Phase 2

Kathryn cheered as Jase outran the safety into the end zone holding his arms out while running past the opposition fans who happily booed him. That was the final nail in the coffin, Bayton had given the team from San Francisco a hammering they'd never forget and were all to happy to celebrate. The referee blew for the final whistle as the Bayton team celebrated, they'd finished second in their division for the season and that was an occasion to celebrate.

It had been four months since the raping of Eliza and of the questioning from Jase, luckily the guys she hired were never found and she'd heard that they'd skipped town. Eliza hadn't however and Jase went to see her on a regular basis, there was no sex involved though and Eliza hadn't had any since the attack that had left her pregnant. When he found out Jase hit the roof and once again Kathryn had to persuade him from killing Michael Thompson who had no idea what he was in for by the end of tonight.

Walking down the tunnel Kathryn smiled, everything was ready, their bags were packed, they'd passed close to all their exams and their transfer over to N.Y.U had been accepted, all that was left was tonight. She smiled happily while passing a few people on her way to the locker room where the jovial cries of the football team could be heard as they sang 'We Are the Champions' in extreme off cue fashion. Knocking on the door it was flung open with emphasis as Johnny Westside a linebacker looked out, "Hey Kathryn."

"Hi is Alex there?"

"Sure, come on in," as soon as she entered the locker room she was hit by a wide range of cheers from the football players.

"Katey," she hated to be called that but it was Alex's pet name for her, but after tonight she'd never have to listen to that again.

Kissing Alex full on the lips she pulled away when his hands started to wander, she could see Jase out of the corner of her eye sitting in his locker, shirt off and looking like he just wanted to leap to his feet and beat Alex to death with his own helmet. "Down boy," she teased but really hoped that he'd take her seriously, "we're still going to the Underground right?"

"You know it, just let us get changed and we'll be right out," he whispered into her ear, nodding Kathryn made her way for the door when she heard Alex ask Jase a question. "So Jase are you actually going to pull tonight or are there no decent men around," Kathryn winced and turned her head to see a furious looking Jase get to his feet and get right in Alex's face.

He looked over to Kathryn who shook her head, she saw him visibly swallow the anger and reply, "Well you know Alex I'm just waiting for you to come around," the entire team laughed as Jase turned and started to get dressed, letting out a held breath Kathryn left the room and stood waiting outside the locker room door just in case.

---------------------------------------

The music thumped, the noise was deafening, the crowd was ecstatic and the alcohol was flowing, Jase stood to the side watching as the young adults on the dance floor tried dry humping each other at every opportunity. He'd been asked to dance a couple of times and had said yes to one but didn't stay long, he couldn't think about anything else but what was going to happen. This was something he dreamed about and tonight his dream was going to come true and so was a lot of other peoples nightmares.

His happy mood however was clouded by anger, Michael Thompson was going outside it looked like he needed a cigarette. This was it, now he'll make him pay for what he did to Eliza. Jase moved stealthily through the crowd that parted in front of him before finally coming to the exit, the cool air hit him like a wave as he left the club. There was no sign of Thompson but he heard a sigh come from a nearby ally, putting his left hand into his jacket pocket he checked no one was around before pulling out a black ski mask that he yanked on over and onto his head. Taking a deep breath he moved into the alley to see Thompson on the far end, he seemed to be relieving himself against the far wall. Walking quietly Jase picked up a bottle along the way down the alley.

Now this may have been an unfair advantage but Thompson was 6,7 and weighed over 300 pounds, now Jase was used to having to fight against the odds but he was only 6,4 and 211 pounds. So his only option was an attack from behind with a weapon, in Jases mind he figured if Thompson would attack an innocent woman then he deserved everything he got.

