But how are we going to get our hands that tape?" Jacob asked.
"I know that it's kept in Eve's desk." Looked up as I realized something, "How about this. You distract her while I sneak in her office and get that tape. Sound good?"
"Good. Let's go." Jacob said, helping me with my coat.
We held hands as we walked out and started toward that hospital.
When we got there we saw Eve was talking with a nurse outside her office. How convenent. After the nurse left, Jacob came up and said. "Excuse me, Dr. Russel? Um-I need to know...."
I didn't pay attiention to what he was saying. I had a mission to complete. I felt so alive at this point. It was so much fun. I was all smiles. So I sneaked into the office and searched and searched.
Then, I found it. It was a small tape, just like shown on the show that day. It was time to be rid of it. But first, I thought it might help us if we listen to it before destroying it. Maybe we could take down the Cranes while we are at it.
As I sneaked out I gave Jacob the tumbs up and we left.
"What happened? Did you get it?" Jacob asked.
Before I answered I tapped him and pointed at Julian, who was walking inside Eve's office. "I guess we got here just in time. Now let's go and see what's on this tape."
We went back to my place because I had a tape player and the Crane Mansion would not be the smartest place to listen to it.
I popped in the tape and listened, "...I killed Martin Fitsgareld!..." It was the same things we heard said on the show. Me and Jacob looked at each other.
"We can't let this tear them apart. If it was just a TV show...but it's not anymore. These are real people we are dealing with." I said. "We've got to do something."
"You're right." Jacob replied, "Sheridan couldn't have killed Martin. She couldn't of."
"She never really remembered stabbing him. She just remembers picking up the letter opener and then seeing it inside of somebody." I said.
"Wait!" Jacob said, standing up, "What about the gazebo?!"
"Huh?" I asked, totally confused.
"Remember when Allistair and Julian were starting to freak when Sheridan was crying in the gazebo? And they said something about taking it apart..." Jacob said, trying to put the peices together.
"I remember." I said.
Then Jacob's face lite up like a lightbulb clicked on. "Come on." He said simply, grabbing my hand.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Time to save the world."
We walked out of the apartment buliding and then I said, "Wait! We've got to think about this. We are getting into something huge here. We have got to think about how it will affect everyone. Ethan and...and...YOU! For crying out loud you're a Crane!"
"Yeah...we've got to figure out exactly what to do." Jacob looked at his watch and said, "But right now we've got a tennis match to go to."
I looked at my watch and said, "Oh! You're right. After the match you'll come to my place and we'll talk all of this out."
"Okay," he said, "Now let's go." He smiled at me and aI smiled back.
Whitney played great. I think it was because she had Chad to support her and Simone was out of town. After the game Jacob, me, Whitney, Chad, TC, and Eve were all standing around getting ready to leave.
"You did good today sweetheart." TC said.
"Thanks daddy." Whitney said. "I had alot of happy thoughts to think about this match."
"Yes you did, like Sheridan and Theresa." Eve said.
"True love always wins in the end doesn't it?" Chad said, looking at Whitney.
"Well I am afraid that this is only the beginning for them." TC said.
"Yes, I guess you're right." Eve repiled.
**Later, Jacob and I are back at my place sitting down**
"Okay, so we need a plan." Jacob said.
"Alright," I said taking a breathe, "Ethan was very young at the time this all took place. He may not have even been born. So Ethan won't be blamed for it."
Jacob took my led and said, "And Ivy doesn't know a thing. So the only people we know about this whole secret around Martin Fitsgareld's disappearance and possible murder are Alistair and Julian. We just need to dispose of them without hurting anyone else in the process."
"Exactly." I agreed. "But how? I mean, say that his body is hidden in that gazebo and that's why they were starting to freak. What are we going to do when we know that? The police will investagate and Sheridan could end up getting blamed for something she didn't do."
"And she definatly didn't kill Martin. There is no way." Jacob said. "She was young anyway."
I snapped my fingers and said, "I've got it! We hear on TV all the time when Allistair and Julian are talking about this huge 'secret' they need to keep under wraps. Well, you are a Crane and you can get into the Libarey where they have all there conversations. So..."
Jacob finshed for me and said, "So I can set up some sorta of recorder to record the conversation!"
"But wait," I said, realizing a fault, "Allistair knows everything that goes on at the Crane estate. So he could know when you set up the recorder."
"You're right." Jacob said. We thought for a mintute, then Jacob said, "But Allistair keeps track of everything by servanlance camras. If we could deactivate them somehow..."
I finshed for him, "He would not know that you were setting it up! But how are we suppose to deactivated it? Wait until the next thunderstorm and the power goes out?"
"Hmmm..." Jacob thought. "Wait! You ever see the movie Speed?"
"Yeah. But what does that have to do with our situation?" I asked, confused.
"Remember how Jack used that tape of them on the bus and ran it over and over so the bad guy would think they were still on the bus when really, they were being unloaded?" Jacob asked. "Do you see where I am going with this?"
"Yes!" I smiled and yelled, "We use a recorded tape of the liberary being empty and then do the same thing they did on Speed while you go into the liberay and set up the recorder!"
"Yes! Perfect!" Jacob yelled. "But do you think that you know how to run that kind of thing?"
"I have seen that movie plenty of times and I know my way around VCR's. No matter how big." I answered, "So right now Allistair isn't even in Harmony so I can get my way into the servalance room. I just hope I know how to re-root the connection so that Allistair is seeing the pre-recorded tape of the empty liberary."
"I know you can do it." Jacob said, kissing me, "I believe you can."
We both smiled and said, "Alright. Tomorrow, we save the world."