Before Jase had realized where he was he was raising the bottle in the air and brought it crashing down onto the back of the lineman's head. Thompson stumbled forward into the wall stunned and disorientated wondering what the hell had just happened, the bottle shattered into pieces on impact cutting Jases hand but also Michaels head, knowing not to waste his advantage Jase brought his knee into the spine of his victim knowing to attack the lower back and legs. Spinning him around he ducked easily under a sloppy punch and hit a punch just below the ribcage winding the lineman who slouched against the wall. Rage filling him Jase kicked Michael as hard as he could below the belt, the lineman screamed in pain falling to the floor but that didn't stop Jase who continued to hammer on him until his face was nothing more than a bloody mess and it was then that it registered that he was unconscious.

Moving away Jase left the alley while yanking off the ski mask and stuffing it back into his pocket while re entering the club.

---------------------------------------

Kathryn noticed that Jase had now reappeared, he also seemed to be favoring his right hand and she knew what the hell he'd done. Striding over she pulled him over into the corner, by the look on her face Jase thought she was going to scream blue murder at him but instead she just smiled slyly, "Did he know that it was you?" he shook his head, she was about to kiss him but thought against it. She knew that Michael Thompson had nothing to do with the attack considering that she'd orchestrated the whole thing. Bringing him in close she whispered quietly into his ear, "now," a huge smile broke out onto Jases face.

"Hey Katey," they both turned to see a frowning Alex making his way over, "what's going on," he looked on confused as Jase wrapped two arms around Kathryn's waist as she leaned back into his embrace, both wore predatory smiles, "is this some sort of joke?" he asked confused.

"You know I heard that's what Kathryn asked you when you first dropped your trousers," Jase replied, realizing that this was no joke Alex growled and shoved Kathryn out of the way and grabbed Jase by the collar of his coat. "Hey don't touch me pretty boy," Jase knocked both hands off of his collar, "this is an eight hundred dollar coat show some respect to a fine tailor."

"But…you two are cousins," Alex looked to Kathryn expecting an explanation.

"You are very stupid aren't you," she sneered, "we're not cousins, Jason just has something I need apart from the ability to fuck right and that's something you don't have…killer instinct."

"You son of a bitch," Alex smacked Jase right in the face sending Kathryn's student stumbling backwards into the side of the bar. The quarterback followed up his assault delivering a blow to the stomach and an uppercut to the jaw spinning Jase onto his front, however when Alex went to follow up Jase jabbed his elbow back into his rivals stomach and grabbed him by the head slamming it against the bar. The two continued to trade punches and blows until finally Kathryn attempted to pull Alex off, however he just swatted her off. But when his attention was diverted Jase hit a knee to the gut and then threw him over the top of the bar.

"I think it's time we left," Kathryn laughed as Jase pulled her into a kiss, "but first…" pulling out a cellular phone Kathryn pressed speed dial number one and waited for an answer, "ready," she said into the phone before switching it off and placing it back into her bag. "Come on let's go," nodding Jase followed her through the crowd and out the door but not before the giant cinematic screen that was used to play music videos flickered to life.

"OH GOD JASE, OH GOD, YES, FUCK ME JASE, HARDER, HARDER OH GOD YES," all eyes in the dance room went to Haley who stood as white as a ghost as the tape that Kathryn had recorded that day was on a continuous loop over and over again.

"SHUT IT OFF," she screamed but nothing happened, she turned to her fiancée who was standing next to her, "Dylan I'm so…" no one saw the slap coming but the entire crowd gasped as Dylan headed for the door intending to make Jase pay for wrecking his life.

---------------------------------------

Wiping the blood away from his nose Jase held the door open for Kathryn who slid into the dodge viper before Jase go in the other side she planted a lingering kiss on his lips, "Next stop the airport," she smiled and stroked his face, "my turn."

Jase nodded before putting the car into gear and tearing away just as Dylan appeared from the club, "JASE YOU FUCKER I'M GONNA KILL YOU," however neither heard his threats and if they did they chose to ignore them, this was their night.

Inside the car Kathryn smiled while turning on the radio, "Phase 2 complete."
